Add a quarter cup of water and then mix the bell pepper and fishballs. Simmer for a couple of minutes and serve.

VERDICT
WILL: I am longing for this viand. But I chose not to include this in any of our weekly menu because it requires a lot of vegetables and I am certain that we will last for 2 days before it will be all gone. Haha. But that week, I can't fight that urge haha. I asked abbey to cook it. 

Wohooo! The crunchiness and sweetness of the half-cooked vegetables and the saltiness of chicken liver is an awesome combination. :) 

Ahmm, we do not ate it for 2 days, we have it for 3 hahaha! Anyways, thanks to microwave for the re-heating process :) Thanks Baby for sumptuous meal.

PappaRich Singapore | Malaysian Delights

ABBEY: We went hungry before doing our weekly grocery. So we stopped by Papparich (Waterway Point B1-17) as we are craving for Nasi Lemak. A couple of minutes of waiting and then we were given a table. Write what you want in the order sheet and press the green button, and their staff will come.

I got Fried Rice Special with Fried Chicken Thigh for $10.90. It comes with pappadum also.

It was flavorful and I can't stop munching on the thigh as well as the rice. It filled my hunger and ready to go for my next task.

WILL: Every Friday, we are late to be out of our office by almost an hour but that weekend...it was really late. So we just decided to dine out before we get our weekly grocery. This is our second time to visit PappaRich. Our first is at Suntec Branch and this time is at their newly established Waterway Punggol. 

I am craving for Nasi Lemak and got that quick fix in there. We queued for 10 minutes or less and waited for the food to be served for another 10 minutes. It is worth the wait. The rice, the crispy fried chicken skin and tender meat (not so bloody) of it is really awesome. Yum, yum, yum!!! ($11.90)

10/10. :) Oh, you can feel the staffs' hearts in serving their diners.

Stuff'd - Mexican. Turkish. Delicious.

ABBEY: When we did grocery after office and have no time to cook, we stopped by Stuff'd in basement of Waterway point. Quesadillas ran out so I got beef and chicken burrito.I said to add more cheese and then realized that's why quesadillas is not available :) 

In the burrito, there were rice, beans, guacamole and hot sauce. Within seconds, it was wrapped and we're ready to go. When we got back, we hurriedly munch on it. It was delicious. The ingredients blended well and the hot sauce gave some kicks. Next time I'll try the quesadillas.

Yeah, the second time we went quesadillas is available. The wrap was put in the grill and topped with cheese.Then for the fillings I got tomato, lettuce, cucumber chicken. I picked habanero and mayo cucumber for the sauce. I'm salivating when it being wrapped; can't wait to start eating it.

At home, yes, it was delicious like the burrito. Not bad for SGD8.8.

WILL: Who in here that experienced cravings for a shawarma? I know I am not alone. *wink-wink* And that is why my heart is overflowing of joy once my husband or I is somewhere near at Tampines, in that we can but some of the affordable shawarma.

Luckily, Stuff'd decided to establish a store at Punggol Waterway. Nearer I can say have a delectable taste of sauces. What's my favorite? Their chicken shawarma with splashed with habanero sauce and mayo-cucumber. Yummmmmm!!!

It became a habit that this is our dinner for almost every Friday. Haha! Try it. Warning! Long queue on dinner time. :)

Ingredients:

3-4 tilapia fillets

1 whole garlic (minced)

2 chili padi (minced)

2-3 tbsp brown sugar

Salt and pepper

Sauce:

Heat 2-3 tbsp oil in a pan.

Saute garlic then the chili.

Lower the heat and mix in brown sugar until it melts.

Add water as desired. Don't put too much as the sauce will become thin.

Fish:

Put 3-5 tbsp of oil in pan with high heat.

Once oil is hot, fry the fish for 3-5 minutes each side.

Put the fish in a container and top it with the sauce.

Place a lid in the container so heat will be trapped.

Serve with white rice.

VERDICT
WILL: I always want to have something to look forward to in our weekly meal. Last week, the new thing to cool and try is the Pan Seared Tilapia with Garlic and Chili Sauce. I saw that on Chrizzy's facebook album. And so, I bugged my personal chef to cook it for me. Hehe. 

The taste? The chili and garlicky and sweet sauce is fighting against each inside my mouth. The soft texture of tilapia is maximized the experience. 

Love it! For sure this will make to my list for every month.

Colour Your Buses by LTA Singapore : Lush Green Won

ABBEY: Land Transportaion Authority unveiled two new colors of bus; red and green. Red represents Singapore and the green for the lush greenery of the city state. They will let the people vote which color will be official. One of their road shows was held at Vivo City where me and my wife got a chance to board the public transport and get the feel of the new giants of the road.

The new buses have USB ports where you can charge your devices. It is more spacious.

The staircase of double-deckers are genius. It has two sets. One for going up and one for going down. No more bottlenecks when boarding and alighting.

Congratulations Singapore for this endeavor.

WILL: Singapore government is serious in upgrading its buses and trains for a better service they can offer to its residents. 

Weeks ago, they unveil the winner for the "Colour Your Buses" voting contest. Lush Green won (woooohoooo!) and they were scheduled to exhibit the new bus in three different locations and we waited them at VivoCity. 

It made me smile just seeing the color "green" bus parked outside mall. My smile accelerated  into extensive delight when I stepped in to the new friendly giants of Singapore's roads. The seat and its cover, the 2 exits (for the second decker passengers), the usb port for phone charging, and the emergency breakable glass ate the new things you can find in that buses. 

I can't wait to see those bus roaming around the Little Red Dot.

The Game Of Thrones Experience: Worlds Of Westeros - HBO Asia (Ion Orchard)

ABBEY: Winter is coming... Oh no, the sixth season of Game of Thrones will be airing April 26, 2016. And we're privileged that they conduct roadshow at Basement 4 of Ion Orchard Mall from April 2-7. 

It exhibits the storyboards, the sword replica of Ned Stark, the Walker and others. You can also have a virtual reality tour of the elevator of the wall. We're not able to see it as waiting time is almost two hours. A snap in green screen will have you posed with the dragon. 

But for me the most fun part is to have an opportunity to seat in the Iron Throne. Wow, it is great to be a king :)

WILL: The people now are going berserk because the wait will finally over! But HBO & Starhub heightens up the excitement further more by just putting up "Game of Thrones: World of Westeros" at Ion Orchard. 

We went there to checkout the iron throne but they exceed my expectation due they exhibit the actual swords used, storyboards, a 4D wall and a green screen for a photo-op for with Targaryen's dragon. 

Thanks to the sponsors. Can't wait to see the series this month! :)

After 15 minutes, take off the foil and add grated cheddar cheese and put back to the oven for another 15 without a foil. 

Serve with tasty bread! Enjoy!

VERDICT

ABBEY: I should be the one making this dish. But I think Wilma got tired of waiting since I've been sick. So she took the matters on her own hands.

I saw her prepare it and she got a hard time in cooking the shells. They were very brittle even though only a couple minutes in boiling water. But she managed to cook them perfectly.

The stuffings is a mixture of riccota cheese, spinach and mozarella.

It was delicious but I prefered its taste after overnight and reheated. The ingredients mixed well giving it a complete taste: sour, salty and sweet.

SO PHO (So Good) - Vietnamese Restaurant

ABBEY: I got fever, cough and cold for a week. Once feeling slightly better after dosages of tablets, I longed for soup. Anyways, that's what the doctor told me to eat. 

I got a bowl of Pho Dac Biet; slices of beef and meatballs in Vietnamese Pho. This costs less than 10sgd. The taste was good and relieves me of my sickness. The lime juice really put the zesty and tangy taste. 

A couple of slurps then my bowl was already empty. The branch we went is at Waterway Point Punggol (01-28).

WILL: Abbey's down with a flu for the second time in year 2016. I do not have time to cook for a soup and the best to do is to buy for take out. At So Pho's newest branch which is located at Punggol Waterway, I ordered my usual PHỞ GÀ and PHỞ ĐẶC BIỆT for my sick husband. 

Their serving is too huge, their soup is pretty tasty and noodles are perfect. Half of my bowl was passed to Abbey, I am so way full! 

This restaurant made to my list!! :) 'Till next time guys! See you again!

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Golden Village Suntec City)

ABBEY: Yey, twas the day I've been waiting for. I've heard and read a lot of reviews of the movie. Most of them are negative. Well for me, I just want to see my Superman fly and use his superpower against the villain. And this time its Batman. The scenes were all dimmed. Can we have other lighting effects? As usual Batman still cannot move on from the death of his parents. Also this Batman didn't apply his logic. He let his emotions be drowned by the teases of Lex Luthor. Since Superman was the one to be blamed for the alien attacks, he glued his conclusion that Superman is the enemy. Ayayay.

Jesse Eisenberg has the same way of acting; be it Batman v Superman, The Social Network, American Ultra. All the same. Be careful with that, you're Johnny Depp in the making. Stop that stuttering.

Gal Gadot as Wonderwoman is stunning. She has grand entrance on the climax of the movie. Can't wait for her own movie.

Movie rating : 7/10

WILL: I already earmarked the show date of Batman V Superman - Dawn of Justice since last year. Why? Superman is Abbey's favorite superhero. One week before the date, I booked at the newest cinema of Suntec City, the Golden Village. 

I wish Batman is still played by Christian Bale, I wish for more action scenes, I wish that the 3-hour film is not a mess while explaining what is happening, I wish Batman and Superman is not portrayed stupidly in that movie. 

My verdict? Do not waste your money.

Unleash the Highest Potential of Your Life and Money (Speakers: Mr & Mrs Vic and Avelynn Garcia) - AIA Tampines

ABBEY: In a world that is becoming harsh and positivity is getting scarce, it is better to listen to motivational speakers to correct your perspective from time to time. Unleash International was invited to speak  last March 12. And the good news is that it was for FREE. The hours of husband-and-wife-duo Vic and Avelynn Garcia were so precious that companies are paying them a very high rate. We were blessed to have them at the gathering.

They are not motivating the usual way. But instead, they will tell you what you're doing wrong and how to correct them. They're brutal but your eyes will be opened and you'll change for the better.

I'm happy that their course is aligned with the teachings of the Bible.

Even they want to talk more, the given time was short.

But they promised to come back and do the full 3-4 day training.

I'll wait for them as I want to be part of the change the Philippines needs.

WILL: How do I get to know them, I am fortunate to read their books "Kuntento Ka Na Ba Sa Kaperahan Mo?" and "Kakasuweldo Pa Lang Ubos Na". And from that, attending on one of their seminar make it to my wishlist. But the huge price is blocking me to attend it. Blessing came Vic and Avelynn Garcia to speak for free. Without second thought, we registered. 

What are my greatest take-away? The step by step where to put our hard-earned money, the entrepreneur mind, Vic also challenged us how to be one of the best employees our boss can have, he also inquired how's our relationship with our spouse or with children or parents or siblings while we are here, and it is a blast when they gave us a little small card that indicates "Tulong Ko - Pasa Mo".

That card moved many attendees..BIG TIME. Why? Most of the OFW went abroad to earn and to help their family and not expecting for any returns. This Tulong Ko - Pasa Mo movement is for us to do small deeds for 3 random person and aiming that the good deed will continue until every people will be touched by this movement. 

Gosh! I cried a lot when I saw a clip of movie Pay It Forward that they have played that day. 

Now, I know why their seminar is expensive. Their seminar is really valuable. In a very short time, they discussed family, career, money and spiritual side of our being! 

Thanks Sir Vic and Ms Avelynn Garcia. May HE bless you and your family more!

Ministry of Food : Lenas - Modern American Italian Restaurant (Orchard Gateway)

ABBEY: For the second visit of Jennee, we dined at Lenas@Orchard Gateway. For a set lunch, I got cream tomato base pasta with breaded chicken cutlet. It came with vegetable salad and drink. 

I liked the taste of salad dressing; sweet and sour. The pasta is rich in sauce and the cutlet is crispy in the outside but tender inside; perfect for a "kid" like me. Haha. My meal costs $16.50++. 

They also serve steak and pizza.

WILL: Abbey's Bestfriend, Jennee is back in here for just few days and we scheduled a late lunch to meet her at Somerset MRT Station.

Orchard Gateway, is one of the mall at Orchard that was packed with interesting restaurants. I checked and got interested with Lenas.

I ordered lamb chop for the first time and Abbey was shocked. Hehe. I am astonished how tasty it is. The meat is tender and it is like that I am eating milk in a meat form. Haha. The sauce is completely perfect! This Lamb Rock Egg Sauce in Hot Pan with Pilaf Rice costs $18.80++  with free salad and tea.

Visit them, it is not that bad to splurge sometimes right? Go for it! You deserved that delicious food.

Idaten Udon | Personalize Your Udon (Citylink Mall)

ABBEY: After our stroll in Marina Barrage for our Singapore Flash Forward video, we became hungry. We stumbled upon the newly opened Idaten Udon branch at City Link Mall. You can customized your own udon from type of noodles, soup and toppings.

I got myself a bowl of curry rice, yes no udon for me, and a side dish of JUMBO mixed vegetable tempura. The portion of curry rice is small. Good thing I got the the mixed vegetable tempura which towers maybe 3-4 inches high.

The condiments like tempura sauce, wasabi, and Japanese mayo are free flow. They are in the self-service section. It also includes crumbs of the fried items. Try it in small portions :)

Since this is self-service, clear your tray upon leaving.

WILL: After our tiring day, we went at CityLink Mall for a dinner and Abbey suggested to try Idaten Udon. 

I got Beef Udon (Original Udon Noodle) and Chicken Katsu. After a bite of their noodle, my eyes brightened and this restaurant creates a mark that their noodle will be one of my comfort food. The noodle alone will make you full, the texture is very firm and the taste is delectable. 

Completely recommendable.

Leningrad Symphony - Singapore Symphony Orchestra

ABBEY: I always love the sound of strings; violins, cello, double bass, and piano (some classified it as a stringed instrument). We became Friends of SSO (Singapore Symphony Orchestra). She received 2 complimentary tickets as a gift. We planned to attend The Leningrad Symphony of the husband-and-wife tandem of Gennady Rozhdestvensky (conductor) and Viktoria Postnikova (piano). It is a two-hour concert which comprise of Piano Concerto No. 1 in C minor and Symphony No. 7 in C major.

Honestly, I just enjoyed the sound of all the instruments playing together with all the dynamcs and drama.

Even when they are preparing, the sound is great. I really appreciate the performance as this is our first time. I used to see the orchestra in books and videos. Thanks SSO.

WILL: ast year, 2015, we decided to be a friend of Singapore Symphony Orchestra. And what you will get if you enrolled to this program? That amount is tax deductible, you will get a free pair of ticket to any SSO concert (worth $120.00), a card that is entitled you discounts for participating merchant and exclusive meet the artists sessions. 

That is where we got our free February date. Scroll down for the link if you ate interested in being a SSO friend. 

Now, let's get back to Leningrad. My eyes lit and go round and all I can say is OMG!!! How this people can touched my feelings and my soul in just playing those instruments? I felt sadness, excitement (sometimes I giggled too) and I felt being a champ on the ending of this more than 2-hour event.

This is my first time to watch this kind concert and I know this will not be the last! Thanks SSO. :)

Fatboy's The Burger Bar (Orchard) - MacDonald's House

ABBEY: The Burger Bar we had dinner on was Fat Boys' conglomerate, but we wanted to visit the real thing. So one day after office we headed to their in Dhoby Ghaut (38 Orchard Road).

I ordered Fat Basterd. A couple of minutes passed, and the huge burger is on my table. I think it stood 6-7 inch tall; 2 burger patties, bacon , fried egg and cheese on a sesame bun.

I'm not able to eat it as a normal burger so the trick is to eat it by layers. :)

It was delicious, juicy and fresh. By the way it comes with serving of fries. My tummy is so full for that 198.80SGD meal.

WILL: If we need to talk something about our business, as much as possible we dined out. Why? I do not know why also that in such a limited table packed with people, our imagination flies through and creates ideas. And so, our primary reason to be in Fat Boys Burger os to have a meeting of minds and eating will be secondarily. 

I ordered The Burgatory $13.00 (because the menu advised to get ask for extra napkin, haha!) and a hot water. 

The burger arrived and once we have done the first bite, we already stopped talking and just munching the food all the way when it went half. Haha! We get into our business when the burgers were almost finished. That's good the patties are, you will forget what you are talking about. Haha! 

MacDonalds House is just located beside Plaza Singapura, be there early than 7pm or you will end up queueing on a long line of patrons.
