X and I wanted to treat ourselves a good angmoh western breakfast my lovely fluffy pancakes and omelette before our exam starts! But where to find a place along Rangoon Road that serve angmoh breakfast at 9am? Oh... and NoMcDonald's, please! So our journey begins...
Intend to go back to a cafe that we went for dessert before but they are only open at 9.30am! Damnn! We are 30mins earlier. When we are going to give up our search and walk to Pek Kio Market, we notice this café.
We were really worried that it will not open so early because it is a Café + Bar. When we walked over, we are glad that we are not the only early bird. There are another couple already having their breakfast.
The staff was super attentive. The moment we reach their door, they are already pulling the door open and greeting us! When they hand me their menu, I am attracted to Breakfast page!
This is what we ordered.
Ricotta Pancake with Caramelised Banana, Strawberries and Blueberries.
When we ordered this, the waitress highlighted to us that the pancake is super big and enough to share for two person. Boy, look at the thickness of the pancake ↓ ,we compared them with the knife that was slashing them! So damn thick and fluffy! I am in love with the pancake. The fruits on the other hand wasn't that fresh or sweet. Lemon zested mascaropone the yellow foam thing at the bottom left taste like soda and not to my liking. =X It is okay, the pancake is supposed to be the star anyway!
Omelette.
Bacon, mushroom, ham or smoked salmon. You can choose any two! My choices is mushroom and smoked salmon, just look how stuffed it is ↓. You see the salmonssss that are swimming in the omelette! I love everything on this plate!
Will we come back again?
Of course, we will! I mean where got any other café that served stuffed omelette and super fluffy pancake. Just blogging about it makes me drool.

How to get there?
Alight at Farrer Park MRT's Exit B, and..
I don't know how to describe. Please see the map attached below :) Enjoy your meal~
During March about 1 week+ before Auntie 'M' visits, I subscribed to Blissy Box (6 month package). Till date, I have received 2 boxes and I think it is time for a review!
So what is Blissy Box?
Ripped from their website," to deliver just what a woman needs when she needs it and make "that time of month" blissful. Something to look forward too."
Ladies and char bo/s out there, you all know that every month, whenever Auntie 'M' visits, she bring along her children like acne, 1001 problems with the stomach like bloating, constipation, or diarrhea, body aches, mood swings and etc. In short, we created a group and named them 'PMS'.
Blissy Box is like a grabbag/box with item you need to prepare yourself for menses/period. It is supposed to make us feel better and won't dread it as much during Auntie 'M''s visit. You get your sanitary pads/tampons THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE BOX, snacks and maybe facial products like masks.
How I find them and what interests me?
Was searching online for any shops that sells sanitary pads because I am too lazy to go Chinatown to get them. I know I am very lazy la! But that's how I met Blissy Box. It was a love at first sight moment, Actually, I fall in love with the pouches(the gold and mint colour one ↓) they were giving out! I know it is very random, but sometime Auntie 'M' makes me buy a lot of things impulsively. Ladies, you know the feeling right.
So let's walk through the subscribing process together.
Step 1:
Intend to just get the 'Pads Only' plan, but I won't have the chance to get the pouches I like. Me die die also want the pouch. So for the pouches, I signed up for the 'Duchess Regular' plan. As a paying customer, I am worried that my box won't be the same as those sponsored bloggers or I might regret subscribing to the plan impulsively for the pouches.
Step 2:
I only use pads and liners from Kotex as they are the only few brand that doesn't make my down south suffer even more during the visit.
Step 3:
This is my actual date of my last period. and yes, I do monitor them using app in my phone :)
BOX 1 (For March)
YEAH!!!! This is my 1st box. The stickers are my own :)
The inside! Hello there,my gold pouch~
Burpppppp Top row shows all the snacks that they give. Hmmm.. To be honest, I saw some bloggers that received 'Lady Light' have more snacks than me. :( But it is okay, they give Nutella snacks!
Bottom row Really kind of Anna (the girl behind Blissy Box), I have highlighted to her that I have sensitive skin and she include a soothing mask for sensitive skin from innisfree. Two thumbs up for making an effort to understand and know their customer's condition and expectation.
BOX 2 (For April)
Lai liao lai liao! It is here.
This box comes with a handwritten note from Anna! So sweet la~
The inside and it comes with my favourite Pepero flavour!
Top the snacks and sanitary pads pouch.
Bottom Again, the most important stuff in the box.
Conclusion
It is too early for me to decide whether will I continue this box, as the price is slightly steep. But I am impressed by their customer service. The subscription (website) is super user-friendly. When they mailed out your box, they will send you a text and inform you. You can even change the brand and type of pads just via text messages. Anna will even take note of your personal request. This kind of customer service is really hard to find.
Will update my blog after I receive the 3rd and 4th box. Now a short video to make us glad that menses are not a person ;)
