NYDC

ABBEY: NYDC celebrate the holidays by giving 1 for 1 vouchers for their Christmas meals and ala cartes. We dined at the their branch in Wheelock Place . We opted to order ala cartes compared to other festive entrees as I'm 100% sure that my wife won't be able to finish it. The servings are big. Other meals are for bigger groups. Prices range from 29sgd to 98sgd. I got their Christmas ala carte "Catch of the day". It is halibut fillet with pesto cream. The fish is so flavorful and fresh. Side dishes includes steamed asparagus and carrots and mashed potato. My wife likes the potato because of its creaminess. Each ala carte comes with a Fizzy Drink, which keeps the other diners to look at our table and ask the staff what is our drink, and a slice of Choco/white logcake. Its been a Festive lunch for us :)

WILL: NYDC grants us a 1-for-1 treat for its festive meal sets. Well we do not get their hearty meal for a reason that we cannot finish that serving of 4 :D So we ended up munching up their ala carte meal!

      I ordered their chicken meal. Chicken is nice but there is no something new. What I love with them? The side dishes! The asparagus, the carrots, the pumpkin and most specially their mashed potato! Hail to their mashed potato! As of now, this is the nest mashed potato I ever tried :D Its so smooth, creamy and sometimes tastes like a milk. D@mn good!Their logcakes, OMG! I want it in our fridge! That will be so nice with a tea!

      Thanks NYDC! We will surely go back at their Wheelock branch at Orchard! 

We Love Mosha

ABBEY: Elephants are flocking at Tangs and other places in Singapore. They are not real though. Those are statues painted with different design to commemorate Elephant parade, an exhibition that promotes elephant conservation awareness. The parade was inspired by Mosha, a baby elephant who lost its foot by stepping into a landmine. It was started by father and son, Marc and Mike Spits when they met Mosha in Thailand. The elephant was able to walk again by the help of an artificial leg.

Tangs took part in the parade through social media by conducting a contest; find Mosha on the web. Luckily I got the 3rd price (a 20-cm replica of Mosha and a 50sgd limited edition Tangs card). My wife was one of who has consolation prize(10sgd Tangs card). The replica is beautiful; beautiful enough to keep than to give :) Just this one.

WILL:  As we celebrate the coming of the biggest figurine show that occurred here in singapore, Tangs made a contest to find Mosha who is lost in their website. 
      
Mosha is the elephant who received the first prosthetic foot and the reason for this fund raising activity. 
       
Back to the contest, I think Abbey and I found her thrice and submitted an entry every time we saw her in different place. Hehe. Abbey won the third price and got the very lovable Mosha replica and a $50 gift card. Me?, lucky enough to be picked and got myself a $10 limited gift card. Thanks Tangs for this contest and for bringing in the Elephant Parade. This is a very great chance for us to mingle with them. :)

Logos Hope

ABBEY: We were strolling along Vivo finding a place to dine when we notice a ship on the harbor. We thought that it was Duolos. We went outside and saw her named as Logos Hope. Entrance is free of charge. Like Doulos they travel around the world to give and sell books to impart knowledge. They also conduct counseling regarding relationships and HIV awareness. In here I bought 3 books, 6sgd each, for Left Behind series. I'm halfway for the 12-part collection :) 

The ship has a cafe too. I got hot chocolate for 2sgd. It was served in a BIG cup. Carolers entertain the guests as they enjoy their snacks. I hope I can complete my book if they'll come here again.

WILL:  Have you heard of Doulos? A ship that goes around the world carrying books and was manned by volunteers of different nations. Well, as I know, Doulos had now stopped roaming the oceans and now Logos Hope came to continue what Doulos had started. 
       Logos Hope is bigger than its predecessor. But I am sad because they offer a lesser books. It berth Singapore last year and bound to Cebu after here. 
       Inside, there is a cafe and a museum like partitions for the children to enjoy. Since its holiday season when they arrived here, there are some chorale singing in iCafe table by table. ;) 
Hope to see them again! We enjoyed a lot. Ahmm, I nearly forget their tea tastes so good and their books is way cheaper than the local bookstore, almost 80% off. Hehe. You already got a discount, you also helped charities and volunteers.
