City Donut – NEW Donut Specialty Shop Near Tanjong Pagar

ABBEY: A new donut shop opened and we took our chance to have some of them on its first day. Sadly the flavors I want were already sold out and the next batch will be available after 3 hours. So we settled with Pandan Ondeh-Ondeh ones. Having the donuts infused with a local favorite poses a challenge as it should taste the same. Surprisingly it was. It has the coconut taste as well as the sweetness of the palm sugar.

On our next visits (yes we came a second and third time), we were able to grab Original, Coffee, and Milo Dinosaur. The taste were the same as other shops and almost same price as well.

City Donut – NEW Donut Specialty Shop Near Tanjong Pagar - Ondeh Ondeh and Milo Dinosaur Donut

WILL: Are you fed up with the sugar rush of same old donuts company giving to you? Well, be thankful that City Donut is here to the rescue! They pride themselves with the Milo Dinosaur flavour but they hit the bull’s eye with their Ondeh Ondeh. The coconut bits give a good chew in every bite and the oozing liquid palm sugar is fantastically but not overly sweet. Perfect for a black coffee or tea.  

This donut is really recommendable and be early. They are always out of donuts on lunchtime and tea time.

Baked Sushi with Salmon Fillet and Real Crab Meat - Most Expensive Lutong Bahay Abbey Ever Cooked

VERDICT:

WILL: Many people are posting how you can have a budget-friendly baked sushi. They went for all kinds but we prefer to taste the normal toppings of a sushi, so we bought salmon and pre-cooked crab meat (not the orange imitation). 

 

The taste? Superb! Salmon and crab meat gives a good umami flavour when partnered with nori and furikake. The creaminess of sour cream and mozarella cheese is overwhelmingly good. Plus the kick of wasabi! Oh-oh! It is fulfilling. 

 

This is the most expensive ($20+)“lutong bahay” we have .. for now. Maybe we can do this once a year.

Sembawang Hot Spring Park With Cascading Pool and Egg Station - One and Only FREE Onsen in Singapore

 

WILL: Sembawang Free Hot Spring is not a new thing BUT it was closed for renovation and early 2020, National Parks opened it with a good design to accommodate more residents. 

 

Even it is quite far from our place, we still muster ourselves one early morning of July. We arrived 5 minutes after 7am and to my surprise, around 20 people were already enjoying the benefits of the hot water from the springs. 

 

They have told that hot springs have benefits like: 

Boosts Blood Circulation

Reduces Stress and Promote Sleep

Relieves Pain

Heals Skin Problems

 

We queue around 20minutes and soaked our feet for 30mins. The feel? I can’t feel my legs. Haha! It is not numb but it is like that my feet really felt the relaxation.
