ASOS beauty haul - tiny but I'm so excited!!

ASOS had a beauty sale last week and OF COURSE I HAD TO GET SOMETHING. In this case, I got some things (LOL). I think it was a 30% sale? I really wanted to try liquid foundations from Bourjois and Rimmel and I had to stock up on my Rimmel Pressed Powder! 

I heard SO MANY positive reviews about the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation and thank you ASOS for this sale! I bought it at S$14.83 (original price S$22.79). It would have cost much more in Singapore. CONFIRM. 

My Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder is down to the last bits and I'm so sad, so yay for the sale. Grabbed the opportunity and got my new powder for only S$5.70 (original price S$9.10)!

Finally, I also bought the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation for S$13.69 (original price S$20.51) just because the description of the product intrigued me - "...inbuilt SPF 15 has an anti-fatigue effect with pearlescent properties for an illuminating complexion, concealing imperfections while masking under eye shadows for a flawless finish" Like that confirm buy lah!

Can't wait for them to arrive!! :) Yay new makeup! I always love new makeup!! Okay I need to reorganise my cosmetic cupboard!!

Bangkok 2013!!

Off to Bangkok for 5 days of amazing shopping and food!

I'm planning to do a three-part Bangkok series: accommodation & transportation, food and shopping. Kind of excited to start collecting photos for these posts!

YAY SHOPPING SHOPPING! :)

Review: Skin & Lab Products (Blemished and Acne-prone Skin)

I'm always scouring Qoo10 for skincare and beauty products deals. Of course, I'm not as adventurous as last time where I just buy skincare products online to try them. One unfortunate transaction caused me a terrible breakout and my skin is now is better, but I still have scars (mentally and physically) from that experience. 

That painful experience was partly due to my uneducated purchase. I didn't research; I just wanted to jump on the "snail cream" bandwagon. This time, I read a lot of positive reviews about Skin & Lab products and I wanted to try them out. Especially the Skin & Lab products for blemished and acne-prone skin. 

I bought a duo of the Skin & Lab New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture and Skin & Lab Glacial Clay Facial Mask for S$14.90 (with an additional S$2.50 non-registered mail from S. Korea). You can purchase by clicking this link if you're interested: http://list.qoo10.sg/item/SKIN-LAB-1-1-PROMOTION-PORE-MASK-GLACIAL/403681213#none There's an early bird discount now (S$13.90!), so hurry if you want them! 

The seller is having a 1-for-1 promotion - you buy the Skin & Lab Glacial Clay Facial Mask, and you'll get one other free product. For this month (till 31st October 2013), the free product is the Skin & Lab New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture. 

Skin & Lab New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture

• can treat and prevent dry skin
• improve skin texture
• protect sensitive areas from irritation
• calm blemishes
• hydrate, soften and sooth the skin

There are 3 types of moisturisers from this line (http://list.qoo10.sg/item/SPECIAL-SALE-PREMIUM-WATER-MOISTURIZING/404046797?selectedOptions=): 

1. Skin & Lab Mont Blanc Glacial Water Drop (Normal to oily skin)
2. Skin & Lab Hawaii Deep-Sea Deep Moisture (Dry to sensitive skin)
3. Skin & Lab New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture (oily and dry skin with skin irritation)

For my skin, the third type is the most matching and that's really how my skin condition is right now. I have both really oily and really dry areas with one area (jawline) infested with skin irritation. 

Packaging: I think a regular reader will know and understand my love for products with a pump. The Skin & Lab New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture and so hell yeah, I love it! Moreover, I think after using The Body Shop products, I'm more inclined to favouring products with green packaging. This has a metallic mint-green shade, so yes I'm all in!

Here are some pictures I took from the Qoo10 website: 

It really seems like the perfect moisturiser for my skin! Sadly, I have yet to try it on my face though. So I can't really tell if it really works. I'm trying to clear the whiteheads first before trying out this product, so at least there is no visible skin irritation when I try this product. I'm just scared that I will break out from a new product, so I'm using them cautiously. 

However, I did try them on my neck and my hands. So I'll be basing my review on those areas. 

Main ingredients in the Skin & Lab New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture. All the good things in one small tube.

Product consistency and texture: It has a gel-like consistency and it has an incredibly potent absorbency. No trace of oil whatsoever and once applied, it turns into this pleasant water-gel consistency. You also get this cooling effect just after you smooth out the product, so I'm enjoying the sensation whenever I apply it on my neck.

Moisturising? Definitely yes. I used the Skin & Lab New Zealand Bedrock Water Clearing Moisture on my neck and both hands at night and both areas was well-moisturised and I woke up with no dry patches (usually my hands are extremely dry after sleeping in an air-conditioned room). I really would love to try it out on my face when my irritations have somewhat cleared up!

Did it break me out? So far the only area that's prone to a break out is the upper neck area. I did not have any breakouts even after a week of application. So all's good! I'll update this space again when I use it on my face. *fingers crossed*

The Skin & Lab Glacial Clay Facial Mask was the product that I was excited about. I read quite a few of reviews complimenting this product and a couple which stated a "no-effect" review. There was no negative (among those that I read) reviews and so I really wanted to try it!

It's great if you have:

• really oily skin
• but also really dry skin at some areas
• skin that looks cakey after applying makeup (due to dead skin cells)

I'm definitely all 3 of the above. That's why I was so eager to try this product out! 

The five main treatments from Skin & Lab Glacial Clay Facial Mask: 

Packaging: It has a very sanitary packaging. You get a mini spatula to take out the amount of product that you want to use. You get a plastic cover that separates the product from the cap; hygienic and helps in keeping the product moist. Clay masks dry out really easily, so you must ensure that you cover the product with the given lid and close the cap tightly. 

Product consistency and texture: It's like green mud with bits of salt particles. It's quite solid, so spreading it on your face can be quite tough at the beginning, but your fingers will warm the product so it will gradually get easier to spread and blend. I actually like the grainy texture. It helps to exfoliate when you wash off the product so it's easier to remove. The Skin & Lab Glacial Clay Facial Mask dries up in 15-20 minutes so if there were no grainy bits, it'll be more difficult to remove!

Fragrance: You can't be expecting a floral or fruity scent to come out of this product right? Simply said, it smells like potent herbal tea, with a hint of mud. It's not for the faint-hearted, but it grows on you. I'm used to this smell already. If you have acne problems, you should be used to all these funky smells.

Did it work? A word of warning: when you first apply it, it will sting. Yes you know about clay masks and the tingling sensation. This brings the sensation to a whole new different level. It simply STINGS. Your entire face feels like it's being prickled by millions of tiny needles. Sounds major scary right? I was so scared for my skin when I used it for the first time!

But don't worry, the tingly sensation will gradually disappear within the first 5 minutes and after that it just feels cooling and then it will feel tight when all the product has dried up.

I was so scared my skin was going to have red patches the first time I used it. I immediately washed it off after 15 minutes and to be frank I was quite amazed at how smooth my cheek area was. There was no redness and the pores around my nose actually didn't look that obvious anymore.

A couple of hours later, my existing whiteheads DRIED UP. They were no longer the painful almost-going-to-erupt bumps, but they became shriveled bumps. WOW. The next day, I was dealing with dry pimples and I'd rather handle that than erupting volcanoes.

For areas that have slight bumps or a slight sign of infection, the Skin & Lab Glacial Clay Facial Mask will bring them to the whitehead stage much much much faster. I don't really like how it brings out the whiteheads, but I can't really blame the product since I have too much skin infections right?

Overall impression: I will give this a very high 9 out of 10. The smell is not terrible (terrible to some, but not me), it works in controlling the excess sebum, minimising pores and drying out the whiteheads. Definitely a future repurchase for me!

The seller was really kind and included the below samples too! I think I'm passing the Red Serum to my mom because it's more for anti-ageing.

Have a great work week ahead guys! I'll be going to Bangkok on Thursday. CAN'T WAIT!! :D

Saveur at Far East Plaza

Finally, after months (maybe years now?) of empty promises, I have tried the affordable yet gobsmackingly delicious food from Saveur. I feel really stupid and I blame myself for not going to Saveur earlier!

No more random words. PHOTOS.

FIRST UP, how can we not have the Saveur's Pasta? The one listed on the menu is the appetizer size (S$4.90). However, you can actually upsize your pasta to a main course size just for S$2 more! I'm glad I made that decision because I will never share this pasta with ANYONE. ALL MINE. Ok maybe I gave Jeremy a couple bites but he gave me a huge chunk of duck so it all balanced out (rambling non stop as usual).

The pasta was fragrant, very much like aglio olio but without the overwhelming garlic flavour. My favourite part of the dish was the minced pork sauce. Somehow it tasted like an elevated pork paste. I wish I have a plate of this in front of me now *drools*.

Both Yinghui and I ordered the Saveur's Pasta. Jeremy, on the other hand, was a little more adventurous and he went for the Duck Leg Confit (S$12.90). It was so so so good. Personally, I'm not a fan of duck. I fear the weird smell and sometimes I find the meat quite gamey. Obviously I have been eating duck cooked by people who didn't know how to handle duck professionally??? This plate was simply excellent. Every component was delicious. The homemade mashed potato - so flavourful and not bland at all. The sauteed shitake mushrooms - stellar and cooked perfectly. The orange infused natural jus - brings the dish to another different level, not to mention very atas le this "jus" haha. Of course, the star of the dish - the duck leg confit - was undoubtedly the STAR of the dish. The skin is super crispy and the meat is just unbelievably tender. No weird smell, no weird texture (that comes from improper handling), just heavenly. Even though this was one of the more expensive dishes in Saveur, it's worth every cent!

We ended our delicious meal, regrettably, with a plate of Chocolate and Hazelnut (S$7.90). When the dish came, we were just staring at it for around 5 seconds. We are eating a MASTERPIECE?! Best chocolate mousse EVER. You get chocolate mousse with crushed hazelnuts, broken raspberries, roasted rice puffs, chocolate tuile and praline. BEAUTIFUL. It was gobbled up within minutes haha.

I definitely enjoyed my dinner at Saveur. Can't wait for my next visit there!

Word of caution though, no reservations can be made through phone/email. You have to be there in person to reserve your table at your chosen timing. Do that, or wait in line.

Review: Daiso Eyeshadow Palette and Blushers

Every single time I walk in to Daiso, I will step out with a plastic bag filled with some ... random things that I don't need. It doesn't help that I live so near a Daiso outlet. Daiso is just magical! HEEHEE. 

So it was one of those days - I stepped into Daiso with no specific goal in mind. Then, I found these babies - a brown shimmery eyeshadow palette that looks mega gorgeous and blush palettes! These were S$2 each only so I had to get them!!

Just wait till you see the swatches. These products are SPECTACULAR. Two bucks???!!! The quality of these products are so much better than products that cost almost 10-20 times more! 

First up, Daiso Special! Mix Cheek Powder in Pink and Magic.

Packaging: SO PRETTY! Even for a product that retails at S$2 (or 100-110yen), the packaging still looks pretty darn good. It's really sturdy too. I dropped one a few weeks ago and the product was intact. No damages anywhere. I dropped it from quite a height, so yes I'm very impressed!

Daiso Special! Mix Cheek Powder in Pink - a combination of a shimmery white, a muted pink, a coral and a coral red.

Daiso Special! Mix Cheek Powder in Magic - a combination of a muted pink, a shimmery pink purple, a light red and a cool-toned purple.

GORGEOUS.

Pigmentation: Goodness gracious me. Were you expecting non-existent pigmentation? Certainly not with these blushers. A little goes a long way! I also love how moderately powdery the blushers are. The product is easily picked up by a blush brush and it applies beautifully.

Application: Beautiful and effortless application with a blush brush. Shimmers are not too in-your-face and the shimmers actually help to accentuate the right places. Application was not streaky at all. Basically, it's a product that works extremely well and to be honest I wouldn't have guessed the blushers were bought from Daiso.

Longevity: The blushers are quite long-lasting. I give it around 5-6 hours of wear before it starts to fade. At the end of a long 10-hour day, I could still spot the blusher on my cheeks!

Will I buy it again? Heck yeah! Daiso, please provide us with more and more and MORE shades!!!

Pink on the left, Magic on the right (Sorry for not labelling my photos :S)

Pink on the left, Magic on the right. 

Next is the Daiso Eye Shadow Palette in Brown.

If you are someone who loves neutral shimmery eyeshadow shades, please get this. Just get it!!

Packaging: Less fancy than the blushers, but it will do. The sponge-tip applicators are not great though. Mine fell apart after 4-5 uses?

Pigmentation: I'll let the photos below do the writing. I'm speechless at how this palette costs only S$2.

This kind of pigmentation level is definitely on par with high-end brands. It's so unbelievable! When I swatched this, I had a winning-the-lottery kind of emotion. A bit drama-mama, but trust me, I have never paid S$2 and received 6 beautifully pigmented eyeshadows.

Application: I tried two ways of application - with my trusted eyeshadow brush and with my finger. Applying the eyeshadows with a brush can be a little tricky, especially for the glittery white and the shimmery black. A good advice will be to use the eyeshadow brush and gently pat the product on your eyelids first. If you swipe the product on your eyelids straight away, you will get nothing but fall-outs. Not pretty. For those who want a less dramatic look, it'll be good to use your finger to apply the eyeshadow. Works like magic and the eyeshadows blend better.

Longevity: I'm not overly over-the-moon about the longevity of these eyeshadows. I applied the dark shimmery brown in the morning, and by around 4pm, the colour is not that obvious anymore. But hey, I'm not going to whine about it because there are many more expensive eyeshadows which have the same problem.

Will I buy it again? As of now, I only saw the purple and the brown palette. I don't really fancy purple so I'm not going to get that palette. However, if Daiso sells an orange-red palette, or a gold palette, or even a green-brown palette, I definitely will get them!

HOORAY DAISO!! :D

Review: The Body Shop Tea Tree Products

Another post illustrating my emotional attachment to acne-busting products. I used to really hate my skin and really really REALLY hate going out. But you know what, I can't control the sporadic appearances of these monsters, so it's time to GET ON WITH LIFE. 

Currently, I'm back on Doxycycline and taking my vitamin E and Bio Ace Plus supplements (please do not take these three pills TOGETHER, you will get a nausea attack). The first night I took Doxycycline pill was not a pleasant night. First of all, I had a migraine attack the entire day, then I consumed that bloody pill and I sacrificed my sleep. I spent the entire night trying to find the perfect posture in which lying down would not add pressure to my aching head. It didn't work obviously. However, after that, doxycycline pills have been really nice to me. 

My war with acne (hormonal acne, adult acne, whatever names those monsters have) is currently ongoing and I'm slowly getting used to it. So be gone acne! But it's okay if you take time to go away, just DON'T EVER COME BACK. 

I was out of moisturisers last week and I was sick of big brands promising these acne-clearing claims (obviously didn't work) so I decided to settle for a brand that has been long in the market and has relatively great reviews online - The Body Shop Tea Tree products. 

The Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion (50ml) and Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion (30ml) retail for S$29.90 each, but I got them on promotion - S$39.90 for the set. The Tea Tree Oil (10ml) retails for S$18.90, but the ever awesome Kengyang helped me purchase it at The Body Shop Warehouse Sale for S$9.90! :D

Here's the thing that I like about The Body Shop products - they don't try to blind you with definitive claims. "PIMPLES BE GONE IN 7 DAYS!", "PORE-LESS SKIN IN A WEEK!", nope, they don't do that. Of course, that doesn't mean that they have no promises at all. They do, but they don't make a promise so big that it will backfire so terribly if the promise is not fulfilled. Smart.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion is now my go-to morning moisturiser. It contains:

• Organic tea-tree oil: anti-bacterial benefits, great for blemished skin
• Tamanu oil: promote healthy-looking skin and great for moisturising
• Lemon tea tree: (why do I think of the song Lemon Tree? LOL) anti-bacterial + zesty fragrance

The product description is really quite simple, with no fancy big jargons to dazzle you:

• Hydrate
• Help clear and prevent blemishes
• Shine control
• Skin appears matte

Consistency: I really like how water-like this product is. It feels like I'm applying a gel, and then it smoothes out to a really pleasant watery consistency. No oily feeling, no sticky hands.

Fragrance: I'm still getting used to the smell. I'm alright with the smell of tea tree oil. In fact, I love the smell! However, this has an added bark-like smell to it. Perhaps from the tamanu oil? Sometimes when I'm having a headache, the smell makes it worse. But other than that, I definitely can get used to the smell.

Did it work?

• It definitely hydrates without being too over-the-top. It's great for oily skin! Also, I love how it dries so quickly. The product's gel-like consistency allows for even application, and then once it turns into this water-like texture, it get sucked in by the skin so so quickly! 
• This definitely makes my skin less oily and shiny. It's quite obvious, especially when I have my full face makeup on. Usually at around 10-11am, I will notice oiliness around my T-Zone area, but after using this product, I notice that the oiliness will appear only after lunch or so? Not a marked improvement but there's definitely an improvement!
• I'm still unable to determine if The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Lotion helps to clear my blemishes or not. Doxycycline is actually making skin go through a purging situation now, so I still get my spots here and there, especially the jaw area. However, it's not as painful anymore, so that's good right?

Next up is The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion. It also has become a staple in my nightly skincare routine. 

It contains the same key ingredients as the first product, but I'm guessing there are a few other products included to enable scar-fading benefits. 

So, the product aims to:

• Improve appearance of blemish-damaged skin
• Equalise oiliness
• Replenish moisture throughout the night

Packaging: This has a pump attached to it and I love it when my products have a pump. So convenient and you can control the amount that you use. Super great right! Moreover, it helps to make application more hygienic!

Consistency: The stark difference between this night lotion and the clearing lotion is the consistency of the product. The night lotion has a thicker consistency that feels kind of luxurious. It still does not feel oily or sticky at all. The gel-creme consistency is an extremely endearing one because after removing your makeup, and cleansing, your skin needs something with double the moisture to bring it back to equilibrium. This definitely does the trick!

Fragrance: This has a stronger tea tree fragrance than the clearing lotion. I quite enjoy applying this on my face - the smell calms me down!

Did it work?

• This DEFINITELY works. As above-mentioned, my skin is still purging out the toxins right now so technically I cannot judge the product on its skin-clearing properties. However, my scars are really fading! I have A LOT of acne scars and my bare skin is really unpleasant to look at. This night lotion has made everything a little bit more positive and even though I have new pimples every two days, I can see the improvement in the scars of previous pimples. So, I'm definitely sticking to this product! 
• The night lotion also provided ample moisture for my terribly damaged skin. I have a really weird skin. The oil glands are overworking, but at the same time my skin is dry at some areas. CONFUSED SKIN. This product gave my skin that boost of moisture so that I don't wake up with flaky skin. So I'm a convert!

Lastly, The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil. This is perhaps the most well-known product from The Body Shop (other than the body butters). It has won numerous awards globally and you can't mess with global recognition right? 

It does two things, and perhaps two things only:

• Help clear blemishes quickly
• Soothe blemished skin

Packaging: This is a really tiny product. 10ml only, however a little goes a long long long way. It seems a bit cuckoo to be paying almost S$20 for 10ml but hey! You don't need a lot per application, so I guess it's still affordable, especially when you compare it to high-end brands that expect more moolahs for less product.

Consistency: It's just like oil. Not oily oil, but absorbed-to-skin-very-quickly oil. Does that make sense? No. But you get the point. Ok. NEXT.

Fragrance: Lovely. Simply lovely. It's just pure unadulterated tea tree oil fragrance. I feel so calm after I apply this product!

Did it work?

• First of all, can I just say how much I love how minty (?) and cooling this product feels on the skin? It feels so nice! Double-edged sword alert though because if you have an open acne scar, applying this product will induce a sharp pain. Not long-lasting pain, but one that's enough to make you close your eyes/tear a little. 
• It's great in drying those crazy monsters up. The Tea Tree Oil is not a miracle product. It will not vanish a zit in a night. It will, however, dry it up good and within 3 days, your zit should be so dry it can detach itself (weird phrasing here but just imagine a zit drying up animation and you'll get it). Moreover, it has anti-bacterial properties! Great for the areas around the zit! 

This was such a long post, oh dear dear. I feel slightly lethargic and I need a dosage of coffee. 

At the moment, I still have pimples sprouting here and there, however, the above products are working their magic in calming my skin down. So I'm determined to continue using these products! I think I'll be repurchasing the Night Lotion when I'm out of it! Great product! 

Okay, weekend's over. Get some rest and have a good night guys! :) 

Etude House Warehouse Sale 2013 Haul

I chanced upon the Etude House Warehouse Sale at Tanjong Pagar Xpress and the salesgirl told me it's the last day today. So yes, I grabbed the opportunity to get some of the Etude House products that I have always wanted but never bought because of how ridiculously expensive the retail prices were.

These Dear My Deep Color Nails nailpolishes were going for 2 for S$4. 

The Proof 10 Mascara was S$10. 

The Proof 10 Liquid Liner was S$7, and the Oh~ m'Eye Lash Petticoat was S$3!  

Lastly, I got the Lovely Cookie Blusher for S$5! 

Can't wait to use them all! Some Etude House products are really of great quality, but seriously the retail prices are wayyy too marked up! I'm sure yes we are paying for shop rental, import costs etc., but aiyoh it's supposed to be a drugstore brand, no? I don't want to pay department store prices for a drugstore product!

So hooray to warehouse sales!! If you still want to grab some Etude House stuff, the sale is still ongoing till about 8pm tonight! I don't think they will be restocking any more items though, so expect a limited variety of products.

I need to get my hands on the Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette!!!

Urban Decay better stop tempting me with all these amazing product launches!! I have always been obsessed with Urban Decay eye products, and every single time they launch a new eye product, my heart does a little dance, and then it dies a little because my brain refuses to convince myself to get it.

 

I decided to skip on the Urban Decay Vice Palette and I was about to forget the sorrow when Urban Decay launches Vice 2. ARGH. It doesn't help that all the major beauty bloggers around the world have got their hands on this baby and they all have glorious swatches on their blogs. Sigh.

 

So I have decided that, perhaps, I really need the Vice 2 Palette?

 

To be really honest, I have too many eyeshadows. I think I have enough eyeshadows to last me for many many many lifetimes. That's why I keep stopping myself from buying more!

 

Maybe I need to make an exception. ARGH HOW TELL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO. :(

 

The Urban Decay Vice 2 Palette has nice packaging, humongous mirror, GORGEOUS shades (and all 20 shades are ALL NEW shades), unique opening button (you press and the case slowly opens WOW) and a legit double-ended, cruelty-free (YAY!) shadow/crease brush.

 

How can I pass this up right?!?!?! OH! And this is also limited edition. OMG another reason to buy!

 

Just look at the photos. JUST LOOK.

 

All photos taken from the wonderful Urban Decay website. 

 

There are so many swatches floating around the internet, but I still love love love Temptalia's post on this.

Do visit these links for her amazing swatches!

It retails for S$88 at Sephora!

Any of you guys loving this too? Which are your favourite shades? Do let me know and we can go gaga together heeheeeee.

Recent gluttony

Wake up.

Coffee.

Occasional exercising.

That's how my weekdays look like. Very mundane indeed, but wait till I list out what I do during lazy weekends - SLEEP, WATCH VIDEOS, EAT, BATHE, SLEEP. No more. 

It's also October. We are 10 months into 2013. I don't understand how the universe works. Like why is time passing so quickly when you're busy AND when you're doing nothing? I thought I just started work? I thought I was still waiting for my first ever pay cheque? Now I'm 4 months into my job. WOAH. 

Anyway, here are some photos of my recent food intake. Nothing too fancy, but finding good food or eating new things excites me these days. 

The new McDonalds breakfast burger - delicious but that extra dollop of mayonnaise was really unnecessary. 

Song Fa Bak Kut Teh - I love it because it's so near my office and it's great for those dreary rainy days.

I was ill two weeks ago and so I tried to eat bland food. This was anything but bland, haha. However, it's healthy - tofu + egg! - so yay!

Imba pork chop from a Clementi hawker centre - this was super yummy and extremely affordable. I always love to eat cheap food from hawker centres, but wah sometimes the weather really cannot tahan. :(

Xi Men Jie (Westmall) - The curry was wtf gooey. Kengyang was not impressed AT ALL. The fried chicken was good enough though. And the fried squid was great too! That glue-texture curry really killed the whole experience. =_=

Maxwell Food Centre always have hidden gems! I wanted to eat something new for lunch and decided to try a no-queue Thai food stall. My basil chicken rice was SO GOOD. Why no one queueing for it ah?

Singapore really is a food paradise. OMNOMNOM. Now I'm really missing a good plate of Indonesian fried rice. Or maybe a really spicy bowl of Tom Yum Goong. It's 10pm! FOOD FOOD COME TO MY DREAMS!!
