Chinatown





ABBEY: Nearing the end of her visit last 2010 when we went to Chinatown. As like in the Philippines, the place is full of shops selling charms, shirts, perfumes, bags, and other ornaments. Aside from shops, there are also flea markets selling goods and food also. You will also see street photographers taking snaps of the life of the place. I guess you already know on which MRT station you will alight in Purple Line.

WILL: Every country has its own chinatown. And if you say Chinatown, entrepreneurs and great buys will always be there! 
      So we headed here before i end up my two months vacation here in Singapore.  Here we bought shirts and pasalubongs. 2 for $10 shirt, when u are lucky, u can get 3 for 10$.
      This place is not only famous with the merchandise but also with food they sell. A street stretched with Chinese version of satay :) parang fiesta lang ang dating.
Lively and lovely!

Astons Specialties





ABBEY: 
This diner is at the underground level of Suntec Tower 3 near the Fountain of wealth. It serves pasta, steaks, burgers and salads. I tried their chicken spaghetti. The pasta was cooked right and their sauce is packed with ripe diced tomatoes, chicken chunks and spices. It was a treat for me. A plate costs 8sgd. Wilma got a wagyu beef burger and fries. Total bill is 20sgd including 2 drinks and a mushroom soup. The lighting and ambiance is cozy enough to have a sumptuous dinner.

WILL: When you will look for a nice dinner, Aston's is the place to be. Why? They have a great ambiance, actually quite intimidating, as if we can not afford to buy their food. I can say their place is quite romantic. :) 
          Their food? Hmmmm! YUMMY... The sauce overwhelmed the pasta. The burger, ordinary taste, nothing special.
          Here you can order beer lah! So pwede rin sya sa manginginom. Their food prices ranged from $8 up.
          We visited their Suntec branch, near Fountain of Wealth.

Ishiki - Sushi and Bento

ABBEY: Wilma told me she wanted to try other food outlets in Vivo. We looked at the first level and we found Ishiki. The food was good and also the ambiance; it makes you feel a street-like environment. I think they can improve their service by telling their staff to smile when they serving or welcoming guests. I felt the staff that served us is unapproachable. Too bad she's a Pinay. We finished our meal, pay for it and then leave.




WILL: I am craving for Japanese cuisine that day or should i say the taste of wasabe. So we headed for a Japanese restaurant at Vivo City. 
      Here we found this. I ordered curry rice.  Yum yum yum!
Hay! So glad Chat get some sushi :) each bento meal costs us 10.00. Not bad huh!
      The ambiance? Serene and homey. :)
