Damai Spa - Grand Hyatt Singapore

ABBEY: From time to time we need to unwind and get relaxed. So as part of our company's insurance we can avail wellness benefits which include spas. We booked at Damai in Grand Hyatt Singapore. We were given coconut juice before the session and a couple of minutes later we were ushered to our respective rooms. After telling me where to put my things, I took a shower. They have "Japan toilet". The one where the sit is warm and has high-end bidet system with only a push of a button.

The masseur is waiting for me to wash my feet and give them pre-massage. I was also asked what oil they should use. I picked the healing one as it smells relaxing and refreshing. And yes most of the session I'm asleep. The pressure is medium and it is ok for me, not a fan of hard massage. What I liked the most is the foot massage. They were aching before the massage, but after I felt like I'm walking on cushions.

The session ended with a cup of ginger tea so good that we asked for more. The next batch came in a teapot. :)

WILL: If you will search In the internet "Best Spas in Singapore" Damai Spa is always included. For my husband's birthday month, we got to check this out. Haha! 

I booked for a 75-minute Classic Swedish Massage for $234.00 each person. Expensive? Yes it is. This is under Abbey's insurance benefits so we do not worry too much about the price. Thanks AETNA! 

So when we entered the magnificent all wood reception we were immediately assisted to seat, gave us a freezing cold glass of coconut water and we waited for our masseurs. When they approached us, they guided us to our rooms. Gosh! The room is so huge and fancy. Ohh! I love their heated bowl seat. It is relaxing.

In bathrobe, I was welcomed with their foot bath and asked me what oil I want for massage. The massage starts. I requested for more pressure..of course and Ying's (my masseur's name) hand is like dancing on my back...then I fell on slumber. She got me back to reality when she asked me to lie on my back. :) 

Well, the massage is well done. But I regret that I do not have a chance to try their facilities because of our lack of time. 

When we were at reception I asked for a pot of their hot ginger tea. They gladly gave us a pot and 2 teacup. Love to stay in that relaxing place but we need to go for some errands. 

Till next time Damai Spa of Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Hotdog & Sweet Tomato Sauce Recipe

1 pack hotdog with cheese 
1 can of tomato sauce 
Ketchup 
2 big onions 


Cut the hotdogs in three-part. Fry until crispy. Set aside in the pan, sauté the sliced onion for 2 minutes. Pour a can of tomato sauce. Simmer. 

Once you see tiny bubbles, squeeze ketchup as much as you desire (if you want it sweet). Sprinkle pepper and salt to taste. 

Serve hot.

VERDICT
ABBEY: Yes it is like a spaghetti sauce. But this time the hotdogs were cut into thumb-size pieces. I thought it doesn't go well with rice. I even kidded Wilma that we can use pasta instead of rice. But it was good. It is delicious. Another item was added to our menu.

Brazil Churrasco - Barbecue Restaurant · Diner · Buffet Restaurant

ABBEY: It's my birthday and I'm entitled to eat for free at Brazil Churasco at Sixth Avenue. Brazil Churasco offers a buffet of succulent meat cuts.

We were warmly welcomed by their staff and ushered us to our table. Since it is our first time going there, they explained to us what is offered on that day. We were told to go easy on salad and appetizers for us not get full easily. They have wide range of selection in the salad bar like tuna, olives, pickled green chilli and cherry tomatoes. We also have creamy pumpkin soup and bread.

A couple of minutes we're sitted, then the main courses came one by one. First off is the turkey ham and pork sausage. Still munching on those then beef short ribs landed on our plate. After that came the smoked duck breast and the chicken hearts and liver. We dipped those in vinegar with cubed onion and capsicums. The beef hump is garlicky and I liked its taste and texture.

What I liked the most is the beef topside. Since it is my natal day, I can consider it as cheat day. The fat of freshly roasted beef runs thru the tender medium-rare meat. I think I had 3-4 servings of that. The last one I partnered it with garlice rice (tapsilog ala Churasco).

Thanks Brazil Churasco for sumptuous food you gave us. 

WILL: Happy Birthday Husband!! :) It's Abbey's birthday and I am on a hunt where we can have fine dinner in a decent place but with reasonable price. Haha! 

I am always eyeing for Brasil Churassco eversince they held a free dinner for the first callers on their anniversary. Well, I am not so lucky to have a free dinner that night, haha. But when they announced a free dinner for birthday celebrators well, I got to take that chance. So this dinner awarded Abbey a free-of-charge dinner buffet. ;) 

So what Brazilian Churrasco Buffet is all about? It is a buffet of barbecued meats. From pork, beef, lambs and fish, how about barbecued  pineapples and chicken heart? Haha. I am so glad to taste their beefs! It is tender, juicy and the milky taste is there. We are not usually eating rice when we were at buffets but meat are so yummy to pass the opportunity. Haha. Drooollll!

We will surely be coming back in here. Specially now, Sixth Avenue MRT is now up, Brasil Churrasco is just steps away from that train station. 

Kuddos to all the ever-smiling staffs that do not get tired rounding our table for meat. 

Do not forget to pair up your meat with wine guys!
