Consideration


My daily dose of enriching quotes that my colleague sends me everyday. 

Today's quote : Being considerate.

After last night's 2.5hrs interview.. I have been feeling so silly and cheated by allowing the boss to mentally challenge myself by lowering my expected salary and furthering the interviewing session.

But that's just how every bosses are, isn't it? They just want to lower their labour costs and get every bit out of their workers. 

I was wrong to not reject too.. I've gotta learn to speak up and protect myself in future cause this truly is a man-eat-man world. 

I hope I won't be like him though, cause it really was an inconsiderate and insensitive gestures displayed last night. 

Oh well.. Lesson learnt the hard way..

One year & 3 months

Finally had a proper date with 🐰BunnyBoi today! :))

Watched R.I.P.D and we both found the movie to be okay-okay & we headed to Vanilla Bar & Cafe for the third time! The food there is really delicious! 

He bought the deal online priced at S$19.90 for a 5 course meal : Soup/salad, appetizer, main course, drink, dessert. It's really worth it! The food tastes good, and the price is even better! :)


Carrot soup for him & salad for her. The carrot soup tasted sweet and sour with a tinge of spice in it whereas the salad seems fresh and I really liked the sesame dressing!

 

Breaded shrimps with tobiko mayo or otherwise known as ebi tempura. I especially liked that the crumbs were crispy and each bite into it is with a crunch!

For him: Wild Mushroom Risotto with chicken. Tried a few spoonfuls of it and boy... I'm not a big fan of risottos due to the stickiness of the rice but this dish won me over! The mushroom cream sauce is really tasty and its not very creamy that you'd stop eating after a few mouthfuls.

For her: Parmesan baked white fish with sautéed potatoes. 2 words: Very niceeeeeeeeeee. I think they used dory fish, as the meat is soft and tender, accompanying it is the layer of Parmesan cheese which just melts into your mouth everytime! It seems like the cheese is only a thin layer but the taste in your mouth is overpowering but in a good, tasty way. :)

Time for desserts! Their very own "dirt cake" which is actually Vanilla ice cream with crushed Oreos.

Overall we enjoyed our monthsary dinner! I wouldn't mind coming here over and over again as their food is above expectations and being a small cafe, we were able to dine with some privacy provided they didn't have alot of guests. Their service were commendable too! Their staffs were warm and friendly and efficient in clearing the table for you after each course. 

Vanilla Bar & Cafe is located at 3 Boon Tat Street.

Time spent with love

Finally met up with BunnyBoi now that my exam is over! Had a really cheap Japanese dinner around Ubi and I'm glad he liked it! :)

 Salmon Don S$3.80 x Chicken Katsu Don S$3.30 - MAD CHEAP RIGHT! Where can you find such pocket-friendly price and tasty Japanese meal?


Visited Teddy today and he really looks more like a ChiHuaHua than a poodle after his haircut! Haha but I like it when his fur all short though! :)
