Panerai - History and Legend Exhibition Singapore 2015

ABBEY: We were given a guided tour for the Panerai exhibition at Orchard. In it, they showed us the history of the timepieces. They were used on military missions under the sea where conditions were cold and harsh. 

Come the modern day, the 44-mm wrist acccessory got contemporary designs and were used by the public as well. We were also shown the insides of the watch. It is intricate and complex. No wonder the cheapest they have starts at 10k SGD.

WILL: I am mesmerised to have lots of watch. I love to see my wrist wearing a huge watch. And almost of my watches were just gifts. :) 

When Panerai announced that they will be holding a mini exhibition just outside their Ion Orchard Store, I didn't think twice, I urgently booked to attend one of their guided tour. 

After the said tour, it is clearer for me where they were from and who were the first users of the timepieces. After a talk with their watchmaker, I asked how much is the price and I almost fainted. Why? The model I like costs S$35,000. Yes! You read it right. Haha!

I know I can have it. In the right time I will own one. :) Thanks Panerai of the magical tour! 

Spicy Fire Chicken with Cheese (Cheese Buldak: 치즈불닭) Recipe

Chicken breast (cubed)

Korean chili paste (depends on your spice level)

Chili flakes (depends on your spice level)

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp cooking oil

2 tbsp honey or rice syrup

1 tbsp of ground black pepper

3-5 cloves garlic (minced)

2-3 tbsp minced ginger

Or use 2-3tbsp of ginger-garlic paste

Mozarella cheese (cubed or grated)

Mix all the ingredients except chicken and cheese. This is for the paste. Once all the ingredients are incorporated, throw in the chicken and mix again. Put in a pan, and add a cup of water. Then bring to a boil. Upon boiling, lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Transfer in a baking dish and top with mozarella. Put into microwave until the cheese is melted. You can also put in conventional oven.

VERDICT
WILL: Abbey and I love to watch cooking channels at Youtube. Yes! We are punishing ourselves in watching a sumptuous meal being tasted by the cooks. Haha! But Abbey is not only there to watch but also to study how to do those. So last Sunday Abbey cooked Cheese Buldak. 

How good it is? Even it is hot, I ate it non-stop! Creamy, spicy, yummy! This is quite a treat! Love you Abbey! Thanks for keeping on surprising me! 

Singapore Night Festival 2015

ABBEY: Yahoo, another unwinding activity after a day's work. Singapore lit up the night when they launched Night Festival. We went last Aug 21. 

The first performance we saw is Anooki. :) They are performing at the front wall of National Museum. Yes, on the wall. It was a cartoon projection. The Anookis played, ran, and made the wall like jelly. They colored it with red, blue, green and even filled it up with balls. At the end, they whistled to the tune of Happy Birthday greeting Singapore for its 50th.

Then we went to Armenian street. Loud music caught our attention and we saw New Stream Brass Band playing and encouraging the crowd to sing and dance with the beat.

Next is the Peranakan Museum Variety Show (by The Main Wayang Co.). The Peranakans really got the crowd's vibes with their novelty songs. It was fun, cheerful and tiring (as you dance, shout and sing).

Few minutes after the show, we got to see the Spark! by World Beaters Music of UK. I thought they are yet to start their performance but they will be on a break. Luckily, they still beat their percussions and play along with the crowd as they marched to their place. They were all in white. And the drums have led lights. Taking snaps is easy as they got their own spotlights :)

We wanted to wait for Bloco Singapura (percussion band) but it was getting late so we headed home.

WILL: I am always excited once the Bras-Basah-Bugis Precinct will close its streets for annual Singapore Night Festival. Why? It is a feast. It never fails to amuse and make me glad. 

Last Friday, we watched the show of The Anooki Celebrate Singapore. They are so cute. I am smiling from start to the end of the show. It lighten up the mood of every people who witnessed that little Inuits. 

Then, we walked to Armenian Street to check out the New Stream Brass Band. I never get tired of clapping and stomping my feet on their beat. 

Next!!! The Peranakan Museum Variety Show. This is a total party! Abbey and I danced to their songs. 

We were on our way home when Spark (LED-lit drummers) marched towards to our direction. Do not get be intimidated if the first in line drummer is grumpy, because the last in line member is showing off her best smile. Haha! 

Great job Singapore Night Festival 2015 team. Till next year!
