Pet-friendly High Tea

There is a 1 for 1 high tea promotion at Si Chuan Dou Hua from now till 31st July. The only requirement is you need to bring your furkid(s) along. Wow ~ that’s a great news for pawparents. 

Although the alfresco dining area is sheltered but it’s a bit stuffy. They do provide fans but can still feel hot. As for the food wise, there are 9 items in each high tea set and we were served with Pu Erh tea. The 9 items are handmade and I like most of them. The dishes include smoked duck dumplings, crispy beancurd rolls, carrot cake, and more. 

Instead of letting your furkid(s) to dine with you with an empty stomach, they gave complimentary handmade treats for your furkid(s). 

Si Chuan Dou Hua is located in Beach Road and you need to make reservation before heading to the place. The sets are served daily from 2.30pm to 6pm, at SGD 55++ per pax and requires minimum of at least 2 diners. 

As usual, end this with a family photo :)

Pet-friendly Mall and Pet-friendly Restaurant

After eating at The Great Nanyang Heritage Cafe, hubby and I brought Oscar to Vivocity. Vivocity allowed pets to enter the mall as long as in the strollers. 

Hubby and I shopped for a while and managed to buy the stuff we wanted while Oscar accompanied us.

After shopping for a few hours, we were tired. So, we went to the highest floor of Vivocity for dining. 

The place we dined is quite popular, which I think I do not need much introduction. It is the Surrey Hills Grocer. This branch in Vivocity is Safari themed and there are many moving animals in the restaurant. The environment is also very greenery. 

I think the best part to dine in Surrey Hills Grocer is you get to dine indoor with your furkid(s). And, they have Pet Menu which you can order for your furkid(s) as well. 

I think this branch is famous for their Hokkien Mee, but I didn't order cause still full. So, hubby and I ordered the following:

Corn and Crab Chowder

              Pistachio Raspberry Cake

 Double Scoops Gelato

     

 I managed to take a few photos of Oscar with the animals. 

Surrey Hills Grocery has a few pet-friendly branches and you may consider visiting this branch if you happened to be in Vivocity with your furkid(s). 

As usual, end it with a family photo. :)

Pet-friendly cafe (budget-friendly)

Hubby and I brought Oscar, our furkid to try out a new eatery in Geneo, Kent Kridge. The place is called The Great Nanyang Heritage cafe. The outdoor of the cafe is pet-friendly. Although it is outdoor, but the environment is cooling. 

When arrived, there were many people dining with their furkids. Hubby and I managed to get a table and we ordered the food and drinks via the QR code. 

This place is suitable for those who like Asian food. They have combination of Nonya, Malaysia and local food. I ordered the Penang Prawn Mee and my hubby ordered the Chicken Berempah Nasi Lemak. Well, not forgetting the Kaya Butter Toast which is one of my favourite. The Kaya Butter Toast is so crispy and the butter portion given is so generous (thick).

The staff helped us to take photo. Really thankful to him. 

The outdoor seating are quite limited. So, better go during non-peak hours or if you're fortunate enough, you might get your seats during peak hours though. The price for the dishes are quite reasonable. Our bill after ordered two main dishes, two kaya butter toasts and 2 drinks is less then SGD 40. 

The milo (kao with less sweet) is very nice. 

Before going back, I took some photos to let you see the cafe environment. 

Pet Grooming

Recently, hubby and I brought Oscar to grooming. I’m sure some paw parents may want to find out where to bring your furkid(s) for grooming.

Oscar usual grooming place is at The Pets Workshop. Hubby and I will bring him to his usual stylist at the Nex branch. So it’s about 2 months or 2.5 months, we will bring Oscar for full grooming.

The full grooming package includes the basic grooming such as 

• Nail clipping and filing
• Ear cleaning
• Brushing and combing
• Clipping of paw pad
• Sanitary trimming
• Expressing of anal gland 
• Bathing and drying

And fur trimming and styling. The only different between basic grooming and full grooming is full grooming includes fur trimming and styling where u get to choose what type of grooming style you want for your furkid(s). 

                           

                                      

The shop offered packages for you to buy if you are regular customers which enable you to have some discounted price for each grooming session. They also offered spa packages but I have yet to let Oscar try it.

                                   

Pet Expo

Last year didn’t get to bring Oscar to Pet Expo cause we were overseas, but this year we went. 

There are many stalls and were quite crowded even we went on Friday afternoon. 

Hubby and I managed to buy some bibs from Momoji Pets, some Fuzzyard toys and goat milk from Korea. Didn’t get to buy any treats or food for Oscar though. 

This is one of the biggest pet event and it’s on 25th April (Friday), 26th April (Saturday) and 27th April (Sunday), 10 am to 8 pm. You need buy tickets to enter. The ticket price is SGD5 per pax for one day or SGD12 per pax for three days if you purchase online.

It’s once a year kinda of thing so if you have the time, can consider go with your furkid. 

Pet-friendly Restaurant to have Dim Sum

During Easter day, hubby and I decided to bring Oscar out to try out a dim sum place nearby Orchard area.

It's Black Society. Their dim sum selections are quite a lot. Their dim sum price is at the high end but the shop offered 30% discount for all dim sum if you dine in during 2.30pm to 5pm, from Monday to Saturday, except Sunday and public holiday. I ordered a few dim sum as shown below. 

Jade Queen Shumai

                                                

Famous Chilli Crab Tarts

Tobiko Egg White Dumpling

Miss Piggy Custard Buns

I also ordered their Signature King Har Kao but didn't manage to take a nice photo of it. Overall, their dim sum are fresh and yummy. As for drinks, you can choose from various types of drinks. Hubby and I chose chrysanthemum tea which comes in a medium size kettle. 

The al fresco area although is not air-conditioned but it's quite comfortable and not stuffy. Out of the five dim sum I tried, I like the Famous Chili Crab Tarts the most as it's quite special and the sauce is flavorful. 

Lastly, I would recommend this dim sum place to anyone who wants to bring their furry kids along while getting to enjoy nice dim sum. Took the below photo to show you the al fresco area which is pet-friendly. 

Seaside and cycling

Oscar went to East Coast Park. Hubby and I rented a bike which can accommodate Oscar as well. It’s SGD 40 for 2 hours ride.

Oscar was a bit nervous at first but after riding for a few minutes he got used to it. I also put Oscar on the front bike which had a seat and Oscar enjoyed viewing the seaside and people around. 

The rental price of the bike I mentioned is for weekday. It’s quite a big bike and my hubby and I got tired after riding for a while. We stopped by a few times to buy drinks and viewed the seaside. It’s quite a good experience. If your furkid is small size and you wanna bring him to experience different things, can consider this option.
