ABBEY:  Watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at Sands Theatre left me with one irresistible craving: chocolate. So naturally, our next stop was Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie at Dempsey Road. After all, the name “Mr. Bucket” instantly brings Charlie Bucket to mind. Who knows? Maybe this is the real chocolate factory after Charlie eventually took over from Willy Wonka. To make the experience even sweeter, we booked the Chocolate Tour and Tasting , which costs SGD 20 per person . It was a fun and informative journey into the world of artisan chocolate, from learning about cacao to tasting some of their signature creations. One thing that made me especially proud was discovering that Mr. Bucket partners with cocoa farmers from the Philippines . Seeing Philippine-grown cacao featured in premium handcrafted chocolates made the visit even more meaningful. Of course, I couldn’t take my eyes off their beautiful display of colourful chocolate bon bons. Each piece looked like a tiny w...

ABBEY:  Who loves chocolate? Me! I’ve seen Charlie and The Chocolate Factory movie versions and I’m excited to watch it on a theatre. We managed to secure promotional tickets for SGD88 each , and I couldn’t wait to experience the magic for myself. The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory musical exceeded my expectations. While staying true to the beloved story, the production added its own creative touch that made the experience feel fresh and exciting. Every scene was carefully crafted, transporting the audience into Willy Wonka ’s magical chocolate factory. Watching the journey of each Golden Ticket winner unfold on stage was a delight. The vibrant sets, stunning visual effects, catchy musical numbers, and energetic Oompa Loompa choreography brought the classic story to life. Every performance was filled with charm, humor, and imagination, making it enjoyable for audiences of all ages. Most of all, the show reminded me of the joy and wonder of childhood. For a couple of ho...

ABBEY:  Our first attempt to dine at Sio Pasta didn’t go as planned because the queue was simply too long. Fortunately, on our second visit, the line was much shorter, and we were able to get seats at the bar within a few minutes. We ordered The Best Mentaiko Pasta and Neapolitan Beyond Neapolitan with Pork Sausage . Both dishes were cooked perfectly al dente, with each pasta offering its own unique and well-balanced flavor. Between the two, I personally preferred the Neapolitan. The rich tomato-based sauce paired wonderfully with the juicy pork sausage pieces, making every bite satisfying. The Mentaiko Pasta was flavorful as well, although I found it a little too salty for my taste. The presentation of both dishes was impressive and definitely added to the overall dining experience. Since we were seated at the bar, we also had a front-row view of the kitchen while our food was being prepared. It was interesting to watch the chefs at work, but I did notice that the food handli...

ABBEY:  Our last few weeks in Singapore have been quite a roller coaster ride, so finding Reva couldn’t have come at a better time. We simply walked in, and it turned out to be exactly the relaxing experience we needed. The combination of the hot pool, cold plunge pool, and sauna helped our bodies recharge after weeks of stress. We were also lucky with the weather. It was raining that day, making the experience even more enjoyable. Feeling the cool air before stepping into the warm sauna was incredibly relaxing. After spending time in the sauna, soaking in the hot pool felt soothing, while plunging into the cold pool afterward instantly woke up our muscles and senses. The tingling and slightly numb feeling from the cold plunge definitely took some getting used to, but it was refreshing. Haha! During our visit we were able to watch a cardio session held inside the sauna. The participants were completely drenched in sweat by the end of the workout, proving just how intense the cla...
