Easter celebration at 7Adam

[Sponsored Review]

Think Easter, and kids link the festival with Eggs and Bunny. Easter is much more significant to the Christians, and you know we are not Christians, when Daddy need to reference Wiki 🙂

Anyway, we were invited to 7Adam’s Eggventure activities to celebrate Easter.

Daddy was apprehensive as he knew 7Adam is famous for both dining and it’s own arts gallery. Will our kids be able to eat “gracefully”, and avoid knocking down some prized arts collections?

7Adam’s PR agency reassures us that they understand that kids will be robust and active, and their Easter activities are designed with Family-Bonding in mind.

In addition, the special Easter menu is prepared by Chey Reynaldo, who has trained with two-starred Chef Thierry Marx and held positions in acclaimed restaurants in Evian and Bordeaux.

That brings us to the Deviled Eggs with Ikura 🙂 .Kids scrap the egg yolk while Daddy and Mummy are left with the Ikura. (Mummy is not complaining)

Kids love the bird-nest lookalike omelette. The crunchy nest is made from yam.

Eggs galore ! Kids discover there are so many ways to savour our eggs.

Capsicum soup. Tomato sourly with a tinge of sweetness. Boon Xin (our girl) finished almost half the serving.

Adult’s main dish is baked Tenderloin cooked to medium rare. Kids love the crispy bacon, and we discover that Boon Kang does not mind some rare beef !

If the beef is a tad too raw, younger kids should enjoy the pan seared Chicken cordon bleu. The french fries (and ketchup) always work wonders for our kids’ appetite.

Desserts round off our brunch. Strawberry tartlets (1st pic below) for kids and orange cakes for adults.

Guess our kids prefer tangy Orange or Strawberry sweetness?

The highlight for the kids are the egg drawing activities.

Ooops sorry, we miss out Mr Bunny. All the kids were curious about the bunny’s gender and kept hugging him.

After the painting, kids last activity was to search for the eggs. 7Adam’s staff would hide painted-eggs “Kinderjoy eggs”, before the kids go hunting.

Thank you 7Adam for hosting us, our kids enjoy the EggVenture menu (both food and drawing). More photos are available on our fanpage.

5th Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

What comes to mind when you think of Hot Air Balloons?

Big, awesome, Cute, Freedom, FUN ! It can be anything. We pop over to Putrajaya’s 5th International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta last Friday, and took some photos with a SMURF !

Video : If you have not been near to a Hot Air balloon before, this clip should make your kids excited!

The night before, we stay at “CyberView Resort“. We will share more about this resort and Putrajaya/Cyberjaya sights in another post. GPS is a must as most road signs look identical.

We arrive at 0615 to catch the preparation. First ship will fly off around 0730 till 0900. Read the FAQs here. Families turn out in full force, excitement lingers in the air.

Gary from USA was a fun pilot, he keeps shouting 5,4,3,2,1 to attract photographers’ attention ! We can feel the flame from 5m away.

One bye one, the crew layout the basket and balloons over the square. There will be twenty balloons to wow the spectators.

The motor cranks up and blow air to fill the balloons. The balloons start to erect all around us. In less than 20min, a balloon is ready to take off !

Someone even peek at us from behind the tree line. Tethered rides are available for the adventurous.

For some reasons, everyone (especially photographers) wants to peep under the balloon 🙂

In cold surroundings (ie 7am), Hot Air Rises, balloons float easier. Be careful not to BBQ the Butt !

Meanwhile, kids are trying to identify which “monster” will lift off next 🙂

More photo opportunities.

We feel so tiny walking among the giant balloons. Kang with Buddy’s namecard.

20 balloons over 2 hours. “Excited and Thrill” cannot be used to describe our experience 🙂
It is a FUN experience for everyone !

We heard Darth Vader and Doraemon has even appeared in previous Hot Air Balloon fiestas !

Pity the sky seems a bit hazy.

We must come back again 🙂

Tips :
1) The gate officially open at 7am, but you can enter earlier. At 7am, only DSLRs are allowed into the compound. Those who arrive earlier (even without DSLR) will be allowed to venture real close to the balloons !

2) Hot air balloons only flys at 0700 to 0900, and 1800. Time your itinerary to capture the flights. There are fringe activities throughout the weekend.
