ABBEY: What do you do if your wife tells you everyday for a week that she wants scones? Well, try to look for one. And make sure it taste good. I happened to stumble upon Humble Bakery. The catch is you need to place your order before 12 noon to get your pastries the next day. I didn’t waste time to put my box of scones in the queue. I’m happy about the presentation; they have a note saying to enjoy it and it is my box of happiness. Little did they know that it was my wife they made happy. The scones are not too dense. Perfect for tea or coffee.I like the original one and strawberry cream cheese.  Less than SGD 23.90 for six cones. Grab yours! Humble Bakery's Scones WILL:  As what my husband always tell to people, Wilma will always opt to have bread than rice. Haha! Well, pastries are considered bread? Right? And scones is not exempted from my cravings. But the problem is, not all bakeries/cafes are offering scones luckily Abbey found Humble Bakery. I waited for days for us t...

ABBEY: We were looking for prawn noodles and we saw a post about One Prawn and Co. Next thing we know we’re already on a queue on their shop. We were told it’s a 45-minute wait by the time we arrived but we got our table a little more than 30 minutes. The server even proudly asked if it’s earlier than she estimated. Haha.  We had Lala and Small Prawns as well as Braised Pork Ribs and Small Prawns. Good things come for those who wait. The soup is delicious, full of flavours but not thick. You can taste the distinction between the pork and seashells. The spicy sauce is not too hot and is also sweet. We also had prawn beansprout cake and liver roll. One Prawn and Co Noodle - MacPherson  WILL:  Our go to pork and prawn noodle house suddenly serves slimy prawns. We really do avoid those because it might trigger Abbey’s seafood allergies. So when we saw a post about One Prawn & Co, we didn’t hesitate and immediately look what bus should we ride to get there. It i...

ABBEY: Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf offers breakfast sets. And the good thing is they opened a branch near our place. One set costs 8.90 SGD but pay for 10.90 SGD and you get a pair.  The sandwiches are of different types but what we like the most is the 9-grain egg mayo. It is soft and fluffy; perfect for the egg mayo filling. The set comes with 8 oz oat milk latte and we asked them to make it extra hot. A good way to start a day! The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Singapore - Weekdays Breakfast Set - BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Omelette with Oat Milk Latte The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Singapore - Weekdays Breakfast Set - 9-Grains Egg Mayo Sandwich and Oat Milk Latte WILL:  The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is making wave on breakfast scene here in Singapore. $5 is a significant price for most of the food chains and CBTL is embracing it. Almost monthly since last year they came up with different pairings of their lattes and sandwiches.  Of all the pairings, my favourite is 9-Grains ...

ABBEY: Flash Coffee campaign is all over socmed. They are the ones with bright yellow and red logo. I decided to try it. They gave free coffees as well as discounted ones. The prices I can say is between hawkers and known coffee companies. They have the usual: americano, cappuccino, latte. But they also have signatures like Melaka/Macadamia/Nutella Latte, Espresso Soda and Milo Espresso Shake.  Each cup I got is having full body flavor and satisfy my craving for a dose of caffeine. They also offer free delivery on Fridays (as of this writing) but unfortunately the closest Flash Coffee branch to us is outside the delivery range.  Flash Coffee Singapore - Affordable Specialty Coffee in Asia WILL:  Flash coffee stalls are like mushrooms, they can be seen almost everywhere nowadays. Their marketing is to have a barista-curated drinks in a hawker-like price. Abbey is a huge fan of coffee and it causes his curiosity to rise.  Our first dose of Flash Coffee is at their Cit...

ABBEY: We went to Pasir Ris Central Hawker Center to taste a bowl of Reimondo Seafood Congee. And it didn’t disappoint. For 6.90 SGD you can have a large serving of congee with scallop, prawn and seafood. It is full of flavor and gives you that homey feel for every scoop. A comfort food indeed. The story behind the stall is also an inspiration. Hard things in life come by but you have to persevere to get through it.  Reimondo Seafood Congee - Pasir Ris Hawker Centre WILL:  Pasir Ris residents are so lucky to have Reimondo Seafood Congee. They are located in the 2nd floor of Pasir Ris Hawker Centre. Why lucky? We still need to travel to have this unusual porridge. You know…the typical congee is using pork. Seafood Congee should branch out hehe.  The taste is of course delicious. The rice is boiled enough that you can hardly distinguish the rice grains and you will taste that the rice is not only boiled in water. It is definitely boiled with seafood! The seafood congee con...

ABBEY: Another food gem that we found is First Street Teochew Fish Soup. It opens from 8:15AM to 3PM only. Always expect a queue. And for a food stall to have a queue, you know that their items are good. You can choose between rice or noodles for your soup. Their serving of mixed seafood soup is large, delicious and flavorful. They also have batang , pomfret, and snakehead. First Street Teochew Fish Soup - First Branch in Kovan  WILL:  It is always raining nowadays and all we need is a good warm soup that will comfort us on a cold lunchtime. Luckily we are near to one of the most well-known fish soup in Kovan, that is First Street Teochew Fish Soup. Breakfast or lunchtime, be ready to queue for a minimum of 30mins.  So what is the taste? Of course it is delicious! You will know that the fish was boiled for hours that causes their soup’s saltiness were naturally from the fish. They offer different kinds of fish here but I always love to have Mackerel Fish Soup w...

ABBEY: I lost count of how many times we went to All About Chicken Lucky Plaza. They have so many choices for chicken flavours. But what I like the most is the Inasal as well as the original fried chicken. The marinade permeated to the meat; the smokiness and char from the grill is there. Dip it in spicy soy sauce with calamansi and get a spoonful of rice with chicken oil and you are in for a treat. With fried chicken it is crispy and juicy. The fries that comes with it can be replaced by rice.  Maybe I’ll try chicken teriyaki next time. Max's All About Chicken Singapore - Your Philippine Inasal Now in Singapore WILL:  I have found my new favourite fried and grill chicken place! All About Chicken located in Lucky Plaza Basement 1. Yes! This shop is all about chicken rice and they have 8 kinds of flavours. What is the best? They are Chicken Inasal and American Classic Fried Chicken.  Chicken Inasal is famous from the province of Bacolod Philippines. This grilled chicken w...
