Nom Nom .... Chef Yamashita

I know I have been neglecting this space for a while but even say so, if you following me on Instagram, I am sure you will know I am still eating around :)

Chef Yamashita was one that I couldn't miss and I make my way down yesterday with my hectic schedule and squeezed it before my dental appointment (YES! I need tooth extraction). If you have visited Flor Patisserie in Duxton Hill, you would know who is Chef Yamashita.

After Kki was no longer around, this was one cake that I misses the most. I am not a cake person but there are exceptional for Japanese Patisserie cake. Here in Chef Yamashita for their soft opening, you can find the featured new product - luna wraps of sponge cake wrapped with light crème and fresh fruits.

By noon all the mango luna wraps was packed by the Japanese lady that arrived slightly before me. I ordered my favourite Strawberry luna wrap and Mango rare cheese cake and to think I can finished all alone even after a heavy lunch, you can imaging how delectable they are. There is no indoor seating and only small tables outside the shop, be prepared to take away.

Bloesem Class - ABC's of Calligraphy

I have been follow Bloesem blog by Irene Hoofs for quite a while and even though she have opened the little dutch shop in Tiong Bahru estate, I did have the chance to visit. Someday I am so happy when I noticed that they kicked off their very first Bloesem Classes with Calligraphy by Maybelle Imasa-Stukuls, I didn't take long to sign up since I been wanting to learn for the longest time.

The Bloesem creative and retail space was simply awesome, with so many curated selection of products from around the world. I immediately set my eyes on the hand woven pillows, Fine Little Day's  posters, little quotes jar and Skandinavisk scented candles.

We started to class with brief introduction and everyone was given a set of the personalized kit that consists of a bottle of ink, a pointed tip pen, a special Maybelle-designed practise book and my favourite of all have to be the special pen and ink holder made personally by Maybelle's husband.

I love how Maybelle demonstrated the basic strokes / curves, uppercase and lowercase, she make it seems so easy. She was very encouraging and when I found it hard to write letter like "I", "J" and "O" she was very patient to show me again and again. I adore the strokes and curves but I am not too good in controlling my pen. My three hours session passed by so fast and I realized the success of writing good calligraphy is to keep practising and lots of patience.

I hardly get to attend class whereby there are continuous supply of food from cookies to cake to Nasi Lemak lunch and coffee to tea and even prosecco are provided. The class here is fun and relaxing and the best part have to be the supply of yummylicious food and wonderful space.

This was the gorgeous writing by Maybelle and she was kind enough to write for everyone. I have a good class experience and is definitely worth the time and money. Keep up the good job Bloesem and I can't wait to attend Lisette Scheers screen printing class this Sunday to learn the art of screen printing beautiful prints and patterns onto fabric.
