Ahhh. Finally, something blogworthy! Complete with pictureworthy food too!
I realise that blogging in the daytime increases the quality of my posts, since I’m not in a rush to finish off at night. I’m not gonna treat blogging here as a chore/duty/obligation! You readers can think what you want okay (if there’re any readers out there at all, ok la I <3 my loyal few!), I’ve decided to look at this as something I owe to myself; if it’s a duty at all, it’s a duty to uphold my passion. (:
So! Here comes the star of today’s post: food for thought
To describe this eatery laconically, fft is a quaint, homely little cafe with good people and good food, all for a good cause. Not that it gives out free food or anything! Hahah. But it does make commendable efforts in helping out not only the local community but the wider one as well, for example by encouraging donations to international well-building projects.
It even comes with attitude! ;D
And for the food (of course)…
I had the grilled sausage duo! To quote from the website:
I chose Chinese chicken caesar salad to complete the set! Here’s a closer look:
You may be wondering, why chinese?? Well, it’s ’cause they used a special concoction of a dressing consisting of dark soya sauce. Unusual, yes. Awful tasting? Definitely not! In fact it was such a pleasure to coat each leaf with as much of the sauce as possible, and then savour the blend of sweet and salty. I loved it so much that I couldn’t resist dipping the bread into it as well!
The only drink on the table was the watermelon-mint freeze. Another interesting combination eh! Despite my dislike for mint, I liked the drink as the mint taste wasn’t overpowering.
Kelly had the basil pesto chicken sandwich:
Strips of oregano pesto chicken breast, oven dried garlic tomatoes, soft roasted eggplant, topped with small watercress salad, with a drizzle of garlic oil lifted with a slice of lime at the side.
I nearly ordered this but decided that I shouldn’t keep trying the safer options hahaha. She didn’t enjoy the salad that came with it though, something to do with the dressing.
Now for DESSERTS! (my favourite part)
This looks interesting, doesn’t it! Red isn’t a colour you see often in cakes. It isn’t called old-fashioned red velvet cake for nothing. Hahah. The layers in between seemed like cream cheese, we weren’t too sure. It was alright, just nothing special about the taste.
MANGO cheesecake! If you don’t already know, I’m enamoured of anything that has to do with mangoes. So naturally I relished this. ;D
This was a unanimous favourite for everyone I should think! PEACH CRUMBLE, topped off with a luscious scoop of vanilla ice cream (in my opinion, the quintessential flavour to go with any dessert!) and drizzled with chocolate sauce. Needless to say, this was sinfully sweet, but not overly so for my sweet tooth! ;D Loved the abundance of peach and raisins in it ((:
Oh dear, I do remember ordering much more than those few desserts. We ate till we were practically too bloated to move. But nevertheless we were satisfied! Some of the other desserts we had: creme brulee, oreo cheesecake and old-school carrot cake. Bet you’re already drooling just reading these names ;D
