[Food Review] Burp Kitchen and Bar

Burp Kitchen and Bar is a lovely cafe nestled in the east of Singapore overlooking the lush greens of Bedok Reservoir! Was really delighted that another great cafe serving great food is found in the east :)

Besides a nice selection of craft beers, Burp Kitchen also serves some very innovative cocktails. We tried the Tiramisu Cocktail which is a mix of espresso, Kahlua, Baileys and chococolate syrup and also the Lychee Caprioska consisting of vodka, lychee liquor, lychee and lime. 

Salted Egg Tofu Fries!!! When this was served, we couldn't help but be impressed by the very yummy presentation. Made of tofu strips and drizzled with their home made salted egg sauce, these 2 complemented each other really well. Using tofu for this dish is definitely a healthier choice and we happily indulged in this without much guilt. 

Beef Bulgogi Tacos were served next. A nice fusion of Korean and Mexican that made us go 'WOW' upon the very first bite because the beef was so juicy and tender!!! Highly recommend this dish!

Burp's Beef Burger with thick and juicy beef patty and a nicely fried egg on top. This burger was pretty decent and satisfying sandwiched between two fluffy buns.

Crabby Patty Burger, another star dish here at Burp. An entire softshell crab fried to golden, crispy perfection drizzled in salted egg sauce served with squid ink buns!!! Awesome combination that would never go wrong. Nothing seems to go wrong with salted egg sauce.

Thermage Skin Tightening at Tiffiny Yang Aesthetics

My visit to Tiffiny Yang's clinic brought about a lovely surprise! They have expanded and revamped. Place is so much bigger, more posh and painted in hues of their signature Tiffiny turquoise colour. The nurses are donned in girly, sweet uniforms too! What a lovely sight!

Approximately one month ago, I visited Tiffiny Yang's clinic for my thermage skin tightening, face slimming treatment! I was absolutely excited before and during the treatment because Thermage uses medical grade radiofrequency skin tightening, resulting in a slimmer, more defined jawline and it actually complements botox. Read on for more details and pictures.

What is Thermage?

Thermage is a safe, non-invasive procedure that is clinically proven to help smooth, tighten and contour skin for an overall younger looking appearance. The treatment delivers natural looking results with little to no downtime – on all skin colours, on and off the face, all in a single procedure. Since there is no surgery involved you can generally return to normal activities immediately following the procedure. It has been approved by the FDA since 2002 and available only in the doctor’s office. The latest Thermage procedure offers Comfort Pulse Technology, significantly improving treatment comfort. It works on all skin types.

[Food Review] First 25 Cafe

A new cafe opens in the neighbourhood of Tanjong Pagar. Along Hoe Chiang Road is a cafe serving Asian-Western dishes with a twist!

I was very attracted to the interior decor of the cafe which is very posh and immediately teleported me to some part of Europe where tiles are bricked in white and large, majestic gold mirrors hung on the walls.

[Product Review] GP Batteries Powerbank

Most of us would know by now that carrying a portable powerbank with us to charge our phones and gadgets is very important especially when we are outside our homes or offices. As for me, I'm always using the phone wherever I am, be it whatsapp, taking pics, finding my way with the GPS, checking emails and Facebook and the list goes on. A powerbank has now always been a necessity in my bag. Finding the best powerbank for our mobile gadget sounds so complicated since there are many brands, types, and models. 

I am glad that I was introduced to GP Batteries a week ago and given the chance to try their powerbank.

GP Batteries International Limited has been listed on the Main board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited since 1991. The Group is principally engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of batteries and battery-related products.

The sleek and chic design in silver totally entices me, looks so simple, yet elegant and stylish. Comes with an instruction manual as well as a micro USB charging cable.

Presenting to you GP Power Bank FP05 (5000mAh) Isn't it pretty? But of course, more importantly is how it functions than how it looks.

[Food Review] Old Boys Gallery

Amidst the rows of pubs at Kampong Bahru is Old Boys Gallery, previously an art gallery now with an additional element of bistro opened by three friends who wanted a place for people to chill out and enjoy over delectable food and wide variety of craft beers.

[Food Review] Xin Hao Ramen

 Xin Hao Ramen opened its doors at Bugis Cube recently and it serves ramen with a local twist. Expect a decent bowl of hot, piping ramen without the normal Japanese bamboo shoots and chashu.

Ordering method is rather unique (in fact, I think I've used this ordering method in Japan before). Firstly, choose the type of ramen you want to have (salted, miso, shoyu, spicy) and bring the respective tag to the counter to order. Add ons of grilled meat, hanjuku egg, noodles and fried enoki are also available.

[Recipes] Curry Chicken using Toast Box Ready-to-cook Paste

In Celebration of Singapore’s 50th Birthday #SG50, Toast Box launches its new product offering Asian Delight Ready-to-Cook Pastes featuring Curry Chicken, Laksa, Mee Siam and Mee Rebus. 

These pastes come in so handy for a fuss free, quick meal! Step by step instructions can be found at the back of the packets, making it very user friendly and suitable even for beginner cooks! And the good thing I really like about this pack is that one box consists of 4 different kinds of paste and this enables me to whip up a variety of meals! 

The Ready-to-Cook pastes are retailing for S$6.50 per pack except Mee Rebus which is priced at S$6.80.

[Food Review] Izakaya 95

Nestled on the 2nd level of The Punggol Settlement, Izakaya 95 is a great new discovery with a menu of Japanese small-plate dining and yakitori. Together with these comes with great booze, a great selection of good sakes, sochus and beer. 

1 Point V-Face and CHEEK FILLERS!

It has been approximately 10 months since I last did my first chin fillers and botox to achieve a V-shaped, smaller and sharper face. For more information, please click here to read my full and informative review: One point chin filllers and botox (1) and One point chin fillers and botox (2)

A few weeks ago, I visited Dr. Tiffiny Yang Aesthetics & Surgery to have my chin fillers and botox topped up. This clinic gave me such a warm and fuzzy feeling as the nurses were so friendly and caring and of course, Dr Tiffiny was so affectionate and gentle as well as knowledgable it feels so comfortable to be here and I feel so safe because I can totally trust Dr. Tiffiny (which is a very important factor when choosing doctors)

\

The same procedures follow, application of numbing cream for apprxoinately 20 minutes before the injections begin. Once again, the injections were  very bearable, just like ant bites and they were over in a few minutes! Super fast process! 

Immediate effect after chin fillers, my chin is back again! From the side, you can tell that it is sharper and slightly more protruding giving my face a nice contour.

Lush Aesthetics- Thermal Lift Skin Tightening

Few weeks ago, I was invited to try out some of the signature treatments from Lush Aesthetics. I chose their Thermal Life for face as I wanted a more V-shape face because my botox was wearing out, I could feel it as my face looks chubbier recently. And so, this treatment came in at the perfect time!

[Food Review] Yum Cha Express- PROMO CODE INSIDE!!!

I always have weekly house parties where we would hang around with friends and order deliveries back home. These deliveries are quite limited, most of the time it's MacDonald's or Pizzahut, perhaps Dominos at times and it gets quite boring having fast food week after week.

Now, I'm so glad to share that Yum Cha delivers their piping hot DIM SUM right to your doorsteps!!!

[Food Review] East Manhatten Bakery Cafe

[Food Review] Bella Pasta

Bella Pasta, along with Bella Pizza next door were established by an Italian by the name of Antonio Manetto 7 years ago after managing Da Paolo Chain and having perfecting the pizza recipe back in Italy! Food is served with simplcity yet, well balanced and authentic without much modifications.

Love the tastefully decorated interior which embraces warm materials like wooden tables, chairs, bar counter and stools alongside with cobblestone flooring. Makes me feel like i'm dining right on the streets of Rome!
