Afternoon Cake at Drips Bakery Cafe
A little while ago, I met Daniel from Daniel’s Food Diary for an afternoon cake as he was looking for friends to have cake with him as part of his birthday plan this year. I thought since I’ve not met him for a while, why not give him a birthday treat instead? Hence, I suggested that we visit 40 Hands Coffee but we settled for Drips Bakery Cafe as he wanted to try this new place in the vicinity of the quint old neighbourhood of Tiong Bahru.
According to Daniel, the previous time he visited 40 Hands Coffee, it was very disappointing as most of the items were sold out and the manners of the staffs were rude. Although it has been highly raved by a number of media, I’ve not been there so it’s up to you to decide for yourself. 
Alright, coming back to Drips Bakery Cafe, they have quite a number of tarts and cakes on display in the chiller when we enter the cafe. They have cookies too but since it’s Daniel’s birthday cake treat, we settled for some tarts as it looks really good.
The Mixed Fruit Tart had generous bits of blueberries and kiwis on it! The round tart had a firm crust with a nice layer of cream cheese at the bottom.
Paradise Dynasty CNY Yusheng Lou-Hei with BFFs!
I was very happy to celebrate Chinese New Year with 2 of my BFFs, Mint and Darren this year as we had a Yusheng (raw fish salad) lunch lou-hei at Paradise Dynasty. I chose this place for lunch as both of them have not been here before and I enjoyed their xiao long bao very much!

We also took this occasion to celebrate Mint’s belated birthday too as both of us could not make it to witness her unforgettable zoo birthday bash as she got engaged to her fiancée, Jackie! Hence, we got her a present from Neatoshop and some brownies from The Ugly Cake Shop!

McDonald’s hosted 38 seniors from the Lion Befrienders Service Association for a CNY dinner
When I receive the email on this event, initially I thought it was a press release for McDonald’s and wanted to send it right into the thrash box. Honestly, it has been a long time since I wrote for fast food restaurant and I felt that they can survive without the need for any publicity. However this time, the email title came as “Have a Prosperity and meaningful meal with McDonald’s & the seniors this CNY!” and I told myself, why not, since I love social responsibility events. Immediately, I RSVP for this event without any hesitation.
The underprivileged senior folks, were accompanied by 2 volunteers from the Lion Befrienders Service Association and was hosted to dinner at the Ridout Garden McDonald’s branch. Also, we were very fortunate to have Ronald McDonald and Managing Director, Ms Judy Harman were present to distribute red packets and mandarin oranges to everyone.
