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

ABBEY: Once in while you have to give yourself a treat. For me and Wilma, we used to give ourselves a massage. We looked into online deals and we found an hour of body massage for 45sgd at Spring Oasis. It was on the 13th floor of The Forum at Orchard.  Please take note that this is not your regular spa clinic. No music, no perfume oils or candles. The place is white well-lit just like a medical clinic. I was asked to change clothes and lay down. Then the massage began. The therapist focused on my back and I slept in no time. I just woke up when I felt I'm being tapped.  It was good; I felt rejuvenated and my back muscles was relieved of stress. They got relaxed.  WILL:  If you saw some of our posts last June in our blogs you will saw a gray bandage on my left hand. I was sprained and it hurts every time that part hit by a cool breeze. My body screamed for kneading but due to tight schedule, we only booked for it on 24 th of July. We were immediatel...

ABBEY: After four years, Victoria theatre opened its doors again to the public. We attended the open house last July 19.  The way how the old pieces and new structure was integrated gave a good impression to the visitors. Pieces of the back of the chairs were used to build a new artwork, the Rubik's cube. The old timbers were used in the walls of the theatre.  Our ears heard good music that gave us shivers when the Philharmonic Youth Wind orchestra played Circus of Venice as well as Carpenters medley. The richness of Chinese culture was shown on the dance numbers of Dance Ensemble Singapore.  I hope I'll be able to watch plays here in the future. WILL:  Lay the red carpet!!! Oldest and prestigious Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall is now open! After a massive and meticulous renovation, she welcomes her visitors both local and tourists for a free shows and guided tours. Are you also there to take part of tomorrow's history? We arr...

ABBEY: It's better late than never :) Due to miscommunication Stewords Riverboat restaurant still gave us the discounted price of their baby back ribs for 15sgd only. We went there two days after their festive 15th year anniversary. We were warmly welcomed by their staff and led us to our table which is directly opposite of the one we had on our first visit . We were given the menu and reminded that for us the price would still be 15. Two orders of baby back ribs please, tea, and unlimited soda :) A couple of minutes later, the drinks arrived, then the large plates of pork delight.  It comes with fries and house salad. It was so delicious. So soft that the pork is peeling from the bone almost instantly. The sauce is not too spicy nor too sweet. I think I sipped up to four glasses of Coke :) 'Twas a good, romantic dinner. WILL:  Looking for a place to impress your date? A place that you can look over the horizon while the sunshine gave way to a roman...

ABBEY: First of all, I stand corrected, it's not barbecue chicken, it is BBQ Chicken (Best of the Best Quality). All fried chicken are cooked in olive oil. We won 100 sgd voucher and we shared half of the winnnings to our Nanay and Tatay and the other half for us :). We visited their branch at Tiong Bahru Plaza.  On the first visit we ordered the Olive+Grilled family combo. It comprises of 7 pieces of chicken (olive luxury, korean traditional charbroiled chicken, Jamaican Jerk Spice BBQ and Hot Hot drum), a set of cheezy fries and coleslaw, and 4 drinks. I took the challenge of having Hot Hot Drum. It has 2 chillis on their menu. And definitely the drumsticks are hot. I managed the spiciness though with the help of my soda. We also topped up with olive rice. It was delicious and tasty. The next visit is on the same branch and we "take away" the order. We got BBQ wings, Teri Soya wings, Paris chicken, oriental honey chilli chicken and Hot Hot drums again. It was ...

ABBEY: I used to bring Wilma breakfast items from Vietnamese restaurant NamNam Noodle Bar but I haven't tasted them. I just knew they taste good. I was not wrong. One afternoon we had snack on their branch at Suntec City mall. For less than 30sgd, we had a bowl of noodle (pho), two 6-inch sandwich (bahn mi) and drinks.  I ordered sautéed lemongrass pork and cream cheese bahn mi and pho pork balls. The bahn mi is fresh  delicious and flavorful with the herbs used. The rice noodles' hot broth is "comforting" with its rich flavor. It is a bit spicy but I managed to finish it. The pork balls taste good as well. The condiment like the fish sauce and the herbs really bring out the unique taste on the food. WILL:  "You put my love on top, top, top." Every time Abbey surprised me of anything I always want to go to the highest point of the building where I am in just to sing the Beyonce's Love On Top. Haha..  I think Nam...

ABBEY: This is the third time we joined Chili's Burger Day. And again the burgers are priced at 8.88. We've learned our lessons on the first two that we attended. We went there early and we were given a table a couple of minutes on the queue.  Upon sitting, we placed our order as we anticipated that it will take time for preparation. We were wrong; few minutes after ordering, our food came. We were surprised as they delivered the burgers fast but we were more surprised that the burgers is not that freshly-made anymore; as if that they were prepared beforehand. Good thing is that the burger still tasted good and the fries somehow compensated our disappointment.  Looking forward for the next Burger Day and hoping that they look into more customer satisfaction and more branches to hold the event. WILL:  Every 5th month of each year I am always keeping an eye for Chili's Big Mouth Burger Day. It was held every June. Why I love to participate in it? Excep...

ABBEY: No second thought in a buying 1 pair of pizza after Costa Pizza confirmed that we can avail of their one-for-one promotion.  We got Fano (4 cheese), Verona (folded pizza), Lucca (meat lovers), and Rome (BBQ chicken). I like the most is Lucca; pizza topped with pepperoni, ham, salami, and marinated beef aling with mozarella. Very classic indeed. Fano has a moldy taste due to blue cheese. Sorry but I'm not a fan. It is as if my pizza is spoiled.  All pizzas were cooked in wood fire so the aroma is more appetizing and good. All four pizza cost less than 50sgd. WILL:  What? You miss the aroma of bread baked in a wood-fired oven but you are too lazy to leave your beloved bed? Well, I have a very good answer on that problem, dial 629-555-05 . Crosta Pizza announced their buy one take one promotion in their fFacebook page, but I can't see the end date on that offer. When my in-laws visited us here, I sent them a private message and asked if that promo i...
