Since my last shopping trip at Woodlands Terrace (read my earlier blog post Food Factory Outlet Shopping at Woodlands Terrace: Fassler Gourmet and Zac Meat & Poultry) where I also bought some spices and rubs from Zac Meat & Poultry, I had intended to come back again for its meats as I recalled the prices of […]

Woohoo! It’s always a joy to shop at Daiso so I can embrace a huge array of colourful and cute-looking kitchen tools and accessories that I just can’t have enough in my kitchen. The husband had recently commented that our house was looking a little cluttered, oops. Daiso really reminds me of the similar pound shops in […]

I’m truly envious of people residing in Tiong Bahru because it’s a charmingly quaint and tranquil estate filled with a wide selection of old time hawkers dishing up awesomely good local food. It also constantly renews itself with fresh elements, from the various hip cafes perfect to chill out in to the more underrated gems like this shop I’m recommending which is […]

Ever since my shopping trip to Fassler Gourmet (read my earlier blog post Food Factory Outlet Shopping at Woodlands Terrace: Fassler Gourmet) earlier this year when I lugged home a bountiful supply of salmon that lasted us some good couple of months, the husband and I returned again to replenish our inventory as well as to check out Zac […]

Finally arrived! I had placed my order in early December last year but due to the peak festive season, shipping was quite slow this time which was inevitable. I received my items in 3 separate boxes at different times over Christmas to the new year. Despite the holiday delay, everything came in good condition and […]

Last month, I received a Mayer brand Dolce Cake Maker from OpenRice Singapore (a local online dining guide) for Christmas but there was a problem with the set so I got it exchanged at ToTT over the weekend and also had a good time exploring the store at the same time since it was my […]

The last stop of our food factory outlet shopping tour ended at CS Tay which is a manufacturer and distributor of frozen foods in Singapore. I’m sure some of you might be familiar with Japanese Crispy Chicken (karaage) that comes in original and seaweed flavours. In fact, you can easily find them in supermarkets here […]

After spending a frosty hour at Fassler (read Part 1 of this post here) getting our salmon and seafood essentials, godma and I headed further down the road to Foodedge Gourmet where a free food sampling was happening at Melvados. Melvados provides convenient solutions for meals with frozen items like soups, gourmet breads, cooked meats, […]

Latest update (22.12.2014): Fassler’s new retail outlet at Tiong Bahru is now open! Check out my post here. I was unlucky to have torn a ligament on my right foot earlier and my doctor had suggested that I consume more salmon to speed up the healing process hence this spurred my decision to visit the […]

It’s shopping time again! Here’s a glimpse of my Daiso shopping haul accumulated over two trips… When I picked up this pretty floral clothes hanger, an auntie (probably in her 50s) who was just standing near me, suddenly grabbed my hanger and suggested that I buy velvet hangers from Qoo10 as they are ‘non-slip and […]

If you’re into cooking and baking like me or you’re in the food business in Singapore, then Sia Huat is a place not to be missed. It is the leading choice of suppliers for many hospitality establishments and it boasts a large array of tableware, kitchenware, food service products and equipment. Its retail outlet at […]

A glimpse of my Daiso shopping haul this weekend! Here’s what I spotted in the store this time: Items 1. Baking sieve for sifting all the dry ingredients such as flour, baking powder, etc to remove any lumps or bugs 2. Cake decorator to create patterned designs on the sides of creamed/frosted cakes 3. Metal spatula […]

I’m normally very sensitive to environmental allergens like dust, animal dander, mold or smoke that can trigger really bad symptoms of blocked nose, running nose, sneezing and even dry coughing for days or weeks. Especially during the haze period some weeks back that greatly affected the whole of Singapore, these symptoms of mine came back […]

Before we engaged our Interior Designer, we were deciding between getting a contractor or ID to renovate our house. We understood that as an ID, the overall renovation cost would be higher than standard contractors to cover additional work of generating visuals, going onsite daily to check on progress, do quality checks of works, act […]

My husband and I started hunting for a flat last year. And we were lucky enough to shortlist one particular house on the first day of viewing with our agent. It was a 33-year-old 5-room flat in Ang Mo Kio, just opposite my parents’ block. Being such an old flat with first generation fittings, there […]
