Sengkang Babies

We decided to celebrate Boon Kang’s Birthday with Mao Shan Wang (猫山王) durians. At Sindy Durian, Daddy and Mummy (奶奶too) got the perfect excuse to indulge in Durian feasting :p

It is the durian season, and we keep seeing photos of durians on our social media channels. Yellow, creamy and fleshly Durian tempting us everyday. Although our kids do not really know how to appreciate Mao Shan Wang, they are game to try some seeds.

Sindy Durian is one of the 5 reputable dealers highlighted for good quality durians (source Makansutra).

Auntie Sindy quality checks every Durian to ensure only top-notch Mao Shan Wangs are served to customers. Sniff, peel, customer pinch and savour, you can be assured of only good quality durians at Sindy. This explains why the queue can be slow moving 🙂

Be patient, good stuff must wait. Meanwhile, kids are amazed Auntie Sindy needs no glove.

We purposely choose one slightly sweeter Mao Shan Wang for the kids. Bitter, Sweet, all creamy! The bitter ones are really bitter but shiok!

Happy Birthday, Boon Kang! We end the evening with ice cream at Swensen’s.

We mounted the Sentosa Cable Car from Harbourfront (Tower 2 15th floor) towards Sentosa. We heard there is a new line on Sentosa Island itself.

True be told, I am not really a fan of heights. Confined in the cabin, I was trying to sit still to minimize any swaying. I wonder how we did the crystal (aka transparent) cabin from Hong Kong, which is even taller and shakier!

Boon Yee is slightly apprehensive, and refuse to smile for the camera. Boon Xin on the other hand was busy hopping to every corner to grab the best view 🙂

The 360 degrees view from the Singapore cable Car cabin is mesmerizing, and it makes Boon Yee relax.
Look! Resorts World Sentosa and Adventure Cove below us, Reflections and yatches behind us, more SG50 cabins in front of us.

From far, we can already spot the New Sentosa Line.

From Sentosa Station, we took a 3min walk to Imbiah Lookout station.
Boon Yee finally smiles when we caught up with the brood from ThePerfectFather.

Two families share the new Sentosa Line cabin, kids were bantering non-stop in the air haha.

As our cabin weaves above trees, we can spot the Flying Fox from MegaZip on one side, and Siloso beach on the other.

As we were early, we headed to other icons on Siloso beach.

Fort Siloso Skywalk is the latest attraction on Sentosa island. This elevated bridge allows visitors to walk above trees and get a panoramic view of Western Sentosa. From the top, Siloso Point Station resembles a boat.

Group photo at the cannon with Heng family.

If the elevated nature walk does not thrills, perhaps a see-through glass floor!

Grand opening, kids enjoying the party.
