A wasted trip

I made a wasted trip to Vivo Daiso. Half an hour's journey by bus and when I got there, after meeting a friend, we went up to Daiso and discovered it was closed. I mean not delayed opening but totally closed for stocktaking! Argh!!!

We decided to take the train over to Plaza Singapura where they have a smaller outlet. My time in the morning is very limited as shops usually open at 10am and I have to be home by 12pm to meet the school bus. So we only had time to go to one shop. I try not to drag princess out after school, whenever I can, unless it's those days when I clean the house in the morning.

Some new finds at Daiso - silicon jelly moulds in various shapes. Very cute.

Hubby didn't go in to work today, as he's been down with a bad throat, cough etc, for maybe a week now. But also the fact that he stayed up to watch the match this morning and he didn't have enough rest.

I picked up some sandwiches from this shop in PS called Bratwurst Shop or something (I'm really not good with details). They are quite popular for their sausages, large german ones. It's the first time I'm trying out their food and the sandwiches were really nice. Hubby had the Chicken Avocado and I had the Smoked Salmon. I found the salmon a little on the salty side. My mouth is still experiencing the salty feeling even though I had it some 5hrs ago. I ordered the Bratwurst Wrap for little girl. I chose the cheese sausage with tomato, lettuce and cheese in a tortilla wrap. She enjoyed it very much especially the sausage but it is a huge portion so she couldn't eat all of it.

For a treat, I got princess a piece of strawberry shortcake. I promised her a nice piece of cake for today as she was being grouchy last evening going to bed and giving daddy a hard time. Told her if she be good and go to sleep straightaway, I'd reward her. So made sure whatever I did, I didn't forget to buy one. Haha. Couldn't resist the little longan one. So pretty with the ribbon. She was complaining that her cake didn't come with one. Hehe. I found them at this bakery called Rive in the basement of PS. It is owned by the Pokka group.

On the way out of the building, I walked past Breadtalk. The little mooncakes selling for $1-3 caught my eye. Couldn't resist them. They are super tiny though, just 2 bites and they're gone. Have not tried them yet so can't comment on taste. Got 3 flavours - orange, chocolate and cappuccino. This year they went with the planets so we have Earth, Venus and Mercury. I know, I know, the fish teapot is not Chinese but I just wanted a pic of it. Was a gift from a cousin in Sydney many years ago.
