Tropical Hawaiian Fully Loaded Pizza by Pizza Hut Singapore

ABBEY: Is it my hunger or the service of Pizza Hut that got me in the bad mood when we dined in their branch at Marina Square?

We planned to have dinner in the pizza parlor after a day's work and by the time we got there it took us 10mins before we had our seat. Many tables were empty but I noticed that the branch is understaffed that time. Only two staff I saw. Its ok; understandable. They took our order and waiting time began. It is still ok with us even the customer who came after us received their soup and drinks before us. 

But when we followed up and they gave the wrong order that is the start. The staff even showed us that, that is what his colleague punched in. It was later verified that is for the other table. 

Waiting and waiting then another food came, still that is not what we ordered. We told them that we want the Tropical Hawaiian Fully Loaded Pizza and a pasta. Finally it came but the mood for tasting that particular pizza turned sour. The pizza is good though. The stuff is delicious; it was even larger than the slice itself.




WILL: Advertisement plays a real big factor in every game of business and I am one of the TV viewers that hooked up on Pizza Hut Singapore's commercial of their Fully Loaded Crust.

When I got the chance to asked Abbey out after his APAC shift, we hurriedly went to Marina Square's Pizza Hut branch (nearest one from Abbey's office). My tummy keep on shouting for food, Abbey's meeting was send off around 8PM that time, but because of the cravings of mine, I still muster myself to wait.

But the wait really annoyed us. Oh Abbey ordered the Fully Loaded Delight Meal ($28.90). We waited for 30 minutes and really can't stand our grumbling stomach and we asked for the soup and soft-drinks. Well cola came out first and after 20 minutes the soup. We waited for 30 minutes more before we get the pizza.

I do not know if because I am really furious that time but the the pizza I craved for a long time taste so bad. The chicken doesn't compliment with the cream cheese and spinach. For the first time, I pushed away a pizza slice to my husband.

We do hope that the Pizza Hut management will take a look on this issue, time really matters on a restaurants.

Sentosa Buskers Festival 2013

ABBEY: Sentosa Buskers Festival 2013 exhibited many of the local artists' talents. Our first stop is with Dharni and K-Leah. We have seen the performance of Dharni in Singapore Night Festival and his beatboxing is great. Matched it with the husky voice of K-Leah and it was superb.  

After the acapella we went to see the string duo, Off Beaters. This kids really plays their instruments well. I liked it when they play Bruno Mars' Hey Soul Sister. They can improve their show if they would interact with their audience. 

We also got a photo shoot session with Sentosa Buskers Festival mascot. Last stop is Tribal Ninjas. Hands up to these artists especially with their fire acts. The show must go on even its windy causing the fire to touch their skins. I got also a chance to pose with The Leaning Man. We're hoping to see more of the world-class talents on the next festival.






WILL: Its Sentosa's 4th year in busking! Time flew so fast, isn't? This is a new for all of the attendees as they invite their local artists to perform at the stages of Sentosa, they were located at Merlion Pitch, Bell Pitch, iFly Ground, and to cut it short, they were all over the island. 
      On my observation, more audience actually went there to checkout the performances despite grey clouds engulfed the city-state.
      First we checkout the program so we can plan our visit. We listened first to Dharni and K-Leah, amazing voice accompanied by beatbox. Then we stopped to amaze ourselves with Off Beaters. Hey, I also attended the meet and greet the Buskers Mascot. 4th stop was the nice duo that played fire, well done tribal ninjas. To stop our grumbling stomach, we ended our visit with The Leaning Man. 
      That was a great break on a very hectic and pressured working environment. 
      I wish that the local performers will practice more on how to communicate with their audiences. 
      As usual, I am looking forward on 2014 Buskers line up. :) thanks Sentosa for this free event and helping a charity through our island entrance fee.

The Phantom of the Opera (Singapore) at MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands

ABBEY: Me, Wilma and our friends went to see Phantom of the Opera at MasterCard Theaters at Marina Bay Sands on its last day of performance. At the theater lobby we took some snaps and prepare ourselves for the show. 

It started at 8pm. Once the lights went out, all became silent and anticipated the first scene. I don't know if it is just me having not enough sleep and my hearing got affected, it seemed that the sound is low. But when the Phantom started singing, he got my full attention. 


The acoustic is great that you can feel the dynamics of their voices especially when the Phantom became angry. You can feel that he hovers on to the place. The effects was good as well. It helped me feel more the intensity of the emotions. As the performance is superb, they got standing ovation from the audience.





WILL: This is our second chance for us to get a ticket from Sistic. Well, when Marina Bay Sands announced an extension for Phantom of the Opera show, Abbey and I immediately decided to get th last day ticket at 8pm.


As I say, I am fond of seeing plays, and we are so blessed to have some spare money to check-out this broadway show that traveled long wayto go here in Singapore. 


How good is it? They made me cry! The sounds, the music, the acts is so perfect that will touch my stone-cold heart.


Next time they visit Singapore, it is a must to watch this play.. ;)
