I was walking around the fabulously large new wing of plaza singapura and found a farmiliar scent. Laline has opened its doors at the new wing of this iconic shopping mall. I was excited as I stepped into this classically designed outlet that somewhat makes one feel so clean.
The friendly staff offered me to try on some of their products and I liked it all. The scrubs especially were very moisturizing and the scent lingered for a long time. I love the way they generously offers you trial of almost all of their products and the retails were priced very reasonably. While reading the content, I spotted some really good stuffs such as chamomile extracts, olive oils, castor oils, etc.
I also liked the bath accessories available in the shop. They do have all sorts of bath brushes, bath related displays / storage and even bathrobes made in clean and beautiful designs. I appreciate their effort in bringing the wonderful range and bath culture of the middle east available for your own home indulgence.
I bought a few products:
1) Body Souffle Travel Size: S$13.90 in Ocean Ocean Flavour. I love the texture and the scent is extremely floral yet subtle and last for a long time
2) Creme De La Creme 200ml whipped body cream: S$29.90 in Cocktail Tropical flavour. I love the fact that body cream can be whipped like whip cream. They do also have the shower foam in whip cream. The concept is great, the smells lingered on. Beautiful scent however its abit sticky when applied yet it is quickly absorbed later.
3) Ocean Ocean Body Lotion 60ml travel size S$9.90: I love the ocean ocean scent and the body cream is much thinner and easier to apply on then the souffle. Great for after gym showers as the scent is mild yet long lasting.
4) Vanilla Body Lotion 60ml travel size S$9.90: It smelt more of coconut, which is not something i really like. It absorbs quickly into the skin and is a pleasant and soothing lotion to be applied. Coconut is actually very nourishing, except for its sweet scent, I'm not such a fan of this one.
Great service, you really get to try almost everything before you buy and the scent is really LONGLASTING.... Just hop in for a free trial which is both stress free and even if you don't buy anything, somehow they made me feel that they are so happy to give me a free trial. 5Stars for their excellent service. Before I forgot.. I got a free rose too... Its the valentine's day period and they give away these beautiful roses.. So what are you waiting for... Pop by today :)
So my advice is to go for a free trial and then smell the lingering scent on your hand for the whole day then you will be like me... You can't help but pop by to buy something every other day. Especially when there is a good promo going on... :) Have fun :)

Frozen yogurt has never been so sexy and I really love the way Frolick markets it... This outlet is particularly lovely as it is located near to the side entrance of the shopping mall with a separate gazebo seat. You also get to seat round the ice-cream parlor and decorated as though a joint popped-up in the sunny beach of Australia. Very sexy, lovely and fun to have your cup of yogurt here, in the middle of nowhere. The wooden folding tables and chairs with pieces of ropes acting as boundaries made it really beachy....
Though the suggestive taglines and A-Cup, B-Cup, C-Cup yogurt sizes are pretty lame... I recognize their efforts to be sexy, cheesy and flirtatious. However I would expect more choices of yogurt... They only serve the natural flavor and one other fruity flavor which is much to my dismay. The frozen yogurt is pretty icy as I would love a more creamy one however the choice of toppings I should say are pretty healthy, they have oats, cereal, fruits such as blueberries, raspberry and other low G.I stuffs.
Also on certain days of the week, you get the one for one or 50% off or other perks.. and students with a valid student card can get a good deal over weekdays...
If you would love a short chat, over a lean dessert at a sexy place... this is the place to go.. Guaranteed to be seen.. especially good for a bunch of raving girls... Pssst... the noisy corridor can camouflage your gal's crazy high pitched laughters and secrets that are spoken way too loud.... :)

Looking for an educational and Hip place for youngsters to hangout? Oschool is the exact place for youths itching for a good, young and energetic workout. Dance away the blues and gain a healthy, strong and flexible body.
I love *Scape, its a place bustling with activities especially during the weekends and while i browse till the 4th level, I came across some kids hanging and dancing away at the open space and next to it.. I see a glass room (Class room) with more people doing synchronised dancing with the hippest pop song. The class looked fun and I think its a great pass time for youths. While i enquired, the friendly staff gave me a good introductory on the kind of course available and the cost... which i find it kinda affordable... and so.. I will pass on these good news to all the Yebber readers as well as my nieces and nephews.
Fees:
For 1st Timers: $25 ($5 registration & $20 credited into your 0 School account
For open classes, per class fees:
Introductory: $12
Beginner: $14
Intermediate: $16
You may also wanna take up the dance courses which is priced at about $130 for 8 sessions..
Its affordable and a good place for youths to hang, mingle and have fun :)

The idea was to do a comparison between our long time favourite steak house, Morton's, and the relatively new entrant to Singapore's F&B scene, Ruth's Chris. And so one Saturday evening saw the both of us dropping by Ruth's Chris for dinner.
Located where Restaurant Bologna used to be at Marina Mandarin Singapore, the interior hasn't changed much since the days of Bologna - crisp table clothes coupled with leather backed seats and wooden panels adorned with art. The window seats offer you a view of a huge water feature wall and of course the warmth of natural sunlight (if you arrive early enough). This place is decidedly more "upclass" and stifling than Mortons, which I personally like for its casual, convivial atmosphere.To be fair, the place was pretty much empty save for another 2 tables besides ours. So that could be a contributing factor to the "over attention" from the wait staff.
Complimentary Bread - Just your regular soft baguette served warm, nothing like the onion loaf from Mortons. But still something decent to keep your hunger pangs at bay whilst you await your orders. Morton's 1, RC 0.
Sizzlin Blue Crab Cakes - A little dry on the outside but moist within, the crab cake was chock full of crab meat and topped with capsicum, which gave it a nice contrasting flavour and texture. Personally I thought it was nice just that the crab taste was a little lacking. I'll rate this as a tie with Morton's as I really liked the use of capsicum here. Morton's 1, RC 0.
Petit Filet Oscar Style - The petit filet was 210g, which was a decent size considering I ordered it "Oscar Style", which simply meant an addition of asparagus and a lump of crab cake smothered in Bearnaise sauce (all for a mere $15 extra). Now if only Morton's had such an option. That aside, the steak boasted tender, juicy meat that was a little crisp along the edges and well seasoned with salt. Very good! I'm gonna have to go with RC on this one as the filet marginally edges out the filet mignon from Morton's. And it definitely helps that RC has the option of an add on at a reasonable price. Morton's 1, RC 1.
Barbecued Shrimp - The BBQ shrimp were crunchy and decent sized but still a little smaller than what Morton's serves up (even after the downgrade in size). But what it lacks in size, it makes up in quantity (10 shrimps vs 6 from Morton's). The sauce reminds me of a creamy, garlicky concoction that has a mild burning sensation towards the end probably due to the copious amounts of garlic. In short, either you love it or you hate. And we loved it. But as Morton's Shrimp Alexander is vastly different, I am hard pressed to determine which dish has the edge. Morton's 1, RC 1.
Crème Brûlée - This is apparently a signature of Ruth's Chris. Though good, it wasn't anything I would go out of my way to order again. The vanilla bean custard base came across as creamily smooth whilst the caramel top was nicely and evenly torched. Portions are good for 2.
Warm Apple Crumb Tart - Huge, nicely sweet yet tart Granny Smith apple slices encrusted by a moist, fragrant tart shell and topped with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. Only minor gripes I had was that the tart was a little too soft for my liking and that the apple slices were a little too big for comfort. Having said that, this was still an excellent dessert and we preferred this over Morton's Upside Down Apple Pie. Morton's 1, RC 2.
Portions are a bit smaller at Ruth's Chris but prices are slightly cheaper, as compared to Morton's. Even so, dinner for the both of us (without any drinks) cost to the tune of $285. Food wise, based on the dishes we tried, Ruth's Chris has a slight edge. However, factor in the more casual, laid back ambience and service of Morton's and its a tie. But maybe you think otherwise?

This is my secret place for all my shopping stress busting sprees.... Its a super economical place to buy all your toiletries, snacks and everyday household stuffs. Though they also carry a good range of casual clothing and footwear at super economical prices but nothing gives me the adrenaline rush more than toiletries especially travel sized ones.
Neatly stacked with a range of everyday brands and non-everyday brands; I love the well placed items which I find it easy to browse and sometimes we never know what interesting things and super great deals we could find here. I once found a bundle of 3 bottles of Theramed toothpaste gel-kind for the price of 1.5 bottles I buy in watsons.... The travel sized shampoos, hair conditioners (particularly hard to find) and shower gels which is usually sold for at least S$2, you could get them here for S$1.50 or less. Also you can find some interesting products from reputable brands here that you can never find in a regular pharmacy or other shopping malls.
So I say, do take time and browse, the stuffs are super economically priced and the huge variety of everyday items, there is bound to have something to be brought home with you. Shop is not exactly BIG but the merchandises are many and of a great value.... i quote again.... SUPER GOOD VALUE..... pop by and you know what i mean....

If you are looking for quality skin care products with an economical price, this is the place to go. I walked pass this shop a couple of days ago and was simply overwhelmed by the beautiful yet clean image. Smiling faces and warm cheerful "Hellos" greeted me as I entered this beautiful shop. The "whiteness" and refreshing scent of the shop is very appealing to me as it gives me a sense of purity, cleanliness and somehow serenity.....
While I browse through the enchanting bottles of body scrubs decked in various colours and flavours, the friendly staff actually offered me an experience of this product that is enriched with dead sea minerals over at this very posh sink. She gently rubbed some lavender flavoured body scrub on the back on my hand and explained to me the product, after-which she washed it off and pat my hand dry with some tissue. The experience was great and my hand did feel rather smooth and moisturized without the sticky feeling like most scrubs will do to me. The scent was gentle and does not give me a headache. You must be curious why i say that... because the scent of lavender usually gives me a headache and only from a few prestige branded products that I do not get a headache from smelling them and I'm glad.. this lavender body scrub isn't one of them. I liked the after-math feeling of my skin and decided to buy a large bottle at S$29.90. Be sure to also purchase a small little wooden scoop which pairs really well with the clean small square bottle. While I smelt the other various flavors, I've also decided on a smaller 150ml Cherry Blossom body scrub which gives a sweet floral scent. I mean.. a girl needs a new scent for every mood, every activity and everytime she dresses up. Just be glad I didn't buy the entire 7 flavours.
They do also carry matching flavors lotions, creams, shower creams, mist, the entire complete range of body care and 2 items i find extremely interesting. The foam whipped body soap is a pressured bottle of liquid body soap that creates a thick and rich foam when pressed that is of a light and creamy texture that cleans very well. The body souffle is also mighty fantastic. This gently scented body cream that is very moisturizing yet does not gives a sticky after application experience comes in a neat flat bottle for easy carry around and no spills. I love the texture as I find it rich and creamy yet easy to apply and I was surprised by the quick absorption of the smooth cream on my skin. My skin did feel supple after application, as such I also got myself a travel sized of 50ml one for S$13.90.
They also do carry various bath accessories including bath towels and bath robes... A true bath experience accessories, scents and products. Its like bringing the entire MiddleEastern Bath experience right to the comfort of your home.
The price is great, product is fabulous, exotic scents such as vanilla and sandalwood available and most importantly, the helpful staff generously puts you through trials after trials.... I love the attitude and indeed a feel pampered just by visiting the shop, not to mention the beautiful packaging which I will elaborate in the next review.. So stay tuned...
Somebody did once tell me: 天下没有丑女人，只有懒女人。 :)

We visited KBox during the first week of the new year as we would like to start of this year with an out-blast of *non-coordinated* *heartfelt* *ear-bleeding* emotional declaration of love songs, kpop, jpop and Gong Xi Fa Chai Songs.... Yes.. Kbox do carry a wide variety of songs of various genre, language and artist from the international scene. What is most appalling is the songs our local Singaporean artiste sings. Matter of fact, if not for the interactive and easy to use Kbox computer song selection system, I would not have known that our local tv-serial stars did singing and you could sing their songs..
The outlet is at the second level of *Scape, if not the top level. It looked like a black/red hole with a counter. I am thrilled with the Kbox logo stuck to the ceiling, I thought its interesting but seriously, how many people do raise their heads to notice whats on the ceiling? Its not a big place and the rooms are small... We are sadly given this really small and oblong room to house 4 of us and the air-conditioning is really WARM.... Matter of fact, when we open the door to the outside we could feel the rush of cool wind into our room... While we kindly notified the staff, we were told that nothing could be done. While our group increased in size, we asked to change a room and the kind staff gladly agreed to let us, however this came with a PRICE.... which i will tell you later... The next room though slightly larger is also WARM... shortly as we inquired further.. the two rooms are sharing the same compressor unit... *FAINT*... yes.. laterally feeling faint...
Though the service is pretty friendly and the snacks are yummy, not all the gadgets in the room is working properly. I guess its about time for a total maintainance of the equipment must be made. Except for the song selection computer system, i should say the *applause / jeer / clap* functions which is very fun to me is NOT WORKING.... the wall control system is also not working and the microphone sometimes goes out of connection....
Now the price we are talking about... they allowed changing of rooms only when we had more people and just an additional of 2 person up us to the next catagory in which instead of just having to pay for the additional 2 person, we had also to pay for 2 additional snacks. Now the price of the snacks is the same as the price of 1pax... so its 4 pax in total. Not forgetting the room rental price and other misc. So it turned out to be pretty expensive and not the small promo amount they offer you. With the many separate charges here and there, i think its wiser to inquire on the phone or online first before you actually pop by.
This is a really small outlet and the rooms are small with no attached toilets. So if you are coming to this outlet, the sauna rooms are 503 and 505....

Indulge in a world of colorful Mexican music, flamenco and authentic rich and yummy snacks and mains...
I was there on a saturday night and this place is packed to the brim. I love the interior decoration of this place as I've always been a sucker for nicely decorated joints with matching theme and menu. Be greeted with beautiful tinted lightings and ceramic tiled tables and chairs. The air resounds party yet its audible for friends chit-chats with the occasional loud laughters that makes it even more relaxing.
Love their Signature frozen Margarita because its well mixed with a variety of flavors to choose from. We tried the assam flavoured which is pretty exotic and we don't get it anywhere else. Its very special and balanced as the extreme sourness of the assam tamed the bitter and spiteful tequila. I should say its one of the best Margaritas i've ever tasted. Especially served in these colourful and ruggedly gorgeous looking margarita cups made the entire experience even more interesting.
The food is yummy and interesting. Cheesy nachos is cheesilicious with a spite from the jalapano and the grilled chicken salad came in a edible bowl of crispy pastry. What is most surprising is the plate which matches the table design. I'm sure you will love it. Food is yummy and rich just like the way you have them in mexico, yet tamed to our asian taste buds. The portion I should say is good for sharing and you will surely love almost everything on the menu as I find it comprehensive with something agreeable for everyone.
I love the wall paintings as well, full of culture and gives the place a unique identity. Though being priced above average, i find it worth it to dine in a place with such interesting personality. Its a great place to visit with friends especially with big groups.
Be prepared to spend $30-60 per pax with signature Margarita in a group of 4.

If you are craving for some yummy home cooked japanese food, OOTOYA is the place to go. The restaurant looked simple with earthly coloured interior and i must say really low chairs and dining table. It gives me a feeling of dining in a small restaurant in the outskirts of tokyo. Very simple decorations and cutlery designs yet homely, warm and welcoming for me.
Food is delicious and simple... Choose from stirred fried meat and veg dishes to special appetizers like my favourite HIJIKINI.. which is a mixture of seaweed, toufoo skin and black soya bean. The soya bean is caramalized making the entire dish sweetish and the toufoo skin juicy. Not to mention the excellent health benefits of this low calories dish; how do i know of its calories??? Well they are all stated on the food menu. I am very surprised to see the estimated calories for each dish on the menu for all the selections in the menu including desserts, both for single dish order or complete with set. Also when you order the set, you get to choose a few types of rice combinations in a bowl, which included the Gokoku low calories, high fiber rice which is tediously chosen and carefully cooked, only exclusive to the restaurant. You can also choose 3 other types of flavours such as seaweed.
The service at this outlet is pretty good during my time of visit, however I am not sure of peak hours but... I love the open concept kitchen and the huge square table for mass shared sitting that faces the kitchen. Its extremely old jap feel however when you are here, you don't have to seat on your knees... Tables are pretty limited and they only admit customers with groups that have completely arrived. Reservations are also limited, so be early and on a weekend, prepare to queue for a little while.
I find having a meal here is pretty of a good value as the portion is not tiny and the price not gigantic. A rough ball park.. appetizers (S$3 - 6) drinks (S$1 - 5), Mains (S$18 - 35), Desserts (S$5 - 9).
They also do run some fantastic lunch time, high-tea and weekday dinner promos. So do watch out for the small little signs on the restaurant. And while you are there... don't miss the entrance as its small and so square... and low... you might mistaken it as being CLOSED.... if you can pop your head in.....

SASA is a great place to shop for all your skincare and fragrances. They are like a huge emporium for all you need to make yourself look good and smell good. This outlet i should say is much larger then any other outlets. I mean I have been to SASA so tiny and full of things... its like a one way street... One side IN and the other side OUT..
Spanning a great space, this particular outlet allows you to salsa inside. Well arranged with a wall of fragrances with many famous and big brands like ralph lauren, GioGio Armani, CK, Hugo as well as some exclusive brands that is only available in SASA outlets. I love it when they are running some promotions. These promotions could be so attractive that you can't just stop at buying one bottle of perfume. I should say they are also very generous with their testers as you could test on any fragrances you fancy and the helpful staff are always there to intro you the best selling and the best smelling fragrance. I find them knowledgable, helpful yet not intimidating.
If you are a lady, don't forget to browse through their extensive range of the cosmetics. They do have fanciful korean, japanese and taiwanese cosmetics with mascara so dramatic that you could look like a doll overnight.
Skincare range is fabulous too... though i feel that prices are pretty similar the departmental stores, however sometimes the promotions could be pretty attractive.
