Cute Easter Bunny Crafts for Kids

Here's what we made for OB's Easter arts & crafts  homework. A paper cup Easter bunny family!


I surely designed the mom (me) to be the cutest! Ahem.
Rosy cheeks & on-trend skirt ftw ^_^
I am super guilty of not letting OB touch this one apart from coloring the ears and sticking the ears and "hands" on the paper cup.


This cutie pie is the kid (OB). OB colored this one (we used water color) and stuck the ears and hands.
Please excuse the mistake on the nose.


The bunny dad's pretty special. He has a permanent angry expression on his face and he's holding a teeny tiny wire hanger. It doesn't mean that SC is super domestic and always does the laundry, but it is something SC uses to threaten to spank OB with when he's naughty (SC doesn't really spank him laa - he only spanks the furniture), and OB requested me to make the tiny wire hanger as the bunny dad's "accessory".

Ahem. This story will not make a great impression of us at school (or anywhere). But it is the truth.
T_T

So, here's our little happy easter bunny family!


Since the school requires us to make something we can hang, I made a tiny cross on top of the bunny's heads with cutter and string them together using a leftover shoelace. Make a knot under each hole to make them stay put.

What you'll need:

• Paper cups
• Fairly thick paper (we used an unused box)
• Colorings (water color/marker/pencil/crayon)
• Glue
• Some sort of string/ribbon
• Any "accessories" from unused items

Parents tips:

Try to involve the kids as much as possible, I am 100% guilty of not keeping OB involved in drawing the faces. He is actually capable of drawing faces, they will only be a tad zombie-like. 

Anyway,
Happy crafting!

Every Dish A Pleasant Surprise - Serge et Le Phoque, Wan Chai

This was my birthday dinner in December last year.
Oh yeah, I take the whole #latergram concept to a whole new heights.
I am not really sure what were the ingredients of the dishes that I ate that night, but I only remember that this meal was too good and too memorable to not post on the blog.

The place is hilarious. A cool interior overlooking a busy market in Wanchai.
I dig.

Here are the yummy things we ate. We went for the big menu and enjoyed every second of it.
Many dishes offered combination of flavors I've never tried before and did not even imagine that they would work together - but they did, and they are very pretty to look at.

If you haven't tried, please do so.

These are... ok, I won't pretend that I remember the name of the dishes or the ingredients.

Clams, delicious.


Grilled squid, delicious.


Not sure what was this but I remember it being very very delicious.


Obviously there's sea urchin there. Absolutely yummy.


Again, delicious.


Also delicious.


Interesting and delicious.


This one wowed me the least, but still, not bad at all.


Very pretty and delicious.


Delicious.


Mangosteen and chocolates. Delicious.


I'm not a macaron person... but they were my "birthday cakes"


Something lemony with intense heat from chilli.
Interesting and delicious.


Chocolatey and salty. Verrrry delicious.

I can't wait to go back.

How much was it?
HK$8xx per person (regular water and no drinks)

Where To Go This Weekend - Mui Wo, Hong Kong

My first trip to Mui Wo.
I've been living in Hong Kong for more than 10 years and this is my first time to Mui Wo.
Oh well, better late than never.

We chose to go to Mui Wo by taking the ferry from Central Pier 6.
SC suggested that since we can't afford Business or First Class flights, we try Deluxe Class Ferry.
HAHA.

Bad decision.
It's stuffy and made me feel seasick.
Ordinary is much better.

Luckily, OB enjoyed his ferry ride very much.


We walked around Mui Wo without reading much about it.
That seems to be our modus operandi when we are exploring a new place.
Ahem. LAZY.

It's funny how when we see something like this in another country, I'd take 2348346 pictures of it, and when I saw it in Hong Kong I just took 3 pictures. Heheheh.

It's not really the right weather for the beach, but we let OB play with his Optimus Prime there for a bit.

We saw Big6 parents who stripped their kid completely naked to play in the water. Shudder... I don't wanna think about it.

We checked out the cultural centre, full of cool vintage stuff which prompted SC to take selfies...


Cute things, cute things...


Everywhere cute things.


A lovely sighting of preserved meat...

I resisted the temptation to take a selfie with it.

What are these gorgeous buildings? They can't be people's residence???


We decided to take on the challenge and walk to the waterfall with cranky, tired and hungry OB.


The wonderful things about Hong Kong spring...

... 17C weather and pretty flowers everywhere.



Finally, we reached the waterfall!
Telling my dudes to not climb up there is as useful as trying to stop me eating bacon...


Mommy lets out a big sigh when they got off the waterfall safely.


We took a different route back to the ferry terminal.


Gorgeous blooms everywhere.




Turn a corner, another beautiful sight...


We were so hungry when we reached the ferry terminal.
We had early dinner at the most crowded place, Bahce Turkish Restaurant.

Lovely Turkish tea - HK$30, unlimited refill.


Platter of hot meze. Delicious.


I love their soup.


Beef kofta. Not bad at all.

We decided to take a different route back home. We took bus to Tung Chung MTR station instead of taking ferry to Central.
Both routes result in similar travel time for us.
We went home absolutely exhausted but really happy about the trip.

On to our next adventure next week~
(trying to avoid Toys 'R Us every weekend)

Steak Dinner Date Night - L'Entrecôte De Paris Restaurant, Central, Hong Kong

Thanks to L'Entrecôte De Paris Restaurant for inviting us.


The place is lovely and people can make reservations. Good for those who don't like lining up ;)

Here's what we had...







Love love LOVE this clam dish. The sauce is so tasty, we used the clam shell to scoop and drank it.


I've never been a salad person, but ok - veggie quota of the day gets ticked off our list.


The beef is lean and very tender.


The sauce is tasty.


Yummy fries swimming in sauce - my favorite.

Their desserts... I like!

I am always partial and always have to order the chocolatiest thing on the menu. This chocolate cake is so good! Moist, chocolatey. I love.


The Paris Brest is really good too.


To summarize, these are the things I like:
- You can book a table
- There are appetizers other than the salad
- There is salmon and vegetarian option for those who don't eat steak (I didn't try the salmon though)
- Their fries and sauce
- The desserts

Here are the prices:

Many asked how does this one compare to La Vache or Le Relais de l'Entrecote.
I do like La Vache's steak, but I don't really enjoy lining up... and I enjoy some decent desserts to end my meal with. So, I'm torn.
I have yet to try Le Relais de l'Entrecote - maybe one day when I feel like lining up. Heheheh.

Have you tried them all? Which one is your favorite?
