Clothes Blog Shops and Websites Review

There are too many blog shops out there. Some are good, while many are scams so beware. I have decided to do reviews of the blogshops and websites which I have tried and are good (1) Dressabelle This website has a wide range of blouses, dresses and accessories. New arrivals are introduced twice weekly, which means you get to choose new clothes weekly :) Delivery is free for postage in Singapore and it takes about 1 week.  Tips:  - Watch out for their sales. Dresses can drop below $30! - Sign up for an account,  visit their website daily and get their 'balloons' which can be exchanged for a discount voucher (2) Qoo10 This is not really a website for clothes, but an online retailer where you can find lots of items from fashion to IT gadgets. Nevertheless, there are clothes that are affordable and good. However, depending on the delivery option you choose, it can take up to 2 weeks.  Tips: - Look for items listed in the Time Sales/Daily Deal/Group...

Menya Muashi Ramen Review (Raffles City Branch)

Image
Went to the Menya Muashi at Raffles City Level 1 after hearing how good it was, from my friend. There are 3 types of Ramen as well - the white (original),  black (Black garlic oil) or Red (spicy) Or you can order the Tsukemen, which is the dry kind of ramen not commonly found in other Ramen restaurants in Singapore. I tried their Spicy Cha Shu Ramen 2pcs ($11.90++). It was quite delicious, not too spicy. Cha Shu was soft, soup was full of flavour. Free Hojicha which was quite tasty, quite apt drink for an evening dinner. The tea was refilled regularly, service was good too. One not so good thing was however, that after the dinner, I went home feeling quite thirsty the whole night. They must have added quite a lot of MSG. Will I go back again? Maybe to try the Tsukemen :P Overall Rating: 3.5/5 Address: #01-16, Raffles City Shopping Centre Tel: 6336 6500
