ABBEY: Yey, another pedicure for my tired feet. This time we went to Nail Social. The place is at a cozy upper room near Bugis MRT.  From the time we stepped in I knew it will be a relaxing session. And yes it was! The nail technician pampered my feet with scrub and massage and really cleaned my nails. Then finished them off with glossy-shine buff. By the way they did these all quietly and without talking to other workers; which is plus for me. Total peace. And by the way they don’t hard sell. Haha.  Be sure to make appointment and include all you want to be done with your precious nails both hands and feet as we got turned down for a manicure due to full schedule which is understandable.  WILL:  Isn’t quite disturbing of your nail attendant is bothering you to push extra services on your supposedly “relaxation day”? Well it doesn’t happen on The Nail Social. Kudos to that and congratulations to us for a having a peaceful me-time.  Nail Social is located at Haji...

ABBEY: We have our plans laid out for my natal day. But Melt Cafe (Mandarin Oriental) sent me a mail with greetings and a gift; 1 for 1 dining for lunch or dinner. So I said let’s go. Good decision! It’s raining lobsters there. A seafood platter (lobster, prawns, mussels) will be served upon your sitting. That’s just the beginning. Move over allergies. I even ordered a plate of lobsters only and make my own lobster roll with fried mantou, butter and garlic. Hahaha. I went multiple times to the grill station for beef, scallops and oysters to satisfy my char cravings. Then I moved to the hot foods like chicken and vegatable tandoori with basmati rice and braised pork. For dessert, I love the combination of vanilla and chocolate ice creams; and also a plateful of watermelon. I brought home my complimentary birthday cake. There’s no room for it. Haha.  WILL:  Abbey was blessed by The Dining Society on his birthday month. He teceived an email that he get a FREE buffet of his choic...

ABBEY: At last we set foot at Beach Road Kitchen. We had our buffet lunch courtesy of the November birthday celebrators.  I indulged in grilled beef ribs, pork belly, and ham. I think I had three to four servings. They are really that delicious. They have chicken tandoori but not that much appealing to me. Their prawns are fresh as well as the sashimi. I also had the “Impossible” beef bolognese; you won’t notice that there’s no beef in it. Creamy and beefy-licious.  We were also given our piece of cake with cappuccino. The staffs are attentive and friendly. WILL:  You must meet your good friends in a good restaurant, right? So why not meet them for a buffet lunch at Beach Road Kitchen located at JW Marriott.  What’s the difference of this restaurant to others? They have this concept of Chefs-on-Show. Beach Toad Kitchen showcases live stations for your food. It is well guaranteed that it is freshly cooked and just out of the stove or grill. The restaurant’s ambiance ...
