ABBEY : We went here for lunch buffet with Kuya Iking. The buffet is still being setup but they already ushered us to our table.  It was a seafood buffet and I reminded myself to be more cautious of the food. I think every dish that they can put shrimp into, they did. I had Hokien prawn mee and enjoyed it as I drizzle it with calamansi (palabok style). Also I got pasta, tuna and greek salads. Then I tried their tandoori lamb. It was delicious. For dessert I had chocolate and vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. To settle it all, I went for coffee. The staff keeps looking at us as we're resting and they keep on asking us to eat more. Maybe they thought that we don't like the buffet.  To prove them wrong, we went again at Four Points, this time for dinner, 7 days after our lunch. It was a lobster feast. Wilma's colleagues went with us and each one was given a half serving of a lobster. What I enjoyed the most are baked halibut, seafood rice, sashimi (I missed this ...

ABBEY: We dined in Ma Maison restaurant at Capitol Piazza before we go to Singapore GP 2016 Pit-Lane experience.  This is a Japanese restaurant and since I want to have a day free of fried things I chose ramen over tonkatsu. The day we went is Ramen Topping Day in which I got an additional egg topping for my bowl.  The shoyu soup was flavorful and the noodle is firm. Along with it are bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, corn and egg.  We were also able to chat with the branch manager and asked us to visit again or their other branches. Ramen & Tonkatsu Ma Maiso's Tonkatsu Ramen Menu   Rosu Katsu Set Tomagu Soup Miso Tonkatsu Ramen Ramen & Tonkatsu Ma Maison's Tonakatsu Menu WILL:  Me and my siblings are sucker for noodles, and that is why I scheduled a dinner in Ramen & Tonkatsu Ma Maison at Capitol Piazza, which will be few train stations away from F1 Pit Lane Experience.  To my surprise, three of us went for tonkatsu me...

ABBEY: I once heard from a seminar to celebrate your successes and yes we did.  We went to Burgers vs Wings + Bar at the 11th storey of Orchard Central. Chat got promoted and we got US visas . I got their recommended classic heavyweight burger. The works? Angus beef patty, fried egg, tomato, bacon, chilli con carne, onions, cheese where in between the buns. It is huge and I need to take it down. The chilli con carne gave a unique taste on the burger. We also have hickory-smoked barbecue wings. Don't be fooled by its reddish color which you think it is so spicy. They are sweet and has a bit of spice. I think it is not Burger vs Wings. They teamed up to knock me down. Haha.

ABBEY: Ben & Jerry's have two new flavors for their core series : brownie batter and cookies & cream cheesecake. First time I saw them, I planned to get them for Wilma. After spoiling her night, nothing beats two pints of ice cream to say sorry.  They were delicious. But I like the brownie batter more. It is gooey and chocolatey. Every spoonfol of that sweety goodness is an indulgence. Make sure to drink water after.  Worth every calorie. Haha. WILL:  I am well-known to be notorious in delaying gratification but Abbey is all out on spoiling me. Here ye! Here ye! After almost a year of my "next time..next time" Abbey bought this Ben & Jerry's Core Line.  I do not like the cheesecake core. The taste is not close to cheesecake. The brownie batter core is way too sweet (Abbey loves it).  This Ice Cream Line is of course more expensive than the simple flavours, but I rather go for simplicity.  Anyways, thanks Abbey for letting me tr...

Ingredients: 300-400 grams of chicken liver (cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces) 2 tbsp of ginger-garlic paste 1 tbsp chicken 65 or chicken tikka powder 1 medium tomato (finely chopped) 1 onion (finely chopped) 1 tsp turmeric powder Few leaves of coriander Few leaves of curry leaves Sauté onion, tomato, coriander and curry leaves. Once tomato is already melted, put on ginger-garlic paste, chicken 65. Put on the liver along with a cup of water. Cover with lid. Simmer until the sauce thickens. Top with fresh coriander and fried curry and serve with rice. Chicken Liver Curry VERDICT WILL:  When we were at the Banana Leaf Apolo, I saw one dish at their menu and because we may not finish all what we ordered, I just requested Abbey to cook it for our next week’s dinner. That is the Chicken Liver Curry. Abbey surprised me with basmati rice and papadum on the side. Well, what can you expect on Abbey’s cooking? Yummy! Our house was filled of curry’s aro...

Ingredients: 7-8 garlic (some chopped / some minced) 2 chicken breast (boiled and shredded - do not put salt when boiling and set aside the broth) 2-3 stalks of spring onions 1 medium onion (chopped) sotanghon annatto (atsuete) seeds/powder (soaked in hot water for coloring)  chicken cubes Fry the chopped garlic and then set aside. Chope the spring onions and set aside. Soak the sotanghon to hydrate. Sauté onion, garlic, then chicken. Put the chicken broth and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Put the chicken cubes upon boiling. Filter the sotanghon and put a portion in the bowl. Soak it with the soup. Garnish with spring onions and frid garlic. Abbey's Sotanghon VERDICT WILL:  Sheng Shiong gave us a free item! Yey! A pack of rice vermicelli! Then an idea came to me why not use it to cook Sotanghon. I suggested it to Abbey and on instance, he made it for me to satisfy my cravings.   How good it is? It is like home! Chicken broth surface...

ABBEY: I remember the first time I went to  Marché. I was totally confused. Maybe amazed of how the system works and there are lots of options to choose from. So when we visited their branch at Somerset I am now focused. I circled the whole restaurant. They have sausages, steaks, paella, crepes, etc.  What I got is roasted chicken (half) with baked potato. It was delicious. The chicken is moist and no blood. Every spoonful of baked potato with sour cream and bacon bits is sumptuous and this made me full after dinner. Marché Guest Card   Roasted Chicken Crepe Roasted Chicken with Baked Potato WILL:  This is the third time to eat at Marché Movenpick and I am asking myself and Abbey why we do not have a recorded journal on this on our blog. I wonder why. Well, moving on. This time we visited their 313@Somerset branch. (We ate before at VivoCity) After our unforgettable facial at Spa Symphony, we went to first floor of 313@somerset...

ABBEY:  Before heading to LTA Gallery for our visit, we had our lunch first at Banana Leaf restaurant at Race Course Road.  The place was almost full and the staffs were busy attending to guests need. We placed our order via their interactive menu (iPad). Since it was packed, the order was delayed for a couple of minutes. Good thing the soda came early.  I had chicken briyani. For the price, the serving is small compared to other Indian restaurant I've been but it is full of flavor. We also had another bowl of papadum for 2SGD. I think the restaurant will appeal mostly to foreigners and visitors of Singapore. Chicken Briyani Chicken Tikka Masala Receipt at iPad WILL:  After my Saturday work, we took our lunch at Banana Leaf Apolo. It is one of the most popular Indian Cuisine Restaurant in Singapore. But the question, is it the best?  All seats are almost occupied when we reached around 1:30PM. Not more than 10 minutes when they guided ...

ABBEY: The Land Transport Gallery exhibits how the transport system in Singapore evolved to what it is now.  We hop on to the "train" and go back in time. The first phase shows the early public vehicles used for transport. It includes old models of buses and taxis.  The next phase gave us a glimpse of the tickets given by the conductors and also the driver information cards. Then the works began on the next phase. As there is scarcity in space, Singapore dug tunnels to cater expressways and Mass Rapid Transit (MRT).  With this, the traffic flow is more manageable and efficient.  We were guided to an auditorium where we were shown situations that need our opinions in terms of votes. Would you rather build more roads so less traffic or build more playground and malls for people to use? Would you prefer MRT to be built near your home where there will be noise or ride a bus before you're able to get to MRT? Would you rather take public transportation where seat i...

ABBEY: This blog aims to help readers on how to apply for a US Visitor Visa (B2). Only that and nothing else. I know this is not the first blog to give this information but I felt compelled to clear things out or debunk myths about the application specially to my countrymen, the Filipinos. Since this is a process, it is standardized and it doesn't matter where you apply for visa. Be it India, Canada, Singapore or Philippines, it will all be the same. Without further ado, here are the steps: 1. Determine what visa type are you applying. 2. Pay for US Visa application Fee. 3. Fill up DS-160 form online 4. Schedule your interview 5. Visit US embassy on your scheduled date. 6. Passport delivery Yes, only 6 steps . But I'll explain each of them further. My wife and I are based in Singapore. Obviously, we need to apply visa in US Embassy Singapore. 1. Determine what visa type are you applying: This is where a lot of people gets confused and this is only the first st...
