Day off… Nanyang Kopi Part III
Actually, for those of you who have been hanging out with me, you would have heard me complaining loads and loads about work and how I’d rather be working 5 days rather than 4!!
BUT, thank God my wednesdays are off! Really!! Yesterday, I met Chin Hui at Nanyang Good Morning Coffee at Chinatown point!! My 3rd trip there! (: As always, I like the quietness of the place! I can just sit by the window reading or doing Cleansing streams homework! Very conducive! I really miss having such free days, just go out for breakfast alone, read the books given to me, then take a leisurely walk around shopping centres and other, looking for new nice eating places so I can bring people there… Hai.. I really enjoyed yesterday!! (:
Oh did I mention about the homemade Kaya at Nanyang Good Morning the last time? Anyway, it’s definitely not the best-textured kaya, it’s really un-smooth. Nevertheless, that’s what I like about it!! The inconsistent texture in a scoop of kaya, very homestyle! Non-sweet, and in fact, I actually saw tiny bits of egg-white in the kaya! Haha! Doubt it’s intentional, but I like anyway!! Yest I tried the wheat thick-toast kaya (quite like Toastbox), but I still prefer the Orange Ciabatta kaya toast which Chin Hui had! (:
Then the owner (I assume) recognises me!! :S :S :S Haha! How cool is that? It’s only my 3rd trip there, but oh well I feel quite honoured haah! He’s so nice and polite, makes me wanna go back there… ", He offered Hui and I a small box of homemade pineapple tarts.. mmm.. so nice..
THE TARTS WERE GOOD MAN! It’s the closed up kind, but what I like about it is the lack of glazing, so it looks like a peanut sugi cookie from the outside! - i thought it was leh! Hha.. A little almost-perfectly round ball. Until I put it into my mouth.. Mm.. Crumbly, thin, compact crust! The pineapple paste inside is the lighter-coloured coarse-textured variety which I prefer as opposed to the dark brown kinds, cos more often than not, there are more obvious bits of pineapple in those, making it more crunchy! (:
Actually, I would have bought home a box of tarts by now, just that yesterday, I had not enough money.. BUT i will go back to get them b4 CNY! Haha.. $13.50 for a medium-small box I think! Any one want to order? Haha..
: )
