Changi Airport Jewel Visit, 7th September 2020

 We had video shoot here and followed by company lunch at Itacho Sushi, Jewel. 

I arrived early, before 10am. It was v quite and empty so I could take nice pictures.

Melon Ice Cream and Yuzu Cheese Cream Pie

 I personally like the yuzu cream cheese pie. It was salty and sweet with yuzu fragrant in one bite.

King of Fried Rice, Kopitam Square, Sengkang

I visited the stall last weekend. The q during lunch was long. So I came again few days after around 9pm. It was close and the sign displayed was "SOLD OUT".

The q was long even before the stall opens at 11.30am. Total waiting period from 11am to 2pm was around 3 hours. Why do people queue at this stall? It is because it can achieve the same taste as Din Tai Fund fried rice and sells it half the price.

Basically the rice was good. The selling point is the pork chop. It was tender, correct done-ness and marinated well. However if I need to wait 3 hours, may be I rather eat the Tin Dai Fung one. My time is more precious than just $6 savings.

Balestier Bak Chor Mee at 205 Compassvale Lane

 Where got nice food in SengKang? Almost none. But recently I saw in facebook someone posted nice food in Sengkang Punggol. This BCM happened to be under my block. Why not I try it, right? 

The queu was long while the rest of the stalls had no queue. However, the taste was not up to my standard BCM like TaiHwa behind ICA building. May be I must eat there instead of pack it and eat at home. It came with a fried spring roll skin. I gave the gizzards to my son. He likes gizzards.

XO Fried Kwetiao at Kopitiam SengKang Square

 It's Saturday. It's time to eat outside. My plan was to eat The King of Fried Rice at Kopitiam Sengkang Square. But when I arrived, the queue was so long and waiting time was around 1 hour 30 mins. Forget it.

I went to few stall beside it and found this XO Fried Kwetiao for $4. It turned quite nice. I just didn't enjoy peeling the shell of the two prawns. It tasted good but a bit greasy. The portion was enough for an adult. I think next time I don't mind having this again, value for money.

Teacher's Day Celebration, 3rd September 2020

 He chose to wear Spiderman costume because his friends (YuHong and PoAn) also wore Spidey costume.

Dian Xiao Er, 30th Aug 2020

 I have been sick for days. I also think I may worry about so many things in life. So just loosen a bit today by taking Marco to eat nice food.Marco today has been behaving very well also. I never shout at him today.

My initial plan was to go to china town. I saw the sun was v strong and I was not well also. So waterway point or Compass One were best option to go.  I gave Marco few options, ate chasiu noodle, sushi express or duck. He chose duck which is the most expensive option.

Nevermind, today is to reward his good behaviour and giving him control. He always says that he cannot choose. He wants to have control. Ok, I told him to choose.

He said that was the best duck he ate in his life. He said many times to me. He really likes the duck. I will bring him again next time. He ate almost whole bowl of rice with lotus roots and duck. He separated the skin from the duck meat. He ate the skin first and then the meat with the rice. 

He kept praising how nice the duck was. He said his favorite part of the duck was the skin. He also talk on how white the lotus roots were compared when we cook ourselves at home. I think this is because we didn't dip into saltwater, so it was oxidized. 

After eating, he showed me his tummy, it was big. he said he wanted to vomit because he ate too full. I think you understand as a mother, when you see your kid has good appetite, you feel happier. I feel glad also because our taste buds are similar, so I don't need to argue on what restaurant to go.

He stood quite long time at the ipad display stand, playing his game.
