Hello, Wheelock!

After a brief hiatus, Juliane and I are finally back at Wheelock Place again! Lol. It has been a while since the two of us wandered around Wheelock Place.

We browsed at Marks & Spencer and Borders before adjourning to Sakae for lunch (yes, again, lol). I think Sakae has improved its menu because there are some new dishes such as Rekon chips which is lotus root, thinly sliced and fried. Juliane enjoyed it very much, besides her usual Sakae chawanmushi and tamago nigiri sushi. I tried out their new Udon chawanmushi which has udon in the steamed egg. Hmm, it is an interesting combination. Lol.

After dinner, we went to Vivocity. Again, the girls were lamenting that they have not gone on the cable car before. It looks like we, the parents might have to bring them to Sentosa soon or we will never hear the end of it every time we go to Vivocity. Lol.

We broswed at Page One where the girls got their kiddie magazines before we went to Corduroy Cafe for a snack. It is nice to be back at the Cafe. It is a nice relaxing place.

We ordered to share:
Cream of Mixed Vegetable soup (soup of the day) ($9). It didn't look very appetising when it arrived, a mustard yellow colour. But it was tasty! I could taste pumpkin, carrot, cauliflower, asparagus, potato,... that's about all that I could discern from the soup, lol. It is one of those good hearty soups to have on a cold night
.



Kartofel Salat ($4.50) which we had before. It is potato salad, with bacon bits, cider dressing and diced apple. (Picture shown in a previous Corduroy Cafe post). Still just as yummy.

Apple and Pinenut crostata ($6) which is quite similar to apple pie, apple crumble. It is nice enough.



The girls had their lemon cupcakes ($2.50). The lemon cream on top of the cupcake was really delicious.


I ordered an iced Earl Grey tea with mint ($5.50). I asked for the mint syrup to be served separately (which came in a shot glass) so that I could mix my own. It is really refreshing, with the mint and the lemon slices added an interesting twist.



We left around 9:30pm for home. Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day for the girls for they are going to watch Disney Magic show in the morning.
