Secret Garden Tea Company
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.

Spirit Trail
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.
Singapore Hawker
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.

True Confections Broadway
The Missus and I had visited different True Confections outlets during our courtship. So we decided to reminisce those happy days with some cake at the Broadway location. We also returned on a different occasion for a take away order.
The service was okay and and we were promptly served. We understand it's difficult to find workers these days but a smile with the service would have been nice. Of the cakes ordered, the Classic Chocolate was our favorite. It's $9.75 a slice but we found it was large enough to share between us. It's defintely the best chocolate cake we've had in a while.
The dessert date brought back nice memories and we will be back to try some of the other cakes offered.
