tai tai day @ hediard

it’s friday the 13th and phyllis & i are determined to have a fun tai-tai day again.
this time round, phyllis intro-ed this french boutique cafe Hediard beside tanglin mall.

it’s a really small cafe with only about 8 to 10 tables. the entire cafe is filled with a warm ambience of red colours. i love the place – its coziness and a bit of country style setting…

when we sat down and were presented the menu, i was at a loss….
firstly, the menu was mainly in french – or maybe they were in english, but i couldn’t make out what they really mean – things like tartine, croque…
secondly, the ala-carte prices are… well a little steep. thank god for set lunches @ $29.xx nett (weekdays only)

ok ok… picture time!

the presents are belated throw in (and throw-ins to the throw-in) xmas presents.

the cute tall milk glass has a story behind it.
when we were doing our xmas shopping together last year, and was at taka looking at glasses (for her colleague), i mentioned i will love to have milk glasses cos they look so pro… so this thoughtful phyllis kept that comment in mind and bought the really cute milk glass with many little lambs for me.

only to have me tell her: “aye… i’m lactose intolerant and dun drink milk anymore”. wahaha… she rolled her eyes…

still, i love the present! i’ll make it a breakfast glass ok (orange juice, apple juice, soya milk, etc)

here’s the food! ALL of them taste GREAT!

the set also comes with red/white/rose wine, blended tea or coffee. so i chose rose wine (cos i’ve never tasted it before) and the waiter said: “sorry, we ran out of rose wine”. DUH! so i chose blended tea…

and so we carried on with our girly gossips and what not, leisurely finished the food, asked for the bill and left…

it was only when we were near borders that i suddenly exclaimed: “where’s my blended tea?!”
they didn’t serve me my tea! sigh…

and here’s the debut appearance of the mysterious phyllis – my dear friend of 12 years!!! thanks for bringing me to nice and atas places!

the place is nice, food is nice, but i can tell you, the service cannot match up to its image. what a waste.
still, i’ll head back there again and introduce to all my friends. i want to try their breakfast set some day!

after lunch we went shopping for a v-day present for dearest. it was… difficult. but in the end i managed to buy something from agnes b (something small & not so expensive)

it was one of the more successful outings that we’ve had. in the past, i run out of stamina really fast and will start to complain that i’m tired after a few hours. but this time, we walked quite a fair bit with me carrying quite a bit of weight… and i didn’t complain much. truly enjoyed the day…

when’s the next tai tai day going to be???
