TWG Tea Salon & Boutique

ABBEY: We planned numerous times to dine in this  tea shop at Marina Bay Sands but they never happened until we have spare time to wait for a fashion show. Since it will not start for a couple of hours, we went at TWG and sipped cups of tea. 

I got strawberry-fusion tea. The aroma is good as well as the taste. No burnt and bitter after taste. A tea book was given to us and we read a lot of info about the leaves; from how it started, the trade until to the names of each tea and their uses.







WILL: I am an absolute lover of teas and once I saw the this TWG at Marina Bay Sands I told to myself that someday I wi be having a tea there. 
      Well, we have an extra budget to sip some tea there and yes my 2years wish was finally granted. Once we put our first foot on the steps, their waitress immediately greeted us and ushered to our seats. Oh, their chairs is very soft, it made me really a royalty that night. The man passed us the TWG tea book. Whoah! Shocked! Overwhelmed with information. This company was established here in Singapore and decades past of being port of trade, they saw every finest tea leaves from different countries and with expert knowledge they came of hundreds of concoction that will result in greatness. 
      Oh Darl, my heart is in heaven when they served my teapot. I ordered silver moon. The taste?, nothing ordinary. Very Delicious!

2012 WoMens Fashion Week - Japan Couture Evening

ABBEY: Wilma told me that we won a pair of ticket for the Fashion Week. This entitled us to attend one day of the event. We went there on a Friday and they showcased Japanese couture. Cocktails were served while waiting for the program to start. Each seat have a goodie bag that contains Cosmopolitan magazine and more. A couple of minutes and then the show started. 

The models walked the ramp from casual to winter clothing. The collection is good. I took snaps the best I could as I'm seated in last row :) The show only lasted within 15 minutes but it was good and fashion-inspiring.








WILL: Cosmopolitan Singapore loves me a lot, how do I know? They love every woman who aspires to be  role model to each other. The love is overwhelming they let me to witness the Japan Couture Evening 2012 held at Marina Bay Sands. 
      We arrived early for 9pm so we took our dinner first and take some tea. When the clock hits 8:45pm we walked in to this build-up tent got our ticket and waited until the stage and the models are ready to hit the way. Anyway, while waiting, they entertained us by food and drinks. Champagne, wines, sodas, caviar, macaroons, nuts and a lot of pica-picas. 
      After the long wait they opened the black curtains and we hurriedly sat at our respective chairs and there a Cosmopolitan November issue waiting for us. 
      The show started as the red lights illuminate the area. The models ramped all the beautiful clothing from different brands that can be be bought at The Shoppes. 
      A great event to showcase the different styles that represents every personality. Again, a big kiss for Cosmopolitan Singapore.

VERDICT
WILL: I love shawarma and I asked Abbey to do it for me. In cooking, nothing is impossible with him. ;p  I'm the one who scheduled our weekly "to eat" and he is the one to execute the plan. ;) 
      He do this chicken wrap and at no fail, the taste hit my high standard. I love the mayonnaise and ketchup matched with the wrap. Every time that we need a substitute for a rice on our dinner, we immediately put this on our list. Thanks Babe, you are awesome.
