Captain America : The Winter Soldier (2014)

ABBEY: Marvel continues to reveal the only plot that it uses on its comic story or on its movies. 

Since all is well on the world of the superhero, his past will come to haunt him. It turns out that he's buddy that was assumed dead was not dead at all. His enemy will use his buddy to fight him.
On the other side, again, the highest official of whatever institution it is, or the one who is an advocate of peace is the villain. And one of the closest ally/comrade of the superhero will "die".

Fighting scenes will emerge, and yes The Winter Soldier can boast of its special effects and stunts. The "dead" buddy will somehow be trapped on falling debris and he will be rescued as they were friends. They will be saving each other at the end.
People will stay on their sits waiting for the end credit sneak-peek. And The Winter Soldier has two :)

By the way, how can a well-built, tall soldier can hide on his shield so small like that? Oh, I forgot this is not a true story :)



WILL: I asked Abbey to promise me that he will save money for us to see this 2nd sequel on the big screen. From the day I saw the end credits, I'm always on the lookout when will be the showing of Captain America 2. 

Your brain and intuition will be in great use for finding out the truth. 10/10. I want a dvd copy of this.

St. Marc Cafe Singapore - Chococro

ABBEY: This is another variation of "crodo" which started filling up the tummies in Singapore. While crodos/cronuts is circular, chococro adopted the croissant shape. 

The baked good has less butter but has the same creamy chocolate filling. The nuts on top of it makes it more crunchy and munchy on every bite. St. Marc cafe sells it 5-for-10sgd as promotion.






WILL: Hail to who ever discovered the magnificent croissant putting together with donuts. Cronuts hit the shores of Singapore big since last year and the craze until now never mellows eventhough its too pricey. 


St. Marc Cafe's Chococro make a new name on crodos industry here in state city. It is their main product. And when they open up their second store at Raffles City they offered that famous product for $10 per box of 6.

So what is the difference to their competitors? I think this is better. The chocolate inside is more creamy and it was topped with nuts which gave a distinct flavor to the others.

Go grab some of this when you are at VivoCity or Raffles. Try and for sure you will come back for more.

Indian Curry House - Delivery by Foodpanda Singapore

ABBEY: What if you're craving for food but don't know which one is it? Try Food Panda (foodpanda.sg). They will list cuisines/restaurants available in Singapore and from there you can narrow down your search.

We've tried its services and we took order on Indian Curry House. We got chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, and naan (plain, garlic, and kheema). They told us that our food will be delivered by 12:30pm but they were 30 minutes early. The food is hot and "hot". It got me sweating as I munch on naan with chicken tikka. But it doesn't stop me in getting a plate of rice and indulge on the spiciness of the food. 

Food Panda is recommendable if you want to have variety of choices. Order on their website or thru their phone app.




















WILL:  When we received an email from Foodpanda Singapore, I was so surprised, excited and kind of worried for this is our first sponsored review. I asked my husband, what if I do not like the taste? What if the delivery service fails my expectation? So many what ifs and then 10th of April, without any alert given to Foodpanda, we ordered lunch at Indian Curry House.


930am I woke up and checkout foodpanda website. The restaurants were still close, and the fascinating fact is we can pre-order and choose what time we want for them to deliver the food. I put 1130am just in time for our lunch. We received an email for confirmation and a call that they will be late for an hour, we are willing to wait. Our cravings for Indian Cuisine is really kicking in. 

12pm the food arrived, earlier than we expected. After a prayer and some shots, we ate like a caveman. Haha! I love their Garlic Naan dipped in to Chicken Tikka Masala sauce. Its a perfect tandem. The samosa stands-out for its sour after taste. 

Going back to FoodPanda service, they have all types of cuisines in a one roof. So you do not need to jump in and off in any other websites just to look for what your tastebuds longing for. In payment, they have 3 options for you.. Pay by cash, paypal and credit card. Nice, isn't it? You can save more by using some of their vouchers(see photo above).

In just a few computer mouse clicks, food will be at your front door.
