Blame It On The Rain

Another rainy one! On a Tuesday (sometime in September) it rained cats and dogs. And elephants. 

I left my brother's house (after visiting mum) and was caught in the strong wind and rain. I had to hang on to my umbrella for dear life!

After crossing the road, I took a short breather at the Petronas station and then continued with my (very wet) walk. By that time my shoes were soaking wet.

As I made my way along the shophouses, I decide that I should settle my lunch at Halla Holla and sit out the rain. 


Coffee must drink! The coffee here is good.


Since they were having a promotion of sandwich with free coffee, I took up the offer. I selected the Smoked Salmon Croissant.


The sandwich is served with a well dressed salad (balsamic dressing).


I like that the generous serving of smoked salmon was not salty. When I finished my sandwich, the rain still didn't stop. But I made my way back to the office with squishy shoes.


A few days before that (oopss!!!), I went to try the Cherry Tomatoes and Onion Focaccia. Conclusion - the Olive and Garlic is more to my taste.

  1. Yes, there was a day when it was raining heavily in SG (cannot remember in October or late September) and the wind was so strong that it sent me the chills even though I was not in an aircon room. It must have felt uncomfortable being wet and in squishy shoes. Did you have a pair of spare sandals or shoes in the office? Ahhh, I like smoked salmon. Good choice.

    1. Unfortunately, I did not have spare sandals or shoes in the office. So I walked around barefoot! LOL!
