Told boss I want off on Monday because it is my 21st birthday haha. Both mum and dad working on that day. My friends aren't free too so I have thoughts that I should just stay home on that day but then texting with yunrui make me realise that I shouldn't waste my 21st birthday at home and I just just go out and walk or shop around would be better so I just grab my bag and prepare to head out since I have to find something to eat for lunch also. I ask myself since today is my day so I should go to my favourite cafe and eat for lunch which is not in the picture actually. You might have already guess.. It is IAM Cafe. I went there but the service was quite terrible, nobody lead me to the table or seats I feel like an idiot.. instructions wasn't clear also on where I should be waiting for my seats so I stand there doubtly.. I spent my whole day shopping alone at Bugis Street and town while waiting for my mum to end work so we can go to this cafe called The Benjamins to try out their milkshakes, initially my plan was to have dinner at P.S. Cafe because I saw people posting photos of their food on their marble table top just looks so pretty and all but when we reached there, the cafe was only filled by a table of customers. Other than that, it was empty and menu wise was very limited and expensive so after finding out that The Benjamins does not only sell drinks, in fact they have mains too and it was just opposite P.S. Cafe, we went over there for our dinner instead and it was a correct choice. When we reached there, it was around 6pm and the cafe seats were almost all filled with people except that some tables has the sign reserved on it. The first thing they ask was whether we have any reservations and of course I didn't know we have to reserve to dine at a cafe, at least my past experiences at cafes doesn't require me to do so but apparently the place was pretty much booked up. Luckily they manage to temporary took out the reserved sign at one of the table because the certain person booked the table for 7.30pm. Initially it was 7pm which left us with only 1 hour to eat but fortunately they manage to add on another 30mins. I ordered the Old School Vanilla Milkshake which can't be found on their menu which I have forgotten the reason why. I found this shake on somebody's Instagram so I showed to the staff that I want to order this! Got to be my favourite shake because it tastes sweet! So excited to drink the shake because it is so huge and pretty!! The second shake I choose was the Nutella Banana because this is the most popular one I have seen people posting on Instagram. Not really a fan of chocolate + banana kind of drink person, I would prefer the vanilla one over this but the pretzels are really special and cute hahhah compared to my cotton candy and the green old school snacks.. Next up is Crabmeat Arrabbiata Linguine! Wanted to order Mac & Cheese but they run out but its ok because at least this pasta isn't bad! I wanted to try the Benjamins' Ocean Plate too but I didn't see any photos of it on Instagram and the menu doesn't have any pictures and I don't know what is it so I didn't go for that one. If you manage to try that one, do share with me how does it looks like and what is it ok!! I want to know. Mum had The Benjamin burger with bacons, egg, cheese and mushrooms. Even though I had a hard time finding the cafe, it is inside this shopping mall called Forum if I remember it correctly and the mall is situated right on the left of Hardrock cafe. Really like the cafe ambiance as well as the shakes and food. Staff was really friendly as well!! No regret spending my birthday dinner there! :)
