Prata @ 80c And Steamboat Buffet

A while back, the prata was being offered at 80c on gmarket. It was really cheap since it includes both a prata and a drink of your choice. I bought 3 and dropped by with my friend :)
It was delicious!

The drinks that we chose are Cold Blueberry Syrup, Hot Teh Cino and Hot Teh.

The blueberry syrup is really sweet. It tastes like cocktails actually. And the Teh Cino is amazing! I love the white foam at the top. It never really did disappear completely even after my friend finished the whole thing even though it was actually mine. Lol! Its very sweet also. I didnt try the hot teh, so no comment for it. All 3 drinks are above $1.50 each.

Chocolate and Banana Prata at Original Price of $1.80

The inside of the prata is really filled with banana because i tasted banana with every bite. The chocolate syrup they use are actually hot. Mhmmm... Hot chocolate is <3

Mushroom prata with original price of $1.80 too

Really tender mushroom. The curry that comes with it is very creamy! Loves the curry and the mushroom! :)

Cheese and Mushroom prata with original price of $1.80 too.

My friend's order so I didnt try it but the cheese smell is quite overpowering. Not that i smell it across the table, but at the beginning, I mistakenly thought that this was my mushroom prata and when I sinked my spoon into it and lifted it out, there was a veryyy disgusting smell of cheese. So yeah, overpowering cheese smell. And to avoid any misunderstanding, I hate cheese that's why I said it is disgusting. My friend didnt complain or anything though so perharps its nice? Whatever.

Address: River Valley Road Shophouses
6 bus stops from Dhoby Ghaut on 139 so yeah, quite near to dhoby.
There's no promotion right now, so the prata and drink is being offered at $5 now which is the normal price.


Next we travelled to changi village road to eat steamboat buffet. If you subscribe to most of the group buy websites, you should be familiar with this.
Taken from Streetdeal.sg

I wouldnt say there are over 100 dishes, in fact, i wouldnt even agree that there are over 50 dishes. Its just a little shophouse with probably 10 tables?


There's a TV though, so you can eat while watching whatever show that is being aired.

We chose Herbal Soup and Chicken Soup.
I also tried their Ma La Soup the first time I went. Its good actually but not very spicy. Herbal Soup tastes nice too while chicken soup is just meh. Its bland and probably just MSG.

I have to apologise for the lack of pictures because these 3 are the only pictures I took. Anyway, they have all sorts of balls e.g meatball, prawn ball, cuttlefish ball, fish ball etc. I think we loaded 4 full plates of balls between us? The seafood are fresh too, though I only ate the prawns which is juicy. There are also crab, the shells in the pictures and meats like chicken, pork and beef. We didnt get any vegetables though.

They only have one type of drink everyitme. The first time I went, it was plum juice which is really refreshing. This time, it was lemonade which is just meh.

They have 6 different flavours of icecream too.

And I most certainly didnt see at least a quarter of the food listed in the deal. I also have no idea why they said there will be a free flow of cocktails. Didnt see it at all. zzz...

I felt like I have been scammed the first time I went but I did fill my stomach the both times and I think I did eat $12.50 worth of food both times? Anyway, the service is so-so. The other guy which I think is the owner is rude. The rest are ok. And the shop is actually quite unhygienic. I saw a plate with a dead ant stuck on it and there's actually a dead fly in their sesame oil bottle? Yucks, just yucks. So be mindful of the utensils you are using. You need to scrutinise it!

Weekends Haul @ Daiso Watsons & Kino

There was a 3+1 promotion for Leaders Insolution Mask. I admit it has been ongoing since the beginning of March but I didnt have the chance to drop by Watsons until now. Haha, Im slow.

Anyway, I picked up 2 AC-Dressing, 1 Aloe Soothing and 1 Teatree Relaxing. AC-Dressing is at $3.50 each and both Aloe Soothing and Teatree Relaxing are at $3 each. In addition to the storewide 7% off, I paid $9.30 for them. There was also a promotion for Footlease Insoles at 2 for $8.50. Original price is $6.50 each. So I just have to pick them up you know? Furthermore, Watsons Insoles are nice and comfy to wear too. They really do absorb perspiration and any smell really well. And the reason why i know that is because I have tried the lavender one and the black colour one. Haha. For the Neutrogena Mask, I only picked it up because I wanted to make the total bill up to $20 so I can get the member points but the storewide 7% discount which i didnt know existed until I was paying decreased my total bill to $19. Oh well, $1 vs 1 linkpoint? I choose the $1. :)

Reviews for the LI and Neutrogena Mask will be coming soon. Both are really effective :)

I also dropped by Daiso while I was waiting for my friend at Plaza Sing. So this haul was totally unplanned. How could anyone resist leaving Daiso with nothing?

The mirror at $2 is frankly quite a steal isnt it? Especially since i needed one after accidentally breaking mine on the day ALevel Result was released. And yeah, I didnt do well if you are wondering but im pretty sure that was not due to the supposedly bad luck from breaking the mirror. *shrug.

I also picked up the air pump for my exercise ball. I think just trying to pump in the air is already considered an exercise. It was REALLY TIRING oO!

The vacuum bag is a must have for anyone who is travelling overseas. It really helps to decrease your luggage size by a lot though Im not sure one is really enough.

And both of the curry is also really a MUST-HAVE! They are really easy to prepare. You just add a little bit of water and then boil them for 3 minutes and you will have your instant piping hot delicious curry! And the calories for each of them is just 112. Not really a lot right? But they are really salty though but well, I like salty food :) :)

Here is the picture of the curry in the green pack I prepared last night.
This is actually just half of the portion because I left the other half for my mum and she left it to my brother. what the hell! Anyway, just look at the potato!! Its really very soft and juicy. The carrots and other vegetables inside are also very nice too. Didnt see any preservatives on the ingredient list though but they do add acidulent which is an additive. No wonder Im addicted. 

Female Magazine is also having a freebie at Kinokuniya.
For $6, you will get a free Redken Cooling Deep Conditioner worth $32.
I saw a lot of good reviews for it so Im dying to try it out and maybe review it too. :)

TSS Beauty Box III (min 50 items)

Earlier, when the first tss beauty box was introduced, i debated with myself whether i should get it at that instance or wait for a while to read the reviews first to see if it was worth it. Turned out it was worth it but by that time, it was sold out. I was really upset and damning my internal struggle! Im just slow in making decisions.

But when i saw this tss beauty box III, my internal struggle appeared even though last time i told myself such things wont happen again. Luckily for me, history did not repeat itself because weeks after it was introduced, my beauty box III is still available muahaha!

Tss Beauty Box III was priced at $8.99 and delivery fee was $4.79. I HATEHATEHATE the expensive delivery fee. frankly speaking, i dont care how fast i get the item (it took 3days), i dont mind if i have to wait 1 or 2 weeks as long as the delivery fee is cheap or free. I missed the old times when the sample store is called freb and you only need to pay $1.50 or $2 for 4 samples. Now the delivery fee is just wtf. I wont mind if they just rename it as $2/$3 handling fee or profit fee or something and make the delivery fee an actual accurate amount instead of just calling a $4 fee a delivery fee when the actual fee is just $1 or less. Ok, im ranting and veering off track.

Anyway, here are the content of my box. Its quite worth it in my opinion and im stingy in giving approval ;)

The Body Shop Sale 2012 Haul


Alright, i went to tbs sale at suntec today while dropping by the IT sale which is currently being held too. Here's a tip for the IT sale if you are attending, check the brochures or price list for most items at the IT sale by going to http://itfairsg.com/itshow2012/. They have uploaded most of the brochures that are being given out. This will stop you from being overwhelmed by the sheer number of booths on the 4 floors since you will have an idea on what is being sold and will also save you time from going from booth to booth to compare prices. :)

And now, here are the things that i have bought and I have managed to stop myself from huge and unnecessary hauling!!! This is a huge achievement ok! haha. 

White Musk Anti-Perspirant Deodorant - 2 for $14.90
Kiss of Colour Cheek Blush in Vibrant Rose - $12.90
Moroccan Rose EDT - $19.90
Taken from tbs website.

I have to say, i love the cheek blush when i swatched it on my hand earlier. it is a very sweet girlish pink suitable for pale skin like me. :) :)
Anyway, i love the aqua lily anti-perspirant deodorant i bought at the previous tbs sale 2011. It is really effective in curbing any odour ahem.. So now im restocking but they are not selling the aqua lily one. There are quite a few products that are not included in this sale which is really disappointing because they are all the items i was planning to restock such as Rougeberry EDT. I LOVE THE SCENT! But oh well, i hope i will love Moroccan Rose as its the most bearable one out of all the fragrances in this sale. Bah! Oh, there are a lot of makeup items this time though so if you love tbs makeup, you will have a fun time.

Some of the prices of the items i can remember:
Foot Scrubs - 2 for $10
Small size cleansers/body wash/shampoo/conditioner - 3 for $12 or 4 for $12
Retail Size Cleansers/Body Wash/Shampoo/Conditioner - 30% off their retail price (i think)
Basically, just the normal usual price for tbs sale. 

Have a nice enjoyable weekend everyone! <3
