So I'm gonna try to start a new thing. Every end of the month I will share with you guys my top 5 most played or just discovered music which I thought is …
1. Lissie & Ellie Goulding - Everywhere I Go: Beautiful track with melancholic lyrics.
and i'll fall on my knees
tell me how's the way to be
tell me how's the way to go
tell me all that i should know
and i'll fall on my knees
tell me how's the way to go
tell me how's the way to be
to evoke some empathy
danger will follow me
everywhere i go
angels will call on me
and take me to my home
this tired mind just wants to be led home
and i'll fall on my knees
tell me how's the way to go
tell me how's the way to see
show me all that i could be
and i'll fall on my knees
tell me how's the way to be
tell me how's the way to go
tell me why i feel so low
danger will follow me now
everywhere I go
angels will call on me
and take me to my home
these tired eyes just want to remain closed
i don't see clearly
can't feel nothing
can you hear me
and i'll fall on my knees
and danger will follow me everywhere i go
and angels will call on me
and take me to my home x3
2. Birdy - Skinny Love: another hauntingly beautiful song. plus it's skinny love. not for fatties!
Come on skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right at the moment this order's tall
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning, I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
3. Bat for Lashes - Laura: She reminds me a little of Lana Del Ray. Same vibe. The high notes. Listen.
You say, that they’ve all left you behind
Your heart broken, the party died
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again?
When your smile is so wide and
your heels are so high
You can’t cry, get your glad rags on
And let’s sing along
To that lonely song
you’re the train that crashed my heart
You’re the glitter in the dark
Uh, Laura you’re more than a superstar
And in this horror show
I’ve got to tell you so
Uh Laura you’re more than a superstar
Say that you’re stuck in a pale blue dream
And your tears feel hot on my bed sheets
Drape your arms around me and softly say
Can we dance upon the tables again?
When your smile is so wide
Your heels are so high
You can’t cry but you’re glad
rags on and let’s sing along
To that lonely song
You’re the train that crashed my heart
You’re the glitter in the dark
Uh, Laura you’re more than a superstar
You’ll be famous for longer then them
Your name is tattooed on every boy’s skin
Uh, Laura you’re more than a superstar
you’re the train that crashed my heart
You’re the glitter in the dark
Uh, Laura you’re more than a suṗerstar
And in this old horror show
I’ve got to let you know
Uh Laura you’re more than a superstar
5. Iyeoka - Simply Falling: Amy Winehouse meets Sade
There goes my heart again
All of this time I thought we were pretending
Nothing looks the same when your eyes are open
Now you're playing these games to keep my heartbeat spinning
You show me love, you show me love
You show me everything my heart is capable of
You reshape me like butterfly origami
You have broken into my heart
This time i feel the blues have departed
Nothing can keep me away from this feeling
I know i am simply falling for you
I'm taking time to envision where your heart is
And justify why you're gone for the moment
I tumble sometimes, looking for sunshine
And you know this is right when you look into my eyes
You show me love, you show me love
You show me everything my heart is capable of
And now I can't break away from this fire that we started
There my heart goes again
In your arms I'm falling deeper
And there's nothing to break me away from this

Was kindly invited by Adobo! to do a food review last week. I was intrigued - I've never had Filipino food before (or perhaps just once long ago), and wh…

Another tze char place this time. I am on a roll! Other than small indie cafes and brunches, my other love is for good ol' tze char. It is so Singaporean…
I must say, I am very impressed! It is all back to basics of our Singaporean food roots with the revamp this time round and they have decorated it with all types of vintage items from our past which gives it a really nostalgic flavour and makes it distinctly Singaporean, even if some of the stalls in there hail from different countries and serve other cuisines. It is after all our heritage to have a mishmash of everything.
There is a total of 23 stalls, 3 mini restaurants and 1 kiosk. How's that for spoilt for choice? I need to eat at this food court whenever I am in town next time and not bother thinking about restaurants.
Well on Thursday we tried a total of get this - 7 stalls and 15 dishes. Wow! I'm going to give you a lowdown on all of them so you know what to try if you are there next time. Hope this will help.
Koh Grill & Sushi Bar
One of the mini restaurants in the food court, it serves up Japanese cuisine and has it's own seating corner.
1) Carpaccio - $18.00
Indonesian Padang
1) Nasi Kuning - $7.20
2) Ayam Merah Set B (1 Meat + 1 Vegetable + Rice) - $5.50
Odeon Beef Noodle
The famous Odeon Beef Noodle! Replacing the old tenant, apparently Odeon is a tradition on its own.
1) Beef Noodle Dry 牛肉面(干) - $5.00
2) Beef Organ Set 牛杂面 - $7.00
Thye Hong
The famous Thye Hong remains in the new line up as one of the star attractions of the Food Court. I remember when it first opened, it caused such a sensation when people were queuing for it every day! Till date they are still queues.
(1) Char Kway Teow - $4.50/ $6.50/ $8.50
Very classic Char Kway Teow did not disappoint. It was still as good and on the plus side, not very unhealthy compared to the even more delicious one at Tanjong Pagar Market that used probably loads of lard. This is the "healthier choice".
(2) Fried Prawn Noodle - $5.20/ $7.20/ $9.20
Hyangtogol Korean
1) Bulgogi Marinated BBQ Beef - $7.50
2) Samgetang Ginseng Chicken Soup - $18.00
Lor 1 Fish Soup
1) Sour & Spicy Soup in Mini Steamboat 酸辣汤小火锅 - $6.00
Ice Shop
1) Chendol 珍多. - $2.80
2) Grass Jelly Black Longan 黑龙眼仙草冰 - $2.80
Lastly the chendol and grass jelly with black longan. We actually started with these first, which is really odd, but I don't mind (desserts is always good). However, quality wise I think they are really average and nothing to shout about. The chendol also paled in comparison to the one from 112 Katong Mall that came in a cup and very filled with gula melaka and chendol!
I know where I am going to eat next time I am at Orchard. For a shopping district the food choices in town and rather dismal - until Wisma Food Republic reopened! I would go for the beef noodles and shiok maki (if I am feeling rich).
Food Republic
Wisma Atria Level 4, 435 Orchard Road, Singapore 238877
Monday – Thursday, Sunday, Public Holiday 10am – 10pm
Friday, Saturday, Eve of Public Holiday: 10am-11pm
Once again I had the fortune to try out the food from my favorite food court chain in Singapore - Food Republic! This time round it is because the 26,000 sq f…
