Weekend in Batam: Documenting Our 3-Days Family Adventure

My Inspiration Behind This Trip I’ve always held onto a personal goal: to bring my parents on at least one proper trip out of Singapore every year. Something that would give them that genuine holiday excitement; that specific thrill of packing a proper suitcase and getting their passports stamped at the border. My dad actually has a long bucket list of places he’d love to see. But realistically, time and age are catching up, and we have to be very mindful of my mum’s physical pace, mental and stamina as well. Long-haul flights just aren't as feasible anymore, so I have to be intentional about finding destinations that are comfortable yet exciting for them. The spark for this specific trip happened when I passed my dad a pile of Batam travel brochures. As we were flipping through, one specific image caught all of our attention: the Pink Beach .  When I headed down to the travel agency to get more details, my mind was set. Not only did the itinerary offer a perfect, manageable pace f...

Food Review | Teddy & Me (Mr Bean Cafe) - [CLOSED]

How many of us here watch Mr Bean's show since young and never get sick of it? I never because it has never failed to bring laughter in the house these 33 years and his show is sort of a bonding with my family too because we watch and laugh together.

TGIF everyone! With my girlfriend at Teddy & Me cafe for a chill out session from her hectic work schedule. 

ENVIRONMENT/AMBIENCE 




British theme, along with Mr Bean's brown teddy as part of their cafe decorations. Their menu is chained with a mini Teddy. So cute. And so is their cushions on the red sofa seat. It makes me miss watching Mr Bean's show and luckily they have LCD in the cafe playing his show. Also at their seats, they installed a iPad on the side where you can watch the show conveniently and also look at their menu.

FOOD

Yam & Red Bean Mille Crepe

3-in-1 Mille Crepe


Their Mille Crepes above are mediocre and if compared with those at Lady M, I would prefer the latter. On the good note, they are not too sweet, although my friend finds my 3-in-1 mille crepe sweeter than hers. Yes... indeed the above two are comparable. However, the crepes has this harden texture which I don't really like. Correct me if this should be the way, or not.

Mango Sorbet
This pricey sorbet (1 scoop) was decent and have expected no WOW factor. Sweet and icy as it supposed to be.

Waffles with Ocean Coconut Ice Cream
The ice cream was superb coconut-ish and I don't really like anything that is coconut (except laksa which you need coconut milk for the soup/gravy). The waffles are quite norm (like those I had at Prima Deli).

Ice Blended Mocha Berry
I don't know why I never resist whipped cream on my Ice Blended like I always do at Starbucks. This Mocha Berry taste more like Black Forest from Coffee Bean except that it is sweeter than the latter and also no cherry in it.

Overall, I probably think it can be a picture perfect after dinner place for some mediocre desserts. Definitely Instagram worthy pics. They also served pies, wraps, bolognese, lasagne and so on. You may wanna try but don't bring up your expectation for nice food.

They are at: #02-207A, Marina Square (in front of Customer Service Counter)
Nearest MRT: City Hall / Promenade
