Unfortunately, we are unable to celebrate CNY this year. Due to the passing of my grandmother during the end of December last year.
This week, we were mostly on leave as my mother in law went back home to prepare for CNY. So on Monday 16th Feb 2015, we took the chance to go to Takashimaya / Ngee Ann City for some much needed shopping.
First, we went to Crystal Jade La Mian Xiao Long Bao for lunch. Having went to the Crystal Jade Palace Restaurant previously, I am quite confident that this outlet will be quite spacious.
As we reached the entrance of the restaurant, we were promptly greeted and asked whether we need a baby chair when they saw Jaron. We asked for a baby chair and we were guided to our seats and where we can place his stroller. (some restaurants' staff do not bother to guide/assist even though we struggle to find an area to place the stroller)
It is spacious inside and we were able to walk in comfortably despite my big belly.
We were seated near the corner and there's plenty of space. I did not even need to push the table out to accommodate my big belly!
Plenty of spaces behind so its easier for us to put and remove him from the baby chair
Belly Awesome
So after lunch, we went to shop for a jacket for Jaron. Now, not that we do not want to buy a jacket for him after so long, but Jaron tends to feel warm easily growing up, so most of the time a jacket is not required.
But the school requested us to put one in his bag, in cases when he feels cold, so we have to get one. We can bring the jacket out anyway for just in cases.
We shopped around at Children's Wear @ Level 4 of the Takashimaya Department Store, trying desperately to not go to the toys area, lol. We finally settled with this one after comparing prices and this seems to be more "wu hua".

After shopping for Jaron's jacket, my wife's handbag and my perfume, we decided to head to TWG Tea @ Level 2 Takashimaya Department Store to drink some tea and take a short break before we head home.
As we reached the cafe, we were greeted promptly and guided inside, The staff did not offer a baby chair as they saw Jaron, So we asked for one. It turns out that they do not have baby chairs. I was a bit surprised as most restaurants / cafes have them, even The Prata Place has them.
Anyways, its good that at least the chairs are armchairs so Jaron still can sit in them safely. Its also quite spacious inside. And as I struggled to find an area to put his stroller, I was not guided by the staff. So I just gestured to the staff to help to take one chair away so I can place it beside me.
I ordered a Chocolate fudge, which is served with a Singapore Breakfast Tea ice cream. The fudge is quite hard, I had to use a knife to cut it. Its a little bit too sweet for my liking, but the ice cream is nice. The taste of the tea is not overpowering and pretty refreshing.
On Tuesday 17th Feb 2015, Jaron went to school for CNY celebration. Great that he made it in time as he recovered from his illness.
Happy CNY to everyone and hope all kids stay healthy!
