Arteastiq De Patio : A Portmanteau of Art & Tea

ABBEY: We went to try Arteastiq. They have these teas in perfume bottles which kind of unique. The restaurant also has great homey feel. I got their cod fish and chips. I was surprised that the fish taste good. Not your usual fish that gets the flavor from the batter. The perfume-bottle tea live to the hype; not only aesthetically but also in taste.

WILL: I got curious on their perfume e tea. So we booked a table.

Haha! Quite fond of burrata cheese lately so I ordered their Peach Spinach Salad. The spinach leaves are quite fresh and their salad dressing is the real star of this food. Burrata is colder than I expect and the inner portion is not that creamy and on its way to be solid. Sad! 

Then the Lychee Ooling Tea! I do really enjoyed drinking this. Not too sweet and lychee do not overpower the tea taste. It is indeed a perfume. The aroma is inviting you to sip more. Haha! It is so tefreshing for the whole body! Lovvve it!! 

Please don’t forget to book a table if you do not want to join a long queue. Tea is well recommended. Thumb up!

PPP Coffee Funan Mall

ABBEY: We were in a quest to go to Tiong Hoe Specialty Coffee but it is out of our way. So we go to the apprentice; PPP Coffee at Funan.

I’m craving for cold brew but all their batches are sold out.

So before ordering we check their beans to used in my own cold brew. Their staff is really helpful explaining to us and advising us what beans we should pick. And our beans is Throwback blend.

We order their version of hot drink and it was smooth and no bitter and funky aftertaste.

The same goes with my homemade cold brew. This is no ordinary cafe. The baristas know their craft.

PPP Coffee Funan Mall - Throwback Coffee

WILL: After our InterContinental Staycation, we headed to Funan Mall for our lunch. We filled our tummy with Little Caesar’s Pizza and went to PPP Coffee to buy beans. 

Before buying the beans, Abbey ordered Throwback Cappuccino for two. It is not your typical lattes you have been buying, it has an extra creaminess and kick of the espresso. You will know that their beans were totally handcrafted and not mass produced. 

Will be one of the cafes that truly stands out. Of course! Totally recommendable!

Marina Barrage's Sustainable Singapore Gallery

ABBEY: We’ve been in Marina Barrage Tour multiple times as we want our family to know how water is being valued here in Singapore. But it was only the two of us during our last visit to the Sustainable Singapore Gallery. Their dam simulation is already outside the gallery. Every visit is always a new learning. And we can see that Singapore keeps on improving and setting the bar higher. The guided tour will explain to you their problem with water and how they combat the hurdle. Sacrifice and discipline play a key role to make solution happen and to sustain it.

Due to pandemic the interactive displays are off limits but our tour guide put a lot of effort to help us understand the programs towards water.

Marina Barrage's Sustainable Singapore Gallery

WILL: Forgot that Marina Barrage renovated their gallery few years back. And upon thinking what are the things we can do or visit in Singapore, Sustainable Gallery popped out of my mind.  The old gallery is not boring BUT the new Sustainable Singapore Gallery emphasised not the problems of global warming but the layout plans for the SOLUTIONS. 

Singapore has difficulty in acquiring a good quality water. Now, Singapore has a tap water suitable for drinking (based on WHO standards). Singapore is lacking of water supplies. Now it has 17 reservoirs! Maybe water source is not enough in the future? There are 2 working desalination (sea water to fresh water) plants and 5 NEWater (recycled water) facilities. 

Rubbish? Heat? Noise pollution? Everything was tackled in the gallery! Please visit them, it is FREE! A good way to learn more about the initiatives of Singapore Government of the country.
