Stateland Cafe in Bali Lane, Singapore

-
For those who have been following me on Instagram, you might have noticed that I would regularly use a certain hashtag called #frannymeday mostly on Saturdays. You see, Paul has work every Saturday which means I am all alone for most part of the day. Normally, I would just spend a couple of hours in the gym, grab a quick bite and run some errands while waiting for him to get off from work. I have to admit though that doing this for a couple of years now, it can get a bit lonely and the wait till his work ends can sometimes feel like forever.

I'm lucky to have a couple of sweet girl friends here in Singapore who willingly offer to be my Saturday date to keep me company. Leading the #squad is my college friend T. She and her husband moved to the Lion City a few years before Paul and I did and we would go out for lunch dates once in a while since our offices are near each other. Lately, she has also been my favorite companion for weekend blog events or just whenever we feel the need to catch up and to enjoy a good meal. I'm so thankful to have T (and her hubby S) here in the Lion City too.

Meet my friend, T :)
A couple of months back, T and I braved the crazy strong Saturday rain to meet up for Afternoon Tea. Thanks to my Sugar App, we discovered Stateland Cafe which is located at the heart of Kampong Glam in Bugis. Stateland Cafe is known for two things -- Red Velvet Waffle and Honey Toast. That afternoon, we went for the latter.

There are two types of Honey Toasts available. The White Honey Toast (S$16) is your regular looking thick toast which is topped with honey yogurt ice cream, fresh berries and honey syrup. However, we're not really the type who would go for the ordinary so we courageously went for the Black Honey Toast (S$16) which comes with a big scoop of pistachio ice cream, lime, basil and strawberries. Sounds much more interesting, don't you agree? I wonder how they were able to make the toast black as it doesn't taste charred at all. I love the sweet hint of honey that I got in every bite and the ice cream perfectly complemented the fruity taste. So yummy!

To go with our toast, I got a pot of Lemongrass Chamomile (S$6) which was just a-okay. I find the tea to be quite bitter and it doesn't have a strong lemongrass nor chamomile flavor. I'm skipping this next time. T seemed to have enjoyed her Hot Chocolate (S$5) more.

Stateland Cafe also has a couple of hot meals such as pasta, risotto and even burgers. I'm not sure if they're good though but I'm looking forward to trying them on my next visit. You can also cross order from its sister restaurant called Brother Bird which specializes in soft-serve ice cream shaped like a .... poopie (heehee).

Stateland Cafe is located at 30 Bali Lane, Singapore. Follow them on Facebook  and on Instagram for more information. Don't forget to download the Sugar app to get great deals and for fun discoveries too!

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...
