We had a food tasting session held at Ah Loy Thai located at Shaw Towers. Prior to that, I had misunderstood this as another restaurant named A-Roy Thai. What’s with the almost similar names? *confused*

Looking at this makes me hungry again. Here are some dishes to feast your eyes.

Thai iced tea is a must order for me whenever I dine at Thai restaurants. Extremely effective to reduce the spiciness!

Some of my favorite dishes!

Fried Butter Calamari

You gotta try this dish, the butter sauce is finger-licking good! Look at the big, fat and juicy squids! I feel like trying to cook this myself haha!

Tom Yum Seafood Soup
Very spicy and authentic. What’s Thai food without tom yum?

Thai Garlic Pork
Never liked garlic but I love pork, so I had to try this dish. The taste of garlic is not too overwhelming, iLike!

Lemon Steam Fish
I was like the only one whacking this dish cos I love fish! The meat was so fresh and the gravy has this amazing taste of lemon, really refreshing.

Thai Basil Pork
Stir-fried to perfection. But it’s a tad too oily though.

There were more dishes but I was so bloated from the previous event (another blog post soon) that I couldn’t sample each and every dish.

Hungry yet?

Thank you Ah Loy Thai and TheSampleStore for the invitation.

The restaurants at Shaw Towers are really worth going! Gonna pop by soon!

Merry Christmas! Another year gone, another year older. Here’s part 2 on what I’ve been up to recently!

2PM Hands Up Asia Tour

Omo~ finally got to see my favorite Kpop boy group 2PM! Totally love their music and dance styles. Their songs are super catchy! Didn’t managed to go for their hi-5 event though cos it’s frigging far and falls on a weekday fml!

The finale was awesome! Both Taecyeon and Chansung started taking off their tops lol! One lucky girl managed to grab the tee that Taecyeon threw towards her. She was like screaming at the top of her lungs hahaha! I think I might do that too if Wooyoung threw his. I hope I’ll be able to see them again!

Mnet Asian Music Awards

This has got to be the best concert I have ever went! All thanks to my friend, I managed to purchase a Pen B ticket. I went to stalk them the day before but only managed to see Park Bom lol. Missed the chance to see Park Ji Hoo, who happened to be at MBS too.

On the day itself, I went to queue with my friend at 630am. Her friends started queuing up 2 days before the concert so we went to take over them. Super tiring and lethargic and the attitude of the staff didn’t help much. They were extremely rude and treated us like juveniles. Anyway, we were made to wait under the hot sun for more than 12 hours. You know how frustrating it is when some idiots rather go by the book than using their pathetic brains to think.

Come to think of it, everything’s worth the wait! We were standing less than 2m away from the artistes’ sitting area! Look at da awesome pictures I’ve taken!

Unfortunately, the security stopped us from taking photos 20 minutes to the show. Damn double standard! But still, I went home feeling extremely happy. Wished 2PM and Big Bang were there though!

Power Plate at Selective Fitness

Selective Fitness is a specialized boutique Power Plate fitness studio located at one of the shophouses along Tanjong Pagar Road. BFF and I were invited for the trial classes to experience their intense workout. What’s so unique is their Power Plate machines which vibrates throughout the workout and helps to improve blood flow and tone the muscles.

We were like screaming for mercy almost every lesson lol. At times, I couldn’t even feel my arms or legs anymore. With the help from Chris, the personal trainer, I managed to push myself to the limit. At the end of each lesson, my legs start to ache and it gets worse the next day. The aches took a few days to go away and I can feel that my muscles are more toned! I’d probably need more lessons to see an improvement.

Check out their Facebook page and sign up for a free trial!

Unlike traditional sheet mask, HydroGel mask does not have any holding medium. It is made directly from pure nutrients and essence into a soft water-gel mask, just like how ice is formed from water. Hydrogel is soft and gentle on skin. Upon applying HydroGel, it will melt onto face creating an entire new masking experience.

All thanks to TheSampleStore, I was given 5 different types of HydroGel masks to try – Gold Power, Slim V, Wrinkle Free, Bright & Clear and Snail Charm.

Hahaha I know I look horrible! Here I have the Bright & Clear HydroGel face mask that contains whitening agents that will turn rough and dull skin into bright and clear skin. I’ve tried a similar kind of eye mask before but this is the first time I am trying a face mask. The jelly like texture feels really soft and cooling but I accidentally tore it, so make sure you handle the mask gently.

It comes in two parts, one from the forehead to the nose and the other one for the area starting from the mouth to the chin. I think it’s way too huge for my face and don’t really fit the face contour well. I had it on for about 30 minutes before removing it.

Here’s a chance for you to try out the TheNatureLab Slim V Mask! Simply redeem it here. TheNatureLab masks are available at Watsons and retails at S$17.80 for 5 pcs.

More than 60% of the world suffers from dandruff and other scalp problems. Dandruff is caused by stress, diet and certain lifestyle habits. Even weather, poor hygiene, oily scalp, etc. can cause dandruff.

With the new CLEAR with Nutrium10, you can bid farewell to unsightly flakes.

Unlike other anti-dandruff shampoos that are wash-away solutions, the new CLEAR with Nutrium10 treats the root cause. It infuses the scalp with nutrients three layers deep and also helps to rebalance cell proliferation process to restore the scalp to its healthy condition.

Research has shown that there are gender differences in scalp types. Hence, CLEAR has customised their Nutrium10 formula to cater to the specific needs of men and women.

Nutrium10 for Women:

• Offers vitamins and minerals to boost stronger hair growth
• Gives women 3 scalp effects they desire – no dandruff, no dryness and no itch
• More pro-vitamins and amino acids than other anti-dandruff shampoo
• 3 times smoother hair compared to non-conditioned hair
• 5 times less breakage and split ends compared to non-conditioned hair

Nutrium10 for Men:

• Remove dead skin cells on the scalp’s surface
• Restores scalp nourishment
• Boosts scalp’s natural defence against dandruff and itch
• 2 times faster acting results against dandruff with 50% more anti-dandruff actives vs. previous CLEAR
• 3 times scalp strengtheners vs. CLEAR women
• More protection from dandruff than other anti-dandruff shampoo

Clear Women Anti Hair-Fall
$9.40 for 350ml, $14.30 for 700ml

With Hair Lock Technology. For weakened scalp and hair. Strengthens from the root to tip and increases hair’s defense against hairfall and breakage.

Verdict: It was pretty easy to lather up and there was a long-lasting scent after shampooing. I do experience hair loss but since I haven’t managed to finish up the entire bottle, it’s hard to say if it did help with my hair loss or not.

Clear Women Ice Cool Menthol
$9.40 for 350ml, $14.30 for 700ml

With cooling menthol. For all scalp and hair types. Refreshes and revives scalp and hair with an invigorating burst of menthol freshness.

Verdict: My hair is pretty dry but I didn’t expect this shampoo to make my tresses even drier. I had a hard time hand combing the tangles. Also, I don’t feel any cooling sensation on my scalp either. Quite a disappointment I must say.

I had Boss to try the men series and he quite like it.

Clear Men Anti Hair-Fall
$10.30 for 350ml, $15.70 for 700ml

With Pro-strength Ginseng Technology. For weakened hair fiber. Strengthen your hair and defend against hair loss.
