Different cake, simple celebration

May 11, 2011

I was hoping for a surprise this year.

So this year’s cake was different because daddy chose the design without telling me. And that it had to be my favourite CHOCOLATE cake.

Before I could wish, the girl had already blew out the candle. Arh. Lucky I managed to say the wish faaast in my heart.

We had our dinner at Kiseki Japanese Buffet Restaurant.

Brownies in small bite size. I love brownies!

The girl asked me if the slide is for baby.

As I walked around taking food, I came to realise there was no other kid except Zann. Even Daddy said the same thing.

Where’s the fondue ?

She didn’t see the chocolate fondue. If not, she would have ask for it. Too much chocolate also no good for her.

Guilty indulgence

April 28, 2011

How not to miss the durian stalls when you are at Geylang? Or was it just me? It was so tempting. So when Daddy asked, I immediately said YES !

With so many stalls at the roadside selling durians, how to pick one which is honest and genuine ? So, we bought from a stall where we saw alot of customers. 5 durians for $20, considered cheap or expensive ?

I didn’t see any worms, so I guess these are the good ones.

I decided to use some of the leftover durian paste to bake one durian cake.

Of HortPark and pancakes

April 26, 2011

So near yet so far …

We were planning to spend our evening at the Hort Park during the weekend. But the unpredicatable weather prevented us from exploring this beautiful park. Having no choice, we could only explore their indoor gallery.

(We will come back to this park again. )

Next, we adjourned for dinner. Daddy suggested Strictly Pancakes since we didn’t get to go the other time. I thought that was a good idea since Zann loves pancake.

Zann wanted garlic prawn pancakes which she only ate the prawns. Daddy and I shared the banana scotched (minus the rum) pancakes. Boy, u can imagine how full the three of us were, having so much carbo (from the so many pancakes we ate!).

Err….no more pancakes for the time being lah.

Dinner @ The Garden Slug

April 22, 2011

If you love hanging out in the quieter east side, you would love to dine at the garden slug. And they even have kid’s menu. Better still, no service charge and GST. I will be back with Zann again.

Victor’s Kitchen

April 22, 2011

Dim Sum was on my mind when I was at Purvis street today. I really regretted choosing Victor’s kitchen over Strictly Pancakes which was just around the vicinity.

Utterly disappointed when I couldn’t find egg tarts in their menu. This place has failed me with their food standard and lousy service.

Which explained why I only ordered a few plates.

We had an awesome dinner …

March 14, 2011

…. especially Mum’s chilly taucheo crabs. *Slurp*

Mum called and asked me to go over her place. I said YES when I heard CRABs.

I am not an eating crab expert. so everyone was telling me off that I waste food. Mum bought these 4 crabs at only $20 from Sheng Siong. Don’t know why so cheap. I enjoyed tonight’s dinner.

Except Zann. She told me they looked scary to be eaten. Haha.

Lunch @ Din Tai Fung 鼎泰丰 (Nex)

March 6, 2011

Food quality is good with prompt service. Needless to say, we love their xiao long baos.

I wish I knew there is a children’s playarea in Nex’s sky garden. It’s like a miniwild wild wet.

Because of the unexpected rain, the girl had her limited play time at the playground area.

Before we left the place, mummy wanted to look for a long-time friend, Eileen.

Sat. Sun.

February 27, 2011

Sat. Because Daddy had two wedding dinners to attend. I planned a day of activities for myself and Zann. The girl was so happy when I told her we would be lunching out at her favourite joint, *FROG*. She only remembers the green frog logo which represents Sakae. Yea…the aeroplane set which she never gets tired of. After that, both of us spent three hours in salon. While she had her haircut, I had my coloring done.

Next, was the story telling session inside the Congo hut. I liked the story telling idea which ACM has came up with.

Sun. Daddy planned to bring the girl out for a swim. But they didn’t get to go in the end because of the unpredictable weather.

10 hours without Zann

January 23, 2011

Daddy and I spent our Sunday shopping without Zann. It’s easier to run errands for Chinese New Year in some crowded places without the girl tagging along.

It’s fresh flowers made bunny. Very innovative.

I like this dress but Daddy said I looked fat wearing it. Should I buy or not to buy ? *thinking*

Our next destination, the super crowded Chinatown under the hot sun.

So many people queueing for Lim Chee Guan’s ba kwa. We saw other brands elsewhere but they were all sold out. At $49 per kg, that’s really exp.

My non-spicy beef ramen.

Daddy’s cha-su ramen.

It’s like a walking marathon today. I lost count of how much Daddy and I had covered. Tiring even without Zann with us. While daddy was happy with his loots, I still haven’t gotten anything for myself.
