National Orchid Garden

The National Orchid Garden at the Singapore Botanic Gardens is a pretty little garden with lots of different kinds of orchids.

I love the bright cheery colours of the orchids, especially the purple ones.

I'd let the pictures do the talking for this post.

Enjoy!

Everything with Fries

Everything with Fries is a restaurant owned by the people who own Awfully Chocolate. The food is pretty good - I like the tandoori chicken sandwich I had very much.

But the restaurant's main star is fries and I must say their fries is delicious. I like the thinner shoe-string version better. The fries come in a variety of flavours - original, curry, salt and vinegar, sour-cream and onion, plus garlic and herbs.

I really liked the original flavoured fries - they were slightly spicy, slightly salty and I could hardly stop eating them.

This restaurant has a number of branches - I visited the one at Holland Village.

Shopping for Flowers

 

 

I love shopping.. for all kinds of things but shopping for flowers is different from shopping for other things. You are, after all, buying home something that has a life of its own. And so you will have to like how it looks.. and think about whether you are able to take good care of it.

World Farm is my favourite place for buying flowers.

I really enjoyed looking at all the beautiful plants they have at World Farm. For some reason, they grow them very well - the hibiscus, for example, have large beautiful leaves with HUGE flowers. Ms Flamenco used to be one of those beautiful hibiscus plant.. In my balcony now though, she is skinny, with smaller leaves and smaller flowers.

I haven't had too much time lately for gardening, so I decided to bring home just a few new plants.

I like it so much!
