Suntec City - Food (Part I)

11:44 PM

So Suntec City has recently been renovated and it is now a major difference from when I use to work and hang out there.

It is beyond recognition (well, in a good way), and I can't wait to explore this place all over again.

Thank to New Look SG and OMY Blog Club's invite to the event

(click HERE if you've not heard about the amazing collection and discount)

I spent some time just walking around the area with Cynthia and back again the next day with my family just because I can't believe the huge difference I'm seeing.

Without dragging this any longer, Let's Get Startedddd~

So on part 1 of my journey (I suppose there's more to come), I visited:

1. PACK'D

Pack'd is a newly opened cafe at the basement of Suntec.

One thing I really love about this place is the setting of the cafe.

It is precisely because they don't seem to have a proper shop space like the rest that caught my eyes.

The furniture and all made us feel like we were enjoying food in the garden (with aircon, omg)

If only they used carpet grass across their shop, omg it'll be perfect!

Since I wasn't really hungry and it was probably close to 3pm, I settled with a light yoghurt granola.

I feel so bad for the staff who had to handle my indecisiveness. (Oops)

I surprisingly like the greek yoghurt they used

(cause I hate the one I have at home, it taste like cream cheese. can you imagine putting spoons of cream cheese in your mouth, gosh.)

I swear I'll be back to try out their sandwiches cause the sandwiches look good but I didn't want to forgo dinner the other day and all cause I just love the decor too much.

Too adorbs to resist.

So for the time being, these are some other food that they provide to give you a rough idea

PACK'D

#B1-169/170 Suntec City Mall

3 Temasek Blvd

S(038983)

2. New York Grand Kitchen

We were actually fretting over what to have for lunch since it was a last min decision to head over to Suntec.

BUT

this place just attracted us in with what sounds like the best offer..

FREE FLOW SALAD BAR

of course with every purchase of a meal

This probably doesn't do the salad bar any justice but the moment I saw the pasta salad and potato salad (oh! and chips with avocado sauce or sth) you've lost me.

My phone went into my pocket immediately and my hands were busy holding on to those plates

(oops, sorry :/)

You are definitely not in the right mind if you're dining here and not having at least a small plate of something from their large selection of free-flow salad (or you probably aren't Singaporean enough)

So, this is what I had: Pork and chicken with cajun sauce.

I really love the meat but I feel like I regret on the sauce.

Simply because I didn't know Cajun seemed similar to Tomato sauce

(don't judge me, I think they're similar)

But this is a good try if you're there, it's so cute how the food is presented on a cutting board (?)

Dad had this salmon, seafood thingy which was super eye catching the moment it arrived

THE COLOUR COMBI OF THIS PLATING IS JUST SOOOO PRETTYYY!

Can't take your eyes of it can't you?!

My sis had this beef with wrap kind of thing

I'm sorry the photo doesn't do it justice

I wish I had a little more room in my tummy to try this out but

I was just SO FULL from my own meal

They actually do have a few other dishes and for each dish, there's usually a few choices of different sauces.

I guess the next time I should try Cranberry Sauce cause it sounds really interesting.

Till then!~~

New Look Fashion Preview

10:33 PM

As most of you know, the month of September is when everyone is moving into the fall season and many stores are coming up with their fall/winter collection and that includes New Look! *YAYYYY*
New Look has actually kindly had us over at their Suntec City Brunch for a fashion preview and workshop where we got to know more about their new collection as well as try them on ourselves based on our own team's interpretation of the style.

So here's my team.

Hi Jasmine and Belinda!~ :D

(p/s: this might be a pretty long post but just stay with me cause I've something for you at the end of this ^^)

In order to get you all decked up in the latest fashion trends, I'm going to introduce to you the amazing Fall/Winter collection featuring 3 different styles that New Look has to offer!!
Also, I am going to show you how you can dress up in these different styles with basic clothings you'll probably already have as well as this super pretty White Swing Cami from New Look which caught my eyes the moment I stepped into the store.

First up:

Baboushka is actually inspired by a mix of Tapestry Florals and Russian Glamour.

For this style, autumnal colours such as teal, burgundy and navy are worn with prints and textures layered up with accessories.

What to wear: Ravishing Knitwear, Intricate Embroidery, Statement Outerwear

As you can see, most outfits are actually a clash of prints or textures but with a bit of black and white here and there, it really does pull the whole look together perfectly.

Baboushka in my opinion is a bit dressy and thus I decided to dress it down slightly to make it more suitable for school and added my own style into it

I paired the white swing cami with a printed bandage skirt so as to give a bit of volume to the top.

I then threw over my multi-coloured cardigan to brighten up my entire white on white outfit.

Since I wanted the cardigan to be the highlight of my outfit, I paired it with a black bag and black flats (since I'm schooling flats makes walking from point to point in the campus soooo much easier) so that it wouldn't steal the limelight of my cardigan.

Next:

A simple yet bold, powerful yet feminine look with a mix of leather, zips and animal prints.

For this style, monochromes are usually used as the base and animal prints will be used to

spice things up a little.

You will be surprised how amazingggg the pieces just come together.

Some might probably thing that this style with the contrasting prints might be a bit too loud.

So.. yes with the same white swing cami, I placed more focus on the monochrome part to tone things down and threw in a tinge of animal print to let you still stand out.

I paired the top with this panelled bandage skirt with a gold zipper down the middle so that the outfit would seem more layered. (I'm so sorry the panels can't be seen)

Since army suggests power and my friend said that ladies in heel seem to suggest superiority, I slipped on this pretty babies on to add some height.

I then wore a gold triangle necklace with a black and gold coloured bracelet and carried a clutch with snake skin print to just contrast it out of the full body of black and white.

If skirts and heels ain't your thing, change it out into a pair of black slim/disco pants or something along that line and slip into a pair of boots and you're all good to go.

Lastly:

Inspired by dark florals and tartan, this has got to be my favourite style of it all!!

Slightly feminine yet feeling like a rebel.

Accessorized with studs, chains and spikes, which are things I can't get enough of.

So just happen that my team got this theme so I was pretty happy, what luck~

The last photo is the outfit my group came together with.

A dark floral tank with a dark denim dungaree, black boots, a floral headband and some random black and gold bracelets we threw on last miniute ^^

Despite the dark colours thrown together, we wanted to show that it can still be a really adorbs outfit.

With a tinge of femininity yet showing character.

I hope you ain't tired of my face yet cause there's a tid bit more coming up ^^

A slightly more tough-up version of this style~

With the same white swing cami (See! 1 piece and so many styles! How awesome is this top),

I wore my favourite pair of denim shorts and tied my tartan shirt over to layer things up a bit.

Put on my black beanie and high-cut marts to give it a more bad ass feel :P

If you want, you can throw on a spiked bracelet or something to just toughen it up.

And that's all 3 style!~

Woo! You made it through!~

Now, the super duper amazing news you've been waiting for...

Baiyoke Suite

Bkk Day 3

10:50 PM

And so I've delayed my bangkok post for wayyyy to long. 죄송합니다 (I'm sorry)

If you haven't read day 1 and 2: check it out here

So to start things out, here was my outfit of that day:

I really love how the hotel is nice to take outfit photos any day any time, haha!

This is at a corner of the lobby of the hotel I stayed in.

So keeping things simple: threw on a white crop top and daisy skorts that i bought the day before and slipped into my ohsocomfty creepers.

So on day 3, we headed down to platinum area first as we saw an advertisement about them having a food fair. My sister still owes me the photos so I shall upload the photos when I've gotten them.

I have to say that the roasted pork was the bomb! I've not tasted anywhere's that was better than that.

Thinking back about it now I'm craving for that sinful stuff, hehs.

We then headed to the extended area of Platinum Mall (around novena hotel area) since we've not been there but in my opinion there's nothing much and the items are not as eye catching and quite costly as compared to those in platinum and the market area nearby.

Next, we then headed to Yaowarat (Bangkok's Chinatown)

I felt quite disappointed as the stores I visit frequently either moved out or carry less attractive stuffs.

Actually is just that I found that the stores didn't carry items that suit me.

Of course I'll still recommend a visit to this place especially if you would like to grab a whole load of cheap accessories if you buy more than 3 or in bulks.

(The taxi uncle told us that the clothes/accessories area were were the green and red roofs/ tentage were)

^ hope that helps you to look for the place more easily as it can be quite confusing.

We didn't buy much but we headed down to a place we'll always visit when we're there for

BIRD NEST!!!

They carry tons of different grades of bird nest and you can have them in stores too.

A bowl usually ranges from about 300 to 800 baht if my memory didn't fail me.

(Its quite near the main road and quite a prominent store occupying about 2-3 shop space)

We then headed down to a place near Siam Square.

(There's actually a long stretch of restaurants and cafes around that area so do check it out)

We wanted to have dinner at teddy house's kitchen (just above a huge teddy store) but the menu was limited so we headed elsewhere.

It would have been a great place for tea though to just grab a drink and some dessert

Instead we headed to a restaurant (corner shop about 2-3 levels) by the name of Ban Khunmae.

We had:

Spicy glass noodle salad (sorry i don't have the photo)

Pineapple Fried Rice which was quite alright but i kind of prefer the one at the hotel's cafe.

Basil Chicken. Tasty but slightly salty. Would be good if you like food with strong flavour

Seafood Curry in Young Coconut.

This is my ultimate favourite dish in the restaurant. No words can explain how much I loveeee this.

I probably finished half of it myself cause it was just that good!

It is slightly sweet tasting and strong coconut taste and its soooo good.

I strongly recommend you to try this if you happen to go there.

Like i mentioned, there are loads of cafe along that road so right after dinner, we popped by:

Hokkaido Milk Cafe!!

We ordered Milk Ice Cream and Milk Pudding.

I just love things with milk but if you aren't a fan, they have many other flavours too!

Just look at the amazing variety they have!

After all our food, we continued shopping at Siam Square.

(If you're looking for cheap deals, walk along the main road near the MRT station near Siam Square)

They have a good range of clothing at really low prices so if you really love shopping, it's a must to walk along that area. I myself brought back quite a large haul from there.

To end of the day, we finally had our virgin ride on a tuktuk.

OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH! :D

I was so excited and you can tell from my face below

I love the feeling of the wind rushing through my hair (and in my face)

and thus ending up like this.

But i still love this shot cause it looks kind of funny, haha.

How can I not take a mandatory shot of the view from the backseat of a tuktuk right?!

And the ride concludes our day3 in bangkok.

So here's happy face us for you while you await the post for day 4 & 5.

Thank you if you bothered reading through this lengthy wordy post.

You're freaking amazing ^^

Teng, Out!~

Bukit Indah

1 DAY WEEKEND GETAWAY!~

9:42 PM

As much as I wished it was a getaway, it was only a short trip over to Legoland.

Rushed straight over to Joo Koon to meet him from Arya Chalet. I died..

BUT...

It was all worth it cause it's Legoland!

Yay, like finally?! I've really wanted to take a walk around the park since a few months back!

So I entertained myself the entire way and I shall let some photos speak for themselves:

The place has many amazing structures including a mini structure of the world but sadly I didn't get to pass by that.

So, this majorly huge lego giraffe was what first caught my eyes.

It was plain genius! This is so freaking huge*claps*

The park like any other will categorize themselves according to certain themes.

Castles, Traffics, Shipyard, and many more

What caught my eyes in particular was actually this game below where people stand in it and go up and down and compete see who's vehicle reaches the other end first.

The game didn't attract me at all honestly but I love how cute it looks. Haha.

While walking through the park there are bound to be countless of lego structures!

Being the usual me, I decided to camwhore with these adorable lego masterpiece, teehee.

(You'll probably have known if you follow me on instagram)

There were many more I wanted to take photo with but the adults were just too engrossed with their topic and I was lagging behind by wayyyy to much. Sighs.

Lastly,

1 important thing to do while you're there is to check out their store!

I spent a lot of time inside the small shop so I can't imagine what would happen if I entered the big one.

They do customization, keychains and have tons of lego stuffs (I don't say~)

So if you happen to go there, really do check the shop out.

I was spoilt for choices with the keychains but ended up settling for a pink hippo lego keychain which is SUPERRR ADORABLE!!

In my honest opinion, the park is more suitable for kids. literally kids.

If you're one who love rides like the red and blue coasters in USS then you'll probably not be trilled by the rides here other than a small number of rides.

No worries bout age or size and what not cause even the rides for kids can be rode on by adults to a maximum of 100kg.

And the rides are extremely safe with constant maintenance and well prepared staffs.

However, it's quite an amazing place to check out if you wanna take crazily nice photos.

The entry fee is about SGD55 if I'm not mistaken.

Of course, don't let my opinion affect you cause i didn't try the rides and well, it might actually be fun, who knows.

If you're planning to go please bring and SPAM (Yes spam!) sunblock cause that place is extremely hot. To think I thought Singapore was hot but oh man I was wrong, Legoland is wayyy hotter!

Next, FOOOOOOOD!!~

Sooner or later I'll finish trying all the restaurants in bukit indah mall. :P

So this time round, me and popsie decided to try out Taang Shifu for dinner:

The food are slightly towards the hebal-ish type of taste however if you're not into this type of food, they do have other stuffs available on the menu for you.

So we shared a bowl of abalone chicken mee sua (herbal soup) [L] which dad found it slightly bland but i thought it was alright and a bowl(?) of mushroom & mini abalone rice [R].

We also ordered a plate of Chicken (in wine i think) and it's good!

I love how tender the chicken is and with the sauce over it, ohman I want some now..

The 3 above dish plus a cup of honey aloe vera came close to SGD30? which I felt was quite cheap for a restaurant considering what we ordered.

The shop is at the corner on level 2 just beside the escalator (go up from the escalator beside Starbucks/JCO)

You'll see it the moment you go up.

We also had black ball when we were there

Sadly, this ain't my kind of desert and other than the soy ice or sth, this didn't appeal to me.

Sorry fans of black ball but oh well.

Headed home straight after that cause I was drained.

And so there, my super short 1 day trip ^^
