姑妈家 Gu Ma Jia restaurant

Assam fish head at Gu Ma Jia (姑妈家) is a must try. That was the consensus among the adults. 姑妈家 literally means Auntie’s house, and this restaurant is famous for their home-cook cuisines.

We pop by last weekend to celebrate 奶奶’s birthday 🙂
Gu Ma Jia pricing

Daddy is not really a fish head fan, but he likes how the snapper flesh melts in your mouth. Tender and fresh, with the delightful assam gravy on our white rice, our appetite immediately went up a notch !

The signature Assam Fishhead (rated 4/5) – ($28)

姑妈 (Gu Ma Jia) food pricing is reasonable and more dishes can be found on our Fanpage album.
Gu Ma Jia menu

Prawn paste chicken wings ($12) – (3.5/5) – Kids’ favourite dish. Crispy skin, not too tough. Everyone savour two pieces.

Prawn roll ($6 for 6 pieces) – (3.5/5). Crunchy and filling, kids love it. The chunky piece comes with a generous filling of pork and water chestnut.

Brocoli Scallop ($18) – (3.75/5) – Brocoli might be the only vegetable which our kids relish. Adults love the scallops.

Ling Zhi Tofu ($12)- (4.25/5) – This was the surprise dish for us. We have heard good reviews about this dish. The tofu will just melt in your mouth and everyone love the sweet Lingzhi (灵芝).

Happy Birthday Grandma (奶奶), hope you like us as much as the Assam Fish head 🙂

If you are looking for a cosy venue for family dining, we will recommend Gu Ma Jia.
We need to pop by again to try out the other dishes, like Kyoto pork ribs 🙂

Tourists in Orchard Road

If you are a Tourist in Orchard and you need directions, Visitors Centres will be able to assist. We are enjoying the second day of our Staycation at Grand Park Orchard, play acting as tourists.

Before that, we enjoyed our complimentary buffet breakfast at 8.30am. We can afford to linger on bed longer on a weekend. Boon Kang helping his siblings to cut up the hotdogs and bacon.

Boon Wee wished to let you know that the Mee Siam is good.

Breakfast with a view. Kids enjoying their breakfast and viewing Orchard Road street life.

We decided to tour Orchard Road’s backyard as Daddy had heard about NSS’ efforts to cultivate butterflies friend plants. The boys should enjoy outdoor Fun compared to shopping at Wisma or Takashimaya.

Read more about butterfly project here.

Why Orchard road no more butterflies

Instead of butterflies, we found brown leaves and withered leaves, thanks to the recent drought. It must have a dire impact on the butterflies’ population.

We did see a lot of Captain America posters in Orchard Road.

We pop by Visitor’s Centre (first picture) for some orientation about Singapore. Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam, these ethnic enclaves are recommended for tourists to soak in Singapore’s multi-racial society.

You can get ideas about Singapore itinerary, or you can send some authentic postcards, and win great prizes along the way too 🙂

If kids need additional entertainment, we can always borrow Dvd from concierge.

Back at the hotel’s waterhole, it would be cool if we can have some cocktail (or ice milo) at Bar Canary, but Daddy said we are under-aged, no liquor.

We bid farewell to our 2D1N stay at Grand Park Orchard.

Do pop by our Fanpage for our 2D1N photos, and read our Day 1 High-tea and swim here.
