Thank you Tea for CWS' Spay Volunteers

We had a lovely tea session to thank our Spay Day volunteers last Sun afternoon @ Food for Thought. One of the staff, David was very nice to come back on his day of rest to open up the cafe and prepare nice finger food and drinks for us.

Dawn was helping David behind the counter at times.

We had yummy cinnamon raisin loaf, pandan cake and chocolate cupcake


I had a nice cup of soothing Chinese herbal tea.


I think the caregivers enjoyed themselves in sharing their experiences with one another in such a cosy environment.

Baking many ginger cookies

On Fri night, I started preparing the ingredients and mixing them to make the dough for my ginger cookies. Some of them will be sold at Food for Thought and the rest will go into the stomachs of mine, mum and some friends who like them.

I kept the cookie dough in the fridge and rolled and baked them on Sat morning.


I managed to bake at least 150 cookies. I felt quite tired after all the baking and washing up but I'm happy that mum likes the cookies. This time, the cookies turn out soft instead of crispy - similar to baked moon cake skin or gingerbread men.


If you are visiting Food for Thought cafe this week, you may see this label on a cookie jar. I shall wait to hear from the cafe on the response to my cookies. I'm not sure whether people take to soft ginger cookies but it's fun to bake something that my mum, friends and I like :)

Food for Thought again :)

I was looking forwarding to my 2nd visit to Food for Thought cafe as I really had a gastronomical experience early this month.

I brought my 2 friends there and we ordered the sampler platter for 2 as I had dessert 3 hours ago. The platter comes with 2 choices of sandwiches, 2 soups and 1 salad. The 2 guys had shitake mushroom fennel soup. I wanted to try their watermelon mint freeze but it wasn't available so I had lychee sage freeze which was refreshing like the last time.

The salad we had - Chinese Chicken Salad - was yummy. The sauce tasted like kong bak gravy to me - very tasty.


The sandwiches - spicy pork (kong bak), Cuban ham and steak and roasted beef steak - didn't disappoint us too. I like the kong bak best with fats and all :)


I had space for dessert and we shared chocolate banana malteser cake. It's really good. I think my friends enjoyed their dinner too.

Food for Thought

For lunch today, my friends and I visited this cafe, Food for Thought .

We have been wanting to visit it for the past few months and finally managed to find time to meet up.

There was a lunch time crowd and I could understand why after all the eating and drinking. We had the fennel shitake mushroom soup. It's light without the cream and full of mushroom goodness.

Next was 2 platters of sandwiches. We tried all the sandwiches on the menu - grilled spring vegetables, slow roasted pull pork. braised pork, grilled sausage. basil pesto chicken. The butter buns baked by the chief, David were great and the salad that went with the sandwiches was refreshing.

We also had Lychee Freeze drink. I found lychee bits in it! Cool.

There is always room for dessert and we shared a Red Velvet Cake. Not too sweet with cream cheese icing - I love it! And it was freshly baked early this morning.

When our friend asked how we like our food, I told her I like everything :) I will definitely bring my family and friends to the cafe in the future.
