Boon Lay Food Centre

Tuesday Report (星期二特写) is currently running a series of documentaries on Hawker centres and hawkers (生活气场). It talks about how Hawker Centres have changed with time, and the challenges faced by hawkers. Through hawkers are humble people, they always reach out to help others in their community.

And of course, you do not talk about Hawker Centres without mentioning the food !

Wei is having his exams soon, and has been barred from events and playgrounds 🙁
But our family love to explore new food venues, that explains why we roam from Sengkang to Boon Lay :p

Why are there so many BBQ seafood stalls in Boon Lay ??

Five spices (五香) was one of the highlighted stalls. Kids love the prawn crackers and fillet, while Daddy love the old school sausage and peanut gravy.

The last stop for us was Ice-Garden. After the spicy sotong and 五香’s chili, we need to cool down.

Ice Kachang anyone? The kids enjoy the jellies and making their “ice berg” tumbles.

We heard Ice Garden’s boss came out with 78 cool designs, and the queue never stopped.

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.
