NamNam Noodle Bar Singapore - Suntec City Branch

ABBEY: I used to bring Wilma breakfast items from Vietnamese restaurant NamNam Noodle Bar but I haven't tasted them. I just knew they taste good. I was not wrong.


One afternoon we had snack on their branch at Suntec City mall. For less than 30sgd, we had a bowl of noodle (pho), two 6-inch sandwich (bahn mi) and drinks. 

I ordered sautéed lemongrass pork and cream cheese bahn mi and pho pork balls. The bahn mi is fresh  delicious and flavorful with the herbs used. The rice noodles' hot broth is "comforting" with its rich flavor. It is a bit spicy but I managed to finish it. The pork balls taste good as well. The condiment like the fish sauce and the herbs really bring out the unique taste on the food.












WILL: "You put my love on top, top, top." Every time Abbey surprised me of anything I always want to go to the highest point of the building where I am in just to sing the Beyonce's Love On Top. Haha.. 

I think NamNam is one of the food in his Love list for me, why? He always bring me breakfast from this store. So one Saturday afternoon before he heads to the office, we went here for lunch.

Their branch at Suntec City is spacious but as usual like their Raffles City branch there's always a long queue. We seated and from their big white screen that showed Vietnamese street foods gave me the urge to come back to Ho Chi Minh. 

I ordered Chicken Meat Balls and a Pho Pork Balls for me and Abbey to share. My chicken meatball baguette is so delicious, spicy, sweet, and yummy. Their noodle soup do not need any condiments to be added. The taste is perfect! 

They have a very big serving enough for my tummy to burst but my tastebuds really love the taste so half of my bread was wrapped for take-away. They do not have service charge unlike others but if you want to tapao your food, you will add a $0.50 for it.

Till next time NamNam. Very recommendable.

Chili's Singapore 4th Annual Big Mouth Burger Day

ABBEY: This is the third time we joined Chili's Burger Day. And again the burgers are priced at 8.88. We've learned our lessons on the first two that we attended. We went there early and we were given a table a couple of minutes on the queue. 

Upon sitting, we placed our order as we anticipated that it will take time for preparation. We were wrong; few minutes after ordering, our food came. We were surprised as they delivered the burgers fast but we were more surprised that the burgers is not that freshly-made anymore; as if that they were prepared beforehand. Good thing is that the burger still tasted good and the fries somehow compensated our disappointment. 

Looking forward for the next Burger Day and hoping that they look into more customer satisfaction and more branches to hold the event.







WILL: Every 5th month of each year I am always keeping an eye for Chili's Big Mouth Burger Day. It was held every June. Why I love to participate in it? Except for the big discounted price of $8.88 (UP $25++) this event is a feast. A very lively day. You can see people queuing and enjoying their meal. 

Again, for the second time, we redeemed our burger at Chili's Sentosa. I ordered the Southern Smokehouse Bacon Burger and for not more than 15 minutes our burgers were already on our table. Chat and I availed the 1-for-1 margarita for our drinks.

Sighhhh. The burger was served cold. The meat oozing with its own juice was all gone..so dry. Maybe they cooked the patties before that hour to prevent a long waiting time. The margarita served to my friend have a small moth. We asked the attendant about it and maybe that was the  branch manager who looked again on my friend's glass and she nodded for a replacement.

Anyway, we will still wait for this yearly event. A very lively and tummy fulfilling day. Hoping to have my medium rare beef that time.

Crosta Pizza Delivery - Authentic Wood Fired Pizza

ABBEY: No second thought in a buying 1 pair of pizza after Costa Pizza confirmed that we can avail of their one-for-one promotion. 

We got Fano (4 cheese), Verona (folded pizza), Lucca (meat lovers), and Rome (BBQ chicken). I like the most is Lucca; pizza topped with pepperoni, ham, salami, and marinated beef aling with mozarella. Very classic indeed. Fano has a moldy taste due to blue cheese. Sorry but I'm not a fan. It is as if my pizza is spoiled. 

All pizzas were cooked in wood fire so the aroma is more appetizing and good. All four pizza cost less than 50sgd.





WILL: What? You miss the aroma of bread baked in a wood-fired oven but you are too lazy to leave your beloved bed? Well, I have a very good answer on that problem, dial 629-555-05.

Crosta Pizza announced their buy one take one promotion in their fFacebook page, but I can't see the end date on that offer. When my in-laws visited us here, I sent them a private message and asked if that promo is still valid. They said it is over, but for unforseen reason or its such a blessing, they still allowed us to grab that BOGO. 

We ordered Rome(B.b.q. Chicken), Verona(Folded Pizza), Lucca(Meat Lovers), and Fano(4 Cheese) for dinner. When I opened the box, the aroma escaped gladly and enticed me to finish all 4 pizzas. Haha. They served thin crust but do not be fooled. Beware! 4 slices, I felt so full already! Haha. I love the most is their 4 cheese. 

Call their hotline and check their page for more upcoming promos.

Thanks Crosta Pizza for the great promotion :) next time I will try your gnocchi
