Artea SG - Tea and Pancake

ABBEY: Artea’s mango milkshake has the closest taste of Philippine mango. It has the right ratio of mango ang milkshake thus they are not overpowering each other. Not too sweet as well. 

Unfortunately they ran out of their famous soufflé. Anyway we got the drink one for one.

Passion Mango and Fresh Mango Milkshake 

WILL: Totally recommended by my foodie ex-Boss, Ma’am Ivy and we really did make way just to taste it before the buy-one-take-one promotion ends. 

Abbey tried the Fresh Mango Milkshake and I dared myself for a cup of Passion Mango. If! Yes if! If you are not fond of sour taste, do not waste your money in this drink, but if you are like me, who recharges itself on sour food, go for it! It’s sour taste is refreshing and feels like packed with Vitamin C. Mango tidbits gives a hint of sweetness. 

I will definitely go back in here, a good alternative for any other cafes. 🤗

Mercure Singapore On Stevens

ABBEY: We booked a night’s stay at Mercure Hotel on Christmas Eve. Good to hear when the staff told me that our room was ready for early check-in. Yey. The room was not that big as well as the toilet but the sheets and bed are clean. It has a gym with most of the basic equipments and two pools (lap and infinity).

We had our dinner at one of the hotel restaurants, Winestone. I enjoyed ham, chorizo, olives, a glass of red wine while listening to their live band.

The buffet breakfast is on that same restaurant and I had a couple of plates of bacon, eggs, bread, prata, idli and vada.The hotel is nowhere near a shopping mall or convenience store but 

they have shuttle service. Just hop on.

WILL: Abbey chose to celebrate the festivities in a hotel staycation. To get a satisfying rate, I browse booking.com and I hooked it up with Abbey’s Shopback Account. Discount + shopback is truly glorious! Haha! We booked Mercure Singapore On Stevens for 2D1N $221 inclusive of breakfast, from 24th - 25th December. 

The room is small for my expectation there is no desk for your laptop, only a small dresser, not advisable for business travellers. The bed looks, smells, and feels clean but I found four (yes counted it) big black ants on it. You can have an access on their lap pool, infinity pool and gym.

For dinner we went for Winestone. Ordered Plant Base Burger (S$19) and it made my eyes glistening. Their vegan burger is a winner. The taste and texture is totally different. It totally taste like meat! My brain can’t fathom how they do that specially the “fibre” of it. Oh darn! That night, there’s a band playing. Magical night. Got a discount by buying a FAVE voucher. Wink-wink. 

On our breakfast, it is still in Winestone! I indulge on their crispy pork bacon! Soaked prata in curry sauce and mix it with mint is heavenly! Yum! They offer a hot noodle soup too! Not a huge array of choices but all in there is enough for me. 

Another experience to be grateful and remembered.

Stärker Concept Punggol Restaurant

ABBEY: We happened to pass by this restaurant when we jog and wonder when we will dine in there. It was on New Year’s Eve. I felt the festive spirit upon going in. A live band plays their repertoire, kids playing “water” pong, and each guest is with their loved ones. 

I had Smoky BBQ Pork ribs. It was indicated in the menu that it was a half slab but it look like a whole one when served and it also came with fries and greens. The ribs are peeling off the meat and the meat is tender. I like it to dip in the truffle mayo sauce. I also have some of pork sausage which taste really good. 

Oh, did I mention that 20SGD was taken out of our bill? That’s how Starker celebrate the holidays.

WILL: We maximise the time left on 2018 and we decided not to cook and just go out and celebrate the New Year’s eve at Starker. 

It will be a year of the pig and we indulged in pork varieties in Starker Punggol. Haha! Abbey ordered (B01) My Favourites and I attended my pork sausage cravings! 

It is not the ordinary sausage from your grocery stores. The meat and fat was perfectly packed. The pepper is not overpowering and the Truffle Mayonnaise dip make it more special. One is enough to fill my appetite. 

Figured out that Starker Punggol have a S$20 promotion, we availed it. Do not fret, they have new promotions now and then. 

Punggol/Sengkang residents, this is a hidden gem at WaterwayPoint! Live band, drinks and be merry!
