A Sunday at Suntec

When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
Its a new day Its a new way
And I fly up to the Sun(Tec City)

Suntec City is huge. Five towers make for Suntec. Retail plus Convention Halls. It is the closest to Tanjong Rhu for H&M Kids wear, because they (H&M) have no kids' wear at Kallang Wave Mall. Options abound for Indoor Kids Playground. Polliwog, Cool de Sac are our favourites. You have a couple more I understand, but these two are where we frequently visit, and we came here to decide which of these would be our chosen venue for Tweety's birthday party. It is still a couple of months away, but since we could not get a booking last year, we wasted no time this year. Both of these have attractive offers for all-inclusive birthday packages but we finally chose one two days ago!

I previously published a few lines on the Swiss restaurant with a farmhouse feel to it, the March'e.
I finally got to give it a visit with A and Tweety. The first time I went there was with a dear friend, where we ordered rolled oats, potato salad and some juices. This time it was the popular Rosti with a variety of creamy sauces to go along. A simple dish, fit for us vegetarians minus any beef or seafood. Shredded potato cooked in butter and turned the sunny side up. Will be trying this at home for sure, with my own creative tweaks...

 I get the feeling of being in a market on a Swiss mountain, although only Baden and Zurich are as far as I have been in Surreal Switzerland. Maybe its the carefully controlled lighting and the air-conditioning too?



You can fill your bowl with all the salad you can!

 Heaps of buns of all grains imaginable, greet you. The usher hands over a card which is swiped when you choose food at any counter and you finally pay at the exit. Mounds of fresh vegetables, along-with bowls full of roasted potato, soups and and salad items beckon to you on the right side, while pasta and pizzas are sizzling on the left side.



I should try meats one day soon

You move along to the ample seating areas where drinks and desserts are displayed. The central place is for freshly cooked Rosti , rolled oats and  roasted meats.
When it comes to desserts, need I say more? There's your diet plan going down the drain, while you gorge on carrot cakes, chocolate cakes and fruit pies. They even tempted me with fondue but restraint prevailed and I settled for one piece of pie on each visit...




I saw potatoes getting grated and pan-cooked - Rosti

Our picky eater chose garlic bread and nothing else. I ate the bruschetta that you see along :)


Garlic bread and bruschetta - among the lower priced items



Sinful desserts, so European

Typical Swiss products you see in the Zurich Airport



Oops these poor fish drowned in ice?

They have even managed to tuck in a tiny kids' play area, with a cow that kids can milk!

 

Burrp...we are ready for some more shopping now :) Promotions are always on at H&M, and I know not when all the garments I bought will be used. But the surprise du le jour was the IT Exhibition at the Convention Halls where we won some free gifts and bought a Sound Box we did not need...We went home late in the evening but not after a cup of hot filter coffee and some piping hot Idli-Vada at Saraavana Bhavan at the basement, since we saw much and ate just a bit at the Swiss wonder :)

Thus went a Sunday at Suntec.
