I have been a blogger and content creator for many years now. And also a freelancer. So I do not have a typical workday. But here is what I would consider a workday.

This workday vlog from January 28 is really just cafe hopping.

The Secret Garden Cafe

We started the day at The Secret Garden Cafe. It was my first time there and I tried one pasta dish and coffee. The coffee was ok. It was the two savory dishes we tried that stood out. And the reason why we would go back.

I do not usually like pasta dishes with cream sauces but their Garlic Chicken Alfredo is well-made. The garlic balances the cream really well. It is served with their sourdough garlic bread. I would recommend this to people who love cream-based pasta.

My cousin had their Bacon Maple Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I also tried it and loved it, as well.

Club’s Bakery

Afterwards, we visited Club’s Bakery. We have tried their Pain Au Chocolat via Grab before and we wanted to try more of their pastries (or vennoiserie). I ordered their Spanish Latte and we shared a Lemon Cruffin and a Fresh Blueberry Danish. Both the danish and the cruffin were god but it was the cruffin that we fell in love with. It is croissant shaped and baked like a muffin with lemon curd inside and on top. Perfectly tangy, sweet, and buttery.

I was going to buy a few more pastries to bring home but I was informed that most items would go on sale at 6 pm so we waited for 6 pm. Then, I bought a few pastries to bring home, including one of their giant croissants.

Went home happy and full but kinda tired. Again, we just went to two spots but I consider it a productive workday. More workday vlogs soon.

Do you have suggestions or recommendations for us? We would love to try new things, discover underrated food spots. And taste unique dishes.
