Today for breakfast we had Starbucks! My Mom woke up super early and went to Starbucks and got me a spinach and cheese quiche. It was so good. But that was just to tide me over for the bigger breakfast that I was going to have... Dim-Sum!
We walked to one of the best Dim- Sum places in our area: Swee Choon. On the way to Swee Choon we passed a Bengal Cat petting place, it wasn't open but we would look more into it on our way back. When we walked into the Dim-Sum place they had all these door bells next to the tables. They were for when they got really busy, the customer could ring the bell and server would come. Sadly our server was there most of the time so I did not get to ring the bell. We ordered: Har Kow, Shu mai, Pork dumplings (we ordered another one because they were so good), pork spare ribs, Peking dumplings. When we were sitting and waiting for our food I saw a guy put noodles into a pot. So I looked over a bit more and saw he was making noodles from scratch! So, we had to add spicy noodles with chive dumplings onto our order. Everything was great!
They had a spicy sauce that was great with everything. Every single one of the dishes that we ordered was amazing, but the noodles were the best (partly because I got to see the noodles being made). The noodle guy looked at me when I was eating the noodles and I gave him a big thumbs up.
When dessert came around we got coconut pudding and litchi with tofu. The coconut pudding was my favorite by far. Everything about it was perfect. It wasn't too sweet and tasted like a real coconut, it was even served in a coconut. The litchi pudding was okay, but not great.
After we were done with Dim-Sum we headed back towards the bengal cats. When we walked by before Dim-Sum they were not open, but they were supposed to open at noon. When we got there, all the curtains were closed and the closed sign was on the door. But the sign next to the door said that this was the time that they were open, so my Mom looked through the window. There was a person inside, so she knocked on the door. A guy opened the door and let us in. They guy told us that they were open, but by appointment only. Thankfully, he let us stay. It was $5 SGD per person for 20 minutes. They had 2 cats out, Night who was a very calm Bengal cat that was 4 (she was my favorite) and Claudia a very playful 2 year old bengal cat. When I was walking around taking pictures, I saw a little kitten peaking it's head out the door and I got a picture of it.
There were all these beautiful bengal cats inside an enclosed area. There was even a hamster wheel. We couldn't pet these cats because they were already sold, but we could take pictures of them. The 20 minutes we up before I knew it, but thankfully I got tons of pictures and videos of the cats being adorable.
After playing with the bengal cats we walked to Tekka market again. My Mom had brought a dress that needed to be tailored. She got the dress the last time that we were in Singapore. When we were walking to the tailor we saw a peacock skirt that my Mom liked. It didn't fit her, but they were cheap, so we bought 2 and took them to the tailor to make it into one skirt. 
We knew that it would take a little bit for the tailor to get every thing sewed together. So we went downstairs and got some drinks. I got a Mango Lassi (but I did not like it so I wound up geetting as ice cold water). My Mom got a ginger tea with a lot of milk and my Dad got a coke light and a Chendol which contains coconut milk, green worms (not really they were made out of rice flour jelly) and palm sugar syrup. It reminded him of cereal milk. While my Dad drank his coke light and Chendol we went upstairs to look at the cheap Indian shirts. We found a shop that sold cheap, pretty and good quality Indian shirts. I found a color that I liked and tried it on only to find out that it was way to small. Then we told the sales man that I was 4 sizes bigger and he gave me the same size in a different color. Finally he gave me the right size and the right color and I got a red Indian shirt. After got the shirt we went to meet my Dad to pick up the dress and skirt for the tailors. Then my Mom tried it on and it fit nicely.
Afterwards, we headed to the movie theater and saw "Ready Player One". It was an amazing movie, I highly recommend to see it if you already haven't. We headed for dinner at Albert center after we saw "Ready Player One". There were not many stalls open so we got noodle soup (I got spicy soup and my Mom got very bland soup). It was really good. Then we were all exhausted so we headed to the hotel and went to bed.
