A Night of Comedy with Rex Navarrete 2011

ABBEY: I thought I won't be seeing his act here at Singapore. It's a weekend, but it's a workday for me. Good thing my colleague offered a swap. Upon approval, I booked our tickets priced at 45sgd each. The place is at LaSalle College of the Art near Little India MRT station. The show started bit late but its worth the wait. Honestly, I've already watch some of his antics. But it's very different when you are on a live audience and hear him deliver the punchlines. Madami akong tawa talaga :). Bonus is the picture taking session after the show. Rex is one hella Pinoy :)





WILL:  Rex Navarrete... Who is he? Never heard of him until last year that Abbey gave me a link to his YouTube. From there, di ko n sya nakalimutan! Naks! At yun, Abbey went with me too see him perform live. 
       Ang aga namin dun, di kami pwede malate kasi baka kami mapagdiskitahan ni Rex hehe. As expected I laugh and laugh. His jokes were true, sabi nga nya he do "research" hehe. Very witty. Like ko talaga sya lalo na pag ang mama na nya ang usapan. Haha. Nakikita ko ang mga nanay sa Pilipinas haha. Ahmmmmmm. 
       Nashocked ako, kala ko ako lng nakaexperience sa airline na yun merong retired captain na nasa passengers' seat. Hehe. Pano ko nalaman na captain sya ng eroplano? While on the midst of his sleep, pinunthan sya ng stewardess and ang bungad "Captain, tawag po kayo ni captain" what the f, then dun nya kwento sa akin na retired sya and he's on vacation ALONE! haha. Nakarelate tuloy ako. Haha. 
       Basta nakakatuwa ka Rex. More more more wisdom for you.

The Tastings Room

ABBEY: After going to another sale of Body Shop, we went to this diner at Marina Square. It is a very cozy place; interiored with black upholstery and plays with shape of circles and squares. We availed their August special-Sun Kissed tomato crayfish pasta only for 14sgd. I got BLT sandwich in a wrap. They are flavorful and taste great. A lot of different flavors on every bite. Usual price of coffee or tea is 5sgd, be we got it for 2.5sgd.







WILL: As I browse the web, The Tastings caught my attention for their 2.50$ promo on their coffee and tea. ;) we were about to buy some goodies at Suntec for pasalubongs and we need some place to have our mirienda, glad this is just located at Marina Square. 
When we reached the place Abbey's stomach reacts and want some food to indulge in. Then we ordered a BLT in wraps and sun-kissed tomato crayfish pasta.
     The pasta was served first, can be shared by two persons and it is incredible, flavors of tomato and meat of crayfish was well blended with its al dente pasta. The BLT wraps, the best BLT for me as of now. The saltiness of bacon, the unique sauce, sweetness of unknown fruit (hehe), and egg yolk came together to excite my taste buds!
     The interiors is very nice and relaxing. Very recommendable for a tea time.

Homemade Pizza ;)





TO DO:
Research, research, research. Surfing the net on how to make dough, sauce and toppings for the pie.
Dough:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2/3 cup milk
6 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and knead it. Make sure the ingredients are well mixed and until the dough is smooth.
Roll it to a ball and press it with rolling pin.
Sauce (red):
1 big can of tomato sauce
1 small can of tomato paste
1 clove garlic; minced
Crushed dried basil
pepper and salt
oregano

Saute garlic in olive oil. Once it changed color, put on the tomato sauce and paste. Put basil, pepper, salt and oregano to taste.

Sauce(white) - instead of tomato sauce and paste replace them with milk and parmesan cheese.

Pre-heat the oven at 425F. Put sauce in the dough. Top it with cheese, meatballs, ham, bacon, bell pepper, etc.


WILL: 

     I am the one that should do this pizza project but I slept for two hours that afternoon and when I get up I saw Abbey already cooking the pizza sauce and the toppings. He is also the one who do the no-yeast dough. Sya na lahat. Taga tikim n lng ako. Haha. 
    Well, now, the verdict: sarap! The dough taste like the greenwich :) the toppings syempre dahil di tinipid eh ang sarap tlga! This pizza served as our dinner and breakfast kinabukasan.
