Animal Resort

20 October 2012


Saw some family blogs and most of them have featured this 'Animal Resort'.

Supposed to be very kampong - yes, very kampong but it is also very run-down.

It seemed to be a big area but you are confined to the front area.

Expected to see more animals (as some blogs have shown) but ...... let me count .....

there's the geese, 3 ducks, 1 horse, some parrots, 2 cranes, fishes and some rabbits and hamsters in cages - well, that's at least what we saw when we were there. I felt quite disappointed lor.

But guess what - Eugene enjoyed it tremendously and wanted to go back again.

We bought some animal feeds from the owners.

Eugene love feeding the geese. Thought that he would be scared but he was very brave.
Actually I was the one who's scared, ha ha.

Poor duckie - alone ......

He loves feeding the rabbits too.

Er... don't know what this bird is. Looks like a prehistoric bird to me.

I like the cranes. So colourful. See how tall they are.

Kakilicious @ Spring Court & PS Cafe Ann Siang Hill

16 October 2012

FJ was back in Singapore and of cos, everybody will have a get-together (any excuse to eat :)  ).

Didn't take any food pics - too hungry.

The restaurant got a special promotion - spend about $80 and get a Peking Duck at 0.82cents !
We have the duck meat fried to eat with lettuce - cost about $18 I think.

Overall, food's good.

Lower Seletar Water-Play

14 October 2012

I had wanted to bring Eugene to this water-play place ever since seeing it on some blogs.

We went a couple of months ago but couldn't find it - I told hubby it was Lower Pierce reservoir instead, oops !

So now we got it right.

Eugene didn't dare to go to the fountain area. He didn't like the loud gushing sounds that the fountains make.

He prefer the shallow water area.

Changi City Point Mall

13 October 2012

I like Changi City Point Mall. It doesn't feel claustrophobic - could be because of the high ceiling and pockets of open spaces and air-wells.

Didn't really explore all the shops but heard that there are a number of factory outlets.


Had dinner at Eggs & Berries.

We sat outside as inside was full. But it wasn't stuffy as there are ceiling fans.

Nice presentation.

Hubby's wagyu beef. Not very exciting.

I prefer "Food For Thoughts" which has a similar food concept to 'Eggs & Berries'. Somehow there are more oomph in the food from "Food For Thoughts".

One thing we were very pleased with - excellent service, which is very rare.

The 3-house

Walking down and we came across the water-play area.

Walking across the wobbly bridge.

Daddy, I'm scared, help me.....

Soon, he was swinging like a monkey.

Caged Playground @ J8

12 October 2012

After Eugene's painting session, we walked around and went to the open area at the mall.

The last time, it was under renovation. Hmm.... what's outside now.

 A caged playground, well, that's what I call it.

Eugene's too short and unable to hoist himself to the next level.

He can only go up this ramp.......

and slide down the slide.

The kid trying to rock climb - legs too short to get onto the next foot-hole.

Let's try the fireman pole - mommy carry me ! aiyoh, how to carry you up there? you are so heavy now.
That older boy tried and landed on his butt - ouch!

har.. think I'll stick to the swing for a while.

Paint, Bake Dinosaur

12 October 2012

Went back to Junction 8 as Eugene wanted to paint a dinosaur.

After the aunty 'baked' the dinosaur.

Face Draw

09 October 2012

  Boy ah, you drew on your own face and now looking like a monkey.

Borsch Steakhouse

06 October 2012


Russian Hainanese food ?

This place reminds me of 'Shashlik' where you have the Borsch soup and the Alaskan.

Even the servers are like the servers at 'Shashlik' - old but not as old as the ones at 'Shashlik', glum face but not as sour-faced as at 'Shashlik'.


And the food, well, not fantastic but edible lah.

Borsch soup tasted like minestrone soup.

Hainanese pork chop rice does not have enough vinegar in the gravy.

Saw other tables ordering the steak and hot-plate fish. Looks very dry to me. 

I only like the prices - very good reasonable prices.

Would I come back here - no, unless no choice - like if other places around the area are full.

Look at this baby-chair - absolutely vintage - very quaint yar...

Chef Daniel's Kitchen

05 October 2012

It's been a long time that we dined at Olive Tree at Intercontinental Hotel for their Mediterranean buffet but......... there ain't any.......ain't any Mediterranean buffet that is.

It's now offering local cuisine like roti-prata, porridge with ikan bilis, peanuts etc...  Huh? what happened har? I thought their Mediterranean buffet was good and also popular as it was always full - maybe their chef left?

Well, we started to hunt for another restaurant and decided to check out Bugis+.  Went to the uppermost floor and came across 'Chef Daniel's Kitchen'. Ok lah, go in as the kid was whiny and hungry.

Hmm........ seems like Asian Fusion.

Situated on the rooftop. 

The big kitchen is separate from the main dining area.

Eugene finished this all by himself.

Can't remember what kind of soup, tasted good with the egg and roasted garlic.

Yummy escargot. Can't really go wrong with the garlic and cheese sauce.

Lamb shanks for hubby. That's mashed potatoes on the top, not scallops

I had the fish as I'm not really into meat.

Making Crepe Suzette.

We have not had this dessert for the longest time as not many places serve it. 
It tasted so good.

The food's not wow but it's definitely above average and the prices reasonable.

Sand Art

05 October 2012


Well, that's what I call it.

He wanted to 'sand' Ben-10.

First we do the outline.

He wanted a half blue jacket instead of green for Ben-10

Admiring his art work.

Ta-daa ! Ben-10 in half pink jacket and pink pants ! (muahahaha ! - laughing to myself lah)
