Sesame Street Character Breakfast

Super belated entry. Better late than never! Heh heh! ｡(*^▽^*)ゞ

I went to USS's Sesame Street Character breakfast with my sister and hubby. Obviously we don't have high expectations for the food since the main highlight is meeting the Sesame street characters.. and we were right cos the food was horrible.

TL;DR review

Food: 2/10 

Service: 5/10

Ambiance: 8/10

It is buffet style so service cannot be really measured that way. I rate it so low because you have to fight for the photo opportunity with the characters.. Cos they only have a fixed timing they are out and if the inconsiderate idiots seated in front hogs up all their time, the characters will leave and you won't have a chance to take picture with them. They seriously have to do better time management cos it is unfair to people sitting near the wall.

Also the rest of the service staff are very nua. Not enthusiastic at all and some of them just looked bored. Like come on.. this is a themepark! PRETEND TO BE HAPPY CAN? #Fail

The number 1 requirement for themepark staff should be enthusiasm... which is lacking in a lot of USS staff members. There are very good ones but super rare.. like those legendary pokemon.

Bought our tickets online and collected at the ticket counter

The park opens early for the breakfast (rides are still closed) so it's deserted!

The buffet is at Louis pizza.

Exchange your tickets for a wrist band.

Like this! (My sister's slender arm)

You will receive a goody bag!

It contains a plastic Elmo plate which we sold away on Carousell. LOL!

ヽ(＊>∇<)ﾉ

As usual, we are one of the first few to arrive.

I am kiasu like that.

World's most horrible bread pudding and waffle.

I THINK those are waffles.. cos they taste like rubber. Yuck.

This guy looks extremely bored. He don't respond to you when you talk to him.

The buffet line

Mostly are frozen food.. I didn't take much.

The cupcakes and cookies look very cute but taste horrible.

There's this plastic synthetic taste to it. Urgh.

But good picture opportunity though... hahahaha!

My sister arranged everything so nicely.. with flowers somemore.

*:ﾟ*｡⋆ฺ(*´◡`)

COOKIE MONSTER!

After that we went for ice-cream! I love the soft serve at USS!

Walked around and took a few rides before heading back. Our passes will expire next year in April/May so we must utilize it more and visit more often! YAY!

Chili's at RWS

Went to Chili's with my sister and le hubby for lunch!

I really really like the food at Chili's. I used to visit them quite often but after going to USA and eating it for a fraction of the price there.. everytime I visit the one in Singapore I feel very ripped off cos it's so much more expensive here... So I go less often nowadays unless I have a craving for good ribs, yummy chiptole chicken and corn. (Yes, becoming so aunty nowadays).

They have the BEST corn ever. 《《o(≧◇≦)o》》

Corn.. gimme corn!

I will chop up the corn so it's easier to eat. This plate has 3 corn's worth.

The ribs are really nice too, but I prefer the chicken.

Tried their new dessert but I prefer the old chocolate molten cake.

HELLO KITTY GO AROUND SINGAPORE.. AGAIN!

After my successful fishing trip on Monday, I went back again on Tuesday for another fishing session! We did not take any pictures cos we were late and I only had slightly over 1 hour to concentrate and catch as many as I can with 50 coupons. Le hubby did not want to try cos he said it's a waste of money as I am better at it.. but it's so tiring to try catching for so many times non-stop cos I have to keep my arm really steady and still. Anyway, the music stopped at 8pm and I was left with 2 coupons! Luckily the organizers let me continue cos the rule is that all games stops once the music is stopped. And yes, I managed to catch 2 fishes with those 2 coupons!! Wheee!

Today I went back again with my sister! Which means it is my 4th visit in less than a week! Though my first visit was not to catch goldfishes... so that makes 3 fishing trips! Hahahahahaha!

I am flying off to Perth tomorrow afternoon so there's no chance to go back anymore. The staff keep asking me to go back, especially my number 1 supporter Trina (the postcard girl!).. but I told them it is really my last visit cos I will be away for 2 weeks and by the time I come back will be the last day of the event and I don't want to attend on the last day cos it's a public holiday and it will be super crowded.

Maybe it's a good thing that I will be away for 2 weeks because it is an addiction lah! I will just keep having the urge to go back and catch more goldfish even though I have so many already. Heh heh!

Le hubby drove us there and said he will wait outside cos no point paying the admission ticket to go in again since he already went in 3 times. We reached at around 6.45pm so the place was deserted as usual cos it's a weekday evening and it closes at 8pm. There were only another couple around who were trying their luck at other games. 

My sister went around the whole place taking pictures in epic record time (less than 5mins) while I was buying the game coupons. She said it's super fast cos there's totally no crowds and the staff were all very helpful to help her take pictures. Then we went to catch goldfish!

A lot of the staff recognized me from my previous 2 visits and crowded around the stall to watch. She observed me for a while before trying. I told her my game strategy and pointed out the ones to aim for and she was a very quick learner. I played for 20 rounds before handing the rod to her to try. She caught one on her 2nd try! Very very good! So proud of her! I went to buy more coupons cos I only bought 30 at first. While I was at the cashier, I kept hearing the bell ring! Which means she was on a roll! Combo combo catch! 

Afterwards she told me that while I was buying more game coupons, one of the staff asked if she is my real sister, like blood sisters from the same parents. She said yes and he asked what kind of water did we drink when we were young to make us so good at fishing. LOL!!! What kind of question is that? Hahahahahaha!!

She got tired after a while and asked me to take over. Between the 2 of us, we broke my personal record! Today is the best haul out of my 3 fishing trips. It's good to have a fishing buddy cos it's tiring to hold onto the rod. With a buddy, I can rest and she takes over. When she's tired, I'll take over. No downtime at all! Woohooo!

#success #goldfishftw #taysistersrepresent #brokerecord

Trina was busy doing stock counting for her postcards so she couldn't be there to support us and ring the bell except for a few rounds. Thank you girl for the love! :)

Total number of goldfishes: 46

We caught so much, they had to give us a bigger box this time and bring in extra boxes (see back of the pic) to stock up for tomorrow's crowds. Oops!

Afterwards we met up with Le Hubby who looked surprised when I carried the huge carton box. It was so big I couldn't see in front of me and my sister had to lead the way verbally. He asked how many did we catch and I just asked him to guess.. he couldn't guess and I asked him to carry the box instead and he went "Woah! Confirm break record!" cos it's the heaviest out of the 3 fishing trips.. and he was right!

 Behold! My Goldfish Army!

＼\ ٩( ᐛ )و /／

Le hubby was bathing and when he came out of the bathroom he got a shock because he said there were so many dolls with their backsides facing him. He didn't realized I have so many cos they were in the carton boxes and the quantity looks much lesser when they are in the boxes.

So yes, that concludes my Hello Kitty Go Around Singapore adventure! I heard that they will be going to Kuala Lumpur in December! I asked Le hubby if I should make a trip down to KL to fish for the goldfishes and he firmly said "NO!". #JustKiddingLah

Happy Birthday to me!

Today is my actual birthday! Le hubby bought me a huge bouquet of flowers from my favourite florist, Bloom Room to surprise me when he picked me up from work. Awwww! So sweet of him! 

I had a $100 Jumbo membership birthday voucher and I can use it with minimum spending of $200. Knowing that Le hubby and me can never ever hit the $200 mark before GST and service fee, I decided to invite and treat my friends and sister for a birthday dinner at Jpot Tampines!

There were 6 of us and there's so much food on the table but the total bill was only $140++ and we needed $200 before we can use the voucher. In the end we were just randomly ordering items off the menu trying to close the gap. Also ordered a lot of desserts... The final bill was $202.00! So proud of us! Hahahaha! So I paid $102 + GST + service fee for the dinner. Works out to be around $20 per person which was very reasonable. Service was impeccable as usual!

My sister baked my birthday cake! It's a tofu cheesecake, same as the one she made last year but this year's version is much much better. Like the 2.0 version. The crust was thick and buttery (shiok!!) and it was creamy and cheesy and smooth. 👍 👍 👍 She's been practicing a lot and also doing dessert tables for her friends' wedding. She could have done mine 2 years ago lah.. I paid $950 and I don't even know how it looks like. 😒

Another year older! Nothing really special about my actual day that's why I went to work today instead of taking leave.. Anyway to me, a birthday celebration is not enough, it has to be a birthmonth celebration! Hahahahaha! As many cakes as possible! Wheeee!

(人’∀’)＜“Happy birthday to me ♪”

Thank you le hubby for the lovely flowers!
