World Food Expo 2011: The one where we nearly stole a cake

World Food Expo 2011

We were so excited seeing all the industrial food-making equipment people thought we were restauranteurs or something. Nah, just cooking geeks. Which was why we came to the World Food Expo at the World Trade Center (it was held in two venues, actually, the second being the SMEX convention center, but we didn’t have time to drop by there yet).

There was an ambulance on standby outside in front of the building. Which made total sense to me, as this was an Extreme Food Adventure, and not for the faint of heart. I approve.

Subspace and coffee floats

So this post is a bit late. *sheepish*

A few weeks ago, Wilmer had his post-birthday party at his as-yet not-open-for-business Subspace Coffee House on Emerald Ave, on the corner of Garnet. It was my first time to see the place fully furnished, and with actual coffee-making going on. The four baristas were in attendance, and we had coffee and cupcakes — but for free!

Mmm, cupcakes.

The first coffee I had was the sweet purple potato latte. Of course I was an idiot and forgot to take a shot of it with the cover off, to show its purple-y goodness.

The Singapore brunch bunch

Finally recovered a bit from the Korean Music Wave concert last Friday night (nothing like standing in the moshpit for 5 hours to remind yourself that you’re no longer a spring chicken, and that maybe you need to go back to hitting the gym) to have brunch at Epicurious at Robertson Walk on Sunday. I had the Full Monty, below, which included beans, bacon, sausage, eggs, mushrooms and toast, and was served with fresh orange juice and coffee.

D had the breakfast burrito. Will try that next time.

Breakfast Burrito

Met some lovely new people who had brunch with us: D’s friends who used to live in Sing and are also visiting for the weekend. (That’s me on the left.)

The brunch bunch

Epicurious was apparently a really popular brunch place, because it had a sign that said you could only have your table for an hour and a half, and by 11.30, the place was packed. When we got there at 10.30, there were something like three unoccupied tables. It was along the river — I forgot to take a photo, sorry — and other than the people there for brunch, there were also some joggers and people riding scooters and bikes with their kids. Perfect brunch place, except D and I kept squinting because we forgot our sunglasses.

Goodbye, Singapore! Will come back as soon as D is willing to put up with me in her flat again. LOL.

Yellow Cab: Tribeca mushroom pizza

So, I had my first slice when the delivery guy brought it in, all hot and fresh from the oven (the pizza, not the guy). I didn’t think it was that good. Then I popped the rest (no way I could eat an entire 14″ pizza all by myself, despite what you’ve heard) in the ref, and later heated up another slice and ate it. It tasted better, for some reason.

I froze the rest. The next day, I heated up another slice and ate it. Fantastic. Tribeca mushroom, you are a weird pizza.
