The 17th Century Spanish Warship Replica at Vivocity

On 5 June, Papa YT, Cayden, Yangming, Uncle Sam and I went Vivocity and we chanced upon a 17th century spanish warship replica that berthed outside the mall. Since the ship was opened to the public for touring, we went aboard. This replica is majestic in my opinion. I envied these countries with rich history to flaunt. I wished we could permanently have one in Singapore.
A rustic bell which Cayden touched and had his hand covered with a layer of the green algae. :)
The very big anchor!
On the deck, there was a canon firing stand. This is only one of the many machines on board.
A random chest that cannot be opened.... but we decided to take a photo with it anyway.
The warship steering wheel! It was supposed to be out of bounds but Cayden didn't care....
Peeping into the dining area of the marine soldiers... or maybe this is a meeting room?!
Moving down the deck to the bottom of the ship. I had difficulty moving down the stairs and transporting Cayden downn.... Papa YT to my rescue. :)
More canon firing machines at the bottom of the ship!
The 30 minutes tour was rather tiring hence we decided to go for a break at a dessert shop in Vivocity on ground floor. It was rather disappointing by my standards but looks like Cayden thinks otherwise...
We ordered the glutinous rice with mango and coconut milk and mango pomelo. Cayden didn't quite enjoy the pomelo dish. He complained about bitterness...


We ended the day with dinner at "Zhen Fa Live Seafood" at Sunset Way. Dinner was awesome! Mama could not joined as her maternity confinement was not over yet. We did promise her to bring her there soon. We all missed the alfresco dining ambience. :) We decided that Uncle Chris and Aunty Janet would agree with us too... we are all looking forward to their return to Singapore soon. :)

As usual, connoisseur self entertained with his own facial expressions.

Uncle Sam enjoying his dinner. :)

So did Aunty Yangming and Cayden!
And Grandma!
What did we actually ate that evening....? Get ready for the juicy details!
Delicious chilli crab with fried bun to dip in the chilli sauce... yummy!

Carbs! Sum Lo Hor Fun... I personally felt that this dish lacked the wok taste..
Yam Ring! My favourite... the cashew nuts were generously spreaded on the dish. I love the sweet onion and the "gong-po" chicken.

Broccoli with scallops... and the scallops were very fresh!
Fried rice... not bad! Preferably to eat with the Sambal chilli...

It's late at night now... Aunty Linda is hungry after posting this piece... time for supper!
