ABBEY: I wasn't aware that there are two marine life attractions in Sentosa until last week. One is the SEA Aquarium near Waterfront Station. This is considered as the biggest aquarium in Asia. And the other is at Siloso point, the Underwater World. We went to Underwater World upon my sister's visit.  At 4PM, the show started for pink dolphins in the Dolphin Lagoon. They are wonderful creatures, very graceful and intelligent. They showed how they can sing, wave, pass through a hoop and give their signature jumps. Fur seals also joined them in exhibiting their tricks like how fast they can swim and catching rings.  I hope Sentosa management takes good care of them. Not much difference between SEA Aquarium and Underwater World, both have clear tunnels filled with fish, rays and sharks. The walkalator in Underwater World is a plus though. WILL:  As we need to be more picky on the activities we should do on Abbey’s sister second visit, we chose ...

ABBEY: This is my second stay in Marina Bay Sands. And I cannot ask for more as we're given a suite with balcony. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Ruaro. They are apologising as the suite is only on the second floor, but hey, this is still a suite. We'll just go up on 57th floor for the view.  The room includes a queen-size bed, a sofa bed, two television, make-up room and toilet and bathtub. The bar has a Nespresso machine :) So we had a coffee session with our friends after dinner.  Our stay here with my sister's family is a good one. I can see them get relaxed and refreshed. They went for a dip in the infinity pool and finished the stay with sumptuous breakfast on Sky on 57. WILL:  Wohooo! Marina Bay Sands Suite! Free! And again thanks to our sponsors, Daddy Edward and Mommy Lovelee. Second time to check-in at MBS Hotel but this is new experience for us. Aside from being housed at their lovely suite we invited some guests to sip some Nespres...

ABBEY: I was in the connotation that French cuisine is only pleasing to the eye and fancy but you won't get full as the serving is small :) It changed when we visited Paul Restaurant at Westgate Mall. The ambiance is very different. It was elegant. Noise volume is minimal. It is as if all the diners were refine. As I opened the menu, the items were, for me, a bit expensive. So what to do then? Use their promotion or offer. On that day, a meal consists of main course, soup of the day, and drink only costs $18.90++ with usual price of 40+sgd. I ordered their beef stew; choiced chops of beef with generous serving of bread. And when they put "generous" on the menu, they mean it. I got four slices of bread to match my stew. The stew is creamy and delicious. The beef comes with small amounts of fat which I liked. This made me missed our Pinoy's Nilagang baka or bulalo.  Soup of the day is carrot soup and my drink is mint iced tea. The tea tasted like the bubble gum ...

ABBEY: After a sumptuous snack at Boston Seafood Shack, we went to Dr. Cafe on their branch at Star Vista Mall to get their 2SGD frappe.  I got the mocha frappe. I really can't distinguished the difference with other cafe but kudos for their offer of lower price. We had our frappes as we catch up with our friends. WILL:  dr. Café  is making a big noise by having a series of promotions. The first deal is their 50% off on their hot coffees, cakes and sandwiches, Now they treat all their “facebook likers” a $2 frappe. Gosh! Abbey and I are so blessed that we got an this for free!!! Thanks Chat! I ordered for caramel frappe. I need a sweet dose of drink that time to wash away the fish and chips taste. Oh, we went at  dr. Café  Star Vista branch just after our  dine-in at Boston Seafood Shack .The taste, the taste, the taste! So sweet and delicious. Some frappe is just cold and very bland.. waste of money. Thanks  dr. Café , Till next...

ABBEY: I don't know which Taste of India did I went to the first time, but the branch that I visited recently is on 96 Owen Road (nearest MRT is Farrer Park). This is where my colleague planned to celebrate his daughter's first birthday. The menu is consisted of vegetable cutlet, briyani rice, sweet and sour fish fillets, aloo gobi, chicken curry and soups and sauce. They also served plain and naan with onion chives. Wilma's favourite papadum is there as well.  I think I went for three rounds until I can't take the spiciness anymore :) We washed down the food with milk tea, water and coke. WILL:  We were invited by husband’s colleague to attend the 1 st Birthday Party of their daughter Annika and we are really grateful that we were included in their guests list. It feels like that we matters. Ha! I am inch by inch embracing the aroma and spiciness of different curries. So here am I indulging on the Indian food at Taste of India. As accustome...

ABBEY: Seriously, Morganfields, are you serving this food? That was my reaction when I claimed a full slab of Sticky Bones.  Wilma and I won full slab of Sticky Bones worth 39.90SGD++. This is part of Morganfield's opening promotion at Suntec City Mall.  You just have to submit of your creative pose with their BIG picture of pork ribs on their store. I submitted the snap in which I'm proposing to it. I ordered Hickory BBQ spare ribs. It came with fries and coleslaw. I thought I can finish half of it, but I can't. It is just too big for me. In the end, we brought it home and have that as dinner for couple of days :). I gave an advice to the guests beside us to order only half-slab as I overheard them asking themselves if they will get half or full. The meat is very soft and is peeling out of the bones. They handed us a bib because eating it will gonna be messy. The sauce will be over your mouth and fingers.  WILL:  Happy 4 th Anniversary to "We...

ABBEY: After-office-hours activites can be helpful after a long day's work. Rooftop Bar at Sofitel offers cocktail food and drinks for the goers to unwind with their friends or colleagues. It is at the sixth storey; yes, not that high but the view is awesome as it was surrounded by tall buildings. They also offer mats for those groups who want to sit on the floor near the pool. Due to the tile color and reflection of light, the pool is a sea of gold. As it is Ladies' night when we went there, first drink is free and the next would be at 10sgd instead of 29. For light snack, we got coldcuts(charcuterie platter) - $31 and potato chips (Truffle and Parmesan Fries - $14) which were fried to perfection; crispy, salted, and thin.  WILL:  Midweek and it's Ladies Night!!! Thanks to Frannywany for her blogpost regarding to our featured hotel’s bar today. A lot of people knew about free drinks in many bars at Clarke Quay but we all know how crowded it is ...

ABBEY: Who says I can't eat at a seafood restaurant? Good thing Boston Seafood Shack offers fish and chips. At 12SGD, they are offering complete lunch meal deals from 11AM to 5PM; one main dish, soup of the day and drinks.  A tomato-based soup was served during that day along with a bottle of soda and my order of fish and chips. The coating of fish is crispy and went well with their tartar sauce. The two huge fillets were flavorful and fresh. Nothing special about the fries but they gave an ample amount.  Maybe next time I'll try their baked cream dory with BBQ sauce.  WILL: Are you looking for discounted rates or promotions on menu before heading to the restaurant? Aren’t you furious that lunch promotions is until 2PM and Monday to Friday only? Well, Boston Seafood Shack went against the odds. Except that they are offering a huge discount on their lunch deals, the timing is from 11AM to 5PM and extended until Saturdays! Yes 5PM and until Sa...

ABBEY: Another Rejoice Container dinner, and again I was a "tag-along". This time it was held in a restaurant at Fullerton Hotel. Town Restaurant is one of the five restaurants on the hotel. This restaurant is on the other side of the river opposite Clarke Quay.  The first food I put on my plate is tandoori chicken, plain naan, and prata with matching aloo curry. Next plate is sweet and sour fish fillet, roasted pork belly, and char siu pork. I didn't bother to come back to that roasting station as the staff can't seem to smile nor laugh at a joke. I asked if I can have the whole slab of roasted pork, but instead I received a smirk. Anyways, nothing or nobody can ruin my festive aura during that day.  The buffet also offers grilled beef, sausages and chicken wings. Last stop for me is ice cream. Their chocolate ice cream is rich in texture and taste. WILL:  First of all, I want to make an apology because we do not get a lot of chance to ta...
