Dedicate my very first post of 2021 to @hello.mand Dedicate my very first post of 2021 to @hello.mandoo, the latest addition to the household! Spent the first two weeks of 2021 with this sweet little one and it’s nothing short of amazing. This boy just charm his way to my heart the very first day he arrived at our place. All the head bumps, play catch, morning greets, Kongfu sleeping pose and all his kneads... definitely knows how to bedazzle and train his hooman instead! So we passed the home trial with #KittyThoth, and this beautiful baby is now called Mandoo #만두 ( ‘Dumpling’ in Korean) because, he really does look like a 🥟. His fur colour looks exactly the shade of a mandoo at the food truck outside my studio in Seoul! Though he looks like one with lesser fillings now, we hope to fatten him up soon. 🤣 잘 지내 보자고, 진만두야. #hellomandoo #안녕만두
May your new year be as sweet as the Wildflower La May your new year be as sweet as the Wildflower Latte! 🌹 Food is so-so, but I enjoyed the company and the alfresco seating - for a moment I thought I was in a European garden, and that will do for now. #countmyblessings 요즘 싱가포르에서 되게 핫 하는 카페. 분위기 좋았지만 맛은 그냥 쏘쏘. 숲속에 있으니까 좋은 공기 마시러 온거야. 그래도 wildflower 커피는 귀여워서 올림. . . . #alkaffmansion #wildseedcafe #wildflowerlatte #cupoftheday #coffee #brunch #cafe #singaporecafe #싱가포르 #싱가포르일상 #싱가폴카페 #꽃커피 #familytime
Year end calls for fulfilling all the backlog post Year end calls for fulfilling all the backlog posts! #throwback to my birthday last month where my lovely colleagues surprised me with a bespoke selfie cocktail at @smokeandmirrorsbarsg! 지난달 제 생일 때 직장동료들이 선물 했던 비스포크 칵테일 사진을 이제야 올리네요. 9월 부터 온라인 행사땜에 계속 바빠서 ^^;; Special thanks to the bar to print my photo onto the refreshing cocktail @wondering_edu prepared. I was told this service is not available publicly but check out their official IG. They have interesting drinks blends & DIY gift sets there! 싱가포르 내셔널 갤러리에 위치해 있는 조용한 바인데 한국인들에게 인기가 많아봄. 알고 보니까 #스모크앤미러스 바에서 아직까지 제가 마섰던 셀카 칵테일 없는데 그날에 특별히 해줘나보다 ㅜㅜ 고마워용. 그래도 갤러리 안에서 열린 전시회에 있는 그림이나 직품에서 영감을 얻어 탄생하는 칵테일들이 많아서 아주 특별하고 즐거운 시간을 보내실겁니다. 가시기 전에 꼭 전화해서 예약해 두는것이 좋아요. 테라스 자리 꼭 요청해줘요!!! The bar offers a magnificent view of Singapore’s iconic cityscapes so if you want to #rediscoversingapore please add this bar to your itinerary! (Call and book a seat please, because alfresco seats are super popular!) . . . #smokeandmirrors #singaporebar #singapore #birthday #birthdaycocktail #discoversingapore #bespokecocktail #selfiecocktail #destinationbar #cocktailsg #싱가포르 #싱가포르칵테일 #싱가포르일상 #낯술스타그램 #낯술 #생일선물

Here's one of my favourite K-BBQ places in Singapore if you crave for authentic Korean BBQ! No frills, no alterations of taste, 100% deliciousness!

💕2020.11. For the past 10 years, November would 💕2020.11. For the past 10 years, November would mean travelling. This time every year, I would probably be wandering around the streets of Seoul, then visiting a makgeolli bar or a random local eatery my intuition leads me to...meeting all my friends and loved ones in Korea and reminiscing the years I’ve spent there. This year is a little different but it is ok. I still get my birthday flower, as usual, that’s a blessing 💕 And then the dinner at Zafferano was impeccable. Everything was perfect - the starter, stracciatella cheese, tasted just like how it was during a media tasting years back. I wiped out the entire plate. The fresh seasonal oyster with onion sorbet was a brilliant combination. Our primi - lobster pasta and ravioli, were well executed. And I really enjoyed that juicy, flavourful beef steak. The cioccolato lava cake was another highlight too. It is not too sweet, and the pairing liqueur added a nice, smokey flavour. 2020 has been deeply painful for many of us, but undoubtedly for some much more than others. It has not been the year we expected. It’s been bad, it’s not over yet, but it will get better. #toabetter2021 . . . #anotherbirthday #birthday #blessed #thankyou #zafferanosg #감사일기 #생일꽃다발
Have you ever been to restaurants that their bread Have you ever been to restaurants that their bread basket is so delicious you completely forget about your carb-free diet? @tablescapesg is one of them. I always love spreading their signature butter on their warm, soft and fluffy brioche, cheese buns, onion buns, mini-baguette. So good I am salivating just thinking about it. While dining in the restaurant isn’t an available option now, you can now order their bread & butter set and enjoy at home! It comes with 5 artisanal breads, two types of freshly house-churned butter ( signature butter and lobster butter, 25g x 2 each), and a tube of rich, earthy and aromatic truffle oil. The bread tasted exactly the same as it was in the restaurant - it was so delicious we chomp down the mini bread rolls at one go😆 While I prefer my bread rolls with their signature butter, I believe the lobster butter would be a popular hit among all lobster fans too! The bread and butter set is $48 per set and comes with a beautiful eco bag (see video) which can be recycled as a grocery shopping bag. It would be a nice housewarming gift too.

𝗡𝗼 𝗜𝗣𝗟 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 - just the LIF Device and faithfully following a customisable skincare routine. And the result is crazy - swipe left to see the video - Within 2 months, my skin is more radiant, and I do look a tone fairer. More importantly, look at my neck wrinkles! They are visibly lighter! Both videos are recorded with absolutely no foundation applied. LIF is designed to fit any skincare products. That said, I’ll still recommend you to try it out with DR’s Secret products as they are packed with lush botanical extracts and innovative actives. And LIF helps to penetrate the products deeper into our skin layer, stimulating new collagen and elastin production, two important things to maintain plump & youthful-looking skin. It is a total game-changing experience. For those interested, I’ve shared my skincare routine with LIF in my previous IG TV.
