Authentic Hermès Bookmark for FREE - Trained by Hermès Artisan Hermès in the Making Exhibit

ABBEY: This is the third Hermes exhibition we attended. But this one really showcased how the products are sourced and be made in to an art. 

I related to the silk screen of the scarves as I did that process back in the days. And they’re doing it large scale and with help of machines. We also saw the ceramic paintings, hand gloves and saddles. They even offer how to stitch and create your own bookmark. And boy, that is no joke but fun. 

The time spent on every product is remarkable.

WILL: This will be our third time to attend an Hermes Exhibit. First was held in Tanjong Pagar Railway Station, second was in ArtScience Museum and the most recent was at Marina Bay Sands Events Plaza. 

Of all, this is one of the most hands-on! We got the chance to mount a Hermes Saddle, color a scarf design, and the limited Hermes-Bookmark sewing session. The artisans are all from France and some of them need English translators. We enjoyed every second of it and we were there for two hours curiously observing.

Thank you Hermes for the experience. Definitely will always be in my mind that someday I will own something from your brand.

ALL YOU CAN EAT Italian Burrata, Mozzarella with Truffles and Porchetta | Luxury Buffet in Singapore

ABBEY: We have a mission coming to this restaurant at Regent Hotel. Basilico offers a buffet of cheese. And not just cheese; we’re talking of burrata, fresh mozzarella and with truffle. And they didn’t disappoint even though the burrata is not that gooey or runny. But still they’re creamy, bouncy and delicious. I ate them with artichoke, cherry tomatoes and asparagus.

Along with that they also have pecorino, piemonte and asiago cheese as well as cold cuts like mortadella and salami and salad.

For hot food we got porchetta, honey glazed chicken, baked salmon, grilled chicken and beef stew. Pasta like pesto, spaghetti with squid ink and beef lasagna are also available.

And to wrap we have a couple scoops of vanilla and chocolate gelato and pralines. 

ALL YOU CAN EAT Italian Burrata, Mozzarella with Truffles and Porchetta | Luxury Buffet in Singapore

WILL: We watched a travel show that showcased how an Italian farm makes burrata cheese and it hit us hugely that we went out to look in Singapore and we found a restaurant specialising in fresh burrata every day. Sadly, they didn’t survive the pandemic era. Gladly, we found another restaurant.

Basilico in Regent Hotel serves not only burrata but an array of delectable cheese! We were there for cheese so once we got our seats, we straight away took cheese, meats, cracker and nuts. Yep! We made ourselves a charcuterie in an instant. Wine please! Haha! We stayed a little bit longer than everyone (as usual) because I want to settle down the main courses in my stomach for desserts but is is a shocker when they serve porchetta. Of course I took some of those! Don’t forget to taste their vanilla gelato and praline. 

Very recommendable for Italian cusine buffs. You might strike a conversation too with their Italian Chefs.

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.

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

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!
