Love is a many-splendoured thing

Happy Friday everybody!

Here’s a new documentary to warm the cockles of your heart as we celebrate the end of the work week:

It’s called Love, Etc. and it follows five couples in New York City for a whole year on their journey in finding and falling in love.

Here’s one of my favourite quotes from the trailer: “I’ve been married 48 years, but it feels like 48 minutes. 48 seconds.”

A true le sigh moment.

If there’s anyone who can write lyrics that paints a pretty picture and tugs at your heartstrings, it’s Brooke Fraser, daughter of former All Black (yes, that rugby team from that country nobody really talks about hehe) Bernie Fraser.

This single off her latest album Flags just makes me want to dance like summer will never end, and like life really is a bed of roses:

It’s Friday afternoon again, thought I’d feature this lovely little hang-out at Ann Siang Hill, ideal for a lazy Sat/Sun afternoon or just one of those afternoons off.

Grab this off this LOVELY blog Sitting Wishing Eating. Wanted to do a post myself, but felt the pictures taken here captured the ambience perfectly.

K-Ki, No 7 Ann Siang Hill

 I’m very bad at names. Pardon me if I have to ask your name twice. Someone told me about “K-ki” but I totally couldn’t remember who told me about this place.

 To my understanding, K-Ki, which meant cakes in Japanese.

 

No. 7 Ann Siang. This is  a stretch of road that I pass by often from my office to Ann Siang Hill. I always secretly hope that someone would take over that shop and change it into food eatery. Well, my secret wish came true. The folks from K-ki and The Little drom shop have used that premises for themselves. 

 

I love their minimalist Japanese interior design. The use of the large glass windows and the spacious interiors, coupled with the wooden furnishing gives the place a cosy and minimalist look.  I’m not an expert in architecture but I love the vibes of the place. It’s good to stop by, grab a drink and have a piece of cake. 

 

Well, the Little Drom Shop have lots of very nice knick-knacks items as well. Do check them out. 

 

K-Ki serves a variety of cakes with names like Antoinette, Café Dumo, Souffle Cheesecake. All their cakes are freshly baked by the owner themselves. Their cakes are slightly pricey ($5-$8) but they tasted pretty good. 

 

I like it that there’s a person/story to share for every piece of cake. 

My instinct tells me that the folks at K-Ki will probably need to have more tables and chairs to cater for more. : )
