July 19th, 2012 by sixpegs

It is another fine day for some cafe-exploring!
A and I had such a busy week and it is such a luxury to be able to take the afternoon off.
Thanks to reader dropletloves, I got to know about this really adorable cafe called Maison Ikkoku.

The walk to the cafe was a really scenic one too – I love this part of Singapore!

Maison Ikkoku is more than just an ordinary cafe.
It resides in this beautiful white shophouse – level 1 is the cafe, level 2 is the boutique and level 3 the bar.
Look at the building, isn’t it gorgeous!

The cafe was really cozy!
I like how old cupboard doors were given a second life and made into tables.
Look at our table, there is a keyhole on it.
This is doing vintage with a modern twist!

The naked bulbs and copper pipes gave the place a slight industrial feel too.
Pretty cool if you ask me!

This place has a huge variety of coffee and from how they display their collection of coffee machines for sale,
you can probably guess that Maison Ikkoku is one place you can count on when you need a good cuppa coffee!

A, being a coffee addict, ordered a cup of her regular iced latte.
It was really good!
I had my Earl Grey tea :)

As for food, they have quite a number of sandwiches for customers to choose from.
We were excited about their All Day Breakfast too!
But we were a little disappointed when we realized those are only for weekends.
Note to self: I have to go back again during the weekends!

We ordered a sandwich each and the food didn’t take too long to come (which was awesome cos we were starving!)
Check out my yummy Norwegian Smoked Salmon and Dill Cream sandwich!

A ordered the Ham and Monterey Jack sandwich made with honey glazed ham,
monterey jack cheese, creamy dijon mayo and baby spinach!

And us being us, we exchanged one side of the sandwich with each other! Heh.

I have to say that I am pleasantly surprised with the standard of the food served.
Ham and cheese sandwich is available everywhere, but not every ham and cheese sandwich tastes good.
(just like Aglio Olio!)
I think the combination of ingredients used in the ham and cheese sandwich was awesome!

The smoked salmon sandwich was good too (this flavour is one of their best sellers).
But I think because I started on the salmon sandwich after the ham and cheese one,
the taste of the former paled in comparison.
So be sure to try the salmon one before you steal your friend’s food the next time you go,
or you will end up with a confused taste palette like me! :p

OK, random photo.
A took this when I was eating.
I didn’t know I look so crazy when I eat.

We also took the chance to explore levels 2 and 3 of the building.
The decor of all 3 levels are in sync and it was really interesting to be able to have all three places in one building.
Check out the boutique!
I heard most of the items here were imported from Japan, they sell mostly men’s wear though.
But girls, do check them out too because a lot of the accessories I saw there were dope!

I LOVE this door! The hinges are in the middle.

OMG DAMN NICE.

Level 3 is the bar.
I was very excited as we were walking up the stairs and I was totally blown away when I first laid eyes on the bar.
The view of the roof of the shophouses and the gorgeous Sultan Mosque was really cute!
Not breathtaking or majestic, but definitely very Singaporean. :)

They have indoor seats at the bar too.

I hope you like Maison Ikkoku as much as I do! <3
Here are some basic information about the cafe so you can find a right time to check them out too.

I’m also here to share some pretty photos I got from Sinsin for her wedding that happened in May!

Lots of love!
Something I didn’t share in my post about Sinsin’s wedding is the few of us actually performed for her wedding.
Hahahaha.

A and I are working on something fun and exciting, so exciting that I’m dying to tell everyone
but I can’t reveal it as of now because I have been sworn to secrecy.

Till then, I will be checking out more places to go, things to eat, stuff to buy!
Have a good day ahead peeps!

Peace xx

A and I has been experimenting with our Aglio Olio recipe for the last couple months.
We tried a few times and I think we have finally perfected our very own Aglio Olio!
And since we are not selfish people and we love to share, here is the recipe for you to try too!

I called it Aileen’s recipe because she invented it! Hahaha.

Other than the usual tomato or cream-base pasta, this is another one of the few common pasta we find in cafes.
This is also my favourite pasta of all time because it’s a healthier choice and it’s so tasty!
But like what many says, the simpler the dish, the harder it is to perfect it.
It is such a simple pasta traditionally made with just olive oil and garlic,
but there are still so many restaurants out there which would screw it up.
This is our rendition of Aglio Olio and I hope you will enjoy it as much as us!

Here are some of the ingredients you need.

Other than the usual garlic and olive oil, we also used thyme, pepper, chilli padi and chicken stock cubes.
We also used angel hair pasta because we think it tasted best prepared Aglio Olio style.

ONE

Chop garlic into thin slices.
It would be great if you could slice them into even thickness so that the frying would be easier,
and you won’t get occasional burnt pieces.

TWO

Simultaneously, you can also prepare the pasta.
Boil them in a pot of water with a cube of chicken stock.
You can also use salt if you prefer.
Cook it to Al Dante – for spaghetti, you can check by looking at the tip of the pasta.
There should be a little white (uncooked) dot in the middle of the spaghetti.
As for angel hair, the pasta is a little too thin so we need to cook “by feel”. Heh!

THREE

Oil the pan with some olive oil.
Do control the heat so that the oil is not sizzling.
Throw in the garlic and stir fry them until they are slightly softer.
Be sure not to fry them until they are too brown if not they will start to taste bitter.

Throw in a cube of chicken stock and fry them together.

FOUR

Throw in the chilli padi and continue stirring.
You can also put in a tablespoonful or two of the water you used to boil the pasta to give it a velvety finish.

FIVE

Throw in the prawns and continue stirring.
We used frozen cooked prawns so it’s easier for us.
If you are using raw prawns, you will have to boil the prawns for a while before frying the prawns.

SIX

Pour olive oil into the pan generously when the frying it almost done.
Stir well and make sure the chicken stock cube is well dissolved.
Also throw in the thyme and pepper to taste.

TIME TO SERVE!

We added a little ebiko onto the top of the pasta to add a bit of color!
The ebiko adds a nice crunch to every mouthful of the noodles too.
TASTY!

Hope you like our little recipe.

It’s healthy and so easy to make!
