Koi Cafe

ABBEY: Wilma anticipates the opening of their branch at CompassPoint. When it opened we queue to order a couple of bubble tea. 

This is the first time I saw that an iPad is used to get the orders just like the screen at the cash register. (maybe remote app) That amazed me :) This gives the efficiency of the staff to get and processed the orders. Which in turn giving the customers minimal waiting time. 

We got Ovaltine and caramel macchiato for 7sgd. They also offer sugar level options. Now I have an alternative for my Golden Ovaltine.






WILL: Koi Cafe is having a great buzz around Sengkang and that was  thing that gave us a huge urge to try this one. 
      As usual long queue is there but fret not, they have a great service that they can make your waiting time to be shorter than expected. Very high-tech! they use iPad to take our orders and we will just pay at the counter and get our queue number.
     That taste? not bad but not so good as the Gong Cha. Try it, anyways we have different level of taste and satisfaction.

Adobong Kangkong



Ingredients:
Kangkong
Garlic
Vinegar
Soy sauce

Cut kangkong into 3-inch sizes separating the stem from the leaves.
Minced 5-6 cloves of garlic.
Saute the garlic and once they became brown, put soy sauce and vinegar(proportion depends on you). Add the stem first and then the leaves. Simmer for a couple of minutes and season to taste. Remove from the pan and serve with hot rice.

VERDICT:
WILL: For almost a month, we vowed that we will cook here in our house will be all veggies. Not that we are pledging to be vegetarian but this is a great step for a healthier "us".
      This Abbey's creation is a great start! I love greenery leafy vegetables and "adobo" also, so Abbey cooked this one. Very tasty. This viand only costs us not more than $3. :D 
      Try this friends!

The Muppets

ABBEY: Honestly I only knew two muppet characters; Ms. Piggy and Kermit. The rest of the gang, I just knew them by face. I'm surprise that Ms. Piggy and Kermit had a past ;) I was not able to see their first film. 

The movie was fun. The characters throw lines with the appropriate timing. It's in this movie that I saw a puppet's facial reaction making the emotions more real. The dance and song numbers are great as well. It's a movie for the people who grew along with the Muppets.




WILL: Well, well, well.. thanks again Nuffnang Singapore for the opportunity to see this movie on a special screening! 
      It is so true that many children now that do not know who the muppets are. This movie is a positive vibes setter, a feel-good movie. Very simple yet lessons will be learned upon. Thanks Disney for this show! Worthy to spend time.
