Ginataang Isda (Fish with Coconut Cream)


We were surprised and delighted to see an email from Daniel of Daniel's Food Diary. OMG, we were invited to join his campaign to start cooking and bond with the family. 

So here we are, please to present our posts for this campaign. We will posting from 6th - 8th of August. 

Hope, you can do this recipes too. :)




4 Fish
3 cups Coconut cream
4 cloves of Garlic
1 knob garlic Ginger
One bulb of minced Onion
1/2 tbsp Fish sauce
1 Red Chili 

Rub some salt and pepper on to the fishes. Saute garlic, ginger, chili pepper and onions in a hot oil. Pour in the coconut cream, stir until it bubbles. Put in the fish, simmer for 10 minutes.

VERDICT
ABBEY: Wilma asked me to have a food review of this dish which she cooked. I prepared the dish many times but this one really stood out. The sweetness of the coconut milk and spiciness of red chili complement each other well. It goes well with a serving of hot rice; maybe 2 to 3 plates :) Thanks baby.

Party World KTV (家樂迪)

ABBEY: Filipinos love to sing; be it a belting or sometimes a LITTLE out of tune. Give our kababayan a mic and entertainment has begun. We got a 28-dollar voucher for 2 hours of videoke at Party World KTV. This includes 4 drinks and bowl of munchies. The place got party lights, comfy couch and sound proof wall for those "singers". 

As expected I was the first to sing. The songs I selected tell me how old I am. BSB, Rey Valera, Rick Price, Michael Jackson and other artist. But I must admit that those songs were good. VA and I took turns with the usual duet from Wilma. We wrapped up by singing Sean Kingston's Beautiful Girl. It was a fun time.









WILL: Abbey just blurted out "Let's go for karaoke!", and to grant that request. I go back to the emails of all discount companies sent to me. I compared the perks and the price then we finally decided to buy the Groupon voucher. For only $28, we can get 2 hours of singing for 4 pax and a complimentary drink for each and 2 bowls of chips. We booked on a Sunday 6pm. So sad that Chat's duty to hospital do not gave her an opportunity to sing with us. 
      On our way in to Party World KRV at their VivoCity branch, the two boys were excited, Abbey because he really miss to sing and VA for his newly acquired Rado wristwatch (happy for you Vince). 
      Then the singing marathon began. We scanned the song list per artist then Abbey finally started to vibrate his singing voice. It was like we go back from our HS time. His song choices is really a 199-! 
      We enjoyed the two hours of singing (me as a back-up singer), sipping of cold drinks (sorry tonsils) and the chips is quite tasty too. 
      This is a really a memory to treasure. ;)

Miracle by Nature

ABBEY: Wilma is complaining about her tired feet. Good thing that we have a Groupon voucher for a 60-min foot massage in Miracle by Nature. The establishment is located at Blk 431 Clementi Ave. near Clementi MRT station. All I can say is that the session is great. As this is my first on a foot reflexology I'm not aware how will they massage this least-rewarded body part. They started on tips of each toe ending with heels. The session also included a 20-min dry back massage. This is good experience. I felt I'm walking in the clouds after we finished.



WILL: I need some knead. You read it right "need" not "want". I have an aching and very tensed muscles this past few weeks. It is more than 2 months since the last last visit to masseurs and Groupon is just in time when they release this discount for foot reflex. 
      Miracle by Nature was just 2 minutes walk from Clementi Mall. We headed there after office hour and sunk ourselves to their couches and massage bed. 
      60 minutes the Korean Pop look-a-like boy massage my feet. Damn, he really hit all the aching spots. There is a moment that I was gasp for air for the extreme pain I felt when he pinched my right foot lower side. After that foot reflex, we were offered a lukewarm water then headed our way to a massage bed for 20 mins of back kneading. This is my first time that a man will massage my back, anyway I do not give any damn about it, haha, more pressure please. Well, he don't use his hands, he used his elbows, FTW! 
      After the session, I really felt that I am totally pampered...relaxed. The excruciating pain in every step, now was gone. Have a lighter feeling now. :) 
      Miracle by Nature has a very nice deals also, you can check with Michael through 67766992.
