Jurong Bird Park 50th Anniversary visit

At the beginning of the year, I read in the news that this year, Jurong Bird Park would be celebrating it's 50th year anniversary and the entrance fee would be set at $2.50, the entrance fee they charged 50 years ago. I managed to register and paid for tickets for myself and my 4 kids. 
On the date and time, despite the seasonal rain fall, we managed to make it on time to the bird park. 
Although they have to drag around their umbrellas for the entire duration of our visit, the kids have no complaints at all. 
I split them up into teams so the the elder kids who help me take care of the younger ones. 
Team 2☝🏼
Both teams 'workering' together the whole afternoon. 
Urban kids who make it seems like it's their first encounter with a rooster. 😅
Most of the time, I just hang around behind them and let the kids lead the way. 
.. And they led me to where I can get them snacks and refreshment😂
It was an enjoyable trip for the family despite the rain and our(or rather mine) only complaint was that within every segment of the park, we have to pay an additional $2.50 each when we go to each location. Anyway, happy 50th anniversary Jurong Bird Park! 👍🏼

Project Dignity just opened up an outlet near my home!

I was on my way home earlier this evening and passed by this building at a corner of Boon Keng Road. It is bright red in color with a very large '69' on it.. Very hard to miss it👌🏼
Previously, it was some kind of recycling business, but after some months of renovation inclusive of the Covid shut down period, a new business emerged. 
As I have never came in since it was previously closed for renovation, I decided to go in to explore this new set-up. 
On the staffs' T-shirts, it seems to indicate a HK-SG kind of set-up.. Wow.. Is there Hongkie food here? 😂

The interior was well lit up and enough space between the tables with a generous view of Boon Keng Road during the evening peak traffic👍🏼
They have a central ordering system where you make your order and pay. 
The queue number I got was actually on my receipt. 
My chicken rice set came with a soup which taste so so.. The chicken was super tender.. Too tender for my liking😅
Tea was quite ok👌🏼
Added on a claypot rice, which was reasonably nice, except that it didn't present the charred rice flavour that usually comes with such orders. Well, cannot blame them because I think they don't have open fire in the outlet. 

I only got to try out 2 or 3 stalls today and I am reasonably satisfied. I will definitely come back again for more👍🏼😁
