while our great nation and a certain neighbouring country are warring about whose “local” food is more worthy of its heritage…

we’re just here in our little korner…

…defiling ‘authenticity’ as much as we can, while we still can

this week’s specials, inspired by the Orient (or a certain palace drama?! who knows!) includes bastardised versions of San Bei Ji, Bak Kut Teh and ‘Chow Mien’

from today ’til Sun 9 SEP, or while fresh ingredients last.
available dine-in and online and on Deliveroo

here’s the full menu, including hot tea recommendations. while the green tea is for creatures of comfort, we’re bringing in Lapsang Souchong for a limited period only. it’s a must-try if you’re into rich, smokey teas. learn all about it here

so yeah, it’s been a minute hey?

this past year we’ve only managed the odd festive special like christmas, CNY, valentine’s etc. but the last legit “weekly special” was probably Oct 2016. IKRwtf?! call polis!

anyhoo, we’ve decided to get back on the TGS Weekly Specials grind again. spurred on by Deliveroo’s “Round the World Delicacies”. and no, this is not a sponsored post for them lah haiyoh. it’s more like a ‘how to whip a Slug into action’ confession.

the thought process was, since we’re already creating these specials for Deliveroo, might as well make them available in-house, too, amirite. especially for all y’alls who might not be within our Deliveroo delivery radius.

so kicking off this week 20-26 AUG, we bring you some TGS Japanese & Korean-inspired Lunch & Dinner Sets. they are available in-house on our Specials menu, for takeout, island-wide delivery (yes, we got ownself liliver now), and on Deliveroo.

so now you know a little bit about what propels a Slug to action. what might spur you, dear reader?

as any red-and-white-blooded (hurhur see what we did tharrr?) singaporean might say, “gOt diSkAuN aNot Har?” … have lah, have lah. we’ve got one for you on every platform lah. dun say bojio lah ~

that’s all folks! until next week!! maybe? who knows?? if we decide?? to keep up with these Weekly Specials??? ☺☻☺☻☺ bcoz sometimes Life just gets in the way, yaknowhatimean. either way, thank you for coming to our TED talk.

^# not stackable with other discounts and promos

It all started with an insta-story poll on whether you’d forgive us for creating a casserole and calling it “Casser-Olé”. 67% voted for CASSER-OLÉ and the remaining 33% (mainly comprising personal frenemies) voted “Casser-No-Leh -_-”

Welp, we’d still call it a win-win situation! WE have permission to continue being our ridiculous selves and YOU get to enjoy a beef & mushroom stroganoff casser-olé in the comfort of your own home.

“Comfort of your own home”, you say? Yesh, the Olé Olé Casser-olé and seven other football-themed specials are available for delivery & takeout only. HOW-EVERRRR, you can also order it in-house if you ask nicely lah, hehe. Let’s call it a “hidden menu” of sorts, just between you and us ok ^_^

We’ve purposefully made our World Cup Specials (gastro platters and combos) such that they can be easily stored and re-heated for those late-night munchies. They are available all day (operating hours) from today throughout the football season. Daily last order is 9.30pm ok!

We like to call this “non-visual food” i.e. sans bones and fiddly bits. Just shove it into your mouth while your eyes are glued to tonight’s game ⚽

We’ve also made sure delivery is available island-wide! Be sure to check in EVERY DAY to see what discounts are waiting for you (up to 15%-45% daily discounts until 31-JUL-2018!)

☔ P/S: Worried about the rain? Don’t worry, we deliver ⛈ rain or ☀ shine!
P/P/S: Worried about riders in the rain? Don’t worry, on rainy days we deliver by car, bcoz #safetyfirst y’all

Reid (M) 8 months, mixed breed. Vaccination completed, is micro-chipped, sterilisation pending. Reid’s hazel eyes are full of sweetness, love and longing for a family of his own. He is grass and pee-pad trained, knows some basic commands (like ‘sit’ and ‘paw-shake’) and is food-motivated (just like us!!).

Benzo (M) 1 year 5 months, mixed breed. Vaccinated, sterilised and micro-chipped. Benzo is also grass and pee-pad trained, knows basic commands, and is food-motivated. He LOVES long walks, and will make a wonderful family member as he’s comfortable and gentle with children

While most people think an attractive person makes their hearts beat faster, the opposite is also true — people whose hearts are beating faster might be more likely to find you attractive.

What does this mean? Time to make like Katy Perry and get your heart racin’, in my skin-tight jeans.

Be BAE (Basic And Exciting)

• ☒ steer clear of sunset watching, a trip to the spa, and long walks by the beach. Because srsly is damn Zzzz pls…
• ☑ consider instead: an exciting movie (Black Panther, anyone?), theme parks, bicycle rides
• ☺ a surprise dinner at a dubious location. HOW SUSPENSEFUL! HOW THRILLING!

Tongue-tied?

• ☑ think of lines that get the other person to talk about themselves in a creative, fun, and unusual way
• ☑ mimic (within reason.. dun be annoying ok) the way they sit, how they use their hands, their speech patterns, their facial expressions
• ♂ for men: if you are good-looking and successful, downplay your successes. Why? You don’t want to look too perfect, coz you’d end up being categorised as “too good to be true”

Dare To Bare the largest and most attractive part of yourself: your soul

★ Our regular in-house menu is available throughout V Day. i mean, if you’re dining with your true love, you should also be able to have the dishes u truly love amirite? ^_^

Come join us at The Garden Slug (Feb 4th at 2:00PM) for this two-hour green workshop.

Did you know the humble moss has been around for 350 million years?? You could call it The Pioneer Plant™ as mosses were the first plants to emerge from the ocean and conquer land!
Instead of buying a kumquat tree this year — come join us and learn how to use this ancient plant to make YOUR OWN terrarium this weekend.

Homemakers, students, cubicle rats, startup founders… all are welcome!

No green fingers? No worries! It’s actually really easy to learn and construct a terrarium of your own. Once you have the know-how, you can add in little memorabilia from your own home, or even find special items online to make this terrarium uniquely yours.

All you have to do is learn the basics of building a terrarium or ‘mossarium’ using the planet’s oldest yet most underrated plant; MOSS. By the end of the workshop you will discover you have green thumbs after all! You will be under the care of the best instructor this side of the hemisphere – Charles of MOSSINGARDEN.

You will also learn how to avoid rookie mistakes like this: (i.e. learn how to NOT kill one of the most drought-resistant plants on the planet!!)

It was an uplifting workshop! It helped me better my relationships at work. —J. Wang, retail manager

I love being able to create my own mini civilisation. —YX, marketing exec

 

You also get to bring home your very first mini ecosystem creation. If you love games like SimCity, Civilization and They Are Billions — this is like stage 1 except IRL in 4D! You will be bringing home not just a piece of nature but also a slice of history.

Having a personal terrarium in your home or workspace will

☘ start your day right

☘ give you something to talk to if you don’t have pets

☘ help appreciate the role of moss in regulating nature’s ecosystems

☘ remind ourselves of our role in the social ecosystem (maybe???)

Benefits of adopting a dog:
· unconditional love
· having someone who is truly madly deeply happy to see you every day
· dog kisses
· dog hugs
· improved fitness from daily walks and/or runs
· improved social life from making new friends with other doggies & dog owners
· did we mention unconditional love?

We will have a handful of dogs for you to meet, and each one of them is about 3-4 years old.

These are all abandoned and rescued dogs currently being fostered by volunteers at Joyous bArk.
