Families for Life celebrates at Sportshub

Last week, families descended at Sportshub for Families For Life (FFL) celebrations. We were happy to see multi-generation families gather together.

Carnival-like atmosphere, with buskers and fun activities engaging families.

The idea of FFL celebrations is for families to enjoy a day out, try out any sports you like.

Soccer, Segway or volleyball anyone?

Sportshub activities

Even though there are queues for activities, families were generally enthusiastic and happy. But we do hope event would start at 5pm instead of 3pm, so we can avoid the afternoon sun.

You can try dancing too, Bhangra is HOT (literally under the Sun).

We miss the Kayaking sessions.

Bazaar and carnival-like atmosphere.

We ended the evening with a round of guns.

A little complain. FFL has earlier invited families to try their luck at winning more than 10,000 tickets to local attractions. A very good initiative, but the tickets collection was a letdown.

Besides the long queue, there was no shelter from the Sun. Families for Life Celebrations is meant for whole families to play and participate together. It defeats the purpose if one family member has to queue and miss family time.

Hope this aspect will be improved next year, perhaps collection need not be on the same day.

SengkangBabies will always support any event which promotes Families first πŸ™‚

Hainan coffee shop – Keng Wah Sung

One lazy Saturday afternoon, when Daddy needed to perk himself up, he drove two boys to Geylang Keng Wah Sung for some Hainan coffee.

We heard from η™Ύεˆ†η™Ύζ–°εŠ ε‘ that Hainan coffee (桷南咖啑) is one of the pioneers in Singapore. 琼华昌 (Keng Wah Sung) is No1 on this list.

We love the thin slice of crusty toasted bread and home-made kaya. The kaya blends well with the coffee, and the slab of butter just melts in our mouth. Kids ordered soccer-ball (milo).

Go for a complete set.

Verdict : Nothing is wasted, leave no crumbs behind.

Coffee – 8.5/10 – a little bitter aftertaste, coffee aroma will linger in your mouth. One of the best coffee Daddy has tasted in Singapore

Toast & Egg – 8.5/10 (love the Kaya)
Atmosphere – 8/10. Order a cuppa and people watch. Quiet corner but busy Geylang road. Regular patrons will stream in every now and then to enjoy a cuppa. (No red-light activity around this stretch, so it is safe for kids)

Keng Wah Sung is at 783 Geylang Road (S)389672 (junction of Geylang Road and Lor 41 Geylang). (GPS 1.315063, 103.891647 ) . Closed on Sunday.

Keng Wah Sung is currently our no1coffeestall in Singapore. Do checkout Heap Seng Leong (Another old school coffeeshop)’s review here.
