Captain America: Civil War (Power Plant Cinema - Makati City)

ABBEY: This post is long overdue and I'll tell you the reason at the end of this blog. 

We watched Civil War at Rockwell Power Plant Cinema and it is the last full show. We bought the tickets online and we really appreciate the efforts of the staff for us to have tickets. There were some miscommunication on buying them but eventually resolved. We were about to pay at their office and we were told that it is a cash basis only. Still, the management accommodated our payment thru card as it was communicated before. 

The tickets were reprinted and we headed out to the cinema. The hall is big with enough leg room for me :) Since this is the last full show, and the place is cold and comfortable, I slept half of the movie. I was too tired. But I got a chance to see Spiderman, Aunt May (haha), and Stan Lee (Tony Stank). 

Anyways, we watched the movie again and I can say that the movie plot is already there in Pinoy movies but it's as if new when it was applied in Hollywood. The action and effects are great. Captain Rogers really believed on his friend. Can't wait for the next movie. 

Kudos Marvel and Rockwell Power Plant Cinema Management.





WILL: This is so, so late.. we apologize for that. 

For Civil War movie review, well, it has its continuation. The dust is not yet cleared. 

I want to take this opportunity to thank PowerPlant Mall for accommodating our request. As you can see, we booked our cinema ticket on the first day this movie hits the theater. 

I booked online at Power Plant Cinema and yet they have some problem in accepting credit cards (international or local). Despite backing out, we send an email to inform them about their site's glitch. In return, they help us blocked the cinema seats manually and we can pay when we arrived at the cinema. 

We commend Ms. Julie for treating us as a gold... As a VIP customer. Again, thanks Ms. Julie and Power Plant Mall. You help us make a wonderful bonding time for me and my family.

Simplest Portobello Mushroom Burger Recipe

6 large portobello mushrooms, stems trimmed
2 tablespoons vinegar 
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
3 onions, chopped
fresh herbs 
6 slightly toased toasted buns
6 slices of cheddar cheese

Put a little amount of salt in mushroom and let it sit for 15 minutes. 
Combine garlic, shallot, vinegar, olive oil and a liberal pinch each of sea salt & black pepper. 
Saute the chopped onions until transculent and caramelizing. Set aside. Use the same pan to fry the musroom. 
Fry the mushroom using a little amount of olive oil, while frying, brush on the combined sauce. Fry for 7-10 minutes each side.

Serve hot. 


VEDRICT:
ABBEY: First time we ate this is at Handmade Burger. So we thought of having this cooked at home. 

Wilma showed again her cooking skills. It was delicious. The texture of mushroom mimics the meat. We sandwiched it on burger buns with slices of cheese. Best to eat them hot.

National Gallery Singapore - Reframing Modernism

ABBEY: At last we set foot at National Gallery Singapore during their Open House last June. This is our sidetrack before we go to the Piano Festival at Victoria Concert Hall

We were given a pair of tickets for the DBS Singapore gallery which showcases Art in Singapore since the 19th century. In UOB Southeast Asia Art Gallery, I'm very proud to see Pinoy masterpieces from the likes of Hidalgo and Amorsolo. 

It was a joyous moment. I'm able to see the real thing not only in books.



Supreme Court Holding Area 




WILL: National Gallery of Singapore open its door for free to awe its visitors. 

Our jaw dropped when we saw the masterpieces of well-known artists of our lifetime. I am stunned to see the paintings from the Philippines. Abbey can easily pin-point what is made by Filipinos. I am glad to see some of the works by Juan Luna. One of Philippines' National Hero. 

Bad thing is we are out time to check-out Pablo Picasso obra! 

Thanks National Gallery for this opportunity! This is once in a lifetime experience. :)
