More out of the way than the perpetually crowded similar outlet at Compass Point. Unfortunately, the restaurant has been replaced by a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbq-chicken.com.sg\/\">Korean BBQ franchise place<\/a> when we drove there. Just as well; we had a dinner there with too much food (they had this one complimentary selected main course for each we ordered). Ate ourselves silly, but we loved the peaceful ambiance and d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2601-rivervall-mall-dinner-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2601-rivervall-mall-dinner-flickr.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2601-rivervall-mall-dinner-flickr\" width=\"300\" height=\"448\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Where she goes, the three figurines follow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2611-rivervall-mall-dinner-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2611-rivervall-mall-dinner-flickr.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2611-rivervall-mall-dinner-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"368\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Waiting for her plate of chicken meatball pasta to arrive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2628-rivervall-mall-dinner-driver-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2628-rivervall-mall-dinner-driver-flickr.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2628-rivervall-mall-dinner-driver-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"368\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The highlight of the evening was a ride into her favorite toy car at the second level.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We needed to replace three of the half-working ceiling lights at home too. So, made a trip down to Ikea to spot some replacements on the National Day itself and breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>Thing is; just about every Singaporean had the same idea. The Ikea cafeteria was spectacularly crowded, and Ling spent a good 15 minutes queuing up for three plates of French Toast and sausages for the three of us. Didn\u2019t manage to find suitable light replacement fixtures though. So that means a likely trip to the Balestier Road stretch of lighting shops very soon.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2683-ikea-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2683-ikea-flickr.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2683-ikea-flickr\" width=\"300\" height=\"448\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">She was able to navigate a full cup of water without too much spillage. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2688-ikea-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2688-ikea-flickr.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2688-ikea-flickr\" width=\"300\" height=\"448\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Initially hesitant about trying out the kiddie slide at the furniture level; she ended up going on it three times!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2706-ikea-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2706-ikea-flickr.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2706-ikea-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"368\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">There was another stuffed dog on sale in the mall, but Ling wanted a stuffed cat for her. =)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2713-ikea-flickr\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2713-ikea-flickr.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"blog-2011-hannah-OLYP2713-ikea-flickr\" width=\"550\" height=\"368\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">&quot;Mommy, are we done yet...?&quot;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The third post from our long National Day weekend. =) We were debating over where to have dinner on Monday evening, and remembered that there was a Sakae Sushi restaurant at Rivervale Mall.
