The Missus received a treat from her boys and had high tea with her long time friend, Auntie Rose.
The Missus arrived early but the Secret Garden filled up quickly. She noted the acoustics was quite loud when the place is full. The service was friendly and they adhere to their 2 hour seating time limit. The food was bite size savoury and sweet delights that were more than plentiful for two people. She had enough for a take away so that the hubby could consume at home. The Missus thoroughly enjoyed her high tea outing.

The Missus and I like to support the local businesses. We came across Knight Street Cafe for breakfast and I returned for lunch with Mum, sister and the Little Son.
The cafe is a cosy little diner with friendly and quick serving staff. You can't go wrong with the all day breakfast. The salmon and chicken burgers were also very tasty. This diner is good value for your dollar.

The Missus and I along with our Maritimes travelling group found the museum very informative and educational as we were first and second generation Canadians.
The museum is spread over two floors covering the immigration into Canada of peoples from throughout the world starting from the 1800's and to date. The exhibits were well displayed with artifacts, photographs and digital presentations. On the first floor, there was a resource centre that can trace your ancestor's history entering into Canada prior to 1935. We were able to find information relating to a grandfather. It was a very humbling feeling to be standing in the same building where people with difficult backgrounds in their homelands who immigrated to Canada to start a new life.
There is an admission fee along with guided tours for those who wish. Highly recommend for a learning experience.

The Missus and I walked from the Harrison Hot Springs Resort to the Spirit Trail. It was an easy hike in the woods on a well defined and maintained trail. We did the walk in the spring and there were no mosquitoes yet. With hardly any other people around and looking for the masks, it created a very spiritual and zen experience with the wind whistling thru the trees.
After a hike in Minnekhada Park, the Missus and I had a late lunch at the Singapore Hawker. We have heard and read great reviews but unfortunately, we were very disappointed.
The restaurant is run cafeteria style where you order your food, pick up your food on trays and return your trays with the dirty dishes. We had ordered the roti for an appetizer, nyonya yellow curry chicken on ginger rice, nyonya rendang lembu on ginger rice and assam tofu with mixed vegetables.
We were given 2 serving bowls of which both were still wet inside. One had a wet rice kernel inside and the other bowl had a spot of dried curry sauce on the lip. We found the roti sauce tasteless and the Missus remarked the curry chicken was not very tender. The beef rendang was over cooked as most of the beef was disintegrated. The accompanying vegetables in the assam tofu dish were only green beans and a couple pieces of tomato & okra.
The service was acceptable, pricing was reasonable but the food lacked the "wow" taste factor for us. We will search for other Singaporean eateries.
