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

ABBEY: I got sick almost the whole month of June. I look for ways how to reset my system and build my immune system again. Surprisingly, most write ups recommend to drink tea. Next thing I know, I’m shopping loose tea combinations at Scoop (Tanglin Mall). I got one for sleep, immunity and relaxation. At first I thought I would not like the taste but I was wrong. With mixture of tea leaves, lavender, spearmint, rose petals and many more, I really enjoyed drinking it and helped me a lot to become better again.  Plus they don’t have that burnt taste even when soaked for a long time. We will come back and try the other tea blends.

Aside from Kombucha and Steel Cut Oats we also found loose tea here.   I am not...

ABBEY: I once saw this type of oats in the supermarket. And to feed my curiosity I bought a couple hundred of grams of steel cut oats at Scoop. As I’ve seen online, you put 2 1/2 cups of water to every cup of oats. But still depends on your preference. The cooking time is more compared to rolled oats but you will see, taste and feel the difference one you eat it. The steel cut oat has more texture and grainy flavor. I’ll prefer this over other types of oats as it is less processed. Steel Cut Oats of Scoop Wholefoods Singapore WILL:  We found out that instant oats is the most processed type of oat. Well it makes sense, it is like an instant food. Haha! We  searched  for the least processed and that is steel cut oats which we found in Scoop At Tanglin Mall.   What’s the difference? It has a bite! It has a chewy texture and it doesn’t absorb too much water which is my liking. After few hours, you will feel that the  fibre  worked inside your b...

ABBEY: Kombucha became a buzzword in the healthy lifestyle world and we got curious what it taste like. Scoop (Tanglin Mall) is selling kombucha and we tried it. For 19.50SGD (yes, it is that pricey), we took home a liter of their original kombucha concoction.  Kombucha is as fermented, sweetened (by sugar) black or green tea. It tastes sour and a bit of sweetness. Another version of kombucha is jun which uses honey as sweetener. And yes the price goes up as it is honey for as much as 30SGD per liter. Kombucha by Scoop Wholefoods WILL:  I am a fanatic of teas and Abbey is always game to try new things that may benefit our health. Oh one more thing, he is more updated than me on new things on social media. So, he is really excited to see Scoop and what they offer.   One of the products they have is Kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented tea. It has organisms that will help your digestion.  How was it? Of course it taste like tea but it smells like beer...

ABBEY: Yey, another pastry shop at Waterway Point. They are giving away devil cheese buns on their opening day.  A cheese bun costs SGD5.80 and we tried the original as well as the chocoloate. I prefer the former. It taste milky; like the powder type. I remember the days scooping a spoonful of milk and enjoy the milk powder.  We also bought kissling for SGD8.80. Now that is I think expensive; not that buttery nor flaky. It will be left in the dust by Tiong Bahru Bakery’s.  Guschlbauer Singapore | Austrian Bakery Cheese Bun Tiramisu Guschlbauer Singapore | Austrian Bakery Cheese Bun Original Guschlbauer Singapore | Austrian Bakery Kissling  Guschlbauer Singapore | Austrian Bakery Waterway Point  WILL: As usual Facebook is one of the culprit. Haha! I saw a post that they will be having a giveaway for for three days. Sad thing is that we do not have the time to queue.  Solution? Abbey bought it when we have the time. Sad. Not ...

ABBEY: From time to time we also try new chips while watching TV series. Here are some of them: Popcorners This has the texture of popcorn but in a form or triangular chip. Taste like popcorn but your mind will be confused with the appearance. We tried their cheesy Jalapeño and it was good. Thins If you’re looking for sour-cream or salt flavor chips aside from Ruffles and Lays, this is a good alternative. The chips are thin as the name implies. Easy to chew and has the burnt taste. Bluebird Sea Salt Cold Storage is the only grocery we see that this is being sold. It is nice to go back to the basics of potato chips. Slices of potato with salt. Good partner with soda. Way Better Snack These tortilla chips might be way better compared to others because of their flavors. We tried their sweet chilli flavor and simply spicy sriracha. Those are new flavors for our taste buds and definitely buy them again. Rgies Iloilo This sweet treat is from one of the prov...

ABBEY: We planned to have a drink while watching Billions TV series. We bought two 220ml bottles of Brown Brother Moscato. It looks like it has cork but it’s not. You can just twist it open.  It is a sparkling wine. It is sweet and I like it because it doesn’t have a strong taste and aftertaste of alcohol. Then why am I drinking wine? Haha. I think this is the kind of wine I can tolerate. WILL:  I want to drink a wine for almost a month ago. I am looking for a good sweet moscato that has a cap not a cork. Why? Abbey is not fond of drinking alcoholic beverages. I can't finish one bottle at once.  At Cold Storage (Raffles City), before heading to meet a person from Unilever Network, we stumbled upon this tiny bottle of moscato wine from Australia. The Brown Brothers. We saw 2 variety of a sparkling wine and Abbey decided to buy the two.  This is my second time to saw Abbey appreciate wine. He gulped his Vintage Moscato Sparkling straight from the bo...
