Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve Wetland Centre

ABBEY:

WILL: Okay! Okay! I am preparing myself to test if I am really over with my fear of lizards. Small or big I really have a huge fear and disgust over them. So where should I go to face my fear? At a wetland! Sungei Buloh adventure it is! 

It is early in the morning I mustered and talked to myself that it is only an animal and man have power over them. Haha! What a self talk! On the gate of Sungei Buloh there’s a huge photo of what to expect inside the park and of course, giant lizards were there! 

Upon entering the park, we immediately greeted by a fresh and misty air. Love to be around the nature. The walkway was not that soft as mud. Just perfect for our great adventure. 

Sungei Buloh is Singapore’s first ASEAN Heritage Park. It is popular for birdwatchers so please keep your voice down so birds won’t be disturbed. Please do not litter too! Do not forget to take a photo of the famous observation pods tower of the Sungei Buloh. 

Uh-oh! At the centre of our walkway on the middle of our travel, there it is my ENEMY waiting if I really conquered my fear! Haha! I kept my calm and wait for him to walk to the side of the road. I can look at it for now but I can’t stand a minute beside it. Oh well, who will? Monitor lizards are wild animals! Haha! 

That was a great exploration! Come visit the Sungei Buloh and be succumbed by nature!

The Paddock Bistro - Singapore Polo Club | Lunch Deals

ABBEY: Our table in Paddock was reserved long back even before we knew if I’ll pass my last certification for the year. It’s as if my wife could tell the future. Haha. After two hours of examination I cleared it and when the adrenaline subsided we got ready and head to Singapore Polo Club. We were supposed to seat at a table beside the grass field but there was TV show shooting that time but table beside the pool is also fine.

I had their Polo Club Sandwich. It was huge and has beef pastrami, swiss cheese, ham, fried egg and fries on the side. The pastrami is juicy while the egg yolk oozed out to the bread after I cut it. Overall not too salty and the items went well with each other. I also put some mustard and ketchup to add more flavor to it. And then I washed it down with a rootbeer float.

WILL: Abbey passed a Microsoft Azure test. Woootwooooot! Another technical certification was conquered. And because Microsoft Azure is not his usual database (Abbey is an Oracle SME), we decided to dine to a not usual go to. The Paddock which is located at Singapore Polo Club. The Paddock is open for (non-members) on weekdays so we seized that opportunity for a Friday lunch. 

We booked to be seated at the Chukka Terrace but there’s a tv shooting at that moment so we were requested to be at the poolside. It defies what we want to experience (watching horse while dining) but we are there to enjoy the day. So no issues on that. 

We are just beside their kitchen and I heard that almost of the food ordered coming our from there is a falafel burger. So I also went for that. OMG! Now I know why the guests almost all went for their falafel. It’s patty is very moist. So moist that it crumbles. This is the best falafel I had so far! Parsley and cilantro is not overpowering but you can definitely taste the presence. Really do enjoyed my falafel partnered with my cranberry juice! Yumm!  

That dining is a good experience! Love it and wondering who can beat that falafel! Haha!

Co Chung Singapore - Authentic taste of Vietnam

ABBEY : I lost to Wilma with our Showdown of Generals (mobile version of Game of the Generals) and the wager is that the winner will pick where to have dinner and the loser will pay. Wilma confessed that she really want to have a Vietnamese meal for a long time. So off we go to Co Chung (Plaza Singapura). We had a serving of spring rolls, grilled pork sandwich, and crab paste and pork vermicelli soup. 

The spring rolls are good specially when you dip it in the sweet-salty sauce. We even requested for another round of dip. Our sandwich taste great; the char of the grilled pork and the crunchiness of the vegetables. And the soup will give you the taste of Vietnam. You know it is Viet noodles if it has lime, fresh coriander, julienned carrots and fish sauce. 

I can say that I lost the battle even before it started. Haha.

WILL: Abbey was defeated in our Best of Three for Game of The Generals. The bet? He treats me at Co Chung - Plaza Singapura. I am craving for Vietnamese food for weeks and having BanhMi and Pho at that time gave me a relief. 

Co Chung is not ordinary. The crab and prawn flavour dominated their Crab Paste and Pork Vermicelli Soup! Oh so yummy! Grilled Pork Sandwich fillings are just the same as others but their buns are extra softer. 

Not regretting that we tried this Co Chung at Plaza Singapura. Definitely recommendable! Go and satisfy your Vietnamese food cravings.
