Lady M Singapore at South Beach

ABBEY: After checking what Seamless conference offers at Suntec Convention Centre we went to Lady M (South Beach Tower) for a snack. 

We got two slices of cake and two beverages for SGD30. I had Caramel Miroir. It is a sponge cake topped with dark chocolate mousse and caramel. It was sweet and the burnt taste of caramel gives it a distinct after taste. It is perfect for my cup of cappuccino. 

The place is chic and looks elegant; the walls as well as the furnishings are white.

WILL: Abbey and I attended the Seamless Event at Suntec City and just few walks at MRT links us at JW Marriot's South Beach Building. 

While Abbey is on the phone with a Singtel's customer care, I am busy checking the net what is the best cafe we can go for a snack. 

Lady M (New York) it is! Sat beside the window pane and we just want to watch the rain and traffic at the street. 

Ordered their famous cake, Signature Mille Crepes  and a teapot of Lemon Ginger Green Tea. The cake outrageously melts in your mouth. Oh my gosh! One of the best cake here in Singapore. The sweetness of every bite is responding perfectly on my tea. 

The ambiance is relaxing. It pushes out Abbey's anxiety (Singtel bill). Haha!

VERDICT
ABBEY: I don’t know why only this time we did this dish. Maybe because it takes more time to cook than others. 

But it’s worth it. The crunchiness of the wrapper on each bite and putting spicy soy sauce-vinegar mix inside is so satisfying. You can eat this on its own or with rice.

Sin Heng Kee Porridge

ABBEY: I thought nothing will beat my go-to porridge at Kovan but I was wrong when I got to taste a bowl at Sin Heng Kee. I got Signature Porridge for SGD5. 

It has minced pork, sliced pork, liver, cuttle fish, pork intestines, and century egg. Yeah that is a mouthful. Every scoop is delicious and full of flavor. Perfect for a rainy afternoon. 

This is recommended. The queue is never ending. We also ordered a takeaway. Haha.

WILL: Declaring that I ate the best porridge in Singapore! Then, Ma'am Tammy presented a contender.. The Sin Heng Kee. 

Ma'am Tammy gave us the address which is just steps away from her residence. Amazed that this porridge occupied one whole store. At wee hour of 430pm there are people coming non-stop to queue for take-away and the numbers of tables are half occupied too. 

I ordered Pork Porridge. The aroma of porridge is so strong that you want to eat it all in one gulp. BUT you can't. Be careful! It is hot! Have you eaten at Tim Ho Wan? This is the "hawker-style" and hawker price. The rice seems well-boiled, you do not need to chew the rice. Haha! The pork is tender. Love it!

So, please! Go and visit Sin Heng Kee.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - IMAX 3D at Shaw Waterway Point IMAX 3D

Abbey: 2018 is the 10th year of Marvel Cinematic Universe and they released Avengers Infinity War. This is where all the Marvel Superheroes, who had their stories told in the silverscreen in the past ten years, joined together to fight Thanos.

We watched it on IMAX 3D and it was superb. It is as if you’re there at the scene and you can really feel the action. I do recommend it.

The punchlines really kill the seriousnes of the scenes in a fun way. Haha. As the story unfolds, I’m also in the same boat with the Avengers to beat Thanos. That guy is strong and powerful; that’s why prepare for the loss”es”. Yes with “es”.

Don’t forget to wait for the end credits. And check your pagers.

WILL: Huh?! You haven’t seen the Infinity War yet? OMG! You are missing the movie of the year! My gosh! Excuse me DC fans! Admit it! Marvel is doing great! Haha! 

I can't say anything bad in the movie. 100/100! It is perfect specially if you saw it in 3D IMAX! You can feel you are part of the scene. If I’ll be asked if I will watch this in a digital? No! Never! 

Eeeee, 2019 is exciting!

Xiang Rui Zhou Pin 祥瑞粥品 - One of the BEST Porridge

ABBEY: Wilma introduced this porridge to me when the stall is still at Tanjong Pagar. We buy it every morning. Haha. Somehow the Tanjong Pagar hawker center was renovated and it was closed. Her colleague told her that it has a branch at Kovan. I searched for it and found it. Now it is closer to our home. 

A bowl starts at 3.50SGD with pork slices, century egg and youtiao. It was delicious. The taste is right; no need for condiments. They also have chicken, frog and minced pork. 

This is a must-try. Expect queue as well.

WILL: Every lunch we are requesting to one of our colleague to buy a bowl of this porridge. And it is a mile away. Haha! Not always, they are in the mood to walk that far. In luck, they have a branch at Kovan  

Abbey, always craved for its taste and sometimes after his night shift he will buy some of those for breakfast. Of course you are not intrigued of its taste, for sure it is tasty unlike other porridge that taste water haha! 

Umami flavour enveloped that porridge. Not just water and rice. The pork and century egg merged to satisfaction! Buy an extra fried dough, and soak it to your  porridge to soften! Yummy! 

With this, who will say porridge is a meal for a sick man?

Honey Garlic Sriracha Chicken

VERDICT
WILL: Abbey and I saw a youtube channel that interviews people while eating chicken wings coated with chili sauce. 

Drooling on their every bite, I requested Abbey to do a Honey Garlic Sriracha Chicken for our dinner. 

The crispiness and spiciness is totally bombastic in our tastebuds! Lovely! Who will count on cholesterol if the chicken's skin will be the most important part! Haha! 

Next time, I think I can endure the next spiciness level!
