112 Katong

ABBEY: The mall has been renovated recently and re-opened last December 22. We made plans that we will watch a movie there in time with the opening. The mall has free shuttle ride from Jurong East MRT station. Once we arrived there we noticed that the entire floor is covered with carpet. Unusual for a mall huh. The mall houses restaurants like TGIF and Nando's. Shops for electronic gadgets, appliances, and home fixture are also there. We watched a movie at Golden Village on the fourth floor. Food court is on the same floor also. The floor area is small compared to others but its a good place to visit.

WILL: Never heard of this mall ever since until they put up a facebook account to promote the renovated mall. :)
      I am so astounded to see that the mall is carpeted and with a very classy and elegant design. They housed a lot of high class restaurant and of course foodcourt will never be out. Golden village is present for movie addicts like us. Haha! We love this mall but it is little bit too far from Punggol.
      You can get there by alighting at Paya Lebar station then wait for their free shuttle. :)

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. :)
