3 reasons to check out Marina at Keppel Bay Singapore this season!

Out of mood? Out of idea? Out of fun? Marina Keppel Bay Singapore is a destination for everyone, I promise!

By now, you should be bounded to Singapore for more than a year, without any traveling to other countries – all due to the preventive measures after Covid 19 has hit the world mercilessly in late 2019.

While we are determine to turn the pandemic ordeal around by reducing the number of infected cases, we need to live our lives fully to keep the sane-selves too.

To do so, we need to find something to do! But ideas are running low and everything seemed to be extra average without much excitement by now. I know we should count on our blessings as we can lead lives the normal way with just a mask on. However, the fun element is very much needed as a pull factor to encourage Singaporeans getting out from their comfortable homes!

a little more on Marina Keppel Bay Singapore

This world-class Keppel Bay waterfront precinct sits on the site that was once Keppel Shipyard in the 1960s. Through Keppel’s intensive clean-up efforts, Keppel Bay is now an underwater sanctuary teeming with marine life.

Marina at Keppel Bay was constructed based on an open concept which allows water to flow freely through the entire basin during the change of tides, with nutrients and plankton being carried through the waters as currents flow. As a result, the marina is now home to a vibrant aquatic community of more than 129 different species of marine life. The City Reef at Keppel Bay project is an initiative to spread awareness and encourage conservation of marine life in the marina’s waters.

Some of the underwater flora and fauna in the marina’s waters include cave corals, brightly coloured clown fish, juvenile batfish, tiger tail seahorse and even sea turtles. Marina at Keppel Bay takes an active role in minimising hazards that could potentially impact the environment. Along the pontoons, the reticulated vacuum sewer pump-out system discourages boaters from discharging their black and grey water into the waters.

Boat owners are recommended to install four-stroke engines in their boats, as opposed to two-stroke, to reduce exhaust pollution. They are also encouraged to use biodegradable washing liquids and detergents during vessel-cleaning. The Marina also uses compost fertilizers to prevent damage to the marine life in the waters should there be any wash off from land.

Fishing and installation of fishing traps are also prohibited in the marina. This helps to sustain a well- balanced eco-system and food chain amongst the marine life. These efforts are further reinforced with the launch of the Marina Guide – a book of rules which all boat owners are required to adhere to. These initiatives, among others, reinforce Marina at Keppel Bay’s commitment to environmental protection!

Marina at Keppel Bay is one of the most-awarded marinas in the region, having clinched the accolades and achievements such as accredited 5 Gold Anchor international rating by the Marina Industries Association (MIA), as well as accredited as Clean Marina and Fish Friendly Marina by Marina Industries Association (MIA).

Brand New Party Experience with PartyDiva.Co!

Celebrations can start from homes and we will find ways to create new memories with our love ones for all our special occasions.

party diva!

2020 is EPIC. We lived half a year like a lifetime and get the longest weekends that we always wanted. Since COVID 19 hit us, the virus has morphed into a globally pandemic that has changed the way we live and interact with one another.

We now face new norms of socializing and this makes me cherish the company of my loved ones even more. Celebrations should start from our safer home and from there, we can begin to find ways to create new memories for all our special occasions.

With National Day coming this 9 August, how would you spend this special day with your loved ones? The National Day Parade (NDP) is gonna focus on Singaporeans celebrating in our homes, instead of the floating platform at Marina Bay.

That said, I’m officially a party planner for my family! And I need to find a variety of National Day themed products to make my celebration a truly memorable one!

PartyDiva.Co,
https://partydiva.co/sg55, a collaborative e-commerce & marketplace for Gifting, Events and Party Planning came into my rescue! It is an e-commerce marketplace that brings merchants & consumers together all in one place for a seamless party planning experience.

This National Day, besides retailing their own thematic decorative, PartyDiva.Co also pulled together a roster of thematic offerings curated by some of our favorite homegrown brands! With them, I get to support local brands while feasting my tummy & eyes on their limited edition offerings.

Just a few clicks online & what I wanted got delivered to my doorstep! I love this truly Singapore experience!

Check out what I have selected from PartyDiva.Co for my National Day Celebration with my family!

1) AMICI Catering

Celebration always involves food, and this is especially true for Singaporeans since eating good food is our national hobby! AMICI Catering, a homegrown boutique caterer, offers this mini gourmet 5-course National Day Buffet ($108+) that let me pick my preferred dish for each course. This set can feed up to 7 people.

party diva!

Check out their exclusive National Day menu offerings of up to 15 different dishes for selection – I had a hard time deciding myself. The specially designed menu is a hearty East-meets-West fusion repertoire that tastes just as good as it sounds!

The mini buffet came in microwaveable boxes, with plates, utensils, serviettes & plastic table cloth too. All of these are placed neatly in a heat insulated bag to keep the food warm while I prepare and doll up for my celebratory meal.

party diva!

I always relish a freshly made gourmet meal and I simply adored what I have chosen here. The Garlic Fried Rice with Chicken Floss & Spring Onion, Oven-baked Cajun Style Basa Fish with Peppers and Mixed Vegetables Cutlets are so delicious!

party diva!

This National Day Set comes with a complimentary 6” Raspberry Lychee Rose Cake too, concluding the meal on a sweet note. Nice one!

And if you think a complimentary cake doesn’t taste good, you are wrong. This cake from AMICI Catering is fantastic! Moist, soft and fluffy – every mouthful is decked with juicy lychee & perfumed with a delicate rose fragrance, super delish!

2) Nasi Lemak Indulgence

Greedy me saw this & I know I must have it! National Day MUST HAVE a national dish for celebration right? YES! OMG this limited edition savory 8-inch Nasi Lemak Cake ($132) from Nasi Lemak Indulgence is the bomb! Taking a leaf from grandma’s old recipe book, Nasi Lemak Indulgence re-created the traditional Nasi Lemak with their very own twist.

One bite of the ‘cake’ packs the burst of the combinative flavors that makes the Nasi Lemak a true Singaporean favorite. I 10000% recommend you to get this if you are a true nasi lemak lover with a taste of nostalgia & want to impress your love ones!

party diva!

This beautiful cake is here to tantalize our tastebuds while representing our ethnic groups with the variety of specially selected ingredients.

The seasoned sambal topped with Goreng Tempeh, anchovies peanuts in Kicap Manis is meant as a symbolic gesture towards the Malay in Singapore. Likewise, the Papadum is a nod to our Indian community, accompanied with Fried Shrimp Paste Chicken and Blue Pea Rice as a token for the Chinese & Peranakan in Singapore.

Artfully pieced together as one, the cake presents itself as a representation of celebration, not just for good food and great times, but for the diversity that makes Singapore such a special place for us. From meaning to flavor, this has got everything I want in a satisfying nasi lemak meal – now I can have my cake and eat it!

Cut this up like a cake and served! It is pretty easy to cut but difficult for me because I felt really bad ‘destroying’ it.

I reckon this cake can cut up to 10 big slices though there are only 8 chicken wings. Even without the chicken wings, rest assured it will still be highly satisfying for everyone.

Nasi Lemak Indulgence freshly makes their cakes and the cake was warm when it arrived at my place. The thick layers of eggy omelette, chunky otah and yummy blue pea coconut rice go so well together with the sweet & spicy sambal to add a touch of tang to the symphony of flavorsEven the cucumber slices by the side taste so good! The bottle of papadum that comes with the cake adds crunch to the cake too.

3) Kueh Ho Jiak

party diva!

National Day celebration also means having heritage food right? My family loves nonya kueh and decided to get the award winning Kueh Ho Jiak for snacks.

Kueh Ho Jiak is famous for their varying rendition of traditional kuehs with aesthetics that go in line for any festive celebration or trend – all without the use of artificial colorings.

Their handmade kuehs are also popular because they can be customized to suit different occasions & celebrations. Look at these beautifully designed ones for their National Day Celebratory Platter ($37.50) here, so pretty & patriotic right?

party diva!

This platter has red & white kuehs representing the Singapore flag6 mini png kuehs (rice cake), 5 kueh lapis and 4 Merlion ang ku kuehs (with grated coconut fillings) plated beautifully on fragrant pandan leaves. All of these are also vegan with no eggs used.

4) Three Wisemen

party diva!

By now, most people know I love my alcohol and a celebration is not considered as one unless it comes with it. Three Wisemen tops this off with a really yummy NDP-themed cocktail, the Nana Sling! ($90, set of 5 x 120ml bottles).

party diva!

Nana Sling is a seasonal Summer cocktail that requires 5 days to make. An unmistakably tropical concoction, this drink is a heady mix of lemon juice, homemade blossom water, pomegranate syrup and Brugal Rum infused with banana leaves, all combined with the intense orange flavour from shots of Cointreau. Cheers with the cute bottles!

5) Pétale Tea

party diva!

What about my non alcoholic family members? Of course they are also my priority and I prepared limited-edition blooming tea from Pétale Tea for them!

party diva!

As Singapore’s No.1 blooming tea expert, this National Day gift set ($65), includes their limited-edition tea “My Fair Lady”, 5 best-selling tea flavours and 2 tea glasses to complete the set! The tea glasses are really perfect for us to admire at the tea bloom before enjoying it – a complete sensory experience!

Beautiful blooming teas with tantalizing flavors & many health benefits. This drinkable art-in-the-glass is ready in just 5 to 10 mins!

(PRODUCT SHARING) miu Tomato Juice (Gold) by Nagoya LIDA Farm at METRO IPPIN

This is a holy grail for someone starting on tomato juice!

I have been drinking tomato juice which I believe for its health benefits, so looking out for more varieties and taste testing become relatable to me.

How often do you see tomato juice being bottled up so beautifully? Only the Japanese would and this miu Tomato Juice Gold ($40) from Nagoya Lida Farm is absolutely stunning with its long flute-like bottle. It bottle contains 300ml of tomato juice that is translucent.

miu Tomato Juice Gold has got gold standard because it is made from cherry tomatoes harvested in Nagoya, which is famous for their high sugar content. The sugar is produced naturally with the help of organic fertilizer, bonito and kelp. This tomato juice has no additional sugar, salt, coloring or preservatives. It is also additive and chemical free.

miu Tomato Juice tasted light and refreshing, almost like a tomato drink instead of juice. This is a little different from Ajikoi Tomato Juice (that I reviewed previously) which is thicker in viscosity and heavier in taste. Best to serve this tomato juice chilled or you can use it as a cocktail ingredient.

miu Tomato Juice (Gold) can be purchased at Ippin Section of Metro Level 4.
