Canton Paradise | Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: We were craving for porridge so we were on a hunt for one at The Shoppes (Marina Bay Sands). A minute after opening, we entered Canton Paradise. It gives you the feel of splendor with their white and bright ambiance. 

I got a bowl of Handmade Meatball Congee and a serving of you tiao. The unique thing with the porridge is they put fresh coriander leaves on top. I didn’t know that it can be a good combination. The porridge rice is so soft that you just have to slurp it like a thick soup. Definitely our cravings were satisfied.

Canton Paradise | Marina Bay Sands
WILL: We are around Marina Bay Sands, and the best restaurant to serve a porridge is Canton Paradise. 

I ordered century egg congee with shredded pork. Gosh! This is the porridge I am looking for. Well, what kind? I like it when the rice looks like just it is out from a pressure cooker. That it seems the water and rice married each other and you do not need to chew. Haha. And take note, you do not need any condiments to enhance it. It has a total flavour. The pork, it is tender. 

Spend your time for a peaceful lunch with the view of Marina Bay. Enjoy life guys!

Fish Fillet Curry Recipe

Ingredients:
Fish fillet (cut into 2x3 inch sizes)
2 eggs
Potato starch (all-purpose flour)
1 tomato (sliced in half)
3 stalks of curry leaves
Vegetarian curry mix
1 medium Onion
2 Green chilli (sliced in half)
Salt and pepper

Make the batter by combining the eggs and potato starch. The consistency depends on your preference.
Season the fillet with salt and pepper and dip in the batter.
Double fry the fish and set aside.

Heat oil in a pan, and add the chilli, onion, and curry leaves until fragrant.
Put in the curry mixture and a cup of water. Add salt to taste.
Bring to a boil then add tomato (eggplant or lady finger), and coconut milk. You can put the fish into the curry or serve them separately. Enjoy with hot rice.

Fish Fillet Curry
VERDICT
WILL: Curry is one of the staple spice in Singapore and of course, we always have a stock of it in our cupboards. I suggested to Abbey to cook fish fillet curry. 

Abbey’s styles it as a separate item. It prevented the fish into sogging. Abbey hit the right mark of spiciness and thickness of the curry for the breaded fried fish. It is totally delicious!  

Hmmm? What will be the next viand for yellow curry? Hehe.

Scoop Wholefoods Singapore: Loose Tea

ABBEY: I got sick almost the whole month of June. I look for ways how to reset my system and build my immune system again. Surprisingly, most write ups recommend to drink tea. Next thing I know, I’m shopping loose tea combinations at Scoop (Tanglin Mall).

I got one for sleep, immunity and relaxation. At first I thought I would not like the taste but I was wrong. With mixture of tea leaves, lavender, spearmint, rose petals and many more, I really enjoyed drinking it and helped me a lot to become better again. Plus they don’t have that burnt taste even when soaked for a long time. We will come back and try the other tea blends.

WILL: Scoop does live to its name and we became an instant avid customer. Aside from Kombucha and Steel Cut Oats we also found loose tea here. 

I am not a fan of flowery taste but Scoop did a great job combining different leaves, herbs and flowers. It is pretty perfectly done! I will not settle for ordinary. And hey! It seems that we save more on this than on our usual bagged teas. 

Visit Scoop! Now! 🤗
