Teeth Whitening at La Vie Aesthetics
Just a few days before Chinese New Year, I went to make an appointment for teeth whitening at La Vie Aesthetics located at 277 Orchard Road, #04-08 Orchard Gateway, 238858. I really really love the results as my teeth got 6 shades whiter after a single session of 2x LED Light Whitening within 30 minutes. I love it so much so that I have already decided to head back for my second session in April or May because I want a set of pearlie white teeth for my big day in June! Let me share with you what the treatment consists of. Firstly, a consultation will be done with you…

Author: Sandra Koh Since its birth 4 years ago, Beauty in The Pot has never failed to tantalise our palates and vanity souls with its delicious and beauty-enhancing soup broths (yes, we couldn’t resist its collagen broth). Despite the sprouting of various hotpot competitors, the brand does not lose its shine and continues to charm us with the opening of its largest outlet at One KM Mall.

Dine and Chill with Flaming Beef Bowl at The Butcher’s Kitchen
Author: Alex Chua The Butcher’s Kitchen, one of the largest butcher retailers in Singapore with over 15 years of history, has launched Singapore’s first-ever Flaming Hokkaido Beef Bowl (U.P. S$23.90). Lauded as first-of-its-kind and doused with a Flaming cognac concoction for a culinary spectacle, contrarians would surmise that it is more sizzle than substance. But don’t just take my words, take it from the beef connoisseurs and gourmands and they are raving for it. The reason? The meat’s origin – Hokkaido. Why Hokkaido? The island’s fairly low temperatures throughout the season allows the beef cattle to develop more fats naturally. Coupled with the fresh clean air, water and high-quality natural…

SCS Butter Blind Taste Test – Pineapple Tarts
Honestly, I have been eating pineapple tarts from SCS for the fourth consecutive year and I even handmade a few bottles at their event 3 years ago and last year! Look how much we have grown with the brand.. This year, instead of making pineapple tarts with the brand, I was invited for a blind taste test. The results confirmed my choice of butter – SCS Butter. My favourite pineapple tarts from the blind test were made with SCS Butter instead of the other 2. In all honesty, I had no idea the one I like was made with SCS Butter. When asked to describe the taste and texture, I…

Autho: Sandra Koh Before we realise, we are only less than a month away from the gou (狗) den Chinese New Year.

Dynastic Treats at Myo Restobar
Think Chinese dining, and Cantonese cuisines like dim sum in a traditional Chinese-style environment immediately springs to mind. Myo Restobar, which specializes in Cantonese dishes, is hoping to change all that. With over 40 years of Kia Hiang’s heritage and legacy, the sister restaurant Myo Restobar began a little more than a month ago on the 19th floor at Oxley Tower, creating a cosmopolitan oasis in a stately office building. Boasting a scenic view of the bustling Robinson Road, the contemporary setting doesn’t really scream conventional Chinese dining experience. Instead, the restaurant focuses on uplifting and modernizing the dining experience, while keeping the price affordable. Not an easy feat considering…
