Morris’s BIG THREE Minions celebration was a huge success! Thank you to our families for taking time off to attempt our little terror’s celebration and it mean a lot to our family. This time round, we hold it within our humble premises with only immediate families invited to the party for about 15 of us. We intend to DIY the decors as well as dessert table on the day so we have taken almost a week to prepare all the props beforehand. We also made the right decision to cater the mini buffet spread as well as ordering his birthday cake from The cakerie club because it save time and quality is assured. This is pasted at the door prior entrance. Best thing is that self-collection is in PUNGGOL which is really convenient for us! I will definitely order from her again next year! :) It comes in a beautiful box which enhance the whole decoration for our dessert table. This is how our Dessert table looks like!!!! Drum roll............!

Morris‘s favourite character is Minion. Weird thing is that he doesn’t watch the Minion movie at all and shows little interest in the banana song so I am guessing that it is the striking yellow color that caught his attention. Either way, he demanded for a Minion theme birthday celebration for his BIG THREEs! On and off will be asking us about his Minion birthday if it is coming and also if he is getting a Minion birthday cake? LOL! Kids these days are definitely getting smarter as they grow to know of things they want at such a young age. To satisfy this small wish of his for a minion celebration, we begin brainstorming on what to do for his birthday celebration. Since 2 years old celebration, we have been keeping it a rather cosy event where we only invite immediate family members from both sides and come together for a meal and a cake cutting session. This year is slightly different as he begins school and we will be celebrating in school as well as his party at home. School wise, it will be simple with a cake cutting and gifts for his fellow classmates. For the home party, we decided to stick to Meihao99 for their mini buffet catering since the review was good last year. We love their curry chicken and it is fuss free ordering since MOQ for mini buffet is 15 pax which is about ideal for our small party. Next question is whether should I bake a birthday cake for Morris this year but after much consideration, I decided to chicken out this year because I felt pressurized since he has been so excited about his upcoming minion birthday cake. After hearing some reviews from the JJB mommies, we went ahead to order his Minion birthday cakes (for both school and home celebration) from The Cakerie Club. This home baker is located in Punggol and her price is really reasonable. I will review again upon trying the cake.

Something small but it excites Morris as he immediately requested for 1 set for himself. It comes with Notebook, pencils, ruler, eraser as well as a pencil case. I added it to the Prime wishlist and ship out via EZBUY since shipping is cheap despite these are bulky.
Bought perler beads and made some of these minion coaster to fit the theme as well. Very easy to assemble but just a little time consuming because we need to put them 1 by 1. Definitely love how it turn out to be! Morris requested to see the Pandas again for the zoo trip this time round so we decided to cover River safari for the weekend journey as Friends of the zoo. Love the layout and structure of River safari better as it is mostly sheltered which is less humid and some of the sectors are fully air-conditioned as well. We are very fortunate this time round to see huge actions from the Pandas especially Kai Kai who was stretching up the tree to take carrot to eat.
The second year where Changi Airport have initiated on a campaign call “Changi Loves Kids” where the group wishes to create a kids’ friendly destination for families to shop, dine and play in. Basically, the campaign is to create awareness of the shops in the Airport by organizing a series of activities and enhancement initiatives to focus on offering the best for the little visitors. The organizing committee seems to have some serious thoughts to the promotion as it is rather extensive. There are many restaurants collaborating with the Airport as they provide “Kids Dine Free” promotion (solely for lunch time on weekends only). This is especially good for us as Morris started eating more each day and we thought it might be good weekend activities for the boy. We invited grandparentsKWAN and UncleKWAN to join us for the lunch and carnival games as we picked ThaiExpress for lunch while Xin Wang Hong Kong Café for desserts. Riding on the kids Dine free promotion, we managed to redeem Complimentary Honey Chicken with Rice and Iced Lemon Tea from ThaiExpress as well as the Cheese Baked Rice with mushroom from Xin Wang (both value above $10). Sharing below with the requirements at both restaurants.
I would think that this campaign entices our family to head to Changi Airport for meals. The rides are indoor and the queue today seems rather manageable for us. There are many restaurant choices available varies across cuisines. Just that the parking is expensive at the airport that makes us think twice. Morris likes to see airplane and he loves roaming around the airport which makes the trip worth it.
If you have yet to visit the airport for the event, do check it out! It is a good place to spend half a day while getting your active toddler KO. 😊 |
