Orgo Bar & Restaurant

Last week, my friends and I were looking for nice pubs or bars to chill for a Saturday night and for birthday celebration. Somewhere quiet, with good view and not too expensive. So one of my friend recommended the Orgo Bar & Restaurant. It is located the Esplanade roof terrace, over looking the central business district area across the river. They have both indoor & alfresco seats. Their indoor sittings are separated into a few glass cubicals, perfect for groups who prefer some privacy. However there is a minimum spending of $300. Otherwise the outdoor seats are fine too, a little humid but not a big issue.

So this is exactly how the view looks like at night. 

Half of my friends ordered beer, the other half ordered their special drink, the Lenoble Champagne Cocktails. I chose the Champagne Cocktail - Fresh Champagne Frozen Soursop. And it turned out to be the best drink of the night. Besides soursop, there are also other fruit flavors such as mango, watermelon, banana, strawberry etc. My friends had the mango & strawberry but the soursop still goes better with the champagne. This is at $28 per drink, not cheap but i guess still worth the try. 

Just a group picture to end off the post :) 

Caffe B

The restaurant week is an yearly affair that my friends and i would never fail to participate in. So this year, after much consideration , we've chosen Caffe B. And we were truly glad that we made the right choice.

Caffe B is an Italian & Japanese fusion restaurant. It is well located in Marina Bay Sands and has 2 stories. The level 1 is a cafe bar, where you can order coffee, alcoholic drinks and light food. There are outdoor seats facing the Singapore's cityscape and when the sunset it would be a perfect quiet place to chill & relax with your love ones. The basement is Caffe B's fine dining restaurant. The restaurant has a really pretty & classy deco, there is nothing to pick on for its pretty deco and ambiance.

We went for the dinner set menu for the restaurant week at $35++ for a 3 course meal. 

To begin our meal proper, we were served with bread and spread. Normal restaurants they would serve bread with butter or vinegar/olive oil, Caffe B serves bread with minced anchovies olive spread. For people who doesn't like olive oil, this anchovies olive spread wouldn't be a turn off as anchovies goes really well with the olive oil and makes a perfect bread spread. My friends and i totally loves it. 

Next we had the salad for appetizer. It was a generous portion of fresh greens with their own made balsamic dressing. Moving on to the mains, we had a choice wither grilled salmon or beef tenderloin but we all had beef. My beef was medium done and it was so juicy and tender just by looking at it when it was served. Personally i love fatty beefs, and this tenderloin has fats at the side that makes it so flavorful. I can confidently say that this is the best beef I've ever tried in anywhere. From the picture you can see how juicy the beef was. 

Last but not least, we had the tiramisu for dessert. One of the best tiramisu I've tried too, well soaked in alcohol and flavorful. The restaurant was kind enough to serve us an additional course of dessert as we were celebrating one of my friend's birthday that day. They serve us a pretty plate of chocolate moose. 

Overall, the ambiance, food and service are all above our expectations. We had a really enjoyable time dinning in Caffe B and would definitely recommend this restaurant to people around us. The next restaurant week, we will be here again :) 

Papilloma Vaccine

Last Friday, i was finally convinced to go for the Papilloma Vaccine, also commonly known as the cervical jab. Basically this vaccine is to reduce the risk of women getting cervical cancer in the later years. Cervical cancer is very common with ladies, 16 out of every 100,00 women will get it EACH YEAR. Although the vaccine would not totally prevent a woman from getting cervical cancer, but it reduces the risk to less than 5%.

This vaccine can be taken from the age of 9 to 25 and it is most effective if it is taken before the first sexual exposure. And better still, for ladies in Singapore who are below age of 26, we're able to use $400 from our Medisave to pay for the vaccine. Leaving less than $150 to fork out from your own pocket, depending the types of vaccines you choose.

There are 2 types of vaccines. 1 is the Gardasils vaccine which has a better coverage that prevents cervical cancer, vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer and genital cancer. Yes, genital cancer. Which means guys can take the vaccine too. The second type would be Cervarix vaccine. This would prevent solely on cervical cancer. I went for the Gardasils vaccine paying a little more for a better coverage why not?

So this are how the jabs look like:

There will be 3 jabs to be taken once every 2 months. For ladies with more toned arms, you will feel the sore immediately after the jab and would last for at least a day. For ladies blessed with less toned arms, you will not feel the sore at all. That's based on me and my friends' experiences :) And no other side effects unless you have allergies to or on medication. 

Would strongly encourage all young ladies to go for the vaccine. It might not be a total prevention but at least its a protection. And what's even better with the Medisave scheme to leverage on? :D
