Chinese Medical Centre - 1-Hour Full Body TCM Massage under FAVE

ABBEY: Wilma is having back pain and this time we opted to go for a Traditional Chinese Medicine massage. We went to Chinese Medical Centre for an hour of full body masaage. 

Our schedule is at 6PM but got delayed for 20 minutes. It’s worth the wait. The masseuse's hands ate heavy and really relieved my muscles from tension. I was kneaded with elbows amd knuckles. It’s painful but good. Ready to tackle the week ahead.

Chinese Medical Centre - Punggol Plaza Branch

WILL: I went back here in Singapore with a severe backpain (left area). I know, I know. Why I went back without seeing a masseuse in Manila. I ran out of time, huhu. Tell you..I know this is not an ordinary pain. All I know is I want to see a Chinese Doctor. Hahaha. 

Another hurdle aside from time, Abbey's insurance is not yet out and I do not want to pay enormous amount, so who I gonna call? FAVVVEEEE! HELP!!! Haha! 

Saw an hour of TCM Massage at Chinese Medical Centre and they have a branch at Punggol Plaza! Nice! Bought and booked immediately! 

How's the massage? Totally different! It feels like every strand of my muscle was kneaded. And the masseuse always asked and caught me lying. Hahaha! All I care about is my left upperback but she found and I realized that there's some distressed part of my body too! I asked her if she can give me acupuncture, but she resisted and advised me to have a cupping instead. 

I am agitated to that process. Why? I can't breathe whenever the cup was placed on my skin. As it is sucks all the oxygen in me. Haha. But I need to bare that anxiety. So I relaxed myself by breathing in and out. And on many attempts on that, I finally quiet my brain and make it understand that this is for my sake. 

After 10mins she blurted out. "Oh my! So black! Is this your first time?" Imagine? She described my back "black" in color. 

After, the session, I felt so tired. Haha. It seems someone beat me! At home, there is no position for me to be comfortable. Seriously, how can I get a sleep? But maybe because inside, my body is doing a repair. I drifted off. 

The next day, I felt better and the cracking sound at my left upper back and arm is lesser. 

I will come back for another TCM once Abbey and I already have our ID for our insurance. 🤗

Thanks FAVE for relieving my "stingy" anxiety and Chinese Medical Centre for alleviating the backpain!

Istana Heritage Gallery

ABBEY: After a hearty lunch at Orchard Central, we went to Istana Gallery. This is for guests who cannot visit Istana on the Open House. It showcases the gifts given by other foreign leaders as well as their signed cards when they came to Singapore. 

You can buy souvenir items and the proceeds will go to the President Challenge which aims to help the less fortunate and building social entrepreneurship.

Istana Gallery is just the opposite of Istana itself. It is free of charge and you can learn the history and functions of Istana, past emblems and the charity institutions the President is helping. 

This will not take so much of your time. Visit and feed your mind with Singapore's History!

K.COOK Korean BBQ Buffet (Orchard Central)

ABBEY: Medel gave his own “send-off” party at Kcook Korean buffet. That’s how “galante” he is. 

As the name of the restaurant, it serves Korean cuisine. They have spicy rice cakes, glass noodle, gimbap, and kimchi. The barbecue items include marinated pork shoulder, pork belly, chicken, bacon, shrimp and ribeye steaks. Squid, shrimp, and vegetable tempura were also available. Salads, noodles, soup, and free flow of drinks can be enjoyed as well.


WILL: We celebrated a new chapter of life for Abbey and Medel. For 9 years, finally, they were now a regular employee of one of the biggest bank in Switzerland. Thanks Medel for the treat! 

KCook is the witness of our joy that day! I am surprised that Kcook have a lot of choices despite of its very affordable lunch buffet rate which is inclusive of soda and ice craam. 

So what's the best I have tasted there? Well, they have this marinated porks that no need any sauce to be perfect. Then, the kimchi that is not overpowering and quite a good selection of tempuras. 

If you enjoy to cook your food. Please do visit Kcook. One of the cheapest buffet at Orchard.
