I had the afternoon off today and spent the early afternoon at the spa with KK, after which we picked up the girls early from the childcare centre and brought them to Pasir Ris Park. We love the huge playground there with the great variety of equipment - slides, swings, climbing nets, spinning dishes and balls, etc. I remember a friend telling me that gym classes are great for building self-confidence in children and I did consider enrolling the girls for such classes until I realised that hey they could also challenge themselves and develop self-confidence at a place like Pasir Ris Park and it doesn't cost me a cent and they get some fresh air too!
After the girls had their fun, we went looking for a place for dinner and ended up at Gobble, a new restaurant at one end of the park. I am so glad that we discovered this place as it is a real gem! It offers alfresco dining on a lovely unpretentious wooden deck overlooking the park and they screen soccer matches on a big screen (whoopee for KK). The food is great too and very reasonably priced. We had the 7 dish special where you select any 7 items from the ala carte menu for $19.90 but the portions are three quarters of the regular portion. This was perfect for us as we love to have variety and with the smaller portions we don't have the problem of not being able to finish the food. Gobble is definitely going to be one of my regular makan places from now on!

Ever tried West Coast Park? There's also Tiong Bahru Park, which has a playground area as well as a 'nature' area.
Yes we've been to West Coast Park a few times. It has the best playground equipment but it is too far away from home and gets quite crowded in the late afternoon even on weekdays. I have not heard of Tiong Bahru Park; thanks I'll check it out some time.
It's true that challenging physical activities build self confidence. Good for the girls to have outdoor activities, too.
