[tasting] Tonkotsu Tsukemen by Menya Sakura

Image
  Menya Sakura is located at Orchid Hotel, Tanjong Pagar , and it specialises in Nagoya-style ramen. Menya Sakura only offers two different styles of Japanese ramen; Tonkotsu Broth , as well as Tsukemen (noodles with a dipping sauce).     There is a free-flow salad bar which is available for all patrons to help themselves to. Patrons are able to opt for hot or cold noodles to be served with their Tsukemen, and are also allowed to choose from varying portion sizes of the item from the order chit.      Though there is a limited variety on the menu, the quality of the food served is top notch. This is the aim for Menya Sakura  as they wish to ensure quality and perfection in the dishes that they serve.    Apart from the Tonkotsu Tsukemen, we also had Aburi Char Siu too.         Thick noodles are chosen as they tasted better with the concentrated and flavorful broth, and the chashu...

[review] Brickit Shadow Hit 10 (#Choco) eyeshadow palette

Image
As an angel of Althea Korea , we receive many perks, and I am certainly glad being a part of the Althea Angels' Community! Last Christmas, all Althea Angels were invited to be a 'Santa Lil Helper' by spreading the word about the Althea's much-loved Skin Detoxers. I received a Brickit Shadow Hit 10 (#Choco) eyeshadow palette by 16Brand . The item was delivered smoothly to my doorstep from Korea.  The packaging for this is pretty creative, and it comes in a Hershey's type of design packaging. The 10 heavenly shades in each palette delivers rich, long-lasting pigment all night long.  This eyeshadow palette creates a variety of eye makeup styles from delicate shading makeup to bold smokey makeup. It is equipped with a highly-pigmented, light-weight formula.  I love the colors very much and I find it glides on well easily. Most importantly, the colors are neutral and they go well with most of my outfits. I applied ...

[USA TRIP] Day 3 - A day out to Brooktyn

Image
This post about Brooklyn will be a short one, as I mostly shop in downtown Brooklyn instead of Manhattan. Shopping and dining is naturally cheaper in Brooklyn, hence my preference to do all my purchasing there!     Our breakfast was so darn cheap! Eating fast food in New York is even cheaper than having a salad!! Of course, this should be done in moderation as fast food is obviously unhealthy.     On our re-visit to Brooklyn for this trip, we again took the metro to Wall Street, in order to traverse the Brooklyn Bridge. Along the way, we took some photos with the iconic 'Charging Bull', but I found that there were waaaaaayy too many tourists now as compared to my last visit.   This was especially made evident on arrival at the Brooklyn Bridge , as previously there were hardly any people. On this visit, the bridge had throngs of people and peddlers hawking various trinkets and souvenirs! Brooklyn Bridge is accessible 24 ho...

I want to share a piece of great news for all bubble tea lovers, who are residing at the North-side of Singapore. There is a new artisan Bubble Tea in town. Bober Tea is an artisan tea that is focused on providing affordable, high-quality and tasty blends of tea with various flavors! It is located at Bishan Station (Exit C), and if you are around there, do not give it a miss, as it’s definitely worth a try! Thanks for the invitation, Bober Tea! I gathered my 3 besties to join me for the tasting. We redeemed 4 cups for our indulgence. Happyily, my friends, they loved their drinks very much.  For me, I picked up the Supreme Mango Green Tea with Hokkaido Milk Cap , and I also added Strawberry Pop Boba for my toppings. It has a foamy and thicker consistency from the other milk teas we ordered. I love the QQ pop boba, and I couldn’t stop sipping it!  Here are some tips to how best to enjoy the Milk Cap Series - It is best to drink it from...
