Rainbow Cake and set lunch on a Friday

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Food Trip Friday

The slice of Rainbow Cake

A few week back we took Tiger girl out for tea without her brothers on a bonding shopping session. She was attracted by the lovely colors on the slice of cake and insisted that we ordered this slice for her.

I think she regretted it big time when she finally got to taste the cake. It didn’t taste as good as it looked. In fact she ended up eating the chocolate cake that I ordered for myself instead of the slice of rainbow cake.

I ordered this set meal at Table Manners during one of the rare occasion when R and I were able to meet up for luncheon on a weekday. The portion was rather small but it was yummy. Eating the dish gave me inspiration on what to serve the kids during the weekday nights.

What have you been eating this week?

Tiger girl and Daddy

Tiger girl is one lucky girl. The princess and baby of the family she is doted on by both grandparents and constantly showered with gifts. She has tons of pre-loved and new clothes, toys, accessories and bags given by friends and relatives. She has much more material possessions than I had at her age and is still adding to her collection. She is really showered with love from everyone of the family.

At a tender age of three she is a well seasoned traveler. She has been to Bali Indonesia, Phuket, Thailand, Taipei, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Korea (Twice!!) and various different states in Malaysia. She has traveled around in cars, buses, trains, planes and on ferries. She certainly has more chops on her passport then her brothers or even I had at her age.

Even though many say at this age they may not remember the various places that you may bring them too however seeing the joy on her face and knowing that she is enjoying herself while making new experiences is priceless. She contributes to the family in her own helpful ways and certainly has brighten up our lives. You can say that she deserves to be “spoiled”.
