The Game Of Thrones Experience: Worlds Of Westeros - HBO Asia (Ion Orchard)

ABBEY: Winter is coming... Oh no, the sixth season of Game of Thrones will be airing April 26, 2016. And we're privileged that they conduct roadshow at Basement 4 of Ion Orchard Mall from April 2-7. 

It exhibits the storyboards, the sword replica of Ned Stark, the Walker and others. You can also have a virtual reality tour of the elevator of the wall. We're not able to see it as waiting time is almost two hours. A snap in green screen will have you posed with the dragon. 

But for me the most fun part is to have an opportunity to seat in the Iron Throne. Wow, it is great to be a king :)







WILL: The people now are going berserk because the wait will finally over! But HBO & Starhub heightens up the excitement further more by just putting up "Game of Thrones: World of Westeros" at Ion Orchard. 

We went there to checkout the iron throne but they exceed my expectation due they exhibit the actual swords used, storyboards, a 4D wall and a green screen for a photo-op for with Targaryen's dragon. 

Thanks to the sponsors. Can't wait to see the series this month! :)

Chicken and Spinach Stuffed Jumbo Shells Recipe


Garlic and Onion (as you desired)
Tomato Sauce 
Jumbo pasta shells
Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Cheddar Cheese
Spinach 
1/ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
Minced Chicken (marinated in 2 tablespoon of soy sauce, pepper and salt)
Pepper and Salt to taste


Blanched the spinach and minced it. 
Stir fry the minced chicken. Set aside. 
Sauté garlic and onion and add on tomato sauce. Once you see tiny bubbles, turn off the fire and coat the bottom of the baking pan with this sauce.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta shells and cook for half the cooking time on the package. Drain and set aside. 

Preheat the oven for 120 degrees Celsius.

In a bowl, mix together the ricotta, parmesan, cheddar cheese, stir fried chicken, minced spinach add some pepper. Stir until combined. Fill each half-cooked shell with the mixture and place on the coated pan. Top the shells with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese. Cover with a foil and bake for 15 minutes. 

After 15 minutes, take off the foil and add grated cheddar cheese and put back to the oven for another 15 without a foil. 

Serve with tasty bread! Enjoy!





VERDICT
ABBEY: I should be the one making this dish. But I think Wilma got tired of waiting since I've been sick. So she took the matters on her own hands.

I saw her prepare it and she got a hard time in cooking the shells. They were very brittle even though only a couple minutes in boiling water. But she managed to cook them perfectly.

The stuffings is a mixture of riccota cheese, spinach and mozarella.
It was delicious but I prefered its taste after overnight and reheated. The ingredients mixed well giving it a complete taste: sour, salty and sweet.

SO PHO (So Good) - Vietnamese Restaurant

ABBEY: I got fever, cough and cold for a week. Once feeling slightly better after dosages of tablets, I longed for soup. Anyways, that's what the doctor told me to eat. 

I got a bowl of Pho Dac Biet; slices of beef and meatballs in Vietnamese Pho. This costs less than 10sgd. The taste was good and relieves me of my sickness. The lime juice really put the zesty and tangy taste. 

A couple of slurps then my bowl was already empty. The branch we went is at Waterway Point Punggol (01-28).




WILL: Abbey's down with a flu for the second time in year 2016. I do not have time to cook for a soup and the best to do is to buy for take out. At So Pho's newest branch which is located at Punggol Waterway, I ordered my usual PHỞ GÀ and PHỞ ĐẶC BIỆT for my sick husband. 

Their serving is too huge, their soup is pretty tasty and noodles are perfect. Half of my bowl was passed to Abbey, I am so way full! 

This restaurant made to my list!! :) 'Till next time guys! See you again!
