To allow mom more siesta time, the LG Styler (RRP at $2,999) takes time-consuming ironing out of mom’s hands by steaming, sanitizing and refreshing clothes all with the simple touch of a button of the preferred mode.

[Event Invite] The History of Whoo (Beauty)

In March, i got invited to another event about Time. It was on beauty - the power of skin regeneration by luxury brand The History of Whoo from South Korea introduced in 2003. Thank you Her World Beauty Club for the extended invitation!! =)

The event featured the brand's Bichup Line of regenerative range!


Refreshments were served.


"The concept and philosophy of The History of Whoo: Reinterpret the beauty secrets of the Korean and Chinese royal courts with oriental medicinal methodologies and modern science, to create holistic skincare that fixes problem by targeting the core issues - enabling skin cells to self-heal and self-regenerate."




Bichup Ja Saeng Essence won the best beauty buys 2016 award by Women's Weekly. This serum contains Cho Jahabidan, a lab-produced plant placenta derivative that helps skin identify its weaknesses and encourages cells to start self healing. It also supplies skin with antibodies and nutrients for repair!





I was given a set home to try which includes;
1. Bichup Soon Hwan Essence (a serum that provides essential nutrients to skin and aids nutrient absorption from subsequent skincare),
2. Bichup Ja Saeng Essence, and
3. Bichup Ja Yoon cream (a multi-tasking moisturiser that gives ageing skin cells an energy boost, improves skin cell turnover, reduces free radical damage, and ups cell regeneration and skin's internal glow).

I'm in love with the products as soon as i started using them! The formula smells pleasant too! =)


Lunch was then settled with Jon at Brunches Cafe (http://brunches.sg/), as suggested by him. Nice ambience and comfort food there! =)





Creamy Carbonara with Bacon (S$14.50)..


Brunches Fiery Aglio Olio with Shrimp (S$16.50)..

[Food Tasting] Miam Miam 4 Super Pay-It-Forward Deals for Students and Seniors Citizens

Ongoing from 18th April 2016, Miam Miam, a French-Japanese casual café kitchen, introduces new promotion that will benefit students and seniors aged 60 and above and is available on weekdays, Mondays to Fridays!

Students and seniors aged 60 and above can enjoy meals under the 4 super deals choices with free flow of freshly brewed iced tea at $7.90++ and $8.90++!! We love how well cooked their Pasta is and LOVE LOVE LOVE their Iced tea a lot too!!


*The Mondays to Sundays promotion is only available in Miam Miam's Tampines 1 outlet.


"We have received a lot of enquiries from students who crave for Japanese and French cuisines but often find the offerings priced beyond their reach. As such, we have decided to come up with an initiative that suits their pocket affordability and delivers our quality French Japanese cuisines. As a Singapore company, we also want to thank our senior citizens for their contributions in building the nation. Hence, we are inviting them to Miam Miam to enjoy this 4 super deal choices", says Mulvis, Marketing spokesperson of Miam Miam Singapore.


Chicken and Sausage Alfredo (S$7.90++)
Pan seared chicken breast with frankfurters tossed with basil pesto soused in Philadelphia cream cheese for the rich and thick cheesy cream sauce. For cheese lovers, this is a Must try!

A well-balanced dish, not overwhelmed with too much cheese or cream sauce. I also like how the chicken slices are porportionally cut. Students will surely fall in love with this Pasta choice!



Bolo Beef Meatball (S$8.90++)
The classic Bolognese is studded with tasty, homemade beef meatballs! An onsen egg sits on the bed of al dente ribbons of pasta, and demands to be poked. Grated cheddar cheese finishes off the dish.

This dish does have that classic Bolognese taste but topping it off with perfect onsen egg and cheddar cheese makes it kind of special. Besides, where else can we find similar dish with such affordable price right?!



Country Chicken Pasta (S$7.90++)
This garlic-infused pasta prepared in aglio olio style comes with perfectly pan seared chicken breast for tenderness tossed with a medley of zucchini, carrots and shimeji mushrooms and spike with chilli flakes for a mild spicy kick.

All the goodness in a plate, a refreshing and comforting dish with beautiful colours presentation packed with delicious vegetables! For a person who can't take spicy food, the level of spiciness this dish offers was just right for me.




Seafood Arrabbiata (S$8.90++)
Enjoy an enticing plate that stars sautéed prawns, clams and squid. Flavours of the sea, all immersed in a hearty homemade Pomodoro sauce.

Pomodoro sauce is one of my favourites. The added mixture of seafood enhances the flavour of this dish even better. Seafood lovers can go for this!



The 4 special Add-ons for Pay-It-Forward Set:

For a good start, the piquant and aromatic Garlic Bread (S$1.80) goes well with the comforting soup of the day (S$2.20).

Patrons can then end their meals with Premium Softee (Vanilla S$1.20 / Match S$1.50) or Cookies & Cream Ice Cream (S$2.50)! Their Softee is yummy!!!
