Queens Dessert Cafe Bistro

ABBEY: After a dinner we got the craving for coffee. Wilma remembered that the Wine Company in Sentosa Boardwalk is having a promotion for coffee. Sadly, it ended. We decided to go to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. A few meters from the Wine Company is a cafe and bistro named Queens. We were greeted by their Pinay staff. Finally, we won't be walking that long for coffee shop. We sat in the comfy sofa outside. We picked it as we knew that there will be live performance. We were right, at 9pm a Pinoy entertaining sang music. They're serving cakes, coffees, teas, beer, house pouring and signature wines. For 12sgd, u can have a cup of coffee, cake and an ice cream. Wine per glass start at 9sgd and 60+sgd per bottle. We stayed there until 11pm sharing stories among us and with our new friends. :)






WILL: After seeing each other at our official tambayan at Vivo City we moved our feet to go to Sentosa Boardwalk for some dessert and coffee. The official plan was to spend our time at The Wine Company but we ended up sipping love hot drinks at the Queens. 
      Queens is a sister company of The King Louis Grill and Bar. As usual I ordered a hot tea which costs $4-5 each pot. They serve Lipton tea. Abbey of course, he wants a coffee then Chat ordered a coffee, ice cream and cake costs her $9. Pwede na ang value ng food to its taste. 
      This reminds me of Manila's Baywalk. So to complete the nostalgic things, we wait for the singer. Around 9pm the singer arrived with his guitar and sings some very soothings music while USS do the fireworks. ;) Isn't great for royalties dine in a palace-like-restau Queens? Hehe. 
      Then we wants to stay a lil bit longer but our drinks and cake were all done. So Chat ordered a mug of beer priced $4 and me a white wine $9 for a one glass. Beer comes along with all-you-can-eat chips :) We really love the experience. Cheers for Queens.

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.
