Disney - Maleficent Premiere Night (Singapore)

ABBEY: Once again, thank you Nuffnang for the pair of tickets.

SPOILER ALERT: This movie will change your perception regarding the evil witch and on the whole fairy tale.
The portrayal of Maleficent by Angelina is superb. It is just like the animated movie came to life. The soft side of the "fallen" fairy was shown as well as why she got angry with humans resulting in seeking her revenge.

Is it just me or Disney is setting the trend that "Prince Charmings" are not needed to give the one true love? They started on Frozen, now on Maleficent.




WILL: I am not your typical girl who loves "and they live happily ever after". I am a villain-enthusiast. I am more interested on the exciting lives of the people behind the miserable, sad, and boring life of princesses. 

When Disney Studios introduced the Maleficent trailer starred by Angelina Jolie, all I do is count days on its showing date and wait for Nuffnang to give a pair ticket for us to attend its premiere night. Lo and behold, we won a ticket for 3D, premiere night at The Cathay.

It's all about the truth behind the unforgivable mistake done by a person you love. Revenge. How true love voids curse. 

Again, good movie Disney..

7Adam Gallery Restaurant (A Celebration of Food and Art)

ABBEY: Having different working schedules is a tough one. But it is great that my wife is good in managing our time. Like the brunch we had at 7Adam. 

Since I'm on the second shift, the only "we" time we had is a brunch. She won an online contest which entitled her to select one entry on the menu and have it for free. Yes, I got to pay for my order. 

I had burger sliders. The wagyu beef patty is sandwiched with greenies, tomato and pickles. The taste is the same as our "lumpiang shanghai" back in Philippines. Weird but true. 

7Adam is located at, as you guess, 7 Adam Road on a white colonial house.















WILL: "No food and drinks allowed". This is the sign you will usually see at museums and art galleries. Well, isn't great dining while you are in midst of work of arts? 7Adam fulfilled my fantasies...

Before the month of May ends, husband and I redeemed the voucher we snatched when 7Adam held a brunch giveaway. Again big thank you 7Adam

From Farrer Road Mrt, we took Bus 165 and alighted in front of a white colonial house. We went inside and amazed by the big chillies dispalyed. We paved our way to the second floor and more work of arts like painting and carvings greeted us.  We were guided to our seats just beside a window, so romantic!!! The ambiance is so serene and elegant.  

For the food, I ordered 7Adam Hearty Breakfast. I like my eggs to be poached and additional basket of breads. The food is a typical american breakfast, the extraordinary is their melted butter on the side where you can dip everything you want with it. 

Food + work of arts = Awesomeness.

Thanks 7Adam for the free brunch ;)

Slow Fried Chicken with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

2pcs Chicken Fillet
Salt
Pepper
Paprika
1 can mushroom
1 pack cooking cream
Garlic 
Onion

Dry marinade the chicken with pepper, paprika and garlic for 12 hours. Fry in a low heat. 

Sauté garlic, onion, and sliced mushrooms. Once caramelized, pour in the cooking cream. Let it simmer.

Put the mushroom creme on top and serve with hot rice.




VERDICT
ABBEY: Wilma again waved her magic sandok to come up with this recipe. The food is delicious. The cream really went well with the chicken. The soft texture of button mushroom gave more variation on each bite. Maybe next time she'll perfect the cream to gravy-like viscosity.
