Last year, we celebrated Hugo Wolf's birthday with Jolly Rosa making a birthday cake from Icing Room and throwing a birthday party with our flock at home. This year we went out to celebrate

NICI-Mania celebrated Hugo Wolf's 2nd birthday in June this year in a very nice hotel stay at Gallery Hotel (which will be featured in future entries)

Our black forest birthday cake is from from TCC.

 Champagne?!

 Its 6 bottles of 1664 Kronenbourg Blanc. Yummy!

After the beer and birthday cake, we head out to Party World for some Karaoke!

Fish n Chips at Fish and Co

One beautiful evening Hugo Wolf dated Jolly Rosa to eat Fish n Chips at Fish and Co. We are at The Glass House outlet at Park Mall. This is the most unique Fish and Co outlet in Singapore, we'll show you why.


Meantime, where's Rosa? Hugo Wolf waited, pondered and waited, and waited...
in front of the glass house until sun set but still no sign of Rosa


A familiar voice closes in and a dejavu strong pat on Hugo Wolf's shoulder would only mean..Jolly Rosa: Come Hugo, let's go in and have our Fish n Chips!

Our nici couple is very excited to be going out on a date for the first time. Jolly Rosa and Hugo Wolf is gonna order the New York Fish n Chips and the Best Fish n Chips in town.

One of the most distinguishing furnishing at The Glass House Fish and Co is the brightly lit rows of colorful glass bottles behind the counter.


The most unique architectural feature of The Glass House Fish and Co is the building covered with huge glass panels from the top to the sides.

Picture on the left shows a small stage with music equipments but we never seen live bands performing here before.



Seafood in a pan is Fish and Co's tagline. Yes, they actually do serve their fish n chips in the real pan but its not the same pan that they use to cook your seafood. Everything here is deep fried in a huge electric deep fryer and then served on the pan.

Jolly Rosa exclaims to Hugo Wolf: Hey did you see that? There's a skeleton fish on our table! Hugo blatantly replied: Fish and Co killed the fish to make our fish n chips and left the remains on our table! After our nici couple's nonsense talk, their drink is here..

They ordered the Tropical Punch, which is 1 for 1 at $3.90 so its perfect for our nici toy couple. This is the usual style of drinks at Fish and Co with the syrup at the bottom and the soda on top. You have to mix them well before drinking.

While they continued to wait for their fish n chips to come, Hugo wolf wanna show you the ceiling of The Glass House Fish and Co building. Its...made of glass! 

On our right is the semi spiral staircase leading to the 2nd floor but its usually not opened unless for some special occasion.



     After about 15 minutes, their fish n chips arrived!!
Jolly Rosa ordered the New York Fish n Chips at $15.95 and as what Fish n Co promised - Seafood in a pan served to you.

On the outside, it looks exactly the same as your normal fish n chips, so they put an american flag to differentiate between the normal fish n chips and this New York fish n chips.

On the inside of the New York fish n chips, it is stuffed filled with mozzarella cheese. But its not the kind of cheese that will drip out like cheese sausages, its rather dry making the fish n chips fish fillet dry too.

Upon closer inspection you can see the mozzarella cheese is punched right in the middle of your fish fillet meat. This is a chef recommended dish at Fish n Co but we personally do not recommend unless you are really dying to have cheese.

Hugo Wolf on the other hand ordered the standard fish n chips. The signature dish at Fish and Co which they self proclaimed it The Best Fish n Chips in Town.

The signature fish n chips at Fish and Co comes with a deep fried dory fish fillet, french fries, a slice of lemon and most importantly of all - the tartar sauce! There are some condiments missing this time at Fish and Co..no more diced garlic and chilli sauce.

Not sure why these two condiments were omitted from Fish and Co, but the diced garlic was a pretty nice addition, it goes really well with the fish n chips and french fries. 

Good thing the tartar sauce is still available and they did not attempt to charge extra for the copious amount of tartar sauce Hugo requested.

Tartar sauce has some lemon in it, so it does a really good job of neutralizing the deep fried fish n chips and french fries that goes charging relentlessly through your throat.

Jolly Rosa had just noticed the cute rubber coaster in fish and co which they use to put our drinks on.

The Glass House is the flagship Fish and Co outlet in Singapore and it is rumored that they serve the best Fish and Co Fish n Chips in town. Not entirely true on the most tasty Fish n Chips part but we enjoy eating dinner in this beautiful entourage.

Best time to go is in the evening where you get to see the view of the glass house in the diminishing daylight and the night view after you finish eating the fish n chips and the lights turn on.

NICI in Taipei 2011 (Taiwan)

NICI wolf spotted at Changi T1! It's NICI-Mania's Hugo Wolf at Singapore Changi airport checking in for his flight to the beautiful Taipei city!

It's 5:30am in the morning, after checking in, our NICI wolf went to shop around and found a Harrods outlet! Look at the size of the Harrods Bear!

NICI plush vs Harrods Bear

 We haven't had our breakfast yet, so we stopped by Burger King and Hugo Wolf waited like a boss while his human queued for the food.

The Jetstar airplane that is gonna take NICI-Mania to Taipei

Getting ready for takeoff, Hugo Wolf, please fasten your seatbelt

Hugo Wolf looks outside the window..

and off we go! NICI-Mania is en-route to Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan and one of the most wonderful city to visit in the world.

After a 4 hour flight, we arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan International airport. What a sunny afternoon!

Go to one of the counters to get a bus ticket that cost NT125, it will bring you to the center of Taipei city in 45 minutes time.

The airport shuttle bus stops us right in front of Taipei train station. 
Hugo Wolf: Hello Taiwan!!!!!!

Taipei train station building.

It's already approaching the end of Autumn here in Taiwan and we really wasn't expecting the weather to be so HOT! NICI-mania plushies almost fainted in the heat.

The first thing you'll notice about Taipei is, the whole street is flooded with 7-Eleven. You can even stand in a street and see two 7-Eleven right opposite one another.

Lots of food to eat in 7-Eleven!

Large sausages and herbal tea egg

 Look who's here at Taiwan! Little Rocker Wolf joins Hugo Wolf for this Taiwan trip. Let's grab a beer in this warm Autumn while we check in to our hotel near the Taipei main MRT station.

After dropping our bags, our hungry plushies went straight for food and right across the street from our hotel is this dumpling bun stall - 老蔡水煎包

There are lots of condiments from chilli sauce to dark soy sauce to vinegar for you to add to your dumpling bun.

There are 3 types of dumpling bun for you to choose from, the meat bun is the most tasty of them at 老蔡水煎包. Just look at the juice overflowing out from the bun!!

After finishing the lovely dumpling bun, NICI-Mania sets out to Tamsui district of Taipei. We will be taking the MRT from Taipei Main Station. This is just like the City Hall interchange of Singapore, right in the center of Taipei city where you can go to any direction.

Cute train souvenirs at Taipei Main Station.

Hugo Wolf passed by MacDonalds in Taipei! No time for that though, we need to rush to Tamsui.

But Hugo Wolf spotted a very cute panda in front of MacDonalds riding on a bicycle!

If you have an EasyCard, you can go anywhere in Taiwan, from MRT to buses to even trains. Hugo Wolf taps his EasyCard and off we go to Tamsui.

See you in the next entry for Tamsui, Taipei.

Yes we are going to visit the NICI shop in Taiwan, so stay tuned for the pictures!
