Jurong Bird Park

ABBEY: We went here May 1. A lot people visited the park as it is a public holiday. We bought our tickets for less than 100sgd (4 pax). We first saw the flamingo lake and the parrots. Next are the penguins, ducks and pelicans. Birds of prey like eagles and vultures and colorful southeast Asian birds can be seen here. The tallest man-made waterfall and largest collection of helikonias is at this park as well. We also attended shows where the birds displayed their abilities and where Wilma won a complimentary drink. We rode the tram and ended the trip at a snack in Bongo Burgers.























WILL: The l  world's largest bird park in terms of number of birds. From Boon Lay Bus Interchange you can queue for Bus 194.
      Well, like the Singapore Zoo, this is a very nice place, it seems that there are no living animals in it. Why? No poop and pee stench. Clean and so green. As I told, this is the largest bird park for $23 you can checkout different species of bird and watch their 2 shows for free. Very recommendable for family bonding. 
      Blooming orchids and black swan will welcome you. Very unforgettable is the magnificent man-made waterfall, this is the highest in the world. If you are thirsty and hungry some small stores are around the area. 
      Visit this park, half day is enough to see all the penguins, flamingo, hawks, parrots, etc...etc. :)

Standing Sushi Bar

ABBEY: At last we set foot on this diner to have our anniversary dinner. We did an honest mistake by quoting Standing Sushi bar in one of our review instead of Sushi express. 

I tried their Unagi set including rice, miso soup, salad and unagi. The fish is delicious; it complemented the sauce well. We got 1 cup of sake each; man, that has a kick.  The day we visited it, they have promo for 5 slices of sashimi at 2sgd (every Monday). Maybe will be able to dine there again.








WILL: Happy Anniversary Baby! So glad, one year passed and there is no big problems went trough our relationship. 
      This is it! A dinner date on our first year! After office, we paved our way to Marina and looked for this restaurant. Go Japanese! Haha! 
      Abbey called for reservation. Its Monday then and they have a promo. A $2 for salmon sashimi and $1 for every shot of sake. I think we ate almost 3 plates of sashimi and one plate of spicy tuna sushi. This is my first time to drink a sake and 2 shots of it made Abbey dizzy. Haha. Thats the first time I saw him with really red face. Hahaha!

Ferrero Rondnoir

ABBEY: We got this as give away from Sheng Shiong. From what I've tasted it's the same composition but the difference is that dark chocolate is used. The chocolate in the middle of each ball is creamy and has a strong taste. So good that I ate more than half of the treat :) This costs 9sgd.




WILL: My Kuya Laleng is very happy when my suitors gave me ferrero chocolates.  i don't know why they were always giving me that gold foiled choco, if they only knew that Milka can only satisfy my sweet tooth for choco. Hehe. But!, when I tasted this rond noir, I declare that this is my favorite chocolate now. :D 
      What's new? Instead of milky chocolate the wafery center was covered with black chocolate. That's the only new thing hehe. I wonder why just now Ferrero created this? Well, its not too late! Thanks ferrero.
