[food review] Media tasting of Yam's Kitchen

Yam's Kitchen has humble beginnings in the F&B Industry since 2011, and has received numerous good reviews for serving quality food at an affordable price. It allows customers to taste authentic home-cooked cze char food-fare. Chef Kelvin Yam, 38 has more than 20 years of experience in the cze char culinary field and has achieved several gold medals in the Asian competitions in recognition of his excellent cooking skills and creatively in Chinese cuisine.
 
 
Yam's Kitchen has created a strong core value in providing customers with a great service/quality at a valuable price, as well as to stay committed in bringing gastronomical treats to all the patrons who visit the eatery place.
 
 
A group of us were invited to Yam's Kitchen by Singapore Food Listing for the Media Tasting, and it is located at Upper Thomson Road where the old Irvin's seafood was located. It is the second outlet after the successful flagship at E!Hub @ Downtown East, Pasir Ris.
 
 
The interior is pretty simple with an unpretentious setting. Yam's Kitchen does not implement a service charge and the food tasted great, as well as being priced reasonably.

 
We started off with a popular side-snack, Salted Egg Fish Skin, and it can be found on every table. The portion is decent enough to share among 3-4 people. The fish skin is well coated with salted egg, and each piece tasted flavorful with a hint of spiciness. I love the crispy fish skin very much, and it is probably the highlight of the night! Highly recommended as you will not regret trying them!
 
 
Smoked Duck Wrapped in Crepe and Fragrant Wine Pork Belly served on a boat plating.

 
Fragrant Wine Pork Belly has a right balance of lean and belly meat that makes it taste perfectly delicious. Each delectable taste of the meat was well-marinated and tasted awesome!

 
Pork Ball with Double Mushroom in Soya Bean Paste Soup 
 
Yam's Kitchen is the first restaurant that specialised in classic fish tail dishes which had been awarded the Top 100 Singapore Excellence Award in 2012/2013.

 
[Chef's recommendation] Deep Fried Fish Tail (Red Snapper) in Coconut Sauce. It is a popular signature dish of which the fish was deep-fried and the coconut sauce enhanced the overall taste and aroma.

 
The fish meat is crispy on the outside, yet still retains the moisture on the inside. I like the sauce as it was flavorful ,yet it had no MSG added. It tasted like laksa due to the usage of coconut milk. A made-in-Singapore dish, indeed!

 
I love the 3 Treasures Eggs with Vegetables in Superior Stock very much as it requires skills in maintaining the right balance and blend of Salted eggs, Chicken eggs and Century eggs. The added bonus to this dish, was the stock is made of salted eggs which is flavorful yet gives a feeling of satisfaction at the same time.
 
 
Prawns in Spicy Milky Sauce with accompanying of deep-fried Kang Kong at the side.

 
Braised Sea Cucumber with Pig's Trotter needs to be slow cooked for 6 hours in order to bring out the best of this dish.

 
 
Yam's Kitchen Tofu which was topped with Cai Poh & Meat Floss. It was smooth and tasted yummy, and I savored every bit of it.

 
Although Penang Seafood Fried Kway Teow bears a charred texture/aroma but they are not flavorful enough to capture my addiction towards this dish.
 
 
We rounded our food tasting with a refreshing dessert-drink, Honey Lime Juice with Ai-Yu Jelly.

 
If you are in the area, if want to try out REAL awesome cze char food-fare that will not go wrong, then Yam's Kitchen is an good choice to ease your craves.
 
 Good things need to be shared!

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.

[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

The common scalp problems can cause a lot of irritation, but also hair loss. I was in complete shock at the state of my nightmarish infected scalp! One must make a huge effort to take good care of your scalp. Hence here I am at Jonsson Protein for their signature VE Protein Hair Treatment. Although there are many hair products to cleanse my scalp, it is better to head to a professional. The scalp treatments in a salon would cost you more than shelf products but it is worth the investment! Always remember that having a healthy scalp is the most important element in ensuring that your hair in a healthy and top notch condition!   The benefit of scalp treatment is not just to have shiny luscious locks, it also helps to regulate sebum production, remove dandruff, eliminates impurities and dead skin cells, and prevents hair loss/hair follicles.   The therapist scanned my hair to show me on what hair problems I presently have. She also explained that my scalp was pretty oily, and my scal
