Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei at Tanjong Pagar

ABBEY: There's another restaurant that opened in Tanjong Pagar. Its name is Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei. Boy, that was long. 

It offers Japanese-style beef hamburger steaks. We ordered their main entries. I got Triple Cheese Prime Beef Hamburg set (Keisuke original sauce) for 20.80SGD. The set comes with free flow of miso, rice, side dishes and eggs. 

For side dishes, I liked Sapporo Ramen salad the most. I also enjoyed slices of capsicum and cucumber with sesame dressing. I also had couple of trips to egg station with sunny side ups, omelette and tamagoyaki. 

I was so full after the dinner. Payment was only cash during our visit.

WILL: Facebook is very powerful tool for advertising and no wonder many companies are paying so much money to make their products 'viral'. 

Abbey, who are always on the hunt for new recipes and restaurants to dine, saw Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei. It is the newly opened diner at Tanjong Pagar under the umbrella of Keisuke Ramen. 

Their beef is Halal but they are not yet certified. And their only product in the menu is, what else? Hamburger. I am sorry I do not eat their burger so for the review, please read Abbey's comments on it. 

So how's their unlimited salad bar? Hmmm, salad bars are now a big thing in new restaurants, I am wondering why. Haha! Yup unlimited, my tummy was filled up by their Sapporo Ramen Salad and plain omelette. How I wish they can open a new restaurant that will offer only salad or they can sell salad for vegetarians. :) 

After we ate, the queue is still long. We are all happy in dining in to your restaurant. 

***One more thing that shocks me. Can you please make an effort for the take-away. As I said, I do not eat my burger. And I asked their attendant to kindly wrap it up for me. She declined because there is no container for take-aways. Luckily my husband's lunch box is clean so we just put there the burger steak.

Timbre+ and Iskina Cebu

ABBEY: We had our "barkada" meeting at Timbre+. Chat went here a couple of times but only first for me and Wilma. The night is young and all the people are starting to come from their offices. Most of the kitchen were built in a cargo container. And each of them has colorful designs. The place was well ventilated. The main attraction is the live band. You can send in song requests and dedications. This keeps the crowd engaged, entertained and in high spirits. There is no shortage of choices for food. They have Western (burger, fries, chips), local, and French.

We got our own (Filipino food) lechon from Iskina Cebu. We ordered three types: lechon, liempo and belly lechon. Each costs S$10.00. It was delicious and the dips like soy sauce, vinegar and calamansi, really brought more flavor to it. The meat is tender and skin is crispy. Be sure to order early as the queue is very long.

One remarkable thing in Timbre+ is that you will pay a dollar if you will be given a tray to carry your food. To redeem it, you need to put the tray in the return area. Clever right?

This is a nice place to relax and spend time with friends.

WILL: Abbey's to dine list keeps on growing and we need to shove-off some of our comfort foods just to make way with new ones. So here ye, here ye! Presenting Timbre+. 

Timbre+, located at one-north, is a hub for live music and food lovers. It is like a hawker leveled-up to maximum stage. Haha. Beside food and music you can find there the first and only return tray station. The food stalls will charge you S$1 per tray and you can refund it by returning your tray plus your utensils used. How great right? This will definitely create a good habit to bus off your trays. 

The place caters to much cuisines and I am glad to know that Iskina Cebu is there (Oh boy! I do not need to go to Geylang to visit them, haha!). We ordered belly lechon, lechon cebu, and liempo. Now I am drooling. Each costs S$10 with rice. Nothing beats the skin of a suckling pig Lechon Cebu. Yummmm! Do not forget to take some vinegar and chili for your to dip in. 

After an hour, the band started their first session and it lit up the night away. 

This is such a recommendable place to unwind. Till next time! :)

i Light Marina Bay Singapore 2017 + GastroBeats + Carnival

ABBEY: I'm excited to see what iLight 2017 has to offer so we headed to Marina Bay and check it. We were able to see the following light installations:

Ocean Pavilion - made up of repurposed water bottles with LED lights.

Home - house frame traced by lights.

Light Network - abstract flow of light that resembles a network.

Moonflower - artificial flowers being lit up by solar cells in its center.

Northern Lights - strings of LED light in tubes that mimics the Aurora Borealis

The festival also offers gastronomical treats for the guests. At Gastrobeats, enjoy and indulge in delicious foods while being entertained by live performances. I got Street Food Circus' fish and chips with butterscotch beer sauce. The queue for this is so long. I hope they can improve their service to cater more customers and deliver their food items faster. To the owner of Street Food Circus: It doesn't make sense to let the staff wear a tube top and lifting it up every a couple of seconds. It is a waste of time instead of serving the orders.

WILL: First of all, if you want to enjoy, read and learn all the displays in ILight, do not go on Saturdays. Reality strikes when we reached the Marina Bay and there is a lot of people already roaming around waiting for the displays to lit up! 

It is hard to take photos or videos that will not capture any face. Haha! 

The iLight now is more creative than before and more interactive. This event was enjoyed not only by young but also the adults. 

If your tummy is grumbling, do not expect a short queue at GastroBeats which ate up all our time in. We queued for more than 30minutes to give our orders and more than 45 minutes to our food at Street Food Circus. I got a fast Burrito, but the taste is bleh! Haha! No wonder there is no people in line at the cashier. 

After we waited and ate, I am so sorry that I felt exhaustion and decided not to pursue the other iLight displays. 

Learned the lesson. No weekends! Mental note on that!
