Weekend dinners

Sat: Got to enjoy Lei Garden dinner treat (Rating: 9/10) as Dad's Japanese friend brought his family for a tour. The 2+ yrs toddler had very beautiful eyes, long lashes. Was warned by Dad that he can be rather boisterous but during dinner he behaved relatively well...was quite talkative, playing with the rubber sea creatures they got from Underwater World. He likes the stingray the most, kept holding on to it...chuckles in delight when Dad entertained him by naming the sea creatures correctly in Japanese. He even personified his toys by calling the stingray "a e sensei" (mr stingray), "sa me san" (shark) Interesting eating habits too cos he requested for tomato sauce and white rice...understand that even when his mother cooks other dishes he prefers plain rice, perhaps need to introduce new food in smaller quantities. Tried to recall my basic Jap to understand the conversation between the child & his parents without much success. =P Went for a brief night tour in the city (with Dad as the guide providing them the historical info as we pass by certain landmarks) and short walk at Merlion Park before calling it a night.

Sun: 小叔 & his family is back from Taiwan so had a dinner gathering at the restaurant near Lower Peirce Reservior (Rating: 7/10). The chilli crab with fried 饅頭 & claypot sea cucumber are my personal faves. Since it's the 2nd night of dinner spread, i tried to control & not overeat.
