Angelina Restaurant and Cafe in Singapore l Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: Since the start of Christmas season, I suddenly have a craving for a hot chocolate. I picture it hot, creamy, slightly thick and rich in flavour. 

It was satisfied by the signature chocolate of Angelina, L’Africain. But boy, it was priced at 13SGD. It was served on a tiny porcelain jug and whipped cream on the side. The taste of chocolate alone brings back memories and really fits the festive air. Adding the whipped cream makes it more thick and decadent. It is smooth till the last drop. I partnered it with egg croissant with smoked salmon. 

But I’m telling you, the hot chocolate itself is enough. Try it and see for yourself.

WILL: Do you remember my post about the 18km morning walk for a breakfast? No? Please click this link below. Haha! Abbey is craving for a hot chocolate and he is feeling festive so we decided to get one of the best review hot chocolate in Singapore.. the Angelina at Marina Bay Sands. We walked for almost 4 hours. Great right? 

Angelina is a French Cafe and they pride themselves on their hot chocolate. What can I say? Please continue on what you are doing with your creamy, smooth, not so sweet yet not bitter hot chocolate drink. They have a good partnering of black coffee and whip cream. I am awaken on this kind combination.

Their Éclair caramel beurre salé reminds me of eclair candy in the Philippines. Nostalgic and perfect to my black creamy coffee.

Totally a good way to indulge!

TWG Tea Salon & Boutique

ABBEY: We planned numerous times to dine in this  tea shop at Marina Bay Sands but they never happened until we have spare time to wait for a fashion show. Since it will not start for a couple of hours, we went at TWG and sipped cups of tea. 

I got strawberry-fusion tea. The aroma is good as well as the taste. No burnt and bitter after taste. A tea book was given to us and we read a lot of info about the leaves; from how it started, the trade until to the names of each tea and their uses.

WILL: I am an absolute lover of teas and once I saw the this TWG at Marina Bay Sands I told to myself that someday I wi be having a tea there. 

      Well, we have an extra budget to sip some tea there and yes my 2years wish was finally granted. Once we put our first foot on the steps, their waitress immediately greeted us and ushered to our seats. Oh, their chairs is very soft, it made me really a royalty that night. The man passed us the TWG tea book. Whoah! Shocked! Overwhelmed with information. This company was established here in Singapore and decades past of being port of trade, they saw every finest tea leaves from different countries and with expert knowledge they came of hundreds of concoction that will result in greatness. 

      Oh Darl, my heart is in heaven when they served my teapot. I ordered silver moon. The taste?, nothing ordinary. Very Delicious! 

Carnivore at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: We passed by this restaurant a couple of times in The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. As the name implies they cater meat; red or white; be it fish, chicken, beef, pork and mutton. I saw their add for 1-for-1 buffet lunch. Since that time I start thinking when can we have lunch there since Wilma is always in the office at that time. 

Lo and behold, the opportunity presented itself when we visited ArtScience Museum. It was jam-packed but its nice we were given a table even we didn't made a reservation. I started with spring roll, chicken sausage, and rice. Their rice is flavorful and soft; just the way I like it. After that I always ask the to give me a slice of what they offer. The beef is very tasty and moist. As lunch time is about to end I feasted on grilled white tuna. I think I finished 6-7 pieces. Its very delicious. 

The buffet starts at 34sgd. The staffs welcome the guests warmly.

WILL: We are a trying hard herbivore, ahm should I mean vegetarian. If you will see our push cart in Sheng Siong every week, you will see a lot green vegetables were inside. This is for healthier us, healthier...together forever. Ha!

Abbey told me that we will have our lunch date at Carnivore at Marina Bay Sands The Shoppe, hesitant of the price but who am I to resist? He planned this, this is his day. 

Upon seeing the poster, gosh, their buffet lunch is 1-for-1 so we will only pay $17 each. :) 

Now, I am here to meet all the meat!!! Fish, pork, beef, and mutton is present. This is the only buffet I gone through that I do not need to come back and forth at their table, the have those roving passadors that will ask if you want the meat they carry. My favorite and very unforgettable is their roasted beef, so soft that you can say it melts in your mouth. I have 5 rounds of their salmon, soft and this salmon really carries the natural oil of it. 


We will surely come back here. All the staffs were very friendly. Roving passadors seems never been tired of walking and slicing the meats in front of their guests. Oh, please make a reservation or see yourself on a long queue.

Reasons to Visit Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: One reason is you can see their majestic structure. I was awed when we first came there. Signature boutiques are open to all. Kind staffs will greet you upon entering. No void spaces as they offer live music; be it a band, a quartet, or talent performers. Food courts, fine-dine restaurant, fast food chains, coffee shops will ease your hunger after shopping. A fountain show at the Marina bay will wrap the night; giving you enjoyment and revitalization.

WILL: 

      If you do not want to shop at crowded orchard, Marina Bay Sands is the place you may want spend your time off. 

Weekends? Go here lah! So many performers to entertain you and your kids.
      Food? Expensive? No! They have a food court that will satisfy your drool on food. Their food court is like a feast, different specialties of different countries were served here.
Videos uploaded by some performers we saw at MBS. Anyway why settle for a video if you can see those for yourselves :)

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY:
Nung sinabi ni Wilma na pupunta kami sa Marina Bay Sands. Akala ko pupunta kami sa casino. Hehehe. Wala naman kaming pera kaya nagtaka ako. MBS is very awesome and majestic. Ang ganda nung tatlong building. Tapos connecting the 3 buildings on top was an ark-shaped structure. Tulad ng ark dun sa 2012. Hehe.


Opposite ng MBS is yung the Shoppes. Ang daming signature-shops. Kaka-overwhelm yung mga gamit at kaka-overwhelm din ang prices. Dito din namin nakita yung Casio watch ni Wil. She was so surprised nung nakasuot na sa kanya :) Dun ko din nakita yung mahal na cellphone. Tadtad talaga ng diamante. Tsaka yung mga magagandang suites.


May live performance din ng quartet. Gusto ko ngang mag-request ng "Love Story" e, kaya lang tinamaan ako ng hiya. Hehehe.


Madami pang shoppes na magbubukas kaya alam ko babalik kami dun :)

WILL: At Marina Bay Station (North South Line) look for Exit A (Bus Stop) board bus nos. 133, 97 and 97e. Or better, if you don't have the patience transferring from trains to another bus.. take a cab :).
      The intricate design of The Shoppes is amazing. We went there a month ago. So di pa halos bukas ang stores. It's like that I am in a Duty Free shops sa mga international airports. If you have a lot of spare money to spend on, why not try this exquisite mall. I even saw a lingerie worth SGD1,700.00 mahal pa sa suite ni Abbey. 
      They have a gondola look-a-like a $10.00 ride. You'll just be driven by man on the stretch of mall, back and forth. 
      Don't worry for your pocket, an air-conditioned hawker is available inside. Dami ding filipino working inside each boutiques, nakakatuwa. 
      We will go back there, for sure. :)
