I finally got to eat at FBB!! Every time I've tried to eat there, there were always no available seats. I've been dying to try their red velvet cake but they didn't have it on Sunday!!! Omg :( Their main courses are ok-priced, most are in the $10-$20 range though some dishes exceed $20. But their cakes are quite pricey, in the $7-$10 for a slice range. But the portions are quite big so I guess it's reasonable, especially compared to other café-restaurants like Pique Nique which sell a relatively smaller slice of red velvet cake for $8.50.
Spiced Apple Cider Pancakes ($10.50) ..... Ok that's quite expensive for just a stack of pancakes
Some pot pie, can't remember which haha
I think this is the Fab Onion Tart..
Xmas special sandwich in the background and Eden Sandwich in the foreground. They come with cassava chips, which are really nice (and healthier)
CAKES!! We ordered Blueberry Lemon Yogurt cake and Bitter Marmalade cake. The latter was too bitter for me haha so I just stuck to my blueberry one. Super sad they didn't have red velvet! The chef/owner also let me try a little of the lemon meringue tart, which he says is the best, and it's definitely a must-try too!
20 January, Monday
Went out with Belinda for brunch (which became lunch because Bel forgot we were meeting up haha) While I was waiting for her, I decided to try and find the café that we wanted to eat at. I walked super far in the hot sun only to realise that the address provided by google was wrong and the café was just outside the MRT!!! Darn google :( We had lunch at Café Salivation, which is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, since Bel has decided to become vegan. The food there was good and not pricey, but the penne ariabatta that I had was super duper unexpectedly spicy :O Bel and I had the set lunch and I was really impressed by the salad, the dressing was really really good, and I'm not even a dressing kind of person (I prefer to eat salads without dressing).

After lunch we went to Kinokuniya at Takashimaya because Bel had vouchers. But in the end we didn't end up spending anything because it was so overwhelming! Like there were so many books and she couldn't decide haha. Then I had to go to work, and Bel went to watch a movie. It was a good afternoon spent just talking to and spending time with Bel :) I'm so glad that the holidays gives us the luxury of time to meet up, especially outside of school! :)
