We'll Tell You - A&W Couple's Blog

ABBEY: This wine is sweet and alcohol level is within my preference. Good to pair with meat as well as your chips for a midnight snack. Stone Barn Zinfandel Rose - California 2011 WILL:  There'll be a time that you you will miss the taste of wine. Or maybe you are in a celebratory mood or you just like to feel drunk. Haha.  When Abbey and I went to Fairprice. There's an array of dicounted wines. We do not know what to choose but all we need is with a sweet kick. Gladly, Abbey downloaded and app and helped us to choose what bottle we should go for. Tadannnnn! Stone Barn 2011. A seven year old bottle.  It is not expensive. It only cost us a SGD18.40. It is enticingly red and the sweetness suited Abbey's taste. Don't wonder if he is the one who finished it up. Haha!  'Till our next wine drinking session! 

ABBEY: Avillion is a newly-opened hotel at Cameron Highlands and we’re glad they accommodated us for a night stay on a discounted price.  We got a spacious room with a large bed, a bathtub and the works. I like how soft their pillows are and I got a good night sleep.  It also included breakfast for each guest; kway teow, porridge, fried rice, eggs, sausage and toast.  There are nearby establishments in the hotel like bar, grocery, money changer and restaurant where we ordered our pizza for late night snack.  The bus terminal going to Kuala Lumpur is a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Avillion Cameron Highlands Malaysia WILL:  In Cameron Highlands, the famous choices will be Strawberry Park Resort or Heritage Hotel or Copthorne Hotel . I always pick out a new hotel/hostel and because we are lucky and blessed, haha!, we found Avillion Cameron Highlands.  Avillion is a newly built hotel that runs a 50% off promotion. For only S$82.11...

ABBEY: Mossy Forest Make sure to prepare for climbing flight of steps as you traverse the path of Mossy Forest. Neat boardwalks are in place but wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Nature really provides cure for us. Our tour guide showed us plants to give relief from headache, stomach pains, and even for survival if you become lost in the forest. The loud “music” of cicadas will definitely catch your attention.  BOH Tea Plantation Ever wonder how white, brown and black teas were made? Well, they all come from the same plant but different parts were used or only different process is being applied. The tea look like a giant blanket that covers the mountain slopes and land. We also went to their BOH Tea Centre - Sungei Palas where we got to taste the nasi lemak and chendol cheesecakes. The former is not recommended as it is only a hype. But the chendol cheesecake is good for a try. You can sip tea as you enjoy the nature around you. Cameron Lavender No tour include...

ABBEY: We booked our night-rider Cameron Highland-bound bus at One Travel and Tours Bus (Golden Mile Complex). Be there on time and approach the counter to confirm the bus arrival. They gave us bottled water and then we boarded the bus.  We’re seated at the upper deck. The bus has nice smell but I’ve seen a small cockroach near my window.  We stopped at Kuala Lumpur for other passengers to alight and then headed to mountains. :) We reached at 9AM. The One Travel & Tours Bus - Singapore to Cameron Highlands WILL: 10mins before your departure is just fine. Do not be like us, we waited there for almost half an hour standing and waiting for the bus to arrive. Print out your ticket, on that the counter will write down your seat designation and hand out your free bottled water.  At the bus, it is clean. Aha! The seat is reclining and enough space for my legs. I slept peacefully on our journey. I feel comfy and somewhat never bitten by any bugs...

ABBEY: We visited NEM Blockchain Centre at Kuala Lumpur. It has massive space for hosting 100+ people events, project incubators, boardrooms  meetings, teleconferences, and even a nap room when you get tired.  It also functions as a co-working space for other startup/blockchain enthusiasts. We were also fortunate to meet one of the NEM advisors, then president, Lon Wong.  Our visit was worth the while as we’re accompanied by NEM Malaysia team; Lance, Shin Tatt, Leroy, Anthony, and Sharmilla. Thanks guys. WILL:  Do you know that NEM is one of the friendliest blockchain community you will ever find? Well, how did I know? They accepted me. Hahaha! I am a volunteer in NEM and we need to learn more about the advocacy of the Foundation and deep dive with the technology itself. And on that, we visited the NEM Blockchain Center located at Kuala Lumpur.  Got trained technically (still scratching the surface haha) and we witnessed the day in and day ...

ABBEY: And Wade Wilson is back. Funnier and “gorier”. This man can never shut his mouth. Be ready for all his talkings. He wanted to start a family. Unfortunately he need to go to a great ordeal to get that after pissing off his enemies. There couldn’t have been a friction between him and Cable if it were not for the horizontally-challenged kid with fiery hands.  The movie has stories of love (yes, love) and hate,  friendship, repentance, forgiveness and hope. Who knows that Deadpool can deliver that?  Definitely not for kids. Deadpool 2 (2018) at Shaw Theatres Waterway Punggol WILL:  Abbey dragged me to watch Deadpool 2. Hahaha! Well.. we didn’t waste money on this movie.  One is sexually intense but this Deadpool 2 is quite more of "love", self-seeking and helping others for betterment of the future world and mutant. Seems a prequel to upcoming collaboration with other mutants.  Yes! We did not wasted money on this. A good-feel mov...

ABBEY: We recently got to know that there is food stall at Punggol that serves good Hokkien Mee. For just SGD4, you can have a plate of freshly cooked noodles.  It is semi-creamy/semi-runny and has a smokey flavor; reminds me of the lomi noodles from Philippines. Now I have more options when I get hungry. 218 Zhong Xin Hokkien Mee Punggol 218 Zhong Xin Hokkien Mee Punggol Kway Teow 218 Zhong Xin Hokkien Mee Punggol Hokkien Mee  WILL:  It is nice to know that there are good hawkers around Sengkang and Punggol and it is easy to go because of the bike sharing that we can rent anytime. This time, we went for a cycle to discover the 218 Hokkien Mee.  The taste somewhat outstands the others. It has a smokey taste and the chili (dedicated for oyster cake) is excitingly complements the noodles we are munching.  This is a must to check for Punggol residents. Till our next hawker pigging out! *** 218 Zhong Xin Hokkien Mee (F)...

Stir-Fried Chicken With Bell Peppers VERDICT ABBEY : This is a simple sautéed dish. But don’t be fooled. The flavor is awesome. I didn’t know that bell peppers can bring lots of flavor and make a dish delicious.  Serve with hot rice and you’re good to go.
