Guess my favourite :> Sometimes I feel bad for eating these pregnant fishes but they do taste so amazing. Anyone else loves how fish roe pops in your mouth? I hate that usually when you order Unagi in Singapore, its usually not fresh and has a very mushy texture. So I was pleasantly surprised when Sushi Mentai served up this mean bowl of Unagi Don that was so fresh and delicious! They do some real good pork Katsu! (P.S Sushi Mentai is not Halal in SG, but in Malaysia, there's no pork and lard in all their stores). Even their Jap curry is authentic.

With skin cells constantly plumped with moisture, dull and tired skin will become firmer, more supple and radiant. Oily skin: This series can help to regulate oil and moisture level in the skin. One of the common reasons of having oily skin is because the skin lacks of moisture and thus, our skin produces oil sebum on its own to moisturize and nourish the skin. Thus, Bio-essence Hydra Tri-Action products are able to replenish and retain moisture in skin, to prevent skin from producing its own oil sebum. Dry skin: This series contains superior hydrating active ingredients which provides adequate moisture and locks the moisture in the skin. Thus, dry skin will then be intensively hydrated and after use, dry flaky skin will feel smooth and supple. Purchase now at all leading supermarkets and pharmacies!

Oh how I miss getting my skin pampered by Skin Perfect SG! Before I left for my exchange, I made a trip to their newest outlet at Plaza Singapura to get my skin boosted with oxygen. Although the outlet is a smaller branch compared to Liat Towers, its definitely more convenient with the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station situated in the same building! The Pure Oxygen Facial ($188) promises superior hydration for your skin, promoting healthy cell growth and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles! The best part, no downtime and your skin is fresh, supple and hydrated by the end of the treatment. I know how my previous post didn't have much pictures so this time, I made sure to take tons of selfies during the treatment process! After a simple cleansing and scrubbing to remove my makeup, I go through the steaming process, to open up my pores. I've always hated manual extractions cause they hurt. But well, beauty comes at a price huh. The oxygen machine is rolled in and ready to be infused into my face! The cool oxygen mist is applied using a nozzle. This ensures that the oxygen penetrates the skin a lot easier and deeper! The therapist also made it a point to focus on the areas just below the eye. My favourite part, the massage! It's always so soothing. The therapist then goes off to prepare the mask. She applies the formula on with a brush. I know I look horrendous now, but I'd look beautiful later ~
The mask formula actually hardens on your face and is really cooling. Those bits are actually lavender and they use an in-house formula. I laid there for 20 mins with the mask on, falling asleep a couple of times because it just was so comfortable in there! The mask is then removed and followed up with some toner application as well as a quick neck and back massage. Overall, I just cant wait to be back in Singapore to replenish the moisture content in my skin! It gets really really dry here in Canada.

For those who have stuck with me throughout the last 3 months,
you would have seen Jean Yip perform incredible hair transformations for me. I was absolutely thrilled when approached by Jean Yip because I knew I could entrust my hair into their hands. However, I somehow had the impression that Jean Yip normally stays on the safe side, producing the normal everyday kinda looks with browns, blacks and reds. Nevertheless I was excited to be part of the journey and my my, was I pleasantly surprised. I walked into their salon at Raffles City, sporting a head of blue (previously done by Des Chow) and that probably inspired them to go a little more crazy with me. Here's a recap on the amazing looks they did for me! Red + Purple
I've always wanted purple hair, and they made my dream come true.
It was a red purple mix, I fell in love immediately.
Went out for a shoot immediately once we were done with the hair.
Was glad to be working with photographer Terence! Check out his work on IG, he shot for Asia's Next Top Model!
I know my hair looks red but I swear it was a lot purple too.
I honestly think the colours faded into each other, and eventually became this beautiful rose gold colour.
Was definitely ready for my next app to see what other magic Jean Yip could do for my hair.
Multi-colour
Originally, my hair stylist Dennis wanted to give me a safer colour.
But then his supervisor came over and recommended to do a multi coloured head for me and me always being open to try new things said okay. I had to bleach away the red and purple and after sitting in the salon for like idk 6 hours or so? I walked out with this.
I didn't quite know what to do with this colour, it became rather hard to match my clothes and I worried that it made my hair look unhealthy.
Had to bleach twice before achieving this colour. Thankfully they applied lotsa hair treatment for me, if not my hair would have had broken off a lot more. Nevertheless, it was definitely an achievement unlocked and a bucket list checked off. #yolo Styling for photoshoot w Hayden
Hayden wanted a very strong look for the shoot so we decided to gel up my fringe all the way to the back.
The colours looked so so good in the light and on camera! Black w tinges of blue
It looks black at first glance, but I swear it has some blue in it.
My hair stylist had to mix a few different coloured dyes together to cover up the different colours in my previous multi-coloured hair. He doesnt even know how to recreate this colour anymore hahahah but he likes the end result. It's been a really long time since I had colour as tame as this and wasn't quite used to it. My mum kept bugging me to come over to Canada with a more decent crown of glory so I did it her way.
NO BLEACHING WAS DONE. (they said my hair couldn't take anymore bleaching hahahah)
Which I was pretty impressed by, but that also means the colours will fade off and reveal the previous colours underneath. Which is what is happening right now.
You can totally see the green hues but I've gotten compliments for my hair on the first day of school so I'm not complaining :>
I like the brown parts at the top too hehe.
Here's a big shoutout to the team at Raffles City Jean Yip, thank you for all the love.
They are such awesome, nice people who are very professional and full of experience. Book your next hair appt with them and you won't be disappointed! Oh, they also do nails in that outlet, so be prepared to leave feeling super pampered. Jean Yip is currently running a $60 Colour and Maxiphlex treatment promo! Maxiphlex is Jean Yip's new treatment and is well known for treating coloured hair. I've tried it myself and it really moisturised my hair, making me less guilty for all that my hair has been put through For more info, head over to their Facebook Jean Yip SG and Twitter Jean Yip Group
This review will be brought to you by Joash and I, so it'll be an #AyeJayThang!
Hopefully, this will be the start of our couple series so you guys can enjoy our different perspectives! We had the chance to try out House of Roasted Duck, which has 2 branches in Singapore; at Jalan Sultan's Sultan Plaza (newly opened in June 2016!) and Bugis Village. They serve authentic Hong Kong cuisine, priding themselves in their roasted delights such as the Peking Duck and Roasted Duck. However, we were pleasantly surprised that their other dishes were just as good too!
Her: The wantons are freshly wrapped everyday and served in a premium broth that's boiled for over 5 to 6 hours. I love how crunchy the Shrimp Wantons are and how they remind me of Hong Kong with every bite!
My mum said they looked really good even just in the photos! When she finally had a chance to try a bowl, she was bowled over. (see what I did there? HAHAHA)
Her: I've always had trouble deciding between which of the two styles of duck to have: Roasted or Peking? Roasted Duck has all the juicy meat, but the Peking duck with the crispy skin is just heavenly! At House of Roasted Duck having the best of both worlds is possible!
Him: And having the Peking duck wrapped in the flour crepe 春饼 is definitely one of the must-haves here!
Her: The Barbecued Pork is succulent, and nicely balanced with its sweet and savoury taste!
Her: Their soy sauce chicken is really really good. Its tender and flavourful and MUST be dipped with their special ginger scallion sauce for the perfect taste.
The noodles tend to be on the saltier side because of the sauce, you've been cautioned! Him: The noodles have just the right amount of bite, though.
Her: Mega love for the thick consistency of the porridge! They are also really generous with the ingredients inside this bowl. Special mention to the crispy youtiao! Their congees are painstakingly slow-cooked over a small fire for 3 to 4 hours and uses fresh ingredients as well as premium calrose rice from Australia.
Definitely also my mum's favourite when I brought her here! Him: THIS. If you want your food to massage it's way down to your belly and assure you that all is well in the world. THIS. IS. IT. Gonna' come here and tuck into a bowl of this delicious goodness whenever the world starts becoming too cruel for my fragile soul. (dramatic much)
The interior at the Sultan Plaza branch is really cushy so you'd definitely feel super comfortable and fully enjoy your dining experience there!
Thank you Chef Lau for the delicious meal!
Chef Lau is a native Hong Konger with close to 40 years of local and overseas experience. He was Barbecue chef No. 1 with The Excelsior Hotel & Convention Centre Hong Kong, so he is definitely the connoisseur of roasted delights! Affordably priced, you can enjoy good food at great value! No need to fly to Hong Kong just to enjoy roasted meats and other Hong Kong delights anymore! House of Roasted Duck is a prestigious restaurant by Gao Ji Food, a popular local heritage brand which has 62 years of experience in F&B. They were awarded Singapore Prestige Brand Award - Heritage Brands category from 2013 -2015 and attained the Most Popular Heritage Brand in 2013.

1. Poutine w Peking Duck
As I'd be heading to Canada for my exchange in August, we thought Poutine topped with Peking Duck would be great! Imagine that extra crispiness on top of all that curd, yummy sauce and fries!
2. Peking Duck Pizza
Well, we figured if you can have smoked duck pizza, why not Peking Duck right?
3. If you don't already know how to enjoy this dish,
the best way to enjoy the Peking duck is to take a piece of the small and thin pancake in one hand, put three to four slices of the duck onto the pancake, top off with the vegetables and seasonings provided. Finally, roll up the pancakes with the fillings and eat it!
4. Savoury Mille feuille with alternating layers of crepe and Peking Duck
Would prolly look a bit like this.
5. Peking Duck Lettuce Cups
