Chili's Singapore Big Mouth Burger Day 2013

ABBEY: This is our second time to participate in Chili's Big Mouth. I was planning to be in the Big Mouth Challenge where will you eat as much burger as you want on a given time. I decided not to as I'm not prepared. We had our Big Mouth dinner at their JCube branch along with Vincent. 

As anticipated, the queue was long. You have to wait for 45 minutes to an hour so you can be accommodated. Or you can list your number and they'll call you once a table is available. We lined up on their waiting area and within 20 minutes, the staff ushered us on our table. All burger on that day is priced at a minimum of 8.80sgd. The burgers usually cost from 15sgd to 25sgd. A sure treat :) 

Our table is located across the kitchen and as curious as we are, we kept looking as what is happening there.  People are busy preparing food and you can smell the aroma of beef and fries. Our curiosity led to a bowl of chips, a compliment from the house. The chef assumed that we were impatient for our order. He even apologized we waited that long. But we told him we just wanted to look how things get done. I got my Southern Smokehouse Bacon Big Mouth burger which comes with big serving of fries. 

I just dug in when the food was served. It was a big and heavy meal and it satisfied my hunger. The beef pattie was moist and juicy and the fries were crispy. It was a great dinner; low-cost, sumptuous food, and great stories with loved ones.

WILL: It's Chili's 3rd Annual Big Mouth Burger Day last 26th of June, and yes!!!, we were part of it again! This time we invaded the Chili's JCube branch.

      
6PM and the queue as long as MRT, and we were so lucky that we are on the first ten. We were given a table after 30minutes. Our seat was just beside the kitchen, and from there, we saw how dedicated the chef and the people doing the cooking. We are really amazed on their job.

      
Suddenly a bowl of nachos arrived our table and the waiter told us that is on the house, given by the chef! Gosh, maybe they saw us that we are drooling over the food. Hehe!

      
Our ordered arrived and as usual, you need really a big mouth to take a small bite on their burgers. I really love my Mushroom-Swiss Burger, it tastes like milk and the patty's texture is so soft!

      
Would love to go in here even without discount! See you more often, Chili's! Looking forward on next 2014's Big Mouth Burger!

The Manhattan Pizza Company Singapore - Pizza Buffet Dinner

ABBEY: Wilma and I both like pizza. Whenever budget and schedule is ok we also try restaurant buffets. So when Groupon released its deal regarding pizza buffet, we thought why we don't try both at the same time :) The Manhattan Pizza Company offers the deal. Located at Orchard Central it is accessible thru Somerset MRT.  

We went at 6pm and there was no queue. Their staffs clearly and warmly explained to us the mechanics and for a top up of 2sgd you can have free flow of soda. They advised us to order a slice at a time to enjoy the pizza while it is still hot. But since I deprived myself from food the whole day I ordered Pepperoni and MP Luncheon slices. The pizza didn't got the chance to loose its warmth as I already finished them within 15 minutes. I slowed down a bit and had a slice of BBQ chicken. Each pie is full of toppings and flavorful. I also enjoyed putting Tabasco sauce in it to add spice on each bite. Next two slices were Meat Lover. 

As I tried to push more pizza onto my stomach I had another Luncheon meat for my 6th slice. The last one I had is the Margherita. It has a unique taste because of the herb. I thought I can go for eighth but decided not to. Seven is enough; a perfect number. I took gulps of soda and then we headed home. Until next time.

WILL: I am always looking on their The Manhattan Pizza Company facebook page for giveaway opportunities but its always been a fail, oh darn, always defeated.And when I saw that Groupon Singapore came to a deal of $18 for an unlimited pizza, right away I asked Abbey to buy it for both of us and Vince.

     That was monday and really starved ourselves nearly to death, haha. My hubby and I came to their Orchard Central branch and asked the lady behind the counter to serve also their unlimited drinks and we topped-up $2. 

     We were surprised that they have a not so ordinary size of pizza serve here in Singapore. I ordered the pepperoni, and for me it is the best among the other flavors. 

     From 6pm to 930pm, we were there munching each pizza that we can take in. Love this kind of food, haha, stomach wrecking idea!    

     Thanks Abbey for the treat. Mwwah!

Man of Steel 2013

ABBEY: My long wait was over. Man of steel started its showing here in Singapore since June 13 and we watched it on the weekend after the release. We missed the start of the movie as we are late. We caught the scene in which Laura and Jor-El were preparing Kal-El for his departure from Krypton. The story is good. They were able to tell Superman's teen and young adult lives seamlessly. 

I was amazed by my hero's super strength which enables him to save his classmates from drowning when their bus plunged into a river. He also showed the same when an oil rig was caught on fire. It was a spectacular moment when his silhouette was shown and he emerged wearing his suit and cape blown by the wind. Its as if the Superman I've known before came back to life. 

The story between him and Lois Lane has twist though. On the lighter side Superman may have known how to wear his underwear the right way. 

I don't know if its only me, did Spiderman and Superman have the same tailor? There was a scene from the movie in which  I thought it was Spiderman if its not only for the cape :)

WILL: I am not fan of Superman neither Spiderman since Abbey's childhood hero is the Man of Steel, we include this movie on are watch on list for 2013.
      We were late for about minutes, so sad, but anyway, I like the movie's story. 8/10. A great movie for kids and their dads too. A total bonding time!
