Max's Corner Bakery ™ Delivery - Salted Caramel Tableya Cake

ABBEY: As we're longing foods from Pinas, whenever we have visitors we asked them for a little treat from home. Jhen came bringing a box of Max's Salted Caramel. Cake is not that appealing to me. If there will be other foods, I'll be eating the cake last. But when I tasted the moist but firm cake coated with sweet caramel, it is heaven. Great partner with coffee or tea as well. Thanks Jhen.




WILL: I once used the delivery service of Max's but was not for their famous kare-kare or for their crispy pata but for their cakes. I used it on Mothers' Day this year and all good comments how delicious the cake was pouring on my messenger. 

I had never tasted any cake from them. I got curious and luckily my friend Jhen asked want do I want from Manila for her to bring to Singapore. Without second thought I requested to bring me this famous Salted Caramel Cake of Max's Restaurant. And she did! 

The taste? The sweet caramel that surrounds the tableya chocolate cake inside is perfect! I do not need a tea or coffee to pair it. It can stand alone. Haha! Oh, please do not forget to sprinkle the salt on top of it. 

You can order here for your cake deliveries. :)

LeNu Taiwanese Beef Noodle Bar (Vivocity)

ABBEY: We're hungry and most of the restaurant in Vivo City is jam-packed. The shortest queue that we saw is at Lenu (Taiwan Beef Noodle Shop); maybe 5-7 people ahead of us. We were given seats at the bar after a couple of minutes. 

I got their Chef-recommended item: Braised Beef Brisket noodle. I don't know if we ordered it right or the chef was confused which is which so I got the same soup flavor but different type of noodles. Instead of broad noodles I had rice noodles in my bowl. No more time to argue on sending it back, I'm hungry. For 10.90, it was reasonable. The serving came huge, hot and freshly served. It was flavorful and the beef is tender.







WILL: Jhen is craving for a good noodles since her first day in here in Singapore. So we went for LeNu for dinner right after the seminar. 

There is queue of course but we got our table in an instant because we are willing to sit at the bar. :) 

I ordered their spicy version of soup. The soup is tasty but not that spicy! The noodles are perfectly firm. The serving is greatly big. Recommendable. Value of money! Now I am very intrigued on Taiwan's cuisine. :) Maybe next time, we will visit that country. :)

The Last Witch Hunter (2015)

ABBEY: At last we're able to watch a movie on "Last Full Show" time slot. Started at midnight and ended at 2AM. 

For The Last Witch Hunter, nothing new. I think I've seen the same movie plot but can't remember. Kill the villain, being haunted by that and then later on finds out that he was betrayed by his own friend. And Vin Diesel is already caught with the stigma of cars. Most of the movies starring him is associated with cars :) Nothing much for this movie. 

The cast is great; Batman's Alfred, Fast & Furious, Dom and Frodo :)



WILL: My friend Jhen visited Singapore just to attend the  Global Summit 2015. For so little time, I want her to see the real beauty of Singapore. So I packed her itinerary that we almost do not sleep at all. Haha. 

After the seminar,short walk inside Sentosa Island and rest at home, at 1130pm we paved our way to Seletar Mall to see The Last Witch Hunter at Shaw on 12mn. This is our first time to see a movie at that kind of timing.

So how's the movie? It is the typical "You can't love me but I like you story", typical betrayal and typical secret society. But it is entertaining. 7/10.
