Tiger Brewery (Singapore) Tour

ABBEY: Tiger Beer is a product of Singapore and you can have a guided tour for only SGD 18. Make sure to come on time as the tour will start with or without you. 

The first stop is getting to know the ingredients; malt, yeast, hops, and water. Then onto the process; getting the malt out of the pulp, fermentation, and packaging. It will take 5-weeks for a batch to be completed and make beer. We were also shown how to do a perfect pour (remember two-finger foam). 

At the start of the tour we were given sampling tickets. And we can use them to taste Tiger beer products as well as other beers being made on the plant. And you can enjoy your drinks in a cosy bar with leather seats, billiard table and dart boards. 

I like the Strong Bow Apple Cider and Tiger Radler Lemon. Yup, less alcohol for me. And we also got to take home a bottle of extra fresh Tiger Beer which was bottled that same day.

WILL: Do you really, really think that there's nothing left for you to visit here in Singapore? Well, think again! Have you checked out Tiger's Brewery?! 

Good news! They are now open on Sundays for them to accommodate more people! What you can see in this factory? Of course the process on how they manufacture the Tiger Beer. Only that?! Do you know that Tiger Beer have bandwagons of other fermented drinks? Their team includes Barons, Guinness, ABC, Anchor, Strongbow and you have got a chance to sip those at the end of the tour. 

What I can say about our tour? Our guide seems in a hurry, he didn’t gave us a chance to watch videos. Why I know that there should be videos to watch? I saw the other group (after us) well-focused on the big screen just before we left the building. I also forgot to take his name down. Anyways, I won a quiz game and he gave me a try to take a beer right on the tap! 500mL. 

Then after the tour they will give you another 500mL each of Tiger Beer on a weissber glass and 5 coupons of your choice of beer. The lanyard, you can keep. But if you gave back the Visitor's ID itself, they will hand you over a freshly brewed bottled beer for you to take home.

Their bar/tavern is relaxing. It is just like that you were thrown to US. Haha! Leather seats, billiards, darts. They have chips available for sale. 

The best time to go? 2pm. $18? Not a rip-off! Before I forget! Abbey discovered his beer type in here! If you want more beer and you run out of the sampling tickets, you can have a new set (5 tickets) for only $5.

Soek Seng 1954 Bicycle Cafe - Dine with Private Planes

ABBEY: Yey, after almost 10 kilometers of cycling, we’ve reached Soek Seng 1954 Bicycle Cafe. We settled ourselves from sweat before looking at their menu. 

I had fish and chips for SGD 11.80. Only light snack to give energy as we also cycled back home. But they are also serving heavy meals like steak and rice bowls. The fish is crispy on the outside but moist in the inside and really went well with the dipping sauce. The fries is somehow smaller than the ones in the fastfood chains.

WILL: Let's admit that the most cafes at Seletar Park have hefty prices! So we chose to dine at Soek Seng 1954 Bicycle Cafe. It has beautiful scenery. A tree? A park? A lake? No! A private plane runway! So ATASSSS!  

Delighted to see that they have a ice cream sandwich! When it was served I am quite disappointed because it is small. But suprisingly, it made me feel full! Haha. I cannot finish if you gave me another quarter of that ice cream. 

Washed down the sweetness with water! Then we cycle again back to home. Well, less 5 minutes to an hour of exercise... again! HA!

Cycle Singapore: Punggol to Seletar Aerospace

ABBEY: We always wanted to go to Seletar Aerospace Park. And so we did; thru bicycle. Yes, we pedaled the 16-km roundtrip (distance according to Strava). And all we have have is a 1.5 liter of isotonic drink, towel and phone. 

It was fun as we get to see new buildings, landed houses and fields. It was the same time tiring but we need to get there and most importantly to get back home. There is no turning back. As with the park’s name we got to see private planes. Another sight that inspired me to strive harder. 

Next journey is to IKEA.

WILL: This time I wish to experience a long cycle. Abbey wants to go to Seletar Aerospace to check out the reataurants there. Combining our wish and wants! Tadaaaannn! It's a date. 

Abbey plotted the route and while planning it he is so anxious because the map directing is us to cycle at expressway. Haha! 

Cycling will make you appreciate nature. The greenery landscapes of Singapore and clean air you can breath. 

Imagine the uphill track? One uncle sitting at bus stop looked at me, smiled and there is a look in his eyes that seems asking me "Why you punish yourself?" Haha! 

We happily spend almost 1 hour each way. The next day, I have hard time walking normally. Haha. 

Cycling is a good exercise. You will save money by using bike sharing services, you can help to decongest too the buses and MRT trains. Let's cycle, expolore Singapore. Have healthier FUN!
