Tangs Market

新年快乐 福如东海

2016 is the year of the Red Fire Monkey, fengshui masters have predicted a vibrant time ahead and good for risk-taking.

I have been hanging out here at Tangs Market for local food done in hotel room service standards. Cheap and good as prices are the same as other high end food courts.

My faves are Penang Char Kway Teow ($5) and Sungei Road Laksa ($3). Everyone loves the Sayur Lodeh and traditional Hokkien Mee here.

Amy Yip Big Pau ($4), a pork pau soo big that you need 2 hands to hold it.

Dip for Vege Sticks

Julienne some hard vegetables like carrots, celery, cucumbers to make vege sticks, a popular lunchbox and party dish.

Combine Caeser Salad Dressing with Salsa to make an unbelievable dip for vege sticks that will have you craving for more. Taste tested on fussy kids and this recipe actually came from an in-store tear-out.

Phillip Lim 3.1 Spring Summer 2016

Did everybody hear, Michelle Obama wore Phillip Lim 3.1 Spring 2016 to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping @whitehouse.

Everybody likes this brand for its wearability. Its a working man's wardrobe luxed up with better materials. Fashion-safe and comfortable.

Limited Edition M&M's Tin Cups

Surprise Win! And M&Ms even couriered it to me, saved me the trouble of collecting it myself.

Belif

Belif is another LG created Korean skincare company that believes in sincere pure ingredients put together by a British Herbalist. Prices on the mid-range, 50ml mask for $38 and face creams for under $100. In addition to skincare and cosmetics, it has separate ranges for Men and Babies.

The products are really effective for the kind of price you are paying, the scents and ingredients are pleasant almost spa-like. Definitely getting more of that moisture blast again.

Vietnam Goodies from the Airport

My sis got these snacks from the Vietnam airports. These Keodua or coconut candies come in chocolate and Dica(?). It's really coconutty caramels that are harder than what we are normally used to, it tends to stick to your teeth when chewed.

Check out how many candies come in 1 packet.

Gingerbon are ginger candies. It's got a nice ginger flavor, kinda sweet from sugar dusting. The texture is bouncy like konnyaku, I like it.

This squirrel coffee is quite popular. My sis assures me its not coffee beans from squirrel shit.

It's a nicely packaged kit for 10 cups of black coffee. 

You place the coffee filter over the cup and pour in hot water, let it drip like regular Vietnamese Coffee. Add in sugar and stir. Soo handy.

The coffee is really good, smoky deep flavors with no aftertaste, a sign of good quality beans.
