Ginger Pork




  • 1 pound boneless pork loin, cubed
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • salt and pepper to taste

Coat up the Pork with Flour. Then fry until brown. 
Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, water, sugar, and ginger. Let it simmer then put in the Fried Pork. Let it simmer again. Add salt and pepper to taste.




Verdict:
Abbey: This dish gave a new twist to an ordinary sauted pork. Having enough amount of ginger to dominate the taste, it would give you a unique flavor when they were mixed. Eat it with hot rice, then its would be a sure hit combo.

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream

Abbey:
This is one of a kind ice cream. Its new for me as I haven't seen this frozen delight back in Philippines.
A pint cost almost 15sgd. The taste is great. Having a silky texture and full of chunks, its a must have for a freezer. And speaking of freezer, the ice cream is still easy to scoop; giving you more time to indulge in and enjoy.





WILL: I am not fond of sweets most specially ang ice creams, so I am not that happy to see those pints inside our freezer. 
      As Abbey likes having ice cream in our fridge, he bought this one. First, I hesitated to eat even a small amount. Eh ayun, pinilit ako and the result? I ate almost all of the ice cream.. Haha! 
      What i love with the taste? Unordinary chocolates with chunks of its flavors. The texture, very creamy, you do not need to defrost it, you can linger in directly out from the freezer. 
      This costs $13 each pint.

Chocolate N' Spice

Abbey:

It was the day before our trip to PH for the wedding. After lunch, my then girlfriend told me that we'll buy snacks to eat at the plane. When we got at this bakery, I saw people forming a long queue. It doesn't matter how long they have to wait as it was compensated by a pleasant aroma of the pastries. We bought a box of chocolate muffins.
At the plane we were hesitant to open the box. It will definitely smell. But its time to feed our stomachs. What other passengers can only do is to enjoy the fragrance :) free smells. The muffins are moist and rich in floavor. Cost? 1.30 a piece.



WILL: Thank you so much to our Director for letting me taste this famous muffin in Tanjong Pagar. You need to queue long enough that it will take you around 5-10 mins. While in line, savor the aroma of the dough and different flavors they cater.
      Of course the best for me is their choco chip muffin. When we went back to Philippines, we took a box of these to serve a snack while we are on-board. The sweet smell filled up the plane. The other half box was given to my niece and nephews, and it was a hit :D 
      Each muffin costs not more than 1.50S$.
