Mount Faber

Mount Faber was named after Captain Charles Edward Faber in 1845. Due to it's high vantage point, it was once a defence fort for colonial Singapore.

On 17 January 1965, Mount Faber Scenic Park was officially opened by Singapore’s former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew.

Singapore Cable Car, launched in 1974, was the first attraction on the hill. The cable car remains an iconic attraction and a families' favourite at the hilltop destination till today. Before the Sentosa Gateway and Sentosa Express were constructed, Singapore Cable Car was one of the 2 ways to visit the country's island  of leisure and fun - Sentosa. 

How to get to Mount Faber

From HarbourFront MRT station, take Exit B towards HarbourFront Centre.

Holiday has just started for some of us!
Here's what we've been up to.....

Lucky Cat Cafe@Hougang

35 Hougang Ave 3, #01-02, Singapore 538840

A family-runned Vegan Cafe nestled among the housing blocks in Hougang. 

Business is so good, we had to queue for close to an hour to get a table. But it was worth it!

Above: Konjac Salmon Sashimi, Tofunagi (vegan eel) sushi roll, lucky tendon (fried vegetable tendon) and deep fried house-made dumplings.

The cafe is good for small group bonding over a meal. The staff who are also the family who runs the cafe, are warm and polite.

Our favourite - the vegetarian eel sushi and the vegetable tendon. 

We would have liked to visit this cafe more often, if not for the 1.5 hour journey from our house 😅😅😅

****************************************************************

I saw Mr Baguette on the programme "HDB Tai Tai" on mewatch.sg and since we were in Hougang, we decided to pop by Mr Baguette which is just a few bus stops away from Lucky Cat Cafe. 

Mr Baguette @Hougang

102 Hougang Ave 1, #01-1195, Singapore 530102

We spent another 30 minutes or so waiting patiently for the little baguettes to be ready. Basically, these are baguettes in the shape of a small bun, with various fillings and toppings, all the creations of the owner and his wife.

Above: the staff working tirelessly in the little kitchen with hot ovens and multiple stacks of little baguettes

We liked the tiramisu and red velvet flavours, even though I would have preferred them to be a little less sweet. The orange and peach flavours are more fruity and refreshing. On the whole, these were nice and best eaten with a sugarless cup of latte.
