A day trip to Botanic Garden!

I woke up early in the morning to prepare our picnic brunch.

Crab Meat Maki Sushi

I want to try making other types of sushi like Nigiri, Inari and even Temaki the next time round!

Fried Maggie Mee with Hotdog.

I give Dear a chance to choose between Fried Udon, Fried Vermicelli or Fried Maggie Mee, and the above is what he had chosen.

I have specially made a large portion of Jelly for Dear since he love it so much!

And here we are at the Botanic Garden!

The weather was scorching hot and humid in the afternoon.

Since 1859, orchids have been closely associated with the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The products of the Gardens' orchid breeding programme, which began in 1928, deserve a place where they can be displayed in their full splendour. The very design of these orchids is, one could say, 'hand-crafted' by the Gardens' horticultural staff, dedicated to bringing out the finest in any hybrid cross.

Over 1000 species and 2,000 hybrids are now found in the Gardens' collection, with about 600 species and hybrids on display. Every year, more vibrant and enduring hybrids are added on. So that all may admire and enjoy their diversity, richness and beauty, the National Orchid Garden now offers a permanent showcase, the largest display of tropical orchids in the world.

We went to Starbuck at Pacific Plaza to chill.

I had Toffle Nut Latte and Dear had Peppermint Mocha.

In the evening, we had our dinner at Pepes, Flavour of Indonesia located at Takashimaya.

We spotted Chef Eric dining there with his wife and friends while we are waiting for the staff to attend to us!

We ordered Calamansi Juice, Nasi Putih, Ayam Goreng Kelasan, Keropok, Kepala Ikan and Tahu Telur.

One simple word: SEDAP!!

Photobucket

The bill come up to a total of $72.50.

I find the pricing is still reasonable since they served savory and authentic Indonesian food.
