Bringing the nephews to Jurong Bird Park, so we decided to start our day at Toast Box.

The boys had toast while I had Mee Rebus. Both the Peanut Butter & Floss are on thick toast. The toast is crisp on the outside yet soft inside. Peanut butter is thick & flavorful; floss toast is a bit bland but the condense milk below is sweet. Mee Rebus sauce is a little bland also

Brought my nephews to the Bird Park together my 2 other friends & their kids. After exploring the park & watching some shows, we head over to Birds of Paradise to let the kids enjoy the water play. While the kids are at the water play, we adults rested our feet at Ben & Jerry's & order waffle for sharing

The waffle is quite disappointing as it it dry & hard.It's probably being left on the table for quite sometime while the one & only staff serves the other customers. It is also cold when it's being served to us.

However, the ice cream is good. We had the signature Chunky Monkey & the Clusterfluff (Peanut butter). Both were a little sweet but it's rich in flavor

I was on annual leave on Friday as I have a one-night stay-cation at Marina Bay Sands, so I met up with Angeline for lunch at 鼎泰豐 Fried Rice with Shrimps & Eggs. Rice very fragrant & shrimp nicely cookedStir Fry Nai Bai with Garlic. NaiBai is crunchy & not over cookedSliced Duck in Crispy Spring Onion Pastry. Slightly oily but the smoked duck is quite tasty.Steamed Angled Gourd & Shrimp DumplingsThe vegetable in the dumpling has got quite a weird taste & the filling is quite little. Apart from the weird tasting vegetable, there is hardly any broth in the dumplings.

Went shopping at Marina Square with Angeline & suggested resting our feet at St Marc Cafe, but I suggested Lady M since both of us have not tried before. There isn't any queue, so we quickly settled down within minutesCheckers which is quite moist & fluffy & rich in chocolate, the staff should have cut the cake nicely. The tart was slanting to to one corner it looks like it'll collapse anytime Tarte a la Mangue (Mango tart). Shortcrust quite buttery & passion fruit curd is sour. Mango is also sour (very sour) I had quite a hard time finishing it! Lime juice hoping to ease the heat from the hot weather, but the lime juice is quite sour & somehow it tastes like Peel Fresh's Lime juice

Birthday celebration with the Multiply girls. This marks the last birthday celebration of the year. I initially wanted the lunch at The White Rabbit but it was booked for a wedding (sad), thus I changed my choice of restaurant to Sumiya Charcoal Grill Izakaya (formally known as Kuriya Penthouse).

5 of us ordered a set of Yokozuna Set (3-4 pax @ $168) & a set of Sekiwake Set (2-3pax @ $68). Honestly, I really couldn't remember what item is from which set cos there's simply too much food being servedPart of the meal is Sashimi (5 kinds of Moriwase). Apart from being nicely presented, the sashimi are very fresh & sweet.
