The Bicentennial Experience - From Singapore to Singaporean

ABBEY: Wouldn’t it be nice if you learn history not from a book or in a classroom but in a sensory-immersive experience? That’s why we booked the 60-minute show From Singapore to Singaporean: The Bicentennial Experience at Fort Canning Centre.

It was divided into five parts. First is The Beginnings where it shows how Singapore began and got discoverd by her first rulers. Be thrilled when you see rain go up right before your eyes. Next is The Arrival wherein the period of Dutch and British were shown. Then the Connectivity as Singapore grew as a nation and its evolution. On this act, make sure that you stay on your sit. The Occupation is the darkest of them all literally. You will be in a darkroom listening to the stories during Japanese invasion. At the end is destiny. The last act shows how the rain became part of nation’s history from the first National Day Parade to Singapore Founding Father Lee Kuan Yew’s death.

It also exhibited Singapore’s self-determination, openness and multiculturalism that helped the nation to go forward and grow.

This was indeed a great experience for me to learn more about my host country.

WILL: We love to know the history of just anything. You can lock Abbey and I in a room with documentaries of different nations. On that, we can learn more about nations customs, beliefs and even attitudes. Singapore is one of the best country who portrays and explains their roots. 

2019 Singapore celebrates the 200th year Raffles arrival. Fort Canning Centre was transformed and became “The Bicentennial Experience”. History came to life! Way back 700 years ago. Well, I won’t divulge too much but I learned a lot on this. It is fun as it has actors, special effects and technology involved to get the full attention of the viewers!

Sipo Eggs Recipe

This is very easy. I bet that you’ll be called chef by your friends after you serve this to them.

Ingredients:

15-20 quail eggs (boiled and remove the shells)

10-15 shrimp

1 pack of frozen veggies (peas, carrots, corn)

1 medium-sized singkamas (cubed)

1 can cream of mushroom

Onion (minced)

Garlic (minced)

Heavy whipping cream (optional)

Ham (optional)

Pan-fry shrimp and set aside.

On the same pan, sauté onion then garlic.

Add the frozen veggies and singkamas.

Stir fry a couple of minutes and add the shrimp (and ham).

Mix in the cream of mushroom (and cream) and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Adjust the sauce according to your thickness preference. Season to taste.

Serve.

Sipo Eggs

VERDICT
WILL: This is maybe one of the forgotten meal from Kapampangans. Why? Because Sisig took all the spotlight. Well, let’s cook and eat again the Sipo Egg. 

There’s no special ingredient but you’ll be amazed that for a small budget, you can cook a huge portion of it. Why? Because of turnip! Turnip gives a sweet flavour to it’s sauce. Indulge in beta carotene from carrots and protein from quail eggs! 

This is another meal to achieve for your next potlock or event! 

EagleWings Cinematics

ABBEY: Yey, another premium cinema. We booked a pair of Aladdin movie tickets at EagleWings Cinematic (Gold). They only have four halls. 

The SGD 30-ticket comes with the use of their lounge where they offer unlimited cold and hot drinks as well as massage chairs to relax before the movie. You can also order food you can eat either in the lounge or to be served at the theater itself. I tried their chef-recommended bacon and egg beef wagyu burger (comes with curly fries) and I have a large cup of Coke Cherry-Vanilla from their soda fountain. The patty is juicy and the cheese melted into it and the fries are crispy. We also had gelato for SGD 2. I can say that my chocolate gelato really is “chocolatey”. 

I like to commend the staff as they attended to all our concerns.

WILL: Who loves a dull date? That is the main reason, Abbey and I are always on hunt for something new, something exciting, something that may spark joy! Aside from movie watching in your favourite cinema, why not buy a ticket to experience the comfort of being a royalty. 

Welcome to EagleWings Cinematics. Unlike other premium cinema, their gold/platinum ticket will give you an access to their lounge that serves an unlimited cola with around 40 varieties. Ohhh! I will comeback for sure for the vanilla & cherry and coke. They have free massage chairs too! You want hot drinks? They have it for you. Amazing! I ordered Fish and Chips for my dinner. 

Inside the cinema hall, it is absolutely clean. No foul odours from the carpet or from the seats. The pillows are soft too. It matches the Aladdin movie! We were served with delight. We were treated like royalties! 

Thanks EagleWings Cinematics! Will come back for sure! You are shockingly awesome!
