The Little Drom Store + Kki (ケーキ) Reopening

Good things are worth the waiting and indeed over the past 8 months, I really misses my favourite cake place and store, Kki + The Little Drom Store. The good news is they are officially reopening today at The School of The Arts (SOTA)with a newer look. I love the spacious calming feel in the new Kki space and with their new launching of Kki Home, you can find their very first Kki Home series of ceramics ware commissioned by ampulets and made in Japan by ceramics-maker Kihara Inc.



As for The Little Drom Store, I must say that I am truly amazed by their new tree house especially the wall that was filled up with so many cute quirky stuffs. Over the past 8 months they have come up with so many locally designed new series and finally with the opening of their brick and mortar shop, drÖmmers can expect exclusive product collaborations with Moomin and UK designer Donna Wilson.

 

  I am so excited and can't wait to eat on my cakes and start some shopping. Head down today if you have time and there is also local artist Celesteanning drawing live on their glass window at 7pm tonight.

Ps: The photos are taken yesterday due to my crowd phobia that developed recently so I am sure it would even be nicer at the shop today.

Nom Nom .... Ladurée Singapore

Hello Ladurée ! If you are a fan of macarons, I am sure there is no need for any introduction . There was already queues forming in the two outlets at Takashimaya, on level one was the stand alone counter for takeaway macarons (*shorter queue) and second level was the main boutique selling not only takeaway macarons but also items ranging from candles, teas, chocolates, jams to books and tote bags etc.

There are more than 16 macaron flavours available and if they are available to pack in gift boxes of 6, 8, 18 or 24. The boxes are so beautifully designed that you will have a hard time deciding and if you are a collectibles fan, it is best to grab their limited edition Singapore box for 8 macarons at $38.

I can still remember on my last trip to Tokyo,  I'll stop by the every night since is just next to the train station and stunned by their window display and seeing how the Laduree staffs was preparing their new shop launch at Shinjuku in the late hours.

Anyway there are less items available here in Singapore but hopefully they can open a tea salon soon. There are more photos here if you want to see more of the stunning boutique. Personally I like the Strawberry Candy Marshmallow and Salted Caramel but the rest are all not too bad either. Which is the best flavours all depend on individual but if you have a sweet tooth like me, then is best to try as many as possible.

Nom Nom .... MakiSan

The idea of been able to design my own sushi roll and salad in MakiSan is really one of the more interesting concept in the F&B here. Though the interior is pretty simple but the vibrant colors and the quirky illustrations hung on walls makes the shop looks cheery and happy. Sushi rolls are served in the five different sushi packaging and I resisted hard not to collect them. I didn't collect all the packaging though, 5 sushi rolls are just too much for me, the folk there actually gave me all five designs of the business card instead :D I've found a video about their website here but somehow till now I still can't go into their website.
There's just too many ingredients for selection and if you are not that adventurous or just plain lazy, that is always their signature sushi roll - California Dreaming, Keep On Shrimpin' for a safer choice.

Nom Nom .... Skinny Pizza

Finally this is a date with Jestine after fixing our busy schedule. I'm not alone anymore, sometimes I wonder if I've already gotten used to be alone. Alone wandering isn't a bad idea but sometimes good times with old friend is such a joy especially catching up with recent gossips. I was always attracted by Skinny Pizza when I past by and this time we decided to give it a try.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We ordered The English Breakfast and my mouth is overwhelmed by the deliciousness, super thin crust and the toppings are basically those I've ate during brunch but now are all on a pizza. I had to admit just one pizza is not enough therefore we ended ordering a portion of Mushroom Risotto which we think should have stick to ordering pizza instead. Skinny Pizza's signature is Squid Ink pizza and I am looking forward to my next visit. Try for yourself if you are a pizza lover that loves crispy think crust !

A moment I crave for

This is not a place I am recommending despite many times of visiting. You may ask me why then I still kept visiting, the reason is simple, I craved for a moment to enjoy tranquil in between my time in town. What to do, I need a break between shopping :)
