Exquisite Traditional Indian Cuisine @ Tandoor, Holiday Inn Orchard City Centre
Author: Alexius Chua If you are in the mood for something fancy and Northern Indian, head to Tandoor, a restaurant synonymous with authentic traditional Indian cuisine at Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre. The premise is beautifully decorated with a contemporary vibe, right at the very end a floor-to-ceiling see-through kitchen window so you can see the chef prepare your food. We had the non-vegetarian set menu, which is all beautifully presented and taste as appealing as it looks, worthy of the Singapore’s most awarded Indian restaurant namesake. This only gives me wonder how the vegetarian set menu looks like, only if I have two stomachs! The first dish is…

Indulge bountiful feasts at The Carvery @ Park Hotel Alexandra
Author: Alexius Chua If you want to pig out, you can consider doing so at The Carvery, Park Hotel Alexandra. This popular buffet restaurant celebrates the lunar new year with an abundant array of mouth-watering meats, seafood, sweets and treats that are worth every calorie. There’s also a chance to win a weekend stay at the hotel! I like my yusheng to have bursts of citrusy sweetness – bonus if its healthy – instead of being blanketed in sugar. The Carvery Golden Eight Treasure Yusheng with Cured Trout and Abalone ($68+) suits my palate perfectly. The combination of shredded vegetables, candied walnuts, fruits and generous topping of cured trout and…

New Year New Skin Clarity – Removing Acne Scars the Painless Way with Secret RF
Author: Alexius Chua Pimples come and go, but acne scars are like permanent marks on the face. You don’t need a close inspection to notice the acne scars on my cheeks and forehead, the contours look just like the uneven sand playground my nephews love to play at. Blame it on my reckless teenage years when I didn’t follow through the proper skincare routine and squeeze the pimples incessantly without thinking of the consequence 🙁 This affects my confidence and made me quite a reserved person. Okai perhaps its because of personality but my skin condition plays a part of it too. 1 month after treatment, the scars has pretty…

Feed Clean Feed Nutro – Roro’s Transformation Journey
My little baby seal doggo is not a fussy eater and I really appreciate this part of him. He finishes whatever we give him even if he does not like the food. You can tell how much he loves the food from the speed he eats. I’ll be honest. I do not feed him every Tom, Dick & Harry brand I come across. I am a fussy fur-mom and I try to give him the best I can. Sometimes, my friends around me commented that I am overly protective. My little boy was born with skin problems so I tend to opt for kibbles that will give him a soft,…

Review: Linksys Velop Wifi Router Extends Wifi All the Way to My Bedroom
James and I signed up for a WiFi Broadband four months back when we got our keys and we were given a free router for the plan we signed up for. We did not think too much of it and installed the free router at home. Everything was good until……. UNTIL I COULD NOT GET ANY WIFI CONNECTION IN THE BEDROOM! I love browsing YouTube and Instagram before I sleep but it is impossible to do so when I started having issues with the connectivity. Sometimes there is some weak connection in the room, but on most days, the connection can’t seem to reach my bedroom at all.. Long story…

YUN NANS (云海肴) opens its second outlet @ Westgate in style
Author: Alexius Chua The largest Yunan F&B chain in the world just opened its 2nd outlet at Westgate, months after its flagship store at Jewel Changi Airport. Serving the local gourmands with its repertoire of highland cuisine (gao yuan liao li), the offering is a mixed bag of deliciousness with subdued stylishness, which I fancy very much. What’s different from its flagship store is this exclusive dish – Crispy Hor Fun with Truffle Prawn Broth ($15.90++). Only available at Westgate, the hor fun boasts a delightful interplay of texture of crunchiness and springiness with every bite. Topped with Yunan truffle shavings, when poured with the prawn broth is enough to…

Stay Secured With A Pet Insurance in Singapore
Do you know how important Roro is to me? What if I told you that I only wanted a hotel that allows me to bring Roro in, otherwise, I am going with other hotels? What if I told you that I only feed Roro nothing but the best of the best from his birth till he reached adulthood even though I was only a student at that point in time? To even say that he is very important is an understatement. Roro is EXTREMELY important to me. He is family. When I was in the UK for 5 weeks many years ago, I love how they can bring their furkid…
