http://yum.sg/?component=view_restaurant&restaurant_id=1690
i will recommend you to try Sobasei Japanese Restaurant at 11 Japanese Garden Road. Me & hubby always like to dine there. Z loves their Jap bento very much too
And Jurong West St 52 Market & Hawker Centre also have variety of nice food, like:
There are several fish soup stall at this market What I can said is each to it's own choice but the best fish soup stall is call "Heng Heng"...always long Q & their home made chilli is shiok ah!
There's one selling porridge and chicken last time from Bugis called Su Ji. Porridge is watery type.
There's one stall selling fish ball noodle last time from bugis and was feature in the Makan places Lost & found. The Bowl is black in colour.
There's one stall Kou Wei selling roasted delicacy, the suckling pig is quite good. (This is the same stall selling the chicken rice at Kovan if I remeber correctly.)
There's one stall selling tonic soup facing the car park. Soup not bad. Also have claypot rice stall.
Just beside it there's 1 zhi char stall last time from Bugis also not bad.
And if there's someone here who enjoy queuing for Guo Ji wantan Mee at Lavendar Food Court, there's one here also.
U go there & explore ok...now got CNY flee market...can go shop shop look c

tongtong,
Hubby wants to go for the upcoming Shanghai Expo, around Aug, I think. Not sure if wants to bring whole kampung or not. Good thing is have spare hands to help with the kids, but on the other hand, can't enjoy as much cos have to take good care of the elderly.
Steph,
Oh the Jap food near Jap garden nice ah. Can ask hubby to go try. Can let the kids enjoy the garden/park, then have dinner there
Mandy,
Are you Hakka? We always go to the hawker centre next to the Boon Lay Shopping Centre for the "lui cha fan" 擂茶饭. Very nice, maybe nicest in Singapore

We still haven't introduce sword and gun to HR yet, don't know how he would take those toys. That day he saw hubby using a hammer fixing something, he got very interested. My bro bought him a tool set as his birthday present, he only liked the hammer, and used it to knock on everything and anything, including his meimei's head!!! After that, we have to keep the hammer and the tool set away, to save meimei
Steph,
Wah, you really know where to go for food ya. Thanks for sharing, but we never liked Gor Hiong :-(

6 mths ago, we introduced the fisher price toolbench with hammer to Z. It was a gift in 2008 xmas from his great grandaunty but we only opened it last yr July. Starting he had so much fun knocking everything & anything but now he just cast it one side till R took it & played with it recently. Then he realise it's a treasure to him! He wants it back now *duh* so we opened another xmas present for R last yr, the Little Tikes Discover Sounds Hammer...he is having fun shaking/knocking it on/off as it produces sounds

Reason why i am asking cos for the past few years, my hb n I have been having 2 dinners for CNY eve. 5pm with my side and 7pm with his side. Very stressful to run both side and always eat until too full.
Anyone in the same situation?
My MIL think we (me and my BIL's wife) are very lucky that she allows us to go back to our own family for reunion dinner on CNY eve. But this year, my BIL's wife becomes more daring, she asked my BIL to tell his parents to change the CNY reunion dinner to lunch so that they can have reunion dinner with her side of family, which start to cause alot of unhappiness in the family.
Anyway, my hb n I rejected their idea, cos feel that my PIL will be very poor thing if 2 old people are going to eat alone on CNY eve dinner.

Kam,
ur so lucky. I also love to eat with my parents side, cos alot of pple, very fun and enjoyable. My IL side only PIL, my hb n i, BIL n SIL, quite boring. We usually eat with my side at 5pm then go over to my IL's side for 2nd round before returning to my parents house for further gathering..hehhe.

shannonbaby,
We used to have 2 reunion dinners on the eve, and yes, it's very stressful and often ate until stomach was going to burst. So for these 2 years, we have changed to 1 lunch and 1 dinner. It's much better. Lucky for us, IL never said anything, they are ok with anything one.
As long as you have reunion lunch/dinner on the eve, think it's ok? Does it have to be dinner? Most important is to have the whole family gather together and wish everyone a good year ahead, right? Unless your ILs are very particular on having a reunion dinner than lunch.

Kam,
My ILs is very particular. They say reunion dinner means dinner. No point having lunch. Then say we (me and SIL) very lucky that they allows us to go back for reunion dinner with our own parents.
Then my hb very angry, say why only both of us (me and SIL) so troublesome. All his friends' wife also never go back to parents side for CNY eve dinner (usually if yes, is one day earlier or one week earlier). Then my turn to be angry with my hb! I told him I had been with his family for 5 years, never once i requested to change their reunion dinner to lunch, and I let them choose their timing before my family choose their timing. My parents also never insist we must have dinner at 7pm, unlike my PIL. SIL only 2nd year with the family, then make this stupid request.
So sians that every year CNY dinner also must argue n quarrel without fail on the arrangement. I thought the timing already fix, my side 5pm then his side 7pm for the past few years. And this year even worst cos of my stupid SIL request. Not my fault wat.

shannonbaby,
Daughters are also children what...cannot go home for reunion dinner meh?? My side got 3 siblings all married whereas my hubby's side only he's married and my SIL still single. So every year will co-ordinate with my side 1st then decide which day to eat where. Usually it's dinner on CNY eve and the day before on each side. If CNY eve is weekends then we do one side lunch and the other dinner. The important thing is to have a family reunion, doesn't really matter if it's on CNY eve or not right?

Ya lor, just follow your usual arrangement.
Yvonne,
Ya, in Singapore it's easy to run 2 places. In Malaysia, a married daughter usually is not able to have reunion dinner because of the distance. Usually a married daughter only allowed (esp those follow tradition strictly ones) to visit her own family on either the 2nd or the 4th day of CNY, according to the tradition. For me, haha, it's just across the road, very lucky me, and that makes my dad very happy
