Buck Tile St. Cafe ♥

Advertorial

Believe it or not, I've been
sitting in front of my laptop for at least the past 8 hours thinking about what to write. I felt paralysed because I wasn't capable of churning up anything that's 'fantastic enough' for an advertorial. I didn't know where to start, didn't know what to say and was extremely frozen like a deer in the headlights. I even started googling about writer's block and that's when I realised, how stupid I've been to have wasted all the hours being a worrywart when I can just relay everything here to you guys genuinely and truthfully because there is just nothing wrong that hahahha fml.

 Now that I'm feeling all energised,
I can't wait to tell you guys all about it!!! So not long ago, I received an email invitation from Buck Tile St. Cafe to drop by for an experience and with that being said, I assumed there'd be free food and I'm so sorry but I have to admit that I was reeallllyyy pretty stoked at the idea of free food HAHAHA.

Naturally, I requested
to bring someone along and if you watch my snapchat enough, it would come off as no surprise that I brought Brian with me, last Thursday. The thought of it was exhilarating enough since I have a special liking for both spending time with him AND cafes. I would like to say that they both went very well together. :D 

Arriving at Buck Tile St. Cafe! :D 

The moment we reached the cafe,
the staff greeted us and the owner shared with me a little about their cafe and later emphasised a few times to make myself feel at home. I felt really, really blessed. Oh and by the way, the name of this cafe is actually an anagram derived from the words, 'Bucket List'. Pretty cool and seriously if the owner hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realised it at all HAHAHHA what's new I'm not that bright ok!!!


And in my opinion, this space is quite huge and spacious for a cafe!!!

We went all around and decided to settle at the end of the cafe because THIS!!!!! HAHAHA the couch makes me feel like we have the whole corner to ourselves x.

There are soft toys and pillows there too!!! T_T ♥


And I think because we came during the non-peak timing, it was really soothing and quiet. :D 

YES FREE WIFI 不可以放过!!!! HAHAHAHAHA 

The 'Inspirational corner' of Buck Tile St. Cafe. 

No, this isn't specifically
called the Inspirational corner but I would very much like to call it one because it truly is, inspirational. I stood in front of this corner for quite some time because besides the fact that you get to read their books shelved there for you along with board and card games, you can actually write down your wishes on a piece of paper and peg it along with so many others' on this huge bucket list you see above.

I read a few and
it's really interesting though I felt as if I was peeping through people's wishes but occasionally, I come across very creative-looking ones...


Or even the ones that makes me feel a little emotional..


If you ever intend to
drop by, self-service. Pen down what's on your bucket list and share it with strangers and people like both you and I. I honestly regret not writing my own when I was there, I guess I was distracted by 50 shades of grey hahahha the book was just right on the shelf I couldn't not see it!!!!

They also have a corner where accessories and other pretty items are for sale! :D 

Yay finally the cake counter!!!! ♥♥♥♥
FUN FACT: They take in preorders for whole cakes so if you're interested, you can always email them at ask@bucktilestcafe.com for more info! :D 

After exploring
the entire cafe, I finally found myself glued to the cake counter. They REALLY have a variety of desserts. Not just the ones on display, even assorted ice-cream flavours, waffles so on and so forth. I was in a huge dilemma on what to get but I knew for sure I was gonna try at least one of the flower pot cakes!!!! Thinking about it right now makes me wanna return there and try all the other desserts. ):

Left to right: Tiramisu, Oreo and Horlick! :D 

Our picks from Buck Tile! ♥

I would list down what I tried at the end of this blog post for your reference! 

Tall glass of strawberry milkshake with rainbow-sprinkles on top! Super rich and creamy! ♥♥♥

Huge beef pie for me hahahaha, I polished off every bit of it's filling. :D

Brian picked croissant sandwich for his main! 

Believe it or not, this is a blue velvet cake. 

Ok so here's my
FAVOURITE pick from all the dishes I tried at Buck Tile St. Cafe that day. I read their menu and apparently they change up the colours of the 'blue' velvet cake every now and then. So for my case last Thursday, it was in a pretty shade of blue!

The thing is, I'm NOT a food critic.
I'm not good at explicitly describing to you in detail how it tastes like and wonderful it is. I'm not capable of fancy descriptions like how the cake melts in your mouth bla bla bla. So I'm just gonna tell you straight up that this is by far, the best velvet cake I've ever tried and I would definitely return for this one cake again. And even though Brian isn't a picky-eater, it's not easy to please his tastebuds either. He actually agreed that it's nice too! :D

♥♥♥♥

Generous amount of what tastes like cocoa powder on top of the Tiramisu cake. ♥♥♥ I already set my mind to it that I would return again to try the Horlick flavoured one HAHHAA.

Brian's favourite of the lot - the sea salt caramel chocolate tart! 

Okay, this one was a little
too sweet for me but Brian LOVES it. I swear he repeated quite a few times to me that he finds this tart really good. It is VERY rich in it's flavour and thick in consistency, if you're a sweet tooth, don't hesitate to try this out! :D


WHOA OK GUYS THIS ONE MUST TRY!!!!!!!

THE ISLAND COCONUT
ICE-CREAM IS A CRAZY MUST TRY. Ok to be honest, the ice cream was the last dish we tried out of the lot but it was served to us about the same time as the rest of the dishes. First off, I was extremely surprised that the ice cream didn't really melt at all. WHY. I still don't know how it works HAHHAA but whoa when I tried the ice cream...... I immediately fell deep in love with it.

Thinking about it is already making me salivate.
I apologise for the lack of vocabulary to properly do justice to how toothsome it was for me. But please allow me to emphasise this once again that you have to try it to know it. Be your own judge to all the food! I have to say that I personally find Buck Tile St. Cafe a pretty worthy place to hang out. Amazingly soothing and comfortable ambience, huge variety of beverages and desserts with quite a bit of assorted finger foods and mains. I don't see why not!

Especially how I've already found love for some
of the dishes I tried, I'm pretty sure you would find yours there as well. ^^

Obviously treating Buck Tile St. Cafe like my own home hahahhaha


Thank you Brian, for helping me with the pictures and most importantly, your presence made this experience a very enjoyable and meaningful one. Best companion of all time goes to you x.

What's on Wednesday?

Ahhhhh, I'm not sure if this 
is boring Wednesday, chilling Wednesday or just plain lazy Wednesday HAHAHA. I woke up crazy early today, like about 5am or so? According to my friend, I've slept for at least 16 hours, now that's insane! But at least my body clock is seemingly returning back to normal, or else I would have to deal with waking up in the middle of the night again LOL.

I won't say what I've been
up to nowadays YET, but you guys might or might not know soon hahhaha we'll see! Anyway, since I got up this morning, I've packed my room, done my laundry, edited some pictures, fed my qt furball and guess what else I did? I actually played AuditionSEA HAHAHHA OMG. Super old school, I know!

I'm not sure if most of
you know what is it, but it's this online dance game, I've been playing it since I was P6 but I've stopped playing for years now. But recently, not sure why, I've been heading to this LAN shop that I frequent in the past with my friend! I kinda enjoyed it honestly. It reminded me of how carefree those days were and.... It's really just kinda relaxing! So I told my friend, Justin, "Who knows ah, maybe this is our leisure activity again"

'Again' because - My friend Justin,
is actually my 'couple' in the game AuditionSEA since 2010, whom is also my ex and hence we've been heading to LAN shops to play this online game back then! Also, that's almost what we did in the past most of the time and we really had fun. Not that we can go back to having that kind of lifestyle again but well, at least, once in awhile haha. 

Anyway, so I was talking about this AuditionSEA
online game thing. Which led me to my old blog (which is now set on private), I used to update my old blog every single day since 2008 and I just logged in again and guess what I saw below my old blog's bio ...... THIS: 

HAHHAHAHAH FML DON'T JUDGE! I just screen shot this from my old blog to show you guys my AuditionSEA's character.

Yea, this online game was
so involved in my life such that, it was even part of my old blog's bio. My level in the game now is 40 btw. #justsaying HAHAHHA. So back in 2008/9 I've not met Justin who's my first legit bf hahahha omg so much memories!!!! Oh ya I was also contemplating if I should also provide an SS to show you guys my old blog's bio and whoaaaaaaaaa NO WAY AM I GONNA SHOW YOU GUYS RIGHT NOW. It's so funny hahahhaha you wouldn't imagine what I wrote in my old blog's bio O_O

But yea as I was saying,
because I've been contacting Justin again, we somehow went back to playing AuditionSEA at this LAN shop that we used to frequent when we have absolutely nothing to do/pass time/leisure lolol. So just sharing!!!! Can you imagine, I was playing this game when I was supposed to study for my PSLE? Which explains maybe why my PSLE score is only 199 lol. High enough for me already la HAHAHA. 

I know this game thing is really boring,
but it was such a huge part of my life.... I played that game every single day of my life for YEARS. I even spent hundred of dollars in this game for virtual clothes or what not lolol. I even met people through this game whom I still keep in contact with today, I also got myself into trouble a few times with the people in the game lol.... 

Anyway, since it's only 2 plus now 
and I'm only meeting Justin for dinner at 6, I thought I would just blog about good food!!!! I tried this awesome cake from MA MAISON, Bugis + that day and whoaaaaaaaaaaa love it!! 



It's not exactly like a cake-cake,
meaning it's not like sponge cake or anything, or rather it's like apple crumble based or tart-based kind of. But I still absolutely love it! The cream and the strawberries, wah! Heaven LOL. The strawberries are all so sweet and juicy or maybe because I just love strawberries that's why I like it so much. It cost me $8.50, if I didn't remember wrongly! ^^ 

Oh yes btw, I remembered
I was fucking pissed off at one point while I was eating this cake because I read this comment that says I shouldn't be wearing crop tops because I'm FAT. LOL. Anyway I've no idea who's that retard since it's anonymous. LOL, really I'm fat?? SO MEAN LOR. My sadness only lasted like 3 seconds max and the rest of day I was just thinking WHY would someone say I'm fat. I'm not trying to be thick skin but seriously I'm only 34-38kg max lol. 







Moving on~
On the day where I was wearing this above OOTD, I headed to SSC for dinner and settled for this restaurant called Wanchai HK Tea Room, a bit similar to HK cafe I would say, but I swear I tried the right drink. THIS DRINK TASTES SO DAMN GOOD:

The mango whatever drink(can't remember what it's called I'm sorry t_t)




FUCKING GOOD. That's all I can say.



What retards do. HAHAHA kidding. No idea what he was doing, I've a habit of bringing 2 camera lens out that's why lol





This wanton noodle not bad!!!!
Initially when Justin suggested to me that I order the wanton noodle, I still said, "huh then I might as well just go food court eat." LOL. I take back my words!!! It's really not bad, basic veggies with FIVE big fat wanton HAHHAHA. The wanton smells damn good I suspect got pork oil inside hahahha.

I didn't finish everything though.
Not that it's not good but maybe just maybe, I starved the whole day and hence I couldn't finish it at once OR the serving is just really huge. But according to Justin, the serving is just really huge la hahaha. Suddenly I realized I don't have much to blog about already, anyway so I was browsing through my playlist and I was listening to Lorde's music.... 

Am I the only one who's shocked that Lorde is only 17 years old, born 1996? 

Absolutely no offense but,
when I first watched her MV, I think Royals, I thought she looked so.... mature. Like she was in her mid twenties! But I checked out her Instagram afterwards and I realized she does look pretty young in some of her pictures! Haha my bad. 

Anyway, I'm ending this blog post with
old pictures of Justin and I (in 2010) compared to nowwww, don't laugh!

AHHAHAHHAHA WHAT IS THIS YOU TELL ME.
Look at how we were back then in 2010 and.... wtf we were holding hands HAHAHA. I remember I wasn't his gf yet at that point of time. Anyway, this is us, now at 2014 after 4 years LOL: 

Hahahha ok it's really good to just
 share random facts with you guys on my blog every now and then (:
Can't wait to go IKEA and have meatballs later!!!!! Anyway I love you all *:
