post bikram activity part 2.

i was searching for appropriate winter wear clothing for mama out in town.

no, taiwan is not cold. just the normal air con temperature. i am preparing winter wear in advance for my family trip to jiuzhaigou next yr. i dont think shops starting selling winter wear in September yet. there is a need to purchase new ones. cause mama sized up and clothing are not enough. LOL.

i shall spam in Taiwan. winter wears are so pretty!

a bared face full of imperfections. i hate scars. really. why still so many.


i was really famished after bikram class. hey, i burnt too much after each bikram class and that calls for happy food in my stomach. yes?

highly raved and recommended Dean and Deluca at Orchard Central, level 4.
if you haven been here before, kindly make your way there ASAP.
there is a reason behind all the hype. i finally know why.

they serve all day breakfast.
i opt for American country breakfast.

it comprises of Bacons, roasted tomato, 2 thick slices of multi-grain toast, scrambled eggs(!!!), sauteed mushrooms, sausage

the sausage was juicy, although i thought it was a tad salty. then again, sausages are meant to be salty. LOL.
throw the thoughts of the potential high blood pressure aside. HAHAH.

the scrambled eggs are TO.DIE.FOR.
i am not an egg person. truth is, i am survive without eggs. egg is not really part of my diet. thats how much i eat egg. if i buy a box of eggs to cook at home, chances are the eggs are kept all the way till the expiry date and then i throw away. LOL.

but the scrambled eggs are cooked to perfection. HAHAHA.
love the eggs.

egg lovers, pls head there soon.

v big portion. i suggest sharing of food to ensure good food doesnt go to waste.. HAHAHA.


my favourite cake; Carrot cake.


PS cafe sells really good carrot cake, cause its moist enough. i think the Dean and Deluca still cant really match PS cafe standard though! a little more moist to the cake's texture would have me gg back very often to feed my dessert craving after every meal. HAHAHAHA.

its XX's treat that day!! WOOHOO!


i am really happy to see food that afternoon. SO HUNGRY.


i am gg to be back for Salted Caramel Bananas and Berries! looks very tempting.
and i spot my red velvet cake!! OMG. i must try this!


all prices on the menu are inclusive of service charge and GST.

post bikram activity part one.

If you are reading this now, hello from Taiwan!

i scheduled this blog post in Singapore. LOL.

i always make it a pt to head out for good food after bikram class. afterall, i exercise to eat. HAHAHA.
and thats what life is all abt. (:

MGG Gemma blazer in lilac. i mentioned i wont buy it in lilac cause its likely to be a seasonal colour. but seriously  this blazer shade and cutting is too good to miss. i like mgg blazers, even though sometimes i think it doesnt justify the price. but i heart the mid arm sleeves length. appropriate for the Singapore's hot weather.

selling another piece of this MGG gemma blazer in lilac for my friend! lmk if anyone is interested! (:





off we go to kki cafe. its a little cafe situated at ann siang hill. everyone is raving abt this little cafe, i finally succumbed to temptation and followed the crowd and head there that afternoon.

actually ann siang hill has got alot of nice cakes. i shall try them the next time round.




read from somewhere that its the undisputed queen of cakes. cause the cakes are delicate and absolutely divine simple cakes. a truly feast for your eyes with the cakes they are offering in their little cafe. HAHAHA.

ever since he got his iphone 5, he cant survive without his phone now. LOL. seriously, i cant believe he can survive with his old nokia phone that long. everyone is alr moving forward to whatsapp, fb-ing on the go, while he is still at 2G, using SMS. HAHAHAHA.


and now, he is trying to deny the fact that he is slave to his phone after he finally discover why everyone cant survive with their phones now. LOL.


tired and slpy after the class. LOL.



there is a little drom store selling cute looking, unique out of the norm stuff cause they are all vintage. not cheap though!


if you wanna spend a quiet afternoon slipping tea, wasting time away, read your favourite book in a quiet place, pls head to kki cafe. HAHAHAHA.

this tiny little cafe is very cozy. and the owners are very friendly.
lovely place. lovely cakes. lovely ppl.
life simple pleasures.


i randomly said, lets take a photo of your nose hair!! he almost freaked out. HAHAHAH. i am so bored and sick. LOL.


i thought the tiramisu cake is mediocre. HAHAHA. maybe because i have eaten nicer ones. nothing special.



on the other hand, the mont blanc was to die for. ma chiam use a lot of effort to make the cakes. like a little christmas tree!


O.M.G
the outer layer swirl cream is made of chestnut and i swear this little cake is heavenly.
there are 4 layers of different textures/taste in it. sweet cream and soft sponge and a butter cake like base.

its a no wonder this is one of their best sellers.





the cakes are not cheap. but its still worth gg there for a try! at least try once for their mont blanc cake that impressed me!! perhaps there were too many raves for their cakes and the steep prices make us expect much more.  HAHAHA.

my post bikram welfare. HAHAHA. a massage, cause my back is aching. LOL.

Keisuke Tokyo Ramen at Millenia Walk

as i pen down this entry, i realised i ate the ramen 2 weeks ago. OH GOD. dont ask me where on earth did my time fly to, cause i have no idea. i blame it solely to my work. as always, i am tired and sleepy after work.

nvm, i don really like the ramen anyway!! so, its not worth mentioning it off first hand. HAHAHA.
and pui, this awful ramen was meant to be a treat for XX's commencement of work the coming Monday. 

its Fridays again! and Fridays are meant to roam around in town searching for good food. it is said to be truly the king of Japanese ramen broth.

but, i dont get all the raves abt this shop!!!! 0.O

there are two Keisuke shops in Singapore – Keisuke Tokyo Ramen at Millenia Walk and Keisuke Tonkotsu King at Orchid Hotel. apparently, the standards of the Millenia Walk branch pales in comparison with the tanjong pajar branch. pls pls, go to the tanjong pajar branch. LOL.

i shall head to tanjong pajar to try the legendary ramen where everyone claimed to be authentically delicious one day. until i tried it myself, else it will remain as a claim. afterall, the branch failed me terribly.

i have tried so many different ramen in Singapore throughout the yrs alr. i trust my own taste buds to determine which suits me best. LOL.

with severely overcooked pork bones, i thought i saw a pig in front of me. not my XX of course. but a real pink pig. oh god. sense the pain. for the first time in my life, i actually detest ramen with such strong pork after taste. LOL. it was too rich, too overwhelming, i thought it was sickening and puke inducing.

Copied this detail from a review:
1.Soup base : original, spicy and peppery
2.Taste of the soup : light, normal and strong
3.Chicken oil : less, normal and more
4.Noodle texture : soft, normal and hard
5.Prices : $10.80 to 15.80 depends on ingredients
6.Diner can opt out some ingredients like spring onion, black fungus and char siew
7.Soup and noodle can be refilled with $2 each
8.Marinated bean sprouts and boiled egg are free flow. (free boiled egg only apply to tanjong pajar branch)

this is free flow. which i don think its very nice. LOL.




no, i am not exaggerating. i didnt even order the strong taste soup. i ordered the normal taste soup. and it turned out to be a disaster. apparently, Japanese must really really like strong porky bone essence taste.

full of collagen.

look at how OPAQUE  the soup is. its opaque. i cannot see through. full of pork. pls imagine a pig there. HAHAHAHA. to me, its too thick, too flavourful, too milky, too salty.

nvm, the fragrance egg didnt managed beat my tampopo standard. this is fail egg. LOL. its not soft and flowly enough.

While I may have preferred the noodles and special char siew over at Marutama, and the tamago at Tampopo, soup base at the paragon ramen (i forgot the name of the shop!)

i am sorry to say but this is the worst of the lot. LOL. it painful eating this. waste my $$. T.T


this is the unique, unusual, non conventional crab based broth.
its so fishy, i see a fish there. i literally, almost puked. OH GOD. this is my worst ramen experience.

even sliced fish soup is not as fishy.


no, i swear i am not exaggerating.

nvm, i shall try the tanjong pajar branch, where everyone is raving.
no one rave abt the millenia branch.
that must be the reason why the restaurant is kind of empty on friday night.
or is it due to F1? no, i choose to believe its due to the sucky broth. LOL.






p/s: oh god at my tummy. T.T


 as usual, my friday will always end with sth sweet for my tastebuds.
simply because fridays are sweet.

with my favourite must order yuzu ice cream and a new flavour at tom platte, Asian tea.
i don like milky ice cream. (:






as sweet way to end XX's last friday nigth of being unemployed.

i shall end here.
enjoy the start of the week!

i shall head out for my run soon! the rain is getting smaller.
WEE!

Shopaholics unite; Outfits from FD/KJ.

on the labour day eve! shopaholics unite for korean loving! heh. (yingtian blogged abt it here!)
HAHA. our first meetup was in a korean restaurant.

so the second meetup will be at a restaurant too.
and we reached a consensus that the next korean restaurant will be either togi/2D1N.
until, we finished trying the nice korean restaurants in the CBD area. LOL.

it is always fun and enjoyable meeting up my girlfriends. say YEAH.
we laughed so much. its really amazing how clothes bring us together!!

HAHAHA. the nv ending topics on fashion and blogshops and gossips.
SO FUN.

life couldnt get any more awesome. head off to manna!!
and hooray, i know how to read simple korean words easily alr! Manna Korean Restaurant.

Telok Ayer Shop Houses, 101 Telok Ayer Street, Tel 6227 7425

the standard refillable side dishes.


i like the kimchi and the black beans. the pancake is quite good too!

kimchi makes me detox SUPER fast. i can do big business twice a day. LOL.

i will definitely order this dish whenever i visit manna. ask them to cook it for you. i have tried pork and chicken before. and its very nice!! (its lean meat pork, not the belly pork)

BBQ pork. its a tad salty. but it goes amazingly well with rice!
its the best out of the so many korean dishes i have tried islandwide.
 and i can confirm you will love this dish. LOL.



korean kimchi pancake. honestly i don understand why flour + kimchi need $16.
i might as well order 2 plates of BBq meat. LOL. so you all don order!


some korean meat stew w lotsa kimchi, tofu and pork belly. but personally, i think togi makes better spicy stew!! HAHA.


and then it was a mini reviewing time! MH, YT and valerie bought the LRH scallop blazer in white!
and i tried it on the spot. a tad small for my shoulders and the button feels like flying off when i attempted to button it!! HAHAHA.

its pure white; like your A4 printing paper.
and the lining is so comfortable! OMGOMGOMG.

blazers should be linedddddddddddddddddddd.

 

in the final group shot!
i look so fat after dinner. HAHAHA.

its TGIF today!!! made an impromptu decision to head town after work!
shopped for shoes and tie for XX's grad night before settling down for dinner at this new Japanese ramen restaurant at Raffles City shopping centre.

its very near to locate the restuarant! its right beside forever new.
and OMG! i step into forever new for the first time of my life, and i am shocked by the apparels the bring in! the awesomely, OMG-ly, gorgeous workmanship and quality of their clothes totally WOW me.

and the price tag too!! but it worth it. LOL. 

truth is, i didnt wanna go there. i start to think that ramen are a total waste of money. just boil the soup for hours, then dump noodles and vegetables and meat. LOL.

but xx is determined to bring me there tonight. HAHAHAA.
and we got a shocked of our life when there is at least 30 ppl in front of you in the queue. OMG.

-sense my immediate hunger-
god knows how long we queued before we finally managed to secure a table!

black ramen. (with a garlic taste)
the egg is not nice at all. FAIL. the soup is salty for my liking. ma chiam, OVER BOILED.
too rich, too flavourful. 


dry ramen with white base (taste slightly weird. the black based soup is nicer!) you add your ramen into the soup.


and guess what, there is free upsize for ramen for the dry versions. (not for the soupy versions though!) and we crazily upsized X3. (free up to X5 ramen!) and our noodles are filled to the brim. 0.o

i suggest you don be greedy and ask for X5 upsize. then risk vomiting right after dinner.
X3 is just nice.




my appetite increased so much, i finished my ramen and continue stealing his ramen and eat.
i probably ate 1.5 bowls today. HAHAHAHA.

-rub my stomach in glee-
its kind of amazing how much i eat. just one yr ago, i have difficulty even finishing my own bowl of ramen. LOL.

if you ask me whether i will ever go again a not.
i will go, when i am v v v hungry that night. free upsize ma.-auntie mentally-

both of us think that the black based soup is nicer though!

anyway, some outfits i tried on today! totally regretted not bringing my camera out! T.T using my chui phone to capture photos! T.T

TCL ENCHANTED FLORAL MAXI DRESS
you all should really get this. the prints are SOOOOOOO pretty! cant wait to receive it from jie! (:

the material is good too!! i don rmb it being sheer too!! trust me, its much nicer in real life!

 

Ohvola high society blouse. this top is so pretty! BUT, its best worn tucked in. lets see if i can hunt this down at a good deal! since its launched so long ago!

and the second attempt in trying crochet shorts. i am really too fat for it! ARGH.
 

Upcoming Megagamie eyelet dress in black, size M 

Verdict: get this! you all should really get this!
 the material is super thick and good! and it doesnt look as if it will fur. the only con i can think of is the collar doesnt look very lasting. HAHAHA. but crochet usually doesnt last long too?

it fits my perfectly at ptp and butt. slight loose at waist!! overall, i am determined to get this dress! (:

read from mega tweet that this dress comes in size S and M, in colours of off cream, wine, black.
 

and the eyelet details!

and the highly anticipated Upcoming Megagamie lace top in mint, size M. there are size S and M, colours in nude pink, mint and white. i prefer the nude pink pc more! its a very feminine top!

its meant to be worn loosely. there are a row of functional buttons at the back, but you need not unbotton them in order to wear it!

instinct tells me mama will probably like this!! i shall camp for her once she give me the green light that she likes this top once the preview is out!
 

this upcoming launch by Megagamie is absolutely detrimental to my wallet. XD
