New Hangout

It's not really a new hang out. More like an old cafe revisited. And the cafe is Prive.

Prive Cafe now has a really mini kids play area. There is a playhouse, and 2 slides for the kids to enjoy while having their meals. Because of this, it makes dinner so much more enjoyable for the parents, namely me.

But while they are gearing towards to be more kids friendly, their food really disappointed us this time round.

Dar ordered the Steak Frites and they tasted like they had just been defrosted.

And I ordered the Seafood Marinara Spaghetti to share with Kaelyn. Just look at the pathetic portion. For a price of $24, I felt that it was a total rip off. Kae can finish the whole bowl and not be full! In the end, that ended up as her dinner. Of course I had all the seafood.

Facial has never felt so good

It's been a while since I had my facial, so I called and managed to get a last minute slot for facial. Lucky me! Maybe it's because I am the first customer, somehow this time round, the facial felt so good. Maybe the therapist still have loads of energy to massage my face. Hah! For your information, I have my facial at Decleor Institute located at Raffles Hotel. More deatils are be viewed here.

I was very sloppily dressed. And I felt like an auntie. I think the reason for that it that I was wearing my spectacles. I always feel older when I'm wearing my glasses.

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.

Afond Spa

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.
