28B Harding Road
The cafe was nowhere to be seen till we saw the impalpable signage..
The cafe was settled into the greens..
It looked more like a private cottage house with a modern touch of glass exterior and white cemented frames.
Walking towards the cafe on the woodern pathway, it's easy to fall in love with the place..
The vincinity is a beauty!
And of course,
Given the dining crowd inside, it definitely did not appear that recession has zoomed in.
The ambience was a relaxed one with simple yet delicate efforts on the furnishings.The dining staff were dressed casually in smart black tees, mingling among the crowd with much ease..The diners were mostly Caucasians, and they came with their big families..
Sunlight came streaming through the branches and leaves into the cafe..Endowing a warm glow to the whole locality..
A great hangout place to catch up with friends and of course a good backdrop for some serious photo shoots =p
Our orders seemed to come alive from the comprehensive brunch menu and it took a lot of effort for our famished stomachs to restrain digging in the sumptuous food before some pictures..
The colors, the fragrance, the taste..The food gave immediate sensual satisfaction =DFish Croquette BenedictPortobello StackDouble Chocolate Blackout CakeFlorida Key Lime Pie
K.O. for the rest of the day thereafter..=xI was quite impressed by the fact that they did up the ladies..What is a good dining place without comfortably clean and pretty restrooms..Kudos to the impeccable embellishments =)
When it was time to leave, heavy downpour and thunderstorm came..There was in fact something ominous about the yellow card and the blackout cake..Every cab number on the card could not be reached.And then there was a blackout when the place was struck by lightning..We were, stranded.
On the overall, this fine dining was a good experience..Somewhere really tucked away from the usual bustling city life..

When we finally got to Heerens..The strong voice of the emcee told us that the event was already up and running.The minute we arrived at the centre stage area, the catwalks were in progress..Yes, we saw Don alright. My baby brother strutting on the small circular stage..They had on various styles to model the brands and products of the sponsors..The Outfits
The Stage
The Babes
The Backstage
The whole line up of programs were spiced up by having hot American models on the show who towered over most of the guys..Light hearted music, cheeky models, playful contestants.. Everything fell in place in a casual manner..
TO DON SHUN
You owe us royalties on the pictures!
