#WAMAZINGRACE 

We were hosted to an amazing fun time by Wisma Atria and Word of Mouth (WOM) and it was awesome fun. we gathered in the early morning and the 4 teams inclusive of ours had to compete to finish the tasks ASAP. Unfortunately we didn't manage to clinch first place but congrats to the grand winner! ( First prize winners get to go on to the grand finals! So cool). 

 In fact all of us were winners and were gifted shopping vouchers from Wisma! 

Speaking of which I was paired up with Virginia and everything was pretty much in a frenzy because we had to do the tasks while taking photos or videos but it was a very good exercise cum fun time to spend a Saturday morning! 

Before the race, all raring to go!

Here's an intro to the stations we went to and the brands who hosted us!

But First, Morning Breakfast

Entering into the mall from the main entrance from the train station, Joe & the Juice would have striked out for it's modernised, relaxing vibe in black and pink hues.

Joe & the Juice made its debut at Wisma Atria in August. Serving an array of organic coffee, freshly made fruit and vegetable juices and rye bread sandwiches. This contemporary Danish cafe offers a funky and healthy-packed experience to shoppers grabbing a breakfast bite or a lunch-to-go.

They really did feed us VERY well with the delish fruit juices and sandwiches. Tunacado, Turkey sandwiches were toasted to crisp and healthily flavorful too.
Big Love for a yummy headstart!

1st stop: Qoosh Nail Spa

Our first stop saw us dashing up to Qoosh Nail Spa on level 3 and having our nails painted for each other on one hand. It was like dashing painting of the nails. And we had to record a video! 

Sorry no photos taken. 

2nd Stop: FitFlop

 We then sped to FitFlop at level 1. Guess you don't need much introduction. FitFlop carries ergonomic sandals, shoes and boots with world-class design, fashion sense and a innovating mix of beauty, brains and top-notch biomechanics.

In this station, we had to find the matching pair of sandals as was shown and tried it on with our suitable size before snapping photos! 

3rd stop: Joe & the Juice

We dashed back to Joe & the Juice and had to finish one big tall fruit juice and a small cup of lime plus one HUGE sandwich - which I was already too full by then. Because Virginia was sick and couldn't eat much so I  bravely took up the task of stuffing chewing.

See me below with my mouth full =DD

4th Stop: Xpressflower.com

A beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers can brighten up anyone’s day or a special occasion, such as a birthday or an anniversary. For the first time, Wisma Atria is delighted to welcome a home-grown floral shop, Xpressflower.com, into the mall at Level 1.

We really did brighten up our own day by making a bouquet according to the picture shown to us.

5th stop: Mido Optics

Located at Level 1, if you need to prescribe a stylish pair of spectacles or sunglasses then let Mido Optics do the magic for you.

Similarly, we had to find matching sunglasses from the range and took photos with them.

We look so cool no? =PP

Finally we completed the quests and came in 3rd~~ Hoo hoo... hahaha but it's the experience that counts

After the race~ ALL DONE and in glee.

Don't say I bo jio, but look out for more exciting new stores opening up in Wisma Atria.

Dine at TANGS @ TANG PLAZA

The newly revamped Island Cafe & Bar has waved goodbye to it's yesteryear outlook and I was delighted to step into a modernised, refreshed concept filled with ceiling high windows and coconut wallpapers of tropical breeze. Of course the marble tables warrant a 5-stars immediately for ease of a beautiful food #flatlay. 

Now all that's left was deciding what to order...

Taste of home. Beautifully plated spiced fired rice, comes with satay, crispy chicken, homemade achar and crackers, topped with a sunny side up. Comfort food gone atas.

Tropical decorations

A great place to chill and have a long chit chat as it's fairly not overcrowded. Nice soothing ambience.

We Eat

The crowd favourite will have to be the relatively affordable donburi sets. 

Ramen Keisuke 

With eight ramen outlets already a hit with ramen-loving-Singaporeans and our never-dying loyalty to the holy grail soupy noodle cuisine from the Land of the  Rising Sun. Just look at how many ( 8 to be precise) ramen stores Chef  Keisuke Takeda already owns in Singapore, hailing all over the island from  Tanjong Pagar, Paya Lebar Square, Bugis, 100AM mall etc, there is simply no lack of us being ramen deprived — ever. 
Though much as I love to pay the Ramen Keisuke Lobster King at Clarke Quay a visit, we happened to be in the orchard area and Kani instead of lobster would do just as well. Last I heard the Lobster King store is still threading long snaking queues even till now. 

From Japan to Singapore, his ventures were not smooth sailing and like every human met with setbacks and difficulties. Despite so, Keisuke did not give up and things changed when he won the title of Ramen Champion at the Tokyo Ramen Championships in 2011. The rest is history. 

Fast forward on his overseas venture to Singapore as his first stop,  he again met challenges when his first store opened at Millenia Walk but his perseverance and his willingness to tweak and cater to local taste, helped his venture and saw him setting up more stores over the years, each focusing on a different theme-flavor such as Tonkotsu, Tori, Lobster, Kani . 
Thank you for being in Singapore. ( smiles)

How does Kani ( Crab) King Fare?

Not sure about the other ramen outlets, but this outlet at Cineleisure, is not just another ramen dining place where you slurp and go. This outlet is filled with lots of thoughtful decorative pieces relating to Japanese culture and crab, of course. If it wasn't that crowded and such a long queue waiting, we would have loved to spend more time chilling in inside and appreciating the little quirky displays. 
We were there upon its opening at 5pm ++ and there were already 3 others in queue with many already seated in. The queue thereafter 6pm was horrendously long as well.
 So be there early! 

3 pcs $3
Gyoza was yummy and makes a good additional accompaniment to the hot pipping ramen. Crispy on the outside with ample meaty juiciness flowing on the inside.

Not forgetting, plenty of sides and pickles for you to chew on while waiting for your ramen, repeated as with every outlet by Keisuke. 
There are pickle beansprouts, spicy pickled cabbage ( the best!) and even boiled eggs.
 All on the table for you.  


Take note of the opening hours to avoid disappointment~

Opening hours: 12pm – 3pm and 5pm – 10pm (Mon-Thu),\
