Eating has always been a very enjoyable thing for me. I love to eat, and I de-stress by having a good meal in a nice place. So, I am constantly on a lookout for kids-friendly restaurants so that both my kids and I can have a good time feasting together without wanting to pull each others’ hair out.
Even though there are quite a few such restaurants in Singapore, I sometimes wish there are a lot more choices for us parents. After a while, we are always going back to the same few restaurants. If I can run my own business in future, I want to start a chain of kids-friendly themed restaurants that will make both parents and kids happy!
For now, the most common one we go to is the Sembawang Shopping Centre rooftop restaurants. There is a pretty big playground there, divided into dry and wet areas, and 3 restaurants line the playground. That makes it perfect for parents because while the kids play at the playground, the parents can dine in peace and yet have a clear view of the children at all times. All three restaurants have indoor air-conditioned dining area, as well as alfresco, so it’s good for all patrons. Those with children playing at the playground may like to take the alfresco seats, while those without children can dine indoors without having to bear with noise from the play area.
This was the table Hubby and I were sitting at, while our two girls dashed from slide to slide… We had some difficulty getting them to sit down and finish their lunch before dashing off to play again, since the playground was just right in front of their eyes. But still, it was nice to just sit and watch them laugh and play at their favourite place.
It was Aston’s we settled down at for lunch, and as always, I was happy with their food! The other two restaurants in that place are Ajisen and a HongKong cafe. Both are not bad too!
For us parents, the venue for meals makes that much a difference. =)
