SYLOG - Singapore - Food Stand, Filipino Restaurant

ABBEY: Tapsilog (TApa (cured beef) + SInangag (fried rice) + itLOG (fried egg)) is of the favorite breakfast of Filipinos. So aside from tapa, it evolved. A lot of "silogs" were born. Tosilog (tocino- sweet cured pork), chiksilog (fried chicken), spamsilog (Spam luncheon meat), and many more. 

And it is a good news when I learned that it is here in Singapore. Sylog offers the breakfast treat all day long. It is located at Food Junction of Century Square Mall at Tampines. I got Tosilog for 6.50SGD. It comes with soup, lots of dipping sauce (spicy vinegar/soy sauce, lime, Mang Tomas) and slices of cucumber and tomatoes. The rice has a garlic-rich taste which I really enjoyed together with the cured pork and egg. The sour soup washed it all and dinner is finished in no time.

WILL: This is one of diners on Abbey's list. After our Investor's First Open Forum we headed to Century Square's Food Junction to look for Sylog. We found its stall and ordered their famous LiempoSylog.

Their soup and mouth-watering garlic rice complements well with the fried pork (liempo) that is well submerged on their vinegar.

I will positively recommend their food! C'mon mga kababayan! Go visit them when you are at Tampines area. 

2015 FORMULA 1 SINGAPORE AIRLINE SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX

ABBEY: Another F1 season came in Singapore from September 18-20. We bought Bay Grandstand tickets for the whole 3 days and we saw some actions on Turn 18. The qualifying rounds for the Formula 1 cars was exciting as Sebastian Vettel finished a lap with 1 minute and 44 seconds. Though he didn't matched that record on Sunday night's race, he still proved that he is the champion of Marina Bay circuit. He managed to maintain the lead until the end.

For the concert line up, it was great. Pharell on Friday, Maroon 5 got the crowd singing and dancing on Saturday and Bon Jovi capped the event on Sunday.

Room for improvements and I hope Singapore Airline F1 committee will look into it.

1. Please open the track as soon as the race ended for the people to go to Padang stage. Bon Jovi was already on the middle of his concert when we arrived there.

2. When opening the track, I mean open the track in Turn 18 so the people can pass thru the Esplanade (under the bridge) just like the earlier years. What happened is that the people are routed to Esplanade bridge itself. And they have to go thru the fences or camera slots just to go in the concert ground. This is very disappointing. Adding to that the marshal is telling that that is not allowed. When he was asked where should the people go, he became silent.

3. Have Fanzone bands like the one when Singtel is the promoter. This will ensure that the ticket holder can enjoy both the race and the concert in the fanzone. This year, the patrons will have to decide if they will watch the race on their seats or wait for 7 hours for the concert in Padang just to get a good position.

4. Have more promotion/contest for ticket upgrades. The contest that I saw was only to have 1 pair of ticket to be upgraded, unlike other years where the all the tickets that you bought will be upgraded.

Hoping to get some improvements in future races. More power Singapore GP.

WILL: Nothing's gonna stop the roaring and revving machines of Singapore Grand Prix 2015. Yeah even haze can't stop people in merrymaking. 

This is my third time to watch this yearly phenomenal event here in Singapore and it just getting bigger and better. So what are the things that they made it more exciting for 2015? First of all is the list of main stage performers at Padang Stage. For three consecutive nights we were treated with famous singers from Hollywood. Pharrell Williams touched the stomping feet of teenagers. Maroon 5 make the girls scream and Bon Jovi makes our hands swayed up in the air. All generations were touched by F1 2015. 

How about the race? Not so many action as expected to Mercedes Benz. You can observe that Anti-Red Team is bored while they are watching Vettel leads the parade of racing cars. I think Vettel can drive in Singapore's Night Track even his eyes were closed. Haha!

On my third time to attend this, I assessed that I am more on to watch the actual race itself than to attend the concerts. Haha! I am converted now. 

Long Live Singapore GP. Hope to have an access again to Fan Stand by next year! :)

Kenny Rogers Roasters Great World City

ABBEY: From time to time we became homesick and we crave for food back at home. Yes there are fastfood in the Philippines that are also here in Singapore but the taste isn't the same. Maybe I just want the Filipino-version of that :) 

We came to know of Kenny Rogers and headed to Great World City. What we want the most? Their muffins. Unfortunately, Wilma wanted it more than me so she hoarded all the muffins we ordered to herself. We had quarter chicken platter with 2 sides (corn nibbles & mac & cheese) and a muffin for 18.90SGD. 

The taste is the same; it is delicious. The chicken is roasted well; no blood or undercooked meat. I hope they can lower the price.

WILL: I am watching a tv series and one of the character blurted out the corn muffin of Kenny Rogers and boom..my brain exploded and longing for the taste of it. 

Grabbed my phone and searched for Kenny Roger's Singapore branch and Great World City came up. Before our Saturday Singapore GP event, we went here for lunch. 

We all ordered Kenny Quarters and I grabbed all their muffin from their plates. Haha! I ate one, and I packed the rest. Gosh, every bite satisfies my cravings! The crusty texture outside plus the foamy bread inside. Oh! Yeah! The chicken! It is nice but pretty expensive. Macaroni and cheese taste is impressively good! 

I will be back for muffins for sure. :)
