This morning hubs brought his Charlie's Angels to the Datuk Lee Chong Wei Sports Arena Sentosa to play badminton while I stayed home and burnt calories doing chores. Hubs used to bring the girls to the park to play or to our condo's pool to swim and play water guns when they were younger. And not forgetting the many trips to the indoor theme parks and kids' gyms where hubs would sacrifice the entire morning to have fun with them. He used to be the fun daddy who would play and be crazy with them. But when our pre-schoolers turned into tweens and then teens, these outings got fewer and then stopped as they no longer like theme parks and playgrounds. Plus daddy has always been super busy with work. Fortunately there's something that the girls and their dad like to do together at the court now besides eating. Besides badminton, the girls like to play basketball, just like their dad who's a basketball fanatic. They sometimes follow hubs to the basketball indoor court to watch tournaments.
After badminton, we had lunch at Banh Mi Cafe, a new Vietnamese street food cafe at our neighborhood.
Pho with tender pork knuckles and beef, BBQ squids, grilled quail and lemongrass turmeric frog.
Beef Pho, rice noodles salad with BBQ chicken, shrimp spring rolls and pork banh mi.
The Vietnamese desserts knocked my socks off and well worth the calories! I love every one of the unique dessert as they are all served with thick, luscious coconut milk while not being overly sweet. Diet be damned!
What an epicurean street feast we've had that was to be our lunch and dinner. As usual, hubs ordered too much again and that filled us up the entire day. Food was a delight and everyone enjoyed it. Prices of all the dishes on the menu are reasonable and definitely a bang for your buck. We'll definitely be back again soon!
After lunch, we segued next door to another newly opened coffee place - ZUS Coffee and took advantage of the buy-1-free-1 coffee promotion. I chose the pandan gula melaka coffee which hit all the right notes for me.
