We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

Brunch with the gals at the tanglin tree. nestled at nassim road off tanglin road, this is really a hidden gem. it shares the restuarant with the swiss butchery and friven & Co and Singpost! so here we are!
Their actually very limited menu. i was surprised the menu came in crumpled kinda paper but i read that they change their menu every 2 weeks so i guess thats probably the reason why. we visited the cafe on a sunday which turned out to be surprisingly quiet as i've also read that its difficult to get a reservation on saturday! i guess people juz slp in on sunday and skip brekkie altogether?
me n chiew both ordered the strawberry pancake set as i have been craving for macs pancakes for like forever. the pancakes tasted not bad but the maple syrup came in unglam plastic trays.. i was expecting real cups o well. maybe cos while waiting for the rest of the food to come, mine became a little cold so it wasnt as nice as it would have been. i feel that celede have better brunch!
aglio olio that small bell had which she enjoyed! she finished every bit of it. there's the option of either the entree size or the main size of aglio olio, main being the bigger set. but seeing this, i really cant imagine how much smaller can the entree size be.
yu ching's salmon cesar salad! this looks positively yummy! we all thought that the white blob in the middle was a huge piece of cheese, but it turned out that its a poached egg! yu ching is too healthy to be true.
finally joan's tanglin tree set with sasauge, bacon which is kinda hidden by the leaves, bake beans, tomatoes and omelette. this looks yummy too! i <3 omelette and this was recommended by my friend as the most worth it meal, and joan could not finish it! =)
the foodwise though not spectacular, the ambience was great and its really a more family friendly environment! there's a treehouse on the compound which the little tots will approve =)
