Takeaway Bundle Meals



This bundle meal is from a Japanese restaurant and its all cooked food, no sushi or sashimi here.


Soba Noodles and Matcha Noodles, there are soo many broths/dipping sauces we didn't know what goes with what so it was just random.


Teriyaki Chicken, miso salmon, curry pork chops. 


This Korean Army Stew or Budae Jjigae bundled family meal is from Seoul Yummy and it comes with rice, kimchi, drinks. 


Spicy Korean fried chicken, fried gyoza with nicely pickled veges, fried crispy kimchi pancake with dipping sauce. Everything is well cooked and tastes different from each other.

Jack's Place Steakhouse



40% off bundled meals from Jack's Place, making all of this just $35 almost the same price as a hawker center western food stall.


Nicely wrapped slice of garlic bread to go with my soup that was lumpy, I think it needs to be reheated before serving. The mushroom gravy sauce was also lumpy.


Sides of popcorn chicken, onion rings and curly fries that came with two dips of chili cheese & mushroom gravy. Everything is deliciously deep fried. The salad tastes a little different, I am not sure what it is. 


Grilled fish, beef steak, salty boiled veges and baked potato with all the trimmings. The fish is like chicken of the sea really meaty. The potato is a dream, soo buttery and soft. The steak was a little charred and tastes really beefy.


Apple pie for dessert that I didn't get to as I was too full, the crust is famously buttery & yummy. There is a can of Lemon Tea as well, it has the same slightly unusual taste as the salad.


Second helpings! This time around I ordered the steak with chicken combo, the beefy flavor is really nice. My favorite is still the buttery baked potato with all the trimmings.


Mushroom soup with a slice of garlic bread. This time around the soup is hot on arrival. The other wrapped parcel is the brownie, a really dense chocolate cake.


Really impressed with the calamari and ranch dip, wish I had ordered more of it. Caesar salad with dressing, veges are crisp & crunchy.

Clothing Shopping 2020




Is it because of the Great Singapore Sale, I can get Japan Fukubukuro prices on clothing here in Singapore right now. Get on Zalora.sg and search under Sale, look out for black labels that state additional discount codes apply, it means double discount on the items (like 40Labels or 30Selects that mean additional 40% or 30% discounts).


 Search by biggest discount for fashion clothing, search by highest price for designer brands, search by lowest price for wardrobe basics. This box contains 46 items and costs under $800sgd, each item costs $17.39sgd (16 dresses, 15 tops, 6 bottoms, 4 outerwear, 3 cz bracelets, 2 bags). Brands include Topshop, Wallis, Dorothy Perkins bags and Bullion Gold CZ accessories.





You can find a whole lot of clothing in your size. Don't be surprised size 30" waist is actually UK 16 or even International 18. If you are curvy then it has to be one or two sizes larger. Pics above of long sleeve tops, short sleeve tops and no sleeve tops. Pics below of more cotton tops, sweaters and sweater-like tops. I guess the difference is puffy sweaters go over existing clothes.




There's alot of ruffles here, more than I would normally choose for myself. There is also alot of black & white items including polka dots that I am not used too. Personally, I like the variety available. The business casual wear in my size is a dream, usually it comes in really tiny sizes. Once the material gets thinner, I plan on wearing thermal underwear with it all the time.


Full retail price of all the items in this box is $6,200sgd! I only paid 12.9% that's better than the end-of-season sales. Pics above of swingy long sleeve dresses, sleeveless cotton dresses, tailored shift dresses. Pics below of occasion dresses I would think. Strappy ruffled dresses, pleated long dresses, flappy butterfly sleeve dress in lamé and cold shoulder sleeve dress in sequins. 


I like the fake croc black pants, wish it was real croc, same for the fake tortoise shell bag. The only jacket I got is a tweed-looking one in ivory/metallic silver. These cz bracelets look like the lab-created diamonds selling in stores now. 


The other bottoms I got are cropped black jeans, green skinny jeans, blush wide leg pants and mint green baggy pants. There is only one skirt in fake suede that matches the burgundy fringe bag.

Early Start on Presents 2020


Did some online shopping these last couple of months and I had all the time in the world to do product and price comparisons. 



From Toys'r'us I got 20 sets of L.O.L. Biggie Pet Surprise, instead of a real living pet you get an adorable toy, its pretty cool right. This will be for the remaining birthdays this year, including one for myself. I also got 3 trays of Shimmer & Shine mystery rings as souvenirs for the Dubai tourists, cannot find anything else more appropriate.


Ordered cakes and non-coffee ice blended drinks from CBTL. The thousand leaves choco cake is like a giant ferrero rocher. I feel like the non-coffee ice blended drinks at CBTL are better than the coffee versions, orange juice and black forest.





From Swarovski SG I bought 15 sets of Mariah Carey Star Ornament that I am planning to give out over Christmas. I have bought Swarovksi crystal star ornaments several times before to hang in the windows and this design is new, so is the blueish color.


I also got the set of D&G-looking over-sized accessories as well. There is a 2 row necklace from this set that I didn't purchase as I thought it was a bit excessive. I like the ethnic looking tassel necklace that is very Tory Burch. The clip-on earrings are really quite light and lie flat so you can see it from the side when worn, not from the front. I was afraid to use too much force in case it breaks. 


These sales are found in advertised mailers & public holidays. In addition, search under "Outlet" on Swarovski SG. Clothing Deals coming up next!
