Tengawa Hokkaido White Curry | Food Review

Two weeks ago, I was invited by J Passport for a food tasting at TENGAWA HOKKAIDO WHITE CURRY. Tengawa, is the the first an the only restaurant in Singapore that serve white curry dishes. Don’t take my word for it, just do a quick search on google, and all you would see it Tengawa popping up top on the list and a few pages afterwards. I had the honor to try two of their finest dishes.

According to the waitress at Tengawa, white curry as interesting as it sounds, is originated from Hokkaido, made from Hokkaido’s milk, it give a creamier base to the curry.

Perfect Concept for Skin (Brought to you by Taiwan )

Hey guys, is Taiwan one of your favourite countries to visit? Sample Store is bringing Taiwan to us now. They are having a number of the Best of Taiwan products that specially selected for us. One of the products that I am going to introduce is Perfect Concept Advanced Anti Aging Repair Essence where you guys can also redeem this product which will be covered on my blog.

When I received the product, the first thing that impressed me is packing. It looks elegant. The name of this product might be misleading for you, "Anti Aging" (Oh, this is just an anti-aging product) but actually, it contains other active ingredients for skin nourishing and whitening as per what we can see in the packing. I would recommend you guys always read the product description to understand more about the product when you are looking through any products.

LAURIER Ultra Gentle Sanitary Napkin

In general, looking for good quality of sanitary is necessary for most of the girls. Imagine when you are having heavy flow and you are busy with your activities, how uncomfortable it is and at the same time you are worried that it is overflow. The worst part is THE RED COLOUR SPOT stained on your pants or dress. Ouch! It gotta be so embarrassing and disgusting when it is stained on your clothes and you will be struggling to find things to cover for it.

When I am having menses, I will always try my best to protect myself from overflow be it in day time or night time. Sometimes it is out of control if the menses suddenly come beyond your unexpected time and I hate washing it.

BIODERMA REVIEW : Moisturising anti UV Mist ( Eau de soin SPF 30 PA)

Today i am going to introduce new product from Bioderma Singapore.
As we live in tropical country, sunscreen is the essential layer that we need to use on our daily life.
The harmful UV rays not only will cause damage to our skin but also lead to cancer.

What i like the most about  Eau de soin SPF 30 PA is the 2 in 1 functions of this product! Suncare and Hydration. The anti - UV Mist as a UV Protection and Moisturising mist as a Hydration. Bioderma revolutionizes water with the creation of a 2-in-1 hydrating mist. It is the first product which combines sunscreen and anti-oxidant complex into a deeply hydrating water-based formula. It is the only mist in the derma-cosmetics category that works to prevent skin ageing on-the-go.

Traveloka : Park Royal Kuala Lumpur

So my significant half told me that we need a short getaway from our hectic life away from work
just for a few days. To recharge and temporarily drop all of our concern and pamper ourselves a little. Usually we’ll do the planning as a couple but this time round, I told him to leave all the planning to me as I wanted to give him a little surprise. But, as soon as I finished my sentence, I got a little panic. Suddenly realised the hassle that I have to go through - finding a nice place to go, a decent hotel, and an affordable flight there. Then, I hoped this pleasant surprise.

If only there is a good, reliable website that do most part of the finding for me. Particularly, one that rate hotels precisely and transparently. So that, I don’t have to take any risk when I deciding on a place to stay. Just as I was thinking of many travel websites around, Traveloka comes to my mind.

One thing that Traveloka stands out from there other booking app was the security of the transaction. With various banks as their official payment partners, such as CitiBank, DBS Bank, OCBC Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and UOB bank, as well as Visa, MasterCard, SAM and e-NETS enabled, there is no hassle in making payment while booking for flight and hotel.

Another benefit I found with Traveloka was the number of hotels that was returned from the search I did. As compared to the other websites, Traveloka provides a more extensive search results. Although to some, too many results might make choosing the best one very difficult, but this well thought-out websites provide an easy-to-reference user ratings at a glance. Not only from their proprietary rating system but also from TripAdvisor so that I can make a better decision when picking an ideal hotel.

Also, I found that the general information of the hotel listing from the search result was easy to glance. Not overly cluttered with unnecessary information like number of people booking the hotel
or that particular hotel was booked how many times before. Which is what I love. Sometimes I wonder if it was just a marketing scheme to draw us into booking the hotel. At least Traveloka did away with such nonsense. Instead, Traveloka included saving that we would get out from the particular hotel, which makes more sense to us, saving conscious beings.

With Traveloka, I found a incredible Hotel for our trip to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (KL).
Park Royal Kuala Lumpur Hotel is located in the heart of KL. It’s just across the road to the famous Sungei Wang Plaza for our shopping spree. Walk further down to Berjaya Times Square where there is a indoor Theme Park. Lots of food options available too. And if you think all these shopping malls and food places are not enough for you, the monorail station is also within walking distance.
But for us, just staying over the weekends, I don’t think I can find any hotel that is
so well located as Park Royal Kuala Lumpur.

Apart of the ideal location, Park Royal Kuala Lumpur is also equipped with facilities for us to enjoy some couple time we can get after a tiring day of walking. It was nice having a spa session at St. Gregory. We did the bath treatments, he had the Ginger and Herbal Bath which is suppose to detoxify the body and improve blood circulation. Perfectly for him as it is ideal for tired and aching muscles too (I made him carry all my shopping loots :P). and I had the Milk Bath - which nourishes my skin and soak my stress away. My skin become so smooth and bouncy after the Milk bath!

All in all, thanks to Traveloka for our hotel booking. I had made my man really happy with our weekend mini holiday

HOKKAIDO RAMEN SANTOUKA | New Ramen Menu

I was honored to be invited by J Passport for a food tasting for SANTOUKA's two new items that will launch on the 18th of September. Along with Santouka’s anniversary, a whopping discount of 50% for Toroniku Ramen will also be available from 18th September 2017 to 21st September 2017.

Be sure to head down to SANTOUKA and enjoy their Signature Ramen and their latest creations! Remember to bring along some friends! Good food is meant to be shared.

In case you are the 3 out of 10 that still don’t know about this amazing ramen house in Singapore, Santouka is a Japanese Ramen restaurant famously known for its Hokkaido-style ramen and pork cheek. Based in 8 other countries, nine if we including Singapore, there are over 50 Santouka restaurants all around the world. To ensure each and every ramen to taste the same with any Santouka restaurant we go, their recipes are made with precise consistency. In Singapore alone, you can visit any one of their 2 restaurants (Orchard Cuppage Terrace and Central Mall)

I was very excited to be one of a few that had a chance to taste their two latest creations way before its’ launch. In fact, I had 3 bowls of different ramens that day including their Signature Ramen, the Iberico Tokusen Toroniku Shio Ramen!

Special Iberico Tokusen Toroniku Ramen

Although the authentic flavour of this Exclusive Ramen is Shio Ramen, however, it is also served with other 3 flavours which not limited to Miso, Shoyu, and Kara-Miso.

This Shio Ramen flavour comes with a rich, creamy, and aromatic tonkatsu broth which is so rich in flavour that I had spoon after spoon of the soup - almost forgetting the ramen noodle. Shio Ramen comes standard with everything you will find in Japanese ramen.

Shio Ramen is the signature, a tradition and it will never go wrong if you are looking for a warm, texture-rich bowl of goodness. Whenever we think of Santouka, we think Shio Ramen! Or otherwise? Will these two new items on the menu take over the limelight?

Santouka Tantan Men

Soon after, another bowl of ramen was served. The second ramen was the Santouka Tantan Men.
As soon as it was presented on our table, the aromatic smell of sesame flow through our senses. The presentation was a mixture of Chili oil and minced pork. We took no time to mix it up and take a quick sip of the broth.

Tantan Men ramen is another world of its own! This mildly spiced sesame broth mixed with all kinds of flavours stands out like ramen I've never tried before. However, this thick texture does make me feel a little sick of it after we've done half of it. Or probably, we are just in anticipation of the last item we've got to try, The Roast Beef Ae-soba!

Roast Beef Ae - Soba

Last and most certainly not the least. In fact, it was my favourite of all three I had tried that day.
The Roast Beef Ae-soba came very well presented, almost like a vegetable salad (salad was by chance one of my favourite food), and slices of pinkish middle rare premium beef lying above the greens. The waiter brought along a premixed sauce dressing, poured them in, and proudly informed us of the ingredients that created the dressing.



Although I'm not a fan of cold soba, this roast beef Ae-soba is something different. Firstly, the beef is perfectly done. Crisps on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. Second is the soba, along with the specially made sauce and Japanese sesame salad dressing, it is sweet and tasty. The best way of eating this is by putting both the soba and beef all together into the mouth. This way the flavour of the soba and beef together will trigger every sense, in every mouth of it!

Out of three contenders, this Roast Beef Ae-soba stands as the top ramen that I proudly recommend. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and be the first to try them this coming 18th of September. There will probably be a queue so be there early!

MEDIA INVITE : Party Popper Singapore

Last Saturday was supposed to be a weary day for me. I was tired and having jet-lag after a long haul flight back to Singapore. I decided to attend the event held by Party Popper Singapore to let my self more awake and not feel so draggy. It was a Media Launch of their party poppers that will be going on sale.



I felt better over here with fun and exciting activities. I have got to mess around with a huge variety of poppers range from tiny little ones to massive gigantic ones. And what excited me more was the vibrance of lion dance performance!

DBS INNOVATES : The Joyful of QR Code Cashless Payment

Digital payment has been going around us. It is easier and hassle-free to use electronic payment than using cash and save the hassle of carrying heavy coins in our wallet especially when you are going to those shops that only accept cash.

When I read about DBS Innovates, I was a little surprised that even Hawker Centre has implemented cashless payment now. With the advancement of financial technology such as
cashless payment, it brought us closer together to everything.

So far I always need to use cash to pay for the food and drinks at the Hawker Centre. And I only came across a few stores accepting electronic payment via Nets FlashPay. I prefer to visit their stall more because of the ease of payment and I don't need to headache to find ATM to withdraw money when I don't have enough cash.

DBS has come out with an app called PayLah!
It has brought the technology and traditional means of payment together.
As a customer, all we need is our phone. With DBS mobile wallet installed, use the app to scan
the QR code displaying at the merchant counter, input the amount and pay! Immediately the money will be transferred.
As a merchant, then they will receive a payment notification immediately.

One of the owners at Maxwell Hawker Centre found out about this initiative and have always
wanted to reduce the inconvenience of looking for small change to customers, has opted
for cashless payment as an alternative way to receive money.

Sharing article of Making Banking Simpler, Faster, Smart, and DBS News to read more about PayLah App.

The Paylah! QR code payment has low barriers to entry. Both consumers and merchants
only need a Singapore bank account to send or receive funds and at no cost.

We can also use it to collect or make payments to our friends with the QR code!.
Furthermore, PayLah! users can transfer money to others who do not have the PayLah! App
via their mobile number or NRIC/FIN, as long as they are customers of 7 participating banks

According to DBS, paying for taxi fare for ComfortDelGro will be available in the third quarter of this year.
