Hello, Singapore!
I'm sure lots of people out there are super excited as Singappore is hosting the 28th SEA Games this year, after the last hosting 22 years ago. This year, it's especially significant to the republic as it celebrates its 50th year of independence in 2015

Thanks to Theresa, I got hold of 2 tickets to the Opening Ceremony & I got Wendy to join us.

Since I'm slightly early, I went to take some pictures















We only join the queue at aboutt 7.30 pm cos we totally didn't expect that the crowd to be so bad since the gate is open at 5 pm. The crowd is total madness =D
Thankfully, we managed to get in on time for the opening at 8 pm

It's been long time since I last came & am glad that there are quite of new items listed on the menu
And they have also upgraded to iPad ordering too

Drinks
Cheers to our new fighting team (missing May cos she went back hometown)
Soup of the day, Fish Chowder
Fried Calamari - one of my favorite dish
As well as Mussel in Garlic & Lemon Butter. I'm glad they kept these 2 dishes even with the new items listed.
Dishes we had. They have also added quite a lot of pasta/ pizza on the menu



SH & R3 went to buy a slice of cake from Awfully Chocolate for Hazel. SH even bought candles with her name on it
Wahaha... wrong choice for birthday girl to choose this venue lah. Staffs at Fish & Co made her stand on the chair to sing her birthday cheers & birthday song
and made her blow off the candle from where she s standing (roughly an arm's length away)
Birthday girl, still a little shy from the surprised birthday act by the staffs, but we're glad she enjoyed the dinner
