ABBEY: The Overrice offers meals over rice. Whoah! You don’t say. Hahaha. I had their pulled beef signature bowl. It came with pita, shredded lettuce, and basmati rice. Each bowl can be drizzled by their secret white sauce and you can dab the fiery red sauce. And when I say dab, try it little by little. It is hot. Takes sometime to get used to it. Overall the Overrice beef bowl taste good. The ingredients and sauces really complement each other. They also have their version of Magnolia Banana pudding. WILL:  We got curious with New Yorks Halal Guys’ Iconic White Sauce and Impressive Hot Sauce when we stumbled on one of their interviews in YouTube. That curiosity grew to a question where we can get hold of that chili sauce in Singapore?  Abbey found a place that declares to be Singapore’s version of Halal Guys by its patron. Overrice. Overrice is located at Arab Street and perfect place to dine after our pedicure session at The Nail Social.  Their place have this “easy-go...

ABBEY: Yey! We got a reservation at Koma. The booking have a long list. You need to reserve your table two months ahead. We went there on Christmas Day. Entering the restaurant and walking to your table will transport you a place in Japan. There are tori gates as well as large bell. You will not remember you’re inside a mall. The ambiance got a homey and quiet feel.  We tried their California maki and I got barbecued beef short ribs for main. The beef is tender and the sauce is not that sweet. Perfect to be folded inside lettuce.  Recommended to be tried but I’m not that much of a fan. WILL:  Booking Koma is pretty tedious task for me. I ended up to be on a waiting list… TWICE! Huhu! I marked my calendar and on the first hour they opened the reservation for 25th December, I straight away get the 1130am lunch.  When we saw the their festive menu, without second thoughts we chose to have an ala carte meal instead. I ordered, Spicy Tofu Hot Pot.  I am a sucker for...

Mix in the minced pork and cook until brown. Next is the sauce. Add tomato purée and cook it for a couple of minutes. Add the pickle relish, mustard and ketchup. Season to taste. Try to make the sauce not too watery. While the sauce is cooking, form the spaghetti into a disc shape. Make two of it to form the buns. One tip is to place a cling wrap to a bowl and put spaghetti on it. Wrap it and let it set to get the shape. Arrange them bun, sauce, and bun. Now you have your spaghetti bun burger. VERDICT WILL:  YouTube is one of the platforms where you can watch people recreate the boring and usual stuffs to be fun! So it goes with the same old red spaghetti. Abbey presents the Spaghetti Bun Burger.  It is a big NO for some to put a ketchup on their ...

ABBEY: Yey, another pedicure for my tired feet. This time we went to Nail Social. The place is at a cozy upper room near Bugis MRT.  From the time we stepped in I knew it will be a relaxing session. And yes it was! The nail technician pampered my feet with scrub and massage and really cleaned my nails. Then finished them off with glossy-shine buff. By the way they did these all quietly and without talking to other workers; which is plus for me. Total peace. And by the way they don’t hard sell. Haha.  Be sure to make appointment and include all you want to be done with your precious nails both hands and feet as we got turned down for a manicure due to full schedule which is understandable.  WILL:  Isn’t quite disturbing of your nail attendant is bothering you to push extra services on your supposedly “relaxation day”? Well it doesn’t happen on The Nail Social. Kudos to that and congratulations to us for a having a peaceful me-time.  Nail Social is located at Haji...
