BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE SHOP AND FAMOUS CAFE IN SINGAPORE - The Awfully Chocolate Bakery & Cafe

ABBEY: We visited The Awfully Chocolate Bakery and Cafe at Katong. This is their flagship store and we came for brunch. I had their Breakfast Plate that comes with bratwurst, scrambled eggs, pancetta, tomato and arugula and croissant. 

The eggs are creamy and went well with the croissant and bratwurst. I washed them down with classic dark hot chocolate. While eating we keep on seeing orders of cake slices going out. We can’t help but to order their all chocolate cake with scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh cream and we weren’t wrong. The cake is decadent and delicious. 

What you see is what you eat and taste. I also saw the rich chocolate flowing from the tap. Should I try that too? Haha.

WILL: Awfully Chocolate is one of the finest/high level bake shop here in Singapore. They are a local bakeshop that expertize in making chocolate cakes and other chocolate products. Recently they expanded to offer hot meals and as we want to explore Tanjong Katong site, we chopped by to their flagship store. 

It’s late lunch and I ordered Eggs Benedict for SGD18. I am famished that time and because it is delicious too, I only shared one bite with Abbey. I am there because I am craving for chocolate cake and their signature cake with cream and ice cream answers my taste buds' longing of chocalate that us not too sweet and bitter! 

Awfully Chocolate’s Cake is indeed one of the best gift you can give to any celebration. Totally recommended not only for locals but a line of products to be proud and shared globally!

Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen - Ayala Malls Vertis North

ABBEY: We’re looking for a place to catch up with our nephews and nieces and Mama Lou’s provided just that. We talked about their careers and lovelife over dinner. 

We got two pizzas (spinach and goat cheese and pepperoni), three pasta (Vesuvio, ravioli spinach, and truffle) and fried chicken. I recommend Vesuvio not only with the beautiful presentation but also with flavor and the kick at every scoop. The raviolis are creamy and the chicken is crispy and juicy. As with the pizza they are good; dough and toppings-wise. Good thing we went there early before a long queue built up.

WILL: Trinoma is just unlikely to be the same as before. It feels that the mall is gloomy and lost it glory. It is crowded too! Luckily I found Vertis North Mall that housed many new restaurants like Mama Lou’s. 

We waited 30mins to have a seat and immediately order the things that appetized my eyes. For pizza we had Pepperoni and pizza with goat cheese. For pasta we had Vesuvio, Lucio’s Truffle Pasta and Ravioli Spinach. We also had a basket of Fried Chicken. Amongst all, we ordered Quattro Formaggi and Vesuvio! The pizza tastes nearing in blue cheese side. The Vesuvio’s pasta is perfectly standing in a bath of sauce! 

Delighted we chose to dine and have a catch-up with my nephews and nieces here in Mama Lou’s! It not only offered us a good food but a homey feeling too!

Bicol Isarog Transport | Manila - Legazpi - Manila | Skybus with CR

ABBEY: Instead of flying to Bicol we chose the 12-hour bus ride and it is with Isarog Bus (Skybus with Comfort Room). Don’t ask why Skybus when it is only a bus. We preferred to board it at PITX than in Cubao; anyway the fare to PITX is free at the time of this writing and PITX is a newly-built transport hub. 

Not that much feature on the bus aside from USB port, lazyboy-type seat, and CR. But you’ll definitely be able to sleep in comfort. Please do bring your own jacket or blanket. There are stopovers for you to stretch and buy quick snacks. A good feature of the bus is that a beep will sound whenever the speed reaches 80-90kph. With this you’ll be assured that the bus will cruise at recommended speed. 

The 6PM timing really worked for us. It allowed us to sleep almost the whole duration of the trip and woke up refreshed and ready for our Bicol day activities.

LUXURY VACATION IN BICOL REGION PHILIPPINES! Condotel and Beach Resort in Albay and Sorsogon!

WILL: There are two ways for people from Manila to reach Bicol Region… by plane and luckily we can also travel by land. Why we chose land? The simple answer is, it is somewhat hassle free. The early arrival and late departure to and from Legazpi is perfect for us to see and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Mayon Volcano and Sorsogon’s Beach.

So how’s the bus? It is comfy and enough room to recline your chair and fall asleep. The problem is, the air conditioning is too cold for my liking. As in it is shivering cold. The bus has a water closet. It is small, not dirty but there’s a strong smell of urine. So still not advisable to use for ladies.

Will I recommend to pay again more than the plane ticket to ride a sleeper bus? Hmmm. Let me think again. Haha!
