ABBEY: How can you catch up with friends? Sit down with food. That’s what we did as we head to TAP for their lunch buffet. There is variety of foods like honey sesame chicken, kung pao chicken, basil tofu pork (which is on the spicy side), chicken curry, spaghetti bolognese as well as soup, salad and rice. However the one that stood out is the garlic butter shrimp. They’re tasty and juicy.  We always looked out if another batch came and indulged ourselves to the seafood delight. Perfect for the two-hour timing and on to the next one. Food may differ per visit.  Lunch Buffet Bargain at $15.90: TAP Craft Beer at Dhoby Ghaut WILL:  Hey, fellow foodies!

ABBEY: We went here for a couple of times and they didn’t disappoint (except maybe for the queue). They offer a katsu bowl along with soup, drink and shredded cabbage and seasonal vegetable. Enough to fill you up. The katsu is tender; you can even put yellow mustard along with it.  Don’t foget the sesame dressing on the cabbage. There is pickled ginger to clean the pallet. Slurp their umami miso soup and wash them all down with cold tea. Talk about katsudon and this is a recommended place.

ABBEY: Tenuta Torciano New Year’s Eve Dinner  €135/person I have no expectation of what a New Year’s Eve dinner at a winery entails. So off we go to Tenuta Torciano. We were fetched by a golf cart from the gate and was served a glass of white wine as we wait for the dinner to start. We were able to take snaps at their gazebos as well as their garden. The main hall have a barn-fell to it and it came alive with the holiday decorations and live songs. Our table ia filled with wine glasses and bottles of wine.  We had diced tuna, chicken liver, tomato flan, and anchovies for starters and followed by crepe with sausages and risotto with prawns. The second course is grilled beef sirloin and a fillet of sea bream. And it ended with chocolate mousse. Every item is paired with wine. And the glasses are being refilled as soon as you finish them. We really took our time to immerse ourselves in the experience; to enjoy the food, drink the best wines, and spend quality time with our “dates...

ABBEY: Certaldo Hotel We were supposed to be hosted in a winery for our first few nights in Italy. However the location is having its renovation and they moved our accommodation at Certaldo Hotel. We were picked up from the train station to the hotel. We got a large room and bath. Their toiletries are fragrant and relaxing. Our package includes breakfast during our stay and I can say that I indulged in bacon, scrambled eggs, pastries and sausages. I also tried their grapefruit juice. That’s a new for me. And not forgetting my cup of cappuccino.  They also served us dinner with pork pie, steak and bolognese pasta. The pasta is notable as it is not only al dente but it is make fresh and with cocoa. Wow! I would commend their staff specially with their communication from booking, accommodation, hotel transfers and food. It was a great experience for us. Mercure Roma Corso Trieste  Our stay here is free. Thanks for my award. Haha. It is a 5-minute walk to the train station which i...

ABBEY:  To dos in Switzerland   —Sledding All the while I thought this will be a joy ride. Turns out it is thrilling going to dangerous.  Exercise prudence and carefulness as you go the down steep slopes. It was fun at the same time scary. Even though it is a beginner route, it is not at all straight nor flat but with curves as well cliffs.   —Paragliding This is where my wife ended up when she negotiated for Sky Diving. Nothing much to be afraid of, right? I was wrong. The pickup from the station to their office and the 20-minute ride to the mountain is ok. But when the instructor started to lay the parachute and seeing the slope where we would run and take flight, that is a different story. Fear crept in on me; can’t help it. I mustered my courage and when my instructor told me to run, I ran like hell. Hahaha. Next thing I know I’m flying. It was nice to see Interlaken from the sky. I’m proud I was able to tell my tandem paraglider to do the roller coaste...
