Gustazo's Gourmet Tuyo Pasta

VERDICT 
ABBEY: Wow, this is another version of Wilma’s pasta: cooked pasta with gourmet tuyo and cherry tomatoes. This is delicious and easy to cook. 

I always go for a second serving; carb-overload. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Budae Jjigae (Army Stew)

VERDICT
WILL: Abbey and I achieved another milestone financially and to celebrate that Abbey prepared Budae Jjigae as our dinner (because we miss the Budae Jjigae of Gangnam Wings). 

Abbey, made a simple and yet tummy-filling Korean Army Stew even the ingredients are not that much. 

The kimchi blended well with the soup and spiciness just gave another punch of flavour. Don't ever-ever skip rice cake on this meal! 

Happy eating.

StraitsKitchen (Halal Dinner Buffet) at Grand Hyatt Singapore

ABBEY: At Straits Kitchen was where Wilma’s company held their send off to her. The food choices here is great. They have Indian, Malaysian, Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese, and Western cuisines. 

I got sushi and sashimi for starter. Then I indulged myself with tandoori chicken, satays, fish and shrimp. I don’t know what happened but I got full in short amount of time but it seems I haven’t eaten much. 

I tried their durian ice cream and I need to get the hang of it. All I can say is that I’m not a fan yet. 

This hotel restaurant is definitely recommended.

WILL: Rejoice threw a farewell party for me and it was celebrated at StaitsKitchen in Grand Hyatt Singapore. 

You will think, oh it is just a local food! Nothing's new! WRONG! This is higher level of hawker food! 

What I love the most? Their chilli crab! The spiciness is just enough to blow your tastebuds! Next, the laksa. Laksa's soup is thick! Oh my! If I can only bring 5 of those home! Hahaha. Then, the desserts are amazingly tasty. The coconut toppings on it and the sweetness makes me comeback and stuff it all in my mouth. Haha. Gluttony! And before I forgot, thank you for the unlimited mangosteen. Haha! My favorite fruit. 

If you have friends or business associates visiting Singapore, this is a must-dine buffet! 

Yummmmy!
