Centella Classic Facial by Spa Symphony (313@Somerset)

ABBEY: Facial spa session to me is a painful way being good looking :) Whenever we booked an appointment, I'm hoping it will be cancelled. Haha. It is just that my pain tolerance is low. That's why I wondered where did the pain go when we had one at Spa Symphony (313 Somerset). 

After laying down, cleansing cream and scrub were put on my face. Next is the steam. Then the pricking began. The staff told me that it will be painful, but to my amazement, it's not the same "ouch" level compared in the Philippines. This is good news for me. After pricking, face massage started. The cream put on me smells good and citrus. 

Then the "heavy", cold mask was applied. I slept until the mask hardened. The song on my mind after the mask was removed is "I can't feel my face when I'm with you". Haha. My face felt very light. It is as if I became teenager again. 

Thanks Spa Symphony.

WILL: It was supposed to be facial before our Maldives vacation but Abbey is afraid that the sun may irritate his skin. Then, we opted to avail our package after sun-kissing. Spa Symphony is pretty helpful in looking for perfect schedule that will suit us. Thanks again for the assistance.

On that Friday night, I am surprised on how they do their facial. 

The room is 'snowy-cold' but they gave us bed with warmer. Whoah! Instance relaxation! The session begun when they put a cold cream on my face, wipe it off, exfoliation, then cream again, then wiping it off again. She put a cold cotton on my eyes and aim the steamer on to my face. 

After few minutes, she started to 'deep' clean my face. As usual, she didn't get too many impurities. Fanny was so amazed to know that I do not use anything on my face for past 2 years. Yep! Even cleanser or facial wash. 

After that 'cleaning', she started to massage my face. Yes! Massage! I will not forget that event. For almost half an hour, she is kneading my forehead, cheeks, chin, nose and even the eyes. Relaxation at its finest. Her fingers seems dancing on my face! Haha! 

She wiped off the cream then put a mask and again a small cold cloth just to protect my eyelashes. Fanny put on cream and shockingly put some on the eye area too, 3points-ahhh moment. After few minutes, you can feel that the cream is already hard and I felt sad because I know it will be the end of our session. 

I always wait to visit Manila just to get the cleansing facial I want to achieve and yet after my 6th year here in Singapore, I finally saw what I am looking for. Ahmm, actually it exceeds my criteria. 

Thanks to all the staff of Spa Symphony for this memorable facial/massage you have rendered to me and husband. 

This Centella Facial costs only $60 each.

Encik Tan @ Waterway Point Punggol

ABBEY: One time after buying grocery items from Fairprice (Waterway Point), we passed buy Encik Tan and saw long queue. This is the same scenario even by the day we tried to order. 

We brought home chicken leg/cutlet curry rice. Those are their special items. The gravy is spicy, creamy, and delicious. It really went well with the rice and fried chicken. However it seems that the serving for dine in is more than the take-away. Meaning, we have to come back there :) 

They also serve noodles, hot and cold drinks.

WILL: Why there is always a long queue? I glanced at the menu and surprisingly the value is reasonable. Then I told Abbey to try the food in there. 

One night, when we are running out of time for us to cook, I pulled Abbey to this restaurant and instructed him to queue while I am giving an eye on our grocery carts. Few minutes later, he is on the cashier ordering and paying our meal, it is for tapao. 

We were shocked to see that the rice is so less than to meals that was eaten at the restaurant. But when we tasted the curry sauce! OMG! Now I know why there is a lot people in line just to eat this food. The curry is spicy, thick. :) Chicken is still crunchy! My tastebuds is dancing because of the flavours. :) 

Recommendable!!!

Wildfire Burgers + Bar Singapore - 313@Somerset

ABBEY: We visited Wildfire Burger at 313 Somerset near Marché. 

The house is almost full. I got The Works burger; beef patty, bacon weave, onion rings, and fried egg. It also came with fries. The fries has smoky flavour which give the unique taste. What I enjoyed the most is the beef patty. It was so moist that the juices is coming out whenever I cut it into chewy bites. 

We only pay 34SGD as we have 20SGD voucher from the mall.

WILL: We got a $20 voucher, free, when we avail the package of Symphony Spa. And just before it expires, we went to 313@Somerset to redeem it. We chose to dine at Wildfire Burger.

We didn't call for reservations and we are quite shocked that the tables were reserved. Just in luck, we got seat to take. Ahmm, should I say high seat...high chair and high table, haha! 

Abbey chose burger for me, and he picked truffled mushroom ($23). Burgers arrived and we were so happy to see the juices flowing out of the meat while we are slicing it. 

The taste is awesome! This is not your ordinary hamburger place. Aside for awesome food they got impressive people too. They will asked you how do you do for the day, is everything ok with your meal, do you enjoy your food. Yes! They care!

Thanks for a total experience people at Wildfire! Totally recommended for a date night.
