No Menu

I met up with Ked and Aud for lunch at No Menu today. Aud is just back from Hong Kong and will be back for good this time round. Yipee!

Like the last visit, their buretta cheese and parma ham just blew me away. Again. I think I will just order that as my main when I dine there next. It's the best I've tasted so far. A Must Order!

Their squid ink pasta was just average. I think of all the squid ink pasta I've tried, the best I've had was from Ristorante da Valentino. Argh, I want to go back there again!

PV and PV

These are the 2 shops I will always go to when I am at Holland Village, Provence and Plain Vanilla Bakery.

My favorite from Provence is their Brazilian Cheese buns.

And my favorite from my new favorite cupcake store, their Red Velvet. Recently, they added the flavor Salted Caramel to their regular menu. Yipee! And of course, the dark chocolate is for Kae.

I have been so tired recently. My lower back hurts real bad now. I think it's because of Kerri. you see, she still sleeps in the baby swing, and we will carry her to the bed only after she's sound asleep. Which means I have to sit a lot. A lot, because she always fidgets even when she's asleep in the swing.

So I decided to go for a much needed massage. I decided upon Afond Spa as it's near my place and they have a great promotion for first timers.

It's housed at a very small cosy 2 storey unit at Holland Village. I guess I was lucky to get a good masseur on my first visit. You know how sometimes it hurts when they massaged your calf? Well, she did a good job. Her knead was strong but yet I didn't feel any pain. That's my benchmark for a good masseur.

So, in the end, I signed up a package with them. Dar said he saw it coming. But in my defense, I only sign up if I think their services are good. So there.

Kith Cafe and The Merry Men

There's this whole stretch of eateries at Robertson Quay area, and we usually eat at Ichibantei when we are there. The other eateries we've tried was Mondo mio and Aburiya. Today, we decided to go to the the other end of robertson Quay, and we ended up having coffee at Kith Cafe and dinner at The Merrymen.

Kith Cafe has 2 branches, the other is located at Park Mall. What I love about the place is that they are very kids friendly! They have an area for children to play at. With their play horses, their small selection of books and toys, you can be sure the kids will not mind staying there while the parents sit and sip their coffee.

And their coffee. Oh, it's really good. We ordered their iced cafe latte, and it's one of the strongest ICED latte I've had ever! It's even stronger than the hot latte that most cafes serve. Thumbs up!

And the girls had to have their chocolate fix. A pity though, their chocolate cupcake is just average tasting.

Since it was dinner time, we thought we should just hang at the area and have dinner at another eatery. And we decided on The Merrymen. We ordered their truffle fries, a pasta and a pizza to share. Their food is generally average. I just thought their pizza chould be better. It's a tad too dry and bland for my liking. I don't think I will head there for food again. Maybe just for drinks.

Kae's 3rd swimming lesson

Kaelyn started her swimming lessons 2 weeks ago, and mummy and Kerri tagged along on her 3rd lesson today. Yup, daddy is the one in charge of her swimming lessons, for a change.

Even though she loves to swim, she is her usual whiny nonchalant self when it's time to do warm up exercises.

Once in the water, her mood changed. She was smiling all the way. She is learning to balance her body in the water now, by using the board. Which she is not doing very well. Her body tends to shakes from side to side and not straight when she's swimming. Hope she can correct the posture soon.
