My Waterway @ Punggol

After much mentioned by people around us, we decided to bring the girls to Punggol Waterway. But the cab drivers don’t seem to know where exactly is the park. We circled around Punggol area for a while before we finally sighted something familiar on another blogger’s blog. I think it’s a viewing stage.

Nice view, but still quite a bit of work in progress.

From here, moving to the right, we will pass by the Heritage Walls, with bronze pictures allowing people to relive the memories of the past.

The weather was scorching, yet the girls are enjoying new things for a moment.

Finally we reached the 'water playground’…

But where is the water??

After a hot afternoon’s walk, the best refreshing thing I can provide for my darlings is one of their favourite, chocolate ice-cream!

Seb’s Bristo & The Playhouse

We have heard of Rochester Park for the longest time. While planning for another trip to Queensway (Papa’s favourite place for sports equipment), Kless suggested this playhouse place. Since it was quite near to my intended destination, let’s go!

Not disappointed at all, Seb’s Bristo & The Playhouse is a the perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon. To prove my point, the restaurant even played the “Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars.

It’s almost empty on a Monday afternoon except for 2 families there. I think this would serve as a good place for a private party of 30-50.

Of course, almost everything we do nowadays have to revolve around the kids. The main reason why we choose this restaurant is for The Playhouse. Located just besides the dining area, it’s a bungalow-turned-playhouse area just for kids age 0-12. Rates are a bit steep, but considering the fact that parents can comfortably eat a meal and enjoy some serenity, it’s a low cost to pay.

Kids’ all time favourite, the slide.

Joey loves to play cooking. I think it started when we had ‘cooking mama’ on ipad.

DSC_0239

She set up a feast for me and prohibited me to take any photo, but I still did. I think my girl will grow up to be good wife and mother.

DSC_0279

Jayne on the other hand was just happy to linger around the slide area and play feeding the baby game.

DSC_0276

The playhouse was filled with fun and interesting items. No wonder the girls were so reluctant to leave after a full hour of play.

While the girls are playing inside, both Kless and I were just enjoying our wonderful lunch.

Mine was prawn aglio olio, very nice!

DSC_0232

Kless ordered some kids meal becos she wanted some fries. But according to her, the fish fillet is very fresh and delicious. I think you can see it by her expression.

DSC_0233

Scones. 4 for only S$3.00, coupled with the raspberry jam, fantastic!

DSC_0226

If you prefer to play outdoor, there is an outdoor trampoline for kids. Best of all, it’s FOC.

Be sure to visit this place. I know for sure, we will be going back again pretty soon.

Just love to see the 2 sisters bonding while growing up. I pray that they will always hold each other’s hand no matter what.

Steeple’s Deli – Chocolate Fudge

Have I recommend this fudge before? This has to be the best chocolate fudge I have eaten so far. Sold only in this small secluded shop in Tanglin Shopping Centre. Just in case you don’t even know where is Tanglin Shopping Centre, it’s situated between Orchard Parade Hotel and St Regis.

My recommendation. Strong dark chocolate wrap with sweet marshmallow. Heaven!

DSC_0137

Coupled it with a cup of black coffee. Nice.

DSC_0144

What makes all these a level higher, is of course the 2 ladies with me.

It’s getting more and more difficult to have some decent shots of Joey & Jayne. When have they decided that such poses are nice?

DSC_0046

DSC_0049

At least a pose to show both their new swim wear from BKK.

It’s a special day cos Grandpa also came along since it’s so near his place.

DSC_0064

He actually tried the yellow slide but I was too slow to capture a photo.

DSC_0087

For just $2 (adult) and $1 (child) on weekends, this is definitely a very cheap form of fun.
