burger bench bar

after lydia's highly recommended post on b-cube, ev and i decided to give this place a try...

i had the grilled mushroom burger while ev had the cheese onion burger. i must say i was quite impressed with the hearty fillings of the burger! the beef was freshly minced and the burger had so much mushrooms that they were falling off my burger! *yums*

left - mushroom burger, right cheese onion burger

instead of the usual fries on the side of the burger, this place serves homemade crisps - that really tasted homemade (otherwise how is it supposed to taste right?!) ev ordered corn with mixed herbs... i thought it tasted pretty normal, and the corn not cooked enough. ev found it okay though...

the to-die-for food on the menu is the dark chocolate soft serve ice-cream. yes, you heard right. it tasted really rich... and sinful... but so worth the calories :P

1 thing i really like about the place - the serve size, not too big, leaving you enough room for dessert

1 thing i dont like about the place - they only accept cash! which place in orchard only accepts cash?! oh well... but i guess the good food makes up for it... since... its reasonably priced.

ev looking greedy... with her soft serve ice-cream!

lomo very emo

a colleague introduced this iphone app to me... its a camera effect that makes the middle of the screen brighter than the background and makes the background fuzzy...

like this...

it gives pictures an emo look... dont ya think?

it makes me look prettier than in real life :P

music for my soul

bought 2 albums recently and they are constantly playing in my car stereo and my imac and my work computer :P

i really enjoy listening to the music...

one of the albums is by melody gardot. think some of you have heard this name on radio. she was heavily advertised on class95 a couple of weeks back cos she was in town for a performance. anyhow, i was so mesmerised by her one song and it was enough to get me to buy the album..

check out this song - its so soothing and relaxing... and....... ahhhhhhh

gardot has a sad but inspiring story to tell... go google about her background and you will realise what a fighter she is :)

the 2nd album i bought is by olivia ong

this album was a lil' disappointing. i've always been a fan of hers... i really enjoy listening to her chill bossanova singing style... and was especially impressed by her previous album, fall in love with olivia... it had a good mix of chillax songs and some soft rock tunes. so i was really looking forward to more of her songs.

this album however was a little too poppish for my liking. i think its because she was recently signed by another label (HIM) and they changed her style to suit the masses... sigh... there are a few good tunes in this album and her voice is still so enchanting. the video below is one of my favourite from this album. written by dick lee.

these 2 albums will be on my playlist for quite a while :)

*happy*
