Stewords Riverboat - Marina South Pier

ABBEY: It's better late than never :) Due to miscommunication Stewords Riverboat restaurant still gave us the discounted price of their baby back ribs for 15sgd only. We went there two days after their festive 15th year anniversary.


We were warmly welcomed by their staff and led us to our table which is directly opposite of the one we had on our first visit. We were given the menu and reminded that for us the price would still be 15. Two orders of baby back ribs please, tea, and unlimited soda :)

A couple of minutes later, the drinks arrived, then the large plates of pork delight. It comes with fries and house salad. It was so delicious. So soft that the pork is peeling from the bone almost instantly. The sauce is not too spicy nor too sweet. I think I sipped up to four glasses of Coke :) 'Twas a good, romantic dinner.








WILL: Looking for a place to impress your date? A place that you can look over the horizon while the sunshine gave way to a romantic darkness of sky, a place where you can be pacified by waves of the sea while eating a dinner.. do not look any further, its just a bus (bus no. 402 or 400) away from the business district of Singapore. Last thursday, 17/7, we say hello again to Stewords Riverboat.

It's their 15th year anniversary and this time we are there to checkout their baby back ribs. Again, thanks to Daryl,  for extending the discounted price for us. 

I felt the warm welcome of the people of this restaurants. Showed us our seat and immediate ordered for the meat we are longing for almost a week. 

They served their $15($22++ U.P.) baby back ribs with salad and french fries. I do not know what is tge dressing they topped at the salad but its seems so special, the fries is extra crispy. The moment of truth (shocks drooling again just thinking of it, haha!), no effort at all when slicing the meat to get off from the bones. The meat is so tender and juicy. The sauce is so perfect that compliments well to the meat.

Thanks Stewords Riverboat. This is very recommendable. We will see you again for sure :)

BBQ Chicken Singapore - Best of the Best Quality

ABBEY: First of all, I stand corrected, it's not barbecue chicken, it is BBQ Chicken (Best of the Best Quality). All fried chicken are cooked in olive oil. We won 100 sgd voucher and we shared half of the winnnings to our Nanay and Tatay and the other half for us :).
We visited their branch at Tiong Bahru Plaza. 

On the first visit we ordered the Olive+Grilled family combo. It comprises of 7 pieces of chicken (olive luxury, korean traditional charbroiled chicken, Jamaican Jerk Spice BBQ and Hot Hot drum), a set of cheezy fries and coleslaw, and 4 drinks. I took the challenge of having Hot Hot Drum. It has 2 chillis on their menu. And definitely the drumsticks are hot. I managed the spiciness though with the help of my soda. We also topped up with olive rice. It was delicious and tasty.

The next visit is on the same branch and we "take away" the order. We got BBQ wings, Teri Soya wings, Paris chicken, oriental honey chilli chicken and Hot Hot drums again. It was "poultry" picnic :) we enjoyed the savory and delicious chicken. I liked Teri Soya and Hot Hot drums the most.













WILL: Korean wave hit the whole world. Well not just for their blockbuster dramas but they also slammed their neighbouring countries with their fantastic flavored chickens. 

BBQ Chicken run up to the lines of food chains who offers different varieties of chix. My blessed husband won a $100.00 voucher. To share the blessing, we asked our parents' housemate to go with us for a Fathers' Day Celebration. We dined in at Tiong Bahru Plaza branch. We redeemed the first $50 and the second was just used after 2 weeks.

I bet for Hot Hot Drum flavour you will need some extra air and water. Haha. I love it. Next flavour I like is Paris Chicken. Love love love! Hey, they are using olive oil so guilt free on their fried chickens, fries and rice. 

Oh, I forgot, the Korean Pop Group 2NE1 promotes this food chain. If you are a fan, do check this out.

NamNam Noodle Bar Singapore - Suntec City Branch

ABBEY: I used to bring Wilma breakfast items from Vietnamese restaurant NamNam Noodle Bar but I haven't tasted them. I just knew they taste good. I was not wrong.


One afternoon we had snack on their branch at Suntec City mall. For less than 30sgd, we had a bowl of noodle (pho), two 6-inch sandwich (bahn mi) and drinks. 

I ordered sautéed lemongrass pork and cream cheese bahn mi and pho pork balls. The bahn mi is fresh  delicious and flavorful with the herbs used. The rice noodles' hot broth is "comforting" with its rich flavor. It is a bit spicy but I managed to finish it. The pork balls taste good as well. The condiment like the fish sauce and the herbs really bring out the unique taste on the food.












WILL: "You put my love on top, top, top." Every time Abbey surprised me of anything I always want to go to the highest point of the building where I am in just to sing the Beyonce's Love On Top. Haha.. 

I think NamNam is one of the food in his Love list for me, why? He always bring me breakfast from this store. So one Saturday afternoon before he heads to the office, we went here for lunch.

Their branch at Suntec City is spacious but as usual like their Raffles City branch there's always a long queue. We seated and from their big white screen that showed Vietnamese street foods gave me the urge to come back to Ho Chi Minh. 

I ordered Chicken Meat Balls and a Pho Pork Balls for me and Abbey to share. My chicken meatball baguette is so delicious, spicy, sweet, and yummy. Their noodle soup do not need any condiments to be added. The taste is perfect! 

They have a very big serving enough for my tummy to burst but my tastebuds really love the taste so half of my bread was wrapped for take-away. They do not have service charge unlike others but if you want to tapao your food, you will add a $0.50 for it.

Till next time NamNam. Very recommendable.
