FREE and RELAX Sailing Adventure in Singapore🇸🇬 Setting Sail with DBS Bank / How to book DBS Sailing

ABBEY: Sailing at Marina Bay, let’s go! You will be transferred by some kind of dingy boat to the sail boat. 

We were aboard a bigger boat this time. It took a couple of minutes before we caught wind and the skipper used this to explain to us the safety protocol and assure all of us that it won’t capsize. However he told us that this is not “really” sailing as we won’t get wet. Haha. It’s good to cruise in Marina Bay; you’ll get different view of the Singapore skyline. We were also given the opportunity to put the sail up (it was hardwork) and not only that but also to be a helmsman. 

Imagine steering the wheel of the boat. Wow! Don’t worry it is fun and you’ll be guided. Until next sailing!

PHS HAIRSCIENCE® Singapore🇸🇬 | Scalp and Hair Loss Care and Treatment Review, Promotion & Freebies

ABBEY: I do have a case of thining hair at the crown. Can be hereditary as this was the same with my uncles. The best that I can do is to give more care to it.

We went to PHS Hairscience at Wheelock Place and gave my head the treatment it deserves. I got the Signature renew scalp treatment. My scalp was assessed and it was oily and have patches of dirt. Haha. Next step is shampoo. I can’t believe you can shampoo that many times. You get that cooling effect from the menthol. A serum was jet-sprayed to my scalp for better absorption. On the next visit (yes I came back a second time), a balloon-like contraption was put over my head and the serum is applied this time by steam.

Both sessions are rejuvenating and you can feel that all is clean up there. We bought shampoos and tonic to keep the scalp and hair healthy.

PHS HAIRSCIENCE®  Singapore🇸🇬 | Scalp and Hair Loss Care and Treatment Review, Promotion & Freebies

WILL: If something is hereditary and the signs of those are already manifesting will you wait for it to fully take its course? Well for us, specially me, I want to delay the grey hairs and thankfully PHS is there to help. This will be Abbey’s second year using their products and I was given an anti-ageing treatment.

The anti-ageing scalp treatment only took 1-hour from me. That hour consisted of few times of bubbly-cooling shampoo, head massage, scalp treatment application and blow dry. The PHS HAIRSCIENCE Wheelock is clean, the staffs are lively and you will feel that they really caring about your mane and not just to sell any product. Our hair specialist knew everything about our scalp and its progress. 

Splurging in this kind of treatments is not a waste of time. It is a MUST to take care of yourself. See you again PHS HAIRSCIENCE!

Panthére de Cartier - BEST CARTIER PIECE | Singapore 🇸🇬 First-ever Cartier Into The Wild Experience

ABBEY: The Cartier’s Into the Wild experience was held at Bayfront Pavilion, Gardens by the Bay. It was a guided tour where you can see how the Cartier Pathere unfolded and evolved. 

Three concepts; naturalist, abstract and graphic were displayed. The process it takes for a single piece of jewelry takes so much time and passed to different artisan. Now I knew how those spots are placed specially the eyes as they require time, skill and precision.

At the end of the tour you can relax while you sip your coffee, tea or juice and take a snap with the panther to take home with you.

Panthére de Cartier - BEST CARTIER PIECE | Singapore 🇸🇬 First-ever Cartier Into The Wild Experience

WILL: We experienced first hand how important the customers’ feeling for Cartier. They treated everyone like their VIPs. They got us hooked-up by that. 

Cartier’s Into the Wild Experience is pretty immersive. You will be greeted with a poem by a famous Ah Boys To Men lead actor. Then touching the historic and birth of PANTHÈRE DE CARTIER. They gave us the three impressions of the design: Graphic, Naturalist and Abstract. These are the ways of Cartier for a greater customer conversion rate and they are successful with that. Cartier have three two-storey stores in Singapore and the most prominent is their Ion Orchard Boutique. 

VIP or not, they will treat you like a royalty! Book your visit now.

Authentic Hermès Bookmark for FREE - Trained by Hermès Artisan Hermès in the Making Exhibit

ABBEY: This is the third Hermes exhibition we attended. But this one really showcased how the products are sourced and be made in to an art. 

I related to the silk screen of the scarves as I did that process back in the days. And they’re doing it large scale and with help of machines. We also saw the ceramic paintings, hand gloves and saddles. They even offer how to stitch and create your own bookmark. And boy, that is no joke but fun. 

The time spent on every product is remarkable. 

Authentic Hermès Bookmark for FREE - Trained by Hermès Artisan Hermès in the Making Exhibit

WILL: This will be our third time to attend an Hermes Exhibit. First was held in Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, second was in ArtScience Museum and the most recent was at Marina Bay Sands Events Plaza. 

Of all, this is one of the most hands-on! We got the chance to mount a Hermes Saddle, color a scarf design, and the limited Hermes-Bookmark sewing session. The artisans are all from France and some of them need English translators. We enjoyed every second of it and we were there for two hours curiously observing.

Thank you Hermes for the experience. Definitely will always be in my mind that someday I will own something from your brand.

ALL YOU CAN EAT Italian Burrata, Mozzarella with Truffles and Porchetta | Luxury Buffet in Singapore

ABBEY: We have a mission coming to this restaurant at Regent Hotel. Basilico offers a buffet of cheese. And not just cheese; we’re talking of burrata, fresh mozzarella and with truffle. And they didn’t disappoint even though the burrata is not that gooey or runny. But still they’re creamy, bouncy and delicious. I ate them with artichoke, cherry tomatoes and asparagus.

Along with that they also have pecorino, piemonte and asiago cheese as well as cold cuts like mortadella and salami and salad.

For hot food we got porchetta, honey glazed chicken, baked salmon, grilled chicken and beef stew. Pasta like pesto, spaghetti with squid ink and beef lasagna are also available.

And to wrap we have a couple scoops of vanilla and chocolate gelato and pralines. 

ALL YOU CAN EAT Italian Burrata, Mozzarella with Truffles and Porchetta | Luxury Buffet in Singapore

WILL: We watched a travel show that showcased how an Italian farm makes burrata cheese and it hit us hugely that we went out to look in Singapore and we found a restaurant specialising in fresh burrata every day. Sadly, they didn’t survive the pandemic era. Gladly, we found another restaurant.

Basilico in Regent Hotel serves not only burrata but an array of delectable cheese! We were there for cheese so once we got our seats, we straight away took cheese, meats, cracker and nuts. Yep! We made ourselves a charcuterie in an instant. Wine please! Haha! We stayed a little bit longer than everyone (as usual) because I want to settle down the main courses in my stomach for desserts but is is a shocker when they serve porchetta. Of course I took some of those! Don’t forget to taste their vanilla gelato and praline. 

Very recommendable for Italian cusine buffs. You might strike a conversation too with their Italian Chefs.

BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE SHOP AND FAMOUS CAFE IN SINGAPORE - The Awfully Chocolate Bakery & Cafe

ABBEY: We visited The Awfully Chocolate Bakery and Cafe at Katong. This is their flagship store and we came for brunch. I had their Breakfast Plate that comes with bratwurst, scrambled eggs, pancetta, tomato and arugula and croissant. 

The eggs are creamy and went well with the croissant and bratwurst. I washed them down with classic dark hot chocolate. While eating we keep on seeing orders of cake slices going out. We can’t help but to order their all chocolate cake with scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh cream and we weren’t wrong. The cake is decadent and delicious. 

What you see is what you eat and taste. I also saw the rich chocolate flowing from the tap. Should I try that too? Haha.

BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE SHOP AND FAMOUS CAFE IN SINGAPORE - The Awfully Chocolate Bakery & Cafe

WILL: Awfully Chocolate is one of the finest/high level bake shop here in Singapore. They are a local bakeshop that expertize in making chocolate cakes and other chocolate products. Recently they expanded to offer hot meals and as we want to explore Tanjong Katong site, we chopped by to their flagship store. 

It’s late lunch and I ordered Eggs Benedict for SGD18. I am famished that time and because it is delicious too, I only shared one bite with Abbey. I am there because I am craving for chocolate cake and their signature cake with cream and ice cream answers my taste buds' longing of chocalate that us not too sweet and bitter! 

Awfully Chocolate’s Cake is indeed one of the best gift you can give to any celebration. Totally recommended not only for locals but a line of products to be proud and shared globally!

Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen - Ayala Malls Vertis North

ABBEY: We’re looking for a place to catch up with our nephews and nieces and Mama Lou’s provided just that. We talked about their careers and lovelife over dinner. 

We got two pizzas (spinach and goat cheese and pepperoni), three pasta (Vesuvio, ravioli spinach, and truffle) and fried chicken. I recommend Vesuvio not only with the beautiful presentation but also with flavor and the kick at every scoop. The raviolis are creamy and the chicken is crispy and juicy. As with the pizza they are good; dough and toppings-wise. Good thing we went there early before a long queue built up.

Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen - Ayala Malls Vertis North 

WILL: Trinoma is just unlikely to be the same as before. It feels that the mall is gloomy and lost it glory. It is crowded too! Luckily I found Vertis North Mall that housed many new restaurants like Mama Lou’s. 

We waited 30mins to have a seat and immediately order the things that appetized my eyes. For pizza we had Pepperoni and pizza with goat cheese. For pasta we had Vesuvio, Lucio’s Truffle Pasta and Ravioli Spinach. We also had a basket of Fried Chicken. Amongst all, we ordered Quattro Formaggi and Vesuvio! The pizza tastes nearing in blue cheese side. The Vesuvio’s pasta is perfectly standing in a bath of sauce! 

Delighted we chose to dine and have a catch-up with my nephews and nieces here in Mama Lou’s! It not only offered us a good food but a homey feeling too!
