ABBEY: Wilma is craving for kimchi so we decided to eat at Insadong Koreatown at Sentosa. The Koreatown food place is a mix of Korea-Chinese/Western. You will be the one to put your order on the machine so make sure to check the items you want listed in the wall nearby to avoid holding up the queue for too long.  I got pork belly kimchi stew which comes with a bowl of rice and side dishes (anchovies, radish, and kimchi). I like the taste of the stew. It is not that spicy and really enjoyed the flavor along slices of pork belly, kimchi and soft tofu.  The meal alone costs SGD12. And there’s our fix for Korean food. Insadong Korea Town - Resorts World Sentosa Insadong Korea Town - Resorts World Sentosa MENU Insadong Korea Town - Resorts World Sentosa How to Order Insadong Korea Town - Resorts World Sentosa Pork Belly Kimchi Stew WILL:  As you can see on our blog posts, we rarely go out to roam around Singapore and dine-out.

ABBEY: We were looking for kimchi at Cold Storage when we stumbled upon these two new flavors of Ruffles chips. We grabbed a bag of each flavor and headed home. Oh yes, we didn’t forget the kimchi.  We preferred the classic hot wings flavor over the loaded bacon and cheddar as the latter is too salty for us.  The classic hot wings leaves a sour aftertaste as well as heat like if your eating real hot chicken wings. Next time we’ll try with soda.  Goodbye healthy eating again :)  Ruffles: Hot Wings and Bacon & Loaded Bacon and Cheddar Potato Skins WILL:  We found a gem! Ruffles newly released flavours.. The Classic Hot Wings and Loaded Bacon and Cheddar Potato Skins.  It is unexpected that the Classic Hot Wings is really good. The spiciness and the sour taste is rewarding! The other flavor, haha, really tasted like bacon. But I will still go for real bacon..you know what I mean?  I am addicted with chips again! Oh my gosh! Anyway, ...

ABBEY: When I was a kid, I always use to think that making champorado requires a master kitchen skill to cook. But I just found out it’s not :) Haha. Ingredients: Glutinous rice (ratio of rice to cocoa is 1 cup rice: 3tbsp cocoa) Cocoa powder Sugar (depends on how sweet you want your champorado to be) Water (depends on the viscosity of your champorado you want to be) Powdered milk (this is preferred. I always use this) Mix all dry ingredients in a caserrole except the powdered milk until well incorporated. Add in water. See package of glutinous rice for cooking instructions. Bring it to a boil. Stir every a couple of minutes to avoid sticking at the bottom. From here on, it depends on you how thick your champorado will be as well as the sweetness. Put in a bowl and top with powdered milk. This can also be served cold. Easy Champorado (Filipino Chocolate Rice Porridge) with Bear Brand Powdered Milk VERDICT WILL:  I have a specific kind of chaporado that I...

ABBEY: We got a chance to spend sometime with Ate Che, a returning OFW and co-founder of Buttons Up Mushroom, before going back to Philippines for good.  We met at Miam-Mia@Waterway Point.  I got  Shogayaki Pork Miam Donburi (SGD 15.90). It is rice with pork fillet topped with tofu, baby radish and cucumber. I think it is pricey for a meduim-sized serving. But the taste is delicious and have lots of flavor.  The restaurant is fusion of French and Japanese. They also have soufflés, spaghetti, parfaits, pancakes, coffee and tea. Miam Miam Singapore Riz Noir Squid Ink Rice Miam Miam Singapore Shogayaki Pork Miam Miam Singapore Menu Miam Miam Singapore Menu WILL:  To celebrate the next chapter of Ate Che's (one of the founder of ButtonsUp Mushroom Crisp ) life, we met her at Miam Miam - Punggol Waterway Point Mall.  That was Saturday and of course, the diner was all-packed. I ordered Riz Noir Squid Ink Rice. Wow! That was...

Fried Chicken Shawarma VERDICT WILL:  Abbey found a new way to entice our tastebuds with his new version of wrapped chicken. Well, now it is called "Chicken Shwarma". Surprised? Haha!  With simple twitch and add of cumin pow...

ABBEY: Cheese tarts are becoming popular nowadays. They’re selling like hotcakes and the profit is good as they are pricey. So we took the opportunity to buy a box of six for (MYR5.80 each) when we went to Malaysia.  It was delicious and so cheesy. It is not all tart, but with generous amount of fillings. Perfect pair for my kopi.  Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart @ Suria KLCC WILL:  This is our last blog for our Malaysia 2-day escapade.  Before paving our way to airport, Abbey didn’t forget to buy out for me to bring home the Hokkaido Cheese Tart. He definitely knew me, I LOVE CHEESE!  For only MYR5.80 each (Free 1 for every 5), my husband define turned on my happy cells. Haha!  So what's the taste? It is cheese so what do you expect guys! Ha! Creamy, slight salty but the coarse tart made a huge impact on every bite. Awesome!  Perfect for tea and any time of the day. Ahhm yeah! I can eat the whole pack of 6 in one seating....

ABBEY: Chat’s hard and quality work has been rewarded and we’re glad she invited us to celebrate it. We dined at The King Louis - Vivo City. At first, we planned to have ala carte items but ended with an ala carte buffet at SGD39.90++ (per head).  We were given a checklist of the menu. We got mushroom, pumpkin and onion soups, onion rings, baked rice, and carbonara. They’re delicious and really filled us. But we didn’t stop there. We also tried their roasted beef, pork loin, arabian lamb and pork ribs. Those ribs really got me. They get off the bones easily and the meat is soft.  For our last order we had King’s brownie and we all washed the food down with rootbeer float which really reminds us of famous A&W’s one.  The portions will be small, but since it is a buffet you can have it many times. This is good control of food else you will pay for the wastage. The King Louis Grill & Bar: King's Ala Carte Dinner Buffet SOUPS AND PASTA  The ...

ABBEY: Sand artworks are being displayed now at Sentosa. It is time for Sentosa Sandsation 2017. The exhibit is at Siloso Beach (alight the monorail at Beach Station and ride a tram). I was amazed at the structures which shows Singaporean culture like chope, kiasu, queuing, and fondness to food. The artists really put a lot of time and effort for this show. Though it is on the beach, don’t worry about the sun as the exhibit is covered; else the masterpieces will just melt at the first drop of rain. After walking on the tour, head to Imbiah station for a light show at the Merlion. By the way, did I forget to say both are free? Yes, it is for free. Be amazed.

ABBEY:  My wife made “lambing” and told me she wants to eat different flavors of pies from April’s Bakery. I really knew she wants it as she even gave me the address of the shop nearest to my office :)  I got the promo “6 for 5” for 10SGD. We had red bean, taro, thai tea, custard, sesame, and the one with fusion of banana.  The fillings are overwhelming and delicious. It is a thin layer of pie with oozing fillings. Wow.  Pair it up with coffee or tea. April's Bakery Singapore WILL:  April's Bakery! And even though it is out of his usual way home, he made a big effort just to go to Tampines and get me some of those famous Thai Pastries.  My favourite is Custard Pie. The texture and the taste of custard complements well with my tea. It is a total afternoon delight.  This is a good food for a snack or high tea whenever you have a visitor. Perfect for hot or cold drinks.  Ok now, what are you waiting for? Walk your way to one of the...

ABBEY:   Here are some of the places we visited for our Kuala Lumpur Trip. For a day tour, wear light and comfortable clothing. Bring water, towel and extra shirt. Batu Caves This is our first destination upon arrival at KL. We came in the morning so it’s not that hot yet and the cave give cool breeze. There is also less crowd. You can reach there via KTM Komuter (last stop). Be prepared to go up. It’s not an easy task specially the steps are narrow (or is it just my big feet?). Marvel and take snaps of the rock formation and be respectful of the place. There are shops below for food and souvenirs.  KL Bird Park For a fee of RM67 per person you can enter the world’s largest walk-in aviary. The birds are accustomed to the visitors and they roam around the park like in the wild. You can see parrots, ibis, peacocks, flamingoes, owls, and ostriches to name a few. Don’t miss the bird show as well. Some birds can be fed with approved food that can be bought on park’s vending ...

ABBEY: There were many recommendations for Valentine Roti as a must-visit place in Kuala Lumpur. So after a few moments of refreshing at Elements Kuala Lumpur, we booked a taxi headed on to the place. It looks like a carinderia (eatery) in the Philippines; open and beside the road.  I got a serving of Valentine Thosai. For (MYR6.00), I had a plate of large thosai and different gravies. It was the same taste as I had tried in Singapore.  Then I also had kopi to match.  Beware of the attacking stray cat :).. Valentine Roti - Best Roti Canai - MENU Valentine Roti - Best Roti Canai - MENU WILL:  Because Abbey is gaga over Indian Cuisines, we searched and found the best roti canai that travelers and bloggers are talking about. It is Valentine Roti.  Ok, ok! I admit that we made a bad choice when we booked a hotel taxi to go there, it costs us MYR50. Haha! Where it is located? Just 15-minutes walk from the Petronas' Twin Towers. Anyway, her...
