Kent hair brush

Wanted to get a new hair brush to bring out and use on the go to neaten my messy hair. The Body Shop travel hair brush i had was not very nice to comb and its really small. 

Did some research on the net and found good raves on Kent hair brushes. Lots of people swear by it and luckily its available in watson! They have lots of collection for different hair woes. Their brushes ranges from $19.90 onwards. I actually wanted to buy a full size comb but i figured out that it would be able to fit nicely in my pouch/bag. So I tried their travel size combs. 


Even Duffy likes it! 

They have nice paintings/cartoons at the back for the brush/comb.

Conclusion: Its better than Body shop's. Hair really looks less frizzly compared to TBS. Though the price is abit on the high side ($19.90) its worth it!

Cheese Fondue

Finally got the time to meet up with Alvin for a short date on Deepavali. Been so busy this few weeks with helping out for the new project. :( Almost everyday of OT.

Anyway, Alvin wanted to try Cheese Fondue. Search on the net shows that Swiss Culture in Suntec had some good raves. So here we go..

The restaurant is located on the same row as Kushin-bo on level 3. Its quite small, their seatings are all "alfresco".

My orange juice 

The cheese fondue.  

The bread for dipping 

Additional side orders of their must try sausage 

Mmmm!

Its our first time at cheese fondue. I must say that it wasn't what I have imagined. I thought it would be a overpowering smell of cheese & extremely cheesy. But to my surprise, it turns out quite ok and mild, no cheesy smell. However, it got a bit "gelat" at the end of the session. One thing learnt, is that when we dip the bread/sausage in, we must do it in a stirring motion as the oil of the cheese will float on top as the cheese bubbled.

Quite a lot of people ordered their cheese fondue. Anyway, if you are not feeling "gelat" at the end, you could try their chocolate fondue which the staff recommended.

What do u think?

A friend sent this to me. What do you think?

P/s: using blogger app to update. So cool!!

It has been a busy work week

Everyday is a mayhem. It's quite different from the past where it's a bit more relax at work.

Now, due to new project, I've been going down to warehouse officially to help out. It's so far! I'm like walking from one end of the building to the other end a few times a day. I'm aren't complaining especially when my colleagues stayed till midnight for the past week plus.

Over one of the breakfast, someone pointed out that it's good that I help out. I can't possibly be doing admin forever and it's a good chance if I wan to be in ops. But errr..? Am I supposed to be considering ops?

Brekkie yums

I'm trying to have a variety of breakfast options that are healthy and filling. Tried out the fish fillet burger one of the mornings. BTW i bought the Ramly burger's fish fillet in NTUC. Not bad.

This is a fast to prepare option. I just dump the fillet in the Phillips AirFryer and I went to prepare my things (MU, change clothes etc) and after it is done, assemble all the ingredients together, and viola! You get a fish burger.

銅鑼焼 Dorayaki

Some time ago (quite a few months back), I've made Doremon's fave food 銅鑼焼 for Alvin and friends. Wanted to do other food with the red bean paste I've bought. But can't remember what I wanted to make and with the red bean paste derived the Dorayaki. I cannot remember exactly which recipe i used but I think this is the closest to what i have done.

Recipe from Annie Koh
Ingredients:
2 eggs
60g honey
150g sugar
200g plain flour
3g baking soda
3g baking powder
150ml water
Anko bean paste
Method:
In a big bowl, stir together the eggs, sugar and honey.
Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder to the mixture above. Stir until well fixed.
Add the water gradually and stir until well mixed, it should have a consistency like double cream.
Heat a frying pan up, and cook them like you would cook pancakes. Depends on the size of your pan, only do 2 or 3 pancakes at a time. Otherwise they will all join together.
When you see bubbles forming, flap them over.
Cool all the pancakes and then sandwich your anko paste in the middle.
And tada~ The completed product. I got a little worried that it is abit big than the normal Dorayaki size. For a second I thought it will be a flop. But after assembling them, hey, it looks like the real thing right?
