Multiparenting Cayen & Cayson

This morning, we started the day with brunch at A for Arbite. Just after we parked the car, we were pleasantly surprised at the scene that greeted us at the carpark. There was a big bunch of crows on one side and a family of cock and chickens on the other. Amazed, we lingered for a while to show Cayen the chickens up close. He was super thrilled.  We then proceed to the cafe that had am interesting menu, a selection of toys for kids, a kids menu and overall rather good service. I chose a salted egg crab meat pasta that was so-so as I didn't like the sauce/ herbs but I saw that the breakfast set was pretty good. My latte was a little too bitter.  All in, it's still a good place to visit , with ample seating and the convenience of a carpark right outside. The chickens were a bonus. Enough reason to come back again.  Managed to catch up with both our friends in one morning and that was good as October is going to be a super packed month of action, events and...

A lot of people says Singapore is boring. Actually I don't think so .. The key is whether are you adventurous enough to explore every nook and corner. I find there the motivation is much higher now with Cayen around as we would somehow find the energy to do so despite how long or tough the week has been. To start the day, we had wanted to have brunch. And due to my stubborn insistence to try something new (as life is short),  we landed at this Madame Pattiserie cafe at boat quay (courtesy of Ah Pa) that has very nice interior design and even a children area of toys. I really love the design but unfortunately as we didn't order much desserts, which were its signature, I didn't leave having a great rating on her other food. The burger was decent , the breakfast was alright but the spaghetti bolognaise left much to be desired. The strawberry cake was a little to sour for my liking. Overall, it's an interesting place to hang out, service is very good, I may go the...

I have been to a few cafés with a vintage setup but this beats them all with their variety of display. It's not difficult to feel like I might be in a Singapore museum. The stuff in there were really old school, from the rattan chairs to the many Vespa on display. With the chandeliers hanging along the bar, there's a sense of eclectic chic. Also, as the cafe was tucked amongst greenery, the ambience is also rather unique : vintage meets nature. Their drinks menu also features local Food and Drinks (think Bandung, Milo dinosaur, lemon barley, nasi lemak) favourites on top of the usual western fare. However, do note that the price tag are going to be quite hefty for such local delights. For instance, I had a mixed fruit juice and it costs $12. Da had a milo milk shake and it costs around $6. We didn't have much food except fried luncheon meat fingers and that was very addictive indeed. Overall, it's a great chill out place that's good if you want to get out ...
