Vision Lab Eyewear at Punggol Waterway Point

ABBEY: The time has come again to change my specs. This is part of my company insurance. We checked the eye glasses shops in Waterway Point and found Vision Lab.

They have promotion for Ray-Ban brand. I got a pair of Ray Ban with Crizal lenses for 290.00(SGD). The product was ready in less than a week. 

I had issues with the fit but they gladly and kindly readjust it for me at no additional cost.





WILL: Isn't grade that most of your insurance will cover all your 'health' needs? Dental, Medical and eye care care is covered. 

For this year, we went for Vision Lab. They are conducting a promotion for their Ray-Ban frames + blue coating and uv protection lenses. For only S$198.00 you can get it with the powered glasses. 

I intend to have a same design of my husbands's frame. Hehe. Couple glasses! 

Vision Lab's optometrist attends our questions and needs with total care. Even a week after they gave us our new glasses, we still went back for them to loosen it up. They done it with a smile :) 

Thanks Vision Lab.

Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei at Tanjong Pagar

ABBEY: There's another restaurant that opened in Tanjong Pagar. Its name is Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei. Boy, that was long. 

It offers Japanese-style beef hamburger steaks. We ordered their main entries. I got Triple Cheese Prime Beef Hamburg set (Keisuke original sauce) for 20.80SGD. The set comes with free flow of miso, rice, side dishes and eggs. 

For side dishes, I liked Sapporo Ramen salad the most. I also enjoyed slices of capsicum and cucumber with sesame dressing. I also had couple of trips to egg station with sunny side ups, omelette and tamagoyaki. 

I was so full after the dinner. Payment was only cash during our visit.

WILL: Facebook is very powerful tool for advertising and no wonder many companies are paying so much money to make their products 'viral'. 

Abbey, who are always on the hunt for new recipes and restaurants to dine, saw Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei. It is the newly opened diner at Tanjong Pagar under the umbrella of Keisuke Ramen. 

Their beef is Halal but they are not yet certified. And their only product in the menu is, what else? Hamburger. I am sorry I do not eat their burger so for the review, please read Abbey's comments on it. 

So how's their unlimited salad bar? Hmmm, salad bars are now a big thing in new restaurants, I am wondering why. Haha! Yup unlimited, my tummy was filled up by their Sapporo Ramen Salad and plain omelette. How I wish they can open a new restaurant that will offer only salad or they can sell salad for vegetarians. :) 

After we ate, the queue is still long. We are all happy in dining in to your restaurant. 

***One more thing that shocks me. Can you please make an effort for the take-away. As I said, I do not eat my burger. And I asked their attendant to kindly wrap it up for me. She declined because there is no container for take-aways. Luckily my husband's lunch box is clean so we just put there the burger steak.

Timbre+ and Iskina Cebu

ABBEY: We had our "barkada" meeting at Timbre+. Chat went here a couple of times but only first for me and Wilma. The night is young and all the people are starting to come from their offices. Most of the kitchen were built in a cargo container. And each of them has colorful designs. The place was well ventilated. The main attraction is the live band. You can send in song requests and dedications. This keeps the crowd engaged, entertained and in high spirits. There is no shortage of choices for food. They have Western (burger, fries, chips), local, and French.

We got our own (Filipino food) lechon from Iskina Cebu. We ordered three types: lechon, liempo and belly lechon. Each costs S$10.00. It was delicious and the dips like soy sauce, vinegar and calamansi, really brought more flavor to it. The meat is tender and skin is crispy. Be sure to order early as the queue is very long.

One remarkable thing in Timbre+ is that you will pay a dollar if you will be given a tray to carry your food. To redeem it, you need to put the tray in the return area. Clever right?

This is a nice place to relax and spend time with friends.

WILL: Abbey's to dine list keeps on growing and we need to shove-off some of our comfort foods just to make way with new ones. So here ye, here ye! Presenting Timbre+. 

Timbre+, located at one-north, is a hub for live music and food lovers. It is like a hawker leveled-up to maximum stage. Haha. Beside food and music you can find there the first and only return tray station. The food stalls will charge you S$1 per tray and you can refund it by returning your tray plus your utensils used. How great right? This will definitely create a good habit to bus off your trays. 

The place caters to much cuisines and I am glad to know that Iskina Cebu is there (Oh boy! I do not need to go to Geylang to visit them, haha!). We ordered belly lechon, lechon cebu, and liempo. Now I am drooling. Each costs S$10 with rice. Nothing beats the skin of a suckling pig Lechon Cebu. Yummmm! Do not forget to take some vinegar and chili for your to dip in. 

After an hour, the band started their first session and it lit up the night away. 

This is such a recommendable place to unwind. Till next time! :)
