JP at Bussorah Street
Before we moved in..
Didn't take many photos 'cause the kitchen was in too horrible a state!
We only had two weeks to prepare for the shop, so everything had to be done really quickly! Getting a nice apron was one of the to-dos heh (:
Daiso was pretty much our savior!
D-I-Y bunting!
Scrapbooking
We put a lot of effort into this board! It explains what are cheesecups, what flavours we have and also our website!
D-I-Y cake boards to display our cheesecups
Our first big investment, the oven!
Shopping at IKEA!
Our "signboard"! :D
We had a super hard time cleaning up the kitchen! There was so much grease on every surface in the kitchen
This was the state of our gloves after we were done. Yucksss
Proud moment when we hung up our signage!
New curtains!
First day of opening! We were greeted with a lovely pot of flowers from shirley ah yi! (:
Our opening promo haha
It felt like agess before we got our first customer, Adrian! Very friendly, supportive guy! (:
Kor turned up in Jara Petit colours to help us on Day 1! :D
Flowers from Tseyun & Korkor, Ah yi and KC! All so beautiful! :))
Lotsa friends and relatives came to visit while we were there.. Xinyi and I were both very pleasantly surprised and touched! Jiu jius and family! :)
Cheesecups promoter!
Our toppers stand made from styrofoam and pretty tape!
We had a little opening party, and invited some relatives and friends over! The theme was white and blue! (: Didn't take enough pictures that day 'cause we were too busy!
Gugu and guzhang who've been very supportive, with the flowers they sent! Felt kinda bad that friends and relatives spent so much sending us flowers, when we only stayed there for 2 months! :(
Biggest surprise of the day. Kexin who, according to Yichao, flew back from Japan just for me, with a rose. HAHA.
6Hers :)

Steppers flyers! (:

A bunch of tourists/exchange students left something behind for us! (:

The first week at Bussorah we had no time to eat, then things got better and we took turns to dabao food. Then we got bored of the food nearby, and decided to cook ourselves!
Macaroni soup
Kimchi Noodles!
Laksa :D

Our first baby shower order!
Amelie and Elena's parents brought them to visit! I was so surprised and happy to see them! Missed them soooo much. And they were in adorable dresses!
Cousins and nephews!
Sasa!! So happy to see her too. She helped out a bit when she was at the shop (: Watched ilo ilo last night and was reminded of her. Miss herrr.
One of the scariest jobs when we were at Bussorah was to hand out flyers!
Self cooked fried rice! Yummehh.
Becky and family came to visit too! Her mummy just texted me recently telling me she's made it to the singapore gymnastics centralised training. Proud of her (:
You probably can't tell from this picture, but both of us left the shop for some retail therapy at nearby Haji Lane when we were so frustrated with nf..
Surprise visit from xiu, faith and shena (:
One of our proudest cooking achievements, baked pasta!

Last night at bussorah!
Took pictures of the different corners of our shop to remember the place!
Rushed a big order on our last night there. Then had to move a million things back home. Tiring night!
Auntie gave us tremendous help too! Haha she looks so cute here
I've been trying very hard to write down my thoughts about the two months we ran the cafe/practically lived at 15BussorahStreet. But it's so difficult putting them into words. Oh wells the photos shall suffice!
