Food Tour 64: Great Food Choices (CBD)

Not denying, I really love enjoying a good meal every now and then. Some of the great calories choices I have made recently.

1. Spicy Noodle

Initially, I thought my husband was exaggerating when he said they were good and he had them twice within a span of 1 week when he was in Taiwan. When they finally opened in Singapore, I decided to give it a try. And boy it was good. The noodles were nice and springy and the broth was thick and yummy. It is of my better find. And honestly, who cares about the price! I am definitely going there again!

2. Moon Moon Food

This was another recommendation from the husband and I think it taste way better than Du Xiao Yue (which also hails from Taiwan). I tried their signature spicy sesame noodle and it was not to be missed. It was so good I could finish one on my own. My other favourite was their braised platter. I have never tasted anything so good. I can safely say I will be back for more. 

Apart from that, we also had the soup and a fried rice for the kids. I also tried their grass jelly (combined with black fungus). I quite enjoy it but I don't think it is for all (thicker version of the grass jelly drink). In all, a place to check if you hadn't.

3. Yogurt Planet

Personally, I feel this is not for everyone. But it is my favourite meal/ dessert replacement because I feel it is healthy. Please tell if me if it isn't. You are charged based on the size of the bowl and you can fill it up as much as you want. Part of me always feel like I got a great deal cos I will fill up all the way to the brim. There are a few delicious yoghurt flavours to choose from and lots of toppings  variety, which include fruits. I use it to give my daily fruit intake. :) Some of the toppings are pretty exotic which makes it an interesting treat!

Starting the year at Pororo Park

It has been a while since we last visited Pororo Park (read the post here) and it is such a refreshing change. This is the safest indoor playground in Singapore and is extremely suitable for your toddlers. Our 6YO was borderline growing out of it. We got the 2 hours slot, but the shows and play areas could barely keep him busy. 

Our younger toddler on the other hand was having a great time, wanting to go for everything at least twice. Since our last visit, they have introduced new rides - Harry's Tractor Ride, Bubble Party at Tong Tong's Theatre, the bouncy area at Crong's Backyard.

For parents, this place is great because it has a nursing room within. Also, the kids here are around the same age group so there is barely any rough play. The kids will also entertain themselves - befriending and playing with the other kids.  Parents can take a breather and just rest as the kids play. Not going to deny it, but I kinda enjoy this. 

From a price perspective, it doesn't deviate too much from the established indoor playgrounds. However, if you are a family with kids that have a wide age gap, this may not be the best place to entertain your older kids. The train is definitely still a highlight but now that other indoor playgrounds are having their own, it is no longer something exclusive to Pororo Park. Nonetheless, still a great place to kickstart every child's indoor playground journey. *Winks*

Christmas at Kiztopia

This year, we spent Christmas at Kiztopia because they had such a great deal. We have been to Kiztopia (Marina Square) before and I can safely say this is probably the biggest indoor playground in Singapore. This is one place I always tend to lose the kids. Somehow they will hop on to the indoor slides and I can't seem to find them anywhere. 

I am most impressed by them not just by their sheer size but also by the effort to keep maintaining the space. The area still looks new and relevant. There are new games such as the "floor is lava" and similar sort of game. It is not just fun for the kids, but also for the adults. Even I look forward to a day out there.

Ideally, a 3-hours slot should let you enjoy every single area, but by 2 hours in, we were all exhausted. This place has very kids' dream under the sun - unlimited train rides, exciting slides, hinoki pits, ball pits, trampolines, foot-to-floor-rides, extensive pretend-plays and even floor is lava games. Because we were there during the holiday seasons, we ended up managing to redeem $10 off some of their merchandise. We ended up going home with a passport holder and wallet each for the kids. Super lovely!

F&B-wise, each ticket also allow parents to purchase cheap coffee from Kith. Very thoughtful gesture, but we already had our coffee fix. The ice fruit popsicles were also very reasonable priced such that we always get to schedule a treat during our session. Our overall damage was around S$80 for 4 pax with 4 merchandise. :D Super pleased with how the day was given how much fun it was.
