Poinsettia Wishes - Gardens by the Bay Yuletide 2017

ABBEY: Gardens by the Bay Domes displays wide array of plant exhibitions. Great timing for our Papa Boy, the Flower Dome shows Poinsettia Wishes theme. 

We went there by 7PM. You can get a great Christmas feel upon entrance. It is cold, the music is playing, and red and green decorations are all over the place. It’s as if you’re taken to a Christmas Wonderland. 

We took snaps with the Christmas trees, the Nutcrackers, the colorful and beautiful flower and yes with the poinsettias. Don’t forget to look up to catch the “Northern Lights”.

WILL: Papa RS is here to celebrate the birth month of Abbey. Lucky enough, Gardens by the Bay showcases new ornaments inside Flower Dome and it themed as Poinsettia Wishes. 

Of course, the dome was filled with symbolic holiday designs. Tall, real and fresh Christmas trees are all over the place, an array of Northern Lights glimmers above, and of course the star of that place..Poinsettias! There are red, white and pink varieties. My father-in-law’s face lightened up upon seeing those leaves. He can't help himself but to click his camera here and there. 

For sure, you can feel the yuletide season in here. Visit the Flower Dome. This design lasts only until 8th January. One more tip! It is more spectacular in evening.

Food Philo - Build Your Own Plate

ABBEY: We had our lunch date at Food Philo (Changi Business Park) on my natal day. It has a “British-que” feel; with the red bus and lamp post. 

Starting from SGD 13.80, you can choose 1 main entry, and 4 side dishes. I got fried chicken with Mac and Cheese, Compressed Cucumber, Potato Wedges, Chickpea Salsa. 

You need to pay for drinks separately. The serving maybe small but the meal is delicious and packs a lot of flavor.

WILL: 
After Singapore Fintech 2017 blew our mind on the future of blockchain and other security systems, we paved our way to Food Philo; few steps from Singapore Expo. 


They provide "Build Your Own Plate". I went for Pork Loin for my protein, Quinoa for carbo, Onion Rings for side, and Roasted Beetroot and Compressed Cucumber for my vegie. 

So what's the taste of the food? The pork is not that tender, nothing to remember on that main. Roasted Beetrot is ok. But the star for on that dining is the Red Velvet Latte! Yummm! I finished it even before my meal was served. Haha! Onion Rings is crispy and creamy. Not your ordinary fastfood flour-covered-deep-fried-onion. 

Yes! I will be coming back for Red Velvet Latte and Onion Rings.

Duo Deluxe Golden Village - Paya Lebar Laser-projected Movie Hall

ABBEY: Golden Village Paya Lebar boasts its laser projection system and its spacious twin leather seats. So we went ahead and watch Justice League on a weekend. 

Only the food and drinks bought in the cinema will be allowed. 

I thought the seats are able to recline but its not. The space between the other twins are not that apart. I can still feel the feet or maybe the knee of the person behind me. 

When it comes to the projection I don’t find any difference with other cinema. Maybe I’m not just keen into that technology.

Duo Deluxe Golden Village - 

WILL: We are not that bored to the old seat or lazy boys kind of cinemas, we just want to explore new things to serve our readers. So here, we went to the first laser cinema of Golden Village at Singapore Post (Paya Lebar). 

This Duo Deluxe is one of the latest offering of GV! It has leather seats, smooth wooden cup holders and of what they are proud of.. it's laser projected silver screen. 

What can I say? The spacing will not be comfortable for 6-foot cinema goers. I am not sure how tall the person behind me but he always "accidentally" kick my chair. "D" aisle is still too close for me and of course this S$20.00 do not have blanket, nor mini pillow, nor assistant that will serve your food needs. 

Yes! For me, this duo deluxe is expensive compare to the service that offered by The Cathay - Platinum Movie Suites
