1st Red Bull Flugtag Singapore - 2012

ABBEY: It's German for "flying day". The event was held at Siloso beach, Sentosa last October 28. The program kicked off at 12 noon. The beach was full of sexy and hunk bods. It's also a day for family to bond. The mechanics of the contest is to have the farthest flight from the ramp. Judges scored the contestants based on how their "aircraft" performed. A 30-second dance routine were displayed by each team and then they will go for their launch. This was organized by Red Bull and their event in Singapore is the first in Southeast Asia.

WILL: Singapore Grand Prix 2012, Human Freefall from the Edge of Space and now Red Bull gave to Singapore the ever first Flugtag to be held in Southeast Asia. 
      Husband asked me to go to this event, with his friend. So wearing our most comfortable clothing and sunblock, sun welcomed us then kissed our skins and bathe with its rays while watching the machines and its pilots fly. 
      I voted for Kaplan City Fliers & Pok Pok K but none of them hit the three top spots. But that never made me depressed, the whole event we were there to watch their performances and all of them push their masterpieces out from the ledge. Really a fun activity for whole family. We are looking forward for the next Flugtag here in Singapore. 
      Thank ou Red Bull, we never had a chance to attend the after party but we really enjoyed this event. 

Kkongdon Korea BBQ SG

ABBEY: JP Pepperdine has a lot of food chains and Kkongdon Korean is one of them. Wilma told me that she won a 20sgd voucher from JP Pepperdine Facebook contest and asked me if we can redeem it at Marina Square. 

So we went there for dinner after office. The staff warmly greeted us and showed us our table. We were advised to try their meal for two at 19.80 per pax. A choice of 2 meats (chicken, beef, and pork), kimchi cake, egg soufflé  and soup. It also includes buffet of kimchi and veggies.

WILL: Since Korean culture hits the Asia so hard, people goes berserk from fashion to food. No wonder why JP Pepperdine group brought Kkongdon Korea Bbq here in Singapore. As they want to be known to diners, they held a contest and a $20 vouchers were up, blessed, we are one of the lucky beneficiary of that contest. Ha! 
      Abbey and I just met at Esplande MRT station after office hour. Just 150 meters away, we walked to Marina Square branch, their lovely people approached us and immediately guide us on to our table.
      We ordered their BBQ Special Dinner Set for $19.80++ per person. Griller was ready and I am so thankful that they have exhaust fan per table. We set the meats and spices to our griller and while waiting for it to be cooked, we munched up their unlimited Korean side dishes. I am not fond of DIY cooking, luckily my hubby was there to wave his magic on our foods. This package came with my favorite kimchi pancake and chadol. 
      Visit their Facebook Page for more information. 

Kneipp Foot Bath Crystals

ABBEY: These are my feet's best buddy when they're tired and aching. Put warm water on a basin and mix in the crystals. Soak your feet and feel them revitalized. The product has a pleasant, relaxing aroma too. It's like you're having a foot spa at the comfort of your own home.  We got this one as prize on an online contest.

WILL: Salt was known for their antiseptic property so why not incorporate them at footbaths. This is one many products Kneipp gave Abbey when he won a $20 voucher. 

      This is a nice bottle to have. You don't need to go somewhere to soothe your swelling feet, in the comfort your own home, you can soak away all the pain that your feet feels.

      The aroma of this salt filled our room and give an extra relaxing aura. Thanks Kneipp for this organic foot crystals. Visit the Guardian Paragon branch for more info on Kneipp products. 

Spizza: Best Pizza Restaurant and Pizza Delivery in Singapore

ABBEY: It is very rewarding going to a birthday party. We went to 10th birthday bash of Spizza at Club St. They are offering their medium pizzas for 10sgd. (u.p.  starts at 15sgd). I tried their Xandra, a rich-aroma, crunchy thin crust pizza with beef, pineapple and capsicum toppings. Alongside are the condiments (chilli flakes, chilli oil, olive oil, parmesan, and salt and pepper). I also indulge in their Gnocchi. The pasta is dressed with an ample serving of thick cream sauce and cheese with cooked ham. A must-try for cheese-lovers. 

WILL: Spizza's 10th Anniversary and for bringing it back all the support that made by its diners, they offered a one-day promotion of $10.00 for a medium size pizza on any choice. We went at their 29 Club Street branch to celebrate its birthday. :)

      This is our first time to dine in their place, and I expected that the ambiance of their restaurant will be like more of fastfood chains that is in the mall but I am surprised to see the design and concept. Very romantic, ha! When walked-in, me and my husband immediately greeted their staffs a Happy Birthday and the gave back a smile to us.

      Time to fill up our tummy, I ordered a a medium size Quinta (U.P $18.00), I am really curios about the taste of Black Truffle Paste. When our pizza came out from their oven, the aroma of dough hits me really hard, it made me drool. Unlike offered by many large commercialized pizzeria, this is extra-ordinary. The taste is awesome that I can't explicate and I don't want to share it also with my husband. Haha.. Gluttony kicked in.

      After minutes of munching on my egg with black truffle paste slices, another explicit dish settled on our table. Sorry to our readers but this is my first time to eat a gnocchi. Well, we fell in love with this dumpling floating in a Gorgonzola cream with ha. Loveeeee itttttt. This costs us $17.00 and can be shared by two.

      This restaurant is very recommendable. Thanks Spizza for the promotion, more anniversary to come. Call 63777773 for delivery. 

Singapore Refuel Package - KFC Rice

ABBEY: Back in Philippines it is a "gravy" feast on a hot rice whenever we order a chicken meal at Kentucky Fried Chicken. So we were ecstatic knowing the KFC Singapore is starting to serve chicken with rice. They only have chicken with mashed potato when I got here. 

The rice meals come in two sauce; spicy tomato and original recipe sauce. We went to their branch at Punggol Plaza. I gave a huge smile on the cashier upon receiving my two orders of rice delights. Sadly, Joy, oh the irony in her name, didn't return it back. Maybe she's just having a bad day. That didn't deter me to enjoy a box of chicken and rice with cucumber and gravy at 5.95 each. It tastes great. The crunchiness of the chicken with the flavorful gravy and hot rice complement well. It is so good that we even took out one more meal. KFC also offers rice on their 2-piece chicken meal. It's great KFC Rice started here.

WILL: KFC Philippines offers rice together with the chicken and gravy to match, when it started?, that information I do not know, but that combo just introduced here in Singapore last week. 

      Gil posted a picture in his facebook wall then Abbey scheduled a breakfast just near our place. I immediately conform the idea, why?, because having breakfast is a lot sweeter than having a dinner with your loved one. ;) 

      Entering the KFC branch at Punggol Plaza, we hurriedly ordered 2 sets with free green tea. Gosh, this is it. Eating out in KFC just like we were doing back home. It is so yummy we took one more set meal home. ;) Way to go KFC! Cheers! 

Deli Turk Turkish Cuisine - Suntec Mall

ABBEY: We were looking for a place to dine at Suntec City Mall and was about to order a meal at Pangat. Suddenly, Wilma asked if we can try Turkish Cuisine diner. We were warmly welcomed by their staff and handed us the menu upon seating. We looked for shawarma but they don't serve it and asked us if we would like to try pide, an oval shaped pizza like bread. I got the vegan one. The crust is crunchy and the toppings has a good aroma which makes you crave for more. We had a complimentary apple tea served in a fancy shot glass.

WILL: I am lucky girl. Every time I am craving for something, the food is just around us, its either we can directly buy it from any store or Abbey will cook it for me. Last August, I am really into shawarma, that was up to point that I asked Abbey to cook and wrap the pork left-over meat. Haha.

      So this craziness hits me when we are roaming around the Suntec, very blessed, we saw the Deli Turk Tukish Cuisine. Upon settling down, I immediately asked their staff if do they have shawarma, they advise us to take the Kebab and they will wrap it for me. Immediately agreed to the offer. Husband went for vegetarian pizza pied. The chicken kebab taste so nice, the sauce coming out from it gave an instant bliss to my mouth. The pizza pide is extrmely nice, you will never know that the topping is all vegies. Oh darn, I almost eat all the pide, haha..

      As usual, Abbey and I are talking over the food, we normally discuss everything and anything. That time, we are talking about the progress of this couple's blog, we reminisce how it started and on now having a thousand of views from different parts of the world. Very fulfilling. 

      We send over some compliments once we have a good dining experience in every restaurant we pig-out. After saying thank you for serving a good food to us, a complimentary apple tea made its way to our table. Oh darl, I will tell you this is my cup of tea. I can drink a pitcher of that. Haha! 

      This is located at Suntec #03-04 and they have another brach at 162 Upper East Coast Road. 

Pizza Hut Tropical Hawaiian

ABBEY: Pizza Hut revealed again another innovation for their pizza. Cheese and were combined in perimeter of their crust. One more reason to bite the pie from the other end. For sgd27.90, you can have 1 regular pizza, 2 soups and drinks. I wonder what would be their next creation.

WILL: This month of October I am into pizza. When Abbey told me that we will be starving while waiting for our meeting that night, I suggest to go to Harbourfront Centre and in to Pizza Hut. I really miss the distinctive taste of their dough, of the oil around the pan and specially their stuffed crust, omg!!! 

      So there we were, sitting and waiting for our order of super pan delight meal costs $27.90 consisted of 2 sparkles, 2 soup of the day and regular pan pizza. Then food went their way to our table. Excitedly we ate the soup then the pizza. Every bite on every slice  is extremely amazing, extremely satisfying. I am pretty sure we really miss pizza hut. Thanks for this dinner. You made us so full that night. 

La Cantina Operetta

ABBEY: This was a newly-opened shop at Prinsep Street. They invite diners to come and taste their pizza that was cooked in a one of a kind oven, . I was skeptical by the size of what they call a 5-dollar pizza during their promotion. 

Lo and behold the margherita pizza is larger than my big hand. It was charred in perfection giving the crust a good crunch. The sauce compliments well with the dough which gives you a flavorful bite. Putting some of their chili oil will make it more aromatic. We also tried their four-cheese pasta. It was so delicious. Good comfort food after a day's work. It costs 22sgd and 3sgd per drink.

WILL: If you really love breads or pizza, the mere smell of it you will know if it was cooked from an industrial o from a firewood oven. L'Opera Group recently opened their Prinsep St. Branch, to cater the tourist checked-in to the hotel around the area and the celebratory students of SOTA.

      We once dined to one of their sister company Pizzeria L'Operatta located at Icon Village, so here we know somehow what to expect. We arrived at La Cantina Operatta just in time for a dinner. Hubby and I was just out from the office then, so we are really starving to death. 

      When we got in the place, I am so amused, this is not the ambiance I am expecting. My mind imagined that their place is like a customary eatery that I can see in the malls, but I brain was very wrong. This place is great to unwind, when you will stay inside most specially on the second floor, you will not here any noise of the vehicles, nor the music of the neighboring restaurants , here you can focus to your dining mate and to your plate. Haha. Very romantic lighting indeed. 

      We ordered 2 Pizza Margherita for $5 each and a plate o Penne Alla Quattro Formaggi. Abbey is very hesitant that we only ask for those, he say they might have a small serving, but when the pizza made its way to our table, he was so astounded how huge it is. bigger than his hand (Abbey is 6-foot tall, yes he have a big hands) Haha. Pizza alone can make my tummy full. They gave us their specially made chilli oil, and as hubby knew what I will do, I poured a lot oil on top of my pizza and every bite of those was really appreciated by my mouth. I finished my whole pizza haha. Then the pasta is a good choice also, the yummy cheese is so tasty with its al-dente penne pasta. I want to eat more but my stomach will be bursting anytime soon. Haha.
