Garsons PYO Farm, Surrey

It was a fine Saturday morning when me and my friend decided that we should visit the PYO Farm. I did some research and found that Garsons is one of the largest farm in UK. It is only 30minutes by train from Waterloo station! However, it is still difficult to get to the farm without a car. It was a 45minutes walk from Esher train station! When we arrived, we realised that we are the only ones walking. Everyone were conveniently driving around the farm (It is so huge), to the crop station to pick fruits, vegetables and flowers! We were so exhausted!! But, WE HAD FUN!

My main motive to visit this farm is for the sunflowers! But, I guess the season is almost over. All the sunflowers were dying. So disappointing!

Blackberries!

There were so many different types of apples in this farm! Love the smell of it!

 My favourite are always BERRIES!

If you have a car, why not spend a day in Garsons Farm before Summer ends! You can pick your own fruits till the end of October! Check out their crop calendar for what is available now! Garsons opens from 9am-5pm daily (till 6pm on weekends). 

Enjoy summer while it is here!

Portobello Road Market

On friday, one of my friend from Singapore arrived in London so I decided to bring her around Portobello Road Market after our Brunch at Muffin Man, which has the BEST SCONES. The last time I went to Portobello market was horrid! It was pouring and the stalls start to pack when we arrived! Thankfully the weather was pretty great this time!

Portobello Market is one of the best markets in London, you definitely have to check it out! It is a short walk from Notting Hill Gate station which runs on the District and Circle Line. If you want to get nice antiques stuff, it is best to visit them on Saturdays as antiques and bric-a-brac stalls only opens on Saturday.

Loving the colours!!

Portobello Road literally has everything! You can find many vintage items here if you are a fan!

Loving these little tea sets!

Im so tempted to get some eclairs and beliner which were going at £1 each because the market is coming to an end! They were huge!! Definitely try them next time!!

Pretty flowers. Spring at its best!

Market opening times

09:00 – 18:00 Monday To Wednesday
09:00 – 13:00 Thursday
09:00 – 19:00 Friday and saturday.

Pretty girl brought me Chillicrab and fish soup ramen from Singapore!! Thanks JP! 

Singapore Day 2014, London

Last week, Singapore Day 2014 was held at Victoria Park in London! It is basically a reunion for Singaporeans in Europe/UK! I was quite surprised that we all Singaporeans are indeed enthusiastic! There are close to 9,000 people attended. Some of them even flew all the way to London for this day! It was amazing, despite the long queues to get some local food that we all miss so much! The best part is, everything is FREE? Its a no brainer.

Each of us received a picnic mat, a bottle of water, some heat pack ( if bad weather approaches) , wet tissues, and an umbrella! The overseas singaporean unit is really thoughtful !



Presenting you the best of the day, SAMBAL STINGRAY! Look how generous the portion is! Everyone got a piece each! I think it probably cost $10 for 2 pieces in Singapore!

Hainan Chicken rice which I didn get to eat because the queue was way too long!

And yeah, 1 chicken wing for a 30mins queue! Its worth it, they should sell the chilli, its too good! I can never find it in London :(

Lovely weather at Victoria Park ! Everyone is indulging with all the food they've got. Singapore still has the best food, BEST.

There were so many things going on but sorry for the lack of photos! I just couldn't stop eating and I have no hands for my camera :( Im so happy that I met my primary school friend, Cally at the event!!! Oh my, its been more than 8years! Time flies, can't believe it is already my final semester in London. T.T

Cinnamon Kitchen , Anise Bar, Play Holi!

During the meet up last month with the Nuffnang bloggers, we were invited to Cinnamon Kitchen, Anise bar for some cocktails, nibbles and also a cocktail masterclass! All of us are excited once we stepped into Devonshire Square at Liverpool Street! It is just a 2minute walk from the station, you won't get lost! 

Upon arrival, we were served with some nibbles and a unique Bellini! Have you tried a Cinnamon Bellini? It is something that I have never tasted! It was refreshing!

Not to forget the highlight of the day!! Play Holi! (Sorry guys, this is only available till 22March2014) Don't be disappointed that there isn't any Holi game now, you are still able to join great food, amazing cocktails with good company! Anise bar is a really nice place to relax and have drinks :) 

They have everything prepared for us! Literally from head to toe! 

Little photo before the war! Each of us gets to choose 2 colours of our choice!

Within seconds..

Look how amazing we look! Fret not! The powder is made of rice flour, and is completely biodegradable and compostable! We can easily wipe it off with wet tissues provided. I washed my clothes that are stained and they were absolutely washable

We were served with Pom pom, a signature cocktail in Anise Bar! No one can resist it, haven ever tasted something similar! We were taught to eat the cucumber and drink the cocktail. OMG, excellent.

Its thegirlnextshore, the bartender :) 

All the cocktails have its unique taste! I am definitely bringing my friends with me for more! Its such a good place to chill in London, and also a stone throw away from Liverpool Street Station. How convenient! The masterclass is so much fun with the bloggers!
