E C P (East Coast Park) on 9 Nov 2008

Due to LL's constant cravings of biking, we have arranged to meet at East Coast Park this morning at 8:45am.

Guess what? We have received a morning call via sms from LL at 8:05am ... when I first read the sms, I just wanted to burst out laughing as we were about to get out of house to ECP !

Anyhow we reached ECP's carpark about 8:45am and it was a blessings to see so many parking lots. Ah Fang, BC, JL & Ryan were already at Mcdonalds. While waiting for Ah Tiang and LL, we ordered some food and drinks to fill up the empty tummies first.

After some light breakfast, we went to the nearest bicycles' kiosk to rent bicycles. The rental fee per bicycle was $6 for 2 hours. On the way there, we saw Jo and have a short chat with her. We got our desired bicycles and proceeded to cycle along the track that led to the Bedok Jetty.

It have been ages since I have cycled and rather worried whether i can take the physical exertion a not ? Haha ... it was true, when you did not exercise often, your stamina did not last for long ! It was quite a ride ! There were many cyclists, roller-skaters, joggers, strollers with their pets etc in the park. ECP has not lost it's appeal after many years for family gatherings. The morning air was fresh and you feel pretty good after the ride ! It was a very good day today, it was not very hot !





We were all quite beaten after the 2 hours ride except the 2 kids. They seems to have abundant energy ! And the adults were hungry !

We settled down in a Japanese and Korean restaurant. Haha, this was called "replenishing" our lost energy with good food. You don't feel so bad eating the food since you know that you have "compensated" through 2 hours of cycling ! This was called "consoling ourselves" !!! Hee hee. The restuarant is small and but the food they served were pretty tasty ! Check the verdicts from various friends below ! (BTW, my poor friends cannot eat the food till I've photographed all of the dishes ! hahaha)


Ryan (Chicken Curry Rice) : Eaten this dish and it was good so I would order again !


CK (Bibimbap) : Taste good ! Recommended !


Jun Long (Takoyaki) : Nice !!! Good to eat !


Lee Lim (Beef Don) --> Hmm ... quite normal lah ...


Ah Tiang, Bee Cheng & Me (Spicy Chicken Don) --> Good taste, recommended !!


Ah Fang (Korean noodles, not "Japanese noodles as indicated earlier .. Ah Fang, thanks for pointing out in the comments) : Not bad... nice ....


Below were food ordered that were shared around. The chicken wings were superly good !!





We stayed for quite a while at the restaurant to chat and rest. We talked about the coming Birthdays for Esther (Nov) and Ah Tiang (Dec). We would celebrate Esther's birthday next Sunday at Mushroom Pot at the newly opened Millenium Walk. We have also decided that Christmas would be celebrated on 25 Dec at our house. The 2 kids were excited as they can forseen a day of playing Nintendo WII at our house !

Finally finally, we have decided on our NEXT VACATION ! It will be in Hong Kong next year in early Nov 2009 !!! So ladies, save up now ! We would do "audit" check once in a while to make sure that you have saved money for this trip !!!
