You heard us correctly. Gardens by the Bay (GBTB) is selling displaying daily fruits and vegetables in it’s lush Flower Dome, themed “Sugar Mountain”.

Normally, we will associate cabbage and tomato with wet market (read our AMK trip), what a refreshing change 🙂

Christmas Sugar Mountain tells the story about a pineapple boy and straweberry girl 🙂

To quote from GBTB and designer Kazuyuki Ishihara:
Stemming from Ishihara’s belief in the power of food to bridge the disparities in society, the display features two characters – a pineapple boy called “Ananas” and a strawberry girl “Berry“. Both have to live apart because of their different growing conditions until one day when they stumble upon a garden with a special mountain that provides for all their needs. In this paradise of theirs, they build a home and live happily ever after.

Fruits everywhere, if we had come a few days earlier, we might be tempted to pluck the strawberries :p

We found a cosy corner near California, our Lollipop corner 🙂

Peep-a-Flyer, behind thick foliage.

Christmas accessories and salad-ingredients side by side, where is our salad bowl?

Kids were busy trying to spot the next Tomato, Pineapple or green capsicum !

Next to us was a group of senior citizens on a community visit, and all the aunties were happily remarking about Gardens’ rich produce.

Love this plot of green leafy lettuce. Is it organic?

We can smell Christmas spirit everywhere.

This cute truck is the center of attraction.

Let us tell you more about Ananas and Berry 🙂

Reindeers were spotted ushering in the festive month.

Hello Maple leaf

Families would enjoy celebrating Christmas at GBTB.

We pop by Cloud Forest again, whose Waterfall never fail to amaze us.

From the top, we can spot Far East Organisation (FEO) playground ! FEO playground is slated to open in 2014Jan, and we will share why this playground rocks in another post.

+5 Degrees, kids have a better understanding of global warming and it’s effect.

Gardens by the Bay is celebrating “12 Days of Sweet Treats” from 13 to 24Dec. Visit GBTB Fanpage daily from 13Dec onwards to win great prizes !

More photos of our FEO playground and Sugar Mountain trip are in our Fanpage.

Those new to North East area will be confused why there is a Punggol Park in the middle of Hougang. Long before Sengkang and Punggol township were ready, Punggol road was plying from old Punggol to Hougang towards Upper Serangoon road.

That was the period when Punggol End was still filled with Seafood restaurants 🙂

Sengkang is blessed with a lot of Greens, all within a leisurely 15min ride. Do pop by our Neighbourhood Park explorations.

Since our last visit, Punggol Park has some new ammenities, the lake and playground are always popular with families, especially during weekends.

Joggers and cyclists like to run rounds around the lake’s circumference.
But it is still called Punggol Park 🙂

Punggol Park is located between Buangkok, Sengkang and Hougang.

Boon Yee and Boon Xin enjoys the trip most, they were riding pillions !

As our weekends are packed with kids’ curriculum, we really treasure the opportunity to explore the parks. Building our family bonds through a leisurely ride.

Before we head home, kids need to explore the playground first 🙂

Along the way back, we pass by Sengkang Firestation, and some big longkangs (drains). Daddy used to climb down and catch guppies in his younger days, although this might not be recommended now. Flash flood can sweep the strongest swimmers away.

Teach the kids how to cycle, and your weekends will be packed with exploration trails 🙂
