[media invite] Attended the RAS Epicurean Sar Award 2022

The RAS Epicurean Star Award is back after a long hiatus of 3 years due to the pandemic to give due recognition to the outstanding individuals and establishments from Singapore's F&B industry. Many of them faced many challenges during the pandemic such as rental, supply chain and manpower issues. 


The F&B industry was affected badly by COVID19 for the past 2+ years, and now with the easing of restrictions which has allowed for big events again, the Epicurean Star Award was held in the grand Fairmont Ballroom at Raffles City Convention Centre to celebrate the industry's efforts and achievements. 

This prestigious Star Award is organized by the Restaurant Association of Singapore (RAS) is a highly anticipated celebration to recognize innovative and exciting F&B concepts as well as the people behind them.


I was super honored to be invited to this event as a creator to be part of this glorious celebration! I met up some of my blogger friends at the event too, and there was no better time have a great catch-up session with one another! 



The drumming performance kickstarted the event, and was followed by a welcome address by Mr Andrew Kwan, the President of RAS and an opening address by Guest-of-Honour Dr Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower & Second Minister for Trade and Industry.


The Workforce Resilience Award was given to the companies listed below! 


There was a total of 20 awards that were presented at this event, and the winners were selected by a panel of judges from more than 100 nominations. I was very excited to discover which restaurant/café would be the winner as I was making a list of the best restaurants/cafes that are worth checking out for my future dining venues.

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.

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!

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.

She also explained that my scalp was pretty oily, and my scal
