Privé Cafe, Marina at Keppel Bay - Celebrating our 6th Anniversary

This weekend was not as busy as our usual routine. My daughter will not be having her Speech class and that means we have more time to do something else for our family bonding. Hubby and me will be marking our 6th anniversary this coming Monday and he will be working till night.  So we thought maybe it's a good idea to celebrate it in advance.  

We have booked a table in Privé Cafe at Keppel Bay. I have seen this place as I was searching for a unique dining experience. I am still into cafe hopping, high teas and buffets, but this time I am also on the lookout for places where my kids will enjoy and we will have a new fun experience.

What's cooler than having your dinner while overlooking those fancy yachts? Not only the "boats" amazed my kids but my hubby was also motivated to buy one. lol =p

SOD Cafe at Ci Yuan CC (Hougang)

Today we visited our new home to check on the progress of the renovation. After that we visited the nearby community center. We looked around for the function rooms that I can book for baby M's 1st birthday party. As of today, I am not sure yet if we are going to hold his party in Singapore or in my home country. But then again advance planning is always my thing. I don't want to rush preparing all the details and stress myself out.

Along the way we passed by this cafe which is just inside the CC. This CC has quite good food choices and facilities. There is Subway, a 24-hour  Hawker center with 40 stalls and SOD Cafe. There's even a KTV Center, Fitness Gym, Dance studio and Culinary studio. Cool eh!

Back to SOD Cafe. I've been curious about this cafe since we started visiting the place but we never dined in. Maybe because we always had our lunch before visiting our new home. Our home is just a few blocks from the CC.

I told hubby that we will just order some light snacks because we are not that hungry.

Artease Cafe at Serangoon Central

My cafe hopping is fast becoming a habit and I should slow down before it turns into an addiction. Having found a list of cafes around Singapore categorized by location, my quest will be much easier. I saved the list in my phone so that whenever I'm on the move, it is easier to locate a nearby cafe. Thanks to Joey Asher. Click here to visit his list and also thanks to CafeHopping page which inspires me to indulge more in cakes, sweets, savouries and coffee.

This time I am trying out Artease Cafe at Serangoon Central. I am visiting one school for baby Ish near NEX mall and this cafe is just a few blocks away. Perfect timing to get my caffeine fix. From NEX mall, the cafe is just a walking distance. I got a bit confused actually because it is in Block 261 but the nearby blocks were under renovation so I can't find my way out easily. The cafe is also along kopitiam and an express KFC counter. It is at the corner of the building. Good thing that I've Googled first how the facade of this cafe looks like. I almost missed it.

Streats HongKong Cafe at City Square Mall

We had a tiring day yesterday. It was my baby's 2nd birthday and we went to POLW Sentosa. After that we visited the temple near Little India. Tired and starving we went to the nearby City Square mall to eat dinner. This restaurant caught my attention just because it is the first one I saw when we entered the mall and the word cafe was like flashing when I'm looking at it... Yup! cafe hopping mode on...

 

Bricks 'N' Cubes Cafe at The Cathay

Family movie date night. Yesterday night was just a test drive or should I say a test movie watching for my soon to be 2 year old baby.. It's been a year since I last saw a movie on the big screen, Oh how boring is that, I know right?

We are not sure if she is ready to come with us to the cinema early at this age and to find out,  I booked a couple seat at Grand Cathay for the movie "How to Train your Dragon 2". As expected, before the movie starts she is already asking me to go out. Good thing that I was able to keep her busy with popcorns and a few of her handy toys. Once in a while she will watch and look at the movie  (she likes dragons somehow) but she really didn't find it interesting. Unless maybe it is Peppa Pig or Mickey Mouse on the screen. hehehe..

Since we were already at The Cathay, I decided to try out Bricks 'N' Cubes Cafe located at the second floor. Start of my cafe hopping.. yey!  The feature that attracts me to try it out is the play area for kids with lego toys. It was a sure hit to my baby who is always curious and exploring.

Vintage Tea Party at House, Dempsey Hill

There's always something about cakes, tea/coffee and chatting with girlfriends that brings the happy mood. Yesterday was a fun day for me. I had a date with my bff Ms. T and we went to a Vintage Tea Party at House located in Dempsey Hill. 

Recently I was into vintage tea cups and while browsing the Vintage Tea Loft online store, I saw their post about House and that's where I came to know about the Vintage High Tea Party. I've been wanting to try it out and finally I booked a table for two.  

 

 

The Vintage Tea Party only happens during Thursdays and Fridays from 3-5.30PM. Since it was Thursday and daddy K has to go to work, I have to bring baby Ish with me. I'm a bit worried that I will not totally eat in peace when I'm with my "attention-demanding" toddler but I don't want to pass this chance to catch up with my bfriend.
