Our dinner / Leroy packing his bag for school outing.

The boy is going for school outing to Garden by the Bay tomorrow and he is super excited!
He requested to pack his bag for this trip early. Well, it is good to have this good inititative to do things early rather than last minute.
So when we reach home today, I'm busy preparing our dinner and this boy gets busy again going through items which is already in his bag and stuff in more things inside. I'm very curious what he will bring but I've no time to check his bag. After dinner I will!

Our dinner tonight!
Didi can't wait to eat so when I'm preparing the last dish, he asked for my phone and quickly take a photo of this dish as he knows I always do that. Lol!
Blurry photo and he re-take!

A close-up. Lol!

Porridge with stripes of pumpkin added, salted egg prawn, egg tofu topped with marinated minced pork and fish (korkor eaten the fish skin!)
Simple dinner for my family. =)

I don't cook everyday thus my children sometimes still eat pack food and I feel super guilty.
My cooking skill is not as good as my mum but I try do check online for some easy recipe and cook for them and when the dish turns out good, I share with my mum! =)
Before I start my own family, I don't like cooking and finds it a hassle. The mess, the smell of oil and sweat, the cleaning up, I find it really troublesome. I always think that why such a trouble? Just 'dabao' food, eat and throw! Don't even have to wash the dishes. But when it comes to a point that after starting my own family and have children, no one in the house can cook and we are without a maid(most maid will be able to cook simple dishes), will you still have the same mindset as before? Some may think, 'aiyah just order tingkat lor. Slighty better than buying from stalls' But would you rather cook healthier food that you know what's being added in the food or eat what is being cook by others and not knowing if there is 'extra ingredient' added? Can't wait for mum to stay with us at our place!

Enough of my loh-sohness! Lol




Now, let's see what Leroy pack for his outing!



Me : Why he need 2 sunnies?
Leroy : So that I can change mah.
Me : Why you bring the fork?
Leroy : I need to use the fork when I eat there.
me : *laughing hysterically*

Staycation : Kukup Road Trip

The last group staycation is 2 years back..... Had been planning for a short trip with the gang but it's so diffcuilt to find a date that can accomodate all of us.... Finally a successful trip after 2 years.... So I reckon the next trip will be 2 years later?
Anywhere I got all the photos uploaded on my facebook so I'll upload the videos here first.

I love the laughter of babies!

Family Day at SDC.

Company is holding 1 year once Family Day event at SDC and it's gonna be our first time there.
A good chance for us to meetup with colleagues' family members and also to gather the kids to play.
It's a pretty good event but then it is held outdoor and it is very hot. Perhaps this is one downside.







After the buffet, we go free and easy. We are given coupons for XD-ride, boat-ride, shooting game and movie which is Guardian of the Galaxy. It's a 2hours movie in a big and cold theatre with comfortable seat. Left the place around 5.30pm to Jurong point for dinner.

See how exhausted the boy is. Falling asleep half day eating. Lol

Straight home after dinner as all of us are too tired.

Restaurant : 姑妈家

So loving! LOL! But only for that few secs.




We always pass by this restuarant at Macpherson and finally had a chance to dine here.
We are lucky to be able to get a lot few steps away from the restuarant as finding parking might be an issue as the road there is single lane parallel park lots.

The recipe and kitchen is helmed by 姑妈 as she is affectionately called by all her nieces and nephews. The restaurant came about as "Gu Ma Jia" is often the family gathering spot for the entire extended family.








For above, we paid around $80 which I find it abit steep and food wise quite average.
But Gu Ma Jia is a great proposition if you are looking for a quiet family run place for a meal.

Dad 61th birthday

Today is dad's birthday and we arrange to have dinner at the famous chicken rice steamboat at Golden Mile. Dad is a very traditional man and he doesn't fancy other cusine except chinese food. So we decided on this place. We had been patronizing this shop since I am in my primary school days. 20 over years and no change in quality of food! Tons of memories with my family there...... Now my turn bringing my children there. Lol!

Photos with the boys favourite GongGong and MahMah. =)






My loves!!!

Restaurant : Lai Wah

Gotten our bonus and colleagues arrange to have a very sumptuous dinner here!
Had been staying around that area for 8 years and I always pass by this place but I didn't know that this restaurant actually serves traditional and authentic Cantonese Chinese cuisine. It just looks like a very plain and dated eating house from outside

A table of 10pax that cost almost 1k which consist of 佛跳墙 and a few side dish.
It's very rare that I'm willingly to pay so much for a meal and I actually hesitate for quite sometime before I decided to join them. Reason is it's very near my home and I've never tried it before. Perhaps I can bring my family there if it's nice. =)

Total 3 layers with each layer of different exquisite taste and top grade ingredients!

Here's the first layer.








The 2nd layer






The 3rd layer. By this time we are already so full!






Side dish with is part of the dish from set meal and this is really nice!


The 2nd side dish.

Kolo Mee and Sarawak Laksa.

Knowing that I've wanted to try the kolo mee, hus brought us all the way to Bedok to have it! Happy day except that hot and humid weather!


Kolo Mee - $4.00
Was told this is the only authentic kolo mee in sg! Dont know how true it is as this is my first time trying as well. Not bad with go back for more.



Sarawak Laksa - $5.00
Saw quite a few ordering and I bought it to try as well. I still prefer sg laksa!

Val's Post-birthday Treat!

Went to Musee PS for my ipl. It is 3months once treatment instead of twice a month. So far so good!


While waiting for Celine, I brought val to eat at 4 fingers. Her first time there and love it!


Dinosaur book from Celine. She insist to pay for it when I told her dinosaurs has always been lervin's favorite!


Val suggest going Yu Hua Yuan for seafood dinner. One of the best place to have fresh seafood at affordable price! Downside, carpark is really very limited. Come early to get a lot if not there's valet too. =)




Seafood are really fresh and the pepper crab is da bomb!! Definitely will come here again!










Chill out at 'I forgot at where' lol!
