Captain America : The Winter Soldier (2014)

ABBEY: Marvel continues to reveal the only plot that it uses on its comic story or on its movies.  Since all is well on the world of the superhero, his past will come to haunt him. It turns out that he's buddy that was assumed dead was not dead at all. His enemy will use his buddy to fight him. On the other side, again, the highest official of whatever institution it is, or the one who is an advocate of peace is the villain. And one of the closest ally/comrade of the superhero will "die". Fighting scenes will emerge, and yes The Winter Soldier can boast of its special effects and stunts. The "dead" buddy will somehow be trapped on falling debris and he will be rescued as they were friends. They will be saving each other at the end. People will stay on their sits waiting for the end credit sneak-peek. And The Winter Soldier has two :) By the way, how can a well-built, tall soldier can hide on his shield so small like that? Oh, I forgot this is not a true...

St. Marc Cafe Singapore - Chococro

ABBEY:  This is another variation of "crodo" which started filling up the tummies in Singapore. While crodos/cronuts is circular, chococro adopted the croissant shape.  The baked good has less butter but has the same creamy chocolate filling. The nuts on top of it makes it more crunchy and munchy on every bite. St. Marc cafe sells it 5-for-10sgd as promotion. WILL: Hail to who ever discovered the magnificent croissant putting together with donuts. Cronuts hit the shores of Singapore big since last year and the craze until now never mellows eventhough its too pricey.  St. Marc Cafe's Chococro make a new name on crodos industry here in state city. It is their main product. And when they open up their second store at Raffles City they offered that famous product for $10 per box of 6. So what is the difference to their competitors? I think this is better. The chocolate inside is more creamy and it was topped with nuts which gave a distinct flavor to the ...

Indian Curry House - Delivery by Foodpanda Singapore

ABBEY:  What if you're craving for food but don't know which one is it? Try Food Panda (foodpanda.sg). They will list cuisines/restaurants available in Singapore and from there you can narrow down your search. We've tried its services and we took order on Indian Curry House . We got chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, and naan (plain, garlic, and kheema). They told us that our food will be delivered by 12:30pm but they were 30 minutes early. The food is hot and "hot". It got me sweating as I munch on naan with chicken tikka. But it doesn't stop me in getting a plate of rice and indulge on the spiciness of the food.  Food Panda is recommendable if you want to have variety of choices. Order on their website or thru their phone app. WILL:   When we received an email from Foodpanda Singapore , I was so surprised, excited and kind of worried for this is our first sponsored review. I asked my husband, what if I do not l...

Singapore Civil Defence Force - Alexandra Fire Station Visit

ABBEY:  It was after my night shift and the rain is pouring hard when we were about to visit Alexandra Fire Station. I'm reluctant to come but I was happy I made the right decision. The fire station allows guest every Saturday at 9AM to visit and learn about their operation. You just need to knock on the steel gate, sign up and trade your IC for a visit pass.  Mr. Saif gave us a tour of the station. He showed us the different components of a fire truck, its models, and its contents. I was surprise that they also have one-man fire motorcycle (used for small fire). Their response time is from 8-12mins depends on the incident location. They will help not only on fire-related matters but they also specialize in rescue mission.  So if there's something strange in your neighborhood don't call ghostbusters yet call your local hero first :) WILL: Round-the-clock standby? What a passion for a people to have that kind of job! Saluting the fir...

Griddy Gourmet Waffles - Aloha Hawaiian (Westgate Branch)

ABBEY:  Wilma told me that Griddy has their promotion for their waffle delights; 50% off on their sandwich-of-the-day. Thinking that it was a whole day event, I planned to go there at 4:30 so the waffle will still be hot by the time Wilma goes home. Unfortunately it was a lunch offering :( I missed the burger but went there the next day for an Aloha Hawaiian waffle.  It is a chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes and pineapple. A meal includes criss-cut fries. The fries are flavorful and the pineapple brought sweet-tangy taste to the chicken. Having a waffle as a bun is unusual but it complemented the fillings well. WILL: Before the International Waffle Day 2014, Griddy Gourmet Waffles at Westgate offers a 50% discount on their Griddy Burgers.  Tuesday lunch time, Abbey bought Aloha Hawaiian for our dinner. No time was wasted when I saw the burger before me. This will be my first time to have this kind of stuff.  Rather than using a bun, they used waff...
