MBS Food Delivery



Food delivery from Yardbird @ MBS. There's a special takeaway box packaging for its signature fried chicken with waffles and watermelon.


Also ordered the lobster mac & cheese and lobster rolls. The bread roll used is really tasty. Mac & cheese is really rich & decadent, have to share this main course with someone.


Sweet bourbon maple syrup for the cheddar pancakes and bitter K-style hot sauce for the fried chicken. Loving the marinated watermelon cubes.


Cash delivery from Takashimaya Anniversary x LV collaboration, introducing the LV Twist to my bag collection in epi leather, I don't have anything epi leather at all.

Takashimaya Online Digital Sale

 

I wasn't planning on buying anything except maybe Japanese snacks and ended up entering the digital sale lucky draw, free home delivery.

I bought some silver jewelry, a pair of lapis lazuli earrings and an Etsy-style pendant made from burlwood and resin. This burlwood and resin combination is usually made into tables for around the same price as this silver necklace. 

Gonna pair it with a handmade silver pendant (I have 2!). The last time around I paired the silver pendant with a pearl pendant necklace from Citigems.


My original intention was to purchase one of these Novita rocking chairs that has massage & heat functions, but there are only the massage function ones left and its even on sale! Gonna wait to get what I want.

Halloween Candy


 

It's Friday the 13th and we are 2 weeks closer to Halloween. There's the big fright festival haunted house in Sentosa, I think Burger King meals have tickets to it. Or just watch scary movies on TV like me.
Loads of Halloween candy has also turned up like this Chupa Chups skull lollipop display on sale at Foodpanda, it comes with 50 x lollipops. There is also the usual seasonal flavors brand name candy with Halloween packaging. 

Or my favorite type of Halloween candy that I can empty into a bowl or container and it speaks for itself, individually wrapped of course.

Fruit Mju

 

Obsessed with these youtube videos of fruit mju stalls in Cambodia. They eat fresh or pickled fruits like noodles or rice with chili salts and fish sauce. I am satisfying this craving at home with salted plum & fruit juice.


Also tried making my own chili salt, its just chili and salt that you eat with fresh fruits or veges. Some people say have to add sugar to make it more palatable as this is an acquired taste. I like to add stock cubes or chicken powder.

Farming Game Apps


FarmLand is a game that keeps you busy all the time. I try to keep up with all the clicking on-screen until I get bored and move on.


Taonga the Island Farm is similar to Bermuda Adventures Farm in gameplay, only difference is the themes. Taonga has a Polynesian theme with adventures based on pirates and witchcraft. Bermuda has a more current & modern look with adventures based on sci-fi. 


The Sims doesn't have farming, it's called gardening and there are no farm animals involved (only pets).

The New Grocer

Looking for cheese imports here in Singapore and trying out a new supplier The New Grocer ($10 discount from my facebook page). There are loads of different types of cheeses from Europe and in larger quantities than just 100gm or 200gm. But, this is like searching in the dark, am I supposed to buy everything and try everything?

I did buy individual portions of tartiflette and raclette bacon, both are potatoes in cheese difference being type of cheese used as well as the herbs inside.

Someone was telling me to try comte cheese, I also added in queso al pimento or paprika goat cheese, smoked cheddar and smoked scarmoza.

To make a charcuterie platter, I am trying out their in-house deli selections for Italian, French and Iberico. Some artisanal pork pate and mini seasonal saucisson. I really liked the canned pates so far, hoping the fresh ones are ok.

Staying @ Home

 


Homemade $20 salad, at least the cherry tomatoes aren't sour this time.


Home fragrance instead of personal perfume, it's still perfume and I can spray it all the time at home. Going with the really sweet scents coz it makes a difference.


New laundry detergent pods, how exactly do you use this?


Instead of buying an oxygen nebulizer, I bought these tourist-y oxygen cans instead. Thought I could do without, but it actually came in handy.


Back to fresh vegetable platters, I am obsessed with this right now. Its a good thing the veges are washed clean before packing and are ready to eat. Adding in a french onion dip this time around, usually I go with flavored salt or recommended yogurt / sour cream.
