we shared a Starter: Onion Loaf (half) ($8.50) - onions were hand-cut, breaded, deep fried and served with BBQ Mayo dipping sauce. The onions were really sweet and crunchy. But the onion loaf should be eaten while it was hot, otherwise, it would be a little too oily.
The girls shared a Mushroom Soup ($6.50) which was creamy, full of mushroom bits and yummy as well as a Kid's Tenders ($8.50) which was slices of chicken breast fried in batter and served with french fries and a glass of ice lemon tea.
Hubby ordered a half slab of St Louis-Style Ribs ($18.90) done in Carolina Honey which was a blend of honey and molasses. It also came with his choice of two side dishes: coleslaw and french fries. I thought the ribs were a little too sweet but it was really tender and soft.
I ordered a Southwestern Chicken ($21.50). The chicken breast were marinated, covered with BBQ sauce, Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese, and then charbroiled. The chicken was then topped with a generous sprinkling of freshly diced tomatoes and green onions before being served. The chicken was full of flavour and juicy. It also came with two side dishes: coleslaw and rice. The rice was flavoured and fragrant and it went really well with the chicken. It was really tasty.
We walked around Suntec City for a while. The girls started saying they were thirsty and we saw Gelare. We decided to have dessert, lol. The girls had their Wild Strawberry ice cream, hubby had a small waffle with a scoop of Cappuccino ice cream and I had my scone and Earl Grey tea. The scone was really huge and ended up passing half to hubby, lol.

We got home and the girls rested for about 1.5 hours before we set out for Chinese Garden at 5pm for the girls' pre-school's Mid-Autumn Festival school-cum-family outing. The girls were really thrilled to be at the Chinese Garden. We had a simple buffet dinner (which was included) before walking round the Chinese Garden and snapping pictures. The girls also had their caricatures done. We managed to walk one round to see the various giant lantern displays before going back to the central stage at 7:45pm to watch the performances from Si Chuan: Chinese opera, acrobat, and the famous "Change Face". The girls were really amazed by how fast the performer could change each mask within 1/2 seconds. We didn't stay for the 10pm fireworks finale because it would be too late for the girls. We left after the Si Chuan performance. The girls couldn't stop talking about the Chinese Garden in the car and asked their father to take them there every day. Hahaha.

On a side note, who said all men can read maps?! Hubby couldn't. He got lost despite reading the map. The silly man got angry and wanted to just go home. He never cared that the girls would be devastated if he did that, especially if they have been looking forward to this school-cum-family outing for 2 weeks. In the end, me (a non-driver!) had to direct him. He went the wrong way again trying to get home and no prize for guessing who told him the correct way home. Lol.
