Corgi & The Gang Pet Cafe at Mount Erskine

    I have heard about Corgi & The Gang Pet Cafe. It is so far the only cafe that allows pet dogs (to enter) that I have known of. I had decided to experience the atmosphere by bringing my pet toy poodle.

    At first, when I entered the cafe, there was a glass door followed by a low gate, and a few friendly dogs welcoming me. I picked a seat nearby the entrance and allow my pet toy poodle to wander around. To my surprise, when one of the dogs came to greet her, she was so terrified that she jumped on the seat. A waiter there played a huge role comforting her. After some comforting and coaxing, she was finally able to relax, but not completely, at least she was able to chase around with other dogs. There was a "dog hotel" at the far end of the cafe, and as expected from a cafe that allows pet dogs to enter, the cafe sells dog food as well. As a cafe, it had a limited choices of food, but the foods were not filling. On the left of the entrance was the dog grooming room, but no one was using it at the moment.

    It was a pleasure to see her having fun with other dogs, and seems like she made a friend–– a dog in pampers kept following her around. I had expected that this cafe would have a good business since pets are allowed, in which most restaurant forbid, however there were not many customers, perhaps at the moment.

Fettes Park Sin Nam Huat Chicken Rice

I love chicken rice and it is the steamed chicken that I loved the most—the taste of smooth chicken skin against the tongue along with the taste of sweet-and-salty [butter] rice always gives me a pleasant feeling. However, not all chicken rice shops provide that combination.

In the case of Fettes Park Sin Nam Huat Chicken Rice, even though they don't have steamed chicken, its butter rice is the best amongst the nearby rivals. Fettes Park Sin Nam Huat Chicken Rice's roasted chicken accomodates the taste of steam chicken, with its smooth and delicious meat underneath the semi-rough skin. I am a frequent customer of this chicken rice shop myself and I never feel tired of eating in this shop. Thus, my dear fellow readers, I highly recommend you to have a try at Fettes Park Sin Nam Huat Chicken Rice.

Thai Odyssey

I've heard about That Odyssey through banners and this was the first time I've been there. 

First, the massage therapist washed my feet with sand, I assume, and soap on a medium-sized basin with large black pebbles. There was a small switch beside her. Next, she invited me to enter the massage room and after I lay down, she offered me a cup of tea. Third, she handed me a one-foot ice pouch. The coldness of the ice pouch felt cooling and relaxing against my eyes. My head was uncomfortable with the pillow she asked me to rest my neck. However, after quite some time, the uneasy feeling become comfortable as she massaged my feet. The massage therapist massaged every inch of my feet.  It was the same way as how my father massage my ankle— she gives painful "shocks" (as my father would call it). According to my father, the shocks are done in order for good blood circulation. "Shocks" occur when joints are frequently being rubbed against. Fourth, when the massage therapist massaged my toes, she pulled them to give snapping sounds; just like how people "crack their knuckles". Fifth, she massaged my calves and then she moved on to my shoulders.

When massaging my shoulders, the massage therapist bent my hand over the back of my head and gently kneed my back in order to massage the back shoulders. It gave a painful but a pleasant feeling of muscle relaxation. 

The treatment was a pleasant experience. Sometimes I'm glad I injured my ankle before, and so I was used to the "shocks" made by the massage therapist. Thai Odyssey gave a good service as advertised, I recommend audiences to go Thai Odyssey for a massage as well.
