A date with the wife for CNY

Two days for Chinese New Year isn't enough for us! We need at least three! And we have not caught any Chinese New Year movie (贺岁片) yet! So, we have already planned to take another day off yesterday and spend some time together. Unforunately, for our little darling Jayden, he has to go to the childcare. Jayden, we will bring you to the movies when you are a little older! Promise!

The first thing to do that day? Find a place for breakfast - We are famished! No interesting places nearby and so, we hopped into Old Town for the breakfast set.

Coffee for me, Tea for her

Assam Laksa for me. I am not ordering this ever. Sardines in my laksa??? Huh?

Potato Prata for her. Although the prat a taste like the pratas sold frozen in NTUC, it is somehow better than mine!

And we added soft boiled eggs too! It is hard to get this wrong. The only thing I am not too satisfied was that it was too cooked for my taste.

Let the movies begin!!

We will only have time for two movies and we decided that we should choose one local production and another Hong Kong one.

Dance Dance Dragon (龙众舞)and All's Well Ends Well 2012 (八星抱喜) were the movies we chose. Not going to do a review but in short, we prefer the local production.

Popcorn time!

After the show, we still have a little bit of time left to just walk around and do some shopping. Items on our list are a haversack to replace the tote bag that Hazel is using to keep Jayden's milk/diapers/etc and a new suitcase for our Royal Carribean Cruise.

I like their way of misleading people into thinking otherwise.

I honestly didn't know that there is this branch in Orchard that look so classy! By the way, it seems like Gong Cha has invaded and took over the entire Orchard area. I do recall any KOI cafe in orchard area.

And we went on to Somerset 313 and finally got a haversack. The decor in 313 is a refreshing one after seeing countless dragons in every single mall. As one of my friends posted in my instagram feed, it looks like Medusa!!!
