ABBEY: We were able to spend some time with Chat for April celebrations at Yummo Chow (Hotel NuVe Heritage). The restaurant is not too busy when we arrived half past 12 noon. I guess we’re the only guests that time. We looked at the menu and included pork ribs on our first order but unfortunately it was not available at the moment. We got teriyaki salmon, Australian sirloin and ribeye steaks, spam fries, french fries, mentaiko mayo prawn, and carbonara. The pastas (including our second order chilli crab) lack the flavor and got too much sauce. Our spam fries seems not to be Spam but other brand of luncheon meat but still good. I really liked the ribeye steaks, prawn, and pork satays (note that there are 5 sticks per order).  For the drinks, the staff recommended fresh watermelon and it didn’t disappoint; not too sweet or watery. No credit card payments but Grab and PayNow is accepted. WILL:  Another year has passed, and what better way to celebrate than with delicious food on...

ABBEY: Imagine going to a province and it’s fiesta. And you can eat as many times as you can. That’s the vibe at Konyo brunch. For SGD 19.9 we enjoyed the lunch platter which includes crackling bagnet, chicken-pork adobo, lumpiang shanghai, pancit canton, tilapia, rice, kangkong, talong and okra. Pair them with kamatis-sibuyas ensalada, spiced toyo-mansi and vinegar and bagoong and you’re set.  We opted selected items only for our second and third servings as we can’t finish another platter. Our Pinoy food cravings were satisfied. We even have kwentuhan (chitchat) with the staff.  Wash them all down with bulalo soup. Wow! Embark on a Flavorful Adventure with Konyo's "Kamayan sa Bukid in Singapore" Buffet! WILL:  Another month, another buffet. And to celebrate another milestone (Chat’s 15th anniversary in Singapore) we opted to try the pretty infamous Filipino buffet situated in Orchard. Ahmm yes, you have read it right, it is infamous due to some reviews we read in their...

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 lo...

ABBEY: We were looking for Pinoy cuisine and we found Guevarra’s. For Php699.00, you can have a delicious lunch buffet. They do have lechon, bacon bagnet, angus tapa, baby back ribs, chicken barbecue, laing, paella, caldereta, and chicken skin.  For dessert, you can enjoy choco pudding, halo halo, flan, and cakes. I keep coming for more lechon and baby back ribs; falls of the bone and melts in your mouth. Be sure to eat as much as you want. They are strict in sitting times as another batch will be served after you.  Only later we knew that Chef Laudico is a celebrity chef. Celebrity or not, the food is great. End of story. Haha.

ABBEY: I’ve been eyeing to go to The Armoury. It got delayed with the dining restrictions or full capacity. Lo and behold we got our spot and ready ourselves to the buffet feast.  I started with rib eye but somehow I got the part where all the tendons are. It got chewy instead of a tender meat. The strip loin and pork ribs are better. What I enjoyed the most is the grilled shabu beef. It is served in “mountains” and I had them twice. It is sweet and caramelized. We also had fried chicken which is crispy and spam fries (beware of the saltiness).  The chicken stay and peanut sauce is ok as well.  They have other items like baked beans, edamame, green salad, corn but hey I went there for the meat galore. Make sure you order before your last plate is empty else you have a food gap. Hahaha.   WILL:  Abbey is craving for MEAT! It is maybe due to our gym sessions that his body is now requiring him for more protein to build up the muscles (naks!). We heard of The Armo...

ABBEY: Video Review  WILL:  Yan Ting is one of the most awarded restaurant in Singapore. It is nestled at St. Regis hotel and because of that you will definitely receive tantamount ways of luxuries and being a VIP.  On our email correspondence, Restaurant Guest Relation used this phrase “As such, I personally remain at your disposal should you require any assistance.”, gosh, I feel like a master. Haha! Oh! I emailed not only for reservation but to let them know what we are celebrating. Because of that, Abbey was presented a thick round chocolate cake to make his 10th Year in Singapore extra special. Thanks Yat Thien and Jeanie.  Let’s go to the dumplings. If you are there for the dumplings, stick to it. Haha! There’s a pages of food that you will surely persuaded to order but...but...but consider your time. 2-hours of tasting all and determining what is the best will take those 2-hours. Haha. What food that hit to me most?  The Deep-fried ...

ABBEY: After our relaxing stay at Pegasus Boutique Hotel, we headed to Lime restaurant at ParkRoyal on Pickering to have lunch. We got 50% off thru eatigo.  I ate a lot of salmon sashimi and maki sushi. I also had cream dory, roasted beef, crispy fish skin, sweet and sour fish fillet, fried pork belly and chicken. What stood out is their braised beef. It taste like our “beef pares” back in Philippines. Unfortunately the only rice item on their buffet is the lotus leaf glutinous rice. If there would have been white rice then I’ll not leave the place :)  I also had a couple of merengue, ice cream and cheesecake.

We reserved seats at Lime Restaurant with 50% promotion at Eatigo. What's the catch? Devour the food you can in an hour.  What's t...

ABBEY: We remembered Mama’s 4th death anniversary at Wacko Grill (Sterling Square) along with her siblings and in-laws. Wacko Grill offers a buffet for 199Php per person.  They got siomai, lumpiang shanghai, chicken in creamy sauce, radish salad, java rice and desserts. The item that stands out in the menu is the fried belly then mix with kare-kare.  Drinks are not included and need to be paid separately. As it is Filipino food, they are delicious. It is a good time to catch up with our Titos and Titas.

Where is this restaurant located? The booming city of Sto Niño, Bulacan. A few kilometres away from NLEX Meycauayan exit. In this restaurant we celebrated the 4th year anniversary of Mama Sweet's soul to Almighty.  What you need to expect wit...

ABBEY: We went for our pre-Hearts' day date here at Spuds and Aprons (Faber Peak).  It was a lunch date. I was craving for laksa and good thing the menu is composed of local dishes. My eyes gleamed at the site of laksa though it is the dry-type, it is full of flavor; the spiciness and creaminess of coconut milk.  Then I indulged in bite-sized samosas and spring rolls. I also had a couple plates of Hainanese chicken rice; each with different sauce like chili, soy sauce and ginger.  They also have prawns, vegetables and steamed fish (the texture is almost like a pulp). The ambiance is great. It is on a high place with trees and good view of Sentosa and Harbourfront.  Don't forget to sound the Bell of Happiness. Lunch buffet is from noon to 2:30PM. Spuds & Aprons' Menu is inside of this video.  WILL:  So it is "Love" Month and everybody is going crazy what to do or what to give to their love ones. I am planning 2 dates for me and A...

ABBEY: This is where we have our New Year's day date, at Ban Heng Restaurant. It was lunch time. It was almost empty during our first visit, but come New Year's day, it was jam-packed and you can feel the festive spirit.  We indulged ourselves with serving of wanton in tom yam soup, dim sum, crispy fried chicken wings, spring rolls, fried mantou, shrimp rolled in crispy bean curd skin, fried fish fillet in sweet and sour sauce and the two best entrees for us: pork ribs and salted egg custard in steamed bun.  Wow, it was a feast for less than 25SGD per person. Drinks like tea, coffee, and juices are all bottomless. Ban Heng @ Harbourfront Centre - Dim Sum Lunch Buffet Menu is in this video =) WILL:  We are truly missing the dim sum at Banawe Avenue in Philippines and that is the main reason why we decided to splurge in different kind of buffet..Dim Sum buffet!  If you buy an ala-carte of those it will cost you a ton of money and as suggested b...

ABBEY: This is where we celebrated my 33rd birthday.  Equinox is located at the 70th storey of Swissotel (City Hall MRT). They have their own lift to carry their guest to the top. We had lunch there and it is a semi-buffet.  I went for sushi and sashimi on my first round. Then I was surprised by the beef chunks when I'm helping myself in a serving of beef soup. The beef is so soft that it melts in your mouth. No chewing needed :) I think I had 3 bowls of them.  Then I tried their crackers and cheese. For the main course (one time only as well as the coffee) I had slow-roasted pork belly. It is delicious. I enjoyed putting some Truffle and Cauliflower Emulsion sauce before having a bite.  We were given a table with the view of Marina Bay. But it was cloudy and foggy as it is raining during that time.  The staffs were polite and warm. They also gave me a cake for my birthday. Baked Norwegian Salmon Slow-Roasted Pork Belly WILL...

ABBEY : We went here for lunch buffet with Kuya Iking. The buffet is still being setup but they already ushered us to our table.  It was a seafood buffet and I reminded myself to be more cautious of the food. I think every dish that they can put shrimp into, they did. I had Hokien prawn mee and enjoyed it as I drizzle it with calamansi (palabok style). Also I got pasta, tuna and greek salads. Then I tried their tandoori lamb. It was delicious. For dessert I had chocolate and vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup. To settle it all, I went for coffee. The staff keeps looking at us as we're resting and they keep on asking us to eat more. Maybe they thought that we don't like the buffet.  To prove them wrong, we went again at Four Points, this time for dinner, 7 days after our lunch. It was a lobster feast. Wilma's colleagues went with us and each one was given a half serving of a lobster. What I enjoyed the most are baked halibut, seafood rice, sashimi (I missed this ...
