slips & shods

Casually eyed. Lazily heard.

If you ever need a #gachapon fix, this is your lair. #tokyo #vscocam

First time brewing flowering #tea. Not the best, but it's real pretty nonetheless! #flower #igdrink #vscocam

Public Garden at Old Tanjong Pagar Train Station. Still remember when I last took it in 2009, when it was still Malaysian land! #happierhour #train #craft #vscocam

I wish that I could be like the cool kids... Move aside regular Oreo, it's the red carpet for the red velvet Oreos! #cookie #snack #vscocam

Midmorning snack of coffee and Tower Yema from The Philippines. It's made from milk, apparently, and resembles toffee. Not insanely sweet, thankfully, but certainly not doing my diet any favour! #snack #coffee #instafood #vscocam

A little tribute to Ferrero caro, who gave out lives so much joy. #nutella #vscocam

Bought a pot of #hyacinth for #CNY. Just bloomed today with the sweetest of fragrance. Wonder if it'll turn blue, as it's meant to. #flower

Bought my pot of #orchid. A #phalaenopsis to be exact. This might just be the first time I try my hand at a potted #flower. Someone said orchids are relatively easy. So please don't go into shock and die on me, beloved orchidy! #plant #vscocam

Let it not be said I that I'm a coffee guzzler. Had a dainty cup of lotus #tea, at Goethe Institut #Hanoi, of all places, with einem deutschen Typ I met. Delicious. The tea, I meant. Of course. #café #drinks #vscocam

I definitely upped my #café game when I had rum trứng co cao for breakfast. The word that looks suspiciously like rum? That's rum. And loads of it. Total #yum. #drinks #hanoi #vscocam

The comfort #Hanoians have with transport stretches beyond my imagination. Behold this intrepid man casually strolling along the #railway tracks of the Long Bien Bridge. Respect! #bridge #transport #hanoi #vscocam

The traffic in #Hanoi and #Vietnam generally is infamous. Crossing the road often feels like a matter of life an death. But if you have the chance, you must experience piggybacking on a motorcycle. The way they weave through the traffic and groups of friend chat on the go is enough to turn you a whiter shade of pale. #vscocam

A secret #café near Hoan Kiem Lake. It's very popular with locals and only accessible via a dodgy looking back alley, like many of #Hanoi's best destinations, which a friendly kitty calls home. They serve fantastic cà phê trứNg at an unbeatable price. #coffee #drinks #vscocam

Cà phê trứng, or egg #coffee, has got very popular in #Hanoi. It's a shot of vietnamese coffee with a whipped topping of egg yolk and condensed milk. This wasn't the best I had, but the #café boasts a gorgeous view of Hoan Kiem Lake. #instafood #drinks #vscocam
