We'll Tell You - A&W Couple's Blog

ABBEY:  My wife loves Krispy Kreme. And I want to surprise her with a dozen of original glazed-doughnut. Right after my night shift, me and my colleague queue on Krispy Kreme's opening day. I read at the paper that the first 200 customers will be entitled  to a free dozen when you buy one. I'm not expecting to win that but there was a change on the rules on that morning. First hundred would be receiving 4 dozen of doughnuts for a month and next one hundred will get the one for one deal. And guess what? I'm the hundredth customer :)  Boasting aside, I was even featured in Krispy Kreme's report on Yahoo Singapore. I'm blessed having that opportunity to share those free sweet delights to my friends and family. Dozen of original glaze is at 23.50 and 26.5 for assorted. WILL:  I am always thinking when will Krispy Kreme put up a store  here in Singapore. Always missing the taste of their original doughnuts together with my afternoon ...

ABBEY: We won an invite for the opening of Waraku Japanese restaurant in Vivo City. It was located on the rooftop park of the mall. Outside the restaurant is a photobooth where you can pose with a Samurai.  We were given a table for two and the staff told us as part of the store opening a meal including a drink will be served for free. The meal includes tempura, udon, sushi, and potato salad. The sauce brings more flavor on the tempura.  I really like the sushi; I hoped that they will serving more of those. WILL:  Fan of Japanese Cuisine? Add up Waraku Japanese Restaurant on your list. Waraku is one of the famous and oldest restaurant from its at East Coast Park. Its the opening at their VivoCity branch when we first stepped our feet in one of their restaurant. The place portrayed a very cozy feeling. Its seats, tables, even plates and chopsticks well complimented to each other. Relaxing is the great word to describe it. They offered...

1 Onion 2 Pears 2 Apples 1/4 kg pork (rib part) Salt and pepper to taste Peel and cut tye onion into half. Wash the apples and pears cut into half. Put all the ingredients in the casserole add 5 cups of water. Boil untip the meat is tender. Serve hot. Best with soy sauce with kalamansi for a dip. VERDICT ABBEY: I'm telling you this not your ordinary pork nilaga. Apple and pear were along the pork for boiling. It taste sweet and somehow weird as I'm not used to it; but started to like it. A new twist for our pork nilaga.

ABBEY:  I saw the sign of Ben & Jerry's new ice cream flavor and it read: "Couch Potato"  Yes it was weird.  I used to dip fries into a sundae but never I had imagined to package it along the ice cream. The potato chips were covered in chocolate. The taste is unique. The sweetness of dairy delight complements well the chips' saltiness.  As the name implies, you'll be a couch potato as it gives you comfort while eating it. WILL:  Its a rainy Sunday and Abbey is out for some training at M Hotel. I am all alone and for the whole day, I only did was to lay my back down, munch pizza and chips while finishing the 8th season series of "Friends". I asked Abbey to get some supplies for the following week, since it was raining, I told him to just go at Sheng Siong Clementi. As he got home, I saw a bag of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and excitedly told me about the new flavor. The "Couch Potato". Jokingly told me that really suits me h...

ABBEY:  I'm glad we fulfilled our plan to spend the night in East Coast Park. This camping is long due. It always rain when we plan it. But last October 26 the weather is perfect. Ford applied for the permit and then we had a go. Wilma was the advance party to ECP along with Ford, Nette and April. Yes, they set up the tent. I didn't lay my hands on those as I'm having office works. I came there past midnight after our firm's year-end celebration. The tent is cozy and for 6-foot tall man I can say I had a good stretch. The sound of water sways you through slumberland. It's great no bugs or any crawling creatures went inside. We had a good night sleep and woke up refreshed. We had a few snaps on the scenery and head to Jollibee for breakfast. WILL:  This is one of the "must-do" for our year 2013, and I am so lucky to have Abbey and officemates so supportive of me to attain this.  GeeFord really a loving officemate, he lend us their ten...
