Lots of fooooood...

Thinking back, realized I had quite a few food-outings since last Thursday -
- Saraceno (my fav restaurant for now) with Joyce and Berlina ...thanks to Joyce's last minute crave to go out for dinner...the dishes were all great, finished off with the lovely Tiramisu. Never disappointed!

- Axis Lounge .... with my long time girl friends...Cocktails are weeeeeeak.. horrible. Tapas so so, only went there for the cosy atmosphere.

- Dolce Vita in the Mandarin Oriental .... Nice ambience and superb food!

- Shiraishi in the Ritz Carlton ... High quality Japanese food, and those in our dinner party who ordered the set had a surprise when their grilled dish came with an accompaniment of Sea Bream Sperm! Yeeeeeee.. 2 creamy pouches with ... well, creamy content. How did it taste? "Not fishy, quite alright..." was the comment from our adventurous diners (definitely not me). The special off-the-menu item "Beef Tataki" was really good(with a price tag to match). Me being the boring person at a Japanese restaurant only had a California Temaki and the red bean + rice ball dessert... :)

One new experience every week...

My new mission... to bring mum out to a new place every weekend -- just to make sure she gets out of the house to experience different things. Ying Hong loves spending time with her PoPo too, and when PeiShan and TingQi are able to join us, the trio always have a wildly fun time!
Last week, we zipped off to The Vista --by the ECP beach --for breakfast, and Yinghong showed off her "S-board" skills to her cousins, then we went on to Kallang Leisure Park for bowling. Dinner was out at Canopy in Marina Golf Club.. a relaxing, no-frills Cafe with a stunning view of the city in the background. They have changed the menu, raised the prices a bit, service standard is still far from desired.
Nevertheless, we had a good time chatting and enjoying each other's company..

Was ALL fun on Saturday!!

The March School holidays have arrived!!! Promised Yinghong I will bring her to Hediard Cafe for breakfast, so she can have her favourite Croissant and hot chocolate and the highly-rated Scrambled eggs (turned out so so .. hefty price for a bowl of scrambled eggs).
The hot chocolate, however, was to die for!!!! faaaaaaaaantastic!

Organized dinner at NoSignBoard seafood restaurant @ the Esplanade, so Yinghong and her cousins can have an oooooomphy start to their one week holiday.. they had sooo much fun, and I have never seen them enjoyed their dinner so thoroughly...... felt so happy..

What a weekend!!

I was thinking of the logistics of moving the bicycle and myself to the Sunday's OCBC Cycle Challenge and this idea came to mind --book a Spa package stay at the Ritz Carlton!

Yinghong enjoyed herself tremendously, and we had such a wonderful time... and even did touristy thing on Sunday -- went onto the Singapore Flyer!

I am so glad I parked the bike overnight at the F1 Pit Bike Park, and only had to bring myself on Sunday to the start point of the Race.. .cos I overslept!!! The alarm clock didn't go off, and it was 6:15 am when I woke up when the flag-off time is 6:45! Changed and dashed like an Olympic sprinter to the F1 Pit and managed to collect my bike, fasten the time chip and get to the start line just on time!!!! But forgot to take my SoyJoy bar for breakfast, so was sooooo hungry during the ride.. Not too bad.. made it under 2 hours! :) Went back to the hotel, bathed and still in time for breakfast with Yinghong at the Cafe..heee
mmmm... The Ritz was so fun, we are already contemplating booking it for the National Day fireworks...
