Are you busy planning your wedding now? Having so many items in your TO DO LIST? One of them is definitely your wedding flowers of course.
I'm going to share with you on some tips and where you could tick this off your list right away.

How to Budget for your Wedding Flowers

The excitement is overwhelming, but don't get too excited because in planning for your wedding day, especially when it comes to purchasing your flowers, there are of course money involved that you need to deal with. However, these sums will never kill the excitement definitely so long as you can manage it well and make the wisest choice.

  

A simple flower arrangement will cost some amount and in a wedding event, you need not only one, but many of course. In some cases, brides are no longer realistic in budgeting for flowers, because theatinvolves too much money, sacrificing some of the preparations because they were too afraid that they could not provide all the needed materials to decorate the church and reception.

It is important to remember that flowers are supposed to be affordable choices; therefore, you do not need to spend so much for these ornamental options, but if you are not wise in your budgeting tactics, then these flowers can eat up a huge slice in your expenses.

The first thing to remember is that when choosing the wedding flower designs, you should be very creative if you have a budget to follow. A good budget puts some reasonable boundaries. Hence, if the design and style you wanted for your bridal bouquet will not suit the amount you have allotted for it, then you should be creative in using alternatives in order to achieve the same level of beauty, but using less money.

The best florist Singapore can help you in this matter. This is the second important thing you should consider. Although hiring a professional will just be an addition to your expenses but this professional can also adjust and may help you save more in the end. You just need to coordinate and let the expert know your budget for them to work around.

Lastly is to make both expensive and cheap purchases. Distribute the amount you have allocated for the wedding flowers. Order a florist delivery service from an online florist for those flowers you wish to order in bulk. You can avail of some discounts if you do bulk orders and pick those pre-arranged designs. For your bouquet, you can select expensive types of flowers with nicely colored accents. With the help of an expert can help you do the mix and match.

Creating a good budget for your wedding flowers can result in more satisfaction. It saves you also from all the worries on how the church and reception would look like on your special day because the hired professional florist, who you can trust, will arrange the flowers, making everything perfect for you.

Finally met up my Poly Year 1 gang after like 8 to 9 years?!

One of them suggested Hopheads.
So I went to check and thought the place and menu looks not bad, so why not right?

Underground bar. How cool right? Is it a hidden gem? Let's find out!

The place is so spacious!

Free games~

But you have to queue for your turn of course...

Seemed like the night is still young...

Having some Chinese fonts to make it less mainstream?

请不要整天花天酒地！ 哇哈哈！

***************

ok, enough said.

Time for FOOD!

We are HUNGRY already!

 



Drumlets @ $12.90

Peppery Fried Drumlets

 

Crispy outside and tender inside.

Usually Fried Chicken can't really go wrong when they are served hot right?

In addition, when you are hungry, it just makes the food even tastier.

No "WOW" factor though and doesn't taste peppery too as mention in its name.

Onion Rings @ $7.90

 

Good to have when all your friends have not reach yet.

But without it, you are not missing out either.

 

 



Soft Shell Crab Burger @ $17.90

Deep fried soft shell crab with kaffir lime mayo, pickles. Served with Fries.

 

I think it will do more justice to look at the photo below instead.

Look at the soft shell crab sitting nicely above the pasta!

But for people who prefer burger and fries, go for this of course. 

There's actually a runny side up underneath the soft shell crab, but wasn't captured in the photo.

Overall combination was not bad. But then again, a big sized burger like this, I will eat it separately, defeats the purpose of having a burger. So, I would prefer to have the pasta instead!

Soft Shell Crab Pasta @ $16.90

Pasta with béchamel sauce, topped with a tempura soft shell crab.

 

Just look at the evenly fried GOLDEN BROWN Soft Shell Crab!

Please have them while it's still hot. It was crispy and savory.

Suggest to share the pasta with your friends because I felt having the big crab with the béchamel sauce pasta can get a little gelat after a while.

See how big the crab is?

Selling at an affordable price. Thumbs up!

 

 

Salted Egg Yolk Pasta @ $16.90

Deep fried breaded tiger prawns topped on signature creamy salted egg yolk sauce with curry leaves and chilli

 

The salted egg sauce was not bad. But again, I suggest to share with your friends.

Got gelat after a while.

 

Sambal Chicken Pizza @ $19.90

Grandma's prawn paste sambal with chicken, onions, black olives and mozzarella.

 

The pizza was just alright. Should have ordered the smoked salmon pizza instead, looks more mouth watering than this. Not much sambal taste too. Meh.

Waffle Burger @ $18.90

Southern Fried Chicken thigh topped with sunny side up and maple syrup. Served with fries.

 The portion was really huge. My guy friend ordered this and couldn't finish it.

The waffles were crispy outside and chewy in the middle. Not bad.

I would suggest them to have some salad or coleslaw as side dish instead. This is too heavy.

Too much carbo!

 

 

When will our next meet up be? Whose wedding next?

I do miss the times when we hangout in the past. They are a bunch of funny dudes.

Just sitting there listening to their conversation already would be make your day.

That's how lame and kiddish (sounds nicer than childish) they are.

 ******************************

 

 

All in all, my experience there was good and bad?

 

It gets rather noisy once the crowd came. Unfortunately, next to us was a group of working Uncles who talk super loud, even banging tables. It was a little difficult for to have our conversation.

 

Customer service wise, they are quite nice. One of them even lend me her Samsung cable to charge my phone. However, the service was rather slow too.

 

Food wise was not bad and selling at an affordable price.

 

So, I would rate it a 7/10.

Went for Trenzwalk with TingTing at Marina Bay Sands and chance upon this chill and chic place to have our dinner.

that's TingTing over there ~

Once you enter the restaurant, you will be blown away by their details.

I like the interior which looks rustic and at the same time looking very industrial with all the open pipes.

They made this two totally different concept work totally together, no?

So, since it's the "BIRD" Southern Table & Bar, we ought to order some bird related dishes, right?

Look at their extensive choices on Alcohols.

I may look a little chubbier here... 

And to be honest this was a super late post!

I visit them in May which was already 5 months back! 

Oh dear... it's about time to finish all the late posts! Buck up, Apple!

And yes, I was about 6 to 7kg heavier at that time I assume?

**************

Here comes the most important part of this post.

FOOD! GLORIOUS FOOD!

Skillet Cornbread @ $10

Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Bacon, Jalapeno, Honey Butter

I notice that netizens were commenting on Instagram that this is a "must" eat? 

But honestly, do not waste your calories. 

Nothing fantastic about this piece of bread. 

Instead,  consuming more unnecessary Carbs means less space for yummier food later on right?

Fried Green Tomato BLT @ $18

In-House Smoked Pork Belly, Pimento Cheese, Frisee, Smoky Tomato Jam, Lemon Vinaigrette

This was a dish recommended by our waitress. 

The customer service here was really great.

They are very helpful, thoughtful and nice. 

This particular dish that she recommended was definitely quite a starter that you should have. 

However, when I went online to check on their menu, it was no longer on the menu.

What a waste!

It was savoury and flavourful. The overall combination was just beyond words!

Lewellyn's Fine Fried Chicken @ $35

1/2 of their Famous Bird served with Honey sauce

 It wasn't the crispy and crunchy type that I expected. 

It was more like KFC's Original Chicken or Arnold's Fried Chicken. 

No "Wow' factor for the chicken too. 

We were expecting more!

Thus, it was a little disappointing to us.

St.Louis Style Pork Ribs (1/2) @ $36

(Cider glaze, Green Apple Slaw)

We ordered half portion of the ribs as recommended by our waitress. 

We really want to try the ribs but was afraid that there's too much food for just the two of us.

 Now, looking back, the price for full ribs was priced at $42.... why are 1/2 portions priced at $36 ar? hmmmm....

Back to talking about this dish, this was pretty good! 

The ribs was juicy, tender and full of flavours.

You guys should definitely order this pork ribs instead of their fried chicken.

They also suggested some wine for us to pair with the food.

Wanted to end this wonderful meal with their dessert but something terrible happened... so end up not getting any mood for desserts. :(

My handphone fell onto and the screen cracked... and along with my heart it fell.

**************** 

All in all, my experience there was really a pleasant one. 

Their customer service was really good. 

They are very nice and thoughtful. 

Overall, food and ambience was not bad too.

So, I would rate it a 8/10.
