FOC Sentosa - Best Pork Paella in Singapore
FOC Sentosa is not your ordinary restaurant. It is located at Palawan Beach and of course you can soak under the sun their daybeds or have a dip in their pools but make sure you have a prior booking as they are almost fully booked everyday.
We went there to dine and we ordered Iberico Pork Paella. Gosh! Expats are right, FOC serves one of the best paella in Singapore. The rice is still firm and rice is the real star of this viand. Unlike other paellas that's smothered by meat, this paella is simple and yet tasty. You will love the toasted rice sticking on the pan. Yummm!! The pork is tender as expected. Can still remember the aroma of the FOC’s Paella. We washed down the Pork Iberico Paella with their coffee.
Please visit and do not forget to book a reservation at FOC Sentosa.

Marrybrown Singapore - Something Different!
WILL: There's a long list of variation of food you can indulge in Sentosa and Marrybrown is one of the fastfood that you can try in the island. And this is the only Marrybrown branch islandwide! The name somewhat sounds like Westerner but don't be fooled...it is a local company from Malaysia. So, do not be intimidated, you can afford the food in here.

Sentosa Sandsation 2017 & Merlion Magic Lights
WILL: I honestly admit that I am lazy to roam around after a day of work...ahm ok even weekends. Haha! This past few months, I am the one who just want to seat, lay on bed and only thing that can make me move is to run around our block or inside the gym.
I saw the formed sands at Sentosa. It reminds me of what I saw in one of the YouTube video in Japan. So, I scheduled to have that visited one Thursday night and to have a date night too with my husband at Sentosa Island.
We used the Sentosa Boardwalk to gain free entry at the island then we boarded the train and bus (free) to Siloso Beach. Creatively and impressively formed sands are there! We found one guy retouching one of the sculptures and asked them how many days that it was prepared. He answered 10days. Imagine that! All those artists flew to Singapore and work for it for 10days! Truly, this is a must visit attraction.
Sand sculptures portraits the traditions and food of Singapore and some artists uses their skills to give their message to the people. One thing took my attention, it was a lady child seating on the learning blocks. The blocks was normally curved with letter and numbers, the blocks consist of different brands of clothings, bags and shoes. This will make you think how children are evolving now. It is a good eye-opener for parents. Thanks Mr. Borecki Wiaczeslaw of Poland.
To hit two in a single trip, we waited for Merlion MagiLights. It will run until 29th of October. It is an astonishing light show. It is my first time to see human-form lights dancing on a transparent screen!
Sentosa always have something up in their sleeves! And most of it... it is for FREE!!!

Sabio By The Sea at Quayside Isle (Sentosa Island)
I got a cappucino. The taste is not that strong but creamy. I enjoyed the dessert specially when the filling flowed down like lava after the cut. The caramel was not too sweet which is ok for me and it really went well with the ice cream.

Sabio by the Sea at Quayside Isle - MEnu |
WILL: We walked down the Quayside Isle on intention to make some spaces for our dessert. Yes! I won’t waste my time and $2 bus fee not to try the well known house signature dessert of Sabio by the Sea... the Pastel de Mantequilla Salada Carmelo de Lava or Salty Butter Caramel Lava Cake.
All is offering Chocolate Lava so, this is a new thing to explore to.
We partnered the Caramel Lava Cake with hot drinks. Tea for me, coffee for Abbey! Gosh! On instant, it was written in my fave list. Haha!
Go on take your date here at Quayside Isle. You will never forget the experience.

Miska Cafe at Quayside Isle (Sentosa Island)
The view is great and relaxing; yacht, smiling people and sunny weather.
I got Doner and Rice. The chicken and veal is tender and moist. I eat them without the sauce (as I didn’t want the taste) and its good. I like the rice. The butter on it made me crave for more.

I cannot provide that request, why? No more leave is available for me. All used up! Bleh! And to accommodate that Abbey’s wish, I told him that I set-up a mystery date place. Tandaannnn! He wanted to feel sea breeze, We went to Sentosa’s Quayside Isle. It is just beside W Hotel.
We took taxi from Harbourfront bus Interchange and alight at right after the parking spaces of yachts.
We dined at Miska Cafe. I went for Falafel! The size is a shocker. Their serving is for giants. Haha! I inly finished half and Abbey is so full that he do not have the audacity to take some of it. Two thumbs up for Miska’s Falafel.
Keep an eye on their alcoholic promotions. Booze and food plus beautiful scenery equals total relaxation.

Universal Studios Singapore® - Santa's All-Star Christmas 2015
WILL: This is my first time to go to Universal Studios Singapore during festive season. Why? Because I am avoiding a jam-packed themed park, because I hate long queues for the rides and for the toilets, because it is very hard to take a seat for some snacks, and ultimately.. because I will not enjoy the rest of the day. But, when we were there, there is no queue at all, but of course except the leading rides. Haha.
We ate our snack at Discovery Food Court with my favourite corndog. Haha! We ended our USS tour with Donkey Show. We are definitely entertained.

Fort Siloso Singapore
By 12:30PM at Beach Station, an "old bus" will take you to the fort. An entrance free of 12SGD should be paid. Fort Siloso served as the primary stronghold against the war enemy that comes from the south sea.
The tour ended on what they called as Surrender Chambers. It relives the scene of Singapore surrendering to Japanese forces led by Gen. Yamashita. And on the next room was the scene where Allied Forces led by Lord Mountbatten liberated Singapore from Japan. Those are touching scenes and a lot to learn from the history.
WILL: We need to know the past and learn from it or history will just repeat itself.
That is why Singapore gives a big effort to let locals and tourist know how it was to be on their "dark ages". The time, World War II, when they were conquered by Japanese with the leadership of General Yamashita. It was a big trick or I should say Yamashita knew the "art and power of making a deal" that time.
Here in Fort Siloso, you will see the real cannons. You can check-out the bankers, undergrounds tunnels and the famous signing of Japanese surrendering to the Allied Forces.
This is an informative day for us. You can join a tour if you do not have an idea where to start. The entrance fee for locals is $10 and for tourist is $12. If you're already at Sentosa why not check this out.

Underwater World Singapore and Dolphin Lagoon - Sentosa
At 4PM, the show started for pink dolphins in the Dolphin Lagoon. They are wonderful creatures, very graceful and intelligent. They showed how they can sing, wave, pass through a hoop and give their signature jumps. Fur seals also joined them in exhibiting their tricks like how fast they can swim and catching rings.
I hope Sentosa management takes good care of them. Not much difference between SEA Aquarium and Underwater World, both have clear tunnels filled with fish, rays and sharks. The walkalator in Underwater World is a plus though.
WILL: As we need to be more picky on the activities we should do on Abbey’s sister second visit, we chose to go to Underwater World of Sentosa instead Jurong Bird Park. Why? We need to give Ate Rizbeth non-tiring tour. All we need to do is to sit and watch the dolphin show and explore the aquarium which is all air-conditioned. So less sweat, less stress for the family of three.

Wings of Time - Where Imagination Takes Flight
We won a pair of tickets on the first day of the show itself. It was a story of Shahbaz going his way home with the help of Rachel and her friend Felix. Yes that is the story line. I can't see the connection of the concerto maestro as well as the role of the other casts on the plot. Once the animation began, the casts were "casted" on the sidelines unlike on the Songs of the Sea wherein there is an interaction. But in Wings of Time, the light show and fireworks are better. Your eyes will feast on the light patterns as well as its coordination with the fireworks and water.
Tickets were priced at 18SGD for regular and 23SGD for premium seats.

Dinner Buffet @ The Kitchen Table - W Singapore Sentosa Cove
I got papadum and lamb curry as starter. The meat is tender and curry really goes well with the chip. I also had plain naan and curry combo. Then I went to Western station and got; dory fillet in schezuan sauce; sea bass in pesto cream sauce and stir-fried Beef in minced scallion and garlic.
Next round I had pulled pork with root vegetables. A chef approached our table and asked if we like to try seared salmon. Who are we to say no? :) It was mouth-watering.
Then another served us a thin crust chorizo pizza. For dessert I chose chocolate mousse. It was served in a cocktail glass. Serving is small but it is enough to satisfy my sweet cravings. A cup of coffee and then we headed home.
One night while checking where I can get a buffet for my Kuya Laleng, I saw The Kitchen Table's 1-for-1 dinner promotion and yes, that was only available for their members. I send an email, but sad to say, my brother's itinerary can't it make so I just booked for 2 on 22nd October.
Directly from office we hailed a taxi and alighted in front of the W Hotel. We were greeted by their staffs and a nicely decorated staircase welcomed us.
As the concierge told us, go up to the stairs, turn right, go down and turn left. There! We found the The Kitchen Table.
As we walked our way in, we saw the "promised" sign and not the "reserved" one. We were seated with a view of not less than 10 parked yacht.
Sorry I do not start my meal with a salad, well, I don't even go near to that station. My I sat my first plate with sashimi, and sushi.
2nd plate, the breads shouting at me asking me to take a bite, so I paved my way and get some bread and I sliced some 4 cheese tart. Ohh lala! Perfect combination!
I went back to the Japanese station to get an oyster and an very huge shrimp. I ordered a gnocchi with white sauce for my 4th plate, darling this gnocchi really good, the taste is superb.
As my tummy is expanding, I asked Cristine for a hot tea to help my stomach digest all the foods. When I felt that its okay again, I ask the chef to give me some steamed chicken with mushroom. This plate of were so nice and it flashbacked all the food I have eaten when I am in China. A plate of papadum was my last plate.
Oooops, for desert, I get the deconstructed cheesecake, so yummy, I can eat 3 of those but my tummy really can't make a way for another shot.
I really love that night. It seems that we are still in courting stage. Abbey surprised me a half dozen of red roses. So sweet right? We talked a lot that night, we exchanged views about our current office events, we even pictured what will be the design of our own home.
Thanks Abbey for this wonderful evening.
