Flower Dome: Fun Times with Nursery Rhymes

I decided to treat my cousins to a visit at Flower Dome as the theme is Fun Times with Nursery Rhymes and June holiday just started last week. For Passion card member, there is 10% discount.

We were excited to see the flower display as we get to see new species and learn more about it. Also looking at plants and beautiful flowers is really therapeutic and relaxing. I intend to bring my parents to see the flowers since there is free entry for senior citizens above 60 years old.

Breakfast at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf

There are many Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf stores in Singapore and they serve good coffee and wide variety of breakfast all day. My favourite branch is at Kallang Leisure Park highly recommended by my friend who is also my colleague. Indeed, they are generous with the smoked salmon for caesar salad. I also love their egg and tandoori chicken wrap as the wrap is crispy hot with delicious fillings. 

I also went to the Suntec city branch but the salmon is really pittance small and the egg is not runny in Salmon brioche egg ben. Maybe next time, I'll try the Tampines branch.

I prefer the runny egg.

At Suntec City branch, the salmon is pittance compared to Kallang Leisure Park.

 Brek 'O Day at Kallang Leisure Park. Not recommended as the scramble egg was bland.

 At Kallang Leisure park branch, they are generous with smoked salmon to the caesar salad thus this is my favourite place to eat salmon caesar salad.

 Tandoori chicken wrap is very delicious and they served the wrap hot. 

Building MySg Lego

Indeed this year is special for Singapore. For the first time in 50 years, all students and teachers in Singapore will get a special commemorative Singapore50 Lego set of three iconic Singapore landmarks specially customized and designed by Lego. These three landmarks include the iconic Changi Airport, Cavenagh Bridge and the Gardens by the Bay. The public can only purchase these SG50 Lego set after National Day (9 August). 
Apparently for this set, you can only build one landmark at any one time. 

Which one will you build?

The Little Prince Sculptures at The Fullerton Hotel

I was enjoying a solo night stroll from Tajong Pagar MRT station to Cityhall MRT station after attending the MAAD (Market of Artists and Designers) at the Red Dot Design Museum. On the way to Cityhall MRT station, I passed by the Fullerton Hotel to use their clean and posh toilet and was delighted to see The Little Prince sculpture near the entrance.

Written by French aviator and writer,Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (1900–1944),The Little Prince first published in 1943, is an inspiring story of how the Little Prince discovers the true meaning of life and his encounter with the stranded pilot. The Little Prince shared with the stranded pilot his encounters with different people like The King, The Businessman, The Conceited Man inhabited in different planets.  

My favourite quote from The Little Prince,

"And now here is my secret a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye".

Seasonal Menu Crustacean Combo at Fish & Co

From March to June this year, Fish & Co is offering seasonal catch 3-in-1 combos namely the Crustacean combo and Omega-3 Power -up combo(mussels, cod and salmon). I had the crustacean combo which comprises a slipper lobster, three prawns and scallops. I like this dish very much as they already scooped out the slipper lobster meat and all you need to do is just dump the empty shell to a empty plate. Under the slipper lobster is creamy smooth mashed potato which taste really good. I be back for more.

Creamy sauce flows from the centre of mashed potato when I scoop it. 

Prawn salad is one of my favourite dishes at Fish & Co.
