We had paid a visit to Suntec City for shopping on the weekend night! We stopped for dinner to rest ourselves at Maccha House which is located at the ground floor of the shopping mall. To be frank, there are many restaurants to choose for at the ground floor, you can find yourself in the food heaven with outlets such as italian, thai, chinese, western, korean and etcetera. We were in dilemma choosing for place to dine. Especially at weekend, restaurants in Singapore are always crowded and one needs to queue outside in order waiting to be seated, it is not a bizarre view. We roamed around and finally my eyes were captivated by this green tasty menu which is matcha! Yeah. my love to match is just growing stronger and stronger, and I just couldn't explain why. Only the matcha reason is solid enough to make me decided for dinner at the Japanese restaurant - Maccha House! 😍

Let's settle ourselves down and look at the menu. You can see there are few promotions available on the restaurant. Even myself stucked in dilemma again when placing the food order. The food menu is not truly extensive, mostly you can find bento set and hotpot set. However, the one puts me in dilemma is the extensive range of beverages and desserts to choose from, and of course they are all matcha! Matcha lover, just drop by here and treat your taste bud!

Set meals with an attractive 20% off on any drink of the menu!
Must complete your meal with  any nice drink or dessert!

Arghh... the drink's menu! 💘


The PAIR set meal for consideration!

My personal favorite on matcha drink is the type that is not very sweet as the sweetness would cover the bitterness of the matcha. As much as I love to eat sweet desserts and chocolates, when it comes to matcha, I just adore the bitterness of it.. 😏 Haha.. Weirdo? Or speaking nicely, is a person who truly knows how to enjoy the true-self of matcha, just like the original taste over the artificial one thou 😋. Hence, I have asked the waiter which one is the recommended drink on the menu, and for sure he pointed me the traditional maccha menu, it is actually a drink which you can make your own matcha drink by mixing the matcha powder and hot water yourself, just like the japan style tea culture I guess? I nodded my head to give the menu a try.. And, guess what, after a few minutes I have changed my mind to another drink on the menu which is maccha latte float with shiratoma, it was my initial pick but I was carried away by the waiter. However, I just couldn't take my eyes away from this menu which has matcha drink, together with matcha ice cream on top and also the bouncy balls as topping. Duhh... girls... Always indecisive.. 😂 Or just like to follow the mood.. 😜

So after the long story just now, that's the drink that arrived!
Left: Maccha chocolate latte. Right: Maccha latte float with shiratoma.
They are just too good.. My latte addiction fixed on that night 😃

Sukiyaki hotpot set



Maccha house bento - everything with matcha!!
Hmm, why not on sushi as well.. 😝

Zoom into maccha house bento, we can see the side dishes here!
Nice little pieces of cakes as well. 

Oh ya not to forget to mention on this, the noodles served in the menu
are actually made from matcha. Yummy! 💜

Personally, I prefer the noodles to be the udon type and not the ramen type. I feel that the "fat" udon noodles has more bouncy feeling on your taste bud and the green tea smell could be stronger in the sense? In Singapore, ramen is more sought after than udon, there are actually many ramen shops booming around, but as much as I love matcha, I just love udon as well! Set aside the noodles portion, the taste is actually not bad and is a place to get decent japanese food. After the food tasting, slowly enjoy the drink and just sit down, relax, surf the internet or just selfies like what we do. 😄Of course, we choose the seatings facing the outside view as well, you still remember the colorful water fountain which I mentioned in the FAQ section earlier right.

Night view, relax while you can..


The price is also considerably cheap as you can see from the menu above. My choice on maccha house bento set is priced at $9.99, and you able to get yourself  main course, side dish, sushi, dessert! My bf choice on sukiyaki hotpot set is priced at $13.99, and you able to savour the hotpot with tons of meats inside, noodle soup, and sushi! However, drinks are slightly on the expensive side, but you complete them with the set meal which means you are entitled to get 20% off drinks as well!

We had a fun dating night at Marina Bay Sands Singapore. We visited here in conjunction with the annual event iLight festival in MBS Singapore. This programme runs from 9 March 2018 to 1 April 2018. There are a total of 22 light installations around the Marina Bay Sands area such as Art Science Museum, Helix Bridge, Merlion Park and etcetera. The light installations are created by artists from Singapore and around the world. They are energy saving light installations to remind people to be environmentally friendly and protect our Mother Earth. The event itself is meaningful and is located directly at Marina Bay Waterfront which is a tourist hotspot. So hit the place and enjoy the seabreeze for the night. For more details, refer to the map below for the light installation directory and say ready, set, go! 😁

iLight MAP

We started from he exterior of Art Science Museum and able to catch the night display on the beautiful lotus building of the museum. We then walked on the Helix Bridge and took few shots of night view over there. Once you alight from Helix Bridge, you will reach Art Zoo inflatable fun zone for family and kids. Admission fees are required for this inflatable fun zone.


Anyone is interested to shop in Gucci building which is built on the water?

Beautiful and sparkling display on the lotus shaped Art Science Museum!

Helix Bridge as the backdrop

On top of Helix Bridge, overlooking inflatable fun zone area

Inflatable fun zone for your kids! Any unicorn lover here? I heard some voices. yeah


The best night view here, we can see Helix Bridge, Marina Bay Sands
and Art Science Museum (lotus shaped) in this angle

After we passed the Art Zoo area, we continued our walking journey and there are quite a number of light installations which are creative and certainly lit up the night. The light installation is scattered around the entire Marina Bay Sands and we ended up spent 3 hours just to view half of the light installation.

Feel like in Avatar movie. Any chance to meet Lee Kwang Soo
(Korean Runningman member) here? L.O.L 😂

And so it is called Dancing Grass

So called as Butterfly Effect, thousands of butterflies lit up the place

Light up when you hit the drum, by using certain frequencies of sounds and convert them to light.
Something like that? My science is not that good.. 😄 I just know I am pink-ish girl..

And he is blue-ish guy.. Blush.. 😚

So called Milk Bottle Cows display, which you can see
cow and kettle here.. Milk milk please 😆

The signature Singapore's Merlion becomes so colorful with flowers 
during the iLight event. Some special sight to be captured especially 
not available all the time right.

Enjoying sea breeze with this night view

The famous landmark in Singapore!

We ended our iLight tour in this display so called With Love..
Holding hands with my love and reach this place is quite romantic huh.. Yeah!

Before we reached our last stop of With Love display as the big red heart photo above, we had detoured to Victoria Theater Singapore. It looks so majestic and grand especially at night! Outside the Victoria Theater, there is one big field for you to roll around  selfie, selfie and selfie! 💛

Majestic white-washed building! Falling in love, personal opinion better than iLight display.. Haha..

Wefie wefie with our shadows at the night 💜

Wefie wefie with our real faces again and again! 😍

There are carnivals just beside the event as well and you may consider to go there for some adrenaline rush! Or just hit your luck to grab any bear toys back home, Yeepie!
