Happy Birthday Skincare Review
How about looking a year younger every birthday? This could be a dream come true with Happy Birthday Skincare Time Machine and Time Essence. Each box comes with one Time Machine and 2 bottles of Time Essence. Time Essence uses cutting edge science and a property blend which work together with your skin to bring you good skin days. What I really love about their essence is how quickly it gets absorbed into the skin. There is no sticky or oily residue and I always wake up to glowing and supple skin the next morning. The essence is said to promote skin elasticity, brightness, evenness, and youthfulness while diminishing all…

Review: Asian Skin Solutions Hydrocare Water Boost Treatment @ $38
I love doing facials because my skin feels extremely smooth and clean after that. I put on sunscreen and makeup daily so oil, dirt and makeup tends to get stuck in my pores even if I double cleanse my face every morning and night. I visited Asian Skin Solutions at Paya Lebar Square this week for a Hydrocare Water Boost Treatment because my skin is very dry. They started the treatment with an in-depth skin analysis and true enough, the results showed that my skin is extremely dry. The entire facial took about 90 minutes with the following steps: Deep cleansing Application of softener Steaming Extraction Hydro Micro Abrasion Facial and shoulder…

Review: Borsch Med100% Lingzhi
I take quite a few supplements such as Vitamin C, multivitamins, Evening Primrose Oil and some others on a daily basis. One of the latest addition to my supplement intake is Borsch Med 100% Lingzhi. Actually, I have been taking this for more than 6 months already so I wouldn’t count it as latest! Haha.

Author: Alexius Chua Here’s an a la carte buffet with the prettiest presentation we’ve seen. Window on the Park @ Holiday Inn Orchard City Centre has recently introduced the Halal Weekend Dinner Ala-carte Buffet, perfect for date nights or double dates. And of course, safe distancing and measures must be practised during dining (not more than 5 guests per table).

You can also keep ordering till your stomach desires without needing to queue for the buffet spread. Starting with the appetizer, with an assortment of sushi, 3…

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…

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…
