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 🙂

Candy Empire cookies indulgence

[ Media Invite ]

We found a giant Chupa Chups Lollipop at Candy Empire, and Daddy just need someone to act bewildered with the Giant Lollipop.

That Giant lollipop very much sum up our Fun “Candy Empire Sunday Brunch” 🙂

When we mention Candy Empire, kids will only pick “Candy”, or “Chocolates” or “Lollipops”. It was very tough for us to resist Candy Empire sweet invitation to their Sunday Spread, an event exclusively for members.

Look at the tantalising platters of cookies, wafers, and chocolates.
Where should we start?
Cookies and candy buffet

On top of delicious pastries, kids even got to design their own gourmet cookies.
With the help of our friendly 姐姐 (sisters), we crafted some cookie faces, colourful bean jelly for the nose, Nutella for the eyebrow.

Kids exercise their own creativity. The cookies are so tempting that they are not waiting for Daddy to snap some photos first 🙁

Eat, craft, eat, design, eat eat and more delicious cookies await us.
Most of the time, kids were busy crafting and munching at the same time.

Our own gourmet cookies design.

Our Sunday spread consists of Ovaltine and Speculoos, both complements well with apples and bananas.

Nutella too, everyone is spoilt for choice!

Not contented with the delicious cookies and pastries, kids decided to monopolise the whole Stall ! The organiser was kept busy slicing the apple and bananas for the hungry kids audience.

Happy customers.

On Sunday Spread days, members are entitled to a 20% discount storewide, Mummy is happy to fulfill the kiddo’s orders.

Durian or Angry birds anyone?

Did you know Candy Empire’s best seller is Ovaltine? In Switzerland, Ovaltine is known as Ovomaltine. Each customer is subject to a maximum of 6 bottles.

To quote from Candy Empire :
As our best-selling product, Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream is a thick, creamy chocolate spread mixed with Ovomaltine granules, giving it an absolutely divine crunchy texture. Besides being a scrumptious spread, you’ll be glad to know that its nutritious mixture contains a variety of up to 11 vitamins and high levels of minerals like magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus. If you face the problem of picky children at the breakfast table, the combination of a creamy taste and high nutrition value of the Ovomaltine spread can be your easy solution.

Ovaltine and Speculoos might be a good substitute compared to the usual “candy and chocolate” souvenirs.

The happiest customer must be Boon Xin, she hauled back one month’s worth of Sweet supply 🙂

Thank You Candy Empire for the Fun and Delicious Sunday Spread.

This might be one of the rare occasion when Daddy allowed cookies before dinner :p
