ABBEY: Golden Village Paya Lebar boasts its laser projection system and its spacious twin leather seats. So we went ahead and watch Justice League on a weekend.  Only the food and drinks bought in the cinema will be allowed.  I thought the seats are able to recline but its not. The space between the other twins are not that apart. I can still feel the feet or maybe the knee of the person behind me.  When it comes to the projection I don’t find any difference with other cinema. Maybe I’m not just keen into that technology. Duo Deluxe Golden Village - SEAT  Duo Deluxe Golden Village - TICKET PRICE Duo Deluxe Golden Village -  WILL:  We are not that bored to the old seat or lazy boys kind of cinemas, we just want to explore new things to serve our readers. So here, we went to the first laser cinema of Golden Village at Singapore Post (Paya Lebar).  This Duo Deluxe is one of the latest offering of GV! It has leather seat...

It would take time and effort to truly cook curry from scratch and those two are not on my side since Wilma is requesting for it. Not that I just bought from a hawker stall but cooked it with some “cheats”. Curry Ingredients: Cooked basmati rice (lessen the portion of water when cooking as it will absorb the curry later) A packet of curry masala Onion (cubed) Tomatoes (cubed) Garlic Coriander leaves Curry leaves Hard-boiled eggs Raita Ingredients: Half pint of curd (natural yogurt) 1 medium onion (cubed) 1 green chili (chopped) Coriander leaves Cumin powder Salt Curry: Sauté onion, then garlic, then tomatoes and curry leaves. Dissolve the packet of curry masala on water. Once the tomatoes are soft, mix in the curry masala. Have it boil for a couple of minutes until it is thick. The technique is layering.  In a pot, spread a scoopful of curry. Then top it with rice. Repeat until all are mixed. Top with coriander leaves and egg. Rait...

ABBEY: We watched Justice League on the weekend after its release at Golden Village Paya Lebar. The movie doesn’t have a boring scene specially when Gal Gadot is there. Who gets bored with her?  Adding The Flash and his crazy punchlines and naivety, you will definitely burst into laughter specially when he showed his skills but realized that Superman is also fast.  Yes, that is a spoiler. My fave superhero is alive. I just noticed that there are some resemblance with Batman and Ironman with regards of how they act as rich persons as well as Spiderman and The Flash. Definitely there will be a sequel for this. Golden Village - Duo Deluxe, Paya Lebar Justice League (2017) WILL:  Aside from Wonder Woman, this is the one of the most awaited film of Abbey for 2017, Justice League (where's Green Lantern?).  I enjoyed the movie, but of course not as much enjoyment with Marvel's. I am not aware that Superman can be resurrected from the dead and he is the only ...

We hear you!!! Large number of readers, oh even our relatives told us that it is impractical to withdraw money from the bank just to put in their piggy bank. It creates hassle on their part. Readers who receives a monthly salary preferred to save per month. Some are comfortable on the traditional weekly savings. To accommodate both, we generated 52-week and monthly money savings challenge. FREE TO DOWNLOAD. Click the images below.  12-Month Money Saving Challenge 2018 52-Week Money Saving Challenge 2018 Now, due to upcoming new event for us, we decided to have the monthly savings plan too. This new set-up will bring excitement for both of us and we can dish out our 3 year old Garrett popcorn tin can. Make money-saving a habit. It’s for your future! 

ABBEY: Singapore held the largest fintech festival last November 13-17 at Expo. We went there on the second day and we were awed by the works being done to further progress the development of new technology in providing financial services.  Transactions will be lightning-fast, have less fees and more secure. Vulnerabilities will be there and that’s when the specialists comes in.  Blockchains and crypto currencies are also here to stay. And it is exciting what it will bring in the future.  Singapore FinTech Festival 2017:NEM Blockchain Singapore FinTech Festival 2017: Oracle Digital Banking Singapore FinTech Festival 2017:  Monetary Authority Singapore Project Ubin WILL:  Of course, Singapore will not let themselves left behind! Singapore is Asia's hub of big international banks and a major key player in technology in the region. Surpasses all, Singapore organized the largest FinTech in the globe... The Singapore FinTech Festival 2017....

ABBEY: The battle of bike-sharing began when ofo announced that their customers can enjoy unlimited rides without deposit. Then mobike followed by offering a 5SGD fee for 6-month use (2 hours per ride). Here are my comparisons: 1. App     Ofo - easy to use specially when unlocking and locking the bike. Also you can give feedback for repair and experience when using it.     Mobike - even when I locked the bike there is no confirmation in the app and I need to restart the app just to see if I locked the bike properly. 2. Availability     Ofo has less bike compared to mobike (Punggol area). Maybe because customers like the ofo offer more so demand is high. 3. Cycling experience.     Ofo is better in stability. When I used mobike the bike will wiggle on a uneven pavement, bumpy road or even on a stone which I didn’t observe in ofo. It could be attributed to the thin wheels of mobike. Seat adjustment mechanism is better in ofo. Wi...

100g butter 3 dried chile flakes (depends on your preference)  1 bulb of garlic  1 head cauliflower; cut into florets  2 cups frozen green peas and corn and carrot (do not thaw) 2 Beaten eggs Salt and pepper to taste Melt the butter and cook for 5 minutes the frozen peas and corn and carrot.  Toss in the garlic and add the cauliflower once garlic is slightly brown.  Stir occasionally until the cauliflower is tender. Toss the egg, sprinkle chili.  Salt and pepper to taste Stir-Fried Cauliflower with Green Peas, Corn & Carrot VERDICT ABBEY: This is supposed to be a cauliflower fried rice but the leftover rice is not good to fry. So Wilma whipped it up to another dish.  The result? It was delicious, colorful and full of flavor. The vegetables are tender and the egg acted as a binder to them. Try it. It is easy to cook.

ABBEY: After our “early” morning seminar on a Sunday, we had our brunch at Kim Dae Mun along Orchard road. They are serving Korean food.  Wilma got me a large bowl of bibimbap. So after saying grace, I mixed my bibimbap and dig in. It was so delicious. The kimchi is sweet and spicy and made my nose runny for a couple of minutes.  It is a self-service restaurant; chope a table, queue to order, bring the food to your table and eat. Kim Dae Mun Korean Food - Menu  Kim Dae Mun Korean Food Kim Dae Mun Korean Food - Kimchi Soup Pork  Kim Dae Mun Korean Food - Bibimbap WILL:  Do you want to dine at an "authentic" Korean restaurant? How can I say it is authentic? It is run by Koreans. Hehe.  Their meals do not pass the range of S$10 with a huge serving and a free side dish. Cheap but not cheapo.  I ordered Kimchi Soup Pork ($7.50) with rice. The taste? Oh my! It is really kimchi. Better than restaurants you can find inside m...

ABBEY: We planned to have a drink while watching Billions TV series. We bought two 220ml bottles of Brown Brother Moscato. It looks like it has cork but it’s not. You can just twist it open.  It is a sparkling wine. It is sweet and I like it because it doesn’t have a strong taste and aftertaste of alcohol. Then why am I drinking wine? Haha. I think this is the kind of wine I can tolerate. WILL:  I want to drink a wine for almost a month ago. I am looking for a good sweet moscato that has a cap not a cork. Why? Abbey is not fond of drinking alcoholic beverages. I can't finish one bottle at once.  At Cold Storage (Raffles City), before heading to meet a person from Unilever Network, we stumbled upon this tiny bottle of moscato wine from Australia. The Brown Brothers. We saw 2 variety of a sparkling wine and Abbey decided to buy the two.  This is my second time to saw Abbey appreciate wine. He gulped his Vintage Moscato Sparkling straight from the bo...

ABBEY: Wilma’s anticipation for Thor:Ragnarok is so high that when the tickets were made available she bought a pair at Shaw Premiere (NEX). The passes can make you stay at the Premiere Lounge while passing time and have some snacks.  We also got 5SGD voucher so our All-day Breaksfast set was 7.50 only. We were in the theater 15 minutes before the show starts and were given a big bowl of popcorn, a mountain of cheesy nachos and drink. The blanket has no funky smell and is comfortable. The seat however is not smooth when I’m reclining it. The leather makes too much noise which can disturb other viewers.  Also I was restricted stretching out by the wall separating us with other guests.  Commendation to the staffs as they’re very attentive to needs of patrons.

ABBEY: Yey! We got our new step tracker (Careeach) from Health Promotion Board for 5.5SGD. The goal is to walk at least 10,000 steps.  The new device can give information about the number of steps, obviously. Aside from that, it shows the distance as well as the calories burnt. It looks like Fitbit watches and I find it difficult to charge as it take too much space in the USB hub. Other than that, it looks cool and elegant.  To health and wellness. National Steps Challenge™ Season 3 by Health Promotion Board Careeach Step Tracker  WILL:  We joined the Health Promoto Board's National Steps Challenge on its first wave. There is nothing wrong with the mechanism of the step counter but it just pops out of its holder. Yes, we lost the counter but the bracelet remained. Haha.  We received an email to join the steps challenge in wave 3. We paid only $5.50 for the device, how cool was that? It doesn't require any cord, you can directly plug and re-charge i...

ABBEY: We got hungry after our “shopping spree” at Mustafa.  We went at Sakunthala's and had our dinner. I got egg briyani for SGD8.50. It came with an enormous serving of briyani rice , two eggs and papads. What can I say? The meal is delicious, aromatic and full of flavor.  I’ll come back for more. Sakunthala's Restaurant - Egg Biryani Sakunthala's Restaurant -Fish Biryani Sakunthala's Restaurant - Biryani Menu Sakunthala's Restaurant at Syed Alwi Road WILL:  After redeeming our new "walk-counter" at Health Promotion Board HQ, we headed to Mustafa. After our haul at 24hours mall, we went for a dinner at Sakunthala.  Why we chose Sakunthala? There's a lot of people (Indiands and Foreigners) dining inside and outside the restaurant, that is the sign that they offer something spectacular.  For days, I am craving for Biryani. Something spicy. I ordered for fish Briyani for $11.00. It comes up with a huge serving of rice...

ABBEY: We got a date with Shane, our friend and highschool classmate. Since she’s new at SG, we want her to taste local cuisine. We went to The Coffee House at Waterway Point.  I got the creamy laksa (SGD7.50) topped with tofu, oyster,  prawn, fish cakes and egg. Each scoop is delicious. We recommended Nasi Lemak for Shane. This comes with sambal prawn and chicken satay.  And as to their name coffee and tea will be available :) The Coffee House | Bak Kut Teh Set  The Coffee House | Laksa The Coffee House | Menu The Coffee House | Menu WILL:  Work, work, work! That is Shane! Yep! Meet Shane! Oops! No photo of her. Haha. Next time, after her bruises in her face subsides, we will take one shot of her. Why she have bruises? Long story...  Because Shane is busy when we go to Sentosa , we scheduled another date to dine and to relay to her the miracle in our life. In many food outlets you can find in Waterway Punggol, we chose The...

ABBEY: We got good news in the past month so we want to share it with our close friends in Singapore. But only Chat was available that time. We went to Good Old Days Sentosa (Beach Station).  For a 20SGD budget per person you can have a buffet of local dishes. They serve laska, bee hon, seafood tofu, fish fillet, chicken and desserts like fruits and cake.  There is not much variety of food but we enjoyed the taste of local food and also catching up with our stories. We even made our version of Yong Tau Foo with curry.  This really gave us time to reminisce the “good old days” as well as the bright future ahead. WILL:  We received a miracle. A huge one! And of course we need to share with our friend here in Singapore. Abbey, I and Chat roamed around at Sentosa and ate dinner at Good Old Days.  This is one of the cheapest eat-all-you can in Singapore. It serves not more than 12 local dishes that time. Not too much variety to choose from. Even...

ABBEY: At last, we picked a new item for our chocolate spread. We tried Nutella, the one from Ikea and this time we chose Ovomaltine.  It is a crunchy spread. Not too sweet and can be eaten on its own :) We tried to partner it up with a chunky peanut butter and it went very well. A meal in itself. Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream Spread with Filipino Pandesal WILL:  Ovomaltine was once a craze here in Singapore. For years, there's a voice inside me not to buy it. But last month, they throw an offer for $6.50 and in that cue, we bought a jar.  I am expecting it to be crunchy like it was advertised in its label. Well. It delivers frustration on me. The sweetness is not enough; is lacking of something. So I decided not to eat some of it again. :(  One day, Abbey spread Ovamaltine at the bread and peanut butter on another one, put it together and it is overwhelmingly good. Actually it is addictive.  Ovomaltine, for me cannot stand alone, it needs peanut b...

ABBEY: We tried to have snack at the Wolf Burgers (Changi City Point). They brought back their waffle promo. A set of waffle with ice cream comes with a coffee. I got Espresso Caramel Waffle with Coffee Ice Cream and cappuccino for (SGD8.90).  The waffles are crispy in the outside but soft in the inside and it goes well with the ice cream. Each bite is being washed down with a sip of hot coffee.  Perfect for that gloomy, cold afternoon. Wolf Burgers - Miso Tofu Veggie Burger Wolf Burgers - Waffle and Cappuccino Wolf Burgers (Changi City Point) - MENU WILL:  I go to Abbey's office once in a blue moon. And every now and then, I go there with a very hungry stomach. I have Mamma Mia on my head to dine in but unfortunately they only have kiosk that sells pizza for takeaway. Beside them is Wolf Burgers.  Wolf Burgers caught my curiosity on their miso tofu veggie burger ($9.90), Abbey got that for me and matched it up with fries and cola...
