Despite dealing with homesickness and culture shock, something I love about moving somewhere new is all the unprecedented discoveries you make on a daily basis. Behind every corner is something new to feast your eyes upon. This feeling just makes everything hard to comprehend worthwhile; it makes you feel truly alive.

Driving home after my university orientation day mum took me into a flower market along Thompson Road, which unfolded into a nursery. Inside there was the most beautiful array of flowers. The store smelt sweet and fresh, with different types of flowers framing the room. The colourful flowers illuminated the somewhat bleak looking interior.

Walking distance from my home is café called Wimbly Lu Chocolates. Since I moved here and spotted this café I’ve wanted to go there because I had heard such wonderful reviews.  It’s a small cozy cafe, with different types of furniture adding to the quirky and fun factor.  Finally this week I went in for afternoon tea, and it far exceeded my expectations.  I ordered an ice chocolate assuming it would be the usual bland drink where large amounts of crushed ice overpowered the desired flavour. Although this drink was phenomenal. You could taste actual chocolate and cocoa; something rare in the many ice chocolates I had consumed previously. It was creamy and delicious. Of course I couldn't just come to this café and get a drink. So I ordered a waffle with vanilla bean ice cream and toffee sauce. One thing you must know about me is that I am an absolute sucker for waffles and whilst I scanned the menu I convinced myself that yes, I did deserve this treat. I think they are one of the most delicious desserts, and that is exactly what this waffle was. The toffee and ice cream added another simply delectable layer to this dish of my dreams. I definitely recommend this café to anyone who is in Singapore and isn't concerned about their waistline but feasting on sweet delicious foods.
