More Assembly Time

Assembly Coffee is a pretty good place to do work. Sometimes it can get a bit noisy as the place is small but it is small price to pay for a good working place. :) 
Strawberry tea and Granola with Greek Yoghurt
Egg Mayo Croissant
Good food for a busy mind. :)

At Assembly Again

Not the school kind of assembly but the cafe kind of Assembly. :) Visited Assembly Coffee again. :) Wanted to try out its other food items and drinks. The menu is not extensive but it has enough dishes to satisfy the hunger pangs. :)
Iced Chocolate and Latte
More latte art :)
Ham & Cheese Croissant and Carrot Cake
Pulled Pork Sandwich - apple slices added a new twist :) A tad dry though
Scrambled Egg Croissant with Honey Baked Ham - simply delicious!
Inside Assembly before it got crowded
We tried various dishes. My favourites are the scrambled egg croissant and the carrot cake. The eggs were scrambled just nice and the carrot cake is most moist and there are pineapple bits in it! :) The pulled pork sandwich was quite tasty with the apple slices, which gave the sandwich a new twist. However, it was just a tad too dry. Could do with a little bit more sauce. As Assembly is a coffee place, understandably there are a lot more coffee drinks. They do offer other than coffee - chocolate (hot/ iced), freshly squeezed juice and tea. As a tea drinker, I am hoping maybe one day soon, Assembly may just add a tea latte or two into their drinks menu... :)
What I also like about Assembly is that the smell of food doesn't cling to your clothes and hair, unlike in some other similar small cafes. In fact, there is hardly any food smell even though they prepared the dishes onsite, except for the aroma of coffee. :) 
Although it is small, Assembly is an unpretentious and cosy place for a drink, a simple meal, a little catching up with a friend or two (and for working too!).

Assemble at

Assembly, a new cafe in my Botanic Gardens neighbourhood. It is next to Mr Prata and Hatched on Evans Road. It is small but cosy. There are breakfast/ brunch items as well as sandwiches and waffles and of course, coffee and tea. Finally, another cafe to go to other than Food for Thought, Botanic Gardens and Brunetti, Tanglin Mall. :)
Salted Caramel Buttermilk Waffle - delicious!

My Neighbourhood Homework

Juliane had to do a piece of school homework about the flora and fauna in her neighbourhood. Easy peasy. We live right next to Botanic Gardens which has no lack of flora and fauna lol. :)
Here are some of the flora and fauna in our neighbourhood, Botanic Gardens.
I think this is an Asian Water Monitor Lizard (?)
Ok, this is an insect, not fauna lol
Yes, this is an Oriental Pied Hornbill, resting in the trees in our estate
Front gate of Botanic Gardens, literally in our backyard! :)
