Kotobuki Coffee at Wisma Atria Orchard

ABBEY: We had our lunch date at Kotobuki Japanese Restaurant. A lunch set starts at SGD 9.90 with free flow of salad, coffee and tea. 

I ordered Yakiniku Don; sliced pork rice bowl. The sweet teriyaki sauce runs through the meat and into the rice. This goes well with shredded cabbage, cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinegar as side dish.

WILL: After my session on underarm IPL, Abbey and I went to Wisma Atria for our lunch. 

A big banner at the escalator advertises that Kotobuki having a set lunch for S$9.90+ with free flow of salad, tea and coffee. Well, who will not grab that deal right? 

Before Katsu Jyu was serve on my table, we straight away go to the salad table and I fell for in love with their potato salad and marinates seaweeds. My tummy became full in no time. 

For Pork Katsu , the rice is amazingly heavy and the Pork Katsu is tender enough and you can swallow by two or three chew. Haha! 

This is a little bit too much for about S$10. Thanks Kotobuki. Definitely recommendable.

PappaMia (Changi Airport Terminal 1) - Singapore

ABBEY: Before NEM PH team head back to Philippines we spent lunch with them at PappaMia (Changi Airport Terminal 1). 

The restaurant offers Western, Malaysian and Singaporean foods. 

I had fried rice with egg and chicken. The serving is big and made me full. We also have chicken skewers and I can tell you that they are spicy. But I like it. You can still taste the savory chicken even your tongue is little numb :)

WILL: At Changi Terminal 1, Abbey and I meet for the last time the NEM Philippines team before they head back to Manila. 

We ate lunch at PappaMia and I chose to have Tom Yam Seafood Noodles!

The sour aroma of the soup will make you drool but you will be surprised to taste that the sourness is just enough to balance everything in the bowl. Spicy? Not that remarkable. But the whole bowl is a total healthy meal. Carbo and protein is there! 

It costs $9.90. Well, if you want a non-fastfood and tummy-filling meal at Changi Terminal 1, dine at PappaMia

Gourmet Tuyo (Dried Herring) in Olive Oil

ABBEY: We happened to have a good amount of tuyo (herring) after our vacation. Thanks to our family and friends for the pasalubong. And recently we started to cook dishes with gourmet tuyo and it cost 300 to 500PHP per jar. We thought why buy it when we can try to make it.

10-15 pcs tuyo (fried then fillet)

1 cup olive oil

1 1/2 cup vinegar

1 bulb garlic (chopped)

2 medium chili padi

sugar

salt

In a pot, heat the oil and then sauté the garlic.

Put in tuyo and chili.

Add vinegar and simmer for a couple of minutes.

Put sugar and salt according to your preference.

Gourmet Tuyo (Dried Herring) in Olive Oil

WILL: A humble "tuyo" can be oh so glamorous and expensive. Haha! 

My father gave us 4 packs of dried herring and Abbey got an idea. Why will we buy an expensive gourmet tuyo if we can make it for ourselves. He dove on Youtube videos and te-ne-nen!!! Gourmet Tuyo!

It is not salty, it is not that spicy but the olive oil and vinegar gave a good taste! Manyaman! Eat with steaming hot rice. 

Oh! One more thing, for sure there will be oil leftovers. Go on and have an aglio olio pasta!
