ABBEY: I won a staycation from a work challenge and it is at ParkRoyal Collection Pickering. It is for 2D1N stay at their club room and includes access to their club lounge. Check-in is at 3PM but we got our room ready by 12:30PM. Once we settled our things in the room, we put on our swimwear and hit the pool. It was refreshing. After a few laps and couples of minutes in the pool jet we went back to our room and prepare for afternoon tea. They have scones and siew mai which we were craving for. We went to their Urban Garden that showcases different plants and herbs.  The building is full of greenery. Ample lights enter the rooms as the windows are not tinted. And if you need to hydrate you can always get a glass from their filtered water faucet.  The cocktails started at 6PM and we lounged there until closing. The beer and beef chilli were perfect partners. We also had smoked salmon, cold cuts and cheese. A great way to wrap up the day. As the next day started, we headed down...

ABBEY: We’ve been craving lechon for a long time so we headed to Don Lechon (Grandlink Square). We got an order of chopped lechon and lechon sisig each. Literally after a couple of minutes they’re already in our table.  How did it fare? It was great. It seems we were in Pinas. The pork is tender and went well with the sweet sauce. And sisig has crunchy bits, creamy and tangy. Craving. Satisfied! Until next time. Don Lechon at Paya Lebar - Authentic Filipino Lechon (Roasted Suckling Pig) WILL:  Lechon is the highlight of every occasion in the Philippines and that is the reason why on a month long celebration of my birthday, I requested Abbey to have a dinner in Don Lechon. Yeyyy!  You may tell that they are on a pricey side for a rice meal but their lechon serving is generous! You could ask for another rice for it. Haha. Delightfuly good! There’s a good proportion of fat and meat, the soy sauce with kalamansi dip is perfect! Delicious!!!  Recommended and will truly c...

ABBEY: There’s only one item we want from Bread Street Kitchen: Beef Wellington. The item is right at the center of the menu. You definitely can’t miss it.  We ordered it immediately as we sat down as the waiting time is 45 minutes minimum. While waiting, we got ourselves a huge serving of fries. Then the golden brown log of beef arrived.  We paced as we eat and savor the beef. It was tender and juicy. Worth the wait and highly recommended. Cost: SGD168++.  Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington at Bread Street Kitchen Singapore - S$168++ Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington at Bread Street Kitchen Singapore WILL:  I have tasted this dish when we were invited over by Abbey’s Boss for a dinner. As a fan of breads and pastries I somewhat got curious how the tagged as the best beef Wellington tasted. So on my birthday, being spontaneous, we walked-in at  Bread Street Kitchen  and ordered the famous dish.  We waited for almost an hour (yep they warned us) and while w...

ABBEY: I became curious what Tanjong Beach Club offers when we passed by it as we stroll along the beach. Wilma booked for a cabana-style outside bed in front of the pool for S$100(10am to 2pm). But we didn’t pass up the chance to get our Vitamin “sea”.  Few moments after we were back at the pool enjoying our truffle fries, calamari, sourdough bread, sautéed mushrooms, smoked salmon, and pork sausage. It was a feast under the sun. And speaking of sun, we beat the heat with a pitcher of sangria and free flow of sparkling water. Perfect time to catch up. Hidden Gem of Sentosa Singapore - Tanjong Beach Club Hidden Gem of Sentosa Singapore - Tanjong Beach Club Breakfast Meal WILL:  It is my 40th birthday and all I want is to tick off some of my to-do or wishes on my birthday month. One of those is to swim in Sentosa Island and experience to book a pool bed in Tanjong Beach Club. Lame? Well, cares? I am too old to care! Haha!   We were at Tanjong Beach Club earlier ...

ABBEY: They say Luckin Coffee is China’s version of Starbucks. It’s offering SGD 0.99 for your first cup of coffee. And it comes with other vouchers from 50% up to 40% off on your cups. Referring a friend will give you another 99-cent coffee. I tried Vanilla Flavored Creamy Latte. It was smooth, hot, sweet and right amount of bitterness. The same goes to Coconut Velvet Latte and Dark Brown Sugar Velvet Latte. They differ in the type of sweetener. I also had their Single Origin Espresso (SOE) series Yirgacheffe and Hambella in flat white without added syrup.  Order via the app and have it delivered or pick up. Never had to wait for a long time to get my order. Try their coffee offerings as alternative for your usual cups. Luckin coffee, the "Starbucks of China" -- HIGH QUALITY ARABICA BEANS WILL:  Can I say that Abbey is coffee addict? Yep! Not enthusiast but he is totally addicted to it. Haha! So whenever there’s a new cafe or coffee concoction that pops, he dearly n...
