<br />
I finally decided to go with <span style="color: red;">Tune Hotel</span> for my Legoland & Hello Kitty Town trip after much self-debating with myself. I love to compare several hotels and contradict myself before settling down.<br />
<b><i><span style="color: purple;"><br /></span></i></b>
<b><i><span style="color: purple;">Rationale behind my decisions:</span></i></b><br />
<b>1. Shuttle bus to and fro Legoland & Hello Kitty Town</b><br />
FYI, taxi that brings you there normally rips you off, because they don't usually get customers after dropping you off (empty trip back). Likewise, taxis that waits at the parks are <b><span style="color: blue;">BLUE,</span></b> which costs 2x more than the regular cabs.<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">Tip: Always board the regular cabs and it's okay to skip the blue premium cabs even if their cabs are right at the start of waiting queue. However, do board the next available regular cab that's behind the blue one.</span><br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>2. Value-for-money </b><br />
Advance purchasing via <span style="color: red;">Tune Hotel</span> online portal, for my case, the room costs only <span style="font-size: x-small;">MYR</span>110.<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">Tip: Plan and book the room months ahead of travel dates will gets you better hotel rates. & check their FB page for updates of promotions.</span><br />
<br />
<b>3. Good Reviews</b><br />
I was scanning through TripAdvisor and read countless good reviews from their staycation. It was highly raved by many and they provided interesting good tips during the stay. I liked their prompt response over the Internet and whenever I have inquiries it was solved within probably 24 hours?<br />
<br />
This pretty much summarize why did I chose <span style="color: red;">Tune Hotel</span>, and here comes <b><i>my Experiences with Tune Hotel Danga Bay.</i></b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hbIN0TWV2Dk/UuZ220ZHLUI/AAAAAAAAGlw/5Pstq7B8dPc/s1600/JB-building.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></div>
<br />
I reached <span style="color: red;">Tune Hotel</span>, left my luggage with the counters <span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>(MYR2 per bag a day)</b></span> as it's way beyond the check in time. And I find it irresistible to take picture of this cute Lego dinosaur near the counter. It's making me so excited about my Legoland Trip.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-seyHNjn-KqQ/UuRWdOSNvmI/AAAAAAAAGkc/GJD6k5oXMg4/s1600/2013-07-04+09.24.21.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I reached hotel before 9am, just so I won't miss their shuttle bus that leaves at 930am & 10am. If you late, then too bad, you gotta request counter to help you call a cab up which doesn't come cheap. I purchased my tickets via<span style="color: red;"> Tune Hotel</span> because they bundled the regular priced ticket<span style="font-size: x-small;">(MYR110)</span> with free shuttle bus that would usually cost <span style="font-size: x-small;">MYR</span>15 for the ride alone.<br />
On a side note, I would recommend you guys to purchase the <b>ONE</b> park tickets at Hello Kitty Town. I went to <b>ONLY</b> the Hello Kitty Land even though I have <b>TWO</b> parks tickets because the rest was too lame for my age.<br />
<span style="color: red;">One park ticket - <span style="font-size: x-small;">MYR </span>75</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">Two park ticket - <span style="font-size: x-small;">MYR </span>110</span><br />
I literally wasted my money because The Little Big Club are for kids.<br />

<br />
Another thing, I was stupidly waiting for the shuttle bus at the hotel lobby, not knowing I have to <strike>cashout</strike> exchange the vouchers into <b>Shuttle Transfer Coupon</b> at their agency right outside the place. Make sure yours is something like this before they will let you board the shuttle <strike>bus</strike> van.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A5SaaMS7BF4/UuRV7lDCzMI/AAAAAAAAGkU/pDhWcA7Vlvk/s1600/2013-07-04+09.33.39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-A5SaaMS7BF4/UuRV7lDCzMI/AAAAAAAAGkU/pDhWcA7Vlvk/s1600/2013-07-04+09.33.39.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">Tips: Be early, because the van has limited seats, and if you can't board the first one, you have to wait for the next available van.</span><br />
<br />
Shuttle van comes to pick us up from Legoland either at 530 or 6pm, so we definitely choose the latter to enjoy ourselves more.<br />
<br />
Reach back hotel to check in around 630pm. Check-in procedure was quick, and that's when I realize i gotten twin bed instead of double ): Requested to change room but they didn't allow, sigh.<br />

Oh, and you get to choose package along your stay. For me I chose cozy package because I wanted the WiFi and TV during the night time & it's a very bad idea. Frankly speaking, you don't need any package at all during your stay.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>1. Towel/ Rental</b> - Bring your own since it's not free<br />
<b>2. Air Conditioning</b> - 24 hours credit, but who need air con when you got a big ass fan hovering at the top.<br />
3<b>. WiFi</b> - Lousy reception, get a Malaysia SIM card instead<br />
<b>4. TV</b> - 24 hours credit, <i><b>BUT it gets charged</b></i> <b><i>even when the TV is off</i></b>. It's totally lame because I only watch a couple of hours TV on the first night and that's it.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent;">The room is clean but a little small, but can't complaint for the price I am paying. You can't expect to stay in a palace when paying peanuts right. Allocated at the second floor, which I am fine with it although I saw online reviews about noises from the lobby.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;">It's definitely value for money for my stay. I know there's Legoland Hotel too, but it's relatively expensive, like 5-6 times the price I paid for ):</span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent;">Overall, I think it's quite a good hotel except the location really sucks. Even taxi drivers was wondering why did I stay there when I don't drive. It's far from shopping malls I wanted to go like Aeon & Jusco so my cab to and fro the places are roughly</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: x-small;"> MYR</span><span style="background-color: transparent;"> 20-25. It would be good if you've got a car during the stay. Oh they have security guard to look after your car.</span></div>

<span style="color: magenta;"><b>Biore</b></span> has revamped their Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheet a.k.a makeup remover wipes. I have been a fan of <span style="color: magenta;"><b>Biore's </b></span>makeup remover wipes since I learnt to doll up myself. I am so lazy that I hope my makeup will remove by itself after I get home. And I can't find anything easier than a swipe of the wipe to get my face clean. It's is proven mild for my skin (sensitive) and completely lazy-proof for people like me.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The newer package looks prettier in the exterior design as compared to the old one. The designer must really know how to capture ladies' hearts, as the sides are coated with laces and pink designs ~ </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For the interior, the new packaging has solve the issue which I had faced - difficulty in refilling as it's difficult to open the box from the bottom. I was so glad that we can easily open the lid to use and to refill the wipes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And also a significant changes made will be the opening of the wipes. It used to be smaller and requires more tug and pull to get the wipes out but it's a breeze now.</div>

That's like me with light make up on the left, whereas on the right is having half of my face cleansed in<span style="color: red;"> ONE </span>swipe. I'm really sorry about my eyebrow, I had some stitches after a fall and I didn't dare to do threading yet so it's bushy and messy ):</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I managed to cleanse like 80% of my make up (half face) with just one swipe! The remaining are eyeliners smudge that aren't properly wiped away which proves that the wipe is really effective in removing make up. I didn't even need to wipe it repeatedly, just a couple of time and there you have a clean and bare face. Furthermore, my skin feel 'toing-toing' right after cleansing as thought as I just washed my face and it's yet not too oily that my face cannot accept it. Best of all is, you will only need one wipe to cleanse the whole face, talk about saving money & time using it.</div>

I'm sure you guys remembered about me and my rant about going all healthy and stuffs, so I did it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I attended <span style="color: orange;">California Fitness </span>FIT Start Program and had more knowledge about doing the right workout to drill our body the way we want it to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">FIT Start Program</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FIT Start training with one of the fitness professionals, is one of the most effective ways of getting started on the right track towards achieving fitness goals. Many people are often lost in their way of exercising, however it may be in the wrong direction. Now with fitness pro to guide you along the way, you can easily achieve what you wanted. The FIT Start Program includes introduction of Xpress Zone circuit of resistance training equipment, providing a basis upon which to build a personalized fitness program.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">My Very First Trip to California Fitness @ Takashimaya</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clicked on Level 8 & surprised to see that almost half of the passengers are heading there too. It's my first visit and I only been to a few other gyms but none as large and fully equipped like <span style="color: orange;">California Fitness</span> @ Taka. Upon entering, I was asked to leave my bags in lockers (do rmb to bring your own lock for safe keeping) before heading back to the main lobby area to measure my Body Composition by my fitness instructor or simply FI because I forgotten his name after doing so tiresome workout.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Body Composition</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Weight: 65kg</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Muscle Mass: 24.1kg</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Body Fat Mass: 20.9kg</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">+1.5kg Muscle </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">-7.3kg Fat</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">-</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Fitness Score 71</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall, my report isn't bad but I still need to lose 7kg of my fats ): After gotten our body report, FI analyzed and break down the individual issue with us and asked about our goals before we get started on the real deal. So mine is definitely to lose all these fats before attaining some sexy abs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were brought to the training area shortly, different group of people are doing different type of training exercise and for mine, we are doing TRX.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
TRX involves using heavy-duty nylon webbing attached to wall brackets. Its main purpose is to utilize our body weight to build strength, balance, flexibility and core stability.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did like 5 sets of exercise with only one rep each to test out, however the real training won't be so 'chicken-feet' I think I look quite weak in those photo, probably because I'm a noobie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay here goes nothing, at least to prove that I'm working towards my goal as I'm doing it.</div>

It may look easy but as it goes, we were so tired that we stop talking or laughing like we did at the start. I guess we just need more practices, and after the whole experience, I learned that my main weakness is arms and need more training. </div>

Through FIT Start Program, I understand that it's a way where instructor guides and brings you on the right track. They analyze your body composition and plans the best training routine for you and increasingly making it tougher so your body will not get used to it, so as to prevent stagnant in your training. It's a good way for people who needs motivation and guidance because you have everything here and I believe it's even harder to cheat or quit when there's a professional helping you. So, never give up in your goals when having trouble, seek help, Seek <a href="http://www.californiafitness.com/sg/en/personal-training/overview.html" target="_blank">California Fitness</a></div>

For people who liked my ombre purple hair that was previously dyed, finally I have time to share with you guys where I have done it.<br />

Located along East Coast Road and I got slightly lost in the process because I wasn't familiar with the East side. Look out for the signage around the area which will direct you to TIDES where Heritage Hair is located at. They are a Redken & <span style="background-color: white;">L'Oréal authorised salon</span> offering complete range of hair services, treatments, styling and home care products for customers to choose from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was greeted by three stylists, including their boss upon entering. It was cosy and I left my stylist, Kenn to decide on what he wanted to do with my hair. He suggested ombre purple since my nails etc are all purple (seems legit)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Thanks to the 幕后黑手 aka the man behind the scene, my stylist - Kenn.<br />

I find him gentle and patient in 'preparing' my hair just by seeing the way he works. He comb my hair with little strength even when it's tangled and he combed them nice and gently. It's a good experience with Kenn & Heritage Hair Salon especially after getting the hair in my favorite color.<br />
I am more grateful than anything for getting my hair set and ready just before my cousin's wedding which is the next day.<br />
<br />
Sharing some <strike>selfies</strike> photos taken during the wedding day.<br />

At first I thought I was getting the same old purple color again because I previously dyed purple until I realized it was actually in gradients, so with each flicks of hair you can see shimmering purple of different shades.<br />

It's been close to two months after my hair was done and it faded to a pink shade but still looking beautiful. The previous hair colours I used always fade to blonde. I totally love my hair colour all thanks to Heritage Hair~<br />

In Japanese, Fuku means Happiness while ya refers to House, and when directly translated <span style="color: magenta;">Fukuya</span> simply means Happiness House. This happiness house silently reside in Jurong Country Club. I would never had expected good food to be inside a Country Club since I stereotyped it as where the rich golfers will go until I personally tried the food there myself. It's like a hidden gems waiting to be discovered by food lovers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Fukuya </span>offers a wide variety of options for those craving authentic Japanese cuisine in utterly perfect presentation. The dishes served are photo-worthy as it's often decorated with flowers or edible garnishes on exquisite dining wares. Jap-food lover you just had to add this one in your 'to-eat-list'. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's best to start off with Zensai, another term for Appetizer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Seafood Mayo on Fresh Salad - $10.80</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mixture of two types of seaweed, the green and brown one which I hardly see it in the market (probably just me), topped with my favourite seafood mayo~ The seaweed is really salty but crunchy if you tried eating it separately. However, once combined with the seafood mayo, you won't really feel that it's overpowering, instead it brings out an unique taste to the dish.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Dobin Mushi - $10.80 </span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had never tried something like this before, and it's quite a cool concept of having your soup served. It's sweet and refreshing. Ingredients looks simple, mainly consisted of mushrooms and oysters, but brought out the best of out it. Two ways to savour this, by adding the lime or skipping it. I tried both methods and preferred having my soup without lime.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;">Sashimi - $68.80</span><br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not a fan of raw food, and my favourite food in a sushi bar is all the cooked food like crab-sticks, unagi and stuffs, but decided to give it a chance and I'm glad I did. All their sashimi are super fresh as it's all imported from Japan. It brings out the true definition of 'fresh saltwater' because you literally can taste it. It's worth every cent in your pocket, and everyone is all like I am going to come back to get this after they get their bonus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue;">Yakimono - $20.80</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Gintara Mentaiyaki (All time favourite)</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's the store's all time favourite, and no doubt mine as well. Grilled fish with mentaiyaki on banana leaf. Their mentaiyaki is thick and creamy and the banana leaf underneath gave it a little burnt feeling which enhance the taste and smell even better like how food being cooked under charcoal flames.<br />
Absolutely a must-try vote from me.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone there was trying to convince me it wasn't spicy and stuffs, and I did finish all the sushi that are sadly all coated with wasabi except the unkun uni(sea urchin) one, by gulping water. I have to say that they are using authentic wasabi as it's not spicy and does not sting the eyes, it's just that the smell of wasabi that I disliked about. Nevertheless, the dish is much raved about and each sushi has its individual sauce and there is no need for soy sauce. I guess it's bad luck I couldn't enjoy this pretty much.</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This bowl of awesomeness is called small, and I think it takes two to finished it. Now I cannot imagine how many could their 'big' portion feeds. Do not be fooled by the colour of the ramen, it's not spicy at all, and surprisingly it's sweet. Vegetables, seafood are all tossed inside to create this sweet yet rich flavouring pumpkin-taste-alike soup. As you can see, the ingredients are super fresh and generously spread around the chewy noodles.<br />

<span style="color: blue;">Kyoho Ice Cream with Kuri Kanronni - $8.80</span><br />

</tbody></table>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As usual, something I have been waiting for since the start because I am a sucker for desserts and I love KYOHO GRAPES. The sweetness is just right for me and it is as smooth as Gelato, while the chestnut adds texture to the smooth ice-cream. It's a unique combination as I have never expected chestnuts to go well with grapes but it did.<br />
<br />
Look at how happy everyone is after the dining experience at Fukuya. For me, food is not necessary the most important key attributes to define a good restaurant, instead the service is. Their Chef Ah Beng is really humorous and friendly around us, get to know him well and he will provide you with special dishes that are not listed in the menu. Chef Ah Beng enjoys having close relationships with his customers.<br />
<br />
I had a great yet different kind of experience there, and I believe you guys should try it too. It's always more difficult to find places with good food and good services. If you happened to be hanging around Singapore Science Centre or Jurong Country Club drop by and enjoy a feast of authentic Jap food.<br />

It feels like I'm overdose on cream than c</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 24px;">rêpe, which apparently preferred the latter.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The cake turns out to be Black & White like its name has suggested. It's a combination of vanilla and dark chocolate sponge cakes coated with dark chocolate. The sponge isn't as soft as the Strawberry Shortcake and the cake turns to be too heavy as you savor it.</span></div>

It was lucky that I head down during non-peak period and there's not much people around. I was able to dine in and get my burger fairly quick.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, it's really a risky idea to be dining in, as you know the birds tends to be overcrowding the entire Somerset - Orchard areas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You never know if you gotten something extra in the bun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even if there isn't birds around, the place is still infested with houseflies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had such a bad time eating there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay and that's for the atmosphere, it can be solved by taking away the food.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's hard for cheese fries to go wrong, simply because it's cheeeeeese.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like thick fries but I would suggest them being more generous with the sauce.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see it's quite messy to eat with the sauce leaking all over the place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's soft like braised pork mantou and I like that the bun has light curry smell.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly, the cheese taste diluted and so much for calling it golden cheese.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, after I removed tomato & lettuce (I don't eat them) and it looked like this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seriously? the meat is barely half of my bun, utterly disappointed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They should at least do QC on the size of the meat before serving to customers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I must say the sauce and bun are quite good for mine, it's just that the chicken is too small ):</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bear Bites is a store with ultimate potential if they know how to handle it well. The concept is great but need more improvement on the quality and price-wise. In my opinion, it's still a store you must at least visit once in your life.</div>

I am going for an all purple trend, been a little obsessed in purple recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's absolutely time to paint up my plain, ugly long nails which hasn't been done since May? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lazy is my middle name and I always hated to do-it-myself so I always find someone else to do the job. Furthermore, cousin's wedding is this week and I really need to get myself all pretty :3 for his wedding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Absolutely Nails, located at Marine Parade Central. It's situated opposite the market outside of Parkway, for non-east-siders might be a little difficult to find but I have been to the market a couple of time so I found it in no-time. I'm a road idiot fyi so if I can find it, so can you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's along the stretch of shops at Blk 82. You will see their shop instantly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First impression of the shop is I find it a little small but nevertheless cozy. It gives me the feeling like I entered a home based salon. It's definitely better and neater than the home based salon for sure. Additionally, they have T.V to keep customers occupied. I was busy watching the 7pm show while having them do my nails.<br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since there's no customer around except for me (p.s it's pretty late appointment), so yay, I have both pretty manicurist for myself! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at the colors and range to choose from, I took super long before deciding on an all-purple nails to match my hair color.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually made an effort to count the no. of nail polish in the shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
326 normal nail polish & 111 gelish nail polish</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mostly consist of China Glaze, Orly, OPI and Perfect Gelish.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the basic-classic manicure care, my nails are looking pretty and healthy even without any paint on it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the manicurist left after doing pedicure for me, leaving this cute and shy manicurist. Her service is really good, helping me roll down my jeans, wear my shoes, take a picture for me etc etc. I was so 'paiseh' that she have to help me with my shoes. Felt a little handicap but really thankful that she's so kind. I would rate her 80/100 because she's quite quiet throughout the whole manicure session, I have to entertain myself through T.V but overall it's all good for me.</div>

P.s this post took me almost a week to finish drafting because I'm working and studying everyday ._.<br />
<br />
Traditional Peranakan delicacies goes a long way back in history, and it's getting extremely difficult to find authentic restaurant serving Peranakan delicacies anymore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pow Sing manged to uphold its traditions over the years by serving the oh-so-famous Hainanese Chicken Rice as well as their Nyonya delicacies that kept customers coming back for more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zIcjbVRUCSo/UjCdlQZtilI/AAAAAAAAGAc/lV4mAAZp-70/s640/SAM_0620.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Situated in Serangoon Garden, its inaccessibility really do turns me off at times but yet you know it's worth it because of the food. I really do have this love-hate relationship with Pow Sing. I even kind of got lost in the process of finding this place ._. #roadidiot</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, that's not the main point, I believe everyone is more interested in the food than me right, so let the pictures speaks a thousand words.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Nyonya Cabbage Roll - $10/$15/$20</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4npNiX9Bd8A/UjCeiPocQPI/AAAAAAAAGAs/TmvXQn2WlWE/s640/SAM_0623.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cabbage wrapped in my favorite otah, topped with laksa-liked gravy sauce. It does not taste too milky nor spicy, just the perfect taste I'm comfortable with. Cabbage did not get all soggy even after soaked in the gravy for some time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Prawn with Nyonya Traditional Sauce $18/$27/$36</span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's one of my favorite dish of the day. I love prawn so much I named myself 'Prawn Chua' - gotten my idea from Fish Leong. This dish tasted like Assam Fish Head, spicy yet a little sour but on the good side of the scale. Prawn is fresh and I love its sauce. (Y)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: blue;">Nyonya Chap Chye - $8/$12/$16</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's Pow Sing's award-winning dish but because I'm a carnivore, I can't appreciate the goodness of it, it feels soggy and I think it's more for elderly reminiscing the old times where they have this dish at home as well as those that have difficulty chewing food. This is for them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<b><span style="color: blue;"> Hainanese Chicken - $5/pax</span></b></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another of their 'best-seller' dish in Pow Sing. I think it just tasted normal, nothing like 'oh-so-awesome' but just traditional white chicken. The meat is not tender enough but the sauce added some point for this dish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Crispy Nyonya Tauhu - $8/$12/$16</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cv6KP51t5GI/UjChUuNrxkI/AAAAAAAAGBc/C-B7MEb-B48/s640/SAM_0638.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crispy Tauhu that doesn't feel crispy, it's rather disappointing that it's not what I expected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of crispy, it's more like taupok ._.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue;"><b>Fish Head Curry - $32/$36</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-gTzl9X1XF4w/UjCh2ryotcI/AAAAAAAAGBk/EUsYRSf6nHU/s640/SAM_0643.JPG" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, the main dish of the day, their curry fish head. Their fish is very fresh, all you get is tender white meat melting in your mouth. Their Assam sauce is powerful enough, not too spicy nor sour, best among those I ever eaten. (Y)(Y) It's the best among the rest (whoo)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The ambience is more family-like, having big tables like those 'zi-char' place. It's very noisy during peak period because everyone come in big group and they chat loudly so perhaps choose a better timing before dropping by. Beside Pow Sing Restaurant, they have one along the same stretch of road, namely Pow Sing Kitchen. It's their sub restaurant but mostly selling stuffs like 'Hor Fan', 'Chicken Rice' all these. If you are not in groups, maybe that is more suitable for you.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a great time eating all these dishes though I can't say I really appreciated them but they have a long way coming, maintaining their Nyonya spirit. It doesn't come easy but I believe for them it's worth it. They were featured in newspapers, given awards for their various dishes. </div>

And since I'm a west-sider so it took me a while to locate this place, however this place stands out among its neighbors and it will be too difficult to miss it if you're trying to look out for the signage board. Ambience was great and I really like the bar concept but yet adapting the cafe look.<br />
Many of their regulars came down here to play the hi-tech electronic dart machine, it looked interesting though<br />

I know it doesn't make sense but if you overlook the bar's hi-tech electronic darts machines and the full shelves of liquors (totally spoiling the customers with choices) this place feels exactly like a cafe except in darker lightning<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm bad at choices and therefore had them to introduce to us their specialties instead.<br />

All time favorite dish and also my favorite too.<br />
The muffins reminded me of McDonald's and I love the hollandaise sauce that's not too overpowering. A ting of sourness yet creamy together with the egg is best combination that one could ever asked for. A little downside would be the sides. I basically is a sucker for sauteed mushroom but I was disappointed because it was cooked using olive oil and not butter which makes the mushrooms very oily, and the corn doesn't feels full (looks a lil wrinkled) and the salad was oily too because of the use of virgin oil, I mean it's healthy but not good with handling oily stuffs.<br />
<br />
Poked the egg and look at it flow ~<br />

Can y'all guess what's the thing on top?<br />
At first I thought it was caviar but it was a surprise to taste sambal chilli instead.<br />
And this dish could have been a hit if the noodle wasn't that hard. At first I thought it was hard because we spent too much time taking pictures but after another attempt, the noodle was still too hard but at least it's flavorful enough.<br />

How can one miss ordering pizza while having beer right?<br />
Pizza 12" - Thin crust made from scratch<br />
It's only made upon ordering to keep it fresh and you can alter the thickness of the crust too.<br />
I think simplicity is good, and just by having mushroom and cheese is great. But it's a little salty and after eating two slices, it gets a little overwhelmed. But overall a great pizza I would say, just don't eat so many slices on your own.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Brothers: Toffee Apple 4% - $12</span><br />

A whiff of
smoldering toffee, cinnamon, cloves and cream soda.<br />
It's has a very strong caramel taste accompanied by apple fizzy, it reminded me of China Apple Drink (中国苹果味汽水) we often see in coffee shop + caramel in it. I preferred sweet beer, cider and whatsoever. I mean "why drink something bitter when you can have better".<br />
There's also other ranges of cider, beer from their menus that you can choose from or ask them to recommend you based on your preference.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">Chocolate Crunch - $8.50</span><br />

Dark Chocolate creamy ice-cream/cakey drizzled with chocolate sauce and woooooo the ice-cream is not just the normal vanilla ice-cream. It's the very milky old school vanilla we don't get to eat often. It's a little bitter if you eat the dark chocolate on its own, but mixing with the vanilla ice-cream it's just so good that I want to have another serving.<br />
<br />
See la how to diet when I can't say no to sweet stuffs you tell me?<br />
Sinful but worth the calories.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I had only dined once at East Point's Eighteen Chefs years ago when I was working and it was really love at first dine ~ Anyway, I followed <a href="http://michhysaurous.blogspot.sg/2013/06/eighteen-chef-at-cathay-cineleisure.html">Michelle</a> and <a href="http://jasminevictorina.blogspot.sg/2013/05/eighteen-chefs-cineleisure.html">Jasmine</a> to <a href="http://sg.openrice.com/singapore/restaurant/eighteen-chefs/64653/">Openrice</a>'s Food Tasting Event at Eighteen Chefs, and in fact I wouldn't have known it was there if not for this food tasting. It's a great surprise to see a restaurant that I liked opening at one of the place I would hang out when I'm in town.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The main 'lead' of today and it looks fabulous isn't it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It looked simple but it's really takes one's skill to cook up simple dish like this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am so in love with the highly fragrance + flavor fried rice and with the generous amount of beef,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">it's totally worth getting 'heart attack' for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: inherit;">If I ever eat that, I think I've a heart attack ~</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Salmon overcooked but the sauce and sides were great.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It would be a hit if the Salmon was more tender.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a half boiled egg, NO</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a poached egg, NO</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">IT'S THE 64 DEGREE EGG</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Chef Benny said that he was thinking of a unique way of devouring this perfect little egg using straw and I gladly took up the offer to help them experiment it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think I was the very first few who did it and everyone got so excited filming me sucking on that egg.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gml9JNpNjKc/Uea5RVmnMMI/AAAAAAAAF14/qgzS6pg2yD0/s400/IMG_9017.jpg" height="400" width="266" /><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Gml9JNpNjKc/Uea5RVmnMMI/AAAAAAAAF10/CcbB9rK8Jlg/s400/IMG_9017.jpg" height="400" width="266" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's a really fun experience because I never knew I could eat an egg like this and it's funny how everyone started joining me after I finished sucking my egg (sound wrong but ..)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am a sucker for cheese so yeap I liked the cheese.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However, the stuffs for dipping could be improvised.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Time for some sweet treats, and sadly I'm also a sucker for sweet savory</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's one awesome combination, I always liked this kind of thick toast and coating with peanut butter + condensed milk makes the whole thing rich and sweet.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think the brownie and the ice-cream paired up well but unlike most places, Eighteen Chefs' brownies are the plain kind and I preferred it this way. Also, I like how the ice-cream is almost twice as much as brownie, hate those big big chunk of brownies (too 'jelat')</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm sorry that the photo turns out blurry and it took quite a while for everyone to finish taking their shots and when it's my turn it became like this ):</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">but I swear it's the best dessert among the rest, so must try!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">don't worry about it being to sweet, is was covered up by vanilla ice-cream and waffles.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Chocolate ice-cream topped with almond flakes, M&M chocolates and chocolate sauce.</span></div>

It sounds damn good right especially when the name is so long!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really love this recipe and I'm going to share with y'all how to make it for your love ones (:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recipe is easy and ingredients are quite accessible but this requires a lot of time to make but most of the time are just chilling so it's good to make it one day before </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Recipe adapted from <a href="http://bakingmum.blogspot.sg/2006/11/strawberry-marshmallow-cake.html">Baking Mum</a> but I have made some alteration to the recipe and instead of making it using tin, I made it in jars, easier to store and bring for friends to eat.</div>

150ml of cold water</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Directions:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RZXzUhvFvSw/Ubnt1oyWaDI/AAAAAAAAFxk/TJQdvk5cr4s/s640/2013-05-15+15.21.12.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Crush <b>Digestive Biscuits</b> into fine crumbs, and add <b>Melted Butter</b> in and mixed it well</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-0QZjblQdOwU/Ubnt19mxnWI/AAAAAAAAFxo/g7irIMM220s/s640/2013-05-15+16.26.47.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Press the mixed <b>Ingredients (A)</b> into jars and leave it to chill inside the fridge for 20-30 minutes or so to harden the base.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E8WQVJlq2HI/Ubnt32Cz-7I/AAAAAAAAFxw/7hTm2ITQ9Bg/s640/2013-05-15+16.38.37.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. In the mean while, heat up <b>Marshmallow</b>, <b>Skimmed Milk</b> & <b>Whipping Cream</b> inside a pot. Just small fire and constant stirring to prevent it from burning</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Do not use big fire because it will burnt the marshmallows*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eR47Am5Gdqc/Ubnt6Wz-WdI/AAAAAAAAFyA/WxrOtm7p7xw/s640/2013-05-15+16.44.02.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Add in <b>Melted Gelatin</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Tip: Add two teaspoon of water to <b>Gelatin</b> and stir before adding boiling water to melt it, this will prevent Gelatin from lumping up*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stir well and leave it to cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-5hJwABfZYes/Ubnt5xRYesI/AAAAAAAAFx8/REEM_FmBBoA/s640/2013-05-15+19.16.51.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Take out the jars from the fridge and add the<b> Marshmallow</b> layer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Tip: Since it's bubbly and I didn't like it so I used sieve to remove the most of the bubbles*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leave it to chill for half hour.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tJ3G8kBl67g/Ubnt-oH3sjI/AAAAAAAAFyU/7p8IEJ_qrrA/s640/2013-05-15+19.18.24.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. (Optional)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut <b>Strawberry</b> and top them over the <b>Marshmallow</b> layer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Press the<b> Strawberry</b> down a little but not too much because you won't want to spoil the layer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chill it for four hours or freeze it for two hours if you are in a hurry</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I normally let it chill overnight though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Pour out the <b>Jello</b> powder and add hot water to it before adding cold water.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stir it well and let it cool for a little bit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Tip: I normally put inside the freezer for like a couple of minute to quicken the cooling process*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="426" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PDToj5Dj_pg/UbnuCxnVEPI/AAAAAAAAFyw/FJtvyAsezH8/s640/2013-05-16+01.15.35.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8. Pour the <b>Jello Topping</b> in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pour it slowly in case the <b>Strawberry </b>might float because of the pressure or whatsoever because it did happened when I pour too quickly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chill it for at least two hours, or until you find the jello hardens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fxqeAjBSKgo/UbnuC2Ylg5I/AAAAAAAAFys/VotdebKPfj8/s400/2013-05-16+01.15.00.jpg" width="266" /><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-023g2bJjdss/UbnuA5L_s5I/AAAAAAAAFyg/DMlDpKx32_s/s400/2013-05-16+01.14.59.jpg" width="266" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
9. Serve it chilled (:</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
It sounded easy right! Just a little bit more effort and I'm really glad how my friends loved this creation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like Michelle, Jasmine and Eileen who have tried said that I can sell this online ~ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

at start because they </span>didn't<span style="font-family: inherit;"> have any exotic colors because this branch is more
catered for Caucasians and has more of the warm colors instead. I have to admit
I am a super annoying customer because I can never know what I want and I keep

<div style="text-align: center;">
I did something like overlay for my hair, where the lower layer of my hair is dyed red and only the center of my back hair are bleached. It's more of a 'now you see it now you don't kind of hair'. It's great for working adults or people who don't wish to dye their hair fully red.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was anticipating for the end results because the way they did my hair it doesn't feel like something awesome is going to pop right out of the aluminium foil, and I spend quite a while waiting for my hair to 'eat' the colors.</div>

I had to say I totally love my hair now.<br />
It gives my hair a fresh look with two-tone hair color, allowing me to do different style to my hair and looking different each time, except the bleached part is dried. My red hair still standing strong even after two weeks.<br />
I would definitely go back to Eden Salon again.<br />
Thanks Sha for giving me what I initially wanted (pink highlights) even though it's not in the 'menu' and Eden Salon for the chance!<br />

<b>Home of Sticky Bones. Big, Juicy and Tender.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's exactly what you can expect from Morganfield's and their signature sticky bones BBQ pork ribs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's my first time dining at Morganfield's at Star Vista, it's on the second floor, quite visible and difficult to be missed. Taking the escalator up, you probably will be able to see it directly (depending on which escalator you are taking)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ambience was great and from first look I know where's my next gathering will be at because according to their staffs, this place is meant for gatherings and you can easily see it by the outlook of their tables layout. They have more of four and eight seats tables and chairs and their platters set, which caters for groups to share. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This visit is to try out their new dishes on the menu and I can't wait to share with you guys right now. But right now it is time to gear up (:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a super duber cute bib that they issued to us and I really wanted to bring it home but they didn't allow it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've gotten "Busy Eating. Do No Disturb"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kaman " Pork. It's The Meat of Kings"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So to fit into this place, I decided to tell them a joke before I start eating</div>

<b>Mushroom Soup $8.90</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Homemade cream soup with generous mixed mushroom chunks.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Served with toasted baguette slices.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's my favorite soup because I love mushroom soups you can taste the bits of mushroom here and there.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Lobster Bisque $9.90</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Classic Lobster Bisque. Smooth, creamy and packed full of shellfish flavor. Served with toasted baguette slices</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would have loved this soup too if it wasn't so salty. You can actually taste the lobster(just like mushroom bits) it was really quite good to savor the chunks of lobster and the only things that need to improve would be their saltiness of the soup.</div>

<b>Summer Salad $15.90</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Watermelon chunks, cucumbers, tomatoes, mixed lettuces, Kalamata olives, Manzanlilla olives, Feta cheese and sundried tomatoes. Served with Summer dressing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dish tasted weird. Combination of watermelon and cheese felt kinda disgusting to me because it's sweet and salty ._.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> Pop Corn Pork $8.90</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Pork cubes marinated with Morganfield's secret spice mix and deep fried till crisp. Served with homemade Garlic Aioli and BBQ Ranch sauce.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite till now. It's gives me the misconception that I was having popcorn chicken till they pointed it out that it was pork that I was having. The sauce was great, especially BBQ ranch sauce, however Garlic tasted a little too much after a few dips.</div>

<b> Grilled Vegetable Sandwich $19.90</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Grilled pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, Cheddar, Feta cheese sandwiched in between crispy grilled Panini bread</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(I have no idea why I didn't take photo of this, probably because I was busy eating so I took this photo from <a href="http://michhysaurous.blogspot.sg/2013/05/morganfields-singapore-at-star-vista.html">Michelle's Blog</a>)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, apart from all the grilled pepper and stuffs, I find it to be quite nice but it doesn't make sense to pay and not eat half of what's in it for me though.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Pan Fried Sea Bass $26.90</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Pan fried sea bass fillet, topped with Hollandaise sauce. Served with Pilaf Rice & Garden Veggies</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(Again, I forgotten to take picture for this, so credits to Michelle)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fish was a little overcooked so it's kind of tough to bite and chew. The rice was unique because it smells like Chicken Rice but in fact it is more of a herb rice.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Herb Roasted Chicken $21.90</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Half chicken marinated with our special blend of herbs & yogurt before being roasted to juicy perfection. Served with Red Skin Mash Potatoes, Garden Veggies and Morganfield's House Gravy</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was surprised that their chicken was marinated using yogurt (!) and as expected it turned out really good. Chicken was very tender on the inside, and matched well with their Gravy. It's worth to try.</div>

I love desserts, and this is so far the best lava cake I've eaten. But I would advise to share it because it's so thick and rich you probably get too sick to continue after several mouths of it. It's really super nice having it warm topped with cold ice cream, as though having the best of both worlds in your mouth, totally heavenly.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In conclusion, I find that the portions are great and very generous for each platter, which is totally worth the money. The four of us having difficulty finishing half of the platters up, we need back up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it would serve 4-6 men or probably 6-8 women, depending on which platters ordered. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not a fan of ribs because I always hate stuffs with bones, and it was really awesome that the ribs are juicy, tender and do not stick on to the rib bones (!) ME LIKE</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think that besides the sharing platters which are considered affordable, the rest of the food might be a little too costly.</div>

I had great time eating here because it's full of fun and laughter to be gathered at a place like this.</div>

Okay so instead of singing, I'm like more into playing pool. I'm not really good in pool because I always lose when I'm with my uni cliques. I think I'm just lucky that day to win them, not fake or trying to act humble but really lor I'm always super happy that I managed to clear at least half of the balls when I'm playing with uni cliques at TPY. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is OMY's second food trail and I'm thankful that I had the chance to experience different varieties of food. It's just way too exciting that I didn't even eat dinner the day before just to prepare myself for the food trail.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> P.S I think I'm a little slow because I didn't even know this shop existed at Bugis Junction, or probably because I usually don't travel up to 4th floor. It's just beside the cinema, so for those who are catching a movie and need some food, this is probably the best place. I love fries, and there's all sorts of fries to pair up with your meal. Looking at their dishes, it's really consistent with their shop name #ifyougetwhatImean</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love Jap cruisine too, I think it's really awesome how I get to eat all my favourite cruisines.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, Kazokutei, another restaurant that I've never been to but their noodles served was really chewy! QQQQ I like. Another thing is, I'm very particular about Cha Soba and theirs is really quite unique, in the sense that it seems to be made using "flat noodles" and similiar to their udon, it's chewy as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've tried the sushi and I think it's real fresh unlike those ready-made sushi.</span></div>

I was like "EH got reserved tables, must be for us one right?!" and thankgod it is! I literally ate three slices of cheesecake excluding other varieties, which means it could easily been total up to five slices of cake?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Platypus aims to provide customers with value-for-money dining experiences, therefore all dishes are priced under $20. Not only that, Platypus introduce monthly set lunch promotions (starting from $10.90) and set dinner promotions as well (starting from $16.90).</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Momo-Lychee Ale (Pinkish) $9.90</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and lemons, then garnished with fresh apples, lemon and passion fruit</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I would prefer the lychee one even though I love apple because it tasted much sweeter and better.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Truffle Fries $6.90</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thick cut French fries seasoned with white truffle oil tossed in Truffle salsa and topped with shaved truffles</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love the fries as well as truffles but it would be better if truffles could stick to the fries instead of dropping everywhere. It's more like eating fries and truffles separately even though <b>Platypus Kitchen</b> is very generous with their truffles.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Crab Cake $12.90</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Three potato fritters stuffed with chunks of crab claw meat, deep fried and served with lemon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can taste good quality crab claw meat (not those cheapo crab sticks) from the Crab Cake but it's a little too dry even with lemon.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Risotto balls $8.90</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mozzarella-stuffed balls of risotto, breaded in panko then deep fried and served over of rich pumpkin puree</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Crispy on the outer layer and tasty risotto mixed with mozzarella inside, followed by coating it with pumpkin puree before stuffing one into your mouth. This combination is simply marvellous and it's my favourite side dishes! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Saffron & Caviar Risotto $19.90</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Saffron infused risotto with char-grilled prawns and scallops then finished with sustainable caviar and fine herbs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Paying less than $20 to enjoy premium Caviar, that's really a steal. I think all the ingredients blended in well with one another however Caviar is a little too salty, but I like (Y)</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Squid-ink Scallops Ragout $16.50</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Squid-ink Tagliolini served with seared bay scallops in a light garlic-dashi sauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've never really liked squid-ink pasta because they tend to make your teeth all black and disgusting. However this pasta does not (!) I was really surprised, definitely worth the try. I like the scallops and pasta but I didn't really like how babytomato seems to be stealing the limelight.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Egg Tagliatelle with double-smoked bacon and mushrooms in a truffle egg-yolk sauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Carbonara fan, this is for you! Pasta belongs to the flat kind and I think probably because of the bacon, the whole dish turned out to be quite salty. But I love how generous <b>Platypus Kitchen</b> is, look at the amount of truffles they give! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Egg Tagliolini with prawns and crab claw tossed in a spicy egg sauce</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Spicy Diablo, not the Diablo 3 hor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This dish my favourite main course! It has my favourite seafoods -crab and prawn, and the spicines is just right for me to enjoy some "shiokness" </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b> Pressed Pork Belly $19.90</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Melt in your mouth pork belly served with braised apples, garden vegetables and a honey & clove apple glaze.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Heard that it's one of their most popular dish in <b>Platypus Kitchen</b>. I was quite anticipating because it looked great when they pour the glaze over the pork belly. It didn't fail my expection because it turned out to be very tender like how the menu described as "melt in your mouth"</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Iced Sea Salt Caramel $8.90</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sea salt & caramel butter cream, chocolate peanut butter brittle, ganache and popping candy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's unique because it's layered with popping candy that "pop" in your mouth for around 30seconds. It's really quite interesting and it reminds me of my childhood sweet, the leg-shaped lollipop with popping candy inside that you can coat with, it's exactly the same.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Platypus Kitchen</b> showed us that <b>"Gourmet Food Should Be Affordable". </b>Bringing the finest handmade food to customers and charging them value-for-money prices, allow everyone to experience their food.

Look at me, I'm a happy girl because I've gotten Bachelor's Banquet from Nicholas Lin(Owner of Platypus Kitchen) and signed by him tooooooo! -Fangirl mode- I love cooking and I'm thankful how generous he is to gift us his book! Thank You!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JHwV8yRWo4E/UXftudiFOcI/AAAAAAAAFK4/NE4CE9aQPxg/s640/20130413_104013.jpg" width="640" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Everything with Fries at Bugis Juniction, it's their fourth branch and their newest one. Located at 4th floor right beside cinema, it's one good dining place for anyone who wants to chill before or after a movie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's my first time eating Everything with Fries. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At first I thought it might be something like <strike>Best Fries Forever</strike> but it's more than that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Serving all their main course with fries and that's probably the reason behind the name #ifyougetwhatimean</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There's five different flavours of Fries to choose from.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit; line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">Original, Curry, Salt & Vinegar, Sour Cream and Onion, Garlic and herbs</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> However if you aren't much a fan of fries it's alright there's also sides like colesaw.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Upon arrival, I've ordered English Breakfast Tea since it's early in the morning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Looking e<span style="line-height: 17px;">xquisite, </span>however the taste of the tea turns out to be so-so only</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Introducing - The One Egg Soup $6.90</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like it's name, it's made using only one egg and it's really surprisingly nice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Thick, creamy and the fried egg white added a little crisp to the soup.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It will be perfect if their soup is less oily #SLUUUURPS</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Skinny Wings $6.90</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Crispy on the outside and tender inside, meat does not stick to the bone. It's called skinny wings because the size is almost half of the original wings. Anyway it's a little too oily and salty for me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Char-Grilled Char Siew $15.90</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Handrolled pork belly roulade, char-grilled with garlic sauce</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Meat is tender and juicy with minimal fats in it, paired up with garlic sauce, it's marvellous and a definitely must try for pork belly lovers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wild NZ King Salmon $18.90</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Crispy crumbs over melt-in-the-mouth salmon</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At first look, it might give us the impression that the salmon would be crispy and hard, instead it's super soft and melts in your mouth. It's semi-cooked premium salmon and that's why it's so soft and pairing up with the sauce, it's one of the softest salmon I've eaten in my life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's my favourite out of the many dishes I've tried in EwF</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oxdixUoWbNo/UXft4P_4D0I/AAAAAAAAFLk/MDNccHlWTBk/s640/20130413_112556.jpg" width="640" /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Char-grilled Beef Karubi $21.90</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am not a fan of Beef, in fact I don't really eat it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not really because of religious reason but it's more of being selective when it comes to Beef.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">But this beef is tender and the mushroom sauce added more flavors to it. It's super chewy and I love that it's boneless (I dislike boney stuffs) so it's very easy to consume without spending much effort in cutting the Beef.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tandoori Chicken Sandwich $11.90</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Char-flamed whole chicken leg with EwF's tandoori marinade</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Meat is tender and juicy, great choice to sandwich it with bread to lessen the flavors of the sauce.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Grilled Pork Chop $13.90</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Meat is a little too tough, didn't really like this one</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Steak with Tulang $25.90</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tulang refers to bone marrow, it looks a little like Bamboo Rice but it tasted like a mixture of Jelly+Fats. I didn't like it at all because it tasted like eating fats ._. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">However the ribeye steak served with red wine enriched steak sauce was great and my favourite part of this dish is actually their sauteed mushrooms(!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's not in the menu because it's seasonal so try it before they are goneeeeee.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">EwF at Bugis Junction has an "open door" concept so it's probably noisy during weekends where everyone is queueing for tickets at Cinema. However their food is great and affordable, so I think it's worth to try. I really wanted to try their Nutella Tart which we didn't get to try.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'll probably be back again for their dishes, and will review if I've tried one!</span></div>

I was quite elated to receive Liese's New Bubble Hair Color - <span style="color: magenta;">Jewel Pink</span>. Don't go 'woah' because it's not literally pink, it's more of brownish with ting of pinkyness in it which actually isn't that obvious. I took it up because I think it's actually quite bright like my previous hair color or rather more brighter because of the pink in it. I love brown that are bright, it makes one look more cheerful! The perfect hair color I want!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-71PFgG_6NjI/UXD32X_l43I/AAAAAAAAFGM/OSUL94G3m30/s320/products_ph001.jpg" height="320" width="288" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here's the product delivered to me two weeks ago, two bottles of <span style="color: magenta;">Liese's Jewel Pink</span>, <span style="color: magenta;">Pink Hairband</span> and <span style="color: magenta;">Pink Roses</span>. How sweet are they!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mguKhN2oBFw/UXD308jyC7I/AAAAAAAAFF8/BLVRXS2hI6g/s640/SAM_0708.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So basically, what you see is what you get.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It should include(Anti-Clockwise From Top):</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Instructions for Use</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Rinse-off Treatment</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Gloves</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Foamer Cap</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Solution 1</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Solution 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PBxW1wHxB4U/UXD34ZXTaXI/AAAAAAAAFGU/vUNL09zLnKg/s640/SAM_0725.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I would recommend you get yourself ready for the D.I.Y</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Change into clothing you don't mind staining and wrap a towel or cape around your neck.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. It is not necessary to divide your hairs into section because you are just going to 'wash' your hair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. To make it easier to remove any mixture that gets onto the skin, apply a thin layer of oil-based skin cream to the hairline including ears, forehead and neckline etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. If mixture gets onto skin or drips, wipe off immediately with damp cotto pad or tissue paper as the longer the mixture stained your skin, the harder irt is to remove.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Opps, a little bit messy around here, but my room is even messier than my hair for sure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm totally in love with the outcome, though boyf said it looks the same as my old color, but I was really happy when Joyce asked if I've dye my hair recently because it looks exceptionally brown and even brighter than before. Okay my day is set!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>My Experience with Liese's <span style="color: magenta;">Jewel Pink</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">Jewel Pink</span> is really a very nice color, in fact I love all their bright color series!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For ladies who intend to get it, remember if you have shoulder length hair or up to bra- length hair you probably only need one bottle, however if your hair is thick or super long you probably need one half or two to fully cover it. You can even share with someone but do not keep it overnight, it will literally spoil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've actually purchased Liese's Bubble Hair Color before but that was few years ago because at that point of time my hair wasn't really those that 'eat color' so every color I dye literally looks black on me unless under the sun. After trying out Etude House's one that spoilt my hair, I've decided to go salon instead. However after this attempt, I can finally dye my hair using Liese Hair Bubble Color without going back to salon. It's a much cheaper alternative for me and I like the outcome of it. It only require you to do 'shampooing' motion to your hair and it will cover every part of your hair, you don't even have to worry about missing any spot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trust me, <b><span style="color: red;">"It's so easy even my ahma know hows to use Liese's Bubble Hair Color"</span></b> except that she don't need it because she has this perfect natural white-gold hair color right now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love my hair nowwwww /flickhairs</div>

Remembered that in <a href="http://sugaryapples.blogspot.sg/2013/04/sponsored-giveaway-marinex-osteomilk.html">OsteoMilk</a> Post I said I will be updating recipe, and now I'm back to demonstrate how to make Banana Biscuit Cake with OsteoMilk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All you need is 3 ingredients to give you the perfect breakfast(dessert) depending on when you're having it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It's actually adapted from Happy Together 3 Episode 282, where their guests are <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16px;">Girls' Generation, Kim Wansun, Baek Jiyoung. I personally found it really interesting how she actually made a cake with only minimal ingredient, in fact it didn't take as long as three hours like stated in the show, just that you need to leave it in the fridge for hours to let the cake absorb the moisture. However, I'm only doing the Banana Cake without Whipped Cream, it's more for breakfast or light dessert.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh and people might ask why do I want to use OsteoMilk. It's because OsteoMilk keeps you pretty inside out because of its collagen where normal milk doesn't provide and it's less fattening too :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't add whipped cream(fattening) and it's much easier this way. However if you intend to make it as Birthday cake then go ahead. Just follow the instructions and layered the top and sides with whipped cream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can watch the full video <a href="http://k24h.com/eng-sub-happy-together-episode-282-with-snsd/">HERE</a>, it's Episode 282 Part 5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;">It's really simple how it's done and i</span>t's unbelievable how it tasted like cake because it has absorbed all the milk during chilling and banana rocks! You can actually make more because there will still be quite a bit of OsteoMilk leftover(I drank it) It doesn't really matter as long as you got enough Marie Biscuits and Banana</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="line-height: normal;">I'll be experimenting how it works with both banana and strawberry, seems cool too.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello, I'm back for more blogging. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I wonder if anyone misses this blog?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Anyway, I was invited to <b style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><a href="http://www.thaiexpress.com.sg/">ThaiExpress</a> </b><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Community Games 2013 Bloggers Dinner at Bugis+ last Tuesday.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">I not sure if you guys know but ThaiExpress has </span><span style="line-height: 21px;">launched a new menu with over 130 items at the start of the New Year. The revamp act aims to freshen up local diners’ palate with a slew of new menu items inspired by authentic Thai dishes from different parts of Thailand.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">It simply means more varieties of food and even tastier than it was before.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">I<span style="font-family: inherit;"> met up with </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://michhysaurous.blogspot.sg/" style="line-height: 21px;">Michy</a><span style="line-height: 21px;"> & </span><a href="http://kamanbaby.blogspot.sg/" style="line-height: 21px;">Kaman</a><span style="line-height: 21px;"> before the designated timing because I was told to be early. End up, we really are the earliest and we have to self entertain ourselves. But first, we order drinks first.</span></span></span><br />

We started joking about how KaMan needs the herbal drink since she's oldest among us. I realize if you drink red bean milkshake followed by herbal drink; it taste like oilment :X<br />
Then we started taking photos while waiting for the rest to come</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;">I really love how funny they are! Michy is really outgoing and </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">fun to attend events with. Not forgetting my love-hate partner KaMan, I see her so often in events till I feel sick </span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">already</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"> but without her I'm gonna feel so empty (puke) because she stay near me!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">So before I spoil your appetite, let's introduce to you guys the dishes we are served that night</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 21px;">I know I'm quite a </span><span style="line-height: 21px;">sadist</span><span style="line-height: 21px;"> but I can't help but to laugh at </span><a href="http://www.calvintimo.com/" style="line-height: 21px;">Calvin</a><span style="line-height: 21px;">'s attempts to pronounce the name.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">The dish name end up becoming</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"> -靠糖</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;">拿糖</span><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 21px;"> (LOL)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;">Rice Cracker dipped in Creamy Sauce sounds good but I felt that the creamy sauce was overpowered by coconut milk, so I didn't really fancy this dish.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I didn't really dipped the plum sauce because I find the Crab Meat and Chicken Cake was very nice on its own. It's feels like eating Chicken Fillet.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I believe this one is among bloggers's top favourite with a bit of Korean style.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> It has quite unique way of eating.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">First, pick a lettuce, then you layered a piece of Kway Teow, and add the amount of Minced Meat and Spicy Sauce you would like to have before wrapping it up and gobble it down.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tadah, it should look like this (below)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The sauce is quite spicy so if you can't take spicy probably can give it a miss because the meat itself is tasty enough.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 21px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I think ice-cream and sticky rice itself is the best combination, something like Mango Sticky Rice!</span></span></div>

I've seen many of COCOA B's reviews and it seems great and therefore I purchased one for my boyf on Valentine's Day and I was surprised of the remarkable services I've received. I purchased it rather last minute and I was in JB at the point of time, but I told her I would need it the day after tomorrow which is Valentine's Day but I couldn't transfer because I wasn't in Singapore until probably late night. They were kind enough to prepare my ingredients for my Chocolate and said they will set to work once I paid, so it would be ready on V's Day eve and delivered to me. I was so glad they are able to rush it out for me. I really appreciated the hard effort.<br />
As I've said I purchased it, therefore this is not sponsored and is based on my own opinions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a look at my creation</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My Orders:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 White Chocolate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ Macadamia Nuts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ Bacon Bits</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ I Love You Plaque</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
+ Red Heart Sprinkle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't it very Valentine-ish because of the red and white combination of colors?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really liked it because it's really pretty and customized based on my preference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought Bacon Bits because it was one of the signature toppings and it seems cool enough to add Bacon Bits in your Chocolate. I mean where else can you find it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Boyf loves it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He said the Bacon Bits was really nice and blended well into the creation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I didn't really like the Bacon Bits in the chocolate though, I love sweet stuffs so probably salty isn't my type of chocolate. However I think the Chocolate quality was great and the macadamia nut was my favorite. But it doesn't matter if I liked it or not because what important is he loves it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall I think that COCOA B has really innovative idea of customizing Chocolate because nobody has the same liking, and there's large variety of toppings to choose from, ranging from fruits to exotic toppings. I would love it if they have a retail shops in Singapore instead of online.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I'm even more excited about is, now there is two sizes to opt for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So instead of fighting for Chocolate, now me and boyf gets one of our favorite Chocolates and topping each.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I believe that nothing beats stuffs customized to our own preference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like having my Chocolate customized.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How about you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

King is almost 40 years old already, surprised? They have been very popular
among the Westerns and it’s time to spread some love over here to Singapore. I’ve
actually asked if they plan to open more since I think they are doing real well
and they said they are intending to open 10 additional Smoothie King’s branches
all over Singapore by end of 2013. I can’t wait for Smoothie King to be opened
in the West area, best for people like me who are in diet but having strong craving
for some icy and sweet smoothie with low calories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

And my favorite would definitely be their Strawberry X-Treme! I'm a strawberry lover and I think it totally conquer my taste-bud. It's fresh, sweet with a tingy sour tasted, you can even taste the small small seedy bits of strawberry.

It's me and <span class="st">❤'s 4th Monthsary and I decided to bake again since I've cancelled my job on Sat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="st">This
time I decided to try making lava cake because it's my favourite! I saw
recipe of lava cake on Openrice Singapore website and I triggered my
interest and began to research on the best and easiest recipe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="st">Ever
wonder how lava cakes are made? How the chocolate ooze out from the
inner while the outer is like a perfect chocolate cake? Well, maybe
after reading further your questions would be answered.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 1: Melt the </b><b>Chocolate and </b><b>Butter </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Melt
it in a bowl using microwave, double boiler, water bath but do not try
to melt it over heat because it'll get burnt easily, and it's going to
waste money and your time cleaning up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I melted mine using microwave for around 10minutes or so. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 2: Whisk up Ingredient (B)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meanwhile, use an electric whisk, or by hand to beat the Eggs and Sugar till the mixture turns
pale and frothy. Sadly I've no electric whisk so I've to beat it manually and I looks like this, not bad right.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Step 3: Mix Ingredient (A) + (B) + (C)</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix your melted Butter & Chocolate, whisked Egg and Sugar, together with Flour. Mix it well till it become thick liquid.</div>

It will raise a little when baked as there is self raising flour in it, therefore don't fill it to the brim.<br />

<b>Step 6: Decorate it ~</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sprinkle
some sugar, deco with some strawberry or even top up your favourite
ice-cream and TADAH, this wonderful little creation is done! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Something to take note of:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do
not over-bake it if you want to see chocolate oozing out from the
inner, try to keep it at 10minutes. If not it will turn out to be a
super moist
chocolate cake instead of lava cake. But either way both tasted nice! I
tried two batch, one turned out to be great while another over-baked and
the inner turns out to be moist without oozing chocolates ): So be real
careful.</div>

<img border="0" height="452" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-f5VZVPl8AUE/ULIcc3rDnhI/AAAAAAAACZQ/wF9AYZYBvfI/s640/nook+new.png" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOOK is Singapore's very first D.I.Y concept for pancakes! Having their own tagline of:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Be a Pancake stylist at Nook.<br />
Create your own Pancake art."<br />
They are able to capture customers with their innovative and yet
interactive concept of designing their own pancakes. Instead of having
the old school kind of round pancake, you're free to design any picture,
shapes you like! Everyone can design and create their pancakes with the
myriad of toppings and sides available, with only the freshest
ingredients.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HOW FUN CAN THAT BE?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I
went to NOOK along with Cherie & my niece because I've managed to
grab their student offer on Facebook. The offer I gotten entitles me
& my friends for Eat-All-You-Can NOOK Pancakes Buffet with unlimited
topping with just $10!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's seriously
an awesome deal, because normally pancakes and two toppings would cost
around $25 for two person, and now we can get unlimited topping with
just $10.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The place is considered
somewhere I would hang around, but I still took me sometime to find it
because it's located quite inside of the alley. & we're like the
only customers for the day at 3pm, maybe because it's weekday. After
settling down and ordered drinks it's time to CHIONG AHZXZXZXZXZXZ!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's
all our first time experiencing D.I.Y Pancakes, and we're super duper
excited, not knowing how to do what to do. I've seen many nice designs
created by other customers but somehow rather my creative brain juice
seems to die out when we stepped in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at some of the awesome designs done by others!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And
then you look at us, my 'best' masterpiece. Look at the amount that was
ruined, had some difficulties stuffing everything down. & also our
9-layered pancakes with toppings! (:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was thinking how the hell people do until so nice while mine is like crap ._.WHY?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think we've bad control over the fire, sometimes too big sometimes too small, cannot just nice one!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I forgot to mention they actually have different flavours batter and that explains the colorful pancakes we are having.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In fact it's not just all, they have even more stuffs in their menu
where you can take a look and try it out, including their toast and
omelette</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even
though it's just 3 hours, but we have plenty fun right here! To be
honest, I think designing is quite fun but the end of the day we wasted
quite alot of batter because we play so much but we eat so little. Look
at us cam-whoring (This is less than half amount of photo we took, some
were too unglam that Cherie refuse to upload ):) & our wastage of
food.</div>
