The Darkest Hour

ABBEY: This movie got a lot of nod from me whenever I fall asleep. I don't know if I'm just tired when I watched the movie or the story made me bored. Its about alien-invasion; you can't see the enemy (ring any bell?). While hiding from them you came to know that there are submarines in specific places which finds survivor (Hello, Resident Evil). As usual there will be a person who will lose his mind as he can't handle the situation. Effects are not that good either. I gave it one of five.



WILL: Out of the blue, Abbey asked me if we can watch movie. That was holiday then, so our Mr. Popcorn will not be honored for discount that's why I am hesitant. Hehe. But he wants it, all i can do is to accompany him.
       Chat is keep in predicting the next scene and she is always right. Haha. Me, I cant help myself to prevent from yawning, but I think I yawn more than 20. Haha! Worst, I saw Abbey sleeping. Predictable, slow pace, and boring. 3/10.

112 Katong

ABBEY: The mall has been renovated recently and re-opened last December 22. We made plans that we will watch a movie there in time with the opening. The mall has free shuttle ride from Jurong East MRT station. Once we arrived there we noticed that the entire floor is covered with carpet. Unusual for a mall huh. The mall houses restaurants like TGIF and Nando's. Shops for electronic gadgets, appliances, and home fixture are also there. We watched a movie at Golden Village on the fourth floor. Food court is on the same floor also. The floor area is small compared to others but its a good place to visit.






WILL: Never heard of this mall ever since until they put up a facebook account to promote the renovated mall. :)
      I am so astounded to see that the mall is carpeted and with a very classy and elegant design. They housed a lot of high class restaurant and of course foodcourt will never be out. Golden village is present for movie addicts like us. Haha! We love this mall but it is little bit too far from Punggol.
      You can get there by alighting at Paya Lebar station then wait for their free shuttle. :)

NYDC

ABBEY: NYDC celebrate the holidays by giving 1 for 1 vouchers for their Christmas meals and ala cartes. We dined at the their branch in Wheelock Place . We opted to order ala cartes compared to other festive entrees as I'm 100% sure that my wife won't be able to finish it. The servings are big. Other meals are for bigger groups. Prices range from 29sgd to 98sgd. I got their Christmas ala carte "Catch of the day". It is halibut fillet with pesto cream. The fish is so flavorful and fresh. Side dishes includes steamed asparagus and carrots and mashed potato. My wife likes the potato because of its creaminess. Each ala carte comes with a Fizzy Drink, which keeps the other diners to look at our table and ask the staff what is our drink, and a slice of Choco/white logcake. Its been a Festive lunch for us :)






WILL: NYDC grants us a 1-for-1 treat for its festive meal sets. Well we do not get their hearty meal for a reason that we cannot finish that serving of 4 :D So we ended up munching up their ala carte meal!
      I ordered their chicken meal. Chicken is nice but there is no something new. What I love with them? The side dishes! The asparagus, the carrots, the pumpkin and most specially their mashed potato! Hail to their mashed potato! As of now, this is the nest mashed potato I ever tried :D Its so smooth, creamy and sometimes tastes like a milk. D@mn good!Their logcakes, OMG! I want it in our fridge! That will be so nice with a tea!
      Thanks NYDC! We will surely go back at their Wheelock branch at Orchard!
