Keyaki Japanese Restaurant at Pan Pacific | Top Japanese Restaurant Singapore

ABBEY: Dinner at Keyaki is our last hurrah for our 10th wedding anniversary. It is one of the top Japanese restaurants in Singapore and we booked for their 6-course dinner. 

The ambiance of the place is like on the movies set in Japan and the music is low almost quiet and then you will just wait for the samurais to come in for action to begin :) 

All the items are carefully crafted and the presentation is superb. You’ll get excited when the next item will arrive and how will it arrive. I really like the teapot soup, wagyu beef shank and the sashimi (good wasabi).

A great way to wrap up our milestone. 


WILL: 10th year celebration isn’t over! We are thankful for Citibank’s 1-for-1 deal and we got the chance to tick off Keyaki out of our must to eat list.

So what is rave about this Keyaki Restaurant located at Pan Pacific Hotel? Since the travel restriction implemented people are looking on ways to feel that they are somewhat outside the country. And behold! Keyaki has this minka (traditional Japanese house) and before you reached the restaurant, you will be welcomed by torii gate, zen garden, and koi pond. Once you entered the restaurant you will be amazed on the woodworks inside. Indeed! It is like traveling to Japan minus the weather. Hehe.

On food! Yes! I am delighted of their appetizer! It is fresh and hello there firefly squid! What really notable is their soup! Soup is presented in a pot and it quite uncommon for me(sorry) haha. It reminds me playing this kind of claypot when I am at age of 5. And on this 3rd course.. I am already full. Haha!

Beef shank is tender and there is a momentous amount egg yolk sauce on the grilled sea food. Yummmy!

No contest.. Keyaki is one of the top notch Japanese restaurant here in Singapore! They will make you really feel, see and taste that you are in Japan!

K BOWLING CLUB || 313@Somerset - Multi-Entertainment Venue

ABBEY: Wilma and I are both novice in bowling world. After we booked our session at K Bowling Club we watched videos how to play, the scores and etiquette of the game. At the bowling alley we were greeted with neon light and lively music. After changing our shoes we were on for our first game. 

We laughed at ourselves we had our share of gutter between the frames. I had two consecutive strikes on the last frame though. 

We had five games for almost 85SGD. It’s fun and definitely will have more bowling games.



WILL: Abbey have wishlist and to bowl is one of them. We went to K Bowling Club located at 313Somerset. So what we have done? We played! And Abbey defeated me. 

It is a neon/blue light area. Which gives a more playful and feel young aura. The place gives this kind of happy energy that you want to play more! Haha! Each game is $11++ each/per pax.

The bowling shoes are provided for a fee (of course) and please be careful on the weight of the balls. Do not forget to sanitize your hands, sanitizers are located in the entrance and cashier area.

Pixie Nail Spa Experience | Classic Manicure with Massage Chair | Plaza Singapura Branch

ABBEY: I asked Wilma if we can have mani and pedi for our anniversary. Wish granted. We went to Pixie Nail and have our nails done. We’re seated in a lazy boy-like chair and you will only leave that after the session is ended. The chair has a massage function so you can give your back a treat while they are busy with your fingers and toes. 

I’m satisfied with service. My nails are shiny after the cleaning and buffing. I just don’t like how the staff are being pushy for you to get the packages or telling you this service but for another charge. 

What I do not want is not telling me how much the whole service will cost and the add-ons before we go into oblivion of relaxation. By the way all the services including manicure, pedicure, leg spa, nail color (for my wife) cost 370SGD.



WILL: It’s our second wedding and of course we want to be as beautiful/handsome like on our first. One of the base in getting ready for our it the pamper our hands and feet. Off we went to Pixie Nail Plaza Singapura branch.

We were there to get their classic manucure/pedicure. We loved the idea of elevated seats that seems like a throne. And the throne is a massage chair. Ooohhh! Total relaxation. But wait! Then the relaxation bubble burst when they started to be pushy in their additional products. Abbey said yes for salt soak ($10) and when I said NO to the woman who is manicuring our hands on her advise to get the 50% off hand and foot spa, she asked me “Why? It is only $40. Ot is cheap”. Well I am okay with that wordings but the way she looked at me that if I am somewhat cheap is not a good marketing strategy. Abbey was persuaded and get the hand and foot spa for both of us!

Can you guess how much is our bill after spending 2hours in the Pixie Nail? It is a shockingly $$$!!!

No-No-No for me. It feels like we were fooled!
