Cookie Decorating Activity @ Ikea

I brought the boys to Ikea yesterday. Coincidentally, there was a Cookie Decorating Activity going on. I signed up for them immediately for the 5pm slot. The timing was just right for them to catch a light snack after their SMALAND fun which ended at 4.30pm :)

This was the first time the boys had hands on doing such icing design in public... ...
Amos was seen biting off a portion of his cookie immediately after he sat down (see pic below). The in-charge heard that he was hungry (obviously the light snack was "too light" for him!!) & was so thoughful to pass an extra piece for him to eat LOL :D:D

Amos is the youngest among the group. The assistant came over to help him after seeing him squeezing a valley of icing on the cookie.... haha :D:D

As you can see, their designs were really "fantastic"!!!!! hehe ;p
Amos icing took a long time to dry up bcos of the enormous pool of icing... ...
They had their own creation for supper. YUM YUM :) ~~~~~~

Amos turned 4 !!

We celebrated Amos' 4th birthday yesterday :)
Although it was a small celebration, little Amos enjoyed himself tremendously... ...

We had lunch at Swensen, there was a long queue due to the 1 for 1 lunch offer. I din even know of the promotion, it was really worth i t!! :):)

Amos was so excited to head to Kidz Amaze.... we haven't been there for months but he could still rem the different passages leading to different slides. He had 2 hrs of non-stop fun & was reluctant to go home.

It was really late & I have to invite the birthday boy to return home to cut his birthday cake. :D:D

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY to Darling Amos
May you always be cheerful & lovable :):)

A little gift for Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival is usually celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th Lunar month, which is around this weekend. We bought an exquisite mooncake for my parent this Mid-Autumn Festival. The auspicious red leather casing is simply appealing! It displayed an elegantly designed four-tier box with individually packed double egg-yolk mooncake by Award winning Golden Peony. The casing can be used to place candies on Chinese New Year... ...such a thoughtful design from Conrad Centennial !! :)

Air Flown Dumplings from Saint Honore

We used to have Saint Honore Cake Shop many years back. I still rem my mum will queue up to get their egg tart. She will usually purchase them in a dozen. Its been so long since they move out of Singapore.

I'm surprised to see dumplings so nicely wrapped up & presentable from them... .... all the way from Hong Kong!!

The shape of the dumpling is more of a "right angled traingle" rather than those we usually see over here :)

Besides the meat, there are salted egg & peanuts. The whole combination is unique cos I hardly see the latter in a dumpling :)

The taste ... ... SUPERB !! :):)

MahJong Lovers ... ....

For mahjong players out there, I think it is a familiar word we hear when we wanna "eat" tiles from the player before you.

However, the following mahjong tiles you see below are really meant to be eaten.
They are made of white & dark chocolate. Hubs bought them from HK !! :)
I found "Fa Cai", "Ba Tong" & "Ba Wan" in the packaging :):)~~~~

Fry Egg???

My first venture to "fry egg" in a restaurant yesterday.



By the way, this is no ordinary egg !!

It is actually an ice-cream "egg" which I have created out of durian flavour ice-cream (for the egg yolk) & vanilla (for the white) !! So creative right? ;p

This is something extra ... ...for additional S$2, you get to make your own ice-cream from their generous varieties of flavour & toppings !! WOW !!


Yuki Yaki at Marina Square is a 3-in-1 buffet offering Steamboat, Teppanyaki & Ice-Cream (optional), totally new dining concept.

The tables are really spacious. It is equipped with two in-built stoves for steamboat and teppanyaki. Those who loves dessert will applause to the idea of self made ice-cream. The teppanyaki pan is thoroughly cleansed by the service staff and the thermostat adjusted to a cold temperature, ready for ice cream making. That's a cool way to end a satisfying meal :):)

Yummilicious Muffin from Chocolat N' Spice

My good friend, Yvonne, bought me these muffin recently. She always introduce yummy food to me. She said I will definitely like them !! True enough, they are superb!! :):)

The muffins are soft, moist and not too sweet. I heard that there are many different types of muffins available. The bestseller being the chocolate chip muffin, which you see in the picture. The crusty chocolate rice top and molten chocolate inside can be really addictive.

Very tender chicken & aromatic rice)

Genting/KL Trip : Part I

The boys went for their first oversea trip : 4D3N Genting/KL from 21-24 Nov 08 with my family. All off us boarded a 26 seater executive coach at 7am on 21 Nov 08 :)

The 2 boys kept themselves entertained with the onboard movie & games. Amos fell asleep half way through the journey...
Zac was excited with the trip & looked relax with his head set over his head :):)


We alighted at First World Hotel (Gentings at about 2pm+). However, were disappointed that the rooms will only be available at around 5pm. All of us waited at the lobby. I took the time to walk around & cannot help noticing a few chef working on a X'mas house made of bread & cream. It was amazing :):)

Our hotel rooms : -
First World Hotel :Rm 25-928 (Extremly small, we stayed there for 2 night)
Berjaya Times Square Hotel : Rm A18-08 (So spacious contrast to FW Hotel, too bad we only stayed there for a night !! I didn't even have a chance to sit down on the sofa..... LOL :D:D:D:D)

Photos I took with the boys mostly at Genting cos my camera failed half way. So didn't take much photos at KL *sob* :(:(

The 2 boys had a jolly good time at the Genting Theme Park & Cosmo World Theme Park at Times Square. It was endless fun to them!! :):)
