Picturenaries : The Third

Truffle Benedict, Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters, Singapore, Upper Thomson

Part 2// 

Flipping the menu, this one item caught our attention. I've seen these two words separately countless times in almost every café which serves a brunch menu. The first word - Truffle and the second - Benedict.

Truffle fries or Truffle pasta, it's something that we all know and Eggs Benedict, something that we are familiar with too. But this, it's new, it's something that I've never come across before - Truffle Benedict. Wait what, Truffle Benedict? Surely enough, we ordered a set and waited for its taste to either surprise us or disappoint us.

It arrived. Slowly, I cut the crisp bread while hearing the tingling noise as other diners' forks and knives clashed with one another. The golden-brown toast was perfectly toasted. As the knife dove in to burst that poached egg, the yellowish egg yolk started flowing, showing a contrast with the faded-yellow truffle hollandaise sauce.

It didn't disappoint. The taste of truffle overwhelmed my entire bite due to the truffle hollandaise sauce, even in the presence of the ham. When I felt that I had enough, we moved on to exchanging our food items.

A brunch affair.

Picturenaries : The Second

Signature Breakfast, Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters, Singapore, Upper Thomson

Part 1//
We walked into the new kid on the block. White, clean interior greeted us with cute items on the shelves for sale. With delight, we asked a table for two and scanned through the menu.

We ordered two items from the brunch menu, as well as two drinks; coffee - definitely a necessity! As soon as our drinks arrived, we were being shifted further away from the entrance due to the lack of space. It was not a problem for me, except for the warm lighting that bothered me for a couple or two seconds.

Within minutes, the food was served. Bet you guys didn't know, but I can be quite shy at taking photos at times, especially when there's a crowd. Hence, I shyly tooked quick snaps of my food which explains the unsatisfactory quality of it.

Here it is - their Signature Breakfast. A Multigrain Toast, Blackcurrant Jam , Scrambled Eggs, a Sausage, a Hashbrown, Bacon, half a Roasted Tomato, Mushrooms and some greens. What a brunch at Pacamara Boutique Coffee Roasters.

Picurenaries : The First

↑ only// Great Ocean Road 🌊 , Melbourne, VIC

I got down the bus and stared at this sign for a couple of minutes while the other tourists rushed down to the beach. Upwards only -- or we can interpret it as one-way only. Life is a one-way ticket to somewhere we wouldn't know; there's absolutely no turning back. The future is ours to decide and the past is not for us to dwell on. It hit me that we will not succeed or enjoy the future completely if we refuse to let go of the past. Look up and move forward, your future is brighter than what you think. Don't look back, just work your way up towards your future.

Picturenaries : Introduction

Hey guys! I apologise for not posting for a long time, but this sudden though hit me when I was travelling on Melbourne's Great Ocean Road ((perhaps I was too bored and my mind started to wander about)) but I would like to introduce this to you - Picturenaries. I've hit Google up and it isn't a legit word - totally. This word just popped up in my mind as if it dropped from the sky HAHAHA okay I admit I'm weird. Let's get straight to the point.

Pictionaries, or Pictionary (singular) is a photo with a story as it's caption or perhaps even a poem. I admit that my vocabulary is pretty limited, but I do hope it will improve as my "Pictionaries" journey goes along! As the saying goes, "A photo speaks a thousand words." I believe all of us are capable of creating stories or poems out of photos hence I wanna try this! Are you guys ready for the first Picturenary? 

I will be creating an Instagram account (@picturenaries) to post full-length photos as I am someone with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder hence am unwilling to ruin my squared-photos feed! Feel free to hashtag #htpicturenaries to share your photos and stories or beautiful captions with me! In addition, the #htpicturenaries series would be more towards gloomy photos which might, I emphasise on the word MIGHT leave you to pause and ponder about life ((as this is how I feel towards some photos)) while photos on my personal Instagram account (@tripleshaiting) is more of the brighter and positive side, whereby both photos can show that perspective makes a huge difference when compared together.

All photos are taken by yours truly unless stated ((which is if I feature any of yours when any of you email me yours!)) I hope you guys will like this #htpicurenaries series and do remember to tag me in any photos or email picturenaries@gmail.com if you want to share your own Pictionary with me! Enjoy!
