Capella Singapore 14th Mar 21

Capella Mar21 – To celebrate Mommy’s Birthday!

The experience started way before the scheduled stay. From exchanges between the Culturist the various activities were lined up prior to our stay. 24 hr prior to check in we received an email from the hotel according us of an early check in at 1030am which was great since the first activity we were going to was the Scavenger Hunt at 10am.

We rose bright and early and strolled up closer to 10. 

Turning into The Knolls, Sentosa.

We take the elevator from the basement to Level 3 where the Lobby Lounge and Living Room are located.

The JTwins relax and sip on the Capella welcome drink while Daddy checks us in…

Hunt began fairly on time with the Culturist rolling out the treasure map rolled up nicely in a scroll.

 

[Spoiler alert] If you need a picture of the Scavenger hunt map, feel free to click here for the Capella Scavenger Hunt map!

After 6 questions and a mad rush around the sprawling grounds (Art Gallery, Grand Ballroom featuring Singapore’s 1st circular, pillarless ballroom with a famous ceiling glass tube centrepiece, multiple art installations and heritage flora throughout the vicinity, including the renown Johor fig!) we rendezvous’d back at the flag off point for our final clue which was to locate none other than the mascot, Paul the peacock (no not just any other peacock but a stuffed fluffy one snuck inconspicuously around the gardens by the front foyer. And very quickly post orders from our very competitive J Twin Mommy we split up, combed the area and soon enough found one tucked away at the bottom of the tree.

  

With the bird in hand (literally) we kids raced back to the porch and claimed the 1st prize, a box of Capella-baked choc-chip cookies (as consolidation for the runner-ups) and as if that weren’t sufficient a $50 dining voucher. A sweet victory. To which the kids quipped in unison. And of course we got to keep the (stuffed) blue birds.

“Best hotel ever!” quipped the JTwins. And even before seeing the room!

We wait out the next hour basking in the LivingRoom with all day snacks and drinks equipped with alfresco option on both side wings which doubles up as additional capacity.

The lounge dragon tells us there is the option to head to the beach and promptly issues us temp access card in case we didnt have our keycards on hand thereafter provides us directions to the private access to the beach. Note this is a private walkway access to the same publicly-accessible Palawan Beach. Access is by registration only which can be done online or in our case by the hotel-allocated wrist bands with slated timings. It was a little adventure trying to navigate our way thru the ‘secret garden’, past the famed 3-layered pool, and even having opportunity to spot Paul the peacock live in the feather!

Tier 1…

Tier 2…

And the 3rd which is more like a little private lap pool… we eventually spent most of our pool time at the 2nd which was more kid-friendly and had some inflatables, including our favourite Unicorn!

Peak-a-boo Paul the peacock…

Eventually we arrived at the secret gate and made our way down some flights of stairs!

We hung around only a bit trying to collect seashells, an activity which soon became apparent to us was almost non existent given the sheer magnitude of folks crowding around the shady spots like hugely scarce real estate.

Back to the room which was nicely situated on the 5th floor overlooking the south China Sea. This was an upgrade to the Sentosa Suite, from the lead in Premier Garden/Deluxe Ocean facing room (thanks to AMEX which Daddy kept quipping!). We were escorted to the room and given a nice 1st timers welcome orientation around the sprawling property (which we thankfully also got acquainted with thru our little scavenger hunt earlier in the morning).

Room was situated on the 5th Floor on the East Wing overlooking the oval.

Room was setup with a king bed with a separate living area.

Amenities were from the famed Aesop line up, equipped with 2 bathrooms and a nice tub by the window with a magnificent view of the sea.

Very well thought out amenities (care pack on Capella drawstring bag, separate beach kit with insect repellent to ward off those pesky sand flies and mozzies at dusk), and a fully stocked fridge bar which guest relations mentioned was complimentary (note the magic word) and could be restocked once per stay (not that we requested that anyway since there was already an abundance). Mommy was visibly excited by the Aesop amenities…

 

The room also has an accessible balcony with panoramic views – and electronically controlled curtains /blinds across full length windows. Perfect for a birds eye view of the canopy of the Pulai, Angsana and Johor fig trees, the fame 3 tiered pools and Palawan/Siloso beaches as well as the sea lined with vessels on layup at the anchorage.

There was also a long bench table across the bedroom which was a great setup for any Work from Home or in our case the customary Jtwins prep time…

Not to mention there was also the balcony literally with a bird’s eye view of the South China Sea.

 

One of the things Daddy’s a sucker for – our little thank you cards! 🙂

 

Once that was out of the way we headed back over to the Living Room.

Chilling over afternoon tea with (what else) but tea and butter scones and our usual favs AJ and OJ with less ice. AGAIN, SO MUCH to eat.

 

As there was still some time left before our Boba Making Session (Build Your Own Boba, BYOB), we headed back to our room and lo and behold were greeted with a surprise titbit platter (with muruku, bacon sandwich bites and More scones!). But the punchline was actually a birthday cake for Mummy and Sweet and Choc for Didi and I (customized and emblazoned with our own names in chocolate of course) – aww they actually remembered! How decadent! Did I mention they even had the ensemble decked out with a gift scented candle and fancy birthday card (yes nicer than the cheapo one daddy rewrote and regifted mummy from last year! Yay he thought we didn’t notice. (How sneaky!) though Daddy kept chiming about the relevance of the 2 oranges given its no longer Chinese New year. Anyway we could agree nonetheless the Capella folks were just so nice.

By 1 we were at Bob’s Bar getting seated for our BYOB session. Alas, that was the same Aunty (Jie Jie) who facilitated our Scavenger Hunt earlier in the morning who was now running the Boba session. She could really remember our names (plus points for that for sure!) and sat us down at one of the designated tables laid out with Boba and tea.

  

Next up was the Little Stars Cullinary Experience held at Chef’s Table, a little functional kitchenette + cosy dining setup across the alfresco terrace from Bob’s Bar. No drama on the mad rush akin to what we were probably spotted doing to clinch top spot in scavenger hunt and we were in good time so a short stroll across was now the order for the day. Guess who we would bump into again?

She offers us our chef’s hat (daddy says its called Toque Blanche in his rubbish French from Fancy Nancy!) and apron which Didi was initially hesitant to don but did after much cajoling and boy did he look like a cutesy pie.

 

I think Didi and I really enjoyed the session, that little maestro in the making…

Next up was Sustainable Art and Craft at the Sales Gallery, not the Art Gallery unbeknown to us!

Here’s where Mommy was really hands on – like in her own studio…

While walking there though we walk past the ballroom which was all setup for the afternoon movie matinee the next day (we were on the wait list for this screening of Jumanji 2 – The Next Level) which though didn’t come thru since everyone else ahead of us showed up on movie day, was still neat despite not having out own teepee since the nice chaperon still handed us hot popcorn and drinks, and to mention him apologising profusely for something he really wasn’t particularly responsible for. Note pix were taken the day before!

Back in our room chillaxing over our fav Disney+ after Art and Craft workshop (yes we dig this – way cooler than Netflix these days) when Ding Dong the bell rings. Daddy gets the door and after a couple of exchanges tell us it was a turn down service. Wow. Nothing short of a Wow there since despite Daddy turning down the turndown service he didn’t turn down rock candy and more waters (still water). Didi and I with our own tele despite watching the same Trolls movie!

 

Note customary Mummy Koa (Koala) and friends with their newly acquainted Capella natives Paul and Paul-ine the peacocks (or peahen?).

Breakfast at the Knolls was noting short of marvellous. Great service, servers attentive to details and definitely no cheapskate prefix on limitation(s) on order quantity.

      

We even noticed at one point a baby in the table adjacent to us crying inconsolably. Despite attempts by her parents to pacify her it seemed futile one of the female servers rushed over with what looked like 2 Paul-line the peacock(hen) plushies and as if it were magical the crying stop as abruptly as it started.

Cry or no cries we thoroughly enjoyed breakkie.

Only Downside was the breakfast with peacocks only happened with our plush given there was neither sight nor sound of our feathered friends (we were told they usually frolic around from 9-10ish) so perhaps today being Monday meant the cocks/hens sleeping in a bit more to beat the blues.

We did take a stroll around the lush gardens after that hefty meal…

Taking some pix around the Trump-Kim memorial plaque (Daddy says it was a really historic moment and this commemorates that meeting).

Lunch was ordered from Knolls which the server then carted over in a mobile food heater tucked beneath the push cart turned into table and plated nicely in non other than the Capella fashion (Daddy said they exceeded expectations again since he was expecting this either in a takeaway box or at best a food tray!).

 

On the way to the car after (extended) checkout we catch on a ride in a buggy and what do we spot? None other than a lonesome peacock probably looking for his gang. Well at least he was following the traffic direction!

All in stellar amenities, well thought out kids activities, marvellous surroundings and impeccable service makes Capella Singapore a win for fun-filled family staycation with the coveted JTwins’ seal of approval. We’ll be back!

Parkroyal on Beach over CNY21

Happy Chinese New Year!
In view of the current restrictions on travel and not being able to head up North Daddy and Mummy must’ve thought what better idea than to book ourselves into a hotel for staycation! To say CNY is a tad different this year would be a bit of an understatement – no fire-crackers, fireworks and the usual festivities!

And so, with a rather scaled down reunion dinner we head home to pack our overnight bags (albeit for 2 nights this time given the nicely timed extended weekend!). Any by the way Daddy says this year is extra special because Valentine’s Day happens on the 2nd day of CNY! 🙂

Having prior to this checked out the options (of burning Daddy’s AMEX $800 travel credits, which he muttered on several occasions was just a down right terrible deal with a staycay over dialed up prices), or Bonvoy/HH or Shangri-la Jade discount, the grown-ups must’ve decided to make a mattress run on Discovery (we do have a firm stay, or so Daddy says at Capella in mid-Mar over Mummy’s birthday) – hence intent to get status matched to Discovery Plat (with HH and Bonvoy Gold, both of which come with Amex Plat).
Refer to our JTwins sign up link here with a current Member-get-Member deal!).

And so we have it, on CNY morning after the JTwins  and Daddy have our weekly tennis time, we make sure hammies have sufficient food and water for the long weekend, utter our goodbyes to our pet hamsters Hannah & Harriett of 2 months, and head out to the Parkroyal at Beach Road.

As usual we head in for an early check-in in hopes to avoid the crowds. Check in was a breeze, though at about 1-ish there were already a handful of folks waiting to check-in ahead of us. The check-in staff were relatively efficient (as Daddy made his usual small talk with the staff they purportedly were planning to handle approximately 150 check-ins today! WHOA!

Credit to the staff though the queue actually dispersed fairly quickly, or time flew as we were busy taking pix with the teddies lining up the seats at the lobby!

We landed a room on the 4th which we found was co-located on the same floor as the pool and gym. The layout was a little unconventional versus typical Singapore hotels with a broad and low rise configuration not so commonly seen these days – our room slightly around the west bend around the lift landing and separated by a secure sliding door, a decent stone’s throw from the elevators. Room was nicely lit with a light-coloured modern yet minimalist feel (somewhat a fresh change from the Mandarin Orchard room we had last weekend which looked a little tired), Mommy says was a reminisce of Zurich hotels…

Alas, the room had a nice long bench desk (good for prep work even on holidays!) with a lovely view of Kampung Glam/Arab Street across the road (day and night views!)

Propped on the desk also was a care pack consisting some zappy wipes and masks (how very thoughtful!).

We had a twin deluxe config bed setup which Daddy promptly setout to rejig into our usual 2 x 2 config. Before long we we glued yet again to the screen…

Despite the lure or Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Boomerang, and consistent with our usual prep time away at home, Mommy makes sure we diligently plough through our usual worksheets while she sipped away on her usual Nespresso fix.

After some work and more screen time it was time to hit the pool with Daddy, but not before making sure we stow our valuables away. Interestingly there was a power socket in the safe!

 

Pool was only a short stroll away on the same floor as we were, past a couple of doors and a few bends, more doors and more passageways…

We had a splashing time but caution though the pool has a very deep ended side – the deepest being 2.4 metres deep. We played tag with Daddy in the water and had him piggy-back Didi (he must sure be getting old as he lamented away all night about neck ache and sore shoulders!

Breakfast over both days was at Ginger, where the by-now mandatory check-in and temperature taking process was fuss free. Though we had never really seen 4 people at the breakfast check in until now! Seriously 2 lounge dragons, 1 at temperature control and 1 Safe Distancing Ambassador decked in his usual red SDA attire (surprisingly also the 1st we’d seen in any breakfast lines at recent stays).

Decor was pretty and somewhat different versus what we could remember in our previous visit for buffet dinner some time back. For obvious reasons now though buffet lines are but a distant memory. The usual order slip process entailed and we settled for Big Breakfast (for the Jtwins) and Waffles for Didi on the 2nd day & the humble Nasi Lemak for Mummy and Daddy on both days, the first which turned out to be a surprise Nasi Lemak + Sambal Lobster with blue butterfly pea rice. Talk about fusion!

   

Well, there’s always a first, and though the (rock) lobster was a decent surprise the authentic Sambal combination actually made it a pretty good dish.

Note only 1 set of Mains per pax Daddy reminded, unlike the unlimited servings at Mandarin Oriental. That said, the bread and salads/fruits were replenished so we reckon they were free-flow.

(JieJie with her Nasi Lemak on Day2 with sambal and lobster on the side, both of which Daddy walloped and Didi working on his waflles!)

 

All in we had a fantastic time just cooped up in our room the whole time, somewhat a reminisce of our Circuit Breaker time at home when schools were shut, just chilling with Daddy and Mummy. Apart from just the swims and headin’ out for dinner we pretty much hibernated through out CNY weekend!

FYI Si Chuan Dou Hou‘s conveniently located around the corner!

Oh well, still a very well time spent with Daddy and Mummy!
Thanks for joining us on our little adventure, and till the next time Take Care from T1 and T2!

On our way back we make a pit stop at Great World City to pick up some stuff and have ourselves our favourite Choco Chip frap & Choc+Strawberry shortcake and Passion Mango IB. Phew, Singapolidays can be tiring too…

While heading home eagle-eyed Didi spots something interesting which Daddy promptly latches on and forwards across to Gugu…

Indeed, “Sometimes being a Brother is better than being a SUPERHERO!”

And by the way Happy Valentine’s Day!

TheJTwins overall verdict in under 10 words:
Friendly staff over a well spread-out property. Fancy lobster nasi-lemak!

Mandarin Orchard Singapore 29th Jan 21

Once in a while a really good deal comes along – one such one was (still running when Daddy last checked!) at the Mandarin Orchard. So good that Daddy booked it overnight and had us pack our stuff ready to hit the hotel right after school on Friday.

So here we were FriYay at the Mandarin Orchard, right from school – couldn’t even wait to change out into our home clothes that we were here…

By the looks of it was also something many others had gotten wind of, the front-liners staycay promotion (bed + brekkie)*. Quite a queue at the check line line. We speculated the promo would have been timed to get people back after the 13 COVID cases around residents serving their SHN there upon returning to Singpaore.

*Last Daddy checked, pretty much everyone qualified as one…

Process was rather straight forward, put in our reservation for the pool slot (which we ended up canceling since TV time had become more of a priority then!) and went thru the mandatory health declaration which was now the defacto standard – pool happens to be located next to the lobby.

(pix taken retroactively after crowds dispersed) 

Retrieved our key cards and headed up to the 16th where our room was located. Great view overlooking the forward part of Orchard Road diagonally across from the flagship A&F store and across from Taka.

Room looked a little dated but more than made up for it with the slightly larger than current lead-in room categories.
Bathroom similarly was equipped with a standing rain-shower-head as well as a combination stand shower in a tub configuration across the bathroom with the sink + vanity smack in the middle.

While we didn’t feel the need to use the pool (though swim gear all were packed and all in tow) we did check out the gym which was located at the other tower separate from where the rooms were located. Note your key cards will not activate the the lift on this tower which also serves the parking on the first 4 levels (lobby on the 5th as with the restaurants – Melt and ChatterBox) – therefore you need first register at the Concierge and get a separate access card.
It was a bit of a scavenger hunt heading up to Level 36, thereafter taking 2 flights or stairs up some inconspicuous security door (reminded us of the pool at Hilton Singapore with a similar access).

Only a couple of gym rats when we peek-a-boo’d and made way with couple of bottles of drinking water.

I guess one of the major plusses of Mandarin Orchard is undoubtedly its super prime location, literally next door to some of our favourite malls. Given the proximity we took the opportunity to walk across to Takashimaya for dinner and lunch the next day.

On our stroll back to the hotel post dinner (despite lugging along some barang barang off our shopping at Cold Storage – Faddy’s [Fat Daddy] usual instant noodles and mandatory drinks), we just had to stop by the Iconic Orchard Uncle’s Traditional Ice Cream stall. Uncle apparently had been in that same spot since 1994 (Uncle Chieng told us he had been selling ice cream since 1965 though!).

 

Mummy had her customary Yam, Didi and I had Ripple Strawberry and Durian respectively. MUMMY lapped and slurped up her Yammy Ice Cream in double quick time while Faddy tried to restrain but relented ultimately to ‘help’ Didi and I on ours.

 

Breakkie in the morning was at Melt, after being whisked to our table we were given an order slip to put in our choices or either Wanton Noodle, Ham and Bacon or Nasi Goreng.

 

Overall it was a decent weekend but please don’t think of it as a Mandarin Oriental.

Apart from not being affiliated despite the Mandarin equity in its brand name it’s a totally different league altogether.

TheJTwins verdict in under 10 words:
Tired-looking room backed by unbeatable deal+breakkie in a prime location.

Nook @ 15 Stamford

Nook – 15 Stamford, Capitol Kempinski

To many hours spent hosting!

One for the record on 30th Dec 2020, the final day of operation…

We do miss thee little Nook,
Many hours with Daddy over a game of castle and rook,
While Jo and Mommy with a drink and a good book,
Now that you seem off the hook,
Oh Nook, where for thou art we still look.

Yotel Orchard Singapore (Aug 2020)

So we’re smack right in the midst of COVID and at the time of writing borders have been shut for 6 months.

With no where to go (Home Based Learning is inforce and only Daddy’s weekly grocery run – we stayed at home for a month straight!) and the risk of burning his travel credits, Daddy moots the idea of checking in for an overnight to Yotel Orchard. Yotel sounded pretty new-ish to us but Daddy said there would be a nice experience for the village to huddle together in a bunk bed ala ‘cabin’-style. By which time hotels which are not designated SHN (Stay Home Notice/Quarantine Hotels) are up for staycays for a change in environment.

We didn’t really setout to take many pictures since I-don’t-remember why, prob since the streets and malls were devoid of people altogether!

Not much space, but always enough for the motley gang…

Really cool (retro like?) elevator with a really cool guy (guess who?)!

Robots which delivery amenities and bottled water to you (no need for any safe distancing there!)!

We take a walk right next door to Shaw Centre for dinner and Gelato (Gelatissimo to be exact!).

After that we walk across to Scotts Square where Jie Jie decide to treat us with her price money/voucher (where from?!) which was really generous of her!

Twas great to be able to head out after having been cooped up literally at home and with the world unsure for how long more this would continue for… gnite!

Yotel Orchard Singapore (Nov 2020)

So we loved Yotel so much we decided to head back barely 3 months after our 1st visit!

And this time we’re back for more pix!

Familiar facade.

Headed up to our room in the really hip elevator!

Bunk Bed and panoramic shot of the room!

#2305 – Bottom Double Bed
Top bunk!
Panoramic View of the very snug room!

Whats a trip to Yotel without making the acquaintance with Yoshi who brings bottled water up to our room!

On this trip, Daddy mucks around with the door security chain, and inadvertently locks us in since the latch gets stuck. We had to dial for help, and fortunately they dispatched (no neither Yoshi nor Yolanda) but a human technician who patiently hacks the lock out from outside, and rescues us from our predicament!

Soon we’re back to chilling in the room, watching TV and climbing up and down!

All aboard mate!

View from the top.

Dining area which served breakfast without the typical buffet setting (remember we’re still knee-deep in COVID era!). In the absence of the spread, we were given forms to select our options of mains, breads, juices and yoghurt (positive we’ll inevitably see the evolution of paper/physical forms transitioning to QR codes and touchless order and payment modes in months to come!).

Ice-Cream galore again!

Daddy says we will soon both no longer be able to fit up in the top bunk at the rate we chomp down our ice-creams!

Tucking in for the night, not before sneaking in another quick show to run down the sugar in our system *burpz*!

Breakkie the next morning…

Temp Screening station!

JJ at The Bicentennial Experience – From Singapore to Singaporean

JJ at The Bicentennial Experience – From Singapore to Singaporean

Mummy J signed us up some months back for the Bicentennial Experience. Good thing she did that.

When we first heard it however, we went like “What? Are we going to a new shopping mall?” and never thought back anything about it until last week when Mummy gets a reminder on her trusty iPhone calendar and off we go to the Fort Canning Centre (located at 5 Cox Terrace, Singapore 179620) [Park at F0022].

Note: what we’re attempting to describe below is based solely on our collective experience and will definitely not do justice to the amount of work the production team has put in over the past years – there has clearly been an incredible amount of effort and investment that has gone into making this show, experience, exhibit or whatever-you-call-it a reality.

This is ‘an-admission-by-ticket-only’ event and FREE tickets can be booked online here. Be sure thought to secure your tickets ASAP to immerse yourself in an educational experience that showcases defining events in Singapore’s 700-year history!

The following is an excerpt from the Bicentennial Experience guidebook which succinctly captures what the experience is all about:

The Bicentennial Experience commemorates the 200th anniversary of Raffles’ landing in Singapore. The Bicentennial Experience reflectively unfolds the story of our country’s evolution – stretching beyond the British arrival in 1819 to explore the preceding 500 years. As the centrepiece event of the Singapore Bicentennial, this multimedia sensory experience will take visitors back in time to witness key moments in Singapore’s transformation. The Bicentennial Experience has 2 main sections:

  1. The Time Traveller which takes place indoors, bringing visitors on an epic experiential journey through Singapore’s key historical moments.
  2. The Pathfinder which is an outdoor experience, with a series of pavilions designed for visitors to explore a diverse range of ideas and themes that show how Singapore’s connections with the rest of the world have spanned 700 years.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Time Traveller experience, comprising 5 different acts, preceded by the Atrium experience where we were taken thru a summary audio documentary of the rise and fall of civilisations and cities with a digital rotunda table of the visuals and map of the story, culminating with an awe-inspiring visual of the reverse-rain effect (rain drops rise from bottoms up)!

Act 1:  Beginnings – Live performers and a moving travelator add drama and dynamism to some of the most colourful exploits that unfolded in early Singapura. The synchronised performance of the actors with the music and audio recap were choreographed perfectly and added drama and suspense! This was our favourite part of the entire experience.

Act 2: Arrival – We board “The Indiana”, the ship that brought Raffles to Singapore in 1819. The digital screen and animation were simply astounding, and left us awe-struck. [JJ Tip] Sit at the back rows if you are prone to motion sickness!

Act 3: Connectivity – Still in the same room, the circular surround screens now move and seats rotate to provide an all-immersive show experience.  The JJ Tip of sitting at the back pews still apply since Mummy J had her eyes shut at some point to prevent her getting dizzy!

Act 4: Occupation – We disembark from the ‘vessel’ and are herded into a small darkened room to simulate refuge within an underground bomb shelter. The sirens and alarms blare signifying the Japanese occupation of Syonan during World War 2 (1942-1945). The audio broadcast of happenings around are vivid reminders of the very significant yet painful WW2 era in the history of Singapore. When we exit the room, we talk into a tunnel with supposed cracks in the wall through which we see glimpses of historical events during this time, culminating with an audio+visual account of a Sook Ching survivor (a Chinese term depicting the purging or cleansing or eliminating or individuals resisting the occupation).

Act 5: Destiny – Prior to entering the next room, we were handed brollies which we promptly opened before a gust of rain hovered across and started pouring cats and dogs.

Soon the weather fined up and we were ushered into a new dawn. A new era of Singapore, our Singapore today.

JJ at V-Dining

JJ at V-Dining by V-Zug.

Turns out Mummy J lands us some dining vouchers, courtesy of our friends at Class 95 after winning them off the ‘I’m NOT stupid’ segment of Muttons in the Morning ! Daddy J is a closet fan of the Muttons, and some say thats why Jon’s nickname evolved to Mutton over time… (Jonathan->Tern Tern->Natern->Mutton).

FYI the crew with the Muttons at one of the previous Class95 roadshows at Nex!

So with our reservation in place, Daddy and Mummy J pack the kiddos and head out for lunch at V-Dining @ Scotts Square. It was a very quiet afternoon…

Very cozy ambience with an open kitchen concept and vantage views of Scotts Road.

Daddy and Mummy have the 5 course lunch set with wine, while Jo helps decide on our order of Salmon+Spinach as main course and Apple Cinnamon+Camomile ice-cream with home filtered water, and swiftly burrows her head in a Lego Ninjago book while the kind crew begins to whip up lunch.

Snacks and starters…

Tartar Lamb and fingerlime.

Laksa mousse with taupok (fried beancurd) cubes, laksa leaves.

Brown butter cabbage with langoustine.

 

Carrot soup with kohlrabi and leek.

Chicken with pumpkin and coconut curry for the grown-ups and salmon with spinach for the kids.

 

Desserts! Apple cinnamon with camomile and Yoghurt with berries and meringue…

Mummy was happy at the end… sipping Prosecco while kids worked on folding napkins to pay off their meal *burps*, and she can now confidently tell the Muttons – “I’M NOT STUPID!” 

Thank you Class 95! 🙂
