I was looking for setting powder because my favourite and effective Laura Mercier Powder (review <a href="http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2014/07/review-laura-mercier-invisible-loose.html"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">here</span></b></a>) finished. Usually I would just buy this product over and over, but recently my bff *Pris mentioned Too Faced Hangover 3-in-1 Coconut Spray and how refreshing it felt on her skin. I was naturally tempted to give it a try and so I got a bottle.<br />
<br />
The main ingredient is coconut water and this wonderful pro-biotic spray is oil-free, silicone-free and alcohol-free, therefore suitable for sensitive skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dx8dF-o57cXCH4Pd-fx7kyE5X4xvcm0EVnPFzjH79o7JVMECZNiBn84pqrG5YUlvVt1BjEd7CfQqMFXCzZFbA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
When using, hold the nozzle about an arm's length away and spray over the face. If used as a primer, spray before makeup application. If used for setting makeup and making it last longer, spray after full-face makeup is completed.<br />
<br />
This spray can also be used throughout the day to refresh and hydrate skin; this is very important especially if we stay in air-conditioned environment for long hours. I also use the spray on my hair to give it some moisture throughout the day as well.<br />
<br />
Overall verdict? Easy and fun to use, and I like it as a booster for my skin and hair. However, I find that it doesn't keep my makeup on as lasting as <i><b>Laura Mercier</b></i> setting powder for me. Also, not everyone may like the coconut smell even though it is very light. All in all, worth a shot.<br />

<u><i><b>Lao Beijing</b></i></u> is part of the TungLok Group, specialising in Northern Chinese cuisine such as noodles, crispy skin roast duck, steamed dumplings etc. They used to have more outlets but it seems there's only the Velocity Novena Square outlet left.

The <i><b>Pork & Chive Dumplings </b></i>(SGD$6.00) were pretty good and melty, tender minced pork wrapped in soft flour skin.<br />

<br />
<i><b>Braised Pork Rice</b></i> (SGD$3.50) was decent, with delectable bits of tiny braised pork cubes and half a soft-braised egg. I thought a little more gravy might transform the simple rice dish better.<br />
<br />

They have 3 outlets in Singapore and being Easties, we chose the Changi City Point branch to dine at. Needless to say - with their huge variety of dishes and affordable price tags, the place was packed with dinner crowds.<br />

We enjoyed their signature <i><b>Seafood Platter</b></i> (seasonal price) very much, because evidently, it was a treasure pot of goodness! One could choose between Chicken Soup Base or spicy Mala Soup Base.<br />
<br />
The ingredients included baby lobsters, green mussels, scallops, lala, quail egg, crab, black fungus, lettuce, noodles, tang hoon glass vermicelli, sweetcorn, prawns, and crayfish.<br />

I was delighted for the opportunity to try out the <i><b>Bright Skin Cosmetic Laser</b></i> (worth SGD$168.00) at <u><b><i>CSK DermaCare</i></b></u>. My laser treatment must be performed by a doctor, so only selective outlets offer this laser treatment. CSK DermaCare is operated by ClearSK Aesthetics Group, providing a wide range of aesthetics services for our skincare needs.<br />

The <i><b>Bright Skin Cosmetic Laser</b></i> is a fuss-free laser procedure with minimal pain and zero downtime. It brightens the skin, making pigmentation and other imperfections appear lighter. Plus, it gives the benefits of a brightening facial - all within a span of roughly 20 minutes.<br />

The Tiong Bahru outlet is relatively small, but it is tastefully decorated. I took a seat and was attended to pretty quickly. No numbing cream was applied on my face after makeup removal by therapist.<br />

Then the doctor came in to cover my eyes with goggles. He touched the laser device to my face while explaining each step and benefits. Each touch of the device caused a frisson of pain (like an ant's bite) because of the heat. There was also a mild burning smell but Doctor assured me that it was normal, and nothing to worry about.<br />

The treatment was fast, so you can even come for a quick lunchtime laser session! The therapist gave me a soothing and hydrating <i><b>Aloe Vera Mask</b></i> to apply that night.<br />

My skin felt and looked very radiant after that. I didn't have makeup on the entire day, but still felt confident because my skin was glowing and bright.<br />

Recently I was part of the Neuro-Awareness Road show, so I was based at Changi Airport Terminal 3 for 2 days. Where else did I go for my lunch if not my favourite <u><i><b>O'Coffee Club</b></i></u>? The decor has also changed - an open concept now with lots of plants, almost botanical-like. Menus have been revamped a little, you can check review <a href="http://thearcticstar.blogspot.com/2014/11/lunch-at-ocoffee-club-changi-airport.html"><b><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">here</span></b></a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Anyway I had their <b><i>3-Egg Omelet (SGD$8.90) with Ham & Cheese</i></b>. One could choose that, or Mushroom & Chicken. The Omelet came with a plain salad and tasted pretty good - the only issue was that I wish they had written there that the Omelet contains onions, as not everyone takes it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-C2RiARmli8EBpT-G359cK9jt_KTZrJyBqZ0DIE_u8qBRH66Bml_v2uhwihaRO_J9rwLQ-MbT5P2_2vQlEEnMrGazvG5Otz4UckqovDOH2WMxvLrqo1clqWHA1sMsSFJiwoLxagX20cYa/s1600/20180905_184259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-C2RiARmli8EBpT-G359cK9jt_KTZrJyBqZ0DIE_u8qBRH66Bml_v2uhwihaRO_J9rwLQ-MbT5P2_2vQlEEnMrGazvG5Otz4UckqovDOH2WMxvLrqo1clqWHA1sMsSFJiwoLxagX20cYa/s400/20180905_184259.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I paired the above with a hot <i><b>Peppermint Tea</b></i> (SGD$4.80), with was a pretty good pairing actually, and the minty flavour helped to take away some of the onion taste in my mouth.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYIdG68Rpo1vWCgkVI0xt0MYgxDutiIp5BZ5vXPYDIH2wfzLjTLQAeD0F6aaY2Ke5Ep4RtzE1OJ3T_BYBYAcuaXzt5_bBfyQR9IhJj_5SrKKrTpLizyv26xGhLuVOQPwLCeBY5pnuFRGN7/s1600/20180905_183953.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYIdG68Rpo1vWCgkVI0xt0MYgxDutiIp5BZ5vXPYDIH2wfzLjTLQAeD0F6aaY2Ke5Ep4RtzE1OJ3T_BYBYAcuaXzt5_bBfyQR9IhJj_5SrKKrTpLizyv26xGhLuVOQPwLCeBY5pnuFRGN7/s400/20180905_183953.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The next day, I had one of my favourites all these years - <i><b>Classic Caesar Salad in Cheese Basket</b></i> (SGD$14.90), with Smoked Salmon. One could choose Chicken if they don't like Salmon. Ingredients were fresh and the crispy cheese cheese basket was just so good! I could eat this type of salad every day!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJr1fm9zsWNpx9bqLV_vdkHTn7TDLVruggZT1_chZH4ed8bY_xrZaWR9bfULn5n90_uDCfO274hXl1yAQz0wKz5MvrttOuaF9XI62VO9GJmXq_COLWxRBX4aCbaEhKo4a8Wajw6DN3AKpx/s1600/20180905_183939.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJr1fm9zsWNpx9bqLV_vdkHTn7TDLVruggZT1_chZH4ed8bY_xrZaWR9bfULn5n90_uDCfO274hXl1yAQz0wKz5MvrttOuaF9XI62VO9GJmXq_COLWxRBX4aCbaEhKo4a8Wajw6DN3AKpx/s400/20180905_183939.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
I paired this with a glass of <i><b>Red Wine</b></i> (SGD$11.00), the only choice available here was the Shiraz Cabernet. I'm not sure why they scrapped my favourite Blackforest Blend from the menu if they could still serve alcoholic drinks.<br />
<br />
Anyway overall, not bad dining experience here again. The afternoon crew were really nice - coming around to top up water and asked if everything was good.<br />

We used to enjoy the food and ambience at Changi Beach Club's Golden Seafood Restaurant (review <a href="https://thearcticstar.blogspot.com/2017/11/dinner-at-golden-beach-seafood-paradise.html"><b><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">here</span></b></a>); now it has become Changi Beach Seafood Paradise. We decided to give it a try, when celebrating the MIL and SIL's birthdays earlier this year.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Service was very warm upon entry, but later became quite non-existent when more diners joined, so maybe they had manpower issues.<br />
<br />
Decor was a little different now too. You're surrounded by seas, and catch magnificent views of the sunset, but the alfresco seating areas have been altered so the restaurant's interior spaces were longer now. Big round tables filled the restaurant; the menu consisted of mainly seafood and Chinese dishes.<br />
<br />

<br />
We started with<b><i> Prawn Paste Chicken Wings</i></b> (SGD$12 / $18 / $22 for S / M / L). Quite crispy, and evident prawn paste marinated flavour, but not one of the better ones I have tried.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We also had the <b><i>Sweet and Sour Pork </i></b>(SGD$12 / $18 / $22 for S / M / L). Crispy cubes of fried pork covered in a blanket of appetite-whetting zesty sauce; pretty palatable.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
There was also the <b><i>Wok-fried Beef with Black Pepper</i></b> (SGD$18 / $24 / $32 for S / M / L). Delicious slices of tender beef inmersed in black pepper sauce, complemented well by crunchy bell peppers and onion slices.<br />
<br />

<br />
The <i><b>Chilli Crabs</b></i> (seasonal price) were pretty fresh and delectable; the gravy was a little too sweet for us though. More piquant would have been ideal.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The above dish must of course be accompanied by <b><i>Fried Buns</i></b> (SGD$1.00 per piece); you could have the option of fried or steamed bun.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then the must-have vegetables dish; we chose <b><i>Hong Kong Kai Lan</i></b> (SGD$12 / $18 / $24 for S / M / L). Fresh greens stir-fried with garlic.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Lastly, from their seasonal promotion menu - <b><i>Fried Hokkien Mee, KL-style</i></b>. With thick noodles, fried and immersed in dark sauce. Quite nice; would have been great if there was a dash of "wok hey".<br />
<br />
Overall, quite enjoyable dining here, but sadly, do not foresee ourselves returning anytime soon.<br />

<b><u>Elemen Vegetarian Restaurant</u></b> introduces creative and elegant meat-less cuisine and currently has 4 outlets - Millenia Walk, Great World City, Harbourfront Centre and Paya Lebar Quarter.<br />
<br />

The outlet at Millenia Walk has a lovely, elegant and clean design, earthly tones of green and beige, that make one very comfortable.<br />
<br />
Their set menus are very wallet friendly, for instance, 5-course set lunch for SGD$26.80, and 8-course set lunch for SGD$32.80.<br />

<br />
The <b><i>Elemen Appetiser</i></b> (SGD$4.80 if ordered as a la carte item) - a trio of salty, sweet and sour dishes. Diners should begin from the right to the left as they are meant to sample the three different flavours that varies from light to heavy that are meant to effectively whet one’s appetite for the other courses to come.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The salad of choice for me was the <b><i>Grilled Holloumi Tomato with Watermelon Salad</i></b> (SGD$5.80 if ordered as à la carte), utterly refreshing and simple, despite its deceptively simple ingredients.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><br /></b>
<b>The Mushroom Risotto with Black Truffles</b> (SGD$16.80, if ordered on à la carte basis) exuded an earthly aroma, and looked pleasing to the eyes. However, contact with the mouth was disappointing - bland flavours despite its smell, and the rice grains were coarse and undercooked.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><i>The Tempura Tofu with Avocado Roll </i></b>(SGD$15.80) was more palatable, with crispy golden-fried cubes of beancurd and tasty rice rolls topped with creamy avocado.<br />
<br />
For dessert, I had <b><i>Chocolate Mousse Cake,</i></b> which was tasty and enjoyable, a sweet finish to a wholesome meal.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Dian Xiao Er</u></b> is a Chinese restaurant chain in Singapore with 13 outlets spanning Singapore, from East to West. It has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for a long time because of its aromatic and palatable Herbal Roast Duck.<br />
<br />
"Xiao Er" was the traditional way of addressing a waiter in olden Chinese food inn, a place for long-distanced travellers to get some rest and a good meal before continuing on their journeys. I love how their restaurants are designed to look like those rustic, ancient Chinese food inn - complete with stone brick walls and wooden chairs, etc.<br />

<br />
We went to the outlet at Bedok Mall for lunch, birthday treat courtesy of my dearie, thank you!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
They had the Set Lunch which was very attractive - SGD$32.80, for a Meat dish, a Vegetable dish, starters of Deep Fried Fish Skin, rice and tea.<br />
<br />
One could choose between white rice or brown rice at no extra charges.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For meat dish, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out we'd choose the <b><i>Signature Herbal Roasted Duck</i></b>- crispy skin, tender flesh with fragrance of herbs. One could choose from two types of herbs - Angelica (dang gui), or Ten Wonders (shi quan). We chose the former.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For vege, we had <b><i>Homemade Wheatgrass Tofu with Vegetables</i></b>, which was tasty and nutritious definitely.<br />
<br />
Enjoyed my lunch here very much, and hope to enjoy their food more often. Service was friendly and warm as well, thank you <b><u>Dian Xiao Er</u></b> for upholding years of excellency.<br />

<br />
Another one of our Wine Friday evenings - sipping wine and gorging on good food, sharing laughters over various topics in life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><u>Wine Mansion</u></b> was picked for its wide selection of wine, cozy rustic ambience and eclectic mix of cuisine featuring Eastern, European and Western dishes. Prices of food and wine are reasonable as well, making for an enjoyable hangout venue.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Started with <b><i>Fresh Oysters</i></b> (SGD$24.00 for a dozen); tasty, briny and juicy, good sized oysters paired with lemon wedges. Very addictive, and we were tempted to order more.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJC57ClIhug94aONoPExkaSLXuE-98mGtkJ4Zru34GwI-ZO8DwpLWFWfbGDJtn5DX5LuFtANSIIFZoXGl6D5xxewJR5CuyDSSO41M2vWtkCJ_v4T_n3PxT5YPlmefZtYDxvEHo34N3Dn64/s1600/IMG-20191226-WA0018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJC57ClIhug94aONoPExkaSLXuE-98mGtkJ4Zru34GwI-ZO8DwpLWFWfbGDJtn5DX5LuFtANSIIFZoXGl6D5xxewJR5CuyDSSO41M2vWtkCJ_v4T_n3PxT5YPlmefZtYDxvEHo34N3Dn64/s400/IMG-20191226-WA0018.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then we had the <b><i>Spam Fries</i></b> (SGD$8.00) -thick cut luncheon meat deep-fried so they were crispy on the inside; meaty within - very enjoyable, especially paired with honey mustard dip.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT3rZWkxgjpA8HvDnMRGxDIG3zTVjWajJ3pdcPnl2KzpW0ErCmKPpzrTbDCuhN6_YPHEEMO6X14UBI-ccY2oDXze8X6ueDXJ245t0LYMsy8gRNYbg2ahgapAdosE27D9U2gV6Xl46qF_2w/s1600/IMG-20191226-WA0023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT3rZWkxgjpA8HvDnMRGxDIG3zTVjWajJ3pdcPnl2KzpW0ErCmKPpzrTbDCuhN6_YPHEEMO6X14UBI-ccY2oDXze8X6ueDXJ245t0LYMsy8gRNYbg2ahgapAdosE27D9U2gV6Xl46qF_2w/s400/IMG-20191226-WA0023.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, <b><i>Pork Belly</i></b> (SGD$8.00) - roasted with crackling skin and tender flesh, served with mustard dip and picked vegetables; flavours burst when paired together. Interesting and appetite-whetting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZECQkyBByoQ-LLk7Ydkn8n3pEHQ4rbV20suotvdRpE7TvIF4gJF1kaEmHA_zvxLam57yCbAWodoFeBHCOLml3c_aFabFHZzrRYA9iWoicz8aNNZp0QPFe5yd1HUJACy_vaHFNGQBsnmiW/s1600/IMG-20191226-WA0027.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZECQkyBByoQ-LLk7Ydkn8n3pEHQ4rbV20suotvdRpE7TvIF4gJF1kaEmHA_zvxLam57yCbAWodoFeBHCOLml3c_aFabFHZzrRYA9iWoicz8aNNZp0QPFe5yd1HUJACy_vaHFNGQBsnmiW/s400/IMG-20191226-WA0027.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Following that, <b><i>Seared Scallops</i></b> (SGD$19.00) that were bouncing with freshness, and bathed in a delicious creamy herbal sauce. Loved the crunchy asparagus served with them, lending their pure sweet flavour.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4VNGNK4QjKujJ0fxQZlG6I4apugFcFEy3tGhIRmG2IeyRJFpIZP_oIupFY7nbE6RICB3ILzrzh6AtZyJEKLHnQL5OliMQu_Z1w6mnFY6wf-zUL8OmdEOLddd9xpwc3jFAByEDRKhoG8B/s1600/IMG-20191226-WA0029.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ4VNGNK4QjKujJ0fxQZlG6I4apugFcFEy3tGhIRmG2IeyRJFpIZP_oIupFY7nbE6RICB3ILzrzh6AtZyJEKLHnQL5OliMQu_Z1w6mnFY6wf-zUL8OmdEOLddd9xpwc3jFAByEDRKhoG8B/s400/IMG-20191226-WA0029.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
We had the <b><i>Crispy</i></b> <b><i>White Bait</i></b> (SGD$9.00) that were fried to a beautiful golden brown. They crackled on the exterior but melted like dreams inside; were very addictive on their own even if we did not dive into the aioli lemon dip that was served with them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCUttDFpblLL1GUrMVMFUgjPg05RqAsc0HzS4Wrj4DGuU6u3hXxYhm9fYL0iYfvPRdOzwohHpeDCe1Dci7L3JyCcjUb_6jO1FU8E7DditE-spJAFadvriPN8RDwtmcRrWvypQwIvGYGdxM/s1600/IMG-20191226-WA0028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCUttDFpblLL1GUrMVMFUgjPg05RqAsc0HzS4Wrj4DGuU6u3hXxYhm9fYL0iYfvPRdOzwohHpeDCe1Dci7L3JyCcjUb_6jO1FU8E7DditE-spJAFadvriPN8RDwtmcRrWvypQwIvGYGdxM/s400/IMG-20191226-WA0028.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Final tapas for sharing was the <b><i>Beef Poutine</i></b> (SGD$10.00); a little disappointing because the fries were limp and beef bits or fried egg atop failed to value add in terms of taste or texture.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLigC3UjSXytErHyMQT_ZOQgoon9bTgJ1i-QKZ-VnfXAbJU-Xl1wls0-k3C2QBFXMYlq3pKMSgZwjV3uHnfSwioe1ZoK0qmOZaQcQa2n6al3RYDUqb9XPUQ2yU5C5p13qvd0noi4s02x9X/s1600/IMG-20191226-WA0019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLigC3UjSXytErHyMQT_ZOQgoon9bTgJ1i-QKZ-VnfXAbJU-Xl1wls0-k3C2QBFXMYlq3pKMSgZwjV3uHnfSwioe1ZoK0qmOZaQcQa2n6al3RYDUqb9XPUQ2yU5C5p13qvd0noi4s02x9X/s400/IMG-20191226-WA0019.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Moving on to mains, the <b><i>Spicy Mala Lamb Linguine</i></b> (SGD$18.00 was a refreshing, tangy delight for spicy lovers like me. Every bite was packed with peppercorn punch, flavoursome, and a dish I would order again if I come back.<br />

Finally, <b><i>Carbonara Linguine with Ikura</i></b> (SGD$18.00) that was egg-based and creamy; the explosive umami flavour of ikura (salmon roe) added an interesting tinge to the creaminess; palatable.<br />
<br />
The night also seen us polishing off 2 bottles of wine over our meal. Overall, we enjoyed dining at <b><u>The Wine Mansion</u></b> very much, and hope to be back again soon.<br />

Recently, I find myself visiting more <b><u>Artisanal Boulangerie Co. Cafes </u></b>(ABC), from Balestier to Katong 112. I love their beverages and pastries, and the quiet ambiance with which work can be effectively done. Read previous reviews <a href="https://thearcticstar.blogspot.com/2014/05/lunch-at-artisan-boulangerie-co.html"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">here</span></b></a>.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately the Katong 112 outlet is not available right now because the mall is undergoing a major revamp.<br />
<br />

<br />
The <b><i>Pistachio Yogurt Tart</i></b> has a healthy sounding name that was immensely appealing. The nutty ring crowning the sourish yogurt flavour made for a lovely combination that was unstoppable from the first bite onwards.<br />
<br />

Their <b><i>Lemon Tart</i></b> is also a personal favorite; that crunchy buttery tart walls welling a smooth, zesty curd that was cool to my lips.<br />

By the renowned Eric Kayser, <b><u>Maison Kayser</u></b> is a renowned French artisan bakery in Singapore, currently they have 6 outlets in Singapore - China Square, Raffles Place (OCBC Center), Scotts Square, Serangoon MyVillage, Suntec City and TripleOne Somerset.<br />
<br />
I patronised the Raffles Place outlet before, but frequent the Scotts Square one. Love their pastries and quiet ambience where I could also get some work done over afternoon tea.<br />
<br />

<br />
"<i>Traditional and creative breads, flaky croissants, delicious pastries, savoury sandwichs, and every biscuits and brioches in between</i>" is their recommendation for their baked goods; I have friends who simply love their croissants.<br />
<br />

I love their <b><i>Pistachio Apricot Tart</i></b>, a beautiful creation of juicy sweetness with nutty notes, wafting down creamy custard fillings that line the walls of buttery, crunchy crust.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
The <b><i>Chocolate Eclair</i></b> has a nice chewy texture topped with rich and creamy chocolate, and is filled with cold chocolate mousse within. Every bite oozed the latter, sweetening the tongue with chocolatey cream dream.<br />
<br />
I know I will be back again and again, as long as you are around. Love the good selection of artisanal desserts and quality that <b><u>Maison Kayser</u></b> is all about, over the years.<br />

Lunch with another client, this time a vegetarian, who strongly recommended <b><u>Sufood Restaurant</u></b> to me.<br />
<br />
The restaurant is nestled in a corner of Raffles City Shopping Centre, near the escalators and spa services. Simple in design, with friendly service crew, they specialise in curated vegetarian dining with an emphasis on wholesome food.<br />

We started with the <b><i>Wholesome Trio</i></b> (SGD$4.90, if ordered as an a la carte item).<br />
Pleasing to the eyes and utterly palatable, this trio consists of Cherry Tomato Jelly, White Water Snowflake with Red. Pepper, Japanese Yuca Root with Blueberry Sauce.<br />

Finally, dessert of <i><b>Earl Grey Ice-cream Cookie Sandwic</b></i><b><i>h</i></b>, which was creamy and decadent, the perfect ending to our meal.<br />

<b><u>That CD Shop</u></b> houses a good assortment of records, audiophiles , and music from jazz to classical to rock and pop, etc. With it, attaches a classy restaurant cafe with elegant Parisian vibes, complete with monochrome tiled floors and stunning chandelier lamps. It is also no surprise that it is tied to the High Society Cafes that I adored (review here).<br />
<br />
Currently they have 2 outlets - Vivo City and Wisma Atria.<br />
<br />

I love their cafes because of the glamorous vibes and best of all, classy music drifting to my ears from the players. One is prepared to feel as though they are lost in another world, or at least another continent, when they take a seat upon one of these cushy armchairs.<br />
<br />
In line with the beautiful settings would be beautiful pastries that look almost too good to be devoured. I was torn between that shell-like pastry with the blueberries, slices of cakes, or <b><i>Houjicha Cake</i></b>; I succumbed to the latter.<br />
<br />

<br />
Aromatic tea hints in a mochi-like pastry, perfect for an afternoon tea. None of those toothache-inducing sweetness or "trendy" flavours; this one touched on quality and lingering notes that satisfies the palate and makes one feel good eating it.<br />
<br />
I want to make this place my favorite hangout, truly.<br />

We were searching for seaside dining, and a simple meal near our place of residence. Used to visit <a href="https://thearcticstar.blogspot.com/2015/11/lunch-at-5-drunken-rabbits-bistro-bar.html"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">5 Drunken Rabbits</span></b></a>, but it has been closed.<br />

Came across <b><u>Georges at the Cove</u></b>, and have been back another couple of times since then. Lovely Balinese beach bar concept with good ambience right by the seaside, where breezes kissed our cheeks, and we watched sunsets over the horizon.<br />

<b><u>Georges</u></b> have quite a few outlets in Singapore- such as Pasir Ris, Punggol (by the bay), East Coast Park, Seletar, Changi Airport, Siglap and Nanyang Crescent. Like the proper beach bar that it was, good music was blasting in the background for us to Bob our heads to.<br />

We were there for a simple dinner starting with <b><i>Luncheon Chips</i></b> (SGD$10.90), served with BBQ sauce and a refreshing pairing of raw fresh onions.<br />
<br />
Also had a glass of <b><i>Red Wine</i></b> and mains of Spanish Pork Chop (SGD$18.90) - 200grams of tender grilled pork fillet served with mashed potato.<br />

On an earlier occasion, we came here for a casual Valentine's dinner, where they had a special set menu. It comprised of a <b><i>Vegetable Soup</i></b> with crispy slices of <b><i>Garlic Bread</i></b>.<br />

<br />
I had the <b><i>Grilled Salmon</i></b> with pesto sauce and potato salad. Tasty!<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally, <b><i>Strawberry Fondant Cake</i></b> with vanilla ice-cream and fresh strawberries for dessert.<br />
<br />
Overall, happy dining experience here- happy crowd, tasty food and good music. Service could be more consistent though - when I visited in February 2019, service was efficient, excellent and friendly. In December the same year, staff were curt, cool and standing around instead of dining over to check on patrons.<br />

Talk about hole in the wall cafes, <b><u>Skinny Cakes Cafe</u></b> literally fits the bill - a tiny little setup near Exit A of Boon Keng MRT, that may have gone unnoticed save for the wafting of aromas from its pastries. It's so small, it's more of a takeout bakery than a cafe, though there are 2 tables there, and coffee / tea are served.<br />
<br />

They have a good selection of pastries from muffins to tarts, cakes and cookies.<br />
<br />

<br />
The <b><i>Yogurt Muffins</i></b> (SGD$2.00 ++ each), are delicious, and contain yogurt so it sounds healthy. They have a slight crunch on the exterior top parts, and then crumbly, moist and soft on the other parts, giving a good mouthfeel with every bite.<br />
<br />
The interesting flavours are Blueberry Chia Seed, Earl Grey Almonds, Raspberry, Double Chocolate Chips, and Sea Salt Caramel. Each muffin exudes enough flavour to be distinguished for its uniqueness but is not overpowering.<br />

<br />
I love the <b><i>Atas Blackforest Cake</i></b> (SGD$7.50) for its quality. It is undeniably delectable, as it takes 2 days to make! Comprises 64% Cacao Barry Dark Chocolate mousse, cherry gelee, Kirsch cream, morello cherries, chocolate genoise and dark chocolate crunch, so imagine the punch of this many ingredients upon the palate.<br />
<br />

<br />
The <b><i>Japanese Tofu Cheesecake</i></b> (SGD$5.50) is very light, with gently touch of cream, and a delicate thing of beauty. It is also not too sweet, so this makes it suitable for a wider group of eaters.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAqguxxjH_gcyahvp_xlnHlY_05KX_qQXbIh0rbi281thltyp3X4U3XQRXQ1It5p2gDsq8EDnk2VCDYcI_8qySmtG_gAliDsvOiSZreCbUC8NUBC9So9KzDWVwsOR3521ln6HOkJdV2FV/s1600/Screenshot_20200531-005033_Gallery.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1080" height="296" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwAqguxxjH_gcyahvp_xlnHlY_05KX_qQXbIh0rbi281thltyp3X4U3XQRXQ1It5p2gDsq8EDnk2VCDYcI_8qySmtG_gAliDsvOiSZreCbUC8NUBC9So9KzDWVwsOR3521ln6HOkJdV2FV/s400/Screenshot_20200531-005033_Gallery.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally, the <b><i>Lemon Curd Tart</i></b> (SGD$6.50), charming the palate with its buttery crunchy tart shell and zesty curd centre. This also stole our hearts and was addictive to eat again and again.<br />
<br />
Overall, we enjoy the healthy and tasty desserts here at <b><u>Skinny Cakes</u></b>; service could be more consistent because sometimes we get the warm cheery greetings and other times, a passive poker face.<br />

<br />
The last time we went to KidZania Singapore (review <a href="http://thearcticstar.blogspot.com/2016/06/review-of-kidzania-sentosa.html"><b><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">here</span></b></a>), it was to bring the Niece. KidZania had just opened in Singapore then. This June holidays, we brought the Nephew there (he is quite a few years younger than his sister) to enjoy this indoor children's theme park where they get to try out different career and job roles.<br />
<br />
I don't think much has changed since our visit 2 years ago - ticket pricing is the same (thankfully), every child must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 and above, and everyone wears a wrist tag. The games stations are still pretty much the same, and waiting time per station can range from 0 mins to 2 hours (the latter is more for the aviation roles such as Pilot and Cabin Crew).<br />
<br />

<br />
Let's see. So the kids' first stop should ideally be <u><b>Maybank</b></u>, where they queue up and go to the counter and activate their "bank card", entitling them to 30 credits for use around the theme park. The children can use this "bank card" to pay for purchases, or their earnings can be credited into the cards. Kids keen on the financial sectors can also choose to "work" at Maybank or AIA Insurance booths.<br />
<br />

For the kids that love food, there are the Pizza Hut, KFC, Ice Cream Factory and Sticky Candy stations for them to learn what's it like to prepare food and sweets for the customers. The Nephew absolutely enjoyed his chef time in the <b><u>Sticky Candy</u></b> workshop, where he happily walked away with a small pack of candies.<br />

Those aspiring to be in the Healthcare / Medical fields, there are Nanyang Optical, True Chiropractic Group, Sunstar Dental and Mt. Elizabeth Hospital stations to try your hands at - the Nephew had fun learning to be a doctor under Mt. Elizabeth Hospital station. The kids all donned the white doctor's coats, used stethoscopes, and got to ride in the ambulance.<br />

For uniform groups, the role-play choices include being part of the <i><b>Singapore Civil Defence Force</b></i> (SCDF) learning to put out fires, or the <i><b>Singapore Police Force</b></i> (SPF). It is not hard to imagine why the <i><b>Pilot </b></i>and <i><b>Cabin Crew</b></i> roles have the longest queues though - I would gladly try them out if I were a kid too.<br />

The average queue time per station is 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the dates and times you choose to visit. So that means if you spend an entire day here, you get to try maybe 6-7 activities with meal times in between. Rumours have it that during the school holidays- it it wiser to visit on weekends because everyone believed it would be crowded, hence choose to come on weekdays instead.<br />

We enjoyed ourselves nearly as much as the Nephew, totally encouraging this educational and fun attraction to parents to let their kids try.<br />

Been a huge fan of <b><u>Ichiban Boshi Japanese Restaurant</u></b> for over a decade, always enjoying their delectable Japanese dishes that are wallet-friendly. From sashimi to rice bowls (don) to Japanese Curry and Lobster Salad Sushi etc- they never failed to be my comfort food.<br />

<b><u>Ichiban Boshi</u></b> is a Japanese chain restaurant with 13 outlets in Singapore, and I daresay I have tried most of them over the years. Happy to review that standard is consistent across the restaurants, and consistent over the years. You can read a couple of previous reviews <b><u><a href="https://thearcticstar.blogspot.com/2017/03/dinner-at-ichiban-boshi-japanese.html"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;">here</span></a></u></b> and <a href="https://thearcticstar.blogspot.com/2017/03/dinner-at-ichiban-boshi-japanese_22.html"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: x-large;"><b>here</b></span></a>.<br />

Recently they had a promotion where different outlets served a different specialty menu; and I love the Buckwheat Soba one at Suntec City. One dish in particular had me returning time and again - the <b><i>cold Natto Buckwheat Soba</i></b> dish.<br />
<br />
Now <b><i>natto</i></b> means fermented soy beans so there's a saltish taste that you either love or hate. The rest of the ingredients include cut ladies' fingers, shredded seaweed, poached egg, canned enoki mushrooms and spring onions. Toss everything together and enjoy the flavoursome dish with different textures of crunchy ladies' fingers, smooth buckwheat, texturized natto, etc - very addictive to eat; and healthy to enjoy.<br />
<br />

<br />
Other enjoyable dishes for me here are also their <i><b>Sashimi Platter</b></i> (one may choose the types of fish or seafood you like), the <b><i>Chawanmushi</i></b> aka steamed egg custard, and conveyor belt sushi.<br />
<br />
I look forward to dining at their restaurants soon again.<br />

<b><u>Sun with Moon Japanese Dining and Cafe</u></b> is another favorite restaurant of mine, whenever I have craving for contemporary Japanese cuisine. I am glad they are still around after so many years, so I can still enjoy the delectable food as well as excellent thoughtful service here.<br />
<br />
Combining the natural elements of sun and the moon, this cafe restaurant is the epitome of Japanese savoir faire, and its concept hails straight from Tokyo. You can read my past review <a href="https://thearcticstar.blogspot.com/2014/06/dinner-at-sun-with-moon-japanese.html"><span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;"><b>here</b></span></a>.<br />

Being heavily pregnant then, the staff were very concerned when I tried to order items containing raw stuff (i.e. sashimi, or even torched items); in fact they managed to talk me out of it. So I started with <b><i>Agadeshi Tofu</i></b> (SGD$6.80) - four silken pieces of crisp-skinned beancurd in tasty Dashi (Japanese soya) sauce, topped with bonito flakes, grated radish and spring onions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next, some nutritious <b><i>Kaisen Chawan Mushi</i></b> (SGD$12.80) - came with prawn, gingko nut and mushrooms hidden in big bowl of palatable steamed egg custard, and served with sweet crab ankake sauce.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Following that, <i><b>Foie Gras Millefeuille</b></i> (SGD$15.80) - incredibly melty grilled Foie Gras with sweet soy sauce served on flaky millefeuille pastry and a bed of lettuce. Love the texturized dish that was ever so addictive.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Finally, <b><i>Avocado Soft Shell Crab Roll</i></b> (SGD$9.90 for 4 pieces / SGD$18.80 for 8 pieces) with crunchy cucumber, crispy soft shell Crab, buttery avocado slices and topped with flying fish roe for that explosive deliciousness. Needless to say, a dish that came highly recommended.<br />
<br />
Love <b><u>Sun with Moon Japanese Dining and Cafe</u></b>; and will be back soon again for more meals.<br />

Recently, due to the Circuit Breaker (Covid-19), I was only too delighted to order their food for my Mother's Day dinner and for a special friend's Mother's Day dinner, too. Dining in was great, but their food remain good when eaten at home, too.<br />
<br />
Their <b><i>Speciality</i></b> <i style="font-weight: bold;">Sausage </i>(SGD$19.80) - choose from chicken, beef or pork, is served with delicious mashed potato.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
I love their <b><i>Pork Knuckle</i></b> - comes in whole (SGD$48.00), or single portion (SGD$22.80). Crackling exterior leading the teeth the way into tender flesh; served with sauerkraut and a sauce that tastes like mashed potato gravy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The <i><b>Schnitzel</b></i> (SGD$19.80) - choose from chicken or pork, is a breaded meat dish, deep-fried till golden brown. Enjoyable to eat, definitely, and is served with mashed potato and salad on the side.<br />

Just last Christmas, I was there for my favorite <b><i>Maultschen Meat Pocket</i></b> (a Swabian dumplings dish), <b style="font-style: italic;">Truffle Fries </b>and signature <b><i>Blackforest Cake</i></b> over wine, with some girlfriends.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to returning to their beautiful settings and dining in, enjoying the good service and palatable fare, soon again.<br />
