And then steam the mixture for 30mins. 6. Let it cool for sometime and put it in fridge. Serve it cold. VERDICT WILL:  Abbey told me that he have a surprise for me. He can’t hold the excitement so he told me that he’lll do a chocolate flan for me this holiday season. A bright bulb of idea sprung in my head, I get in touch straight away with my Ate Beth for her to cook this unique dessert. An instant business was built ...

ABBEY: Well I cannot say that it is "another" Indian movie. Why? There are talks and movements to ban the showing of this film on India.  We watched it at Jade Cinema (Shaw Towers) a day after its release. Of all the taboo topics, they picked a fragile one: religion.  We can't argue with an alien asking god to help him find his lost remote as the inhabitants of the earth always tell him that only god can help him. He tried rituals of all sorts of sects but nothing happened. He even questioned the god what would he do. One group says to take off your sandals when going in to the temple while the other insist on wearing it. And it is very confusing for him as he was out of this planet for having so much rules.  What I am happy about in the movie is that he reiterated that there is only one God and all others are "wrong numbers". Good one, PK. Another movie to be recommended from Aamir Khan. WILL:  Aamir Khan is keen to entertain his audien...

ABBEY: At last we set foot at Chuckwagon;send-off dinner for Ford. The restaurant depicts a classical Wild Wild West salon. I was waiting for the bandits and Sheriff to come and have a duel. Just kidding.  We got half a dozen of spicy buffalo wings and their signature BLT sandwich. Ford ordered 2 full slabs of ribs. I somehow managed to finish two spicy wings and I can taste the flavour on each bite. The BLT bun is tasty as it toasted with butter. As always anything is better with bacon :) It made me full as the serving is big. I had a couple of ribs and they were delicious. The meat can be removed from the bones easily.  Also, I would like to commend the staff for their efficient and fast service. It only took a couple of minutes to serve our meal so we can satisfy our growling stomachs. WILL:  Are you just around the *polis* area? I mean Metropolis, Biopolis, Fusionopolis. Do you want a very serene place to unwind on your very hectic schedu...

ABBEY: It's been months since we had our last body massage. And good timing, my Citibank family gave me a complimentary massage at Spa Elements (Orchard MRT near Forever 21) which costs more than a hundred bucks. Visit with a friend, in this case, my "best friend", and can get the same treatment at 18sgd.  So we went there after office, filled up the form and then a couple of minutes later we're in the room with our own masseur. I chose the light intensity massage. But still I felt it was a deep tissue one. Every stroke on my back and neck is painful but the muscles were relieved of tension. Two questions came from my therapist; "When was your last massage?" and "Do you know how stiff your back is?" I just smiled knowing where will the conversation will go. Anyways, I'm happy with the service. It was really relaxing. WILL:  December!!! We still celebrate our bf/gf anniversary and for this year we went for a spa. Post-celebrati...

ABBEY: Since Wingstop only has one store in Singapore (Bedok Mall), going here is a challenge fo us living in the West. Not until December 2014 where they opened another branch at City Square Mall. But never mind that, once you're in sitting and munching on their delicious and flavorful chicken, nothing else matters. I like the most is their garlic parmesan flavor. The saltiness is right in every bite and after taste of garlic will kick in. Next flavors are lemon pepper and Oriental Soy pepper (for Singapore only). I'm not a fan of hot and spicy flavors.  Wilma wants to try the atomic but declined on second thought, maybe we'll try it next time. You can either order classic chicken wing or chicken tenders so you can eat all up. WILL:  When Abbey and I were going to Changi for his EMEA shift, we smelled a terrific aroma of freshly fried chicken. We looked around and I saw a man holding a carrier of Wingstop. I asked Abbey for his tablet and google...

ABBEY: Honestly, I forgot the name of the place where this beautiful house is located. But I do know that it is an hour travel from Cebu city proper and you will go up, yes up not north as it is on top of a hill.  It's a 3-storey house; guest rooms with toilet and bath at level one. Next storey is dining, kitchen and living room. And on the top is a library and the master's bedroom. Since it is on a hill, the second floor acts as the main one.  A veranda will give you a good view of adjacent hills. In early mornings, fog engulfs this space. There is a nearby restaurant which offers not only food but have "anger and fear management" activities. You can throw a plate on the wall if you're angry or conquer your fear by riding the zipline. The place is very good for relaxing and vacation. WILL:  Hey Cebuanos are you envious of people in Luzon because they have Baguio City? Look no further. You also have Balamban that Manila boys and girl...

ABBEY:  Book or movie? That would be an endless argument especially that this came from the Bible.  We won a pair of 3D Premiere night tickets on Shaw Lido. It is the story of Moses; from his years as prince of Egypt until leading the Israelites to the Promised Land. It showed how God sent the plagues due to Pharaoh's hardened heart on releasing the Hebrews from bondage. No one will finish his plans and no one will work for him if that happens.  My imagination for the story when I was a child came to life and I'm happy with it. Though, there are points that should not be depicted as such but as the saying goes, to each his own. I'm glad that this movie somehow became an antidote for Noah's silverscreen appearance. WILL:  I am really pretty disappointed about "Noah" and that is the reason why I do not want to watch Exodus. But when it came to my knowledge that Christian Bale will play as Moses, I am somewhat convinced by Abbey to watch it one weeken...

ABBEY: This is the second time Rex visited Singapore and I'm glad we won a pair of ticket for his two-night performance by simply answering who is the character he made famous helping the Superfriends. Yes, it is Maritess. The show was held at Drama Theatre of School of the Arts (SOTA; near Dhoby Ghaut MRT). Singapore-based Filipino comedian Orion Perez prepared our jaw and belly with his antics by speaking in a lot of accents. Like Australian, British, German, chong-ching-chang (Chinese), shubu-shubu-shubu (French), Singlish and (pakata-katak) Pinoy English. After thirty minutes or so, he introduced Rex. Rex started his act by telling the story about his flight. It was very funny. "Don't "fanic", don't "fanic".  Then, he told us regarding the very first and probably the last dinner of his friend on their house. His friend definitely had a nightmare eating "black rocky road" (dinuguan). Just like the first one, that night is great...

ABBEY: Big burgers are a craze nowadays. Just like Zark's burger in Philippines. Singapore's Fat Cow Palace in Temples Street (nearest MRT is Chinatown - Purple Line) offers a wide variety of burgers on their menu.  As promotion, for only 9.50sgd, you can get a whole burger meal; big burger, fries, and a drink. I got the beef burger instead of chicken. The best part is that the beef pattie is not ground, it is pulled. Yes, just like the corned beef is made. The presentation is awesome. It was served in a chopping board, with side salad, burger in the middle and the fries were in a cute little fryer. The burger tastes somehow close to a Malaysian-kind of taste, but it was good.  WILL:  Looking for something that value the worth of your money? Go to the voucher sites like Groupon and Deals.com.sg and for sure you can see cheap finds there.   Direct from office, we headed straight towards the Fat Cow Palace which just a street away from Chinat...

ABBEY: The first time I saw this restaurant on third storey of Westgate Mall, I told myself that I'll be dining in it.  Lo and behold, we decided to hold my post-birthday celebration lunch there with my ever-beautiful date, Wilma.  I munched on their grilled chicken wings and also on grilled saba. I took a sample of their tepanyaki with chicken as meat. It was delicious. The mushroom give it a good aroma and taste. Since this is a Japanese restaurant, sushi will be present.  My favourite inari is there. With chopsticks, wasabi and soy sauce, I ate a plateful of sushi. I also tried their porridge. Then I went for Japanese curry. It really went well with Japanese rice and chicken karaage. I thought I'll not be having  room for dessert but I did. I got chocolate ice. I washed them all up with a couple of lemonade. WILL:  It is Abbey’s long-month birthday celebration and to grant one of his wish, ...
