Japanese Restaurant Yayoiken


ABBEY: We found this diner before our movie night commences. This is one of the newest tenant at Bugis+ (formerly Iluma). I tried their pork tonkatsu set. It comes with miso soup, salad, rice and dessert. My set costs 13.9sgd and rice is free flow. 

The whole meal is good; pork is crunchy - perfect match with delicious and fragrant rice. The serving is also large.










WILL: Bugis Iluma was renovated and now one of the tenants of Bugis+ is the Yayoiken Japanese Restaurant. It was located just in first floor and just few steps once you entered the building. Perfect location isn't? 
      We dined here when we won our premiere ticket for the La Chance De Ma Vie (Second Chance). The place is inviting and the ambiance is nice for a dating couple ad yet not pricey. 
      I was craving for a simmering hot soup and noodles then I ordered the Yasai Ramen. A pork base soup with pork meat and vegetables. My first really delights me! The soup have a distinctive taste and the noodles is firm, just what I want for my bowl of ramen. It costs $9.90. Compliments to their wasabi. Lovely!
      Yayoiken at Bugis + is their second branch, you can find the first at the Liang Court Shopping Centre.

Clipper - Detox Tea

ABBEY: Ok, this is one of my favorite tea. This is a detox tea with infusion of berries. Strong aroma fills my workspace and my colleagues asks only one thing "Where does it come from?". It has a good taste and the leaves will not burn easily even soaked for a long time. A 20-packet box costs less than 8sgd.






WILL: I am glad Abbey is turning to be a tea drinker, absolutely i will support him. After office, I went to Cold Storage VivoCity to look for some tea infusions that I think he will love.  Well, I am right, he fell in love this Clipper's Tea detox infusion. Aroma and taste made myself proud that I will never fail to taste of tea in just reading the ingredients. Haha! 
This cost $8 per box of 20. :)

SUB-SONIC LIVE (Fred Perry Singapore Subculture)

ABBEY: We RSVP-ed at Fred Perry Sub-Sonic event. It showcased bands and musicians playing their own music to give entertainment for the night. De Burg offers discounted rates for their burger sliders from 4sgd. The burgers were delicious and juicy. Free ice cream and free flow of cocktail and beer for those who wear Fred Perry apparel. Singtel also offered gadget accessories, vouchers and passes if you can get it from the center of ice blocks :) 














WILL: Fred Perry arranged this "Sub-Sonic" event to feature the new artists, so glad they have managed to do it herein Singapore. I am really fond of the styles and designs of the collection and that I decided not only to buy their products but also be a fan on their Facebook Page. My husband RSVP on this event and we are so blessed to be the lucky few who can make it on their list.
     I can say, they are well prepared. 6:30PM the gate is open for their guests but we arrived 20mins earlier. We collected our tags and and our pins, and surprisingly, one of them approached us apologizing that we need to wait for some minutes. No worries at all. We saw a somewhat flock of the 1980s' motorcyclist wearing Fred Perry polo shirts. Awesome!
     We walked our way to The Court and saw Singtel Iced advertisement. We went there just took a photo but the one of the promoter told us to participate on their "icy" game. Using water gun or anything that we can use except stones. Around 15 minutes gunning the thick ice, I managed myself to put my hand inside and grab the Singtel magazine and on that I won a $50.00 voucher, Abbey got a tickets for Zouk party.
     Its time to listen to the new voices and music. You know what I expect? A party of wild drunken guys and gals, but I am so so wrong. Even the alcoholic drinks are bottomless, no one inside so intoxicated that initiated any riot. The teens keep their composure. They are just listening while enjoying every sip of beer and punch.  
     Hooray to Fred Perry. Oh, forgot to mention that they really prepared for this event, they have an ambulance just outside the gate. Thanks for the free ice cream 7th Heaven! Thanks to all the bands! More power Fred Perry!
