Aone Claypot House

Sponsored

We are both “westerners” and by that i mean we both stay in the west areas. As such, we always fall short of exploring things at the east side of the island. This time around, we decided to explore the new Kallang wave mall which brings me to one of the more outstanding restaurants residing within it: Aone Claypot House ! Here, we put their dishes to a test and see if it does live up to its repuration and score an A1 in our food-“Testing”!

Here are the two eager & hungry “invigilators”:

 

Kickstarted with their porridge with century egg and lean meat. I enjoyed having this dish very much because of the quality of the porridge. It was palatable and have a smooth texture. To achieve this, it is obvious they took time to cook the grains. Hence, I appreciated this fact that they focused on the quality of the food despite the long queue outside the shop.

 

Not only so, the portion of ingredients given such as the lean meat and century eggs were very generous. Hence, don underestimate this seemingly small pot here; it could easily feed a table of 3-4 men.

 

Next is the grand line-up. Why i call it grand is because of the atas name of this next dish: “Four Heavenly Kings (四大天皇)”. With such a name, there is simply no way we could have missed that out right!

So here you have it!

Basically, it comprised of deep fried fish, long beans, french beans and brinjal cooked in sambal. Both of us loved this dish and I must say it served as the perfect pairing with any porridge dishes!

 

Not just the quality of the food, we were also pretty impressed with the outlook of their dishes. Take for instance, their Minced meat wrapped in Fish Maw with brocolli.

 

The omelette was cooked with pork floss. What a unique way! A combination of savory and sweet.

 

To balance up the meal, we ordered a fish dish: Fried Cod fish!

A-one did not disappoint on the quality of this dish as well. This mouth-watering dish was not too saltish making it a very elderly-friendly dish. Furthermore, the fish meat melted upon touching my tongue. If I had to rack my mind to complain about this one, it is just the portion could have been bigger!

But to be fair, it was shared among 5-6 people on that day. I almost couldn’t resist calling another serving!

 

 

 

 

Fried Fish in Salted Egg sauce. Yumzzzz…

 

Herbal Chicken which left all of us wanting for more! The meat were thoroughly soaked with the taste of herbs. Most families would certainly love this for sure.

 

In short, we were both very satisfied with the quality of the food they served! They have indeed surpassed our expectation of the food “testing” and passed with flying colours to deserve that A1 score & name!

 

Not only have they passed our test, they have also passed others so as to be awarded the Singapore Brand Award 2012 and the Excellent Food Award in 2013!

 

I have faith that with a greater share of voices within the local community, they will soon be a big name in time to come as one of the top-notch restaurants serving local crusines!

 

They have a total of 9 outlets in Singapore. For full list of the outlets and more information, please visit: http://www.aoneclaypot.com.

World’s largest Etude House Opening

I feel pampered around my family because they always give in to me and provide me with whatever I want (literally). Even J thought that I am really spoilt because I have no bills to pay even though I am already at THIS age and working for 1.5 year already.

But no one has ever treated me like a princess in the disney stories. No one until that night…. I stepped into a land of K-Beauty with a little fusion of Disney Princesses collection make up.

It was very pink and I thought I was in some fairytale or Korea. Yes, that is the world’s largest Etude House Flagship Store in Singapore!! Thank you Etude House for bringing Korea over!! The flagship store is located in Wisma Atria #B1-20/21/22.

The store is lavishly decorated with exquisite and delicate interior design to fascinate and inspire. You will also notice that the entire store is in a pink and white theme.

When you are there, be sure to snap a photo with the iconic life-sized regal Pumpkin Carriage found in the store!

Other than that, with every $30 spent, you will be given a token. You can use the token for their capsule machines and win intricate trinkets such as charm bracelet or bag charms. Alternatively, you can also use the pink token (2 tokens/pic) on the photo booth.

Meanwhile at the event…. We had cute cupcakes for the party as well.

The very very famous Pony Youtuber was also there to do a makeup demo using Etude House products.

Even the local celebrity Xu Bin was there to grace the opening!

You know what I like about the store?

They have very informative tips for you ladies as well! A wall of them!!

Also, they had cute korean guys who flew in just for the event!

J was in front of me so I had to pretend to be not-so-happy. BAHAHAHA.

Xinyi and me went gahgah at all the products they carry as they have the most extensive and updated collection of products, including exclusive items such as all 50 shades of the Play 101 Pencil and Disney Princess Collection.

The Disney Princess Collection is really really cute!! They are mostly make up products from the face to your nails.

There are 4 different lines – Snow White, Cinderella, Belle and Jasmine which include an assortment of BB cream, mascara, blushers, lipsticks and nail polishes.

Even the packaging of the product comes in a storybook packaging which is really irresistible. More information will be up when the review is up (I hope soon).

In short, you should really visit the store and who knows, you may be spending more than me there! Like in Korea, there are freebies on top of your purchases with min spending! So see you there!!

Etude House – I’m Blooming Skincare

What kind of skincare products are you attracted to most?

Price? Packaging? 
Effectiveness? 
Country of origin?

For me it is definitely effectiveness and packaging!

And do you know that Etude house have very nice smelling and pretty packaging products?!

I went “Omg they are so pretty!” when I saw them. I bet you are going to say the same too.

I’ll let the pictures do justice for the brand/products.

First up, they have facial mist of Pure Green Tea, Essential Flower and Canola Honey.

Each mist serves a different function to cater to the different skin type.

Pure Green Tea: Sebum Control Mist
– Hydrates thirsty skin while controling oil and shine, providing soft powdery skin.
– Contains 95.5% of early summer green tea extract that balances out skin’s moisture level for a moist inside with a soft, powdery outside.

Canola Honey: Deep Moisture Mist
– Provides instant hydrating relief to skin, locking in long-lasting vital moisture.
– Contains 81.9% of Honey extract that delivers deep, rich moisture and nourishment to skin.

Essential Flower: Brightening Mist
– Brightens up dull and exhausted skin and smoothes out rough texture, providing a clear, milky-white complexion.
– Contains 93.9% of flower extracts that add brightness to the skin.

All of them smells really really nice and I can’t really decide on which one is my favorite.
If I would have to, I would probably pick Canola Honey which helps in hydrating my dry skin.

Next is the cleansing series which consist of Moisture Cleansing foam, Clear cleansing water and Brightening water gel.

The clear cleansing water contains plant origin surfactant. It is mild (so do not worry about it being harsh or if your skin can’t take it). Though mild, it is effective in removing thick makeup.

And know what? You do not need to rinse it off with additional water. Very convenient right?!

Imagine wiping and washing your whole face with just clear cleansing water and cotton pads.

Time saving. Very convenient for people who always reach home late and is lazy to remove full make up.

Brightening Wash-off Gel contains flower and plant-origin powder. Suitable for daily wash and gently removes dead skin cells, providing smooth, supple skin. As you wash your face, it strengthens the skin’s natural vitability.

Lastly, the Moisture Cleansing Foam gently removes impurities with its fine bubbles, providing full hydration to skin right after cleansing without any signs of dryness and helps maintain fresh, blooming, healthy skin.

Skincare is not the end. It is also important to use fine and soft pads during cleansing.

Thee cotton pads have 5 layers each and made of 100% pure and soft cotton!

I like this I’m Blooming Bubble Peeling Dual Pad because it was two different textured sides that each have its own function.

One side with foam mesh for moist bubble cleansing and other side with microfiber texture for effective exfoliation and peeling.

Shall we embark on this blooming journey together?

Let’s BLOOM away~
