Chicken Adobo with Coconut Milk and Turmeric

ABBEY: Yes, this is a fusion of chicken curry and adobo. :)

Boneless chicken leg (any preferred chicken part)
2 medium-sized potatoes (cut to bite-size pcs)
200 ml coconut milk
2 tsp turmeric powder
1 cup vinegar
1 cup soy sauce
10 clove minced garlic

Marinate chicken with vinegar, garlic, and turmeric; preferably overnight.
On a pan, put 1 tbsp of oil and pan fry the chicken. Save the marinade for later use.
Once fried, put back the marinade and let it simmer for 5-7minutes.
Put on the coconut milk and potato. Simmer again for 3-4 minutes.
Season to taste and adjust the sourness and saltiness according to your preference.



VERDICT
WILL: Are you stressed out thinking what will be your dinner for tonight or tomorrow or on the next day? Well you are not alone, but thanks to different cooking site for us to checkout and try to cook. 

I saw an unsual "adobo", it was mixed with coconut milk and Abbey saw another style that was with curry. So Abbey do what? He cooked Chicken Adobo with Curry and Coconut Milk. The taste is a blast. You will not look for another meal. This is. Total package. 

Looking forward for another remarkable meal with mu Chef Abbey. :)

Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory – Korean Fried Chicken Restaurant

ABBEY: We're supposed to have dinner at another location, but since our hunger requires some big servings we headed to Chir Chir at their branch on 313 Somerset. This is to celebrate the anniversary of our blogsite.


We're lucky enough not to wait in queue and got a table within seconds; because the queue got long a few minutes after we came.
Most of the menu items are for sharing. So better go there with a tag-along. We ordered garlicky chicken and Chir Chir Mi Chir. They said it is for two, but actually it can be for 3 :)

The chicken is crispy and sweet on the outside and moist on the inside. It is mild spicy as well. You can eat this without any rice, pasta, pizza. Just eat it alone. 

The Chir Chir Mi Chir fried chicken tenders were soaked on creamy pasta sauce. It was delicious. We finished the paste and sauce to the last drop.








WILL: Chir Chir is the newest sensation in town. The queue is horribly long and it is very good that  we arrived early. 


They do not have an individual meal so we ordered first 2 sets of food... for sharing. I am expecting that they will serve us a small portion but I am wrong. We were shocked by the size of their servings. It's huge. 

I love their Chir Chir Mi Chir  the sauce is amazingly delicious and creamy. Their Garlicky Chicken is quite spicy but the flavour is just at the skin, the meat is quite bland. 

The price is pretty expensive to battle with many Korean Chicken that is serving a single meal.

NOM - Bistro & Bakery

ABBEY: I first saw the rainbow cake on 9GAG. I thought of doing that but got no time to do it. Doing that is a feat as it will take time to bake seven different colors of cake and then layer them. Grace wanted to have a piece of that cake and planned to have it at NOM (No Other Meaning) Bistro. It is at Macpherson Community Club. The restaurant offers burgers, pasta, pizza, coffees, teas, mocktails and cakes. 

For 14.9SGD I had the Ultimate NOM burger (juicy beef patty, slice of tomato, lettuce and sunny side up egg in between buns with NOM's name on it). The burger came with serving of fries. Great dinner catching up with friends.





WILL: We got an invitation from Abbey's colleague to go to Macpherson to checkout one of the most talked about cafe due to their rainbow cakes. We did not turn down this opportunity for us to taste that cake and to catch-up with friends.

We came late, sorry, and our ordered is already on the table waiting for us. Do not worry, it didn't get cold. I went for its Earth Burger. Oh my gosh! I do not know what they put on portobello mushroom that it tastes like beef. Hmmm. Well I enjoyed every bite of it and most specially the cake.

Their rainbow cake have so many flavors but I went for Salted Caramel. It is not that sweet and it does not need to be flushed down by a coffee or tea. 

Nice and peaceful ambiance and their staffs are ever attentive and friendly! Check this out guys, click here for their menu. :)
