Barney and Hippopotamus @ Marina Square

It's just another family event for this June. We brought our kids to watch Barney Show at Marina Square. Well, needless to say..they were very excited over it but not us. We saw parents queuing for two hours prior the show starts. Those who can get into the entry were entitle to take photo with Barney and friends after the show ended. Well, as for us, we decided to go for a good lunch before the show starts at 4.00pm.

We decided to try Hippopotamus, a french restaurant at #01-204/205 (our first time) with a cozy and warm  interior atmosphere.


Our orders were two sets of sirlion steak set lunch come with a choice of sauce and 3 side dishes. Choices of 5 types of sauces are available to choose - barbecue, Béarnaise, stewed shallot, pepper and Roquefort cheese and choice of side dishes - fries, potato gratin, green beans, baked potato, ratatouille or basmati rice.
We also ordered a kid set meal - nuggets and chips with a choice of drinks and ice-cream and a bottle of Summerfield California Chardonnay 2008 to pair with our steak.

Once settled, we were served with complimentary bread but we didn't enjoy the bread much as it was really tough and dry to taste. The steaks are quite fresh except a bit saltish in taste. The nuggets were very tender and chips are cripsy too. By the end of the meal, we were quite satisifed with the food with reasonable price. The staffs were friendly and helpful. Can try!

Mother's Day


My 1st Mother's Day Card from my son - Ling Zhexian at the age of 3.5. It is so heart warming and sweet of him that I really feel appreciated and proud to be a Mother

This year, we brought my mother-in-law to dine at Zhou's Kitchen (located at Square 2 #01-73, 10 sinaran Drive Singapore 307506) on Eve of Mother's Day. The restaurant looks squeezy and it gives me an impression of a Typical Hong Kong Style "Cha Chang Ting" (茶餐厅) with more stylish interior design.

We order a few selection of dish to share. The food they serve was indeed delicious. It is worth a visit!
