Is Sio Pasta Actually Worth the Wait? (Great Food, But Here’s Why I Won't Be Back!)

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 handling and the hygienic placement of utensils could still be improved.

Overall, Sio Pasta serves delicious pasta that’s worth the wait, especially if you’re a fan of freshly made, al dente pasta with generous flavors.

Is Sio Pasta Actually Worth the Wait? (Great Food, But Here’s Why I Won't Be Back!)

WILL: Another day, another crazy long queue! 😅

If you’ve been scrolling through your feeds lately, you’ve definitely seen Sio Pasta popping up. The glowing reviews are absolutely overflowing, and it seems like half of Singapore is permanently standing in line outside their doors—both at lunch and dinner!

Naturally, I had to go see what the fuss was about. But is it actually worth the wait, or is it just clever marketing? Here is my brutally honest review.

Let’s start with the good stuff because, honestly, the kitchen knows how to prep a plate. I ordered the Mentaiko Pasta, and let me tell you: the online hype is 100% real.
   —-The Texture: The pasta had the perfect, bouncy "QQ" texture—cooked to absolute al dente perfection.
   —-The Sauce: They do not skimp here! The rich, savory mentaiko sauce was generous enough to completely coat every single strand of pasta on the plate.

Watching the behind-the-scenes action of how our orders were actually handled and cooked totally ruined the magic for me. While the food tasted incredible, what happens behind the counter stayed with me long after the meal was over. Arghhh!

We Found SG’s Most Affordable Ice Plunge & Finnish Sauna for Post-Workout Recovery!

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 class was.

At the heart of the facility is a wave pool, which adds a unique touch to the overall experience. It was fun to watch surfers of all skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced riders, practicing and improving their techniques on the artificial waves.

If you’re looking for a place in Singapore to relax, recover, and experience contrast therapy with the added bonus of an indoor surfing facility, Reva is definitely worth checking out.

Found SG’s Most Affordable Ice Plunge & Finnish Sauna for Post-Workout Recovery!

WILL: When we traveled to Ireland, we made it a whole mission to try their famous contrast therapy routine—we're talking a steaming hot sauna followed by a freezing cold plunge. And oh my goodness, we fell in love! We kept wishing and praying that someday Singapore would get a facility just like it.

Then… Reva entered the chat. 

We just decided to walk in—no booking needed, stress-free! If I remember correctly, we ended up staying for a solid 2 hours just to complete 5 full rounds of hot and cold. Talk about dedication! 😂

You will literally feel your body waking up as it reacts to the extreme temperatures. I swear, all my veins felt completely alive and energized! It’s a crazy sensation that I’ve honestly never felt before, not even from running or any high-intensity workout I’ve ever tried. If you are a fitness enthusiast looking for the ultimate healing and recovery, this is IT. 

The verdict? Reva is hands-down the most affordable spot we’ve found in SG. But a quick heads-up to manage your expectations: this isn't your fancy, ultra-quiet, luxury spa-like environment, okie? It's raw, it's fun, and it gets the job done.

Enjoy your session, wellness besties!

Cafe Hopping in Singapore: Why MOZmoji Cafe Needs to Be on Your Bucket List!

ABBEY: Another café has joined the city’s growing coffee scene, and this one offers more than just good coffee. MOZmoji Cafe welcomes guests with an art gallery-inspired space, featuring beautifully crafted ceramic pieces and wooden furniture that double as part of the café’s exhibit. While waiting for a table, visitors can take their time browsing the curated collection, making the experience feel both relaxing and inspiring.

For our drinks, we ordered the Pistachio Vienna and Salted Cocoa Latte. What immediately caught our attention was how the barista invited us to choose the cup for our beverages. It may seem like a small detail, but it added a thoughtful and personalized touch to the overall café experience.

The Salted Cocoa Latte delivered a rich cocoa flavor enhanced by a subtle hint of salt. The balance was well-executed, allowing the espresso notes to remain present without being overpowered. Meanwhile, the Pistachio Vienna showcased a bold and nutty profile, with the pistachio flavor taking center stage in every sip.

MOZmoji Cafe offers a refreshing way to enjoy coffee. Surrounded by carefully curated ceramics and warm wooden accents, the space encourages guests to slow down, appreciate the details, and savor the moment. It is the kind of café that blends coffee, art, and design into a single experience, creating an elegant atmosphere perfect for a leisurely afternoon in the city.
