Finally A Saturday Night’s Off for Mummy

For a long while, I have not enjoyed a weekend off-day from kids. Finally, decided to declare a Saturday night’s off for myself.

The boys protested :”Huh…. why you don’t want to eat with me?” and “Unfair! Where are you going without us?” Usually I will soften my heart and feel guilty but this time we have decided to take a short break to celebrate this special day of our lives — Our Wedding Anniversary.

The first place that strikes my mind, to have a private and peaceful moment for this special day is of course my favourite sea spot in Singapore - The East Coast! This vicinity has always been my favourite hangout..be it my ex-school, shopping mall, eating outlets, chalets, cycling, kite flying or simply just strolling along the beach. This was the area that I started my commitment to my Special One and so the memories went back a long way…….
There are a few seafood restaurants by the seaside and we picked our usual Long Beach Seafood Restaurant.


I could not resist sinking my teeth into the Chilli Crabs, the irresistable clams and prawns, our favourite hor fun, coconut juice and to complete our stomachs with black glutinous rice and ice-cream.
Seafood hor fun
Yummy prawns
Tasty clams
Coconut juice
Our all-time favourite - chilli crab
The food was good, the view is good and the whole atmosphere peaceful and relaxing. To help with digestion, it is healthy to take a stroll along the beach amidst the beautiful sunset and cooling breeze.

I feel satisfied dining at the seafood restaurants here and is definitely recharged just smelling the fresh air surrounding the sea especially after the rain. Of course, I have not forgotten to capture some pictures to share with the boys:)

After reading, I learn that I cannot be a “Superwoman” in managing so much loads on my shoulder and learning how to establish healthy boundaries will help in my life.


The Food Coach

Darren seems to be uninterested in food recently. His eyes light up only when he sees potato chips, french fries, biscuits and of course his favourite apples.

While sourcing for interesting food recipes, hopefully to find something to improve his appetite, I visited http://www.thefoodcoach.com.au.

Must say that it is a very informative site and found many interesting recipes, and tips and tricks of food selection there. It features videos on how to choose a fresh apple, avacado and many others. This knowledge is definitely very useful to me especially when I have to do my weekly marketing.

Will remember the tips learned and try some of the recipes there.

This poster, publicising a “Food and Science Fair ” at the Singapore Science Centre, caught my attention while dining near the Kallang Old Stadium. I went through the website for further details and extracted this information.
