Kushikatsu Tanaka First Asian Debut in Singapore
Author: Alex Chua Regular izakaya patrons here would be elated to hear that Kushikatsu Tanaka, Japan’s No.1 Kushikatsu Chain, is opening its first Asian outlet in Singapore. Boasting over 165 outlets in Japan alone, this Japanese bar has brought its famous Osaka-style fried cutlet skewers and signature special dipping sauce to the little red dot’s clubbing district – Clarke Quay. It would be a fierce fight among other izakaya and Japanese restaurants in this prime area, but Kushikatsu Tanaka is least afraid of competition. Here’s 3 reasons I feel why this izakaya can not only survive but strive against other establishments. 1) The Signature Golden Kushikatsu From beef, prawn, asparagus,…

Just look at the frozen sea below! My purpose for visiting Seoul again this year was for The Face Shop! The Face…

Grilling Meat in the Heartlands
Author: Alex Chua Different Wood, Different Taste Nobody expects a custom-made griller in Hougang One, the heartlands of heartlands. The least of all me, who lived in approximate walking distance to the two-level mall since young. Here, at Meat Market, various cuts of meat sizzle and crackle atop blazing fire. One quick glance from the open kitchen window you can see beef ribs, chicken thighs, pork chops, sausages and prawns sat neatly in rows. For this month, lychee wood – a wood famous for smoking Peking duck, is used as the fire source. Come January, it could be apple wood – smoky with hints of fruity sweetness, or oak wood…

Reflections on 2017
So many things happened this year and as usual, change is the only constant (k). There were a lot of ups and downs this year but thankfully, there were more happy moments than bad ones. One of the biggest change is probably my status, going from attached to engaged. You can watch the video below if you haven’t: They say that a girl can get all insecure after the proposal / marriage planning and that is certainly true. I have seen so many cases of separation and they kind of bring down my confidence in marriage a little. I guess all I can do is to believe in my other…

No more clogged pores with Annabelle Skin – Dr.Belter Cosmetic
I realized that my skin condition is getting from bad to worse after 3 consecutive months of traveling – 7-8 days a month. It got really bad when I spent 8 full days in China and we know how dirty and polluted the air can get there! It was really not surprising when I started to experience breakouts on the forehead of my face. And as soon as I got back from my last trip, I made an appointment with Annabelle Skin, located at The Adelphi for a thorough cleansing. As usual, I did a skin check to determine what kind of treatment would be suitable for me. I kid…
