Chuckwagon BBQ & Grill (S'pore)

ABBEY: At last we set foot at Chuckwagon;send-off dinner for Ford. The restaurant depicts a classical Wild Wild West salon. I was waiting for the bandits and Sheriff to come and have a duel. Just kidding. 

We got half a dozen of spicy buffalo wings and their signature BLT sandwich. Ford ordered 2 full slabs of ribs. I somehow managed to finish two spicy wings and I can taste the flavour on each bite. The BLT bun is tasty as it toasted with butter. As always anything is better with bacon :) It made me full as the serving is big. I had a couple of ribs and they were delicious. The meat can be removed from the bones easily. 

Also, I would like to commend the staff for their efficient and fast service. It only took a couple of minutes to serve our meal so we can satisfy our growling stomachs.









WILL: Are you just around the *polis* area? I mean Metropolis, Biopolis, Fusionopolis. Do you want a very serene place to unwind on your very hectic schedule? Why not come down to 7 Portsdown Road for some booze and finger foods.

We went to Chuckwagon to celebrate the upcoming of Ford’s next life’s chapter. We ordered their famous BBQ Baby Back Ribs ($40.80), fries, nachos, buffalo wings, burger and prosciutto funhgi pizza.

Their baby back ribs is tender and there is an aftertaste of flavoured tea. Nice! I love their mashed potato, the side the was served for their Bacon, Lettuce Tomato Burger. You will ask for more nachos. ”The bad” buffalo wings ($18.80) is really a lip-smacker! A very good level of spiciness to be partnered with wine or beer.

Their place is comforting and their servers are really warm.

Thanks Ford and good luck on all of your endeavours!

Spa Elements

ABBEY: It's been months since we had our last body massage. And good timing, my Citibank family gave me a complimentary massage at Spa Elements (Orchard MRT near Forever 21) which costs more than a hundred bucks. Visit with a friend, in this case, my "best friend", and can get the same treatment at 18sgd. 

So we went there after office, filled up the form and then a couple of minutes later we're in the room with our own masseur. I chose the light intensity massage. But still I felt it was a deep tissue one. Every stroke on my back and neck is painful but the muscles were relieved of tension. Two questions came from my therapist; "When was your last massage?" and "Do you know how stiff your back is?" I just smiled knowing where will the conversation will go. Anyways, I'm happy with the service. It was really relaxing.








WILL: December!!! We still celebrate our bf/gf anniversary and for this year we went for a spa. Post-celebration but I know still worth it. 

Friday. And all the people in Orchard Road were like ants roaming around in every shop. Abraham and I were on our way for some relaxation. As the Citibank Voucher indicates, Spa Elements is just near Forever 21(MRT). We walked found it few steps away from Poppeyes Restaurant.

I am so happy when I lay faced down on the bed. It has a heater. Warm bed makes me more relaxed and ready for some kneading. The masseur started the massage with medium pressure. She was hesitant to apply the deep tissue massage on me. So when I can't take the mildness of her touch, I blurted out to apply more pressure...and the enjoyment began. 

Aching muscles soothes right away. All the clenched fiber of my body begin to loosen up. What a relief!

Definitely a recommendable place. We got Abbey's session for free from Citibank. They gave us the voucher on his birthday month and an $18 for one-hour massage for your tag-along person. Good right? That's why we love Citibank Singapore. So what are you waiting for? Apply your credit cards now. ;)

Wingstop Singapore - The Wing Experts (Bedok Mall Branch)

ABBEY: Since Wingstop only has one store in Singapore (Bedok Mall), going here is a challenge fo us living in the West. Not until December 2014 where they opened another branch at City Square Mall.

But never mind that, once you're in sitting and munching on their delicious and flavorful chicken, nothing else matters. I like the most is their garlic parmesan flavor. The saltiness is right in every bite and after taste of garlic will kick in. Next flavors are lemon pepper and Oriental Soy pepper (for Singapore only). I'm not a fan of hot and spicy flavors. 

Wilma wants to try the atomic but declined on second thought, maybe we'll try it next time. You can either order classic chicken wing or chicken tenders so you can eat all up.









WILL: When Abbey and I were going to Changi for his EMEA shift, we smelled a terrific aroma of freshly fried chicken. We looked around and I saw a man holding a carrier of Wingstop. I asked Abbey for his tablet and googled the branches where I can buy it. At that time their only branch is at Bedok Mall. So far away but we still made it at Wingstop not only once but twice! 

I get the second spicy flavoured chicken (Original Hot). Poor decision, I should get their hottest chicken. I ate those wings messily. The meat is tender. Not bloody and the flavor sinked in up to the bones.

Finger-lickingly-awesome! Try this and for sure you will not get disappointed. They will give you a freshly fried chicken; You-order-They'll cook policy. :)
