Make the Future Singapore 2017 | Shell Singapore

ABBEY: I saw ads of Shell:Make the Future in YouTube and I told Wilma for us to go there. It was held in Changi Exhibition Centre from May 16-19. We registered for the event and we hopped on to the free shuttle bus near Expo MRT station. 

We were given our ids and all throughout the exhibition you can show support to the ideas by scanning your QR code. Maybe the idea that have the most support will be materialized first. Some of the ways to generate or produce energy is through the wind in highways, or through the panels in the road by harnessing kinetic energy, and by help of gravity. 

It is a mind-opening experience. They also have games like car race using salt water-powered toy cars, making your engine fuel-efficient by collecting the right ingredients, and challenging a wind machine. Food and drinks are available in the venue. Eco-marathon (race cars made by universities around the world) competition was also running in parallel with Make the Future event.

WILL: All I want to do now is work and sleep. Yup! I am too lazy to roam around, to play or just go to the mall that is just merely beside our home. If you will see our calendar this past few months, it is so clear and white. Haha. But Abbey invited me to see for ourselves the Shell's - Make The Future Singapore. 

We got two tickets for free (shuttle is for free too) and we headed Saturday late afternoon and to my expectation not so many people are there. 

I am astounded that there are now new innovations/inventions to harness the power from different sources. Sun, wind, gravity, our footsteps, waves and even salt water. 

I am happy that many people are now devoted to lessen our carbon footprint, pollution and the use of oils. 

Abbey and I is looking forward to apply some of those learnings we had that time.

So Easy Rice Omelette Recipe

Ingredients:

Cooked rice

Capsicum (cubed)

Mushroom (sauted and cubed)

Eggs

For the fried rice, you can put whatever you have in mind; be it pork, sausage, chicken, beef slices. You can put as much as you want.

In a pan, stir fry the capsicums, then mix with mushroom then rice. Put salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

Beat two eggs. Put a little oil in a non-stick pan and make sure to cover the pan. Stove is at low heat.

Before putting the eggs, wipe the oil until only thin layer is there. Put the eggs. Turn of the stove. The remaining heat will cook the eggs. Mold the rice by using a bowl. Place it on the plate and cover it with the egg and serve. Enjoy.

VERDICT
WILL: Abbey advised me to free-up one slot for our weekly menu. So be it. On his off-day, he surprised me with a rice omelette. 

Gosh! The rice is no ordinary and the egg blends perfectly with it. 

Thanks Abbey for this spiced-up rice omelette!

Edge - Asian and Pacific Restaurant - Pan Pacific Singapore

ABBEY: Another night of farewell for Wilma's colleagues so another dinner was setup. I am a self-proclaimed  "adopted" son of Rejoice so I came as my wife's tag-along. It was in The Egde at Pan-Pacific Hotel. One pax is at 83SGD. 

The ambiance got a homey-feel. 

I indulged in sashimi, sushi, Korean food like bibimbap and spicy rice cake. Their bak kut teh has bitter after taste though. 

What I like the most is their grill station. Pick from pork chops, shrimp, and sausages. Only salt and pepper on the grill but you can put sauce like ketchup, soy and vinegar, and mustard. Don't forget your wooden stick to place your order.  

They also have laksa, baked cray fish and pasta. No chicken tandoor when we dined; sad. 

The staff is fast to clean up the plates, so fast that Wilma's office mate was almost shock when her plate vanished in an instant even she is still eating.  

I got a scoop of salted caramel ice cream on a cone and pieces of chocolate rum for dessert.

WILL: It is not a goodbye for three of our colleagues but wish them luck to their new venture. To celebrate that, Ms Ivy booked a dinner buffet at Pan Pacific Edge. We can get to try and put in a verdict on one of the famous buffet restaurant of Singapore. 

Of course, as usual, we went for sashimi and sushi for appetiser. They ran of dipping saucer. It took a while for them to get some of those. 

They have bbq live station. I asked for Pork Sausage and pork chop. Sausage is ok but the porkchop's meat is totally hard to chew. I surrendered the fight against that pork meat on my 4th try. 

Their bulgogi and chili crab is delicious. Do not forget your fried mantau to partner up with your chili crab! 

I requested The Real Carbonara on their pasta station. It was delivered on our table, excitedly I took a first try and frustratingly swallowed it. Gosh! It is creamy but too salty. I tried their lobster and it was bad. It is not cooked nor half-cooked, it still "raw". 

Papadum is crispy and not too oily. 

They have station there that you can get your complimentary tea and coffee. The tea taste is overly soaked. 

I am sorry for the rants but this is not what I am expecting to the winner of the Best Buffet in Singapore for almost every year. 

I do hope that you will take an account for the comments above.
