May holiday

Today is the 1st day of the May Day holiday. It's not so "golden" now coz starting from this year, it's a 3 days holiday compared to the previous 7 days. But actually it's Thurs, Fri & Sat. Daddy still has to work on Sun. Silly huh. ;p

We were supposed to go to a strawberry farm but it was cancelled, so we went out on our own to eat & shop at some of our favourite places - Tian Zi Fang for brunch, Xing Le Road, Chang Le Road followed by Huai Hai Road. We also found a new place called Three & Tree for our teabreak. It was recommended on TV a few nights ago. A huge group of French families occupied the main hall in the restaurant for a child's birthday - complete with sparklers on the cake! The menu looks good and even gives FREE kids menu to paying adults who order the main course. So worth it huh. The food looks nice but the portion was kinda small. I had warm chocolate cake which came with chinese "gou chi zi" and strawberries on top. Melted chocolate oozed out from inside. Looks good but sadly, it tastes of cheap chocolate with a weird after-taste. Daddy Elvis' free dessert that came with his meal also looks good but tastes horrible. Its kinda something sago-y. Hmm... Still, it might be worth a visit if you just wanna sit down, relax, have a cuppa coffe/tea after some shopping.

The weather was great, and quite warm at times. We came home in the evening coz we were so tired from all the walking. Also didnt bring the stroller out today, so Mommy carried a 8kg load, and Daddy a huge & heavy diaper bag. Will update photos next time. Another 2 days to enjoy our May holiday. ;)
