Breakfast with horses; Dinner with Raphael

A beautiful Saturday morning with some light drizzle. Off we set to Bukit Timah Saddle Club for breakfast. After reading Gek Eng's blog, I've got tempted to try out the breakfast and see the environment. We jio all the early birds who are willing to wake up early on a Saturday morning to come together with us for the "excursion".

Riders Cafe is a non airconditoned cafe situated inside the saddle club. Here, you can watch horses prance around especially on weekends when riders take lessons, in a pleasant open air environment with high ceilings. The outdoor seats by the balcony are always the most popular. It is a relatively small place so reservations are advised on weekends. As it was our first time there, we did not plan to make any reservations. When we reached, we were told that we had to wait 1 hour for a table! But seems luck was with us because one of the reservation was cancelled at the last minute and we were able to take over their table after waiting for about 20mins.

Review:
Food: 9/10
Location: 5/10 (Pls do not go if you do not drive!)
Atmosphere: 8/10 (It's nice to see horses trottling by while having your breakfast)
Service: 8.5/10
Price: 6/10 (1 adult breakfast range from $10-$14, exclude drinks)

Evening time, we went over to Gek Eng's house for dinner and visit Raphael's playroom. They just had it fully carpetted few months ago so Raphael could play inside without afraid he would fall and knock his head hard onto the ground. It's a good idea and it looks like those angmor house where the whole house usually are carpetted. But maintenance might be a hassel. If food/liquid drops onto the carpet, it can be a disaster. So Hui will never agree for me to carpet the princesses' room.

Thanks to Gek Eng & Ben for the host and the delicious self-cook spagetti + KFC dinner! The girls had a fun time in the playroom and K.O right after we got into the car all the way until the next morning!

I didnt took alot of photos because Gek Eng kept snapping away. So I let her do the job while I enjoyed the moments watching the kids playing and throwing toys all over the place!
