Dinner at Casa Roma Ristorante Italiano + Lam's Garden

Image
On a random weekend, we made use of the generous dining deal from the 'eatigo app' to enjoy a 20% discount on our Italian fare at Casa Roma Ristorante Italiano which is located at The Grandstand.   Italian cuisine tends  to be slightly pricey as compared to other cuisines, but the prices at the Casa Roma seemed to be more comfortable to our pockets than other Italian eateries.   On top of that, I was given an additional SGD20 cash voucher as well to further offset my meal damage! We only paid SGD41 in total after all the discounts and deductions, which made our damage a very affordable one! Baby and I brought HayBoy to the Pepper Lunch's Teppan City Venture , and it was the first ever pop up art installation in Asia! It was located at the  Capitol Building . We received a SGD5 Pepper Lunch voucher each after completing answering the questionnaire on all the stations at the event premises. We also received some Pepper Lunch premiums too! Tha...

A hiking date at The Rail Corridor + Instagram-worthy Bistro at SAFRA Yishun

Image
On a random weekend, RKM went out on a late afternoon hiking date at The Rail Corridor.  We simply couldn't resist taking a selfie against the truss bridge, as is it was perfect for an Instagram-worthy photo! I took quite a number of OOTDS at the truss bridge! On these truss bridges, there are two that have been conserved as heritage sites. These historic bridges are a rare sight in Singapore, and you can them along Bukit Timah Road near the railway station and near The Rail Mall at Upper Bukit Timah Road.    We walked to Singapore Quarry and I took a tired yet hilarious photo as wearing a mask to hike is no joke. I totally hate this feeling, so please consider allowing us to take off our masks while walking in an open air nature reserve areas! We are moving out of the northern part of Singapore soon, so Baby and I are trying to explore as many food gems and interesting food venues as possible in the up north of Singapore such as Yishun, Woodlands or Sembawang. Baby ca...

[random] Foodies' Paradise

Image
My OOTD! Baby brought me to  Nam Kee JB Handmade Pau, which is located at 'The  Grandstand' where the old turf club used to be, for a dinner! We had a simple meal to conclude our Fri-date! for dinner. I met up with Meryl on a non-working day for lunch. We settled for a meal at a cafe named ' Saturday House' . Although we seldom see each other, we are still in each other’s heart, and that’s what friends are for! I was so happy to see her again.  I had the Aglio Olio pasta, while Meryl had Carbonara pasta. We shared the Truffle Fries between us. We had an enjoyable meal time together. Thanks so much for the companionship! The damage was SGD50, which I  felt was kinda on the high side. Entering the blogging sphere way back in 2010 has been a great experience for me. During my journey of blogging, I am blessed to meet some fellow bloggers who have since becomes my close good friends/buddies! Re...

A night with Intel Singapore at PasarBella

Image
I attended the Intel Singapore event at the PasarBella, Grandstand.   Thanks Intel Singapore for the invite and the lovely goodies bag! I love the rustic look of the bag as it gives a 'going for grocery shopping' feeling.     Nowadays, performance and fast speed is the key feature when purchasing any device, as browsing the web, watching videos, playing games and even getting connected with people or friends are part of our daily lifestyle.   We were introduced to Intel's core processors which are based on a 64-bit architecture instead of the 32-bit. With this support, they can compute more data as compared to a 32-bit processor. The 64-bit setting gives better performance, so therefore in short, it gives the device more power than 32-bit.   So what is a core? A core is the part of a processor that process instructions for the computer.   After the presentation, we were invited to participate in a food hun...

New hair color for Jess Baby + random doings

Image
Recently, I just got my hair colored at my usual hairdo haunt, Papilio . I was first introduced to this salon through flowerpod forum , and I fell in love with their service as well as the results I received. Their charges for hair treatments and services are pretty decent and affordable! I paid SGD120 for hair color, treatment and trimming! On top of that I was also given a bottle of intensive hair serum, POWERDOSE COLOR by L'Oreal Professional and a cash voucher worth SGD20 for my next visit. I think I will probably do my hair treatment there from now on.   As usual, on weekends, we will normally drive in to Malaysia, and we did. We drove into Taman Mount Austin , and we had our afternoon tea at Auntie Lim Cafe . Baby ordered a glass of Banana Milk Shake and Ham and Egg Sandwiches. I ordered the recommended dish from the menu, Chives Pancakes , and with the spicy dipping black sauce, the pancakes tasted GREAT! The damage was RM21-i...
