Product Review: The Face Shop Real Nature Mask Mung Bean

I’m a big fan of The Face Shop’s mask sheets because they are made of natural ingredients, extracted from plants, fruits and herbs that we all know about. I have sensitive skin so I am extra cautious when it comes to choosing the right skincare products for myself. I have used Face Shop’s masks for […]

Sweet and Sour Pork Chops Recipe

The traditional 咕噜肉 (Cantonese style sweet & sour pork) consists of deep fried pork in a sweet & sour sauce and many restaurants here like to use pretty fatty pork so that the fats become crispy once fried and when you bite into them, oil just bursts in your mouth.

The first time I heard about Pizza Box was when I read some raving reviews from a fellow blogger (thanks again Sam for the recommendation!) last week. And the reviews came at a perfect time as I was also planning a day out to JB with my husband so it became an unanimous decision to […]

The legendary Samurai Burger is back at McDonald’s!

Since my previous post on McDonald’s Rendang Beef Burger which I wasn’t too impressed with 2 months ago, I have been wishing for the Samurai Burger to return and now my wait is finally over. Watch the TV commercial here: A boring commercial this time. I’d still prefer a jolly jingle like the one in the earlier […]

Irodori Japanese Restaurant @ Riverview Hotel, Havelock Road

I have been to a number of Japanese buffet restaurants and I must say this is one of my preferred ones because it serves my favourite mekajiki (swordfish) sashimi that comes in thick cuts and always taste fresh and sweet. I have had bad experiences where the sashimi served were either slightly frozen (not properly […]
