Party at Gallop Stables

We attended Miki and Ian's combined birthday party today and the venue was at Gallop Stables.

And here are the 2 birthday kiddos!

Ian didn't want to take a photo, so Kae and Miki took 1 together instead. Right before riding on the horse.

Kae was super excited about riding the horse. She is just up for anything nowadays, and wishes to try all the different activities/rides. Hell, she is more adventurous than me!

The tigress stuck to us like glue on the other hand. And refused to ride and/or feed the horse.

Kae took the spade and kept feeding the horses. I think she was reminded of the time in Gold Coast whereby we went on the farm tour and fed the sheep.

After the rides and the feeds, the kids were to do one more activity, sand painting! This Kerri could do, under my supervision of course. She could not peel off the sticky paper by herself.

And then it was cake cutting time. Love the set up and the cake!

Even thought the girls don't see each other very often,I am glad that both Kae and Miki can hang out and bond together when they do. It's as if they were old friends, playing with each other.

And the tigress, well, I am sure she will join them in their clique soon.

Coffee at Robert Timms

The reason why I head to Robert Timms for coffee, their latte art.

Dar was on leave today, so we took the change to head to Paya Lebar for some Kay Lee roast meat. But they were closed. So we decided to try the food at Old Street Bak Kut Teh just a few stores away.

I don't fancy the food at Old Street. They taste exactly like what I can get at the Bak Kut Teh stores at food courts. Never again.

Salad Lunch at Maison Kayser

When I need lunch around Wheelock Place, I would usually head to Sun with Moon Japanese Dining and Cafe, or Maison Kayser.

The choice for today was salad lunch set at Maison Kayser. I've always thought their set was value for money. You get a refillable basket of their delicious bread, a soup, a drink and a salad of your choice. They do have sandwich sets and other food on their menu too.

1st Hair Cut TOGETHER

Kerri finally decided to take the plunge and have her hair cut at the salon for the very first time when we brought Kae to cut her hair today. Initially she didn't want to have her hair cut. Maybe she was intrigued by the experience or she just wanted to be like her sister, but she changed her mind soon after and had her long tresses trimmed.

Lady M Confections

I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth craving, and so I persuaded the hub to bring the girls to try the cakes at Lady M Confections after dinner.

Famed from New York, I was dying to try their signature Mille Crepe cake. I think I was expectting too much, but I find the cake very ordinary.

A surprise discover was their Gateau Nuage (which translates to cloud cake). This is their version of a classic cheesecake. And hands down, the best cheesecake I've had ever. It was so silky and smooth tasting. A definite must order if you head to Lady M!

Teppei Japanese restaurant

I met up with Audrey for lunch today at Teppei Restaurant. You should have heard by now that Teppei is proving to be very popular in Singapore with their value for money Omakase meals which one have to make reservations months in advance for. They have a system whereby they will open up reservations for the next 3 months on a certain date, and all the seats will be taken up within minutes. That's how popular this place is. Even for lunch, whereby there is no Omakase meals served, people queue and wait patiently for their food.

So, Audrey and I decided to try this place out. True enough, I reached around 1135am, and this is the queue in front of me. Faint.

In the end, we waited for an hour before we were let in.

These were the appetizers I had. These are placed in front of the customers, and I assumed one can take as much as they would like. They were indeed very yummy. My kind of comfort food.

And then the main dish of the day, the Negitoro Kaisen Don. The ingredients were so fresh and sweet. Sigh, anyone want to queue with me again for lunch?
