Nana's Green Tea in Plaza Singapura

-
On days where I'm really busy at work and I feel like my brain has been drained from all that thinking, I look forward to going home and enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal by my talented hubby or should we decide to eat out, I'll ask that we go to one of our favorite restaurants instead. Yup, for someone who loves trying something new, there are just days where I would go for something familiar, something tried, tested and loved over and over again. These are where I can find my comfort food.

To me, comfort food means a plate of pasta, some hand-rolled sushi or a warm bowl of mushroom soup. One evening, Paul and I met up with cousin J and we decided to dine at Nana's Green Tea in Plaza Singapura -- a modern cafe that specializes in..you guessed it!...green tea!

So, I just had to try their Iced Matcha Latte which was delicious! It immediately reminded me of my friends Jin and Leslie who are big fans of matcha green tea! I made a mental note to take them here when they come to visit me hopefully soon *ahem*.

For dinner, I ordered a bowl of Chirashi Don as I was craving for some fresh sashimi and Japanese rice. Something simple but really delicious and fresh. Note though that I'm very picky where I get fresh sashimi as I don't want to run the risk of having a bad tummy ache or worst, having amoebiasis back again. Do be careful too as getting sick because of bad quality food can be a bummer. Nana's Green Tea seems pretty safe and clean that's why I bravely ordered something raw. You can also see from the color of the salmon and tuna above how fresh it was.

Paul got the Katsu Curry Don which he happily inhaled so quickly! He must be hungry or it was really delicious or maybe even both! Well, he's a big fan of Japanese curry so I wasn't surprised that this was his choice. He said the katsu was very tender inside and perfectly deep-fried crunchy outside while the sauce had a sweet, nutty note that he loves.

Lastly, we also got some Chicken Karaage to share. Not so bad although nothing unique about it too.

Nana's Green Tea is a fun place to hang out in especially for those who loves green tea. I can't wait to go back to try more drink variants as they have a whole menu page for it.

Nana's Green Tea is located at Plaza Singapore, #03-80/82 Orchard Road, Singapore. Call them at 6684-4312

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
