9MCM

Missed the previous pop-up marketplace by A Perfect Saturday and made sure I attend this one, yesterday. Participants were spread over two levels of APS lifestyle gallery located on 9 Muthuraman Chetty Road. Upon reaching, saw Kerbside Gourmet understandably parked outside the entrance. Offerings from the food truck included bar-chor-mee-inspired sandwiches. Could not wait to step into the air-conditioned indoors where I had samples at Tart Blanc. Its blueberry lavender and raspberry praline tart was well-balanced in taste and texture though the cookies – both the Ginger & Lemon, and Sesame Thins I tried were too sweet. Sampled the Almond, Cashew and Hazelnut Cocoa spreads by The Hunter's Kitchenette too. These all natural nut butters had a smooth and very rich (might be a tad cloying and oily for some) texture with a nutty taste. While I liked the taste of ginger in Citizen Pop's Apple & Ginger, could hardly taste the apple in the fizzy soda made from only fresh fruits and natural ingredients.

Weekend Happenings

While a week starts from Sunday to Saturday (or Monday to Sunday, if you prefer) and weekend starts on Friday, Thursday is the day when most new movies are launched. Hence, show times released on this day every week by the cinema operators are generally valid 'til the following Wednesday. Just like major supermarkets' weekly promotions which run concurrent with the 3 or 4-day weekend specials and the monthly ones. Watsons has its Thursday special and McDonald's on-going promotion releases a unique design of Hello Kitty plush toy every Thursday. But for gadget-lovers like me, Thursday is when our once-a-quarter hunt for bargains starts. Other than November's Sitex held at Singapore Expo, the rest  namely IT Show in March, PC Show in June and Comex in August/September, are usually at Suntec Singapore International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
