It has been a busy start to the new year and in less than 15 days’ time, it will be the Lunar New Year and I’m pretty excited because according to multiple Fengshui Masters’ prediction, the 2017 outlook for those born in the year of the Dragon seems quite promising.
I must admit that getting ready for the Lunar New Year is a tedious yearly affair as there are so many things to do and prepare; but it is also a good opportunity to do some spring cleaning, get some new clothes, shoes, accessories, and even a new hairdo.
Prices for Bak Kwa (barbecued sweet meat), New Year goodies, reunion dinners and even hairstyling services tend to inflate during this season and it is no surprise why most Singaporeans will choose to go to Malaysia to do their shopping since the exchange rate is rather favourable at 1 Singapore Dollars to 3 Malaysian Ringgit.
If going across the causeway is too much of a hassle (yes, do expect long queues and traffic jams), some shopping malls like Marina Square do have special promotions and offers too.
From now till 22 January, that are handpicked for you and your loved ones. Just sign up with your Facebook account and you will be given 4 sure-win scratch cards to chose from participating merchants such as Kimage, Salon Orient, Posh Wellness, Zoom Salon, Phiten, and Kenko Wellness.

Also, you can redeem a set of Red Packets at the Customer Service Counters with a minimum spend of $80 and a $10 Marine Square Gift Voucher with a minimum spend of $150!
Last Wednesday, we were very privileged to have been invited to Manhattan Fish Market at The Dining Edition @ Marina Square, for a really sumptuous food-tasting session and to be honest, Manhattan Fish Market is no stranger to us as we often dine there at least once every 2 months. Furthermore, most people [including us] would agree that the food and beverage offering at Manhattan Fish Market is way better than Fish and Co.
Well, after months of absence at Marina Square due to renovations, Manhattan Fish Market recently re-opened its outlet at ‘The Dining Edition’ space in the mall with a totally brand new look which will delight diners.

Here’s What We Had During The Food-Tasting Session
Starter Garlic Herb Mussels [SGD$7.95++]
Poached mussels in Manhattan Fish Market’s signature garlic herb sauce and served with baguette. We like this dish a lot and we highly recommend it to people whom are into eating mussels. The garlic herb sauce is flavourful and it complements the mussels pretty well.
Baked Dish Spicy Baked Fish [SGD$15.95++]
Savor a baked dory fillet in extra spicy marination complemented with garlic herb rice and vegetables that is guaranteed to jumpstart your senses. We highly recommend it to people whom can take spicy food because the Spicy Baked Fish might be too spicy for some people. As for us, we absolutely love it because of its tantalising taste!
This platter serves up generous portions of hand-battered fish fillets, oysters, and calamari. Given the large portions, we highly recommend the Manhattan Flaming Seafood Platter for big-eaters to satisfy their growling stomachs.
Dessert Sizzling Brownie with Ice-cream [SGD$9.90++]
Good for sharing, the Sizzling Brownie with Ice Cream is a perfect harmony of elements. Enjoy this warm sizzling brownie, topped with smooth vanilla ice-cream in sweet caramel sauce and nuts. Truly, a perfect way to a sweet ending.
Smoothie Citrus Mint [SGD$5.50++]
Cool off with the refreshing taste of freshly squeezed lemons and mints! The Citrus Mint is Manhattan Fish Market’s signature drink and it has always been my favourite ever since I first dined at their restaurant.
Mocktail Gummy Bear [SGD$5.50++]
The exciting flavors of Curacao and tropical fruit mix is guaranteed to liven up your senses. Simply bubbly, it is called Gummy Bear because it tastes like the Gummy Bear candies.
