Slurp Up : The Soup Spoon

-
Here's another first! Last Saturday, Paul and I were able to watch our first movie here in the Lion City. Given that the tickets are not that cheap in this side of the world, we agreed to choose our movie wisely and to go for the big blockbuster ones to make it more worth our while (and money). Iron Man opened a week and a half ago and it was only last Saturday that we were all able to find a common time to watch it. For those who haven't watched it, I urge you to do so. I personally enjoyed the movie and the fact that I didn't fall asleep is a big indicator that the movie got my attention all throughout the 2-hour viewing period. The boys actually had mixed feelings about it but well, that's my own opinion. :) 

We got to Vivo City (currently my favorite mall in Singapore) an hour before movie time. Thus, we have to find a place that serves quick and good food. It was a toss between Carl's Jr and Soup Spoon. Since Paul and I wanted something healthy, we went for the latter instead. We've both been to Soup Spoon during our first few days here in the Lion City and the experience was pretty much forgettable. Our soups were both so bland and we still ended up so hungry afterwards. As such, this is really us giving Soup Spoon a 2nd chance and we both hope this time it'll work its charm on us. 

The store was packed and we had less than an hour to go! We had to strategize well. Paul went to wait for a table to clear up while I made a bee line towards the counter. It's self-service system here where you place your order at the counter, wait for it and carry your tray to your table. We had a heavy pasta lunch (thanks to the ever talented Irene!) so we just got a bowl of soup each.

I went for the Simon and Garfunkel Chicken and Mushroom Ragout (S$7.80) which was a creamy soup filled with tender chicken fillet, herbs and (get this) SIX kinds of mushrooms! As I was enjoying this soup, my best friend T came to mind as she loves mushrooms just as much as I do. I didn't have to add any salt or pepper into my soup as it was really good and flavorful. Each bowl of soup is served with warm crusty bread and I had this with some salted butter. Yum!

Paul tried the Beef Goulash (S$7.90) which I think was one of Soup Spoon's best-seller judging from the almost empty pot in the counter. This soup is just perfect for Paul as it had everything he loves -- prime cut beef, red and green bell peppers, potatoes and lots of tomatoes. He was so happy with his soup that all I got was a small spoonful and within minutes, his bowl was empty!

I'm sure glad we gave Soup Spoon a second chance and with this will surely followa hundred more. For those who loves soup, be sure to check Soup Spoon out and do avail of their Souperholic card to earn points for every $5 purchase.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
