darling and i planned a staycation for the in-laws. the in-laws helped us alot in renovating our new house.
we chose grand mercure roxy because it is in the east, and is a place where the in-laws seldom go to. and the east is a food heaven, so we can treat them to have good meals 24/7.
the first meal for them is kay lee roast meat at tanjong katong road. i am very familiar with tanjong katong road because my sec sch was at that area. :)
not very cheap. half a roast duck cost $25 and the char siew must buy at the minimum price of $10. the char siew is damn good. melts in the mouth. roast duck is good too. especially the duck skin. hahaha. father in-law totally love them and wanted to buy again the next day.
after checking in we went to 112 katong to watch 'Mermaid', directed by stephen chow. the movie was a treat from darling's little sis.
very nice movie with lots of humour and also inculcate an educational theme on the importance of conserving marine biodiversity. i think is nicer than aaron kwok's Journey To The West. sorry aaron kwok. #showluobetter #dengchaobetter
after the movie, darling's little sis have craving for ice cream and we went to cafe 9:30 (by awfully chocolate). she bought the dark chocolate ice cream. #caloriesintakeneedtomaintain
we went back to the hotel room to wait for xuanxuan and her family. i booked two rooms and we are so glad to be given the connecting rooms. xuanxuan had lots of fun running from room to room.
dinner was at roland restaurant!
roland restaurant is known to be the founder for sg's chilli crab. the gravy is really good and matches very well with white rice. we also ordered the crab vermicelli, hor fun and a vege dish.
the next morning we walked to marine parade hawker centre for a very sumptous breakfast. after that i sent darling and the in-laws to kay lee to da bao roast duck for their dinner, while i went to fort canning hotel for weiquan's wedding lunch.
and that concludes my meaningful weekend! glad to see that the in-laws enjoyed the staycation. :)
