My Faves from 7-Eleven

Mexican Sandwich $4.90. 7-Eleven is famous for its ready-to-go meals and out of all the sandwiches, this is my favorite coz its a blend of everything - chicken, cheese, lettuce, spice. My next fave is the Club Sandwich.

You C1000 Vitamin drink in Lemon flavor $1.50. It's a shot of healthy vitamins when you don't feel 100% and it tastes pretty nice. Not so sure about the orange flavor coz it just tastes like regular oranges. 

Gardenia Sambal Ikan Bilis Bun $1.30. It's nasi lemak sambal mixed with fried dried tiny fishes, stuffed inside a bun. I can eat one everyday, its that good and wholesome. There is also a whole range of fruit, chocolate, custard flavors that are pretty ok too.

7-Eleven Slurpee, its iconic, its affordable and its available in different flavors. Where else can you get a slushie these days? And only for $1 or $2! With the hot weather all the time, everyone is always looking for a cold drink. 

7D Dried Mango $6.90 for 200gm. This is my favorite dried fruit snack coz the mangoes have a bite to it, its a little sweet and a lot of mango flavor.

Meiji Grape Gummy $2.50. Meiji's gummy have the best texture, its soft, bouncy and round. Flavor-wise it just bursts with freshness. I like the grape ones coz it actually looks like grape off the vine. It's available in all sorts of fruit flavors.

Tao Kae Noi Crispy Seaweed $2.70 for 32gm, its crispy, its vegetarian and its chockful of seasoning. It's also available in different flavors - tomyum/hot & spicy/cheese/curry etc. It's sold in small packets, big packs and even rolled.

7-Eleven Selects Jap Snacks - Triple Cheese Snack $2.50. It's soo cheesy like Cheezels but with a European flair coz its a 3 cheese mix. Also available are maple syrup coated walnuts, mentaiko rings etc.

 

Heaven & Earth Green Tea with Jasmine $2.50 from the refrigerator. My favorite green tea drink by far as nothing else comes close. It's cheaper off the shelf coz it hasn't been chilled yet.

You can always find the latest limited edition drink bottles or cans at 7-11. These Coca-Cola designs are for 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia that just ended. I remember last SEA games was gold tone 100Plus drink cans.

Mid Autumn Festival 2018

Traditional Hong Kong cafe food for lunch, have forgotten how delicious chicken stock + msg is, even though its just maggi mee and spam.

Cola cocktails and a warm crumbly polo bun with spiced pork chop within. I think I had something similar in Macau at a well known Cha Chaan Teng before. Now its available at Tai Lei Loi Kei Vivocity.

Picked up some things at the supermarket for the coming mid-autumn festival. I was planning on getting traditional style mooncakes and found these prettily packaged Oreo mooncakes instead, 6 pieces for $29.90. It comes with a matching gift bag and instructions on how to make a gift card.

I want to gift this to someone but I don't know who. I prefer snow skin mooncakes to the baked version and these mochi-custardy flavours are all there. It's chocolate Oreo fillings inside and tastes really different from all the other Oreo treats out there.

Not forgetting tea, I bought gifts sets from Twinings and Nescafe Gold that came with transparent  drinking tumblers. Its 3 tea bags to 1 tumbler.

I am planning to get my next box from Chateraise Patisserie $29.90 for 4 pieces. It's snowskin, I like the variations coz its kinda like mochi. Even Ya Kun has mooncakes for sale this year $52.80 for 8 pieces.



Trying out the Starbucks baked mooncakes, runny eggyolks are a popular recipe from Hongkong now available in Singapore. Its really better than regular mooncakes but the price is a little higher, 6 small sized mooncakes for $49.90.

OG Anniversary Sale

OG was open 1 hour earlier for its members sale and the queues were all around the building and back. I am shocked! There is no point making it early coz you can just walk-in after 10am or so, there is a queue but its a short q.

Look at the crowds inside and at the cashier counters. Impossible to browse, I just picked up the items I was planning to get and got out. I left out the fan, a bulky item as there is no place to even walk through. But lots of people got luggage that they put their shopping into and then wheel home, that seems to be the best option.

My very reasonably loaded carrier, I did think about having to take public transportation home. Stopped by a coffee-shop near the bus stop for lunch.

Half of my shopping was for birthday presents, so these items here are for myself.

A backpack for those shopping trips to Malaysia, it will most likely be for groceries more than anything else. Only $7.90 the cheapest one on sale.

Magic markers spray kit for crafting purposes $15 on sale. I've had magic markers before but not with the spray gun and it even comes with templates.

Pierre Cardin wallet in green leather with gold-tone hardware, $39 on sale. I needed a new wallet and couldn't believe the price on this, there wasn't many left. 

My Little Pony blind bags, half priced. These are soo fun to open and make great desk displays.

OG home delivery on my GSS buys last month, making it soo convenient to travel by public transport. I wasn't planning on entering any GSS Lucky Draws this year but I did so with these purchases.

Free Gifts with Purchase

 Indian Pani Puri for dinner, its kinda different with its jumbo size and no mint dressing.

Lay's potato chips was giving away these cute backpacks, as if you need a reason to buy potato chips. Usually I get free food items like a bag of pasta when I buy 2 bottles of sauces or a bottle of kaya from purchasing a loaf of bread. Most other times its a free manufacturer bag from the supermarket, like these Kinder Bueno and Tesco A4 size totes. 

Kellogg's Corn Flakes Water Bottle 1L, I almost bought the same thing at Starbucks only this one is bigger. I also managed to get the Haribo Gummies water bottle from purchasing 2 packets of gummy bears.

I didn't manage to redeem the red Pyrex pot from purchasing $18 worth of Knorr chicken stock cubes coz it was fully redeemed. Maybe I'll get better luck next time. Meanwhile, I entered a colouring contest by J&J, no age restrictions.

More supermarket prize collections and I am getting better at finding the offices.

$200 Fairprice Vouchers from Glad baking paper

$50 Starbucks card from Philly Cheese ( I use one package each pasta meal)

Pierre Cardin Luggage from Pantene shampoos & conditioners

Gyros for dinner, never had it before, almost similar to kebabs but the kebabs here are soo non-standard and hybridized that I cannot really tell the difference anymore.
