Eventful Sunday!

Lunch at Element Fresh
1st dining experience here was great! We always head to Sanlitun, Swenson and other restaurants at CBD and Shunyi for meals but never in Lido. So we decide to go somewhere nearer from our place, Element Fresh in Lido. It serves American cuisine and was voted the "Best Brunch 2010" and "Best Family Dining 2010" restaurant by the expat magazine - The Beijinger. Indeed, the foods are yummy and healthier choice. The baby highchair is so comfy that Zq requested to sit in it when he saw An An enjoying himself in it! He has rejected baby chair for so long when we dine out :p

Thumbs up for the food, the service and the ambience! Will definitely back again!

Side Park 四德公园
Beijing has so many parks that we love to explore one by one.. This park is at Lido, a very quiet but beautiful park. There's a huge fishing pond and the landscape is so nice with vast patches of grass and flat contour. We have discovered another perfect spot for picnic! And it's a good place for the boys to kick ball and run about. And there is another "treasure" within the park, the weekend book stall! The selection of the English books is great and at affordable pricing. I bought the whole lot (more than 10 books i think) at 120 yuan (S$24). Even Dear said it's a steal! I am happy to grab some board books, Baby Einstein, Toy story etc.. And of course, we will definitely back again! :)


IKEA
Just a 10mins drive from the park, we reached the ever crowded IKEA. The boys had fall asleep so i am more than happy to do the shopping myself! With such a super crowd, i guess it's better for me to "chiong" and buy whatever i want myself to be more effective. Bought some stuff for the boys and the house as i am "revamping" some corners of the house to make them more "purposeful". I want to set up a mini library/ reading corner, a play area (where all the toys placed), an activity corner (where they do art & craft and studying). Hence, i need to get some furnitures to make these corners serve their objectives! Time to spend money again! Boohoo :p

Solana
To our favourite shopping centre! It's a kids-friendly mall with a wide varieties of merchandises for everyone in the family. And i love to bring the boys to see people ice-skating, Zq always bugged me that he wanted to skate as well but i am not sure whether he's too young for that.. Maybe when he turn 5 year old? The boys had their milk there and i continued my shopping at 北京同仁堂 and BHG Supermarket.
He looks like me more and more.. My Ang Ku Kueh! Sweet! :)


What a happy and tiring Sunday!
