Otah & Friends: Otter-themed Escapade at Gardens by the Bay

 There are days where we want to run away from the reality and escape into the children fantasy. The first Otter-themed escapade is here in Singapore at Gardens by the Bay, giving me the opportunity to be young at heart again for that evening.

Thanks GF for the group photo and jio-ing me to join RKM outing together with Hayden.

 Otah & Friends is a nostalgic game of playing hide-and-seek with Otah (The name of the otter behind us).

After a little warming up quiz, we were ready to find Otah.

Before we enter Otah's house, we have to ring the bell and count to ten. We were only given 15 minutes to find Otah before the cookies in his oven burn. We have to look around the house for clues to help us locate the hiding place of Otah.

I love the colourful and vibrant backdrop of Otah’s house, it feel like I have stepped into a children's world. I wish we had more time to take photo around but with only 15 minutes slot, we have to look for Otah first.

Hayden was very enthusiastic in looking for clues, he searched high and low, cabinet and every corner of the house.

We discovered a lemon tree in Otah's house, every corner of the house was visually stunning.

Entering the kitchen. The vibrant colour of pink, blue and yellow formed the main colours in Otah's house.

We managed to find Otah in the given time. 

Next was to proceed to his courtyard to claim our rewards, a cookie and lemonade. 

We were impressed by ourselves at how we managed to squeeze into this tent, it was very crammed definitely.

Thanks GF for extending your ticket to me  and capturing the group photo. It was a short but fun moment spent together finding  Otah & Friends.

Sunday Outing to Ion Sky and Belo Cafe

January is always a month to gather with the clique because it is GF's birthday month, we set aside our Sunday for a get-together.

We have our lunch at Shaw House Food Republic and I settled for Roasted Chicken Noodle ($4.80). It took us awhile to get a seat because the place was packed with people. 

After the lunch, we went over to Ion Sky to view the latest Bvlgari Allegra Perfume Collection. Our vision was transfixed at the scenery in front of us, trying to identify all the familiar buildings (like Marina Bay Sands) that we could spot. 

It would be nice to dine over here (provided you  get the window seat). It has been such a long time since we last have a gathering together, I have been so caught up with work. I really opt to give myself a break at times.

We enjoyed girls outing where we spent our time chatting catching up, taking photos, enjoying drinks and food. Next stop, we went over to The Coffee Bean to chill until dinner time. 

Jasmine has 50% discount vouchers from The Coffee Bean and I got a Vanilla Latte at $4.05 (U.P. $8.10). We just sit and chill for the next 1 hour 45 minutes.

GF introduced us to this lovely cafe bar at Upper Thomson Road, Belo Cafe. It is a cafe by day, pizza bar by night and an all-day dessert shop. 

This Truffles Fries ($11) was very worth it to order, the truffle oil infused shoestring fries came in a large plate that was just nice for the 7 of us. The fries were well seasoned and addictive, we finished it in no time.

We decided to order Diavola Pizza ($15) and Wayo Pizza ($19) for sharing since we were not very hungry. Both pizzas tasted delicious. Diavola Pizza contained of pork salami while Wayo Pizza contained smoked salmon and cooked prawn.

We decided to order some more varieties because the food was really nice.

We gotten Spam Fries ($10) which was served with mustard sauce. Compared to Truffle Fries, I would think that the truffle fries is more worth it to order if you are just intending to order one starter.

The Brunch Pizza ($19) has caught our attention. The thin crust pizza was toppled with mushroom, bacon and partial cooked egg. It was delectable especially the crunchy crust that taste like a biscuit.

We ended the dinner with Thai Milk Tea Ice Cream and Earl Grey Waffle ($15) that comes with mixed berries and a macaron.

We had a hard time deciding on the waffle ice cream because there was so many different flavours and each of us wanted a different flavour. In the end we draw lot and gotten the flavour that birthday girl picked.

This was really a great dining place in the north, we really love the food here. Happy birthday to GF.
