Bee's Knees | The Garage

ABBEY: Our steps were rewarded by NParks through their Coast-to-Coast Mobile App and we got each a cup of coffee for free from Bee's Knees at Singapore Botanic Gardens. We chose café latte and cappuccino. I like the latter for its creaminess. 

I partnered it with Reuben Sliders; corned beef, emmental cheese and Russian dressing. The combo was perfect. We also had a complimentary glasses of softdrink for checking in at their place via social media.

WILL: Bee's Knees is one of the vouchers awarded by NParks on their Coast-to-Coast Trail program. We claimed the voucher when we targeted to explore Checkpoint 1 (Jurong Lake Gardens) to Checkpoint 4 (Adam Road). Adam Road is just few meters away from Botanic Gardens and that is the perfect place to stop, unwind and reward ourselves with sumptuous meal. 


I ordered, croissant with smoked salmon, beetroot and aragula. It is indeed a reward. Salmon has a good portion, combination of all is terrific! The free cup of coffee is creamy. Brunch with a garden ambiance is perfect for a laid back Sunday! 

Bring your love ones here whenever you are around the area. Parking lot is just opposite the restaurant. 

We will sure meet again Bee's Knees!

Chicken Pastel Recipe

Don’t be intimidated by this dish.
It is easy to cook.

Ingredients:
Chicken (parts are up to your preference)
Potatoes (cubed)
Carrots (cubed)
Red bell pepper (cubed or square)
Onion (minced)
Garlic (minced)
1 can evaporated milk
1 can all purpose cream
1 can chicken or vienna sausage
Mushroom (optional)
Cheese (optional)

Pan-fry the carrots, potatoes then mushroom. Once the potatoes become translucent add the bell pepper. Fry a couple of minutes and set aside.

Sauté onion and garlic then add chicken. Once the meat turned brown, add evaporated milk and let the liquid reduce. Mix the all-purpose cream, sausage and pan-fried vegetables and simmer until you achieve the desired cream thickness. You can add cheese.

Serve with freshly cooked rice.

VERDICT

WILL: Ate Sol is asking what to cook on the next event at home and I remembered that Nanay cooked a creamy chicken. And now I know what it was called. The Chicken Pastel. 

My last time I cooked using a milk, it taste like a sweet caramel. Haha. Again, let Abbey do the work at the kitchen. 

When I tasted the sauce! OMG! It is my Nanay’s Chicken Pastel! Yummy, creamy, and taste like cheese! What the!! Saraaap talaga! Cook it now and let chicken reborn a new life!

Aladdin 2019 | Disney Movie

ABBEY: There are “not-too-good” reviews about Disney’s new version of Aladdin. Same story definitely but had twists of course. Yes with an “s”; like how the wittiness of Aladdin asking Genie’s help to go out of the Cave of Wonders. Also how the first scene became like that :)

Princess Jasmine looks more beautiful as the movie progress. As expected, Will Smith delivered on his own way. No one can fill the shoes of the original Genie. Abu, Rajah, Iago, and Magic Carpet have their own funny moments. Jafar lacks a little bit of fierceness though.

Aim to achieve greater heights but watch yourself not to be greedy. And stay honest.

WILL: Do you have favourite cartoons/movies that you always watch over and over again? I have a few! And one of them is Aladdin. 

As I’ve said, I am not fan of love stories but Aladdin the movie gives a twist that makes me happy on it’s ending. What it is? That Jasmine became the Sultan. The position she is looking up to was awarded to her in the end. I like Will Smith’s spin-off of Arabian Nights and the Speechless song added to the list. 

Never fail to mesmerize me, Aladdin! Is Jafar returning? Hmmm??
