I am a Blogging Daddy of four. Our kids are roaming Singapore to bring you FUN,
This blog is use to capture our kids' growing up phases, and we want you to leave our blog with a smile :)
Our kids love Roti Prata but Tissue Prata is new to them. I have seen epic taller-than-humans Tissue Prata before in KL, and had been trying to find something similar in Johor (without success).
Srisun express
That is, until I went “Walau!” (exaggerated but authentic expression) at Mummy Delphine’s IG photo (@LifeIntheWeeHours)
These huge pratas are so near to our neighbouhood! You should ask Delphine how they cut down the Tall Tissue Prata, read their RK Eating House experience here.
Alas, our prata is size “S” from Hougang. We realised the Taller-than-human Tissue Prata is only available at Serangoon Garden’s branch.
But the smaller prata turn up to be a blessing in disguise. Kids found the Tissue Prata bland and only snack on a few slabs. If we had ordered the Epic Tissue Prata, I would not be able to finish it.
The chocolate banana prata ($4) is delicious and slightly mushy, we love the combination of chocolate and chewable banana.
To my surprise, something crop up when we researched Tissue Prata.
Giant Ice Milo tower, all 3 litres of goodness!
Milo tower
Intrigued with the Tower, kids were waiting for condensation, then splash each other with water droplets!
Crazy, but I guess this is one way to relieve post-exam stress (my excuse).
Bandung Tower
Srisun Express got Bandung Tower too! The whole Tower can fill about 10 to 12 mugs!
Hooray! Exam is over, time to celebrate and party 🙂
If you want to surprise the kids, Epic Prata and Iced Milo should do the trick.

Food 3.5/5 Value for money 4/5 Experience (Novelty) 5/5
We should be visiting the Serangoon Garden branch soon 🙂
I love this snap of how the reefs are flourishing under Gaya Island Resort (GIR). When we saw the resort, we gladly extended our Sabah vacation by another 2 nights 🙂
Our Holiday actually started with GIR’s guest concierge at Jesselton point (jetty).
20min ride to our resort, and 3D2N of clear water and white sandy beach 🙂
… VILLA on the hill!
As our speedboat nears Gaya Island Resort, we can see the villas dotted over the hillside. Heightens everyone’s anticipation.
Are you in the mood for a vacation already? From jetty to lobby, the kids had a sneak preview of what will greet us over 3D2N. Green foliage, surrounded by South China Sea, and different tones of green and blue water.
One word, RELAX. Pure bliss.
Wherever you turn, you are greeted by the pool, trees, beach and sea, or on a good day Mount Kinabalu!
Spacious tall ceiling Lobby, a cool respite from the heat outside.
Our room is perched on the hillside, enveloped by foliage. We can always laze on the couch and admire the landscape, but alas wet monsoon season means the cushions are seldom dry 🙂
Just imagine, you and your darling holding hands, sweet embrace. With the waves or crickets forming a background symphony, this idyllic lifestyle is my kind of Romance ♥
Spacious villa (we got connecting rooms), hall leads straight to bathtub.
Love the fruity shampoo and body lotion (Orange and Mangosteen flavours), smells nice and really refreshing. We got the sea and pool, but I was wondering why kids still need the bathtub. I could not resist copying the kids in their bathtub, too bad Mummy was too shy to join in.
Holiday essentials. Snacks, 4G (complimentary with every room)
GIR is actually targeted at honeymooners, but families are welcome too. Pavement are suitable for strollers, but you might wish to choose a unit nearer to lobby (ie meal venues)
The only mode of access on Gaya Island Resort is walking, it is only 1200 steps every day to and fro from our room to lobby haha.
With the good meals over breakfast, lunch and dinner, I console kids we need to exercise. The GIR car plate is exclusively for staff hee hee.
I actually left a feedback for Gaya Island Resort to provide bicycles for guests 🙂
We are not joking when we mentioned all meals offer a glimpse of South China Sea. Truly Awesome, as kids will be fantasizing about next Fun beach activity. Sand castle, snorkeling, swimming and kayaking, or just lepak (relax) on a hammock.
Breakfast and dinner at Feast Village, intercontinental choices.
Friendly staffs were very prompt in responding to our needs (for hot water, extra blankets).
From the dining establishments to the receptionists, smiles greeted us everywhere, guests are treated like Vips.
Japanese food Sabah
Japanese Teppanyaki at Omakase. Our chef delighted us with his skills, and we were rewarded with delicious and tantalising Seabass, chicken and beef.
While we are not exercising, we dabble in relaxing trinket. Kids were entertained for 2 hours! There is something therapeutic about stringing beads together 🙂
We start and end this post with water activities, which are the highlight of our stay 🙂
Next, we will share GIR’s Private beach (Tavajun Bay) and snorkeling at their house reef.
