It is in fact my first time to do online shopping. Initially, I wasn't too keen in online shopping,especially for clothes as I prefer to try on the clothes to make sure that I can fit into them nicely. But lately, I was introduced to this blog store by my friend & realised that it is quite interesting.
The website provides pictures of models wearing the clothes on sale. Furthermore, they also provide useful information such as the length of clothes, bust diameter, sleeve length, arm hole, stretchability, etc. Very customer-friendly!
From the series, I've picked 2 pieces of clothes. However, only 1 of them was available and it took them quite a while (about 2 weeks) before I was informed. The delivery also took quite some time t arrive (near to 2 months).
On the overall, I like the clothes catalogue, which covers a wide range of clothes from casual wear to office wear. However, their customer service should be improved.

Decided to watch Golden Compass on a weekday in Gold Class to pamper ourselves for once. Haa....
Surprised to see that it is almost fully booked on a weekday afternoon. Hmm... Seem like a lot of ppl really dun mind spending money for comfort. Haa...
Once in, we are greeted by very polite servers. There is a lounge for us to relax while waiting for our movie to start. The menu is very impressive as well where we can order set meals to snacks to even beer or while while watching the movies. Haa...
Once we are urshered to our seats, we are greeted by big plush red sofa chairs, with a blanket on the sides. The seats are very comfortable and with a push on the side button, the seat will slowly move into a flat bed position. So you can adjust to whatever position that you are comfortable with.
There is a small table in between the seats where you can place your snacks or food. There is a button on the table where you can press for service.
As there is only like 24 seats in the cinema, the space is really big and no way the person in front can block you. The screen is a wide large screen that fills the length of the room.
Paying $25 per ticket ($30 for weekends), is consider a luxruy to me. However if the movie is 2.5 hrs or even longer, I think the money is worth spending. At times, they will have special promotion for with food tied in with the movie and I think that is much more worth it.
What a way to pamper a movie lover like myself. Hee.....

Went for my 1st Spa experience @ The Rainforest Spa. When 1st step in, the whole place gave a very calming and peaceful effect.
Since it is our 1st time there, the reception was patient to explain our package to us. Our package includes of
1. Outdoor Jacuzzi & Steam Bath
2. Body Scrub
3. Massage
So we changed before we started and the locker was well equiped with a robe, shorts, slippers and towels.
Before we started, we were served some tea, before we start our Jacuzzi. Since it was outdoor and it was raining, the hot Jacuzzi was a good welcome. Spent about 40 mins in it. We were given fresh towels to dry ourselves.
After which, we were urshered to our respective steamrooms.
While waiting for the scrubs, we were urshered into a holding area, where we can sit down and relax, with hot tea provided.
For our body scrubs, we chose sugar scrub with lavender scent. We were urshered into a room with smoothing music playing at the same time. While lying on the bed, they "forcefully" scrub the lavender scent sugar crystals on us. It is not painful but a little ticklish. Hee.... After which we were asked to shower off. Our bodies were smelling great after it.
After another cup of hot tea, we started our massage. I got the Traditional Indonesian Massage while my partner got Indulgent Aroma Massage. For mine, it was done in a good and forceful way. It did relax all my tensed muscles. The whole massage was smooth and relaxing. The massuer also used enough force as well.
After another quick shower, we lazed around with another hot cup of tea, relaxing.
The whole experience was very good and it was done in a professional way as well. It seems that we have the whole palce to us as there is no other people at the same time. This was great as we dun feel like rush to complete our package.
In fact the whole experience was so good that we signed up for another 3 more couple packages. Since the spa is located in Safra, the rpcie is also cheaper than those in town area or in hotels. So looking forward to our next spa experience. For those who have not tried it, should do so quick!
Time to feel relax in these stressful times!

Was at a blogger event last night at Essential Brew. The place was cosy and nice. I like the way they did up the upper deck. But for those with smelly feet, you might want to stay on the lower deck. (Cos you need to remove your shoes if you dine at the upper floor.) And ladies in super mini skirt, please avoid too. Or bring a jacket. :)
I forgot to take a look at the menu, was busy taking photos of it but didn't flip it open.
I had the Cajun Dory and I enjoyed it. (Although it was already cold when I ate it.) The fish was still crispy outside and the softness inside is nice. There was no fishy smell and the cajun blended well with the fish. The rice that came with it was something unique. It looked like curry sauce at first but it was sweet. I lovee it so much I cleared off the entire plate! The rice has a sauce over it which tasted like Oolong tea. It gives a refreshing feeling.
The desserts were served complimentary. For my table it was a brownie like cake with ice-cream. It doesn't taste like brownie so I'm calling it chocolate cake. This one I would probably give it a miss as it was not to my liking.
Now that I've got their discount card, I'll most probably be going back when I have time to travel all the way to Holland Village. I want to try their other dishes! The Crispy Lemongrass Chicken and the Honey Mastard Chicken looks nice too.
Anyone want to go give this place a try? ;)

At first glance, we thought that Marche had changed their name to Vilage, pronounced as vee-lah-jay. The ordering system was the same, food was also the same and everything else looked similar. Vilage was also occupying the same place as Marche at the basement of Heeren. What can we say but good marketing move to open a similar styled restaurant occupying the same premise as your competitor.
We dined at Marche a few times and the experience at Vilage was no difference. We went for our personal favourite... the rosti. Looked and tasted the same. Only later did we realise that about 10 of Vilage's pioneering staff were from Marche. They crossed over together with Marche's former kitchen and operating manager.
Does that explain the similarities in the mascot also?
We had the Baked Cod fish $14.50 and that was all it was on the plate. One piece of baked cod fish. Side dishes were no where in sight. The taste and texture of the fish was nothing to shout about. It was creamy and juicy and tasted like the one we cooked ourselves, except that the fish we cooked was larger in size. :)
Perhaps there is something different in the Vilage with Marche. Most of the portions have shrunked - rosti, pasta, pizza, etc, except the Erdinger Beer. haha.
Our total bill came up to $45 for 2 persons and we were still hungry. Maybe must eat more.

Curry rice hunting lead us to this place touted as one of the best in Singapore. The queue was not too long and we were able to have our first bite in about 10 min.
Like all curry rice, we had to stop the uncle from "messing" up the rice and the dishes with tons and tons of curry, gravy and whatever it was that he poured on it. Perhaps that is how it should be eaten. But that was not to our liking. Despite pulling the brakes on the gravy the plate was still covered with much of it.
The pork chop was medium sized and tasted ok. It was rather soft and it did not feel crisp. Perhaps the gravy softened it. The rest of the other dishes were just about there. Nothing to crave about. We will still stick to our fav stall at Maxwell Road Food Center.

My company's D&D was held in the ballroom at the top storey of the hotel. Just a short distance away from the ballroom is the swimming. Nice rooftop view!
Coming into the ballroom, it was not a very big one but it does come with a small stage. The decoration was simple.
The dinner was served in buffet syle, with food like wild mushroom soup, raisin mushroom rice, teriyaki chicken, smoked salmon, satay, tahu goreng and many others. Some dishes were ok but some were not. A couple of the dishes were either too bland or too salty.
But luckily, their dessert was good. Especially their cheesecakes, which were very nicely made into small round shape. There's also a few types of cheesecakes available which includes oreo cheesecake, New York cheesecake and marble cheesecake. All tasted great!
Other than that, I find their service ok only. The waiters hardly refilled my drinks.
Think their cheesecakes are definitely worth a go.

My friend & I were feeling a little hungry yet could not afford the time for a proper meal therefore we decided to get some food that can be eaten on-the-go.
Crystal Jade My bread sells a variety of chinese/Hong kong-styled bread as well as other types of pastries and cakes. For me, it's quite standard to get the bo lo bun. Heard that the char siew bo lo bun is good but I don't really like pork, so I had the plain bo lo bun instead. It's still good!
On top of that, we got a chocolate-custard pastry and a pumpkin glutinous cake to share. The pumpkin glutinous cake was nice. Tasted like muah chee, chewy and not too sweet. As for the chocolate-custard pastry, the custard end was nice but the chocolate was abit too thick & overwhelming.
Think I'll go back for other flavours of the glutinous cake. Want to try the black semame one!

Popped by the Siglap area for lunch one afternoon with my colleague and chanced upon Sushi Jiro while scouring the area for Japanese food.
Unpretentiously located along East Coast Road just before Siglap Centre, Sushi Jiro plays neighbour to the more illustrious Perle Noir, which incidentally, is never open for lunch. The decor is simple and you get to dine in private tatami rooms which can probably seat about 2-8 pax.
I've honestly not eaten enough Chawamushi to gauge whether Sushi Jiro's rendition was good, but I did like it for coming across as light on the palate. The addition of orange peel to the rather watery base was a nice touch as it introduced a slightly bitter dimension to the dish.
Wakadori Karaage - The chicken was nice and crispy but tasted like it had too much oil. Every bite brought forth a secretion of juices (oil water), which got me worrying for my health really.
Eihire - This dish piqued my curiosity quite a bit as I've never eaten stingray fins before. Lightly grilled, the fins were interesting but not something I would order again. It seemed rather salty for starters and when eaten with the mayonnaise, the flavours didn't seem to complement, to the extent of being weird.
Tempura Moriawase - Almost a staple regardless of which Japanese restaurant I patronise, the tempura batter was thin and light but a little too bland for my liking. I did like the prawns that came with it though, huge, fresh and sweet. The other stuff were rather average.
California Maki - I can't think of a better word than average to describe the California Maki. Rice was of the right texture but seemed a little too scattered. The only plus point was that it was covered with roe.
I would say that overall the meal was very average but the tatami rooms did make for a more private and enjoyable lunch. However, $58 for 2 pax might seem a little steep especially for the quality and quantity of food. That said, service is good and they have a rather novel system (at least in Singapore) of catching the wait staff's attention, which is to clap your hands.

I've been looking for good mala steamboat since the last on I had elsewhere was not so satisfying. Decided to give this restaurant a try since we see quite a crowd in there. Guess it'll be good. Haha....
The restaurant consists of 2 storeys, with the ground floor being non-airconed outdoor and upper floor airconed. The two floors are connected by a spiral staircase. Most of the food are placed on the ground floor. Therefore if you are sitting upstairs, you'll need to go up and down the spiral staircase. Just got to be more careful then.
Food wise, they serve both cooked food and uncooked ones for the steamboat. Cooked food were good although not a wide variety of them. Their uncooked meats are fresh as they sliced them on the spot but then you got to queue for them.
We ordered an yuan yang guo with herbal soup and mala soup. The herbal soup was good, but the mala one was average. Just not spicy enough for me.
As for the service, hmm...the waiters are friendly but not prompt enough to clear away our used plates. Half way through the dinner, there was even a blackout! Haha
Think this place deserve a 3.5 star bah.
