Friday Afternoon – Tea and Cheesecakes

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. : )

Flower Power

Ditch the runway baby. From drab to fab, FratPerry puts the original style back in your sartorial consciousness.

You’ve seen it on Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City The Movie. And you’ve also seen Justin wearing all varieties of it on the Colin and Justin’s Home Heist show. Yes – the sweet-smelling efflorescence is the must-have accessory in your wardrobe to go with your top. Here’s the good news for the gents – it’s an incredibly versatile piece of adornment that can go with your jacket, vest or even your polo tee.

You’ve seen almost every bridegroom adorn his jacket with an understated rose on his wedding day. But that is SO 1960s baby. So heterosexual men, there is no excuse now to think that flowers are off-limits for you. Rid that male chauvinism and start embracing a softer touch – that will surely make you a favourite amongst the ladies (think: Sensitive New Age Guy reincarnated). Put on that Hibiscus, Lily, Carnation or even Chrysanthemum – whatever gets you in the mood.

And for the homosexual men out there, it is time to drop that white loafers/ belt look and set an adventurous example to your straight counterparts of just what you are capable of.  If Justin Ryan is proudly parading his posies, there is no reason for you to not already be adorning it. If you like it loud, wear a larger flower or better yet, arrange it with a fern. Be bold. Variety is the spice of life – so if you are tired of that one or two flowers, cluster florets of threes – whoever said three’s a crowd?

It’s really not too difficult to choose a flower that suits you. Think of the flower as an additional accessory to your outfit – so if you are wearing a pink-striped tie with a vest, a fitting match would be an Oriental Lily. So go ahead, have fun and experiment. The rules of colour selection apply as would you would select a fabric – for fair-skinned Asians, opt for warmer hues and the swarthy tanned guys, opt for cooler hues.

If subtlety is what you like best, you don’t necessarily have to always get the flower petals to match your top. The black seeds in many blooming flowers serve as the ultimate master of subtlety that goes with that black t-shirt layered over with your jacket.

So from Oxford Street to Orchard Road, go on and strut the stuff of flowers and let them do the talking today. Here’s a video of Colin and Justin – Showstopping!
