1-for-1 Omakase – Best deal in Singapore!

Restaurant: Maru, Icon Village, 12 Gopeng St #01-05 to 11, Singapore 078877 Date visited: April 2018 Omakase is usually reserved for special dates or events, because although they can be really mind-blowing, but they are usually pricey and served in small portions. I mean, they say that good things come in small packages right? Imagine how mind-blown we were when we tried this Chef’s Table menu which was delicious AND on a 1-for-1 deal? WHATTT! Okay, enough talk – here’s more about the menu (and plenty of pictures for you to drool over). Omakase Set Menu (1-for-1 @ $78++) *with complimentary 250ml of cold Sake 3 Kinds of Appetizer Fresh Oyster with Smoked Tomato Sherbet 5 Kinds of Assorted Sashimi Grilled Seasonal Item 2 Kinds of Raw Sushi 2 Kinds of Aburi Sushi Soup of the Day Dessert I really enjoyed the sashimi here! Most of my friends know that I don’t really…

15% OFF Sudio Tre for your #2018 Fitness Resolutions

Happy 2018 to everyone! Although I’m still super jetlagged from my recent 3-week trip to Europe, I decided to do up a quick post because… there’s a good deal to share! One of my 2018 resolutions (yes, don’t roll your eyes, we are going through the same sh*t every year) is to get fitter, or fit-ish again. Because I’ve been so blessed in 2017 with great food, great foodie friends and a lovely hubby to eat with, it was inevitable that I indulged a little too much. Plus, I got lazy. So yeah, this getting fit-ish goal of mine entails me trying to whip some discipline back into my life too! But let’s not digress from the main star of this post – SUDIO! I’ve previously done a post on Sudio’s Vasa Bla Wireless earphones, which are oh-so sleek and gorgeous (and which still accompanies me wherever I go). You can…

5 Taobao Links Every Budget Bride Should Know!

Wedding Date: September 2017 So I’ve just “graduated” from a successful wedding of my dreams in Bali, 16 September 2017 and I thought it would be nice to share some of my budget purchases. This blog post is NOT SPONSORED in any way (I wish though, Ezbuy or Taobao, sponsor me ya?) I was lucky enough to have a wedding planner based in Bali to settle all my logistics including decoration (more on the actual wedding planning process next time, for brides-to-be interested in holding a destination wedding), but there were still TONS on my end to do, and buy. Literally, it was never-ending. Although I wished I could say that budget was not a concern and splurge on Jimmy Choo shoes, diamonds and gorgeous things, I was also (a little) practical and didn’t have the unlimited credit limit to spend on things I would only use once. LUCKILY, there…

Evannsee x Sudio Sweden | 15% + 20% off!

Ever since I got my IPhone 7+ (without its precious audio jack), I’ve stopped listening to music on the go, which was something I did on a daily basis, and a LIFESAVER on longer journeys and flights. It became just too complicated for me – buying the audio adapter, losing the audio adapter (haha!), not being able to charge while listening using the audio adapter…. You get what I mean. So I can’t tell you how excited I was to be able to try out the VASA BLA wireless earphones from Sudio. Here’s my non-technical thoughts on them (sorry techies!) DESIGN First thought – whoa. It literally made my girly heart melt into a puddle. Flat-wired (no more tangles), sleek af and that colour combination of white and rose gold had the basic-b**** in me screaming. It also comes with a leather pouch to match! If you…

d’Good’s NEW Darn Good Durian & Coconut Skillet Pancakes (Must-Try)

Date visited: March 2017 Durian lovers, stop whatever you are doing and appreciate this for a moment. That’s right, d’Good Café has launched new menu items and one of it is this glorious Durian & Coconut Skillet Pancake ($13). Generous amount of D24 pure durian flesh (legit, guys!) with creamy vanilla ice cream and housemade coconut sables (crunchy bites) topped with palm sugar syrup. MMMMMM The hot skillet pancake goes extremely well with the creamy durian flesh and cold ice cream – together they are super creamy but light, with textures from the pancake and the sables. Conclusion: Must-Try. Even J, who doesn’t like durian grudgingly said it was not bad 😀 Score! Other new items to check out: Bonito Benedict ($14) If you are bored of the usual Eggs Benny and Eggs Benny Royale, here’s a new item for you to try. It’s Japanese inspired and reminds…

Taobao Hacks For Your ROM/Event + Some Tips!

Date: December 2016 It is almost a unique Singaporean culture that many couples hold their ROM Solemnisation some time before their fancier wedding celebrations… because of legal purposes. In order to complete housing procedures, most couples have to produce proof of marriage, which is the ROM cert. Like soooo many couples before me, that’s what I decided to do, especially since i had gotten a resale flat with a shorter turnaround time. (See my resale flat journey here) So with a short lead time and limited budget, I turned to Taobao for some help! Read on below for some tips and links! Why outdoors ceremony instead of at ROM itself? It is definitely cheaper to do it at ROM itself, unfortunately ours had to be on a weekend (ROM is closed) since many of our guests would not be able to take leave on the weekday. Also, my uncle was the solemniser,…

My Resale Home Journey Part 1

So I’ve recently embarked on this huge journey, and I just wanted to document it as I go along, as well as share my experiences and tips with whoever who might be thinking about it too! After all, it is a HUGE and scary af step for a Singaporean – lifelong debt, here I come! Why Resale? Of course, before any of these began, I always thought I would settle down at 26 in a nice BTO 4 or 5 room flat, in a nice place some day. Which girl wouldn’t like a big house in a nice place? After much discussion, we agreed to apply this year in May 2016. However, the BTO locations available were not that ideal for us. His parents stay at Pasir Ris, while mine at Dover – and staying somewhere like Punggol or Bukit Panjang would isolate us from the world, and make it…

5 Reasons To Get Your Salted Egg Yolk Fix @ Bread Society/BreadTalk

Like many others, I’ve been sampling many salted egg yolk dishes recently – what’s there not to love? Thick, creamy, sweet & salty – all in one bite. It’s so good, it literally goes with anything – waffles, ice cream, cakes, donuts, bread, crabs, veggies… you get my point. It’s such a big thing that salted egg yolk dishes are sprouting up everywhere, and people are rushing around to try each one (me included, guilty as charged!). We chanced upon The Bread Society today (ION, food basement) and was surprised to see signs promoting their salted egg yolk croissants, and we thought – why not? We bought a box of 6 for $5.50 and OH MY… I could gush about it all day, but to spare you from dying of boredom, here’s 5 reasons why you should drop by and get yourself some. Like now.
