[random] Eighteen Chefs + Cocobolo + Sephora haul

A big THANK YOU to DBS BANK for the lovely food vouchers, and I used them to enjoy a dinner at 'Eighteen Chefs'. I had Green Curry Pasta with Grilled Chicken, and Baby had Seafood Aglio Olio Pasta. We both opted to top up our mains for combo meal which included a drink and soup of the day.



We ordered the Salted Egg Yolk Snack Platter which comprised of a Salted Egg Yolk Dip Fondue and a mixture of deep-fried snacks items such as Calamari Rings, Onion Rings, PopCorn Chicken and Fish/Chicken Nuggets. It was a wonderful indulgence! 


Like many Singaporeans, we love going for buffets very much, and we are spoilt for choices when it comes to hotel buffet spreads. It gets way better especially when you can enjoy a lavish buffet spread for 2 people for the price of 1!

Recently, I visited Cocobolo, an alfresco restaurant which is located at level 2 at Park Royal Hotel, near Robertson Quay. The BBQ buffet spread is located next to the poolside. The alluring smell of the smoky flavors of the sizzling meat kept me excited when I was led to our dining table. 


 I love the BBQ squid and gourmet sausages very much, while Baby enjoyed the Lamb Steaks and Cajun Spiced Tiger Prawns.



We ended our dinner on a sweet note, and we had Apple Crumble Pie, assorted cakes, egg tarts and Mini Cornetto Ice-cream cones too! 


Tip: Wear anything light as Singapore's humidity and heat is not a great combination for an Alfresco Meal. I decked myself out on a light off-shoulder top from Kitschen. 

Thanks Baby for the dinner treat, and it was a well-deserved meal to end my working week. I love the feeling of dining with your loved ones under the starry night sky! 



I spent most of my weekends at Baby's place, and he lives in Woodlands. We will eat out with Auntie Vi, if she didn't cook. To be honest, I love home-cooked food, and I want it on every weekend. On a random Saturday evening, we had dinner in Woodlands. The zichar fare was pretty decent, and value for money too! I love the 'cai poh' tofu very much, as I couldn't stop myself to more servings. 


Thanks Sweetie for gifts she got for me during her HKG trip. I love this simple Tiffany Blue beaded bracelet. This was one of the items in her HK goodies gift bag LOL! 


Lastly, I end my post with my beauty haul from Sephora ION. I picked up the Glow Finish Pressed Powder, and it was partial off-set by using the Sephora gift voucher. The damage was minimal after the discount!

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment, and I was

[product review] Celladix Sebum Rebalancing RX Ampoule + COCOnCO Skincare Line

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence! It is suggested to be used as the first step in daily skin care. Apply it to cleansed skin first before applying the lotion, emulsion/serum and cream.  It is recommended for the product to be used twice a day - Once in the morning, and once in the evening. After using the COCOnCO First Essence , I did find it more hydrating and my skin is now less sensitive. My favorite way to use this is just as an essence after applying my toner, in order to ad
