Annette's WONDERFUL Playground

I like to eat tim sum, but every time when I walk pass THW at Plaza Singapura, seeing the long queue, I always change my mind and went somewhere else. Recently, THW opened another outlet in the busy neighbourhood, Toa Payoh, bringing the Michelin Star tim sum, closer to us. I had dine at THW in Hong Kong before, but not in Singapore. So when hubby suggested going to THW Toa Payoh, I said yes. We reach at about 2:15pm. There were about 15 people in front of us. I though that we could get a table easily at that time, but still gotta wait. We were given an order chit to pre-order while waiting for the table. That's me, taking my selfie, since I got nothing to do. Hungry, hoping that it's my turn soon. Finally, after almost 30 minutes, we were seated. The restaurant is small, and we were seated at the last table, at the end of the restaurant. Everything looks good and we choose 8 dishes. 马来糕 Steam Egg Cake $3.80 The texture i...

I took part in the Lakerol Facebook Giveaway and was picked as one of the winners. I got 2 packs of Lakerol Fruity Drops (Strawberry & Lemon) and 2 limited edition pens. They arrived in my mail box in a big white envelope. Hubby thought I had online shop again. The candy is minty and fruity with a liquid filled center.  I love the strawberry candy. Refreshing & Juicy in taste. This will be a great 'snack' when I need something refreshing to clear my brain after a hard day work. My brother prefers the Lemon candy instead. I love the pen too. Ink flow is smooth. Lakerol 27g  is selling at $2.00, you can get it at most supermarkets, 7-11 and Cheers. Lakerol is also having a promotion right now. Free GONG CHA with purchase of any 2 packs of Lakerol 27g or 40g. Check out Lakerol Singapore for more promotions and giveaway.

I love having a nature looking blush on my cheeks. I love it so much that I can't do without it. It can instantly transform dull skin to a "I just had a workout' flush in just a matter of seconds. What is a good cheek tint? A good cheek tint should be easy to apply and gives you a "Oh, so natural" blush that last the whole day.  Photo credits:  www.modelcocosmetics.com ModelCo Cheek & Lip Tint does the job well. First of all, it is easy to apply. Just dab a few drops on your cheek and blend in. Secondly, it can last the whole day, sweat proof. Thirdly, I love the fruity scent on my cheek. It comes out dark bloody red colour which blends out to a sheer natural pink on your skin. Check out ModelCo for more details of their product. You can also find it on Bellabox Sg , selling at $28.08.

My mum had been secretly complaining to me that she haven't been eating out since I was hospitalised. Further more, after I was discharged, I needed to stay home for confinement, thus, she had to cook for me everyday. So on my first off day after I report back to work, I bought dad and mum out to our favourite Korean restaurant for dinner - Aunty Kim's Korean Restaurant. Aunty Kim's Korean Restaurant had been here for a long long time. It is located along the stretch of Upper Thomson Road. Usually, it is fully seated at about 7pm. We were here early that day at 6pm, thus, it was still quite empty. There is only 2 outdoor tables, and the rest are indoors. All tables are nicely set. These are complimentary Korean appetisers. The appetisers changes everyday, so we usually have different combinations each time we dine here. Best of all, the appetisers are refillable and super delicious... This is my favourite. Dduck Pok Ki ($15). That...
