This is a surprisingly good Thai Food place that I chanced upon when shopping with a friend at 313 Somerset. All other restaurants had quite a long queue, and this seems to be shortest. To my amaze, this place offers really good Thai Food. Chicken Tom Yum Soup is nicely spicy and flavourful. It has really authentic Tom Yum soup taste.  Minced Pork Fried Rice is really flavourful and some tinge of wok hei. Loved it.  Will try other food available when I am back in 313 Somerset 😋 Kin Kao Young  313 Orchard Rd, B2-01/02/03 313, Singapore 238895 1130am - 930pm

Located in Jalan Besar and near competitor Swee Choon, this is an interesting Dim Sum restaurant in Jalan besar.  The popular dish is the signature Pandan Crispy Pork Bun which is a must-try. I find it nice with pandan crust and sweet pork inside, just like other polo bun. Here are other dishes: Nice Char Siew bao but it just lacks the fragrance that I tasted in other restaurants like Paradise dynasty. Crispy crust and delicious mini egg tarts. They are small and bite-size.  This is the Tiffany Blue XL Har Gau. Not sure what makes it blue and it tastes like normal Har Gau to me. The blue isn't very blue, as you can see in the pic above. This is Sichuan Spicy Wonton in Red Oil (红油抄手) which is spicy with vinegar added. This is not my favourite as I have tasted nicer ones in other restaurants like Si chuan Dou hua restaurant.  Other nice mentions are the Yangzhou Fried Rice and the HK style porridge which are too delicious and my friends and I ate it all up before I had...

 With this covid situation stabilizing and wanting to exercise, I went to try out at the Virgin Active Gym in Holland Village.  The Holland Village gym was surprisingly small, because they are smaller than the Fitness First gyms I used to go. There are 2 steppers, 4 track mills, and there are weight machines which you can train your muscles.  They provided gym attires (T-shirt and shorts which are smaller than average)  and socks (which are really comfortable) too. They also have rain shower in their shower room. Disinfectant liquid are placed near gym equipment to allow gym users to wipe down the equipment after use. Hand sanitizers are also available.  As usual, the classes are full and really difficult to book. What I like about it - it provides gym attire - enough lockers - clean shower facilities with rain showers (soap and shampoo available), hair dryer and deodorant for your use  - Disinfectant and hand sanitizer available What I dislike - the gym is...

I bought a Fave deal from fave.com for hair rebond Source:  https://myfave.com/singapore/partners/1gravity  $49 seems a good deal!  So I made an appointment and went to the Tanjong pagar branch - located conveniently in Guoco Tower. It is really convenient, you just walk out from the MRT and find it at #B1-16 The lady who helped me was Belle. She did a great job rebonding my hair with the Bioma Straightening hair treatment but she kept nagging and psycho-ing me to buy a package from her. Really hard sell. I did because I know I need to do regular rebonding. I used it for a few times and finally had a session left. And recently I made an appointment at the Chinatown branch for a change.  The lady serving me was Jess. She said Bioma treatment has lots of chemicals and she recommended the K-Gloss S4 treatment. She kept on raving how good it is, blah blah blah. So ok Bioma rebonding is bad for me, I will try the K-Gloss S4 treatment.  After the treatment, my ha...

 I have always wanted to try this Shrimp Ramen, since I am a fan of Shrimp noodles soup, or Prawn noodles soup some locals like to call it.  So I ordered the Prawn Dumpling Shrimp Ramen 鲜虾水饺赤汤面 $14.90, which I believe has the delicious soup broth of the shrimps and saving the hassle of needing to deal with the shells of the shrimps and bones of the pork ribs. Doesn't look as nice as the picture in the menu right? Haha. From the name Prawn Dumpling Shrimp Ramen, it seems to me they are either confused by the Prawns vs Shrimps, or they are just out to confuse the diners.  Anw here is the difference between prawns and shrimps:  Source:  https://www.thespruceeats.com/difference-between-shrimp-and-prawns-2217280  Back to the ramen, so the ramen really has a so-so only taste.  I have high expectations for the shrimp and prawn ramen, being a prawn noodle soup fan, I thought a restaurant should have better tasting ramen soup then those in the hawker centre. Oh...
