Mr L wanted to bring the whole family out for the Day.. I will assume it i will be breakfast, and that is it…. Turns out… it is a full day event.

Boy or boy, lucky i brought enough diapers.

Managed to get all kids ready and left the house at 10am ish. I did all by myself without help.

First stop.. Dim Sum. Easy choice for all. Tim Ho Wan (添好运) @ Aperia Mall. This Michelin star dim sum joint at Aperia Mall is better as the crowd is very much manageable. Less than 5 mins we care able to have a table.

While waiting for our food, let mummy test out her new Samsung Note 9. My birthday present from Mr L.

Food arrived, busy eating, tend to the kids needs. Hence did not take a good shot of the the food.

Our favorite and their signature dishes. Baked BBQ Pork Bun, Prawn Dumplings, Prawn and Pork Dumplings, BBQ Pork Rice Roll, Stream Sponge Cake, Pork Ribs with Yam and Black Beans, Pan-fried Radish Cake and Glutinous Rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf. These are all our favorites.

Baked BBQ Pork Bun – Family favorite. A must try.

Pan-fried Radish Cake – Mr & Mrs, Queenie’s favorite. Recommend to try

Glutinous Rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf – Mr & Mrs’s
favorite. The taste is just nice in term of the sauce and the rice texture.

After the sumptuous brunch, we head to Cold Storage for a short shopping trip to top up the grocery and took a few candid shots with the Christmas deco.

Next stop, Singapore Art Museum. (SAM). Mr L decided to take public transport today, so we left the car at Aperia Mall. We had a good time there attended 2 workshop. And most important fact:

• Free entry for Singaporean and Singapore PRs
• Free workshops for the kids to attend

OK the kids are hungry, what is next? Food again la.

We had afternoon tea at the Tanuki at kapok @ National Design Centre

We tried this before at their other branch in Orchard Central. Their food is yummy. This time we tried the, SPAM WHAM! , Red lemon cheese velvet cake, wham! fries, TRUFFLE YAKINIKU ( donburi) and Mojito.

We tried our best to minimize the kids to use electronic gadget. so they will have papers, pencils in their bags so they can draw and keep themselves entertain. Of course, we does give in some times. As long as we parents know when to step in to set the limits. Matthew is the only one that is tough to handle, so Mr L will teach him a lesson when he is out of line, even in the public.

Managed to take a few shot outside the restaurant, good place to chill. Definitely, recommend you to try their Donburi set. Yummy!

A quick window shopping spree, at Bugis Junction. Do I enjoy it? NO WAY. It just make me remember why we avoid town every weekend. CROWDS everywhere. Does these people have other places to go?? Obviously not…

And the kids dun give us the time to shop. Plus the 2 younger old is way passed their nap time. Grouchy monsters on the loose, to prevent a meltdown from the kids, we divert their attention to take train.

Final stop, Paulaner Bräuhaus. We miss the German beer and can’t get enough of it since our Nov/Dec 2018 Europe trip. Can you blame us?

Kids playing with little toys, bought by A for our recent trip in Oct 2018 – Taiwan. Beer, sausages, and the famous crispy pork knuckle

I can’t hear the “kazi kazi” sound at all from the pork knuckle skin. I think the closest close I’m about to hear is my teeth breaking. Yes no kidding it is hard. I have not complaint to the beer and sausages and whipped potatoes.

After the whole food we are off to the take train to Aperia Mall. Thanks Mr L to plan all these for the family, and the kids are well behaved.

Except for Matt in the morning at Tim Ho Wan. But Mr L took care of it. Queenie keep asking if we can do it more often.

Considering her suggestions and estimate for the things we have done:

• Tim Ho Wan – S$50
• Taxi – S$9
• Tanuki – $70
• Train – Kids below 0.9m travel for free. S$7
• Paulaner – S$90
• Parking – S$2.50

Maybe not every weekend, every quarter we can still consider. S$230 can mean a lot for some family.

But a great day spent with the kids.
