Humble Bakery's Scones
ABBEY: What do you do if your wife tells you everyday for a week that she wants scones?
Well, try to look for one. And make sure it taste good.
I happened to stumble upon Humble Bakery. The catch is you need to place your order before 12 noon to get your pastries the next day. I didn’t waste time to put my box of scones in the queue. I’m happy about the presentation; they have a note saying to enjoy it and it is my box of happiness. Little did they know that it was my wife they made happy. The scones are not too dense. Perfect for tea or coffee.I like the original one and strawberry cream cheese.
Less than SGD 23.90 for six cones. Grab yours!

| Humble Bakery's Scones |
WILL: As what my husband always tell to people, Wilma will always opt to have bread than rice. Haha! Well, pastries are considered bread? Right? And scones is not exempted from my cravings. But the problem is, not all bakeries/cafes are offering scones luckily Abbey found Humble Bakery.
I waited for days for us to receive an email from Humble Bakery. They do not accept walk-ins (huhu). But the wait is really worth it. The scones are not dry, not too crumbly and very flavourful. I do not need butter for this nor jams. Worth the travel. Hehe.
And the owners are so sweet! They put a written note on our order. Hope their business grow and please still give us a written note.

One Prawn and Co Noodle - MacPherson
ABBEY: We were looking for prawn noodles and we saw a post about One Prawn and Co. Next thing we know we’re already on a queue on their shop. We were told it’s a 45-minute wait by the time we arrived but we got our table a little more than 30 minutes. The server even proudly asked if it’s earlier than she estimated. Haha.
We had Lala and Small Prawns as well as Braised Pork Ribs and Small Prawns. Good things come for those who wait. The soup is delicious, full of flavours but not thick. You can taste the distinction between the pork and seashells. The spicy sauce is not too hot and is also sweet. We also had prawn beansprout cake and liver roll.
 |
| One Prawn and Co Noodle - MacPherson |
WILL: Our go to pork and prawn noodle house suddenly serves slimy prawns. We really do avoid those because it might trigger Abbey’s seafood allergies. So when we saw a post about One Prawn & Co, we didn’t hesitate and immediately look what bus should we ride to get there.
It is located at MacPherson Road and it is just a bus ride from our place. We were suprised to see a long queue but they assured us that it won’t last for more than an hour. So carry on! Haha!
Be informed that they are serving a separate bowl for the noodles and a claypot for their soups and meat/seafood. I ordered Lala and small prawn for some iodine fix. Taste is awesome! You will see some remnants of prawn coloring in its soup and lala were abundant in my claypot. Yum. The separate bowl also has a meager amount of soup that soaked the Kway Teow.
Well recommended. Surely on our list where to eat for our tourist friends.

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Singapore - Weekdays Breakfast Set
ABBEY: Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf offers breakfast sets. And the good thing is they opened a branch near our place. One set costs 8.90 SGD but pay for 10.90 SGD and you get a pair.
The sandwiches are of different types but what we like the most is the 9-grain egg mayo. It is soft and fluffy; perfect for the egg mayo filling. The set comes with 8 oz oat milk latte and we asked them to make it extra hot. A good way to start a day!

| The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Singapore - Weekdays Breakfast Set - 9-Grains Egg Mayo Sandwich and Oat Milk Latte |
WILL: The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is making wave on breakfast scene here in Singapore. $5 is a significant price for most of the food chains and CBTL is embracing it. Almost monthly since last year they came up with different pairings of their lattes and sandwiches.
Of all the pairings, my favourite is 9-Grains Toast and Spanish Latte. 9-Grains is definitely a good choice not only for our health but also for our tastebuds. Hehe. It is gooey amd crunchy. Then wash it down with Spanish Latte! Ohh! My morning is totally charged up!
Two sets will cost you $10.90 so don’t forget to treat your buddies a good meal for a very reasonable price!

Flash Coffee Singapore - Affordable Specialty Coffee in Asia
ABBEY: Flash Coffee campaign is all over socmed. They are the ones with bright yellow and red logo. I decided to try it. They gave free coffees as well as discounted ones. The prices I can say is between hawkers and known coffee companies. They have the usual: americano, cappuccino, latte. But they also have signatures like Melaka/Macadamia/Nutella Latte, Espresso Soda and Milo Espresso Shake.
Each cup I got is having full body flavor and satisfy my craving for a dose of caffeine. They also offer free delivery on Fridays (as of this writing) but unfortunately the closest Flash Coffee branch to us is outside the delivery range.
 |
| Flash Coffee Singapore - Affordable Specialty Coffee in Asia |
WILL: Flash coffee stalls are like mushrooms, they can be seen almost everywhere nowadays. Their marketing is to have a barista-curated drinks in a hawker-like price. Abbey is a huge fan of coffee and it causes his curiosity to rise.
Our first dose of Flash Coffee is at their City Hall branch. Right there, I became an instant supporter of Flash Coffee. I love the taste of their Lemon Ice Tea. The strength of the tea and enough citrusy lemon will really quench the Singapore heat in a very affordable price.
As I have said, they have many branches. Download their app, they are sometimes giving free delivery service and of course a lot of freebies and exclusive deals for their members.

Reimondo Seafood Congee - Pasir Ris Hawker Centre
ABBEY: We went to Pasir Ris Central Hawker Center to taste a bowl of Reimondo Seafood Congee. And it didn’t disappoint. For 6.90 SGD you can have a large serving of congee with scallop, prawn and seafood. It is full of flavor and gives you that homey feel for every scoop. A comfort food indeed. The story behind the stall is also an inspiration. Hard things in life come by but you have to persevere to get through it.
 |
| Reimondo Seafood Congee - Pasir Ris Hawker Centre |
WILL: Pasir Ris residents are so lucky to have Reimondo Seafood Congee. They are located in the 2nd floor of Pasir Ris Hawker Centre. Why lucky? We still need to travel to have this unusual porridge. You know…the typical congee is using pork. Seafood Congee should branch out hehe.
The taste is of course delicious. The rice is boiled enough that you can hardly distinguish the rice grains and you will taste that the rice is not only boiled in water. It is definitely boiled with seafood! The seafood congee consist of prawn, smoked salmon and scallops. Well, I do not mind paying extra $2 for a congee to eat this tasty congee.
Well recommended and wiling to travel 1hour by bus to Pasir Ris. Haha.

First Street Teochew Fish Soup - First Branch in Kovan
ABBEY: Another food gem that we found is First Street Teochew Fish Soup. It opens from 8:15AM to 3PM only. Always expect a queue. And for a food stall to have a queue, you know that their items are good. You can choose between rice or noodles for your soup. Their serving of mixed seafood soup is large, delicious and flavorful. They also have batang, pomfret, and snakehead.
 |
| First Street Teochew Fish Soup - First Branch in Kovan |
WILL: It is always raining nowadays and all we need is a good warm soup that will comfort us on a cold lunchtime. Luckily we are near to one of the most well-known fish soup in Kovan, that is First Street Teochew Fish Soup. Breakfast or lunchtime, be ready to queue for a minimum of 30mins.
So what is the taste? Of course it is delicious! You will know that the fish was boiled for hours that causes their soup’s saltiness were naturally from the fish. They offer different kinds of fish here but I always love to have Mackerel Fish Soup with a cup of rice! Each soup feels like a comfort from a warm a blanket in cold days. Hehe.
If you are along Upper Serangoon or Kovan, please do not miss this legendary fish soup established since 80’s.

Max's All About Chicken Singapore - Your Philippine Inasal Now in Singapore
ABBEY: I lost count of how many times we went to All About Chicken Lucky Plaza. They have so many choices for chicken flavours. But what I like the most is the Inasal as well as the original fried chicken. The marinade permeated to the meat; the smokiness and char from the grill is there. Dip it in spicy soy sauce with calamansi and get a spoonful of rice with chicken oil and you are in for a treat. With fried chicken it is crispy and juicy. The fries that comes with it can be replaced by rice.
Maybe I’ll try chicken teriyaki next time.
 |
| Max's All About Chicken Singapore - Your Philippine Inasal Now in Singapore |
WILL: I have found my new favourite fried and grill chicken place! All About Chicken located in Lucky Plaza Basement 1. Yes! This shop is all about chicken rice and they have 8 kinds of flavours. What is the best? They are Chicken Inasal and American Classic Fried Chicken.
Chicken Inasal is famous from the province of Bacolod Philippines. This grilled chicken was marinated with coconut vinegar. Then splash a spoonful of soy sauce, chili oil and kalamansi on your steamy rice! Ohhh. Delicious! Buttery gravy contributes well with the juiciness of American Classic Fried Chicken.
Whenever I went here, I honestly can eat 2 cups of rice. Haha! Definitely worth it. Oh hey! You can order their chicken by buckets.

Paper Rice - Vietnamese Kitchen | Featuring Mekong Specialities
ABBEY: Want some Vietnamese cuisine? Visit Paper Rice. We went at their outlets at Changi City Point and Plaza Singapura. I ordered Grilled Chicken Chop Rice with Egg Meatloaf as well as Pork Bahn Mi. You can really taste the smokiness and char on each bite.
The tanginess and saltiness of the dipping sauce will give a burst of flavour. I also tried hot egg coffee which was delivered by a friendly robot. It is creamy and the caffeine kick is strong.

WILL: We headed for dinner at Paper Rice Vietnamese Kitchen after Abbey’s meetup with colleagues at Changi City Point.
Once you get seated, you will feel at home. Like a visitor to ones home waiting for one of the parents to greet you. Hehe. That’s the vibes in their restaurant. Why? The furniture reminds me of my grandmother’s house in Malabon City. It is antique and colorful. Home that is clean and full of happiness.
Okay let’s go for the food review. The food serving is huge. As in really huge. You may not feel the authenticity of Vietnamese cuisine here because it seems fusioned with modern era. Haha. Like their Deep Fried Vegetarian Spring Roll. It was not wrapped into an ordinary spring roll wrapper or white paper rice. Then my Pork Noodle Soup didn’t possessed a strong coriander scent. Maybe a plus for some but a quite a downside for me. Because I love coriander hehe.
Will surely be back for their hot egg milk coffee and hot refreshing tea.

Han Dynasty - RELAXATION DAY IDEA IN SINGAPORE
ABBEY: After a year of hard work, vacation time is anticipated. What makes me excited is that we can relax and enjoy the time off and be ready for the next year.
To pamper ourselves we went to Han Dynasty for a body massage. I can say that it was an amazing experience. The massage was so hard that I need to tell the masseuse to lessen the “power”. Hahaha. The aching muscles are gone and unwound. It was rejuvenating. Make sure to book an appointment.
WILL: One of the best gift for a friend is to help them lessen their stress right? So Abbey give a gift of fully body massage to Chat last 2021. This time, we tried Han Dynasty Spa located at Thomson.
Before the session the masseuse asked for our pain points and indeed they concentrated on that body part. The downside is too much focus on that body part that she didn’t have enough time to massage my limbs.
The place is clean and you’ll feel that it was totally sanitised. Towels were soft and oil is not that sticky. Worth it to try!

Lemuel Chocolate | Bean To Bar | Singapore
ABBEY: I always crave for hot chocolate for Christmas. Maybe it is with the season or with the ample supply of that brown nectar during that time. Good thing Lemuel (Bean-to-bar chcocolate maker) is there to satisfy my craving. The drink is not too sweet. It is thick and really chocolatey. It is like a cup of hugs that gives warmth to you. They also sell chocolate bars as well as bon bons, and brownies. Definitely, a return trip will be happening.
WILL: Every cold weather hits up, which can be felt during December - February in Sinagpore, Abbey is longing for a cup of hot chocolate. 2020 we went to check Angelina at Marina Bay Sands and on 2021 we went to one of the local chocolatier. Lemuel Chocolate … of course support local! Lemuel Chocolate’s Bean to Bar concept is located at The Star Vista just beside Buona Vista MRT Station. In their open kitchen store you can peak how the chocolate were processed from bean to your sweet lovely chocolate! Their cafe has this chic and pure feel. You can surely have an intimate/private talk there. So how’s the hot chocolate? It is velvety texture, not to sweet and the warmness will embrace you in that cold day. Haha. Truly, Lemuel Chocolate’s were MADE WITH PASSION! You can book a tour too in their factory.

Overrice - The HALAL GUYS version of SINGAPORE
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-going-young” vibe and the people behind the counter is pretty warm and accommodating. I ordered Falafel Signature Bowl ($12.40). The falafel is not dry and not crumbly. Their basmati rice complements well with their creamy white sauce and a dab of spiciest chili I ever had here in Singapore. (That was the first time that I didn’t ate all the chili served to me… haha)
Anyways, we were so happy on what we have tasted and decided that Overrice will be our dinner on 24th December! We will surely come back for more on our next visit in Bugis area.

Koma Singapore | Modern Japanese Restaurant at Marina Bay Singapore
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 spicy food last December. Well, blame it to my hormones. Haha. Taste? Not bad but quite more than okay. It supplied a dose of spice for my day! Haha! It actually can serve for 2pax. California Maki is just normal but their wasabi is outstanding.
Beside the food, people are queuing for Koma at MBS to somewhat feel the ambiance of Japan. Guests will be welcomed by orange arches, a reminiscent of the Fushimi Inari Shrine. The huge dining room complements the 2.5m tall “FACE Japanese bell", which presides above a traditional Japanese foot bridge.
Well who can beat that? Haha.

Spaghetti Bun Burger - Pasta Bun without FRYING and a LOTS of CHEESE | How to Cook Family Favorite
INGREDIENTS
1 onion
2 Tbsp oil
1/2 kg. ground pork/beef
2 Tbsp Tomato Purée
2 cups pickled relish
mustard and ketchup as desired
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 kg. angel hair pasta
Sauté onion until caramelized and the garlic. 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 spaghetti sauce but for this, you NEED to add ketchup and mustard. Yummmy! Who does love pickles? Add half bottle of those in your red sauce! Cheese? But sure make yourself happy with cheese.
It is indeed a delight for my tastebuds and a new thing for you and your kids who love burgers.

The Nail Social: Socially Conscious Nail Salon | Singapore
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 Lane (nearest MRT: Bugis). They are the second floor of one of the shophouses there. So what’s the difference to other nail salons?
1. They do have this homey feel that will relax your body.
2. Comfy non-electrical seats but no back massage for your entire session.
3. They have an iPad which is connected to Netflix. Free to use for your entertainment.
4. For classic pedicure, I requested the attendant to thoroughly take out the dry skin on my big toes and she did without complain.
5. NO HARD SELLING!
Now I am wondering why they are always fully booked even on weekdays. Looking forward to visit the other branch of The Nail Social.

Pinoy Nuttiest Meringue Cake - How to Make Easy Sans Rival Layer Cashew and Almond Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
Merengue
3 egg whites
1/2 cup cashew nuts (crushed)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vinegar
Corn flour (optional)
Buttercream
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 tsp vanilla
Note: Adjust the sugar and butter to liking.
Merengue:
Beat the egg whites until frothy then add the vinegar.
Gradually add the sugar and beat until medium peaks are formed.
Fold in the cashews and put the mixture in a piping bag.
Trace circles (5-6 inch in diameter) and flatten it.
Bake for 45 mins or until lightly brown.
Buttercream:
Mix egg yolks and sugar in double boiler until sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and beat until light and fluffy.
Add the butter (in batches) then add the vanilla and continue beating until the color becomes light.
Assemble the cake by alternating merengue and thinlayer of buttercream. Cover the cake with remaining buttercream and garnish with roughly chopped cashews. Design as you desire.
VERDICT
WILL: I am bothering (literally) Abbey about this cake. Almost every day I kept on blabbering what kind of nuts is perfect for the cake. wink-wink So one day, he have done it and kept on doing it in 3 consecutive months until it is perfect for me. Haha.
How was it? The merengue crust is not that crunchy but chewy, just the way I like it. The nutty frosting is not that sweet and just perfect even without a black coffee pairing.
Whenever I watch him baking this cake, it seems so easy and can finish doing it in 3hours (including the baking time). BUT you can only eat the cake by next day. Why? It taste better once the frosting already sipped in to it merengue crust!

Melt Café Dinner Crustacean and BBQ Buffet at Mandarin Oriental, Singapore FREE S$98++ BUFFET Review
ABBEY: We have our plans laid out for my natal day. But Melt Cafe (Mandarin Oriental) sent me a mail with greetings and a gift; 1 for 1 dining for lunch or dinner. So I said let’s go. Good decision! It’s raining lobsters there. A seafood platter (lobster, prawns, mussels) will be served upon your sitting. That’s just the beginning. Move over allergies. I even ordered a plate of lobsters only and make my own lobster roll with fried mantou, butter and garlic. Hahaha.
I went multiple times to the grill station for beef, scallops and oysters to satisfy my char cravings. Then I moved to the hot foods like chicken and vegatable tandoori with basmati rice and braised pork. For dessert, I love the combination of vanilla and chocolate ice creams; and also a plateful of watermelon. I brought home my complimentary birthday cake. There’s no room for it. Haha.
WILL: Abbey was blessed by The Dining Society on his birthday month. He teceived an email that he get a FREE buffet of his choice (lunch or dinner) at Melt Cafe located at Mandarin Oriental Singapore.
We already had a dinner buffet at Melt Cafe but the difference for this is that now it is a crustaceans like lobsters are free flow + there’s a barbecue just outside the cafe. Of course I enjoyed the meal than before. You can definitely know that lobster and other seafoods are fresh because it doesn’t leave any unappetizing taste in your mouth. Because of COVID-19 there are people behind the counters to hand you the food. They are very attentive and surprisingly quite cheerful in giving your plate of food. It is a happy and tummy-filling day not only for the birthday boy but also for me. Hehe.
Thanks Melt Cafe and The Dining Society for making my husband’s birthday extraordinary!

Beach Road Kitchen Festive Lunch Buffet at JW Marriott Singapore Hotel
ABBEY: At last we set foot at Beach Road Kitchen. We had our buffet lunch courtesy of the November birthday celebrators.
I indulged in grilled beef ribs, pork belly, and ham. I think I had three to four servings. They are really that delicious. They have chicken tandoori but not that much appealing to me. Their prawns are fresh as well as the sashimi. I also had the “Impossible” beef bolognese; you won’t notice that there’s no beef in it. Creamy and beefy-licious.
We were also given our piece of cake with cappuccino. The staffs are attentive and friendly.
WILL: You must meet your good friends in a good restaurant, right? So why not meet them for a buffet lunch at Beach Road Kitchen located at JW Marriott.
What’s the difference of this restaurant to others? They have this concept of Chefs-on-Show. Beach Toad Kitchen showcases live stations for your food. It is well guaranteed that it is freshly cooked and just out of the stove or grill. The restaurant’s ambiance is light and waiters are very attentive to clear your table after every plate of food you had.
Please do not skip their funghi pizza. What else? Grilled Pork just perfect with meatless bolognese pasta! I will confess, I have three rounds of Seafood on Ice! Hehe!

CHEAPEST EAT-ALL-YOU-CAN STEAK IN SINGAPORE Just Below JW Marriott Hotel South Beach | STEAK BUFFET
ABBEY: I’ve been eyeing to go to The Armoury. It got delayed with the dining restrictions or full capacity. Lo and behold we got our spot and ready ourselves to the buffet feast.
I started with rib eye but somehow I got the part where all the tendons are. It got chewy instead of a tender meat. The strip loin and pork ribs are better. What I enjoyed the most is the grilled shabu beef. It is served in “mountains” and I had them twice. It is sweet and caramelized. We also had fried chicken which is crispy and spam fries (beware of the saltiness). The chicken stay and peanut sauce is ok as well.
They have other items like baked beans, edamame, green salad, corn but hey I went there for the meat galore. Make sure you order before your last plate is empty else you have a food gap. Hahaha.
WILL: Abbey is craving for MEAT! It is maybe due to our gym sessions that his body is now requiring him for more protein to build up the muscles (naks!). We heard of The Armoury Steak House that offers 90-minutes STEAK BUFFET for only $30++.
How was the cheapest steak buffet in town? Is it worth it? Yes! They are fast to serve the food we ordered, the meat tender, but the down side is…flavour is somewhat inconsistent. Some of the pork ribs served was superb which I mean is you can savour the marinate until inside the meat. Well, some was just like out from the fridge and the flavours is just until its skin.
Still it is worth a try!
