Wink Optics Singapore - Optometrist, Eyewear (OPTICAL SHOP)

ABBEY: Another year has passed and time for our specs to change again. Since we are getting new every year, we opted for glasses with cheaper prices. 

As long as it protects our eyes from computer radiation, changes the shades when outdoors and of course the right grade or power for eyes, we are ok. We tried Wink Optics (Seletar Mall branch). For a fraction of the cost (178SGD) from our previous purchase, we bought our new set of eyes. And after a week, we are able to use them. 




WILL: Many optical shops are out there offering promotions as part of Great Singapore Sale. And for our annual eye check-up/change specs, it is my duty to scout for great quality for a lower price. Then I saw Wink Optics. 

They are having a 50% off on the second pair and the most nice part is frames+lenses were only $98 and above. 

We headed to their Seletar Mall branch after our hike at MacRitchie Reservoir. Our eyes were checked (nothing changed) and we have some request to the lenses that alters the price a bit. Abbey wants, of course, a transition lenses and I asked for a Hoya brand lenses that will help blocked radiation from computers. 

We were shocked after the computation of the bill. Both of our specs cost almost of only Abbey's spec last year which we got from Owndays. 

Now we're wearing the glasses for more than a week, for me the lightness as a whole is great and the lenses gave me relief on a whole day staring at computer monitors. 

Next time for a cheaper alternative, review all the prices and better get it during Great Singapore Sale time. :)

1/2 cup of olive oil
250g pasta
1 medium sized onion and 4 cloves garlic
1 can Century Tuna Flakes Hot and Spicy
Green bell pepper


Cook pasta. Saute onion and garlic using Century Tuna oil. When onion is translucent add the tuna flakes. After 5 minutes add the Sliced green bell pepper. Pour in olive oil, once simmering put some salt pepper. Add pasta, and blend well with the oil.





VERDICT
ABBEY: Well when it comes to pasta, it is always Wilma. I like the red sauce and that is my favourite. But as per her, we need to have balance. So sometimes she cooks white sauce and recently the olive oil variety. 

The tuna, capsicum strips and the oil blended completely well that a nice aroma filled up the kitchen. Mamma mia, so simple yet so elegant and delicious. If I'm not into measuring my intake, I can finish all 1kg of pasta :) Thank you my baby.

VERDICT
ABBEY: This dish is sweet and light. The creaminess of butter gives its unique taste. 

I was suprised when Wilma made this. She woke up early and I thought she just went to fix herself in the bathroom. But lo and behold, I saw her in the kitchen when I get a cup of coffee. 

Next time we'll try to fry the tofu to the "crunchiest" level. Thank you, my chef.
