2CELLOS - On The Road Tour Live in Singapore 2015

ABBEY: Yahoo, we won. This time it is a pair of tickets for the live performance at Kallang theatre of 2Cellos; Croatian music artists who play, of course, the cello. This is courtesy of The Exchange bar. Just like and share, and lots of luck. 

After their opening of classical music (JS Bach's Air), they told the audience that they can take all the pictures we want during their entire performance. They encourage us to sing ("You can sing if you know the lyrics because we don't know the lyrics :) ) and dance as well. How cool is that? Part of their repertoire is their Celloverse, Thuderstruck, With or without you, and The Book of love. The audience were on their feet when they played Trooper Overture, Highway to Hell and Smooth Criminal. It was unique and electrifying experience. A stringed instrument partnered with distortion and very good players, then it is a party. They ended with another classical, Pachelbel's Canon, and bid goodbye to us. 

Thanks, The Exchange.

WILL: I love classical music, the sounds produces by cellos, violins and magnificent orchestras. And few close people knew that. So when we saw that our favorite bar held a Facebook contest Abbey hit like and shared instantly and hoped to award the pair of tickets. And it is! Thanks The Exchange. 

2Cellos is not your ordinary classical cello players. Well, I knew that because of their youtube videos. But seeing them performing live is different. They are not that formal type of performer. They are the rock-n-roll version of classical genre. It seems that we attended a comedy show and rock and roll concert with a classical music at the end. 

I clapped, I stamped my foot, I holler and most importantly I laughed hard. Thanks 2Cellos for making mine and my husband's night wonderfully. Till next time. ;)

Spicy Cereal Chicken Recipe

3 boneless chicken thigh (cut into bite size pieces)

3 cups of potato starch (dissolved in water for min. 3 hours and then remove water)

5 chilli padis (chopped)

a handful of curry leaves

a pack cereal chicken mix

1/2 cup of butter

Coat the chicken with potato starch and fry (double fry). Set aside.

Melt butter in a pan. Once melted, stir fry curry leaves and chilli padi.

Mix in the cereal until the butter is absorbed.

Toss in the chicken and stir.

Serve with rice and soda.

VERDICT
WILL: Cereals proved itself not to be good only with prawn or luncheon meat. At this time Abbey put it with chicken. 

Crunchy-crunchy chicken inspired by Maangchi + spicy cereals is heaven. Sweetness of cereals, spiciness of curry leaves and crunchy chicken brings perfection to this meal. 

I will surely  asked Chef Abbey to cook this again for us. :)

Mandarin Orchard's Triple Three: Lunch Buffet (1-for-1 DBS Indulge Promotion)

ABBEY: Wow a second buffet in a month. Another cheat day for me, but its worth it. Triple Three is at Mandarin Oriental hotel at, yes you guess it right, 333 Orchard Road. 

They cater mostly Japanese and North Indian cuisine when we visited. But they also serve foods from the West like honey-baked ham, roasted beef and chicken, and barbecued pork ribs. 

My first plate was consist of naan, pappadum, tikka (chicken, lamb and fish). Then I had the Western one. I really liked their pork ribs matching with garlic fried rice. On third trip, I indulged in slices of salmon, and crispy japanese fried chicken. I washed them all down with calamansi juice, fruit punch, and masala tea. Haha. Then I got few cuts of watermelon and a stick of strawberry potong ice cream. 

Since it is a 1-for-1 deal, we paid only 80SGD including GST and srvice charge; usual price is 68SGD.

WILL:  This lunch is to celebrate our investment #7 which occupied almost all of our time from the start of January until first days of July 2015. We know we deserves this. :) 

We reached Triple Three around pass 12noon. After we were escorted to our respective table Abbey and I moved urgently to check out why they were named as one of the best buffet here in Singapore. 

They have Indian and Japanese cuisines and meats, meats and meats. What I love the most in this buffet? All! Haha. But I fell in love with poori, penne pasta, pork ribs, & freshly fried tempura. Even though they do not have a long selection what they served to us was enough to keep us from comparing this to another buffets that we have went to. 

This really proved that you do not need to serve more variants of food but it is about how tasty your it is being served to your diners. 

Hooray! Triple Three virgin no more! Thanks DBS Indulge for 1-for-1 deal.
