Granny Seah went to Tiong Bahru Bakery

Last week, took 1/2 day off and brought Granny Seah, mom and my nephew, Skye, (Yes! 4 generations!) to one of my favorite bakery - Tiong Bahru Bakery. My fav is their croissants. Slurp! I soooo wanna Granny Seah to try!

Told you my grandmama is cool! haahhaha. I asked her to pose with my sunglasses which she happily put on! She likes the croissant plain, without the salted butter.

We waited awhile before our latte arrived. Her first reaction was, "Wa so nice" in Teochew when she saw the latte art. (I think the next time, I will bring her to the cafe with 3D latte art!)

I burst out laughing when I told Granny Seah to pose. She got into the mood and did this! So awesome! She was so sporting! haha.




She loves her "kopi" (coffee with milk in Teochew) semi sweet but I think the latte is too bitter so instead of her usual one, she added two sachets of sugar. Here is her verdict after the taste test.

The picture says it all!

Passed!!!

Why blog about my grandma?

Because I think grandparents are the coolest bunch! It has been in my heart to show that elderly are actually cool. My heart always have a warm fuzzy feeling when I see old folks walking together and still holding hands! Once, along Orchard Road, I saw an elderly lady holding a bouquet of flowers!
*Heart melt*

My grandparents are really a lovely couple…Grandpa Tan cooked the best dried chili prawns and he was the one who inspire me to eat chili padi! To make us laugh, he actually imitate "Yan can cook" way of talking while teaching us to cook! Unfortunately awesome Grandpa Tan passed on after battling cancer and lung infection…that was 15 years ago… 

Me and Granny Seah on her birthday
Thank God for keeping Granny Seah long life and healthy. She is now in her 80's but she can still go shopping with us for the whole day! From time to time she will come by and stay over at my mom's place and we always look forward to that! From my work, I will take a little time off and bring her to tim sum or interesting cafes for meal. Although she prefers Chinese food, sweet granny will still let me bring her to more westernized places. I hope to introduce to her interesting or quaint places around Singapore and let her experience different flavors!

I pray that Granny Seah will live till a 120 with her strength not abated and her eyes not dim! She shall continue to be in great health all the days of her life! In Jesus' name! Amen!
