Weekend in Singapore

Rhommel finally decided to pay us a visit from Manila last weekend. I picked him up at the airport last Saturday. He had a really really minor altercation with immigration which caused him to be among the last few to exit out. We were both hungry but he didn't want to go to Aston's or anything familiar so we ended up at the food court.





Since we both lacked sleep, we didn't have the energy to continue exploring so we both went home and slept. What a weekend!

At around 4, when Em-J got back from work, we all got ready and headed out to Orchard. We ran into Analyn and we shared Em-J's Bonchon chickens. He insisted on eating first before heading to dinner.



Eco was also having a delayed birthday celebration so we met up with them at Outram Park. Sadly, the restaurant was closed so we ended back up in Somerset at Brotzeit.







Eco was very generous and we had a feast! I particularly liked the camembert cheese with cranberry sauce and the schnitzels. The boneless all meat pork knuckle, I was not particularly fond of. I found that it lacked a bit of flavor.





We then went to Starbucks at Yishun to have coffee while waiting for Hugo's screening.



The next day, we woke up late, just in time to get to Marina Bay to catch Wicked with Stu. We then spent time exploring the vicinity while waiting for Makansutra to open at 6.







Eating there was Rhommel's only request so we ordered some of our favorites and surprisingly, we were able to finish everything off.



Surely where there are lots of eating, it's bound to be a fun weekend and it sure was.

Another Reason to Love 4 Fingers Bonchon Chicken!

I like chicken wings but not as much as Em-J does. Whenever we go to Ikea, a hefty serving of chicken wings is always in order; A trip to the grocery would more or less yield a big bag of chicken wings. This is why when I tried Four Fingers, I immediately knew that he would like it more than anyone else. I also recommended it to Abby who ordered the chili flavored ones and didn't finish a serving. I told her to try the Soy Garlic next time.

I'm pretty sure you've already read about how great their chicken is. It is so addicting I often find myself craving for it. In fact, we've been to Bonchon thrice the past two weeks and that's a lot given that we don't really live  near Ion where they are.

I wasn't wrong about Em-J, he was on his way to watch a movie and he wanted to order the 50-pc chicken to go. He was saying that he'll end up saving more because it comes out to just about one dollar a piece. I managed to finally convince him to just get the 18-pc chicken.

Here's his take-away box:

If there's one thing that I don't like as much in Bonchon is their price! Lol! It is quite expensive at SGD 9.95 (325 pesos) for a 6-pc chicken with fries and drink, SGD 16.95 (550 pesos) for a 12-pc chicken and SGD 21.95 (720 pesos) for an 18-pc chicken and the chicken pieces are quite small; Half a chicken wing is one piece. 

Yesterday, though, when we went back to Ion to have a quick snack there, we noticed that they have a new promo. Get a 4-pc chicken for SGD 6.95 (220 pesos) with fries and drink and you get an extra 4 pieces freeeeeee! This is the best deal ever and that's another reason to love 4 Fingers Bonchon Crispy Chicken!
