Angelina Restaurant and Cafe in Singapore l Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: Since the start of Christmas season, I suddenly have a craving for a hot chocolate. I picture it hot, creamy, slightly thick and rich in flavour. 

It was satisfied by the signature chocolate of Angelina, L’Africain. But boy, it was priced at 13SGD. It was served on a tiny porcelain jug and whipped cream on the side. The taste of chocolate alone brings back memories and really fits the festive air. Adding the whipped cream makes it more thick and decadent. It is smooth till the last drop. I partnered it with egg croissant with smoked salmon. 

But I’m telling you, the hot chocolate itself is enough. Try it and see for yourself.

WILL: Do you remember my post about the 18km morning walk for a breakfast? No? Please click this link below. Haha! Abbey is craving for a hot chocolate and he is feeling festive so we decided to get one of the best review hot chocolate in Singapore.. the Angelina at Marina Bay Sands. We walked for almost 4 hours. Great right? 

Angelina is a French Cafe and they pride themselves on their hot chocolate. What can I say? Please continue on what you are doing with your creamy, smooth, not so sweet yet not bitter hot chocolate drink. They have a good partnering of black coffee and whip cream. I am awaken on this kind combination.

Their Éclair caramel beurre salé reminds me of eclair candy in the Philippines. Nostalgic and perfect to my black creamy coffee.

Totally a good way to indulge!

Coyote Ugly Saloon in Clarke Quay Singapore

ABBEY: It was my birthday and Wilma came up with an unusual place for dinner: Coyote Ugly. We were there 5PM and yes it was way too early. Haha. 

We got a plate of nachos and a jug of mojito. And for me Hawaiian Time Burger (comes with drink). The nacho is full of toppings and crunchy. My burger is a grilled chicken burger with cheddar and mayo which flows out of every bite and eating is almost messy. And I drown it all with two servings of the cocktail. 

We left after 2 hours when the music grew loud as the bar comes to life. Signs of aging huh?

WILL: It’s Abbey’s birthday and we celebrated his birthday with one of his favourite comfort food. Burgers and fries at one of his unfamiliar place, a bar. Haha!

I saw very enticing $10 promotion of burgers & fries and $35 jug of Mojito. Oh please take note, their patty is wagyu beef! Yeahba!

How’s the taste? Of course not your fastfoods' burger. The patty is thick and vegetable inside is fresh! The bun is soft and dressing binds everything well! The fries is not a fresh cut potato but every piece has its crisp. The pitcher of Mojito will serve up to 8 glasses and damn!...it has a kick! Good to say it is not watered down.

The place is quite peaceful from 5-7 but when the clock passed 7 the music came to life and we can’t hardly hear each other. Well, the night just got started!

Will definitely come back and want to witness the coyotes to dance at the bar! This is a must visit, it is value for money!

Nasty Cookie - Singapore's first NY Gourmet Cookie Store

ABBEY: We had this craving for cookies and we want to get it from new shops. And then we found Nasty Cookies at Funan Mall. The teal-light-bluish shop is selling jumbo cookies. And they come in different flavours. 

We got a box of six and each cookie is individually boxed. How cool is that? Perfect for gifts. You won’t be shy to give it away as they also taste good. We had Choc Chip, Dark Choc Chip, Biscoff Cookie, White Choc Macademia, Oh! Smores, and Cookies N Cream Cheesecake. 

All of them are decadent and will definitely satisfy your sugar needs. As their message on the wall; it is worth every calorie. Haha. Just to give you an idea, a cookie costs almost an average price of a typical hawker dish.

WILL: I am quite frustrated with my latest trip with "chunky" cookie (you know what I am saying? haha) and Facebook’s algorithm worked again and enticed me and Abbey to try the new Nasty Cookie. One of the branches of Nasty Cookie is at Funan Mall. It is quite hidden so take time and patience to find it. But you will never get wrong of the store due to glaring Tiffany Blue color. 

That time they only offer a few selection and I am astounded of the price. It is steep! Haha! The cookie’s diameter is not that big but it is thick. Abbey and I chose Dark Chocolate Chip, Biscoff Cookie, Oh! Smores, Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia, Cookies and Creme Cheesecake.

We do not have a microwave but heat it up using an oven. The chocolate, marshmallow or whatever flavor inside the cookie oozes out with delight. The flavour is intensified by the heat. The dough texture is perfect. Not hard, not crumbly, quite chewy but not so sweet! Blends perfectly on toppings.

Now, Nasty Cookie is my favourite store cookie! Do not skip their Biscoff Cookie & Oh! Smores!
