Same festive season, same communal dining concept, but different cuisine. How does a Japanese-inspired reunion dinner sound? The three festive menus available cater to groups of 4 to 10 pax and they feature at least eight authentic Japanese dishes including this creative yusheng tower that comes with amaebi, tobiko, kanpachi and salmon. We tried the $666 menu catered for 6-8 people. Read on to find out what to expect!

This is the second time that I'm colouring my hair and Senior Stylist Jeff at Dsire Hair at Far East Plaza, picked a mix of brown, red and violet for me!

Skin Lab Medical Spa @ Wheelock

Sponsored Post


I popped by Skin Lab at Wheelock for my first ever facial treatment ever. I met with Iris for a short consultation session where she took a brief look at my face and could immediately tell that my skin was dry and had a thick layer of dead cells. And all along, I thought my skin was pretty good.. Haha oh the horror. I was given more information on the different treatments available at Skin Lab. They focus mainly on face-related treatments and procedures but also perform slimming procedures and such. I learnt more about fillers, botox and non-surgical facial modifications too

The Laneway Market

 photo PC270731.jpg
I popped by the soft launch of The Laneway Market on 27th December and was really amazed at what Christopher has done with the entire place. From designing the place to coming up with the menu and all, immeasurable amount of hard work has been placed into this pretty cafe. I got to know Chris as he's one of my bakers for Mean Bean & Wicked Grind, and we have grown to become pretty great friends over the months. He pops by Mean Bean quite often and starting learning a little about coffee and the art of making coffee and I can't tell you how proud I am of him and The Laneway Market. And I'm definitely a proud shi-fu to see my disciple grow in his coffee-making hahaha

Insadong Korea Town

Media Invite

 photo PC180570.jpg
Located at Resorts World Sentosa, Insadong Korea Town is possibly the most authentically Korean dining establishment in Singapore. It is a huge project managed by Korean consultants, designed by Korean architects and helmed by Korean chefs. 99% of Insadong, including the floor tiles, are imported from Korea. Needless to say, I was really impressed by the dedication and effort put into the set-up of Insadong. Korean merchandise, from handcrafted souvenirs to local delicacies, are also painstakingly imported and up for sale here.

Teppei Japanese Restaurant

 photo PA098657.jpg
I have wanted to dine here since a year ago but I always missed the reservation date. So when 3rd August came, I finally remembered and called in at 10.30am and I actually managed to get through by 10.37. Only seven minutes. I felt like I was the luckiest person on earth especially when I realised how some have called for hours and not get through. I made a reservation for 4 and I had been counting down to this day ever since!
