Afterall, our blog was named as Katong Kids Inc because we felt a close affinity to Katong district. The charm of this place, coupled with the historic values of Peranakan are something that all of us should know.

A Rock ‘n’ Troll Musical for Kids: The Three Billy Goats Gruff 三只山羊 Review
I previously blogged on The Little Company’s Mandarin version of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. This is our first time watching a kids musical production and I must say, we enjoyed every single moment!
SYNOPSIS
The Three Billy Goats Gruff (affectionately known as “Big”, “Middle”, and “Baby”) are a close-knit bunch who graze happily together with their caretaker, Little Bo-Frilly. But one day, it dawns on them that they are in the middle of a horrible drought. As the grounds turn a dreadful shade of brown, they’re slowly but surely running out food.
Unfortunately, as the gang decides to cross the bridge to the other side of the valley for survival, they will have to take on a frightening troll that – gulp – loves to feast on goats!
继2015年英语原创制作广受好评之后，新加坡专业剧场属下的小剧团再接再厉，推出充满欢乐、让人难忘的华语版音乐剧《三只山羊》！
故事中的三只山羊—羊老大、羊小二和小咩咩—感情要好、关系亲密，经常和照顾它们的牧羊人在草原上玩耍，大伙儿快乐地生活在一起。可是，干旱以后，大地变得一片枯黄，快没有食物可以吃了。
不巧的是，当它们正要过桥到山谷的另一端寻找食物时，却遇见爱吃羊肉的怪兽。而这只可怕的怪兽最喜欢吃的，就是肥嫩嫩的羊肉！
欢迎你一起走进《三只山羊》的精彩童话世界，一同来欣赏这部让你开怀大笑、禁不住咩咩叫的音乐剧吧！
OUR REVIEW
We arrived at the Singapore Repertory Theatre full of anticipation of what to expect out of this musical.
We were clearly impressed by the stage props and of course…
Professionalism of the actors and actresses. They engaged the entire audience totally and we were impressed by their pronounciation, enthusiasm, body language and expression when they were performing. It was an eye-opener for us.
We were glad to watch the Three Billy Goats Gruff musical as it delivered strong educational values for audience to bring back:
- Children get to grips with the concept that the grass is not always greener on the other side and to appreciate what they have.
- Provides exposure for children studying or wanting to acquire Mandarin.
- The importance of being resourceful and thinking on one’s feet is demonstrated in a fun and engaging way.
Big and Small M learn the importance of cultivating a love for Mandarin and how to express themselves better in the use of this language.
All thanks to the Singapore Repertory Theatre, our tickets include a photo session with the cast.
It comes with a photo frame as well 🙂
YOUR KIDS SHOULD WATCH IT!
This is an honest opinion from us, at least. After the show, Big and Small M were asking if we can bring them back to SRT again for the next musical production. Rather than watching from a TV screen, why not bring your kids to watch The Three Billy Goats Gruff and be entertained and educated by a real cast? It is definitely value for money.

Tea Ideas: The Original Tea Wand Company (5 Mixed Wands Packs to Giveaways!)
Barely a year since we started blogging, we are happy that our blog has gained some traction. There are readers who wrote to us to express their appreciation and stamp of approval on sharing local start-ups and creating a space in the social media for them to be known. This is what Katong Kids Inc is all about. We are happy to collaborate with home-grown firms and share about their products to the public.
One of my resolutions for 2016 is to eat healthily and live healthily. It has to be pure coincidence. I was actually invited by this home-grown firm called Tea Ideas to attend their roadshow at Bugis Junction and get to know more about their tea products. Coming with not much expectation, little did I know I was in for an amazing discovery.
