A Pool Party - Spend Time With Them Now
By now, you would have realised that The Wong Dogs
prefer the Sunny Heights pool over the rest. I love visiting my favourite
pet-friendly cafes and dog parks. But there are times when Cory and Cole need
to release that energy and burn a few calories. So, to the pool we go!
But more than the trip down, is the personal time I get to
spend with them. From the way they finished their laps to relaxing in the
water, looking up at me with so much love and happiness in their eyes.
So, whether it is at the dog swimming pool, a hike or even
an outing to the dog park… The question remains, how much time have you spent
with your furkid this week? The weekend is here. The decision is yours.

After-Swim Brunch – Ah B Cafe
After months of
anticipation (eight months to be precise), Ah B Café is finally open for
business at Sunny Heights! The Wong Dogs dropped by late December after their
swim at Sunny Heights’s Swimming Pool and took in everything this new kid on
the block has to offer with Sam Forrest Loo Lim and Pecan! Now, the question is… Will Ah B Café join the ranks of
Paw Petradise and Happenstance Café and have Cory and Cole coming back for
more?
THE WONG DOGS REVIEW
You might be
wondering, “Is it just me or are The Wong Dogs a little slow in covering new
pet-friendly cafes?” Well, truth be told, I am a little picky. More often than
not, these first visits have me leaving disappointed and another possible blog
entry down the drain.
But with Ah B Café, I
get a sense of comfort when I entered their premises. Maybe it is from the
adrenaline rush of Cory and Cole finishing up their hour-long swim. Smelling
fresh from their long renovation works, the cheery demeanour was also seen in
the staff here.
An ode to their
location which is near forested areas, Ah B Café tells me that the décor is
inspired by the greenery surrounding them. I love the expansive space and
with an elevated area, I foresee many pet owners relaxing by the
comfortable cushions for hours on end.
“We
want our customers and furkids to feel at home. This is why we built the stage
and added beanbags to make our café cosier,” they say. But wait, that is not
the end. In fact, there are some plans in the pipeline to improve on their
aesthetic in the near future.
Food-wise, the
selection is nothing to brag about and could do with more choices for picky
diners.
However, Ah B Café makes up for it by offering above average-tasting
nosh. Yes, it is still your typical Western-fare but the Teriyaki Chicken and
house special, Ah B Burger (it never hurts to have a signature, right?) should
have customers reordering when they return. Also, who can resist breaded drumlets and chicken wings?
“Based on our own recipes, the
patties in our Ah B Burger are made fresh every day. Even our sauces are made
by us,” they revealed. To beef up their menu selections, Ah B Café tells me
that there are plans to expand their dessert selection and include a couple
more dishes to the list, “We are hoping to include some Japanese cuisine!”
Sincere, comfy and
surrounded by a number of pet amenities such as grooming, Pawlicious (petbakery) and the Sunny Heights Swimming Pool, I foresee Ah B Café will be having
a steady stream of customers!
Note: Parking is free
but limited. No worries, there are more free lots to be found next to Premier
Pitch Indoor.

House Guest – Charcoal, the Miniature Schnauzer
Just last month, Cory and Cole had a tiny house guest
scampering about for about three days. Introducing Charcoal! A black Miniature
Schnauzer who is one cheeky little fella!
The first time dog-sitting for an extended period of time, I
realised something very important which some pet owners might not understand –
the addition of a third dog. To me, it reaffirmed my stance that I am definitely stopping at
two. Unless you are someone who can spend the better part of the day attending
to their every need, the human in you will start feeling like somebody (yes, the
dogs) will start to feel neglected soon.
Some people say you can have too many dogs. But in my opinion, there is no special number and lies solely in the eyes of the beholder.
In any case, it was actually quite cute seeing The Wong Dogs
get jealous of Charcoal! Especially when this newcomer demanded your undivided attention with
his high-pitched barks. We hope to see you soon, Charcoal!
