Before i start on this post, This post would not be a super long post and i would like to clarify to you guys that this is not a sponsored post, Taobao did not pay me to post this. I'm just sharing it out with you guys honestly from the bottom of my heart. So if you find that this post sounds fake, you are welcome to leave.

As you all should know, Chinese New Year is just round the corner, but things are getting so much more expensive in retail shops. So here are a few suggested shops online that you can visit to get your new year stuff. Let's start of with where to get guys wear.

末末的世界旗舰店
I love the style of this shop, preferably a little more to the korean mix taiwan feel to me.

太平鸟联合创景专卖店
The simplicity of the design was the one that caught my attention. Pretty decent quality too.

梵赛雅旗舰店
Let's move on to the ladies, so for me personally this year i wanted to wear something traditional but not something commonly seen. So let me introduce you to my new favorite shop.

LIVIAHOME服饰店
If you don't feel like wearing something traditional, maybe this shop would be nice to pick a few outfit :)

Hope this few shops that i'm sharing with you guys could help bit in your new year shopping. Let me explore more shops before i share them with you guys again. Signing off.

Located just behind the lobby of The Sultan, step into the bright and beautiful One Bowl Restaurant & Bar. Enjoy all-day dining in the elegantly decorated space and savour the goodness of Singaporean home cooking by Head Chef Tammie Loke who brings with her decades of experience in entertaining the most discerning guests.

It's rare to find a Restaurant & Bar in a hotel in Singapore with such good standard of Singaporean Style Char Siew at such cheap price. To be exactly i think the price of this Restaurant & Bar is counted to be relatively cheap.


Signature Char Siew in Fried or Steam Mantou
By just looking at this photo, i am already drooling. Gosh i miss this. Their Mantou stuff with Char Siew and Cucumber was my favorite dish, you can try it in either Friend or Steam Version. Personally i prefer the Fried Mantou more. HAHA, but i mean if you don't really like fried food, you can always go for the Steam one. [$4 for two mantou or $10 for six] I guess you know how to do your math.

Spring Roll (Vegetarian)
Their spring roll is really crunchy and juicy. It's often not my favorite dish to eat locally, but this i love the filling in it. I think is good. Quoted by my bestfriend:"The spring roll was good actually, it wasn't too salty but yet flavorful. It remained crispy even though it was cold already (cause we spent some time taking photo of the food). Together with the chili, it neutralizes the sweetness and saltiness of this dish."

Signature Char Siew Noodles/Rice
So the highlight of this meal was totally Char Siew, i think we only had 2 dish that didn't have it, That show's how much we actually love eating the Char Siew. It's tender and it just melt when you eat it. PLUS IT IS NOT AS OILY AS YOU THINK IT IS. Is a total MUST TRY thing when you are there. Personally i find that both have it's own unique taste to it, so i can't tell which is really better. BOTH ARE MY FAVOURITE.

Claypot rice
Special Claypot Chicken Rice with salted fish, chicken and sausages. The Cantonese call this “Yau Mei Fan” which means flavourful rice and indeed it’s very fragrance and tasty. The rice was well seasoned with black soy sauce and well cooked. The portion of Chinese sausages were generous. Only thing is that there is no charred rice at the bottom of the claypot since it's call claypot rice, says Sam.

I would say the ambience is pretty decent for both private lunches and also larger gatherings too, but i would recommend to make a reservation first before heading down to check if there is availability. I will definitely be back for more Char Siew, cause i am already craving for it. Also follow their facebook to find out more informations and updates.

So for those of you that don’t know how to get to Montigo Resort, Nongsa, you will have to get a ticket that shows from Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Nongsapura Ferry Terminal. The ride will last about 45 minutes, even faster and cheaper than a plane for a short gateaway. 

When you reach the Terminal, there will be people shouting “Montigo Resorts, Nongsa” so just follow them and they will guide you to the shuttle bus. The journey from Nongsapura to Montigo Resorts, Nongsa was about 5 minutes if i am not wrong.

What mades your day brighter than a friendly smile and their super lovely mascot to greet you upon arrival at Montigo Resorts, Nongsa. The first thing b saw it was like, "OHMY IS THAT YOU?" lol. Does it really look like me?


The amazing view you get to see when you explore the area, it's just magnificent and beautiful. You get to be the Kings & Queens there throughout the entire stay, you barely need to walk. But it’s kinda a chance that you will be fat cause of your laziness but who cares, I’m in paradise. Be prepared to be spending ALL your time in Montigo Resorts’ compound.


Time to check-in to our Villa. For 2 person, this is definitely a pretty big villa. On the first floor, it's our living room and our personal swimming pool. Going up to the second floor, it will be the bedrooms. Each bedroom has a toilet in it, just the master bedroom has a bigger bathroom. Lastly, the rooftop, is just the exact chilling spot to be at, so wide and spacious.

Afraid your children will be bored there, fret not. There is a wide range of activities for kids to enjoy. Presenting you the Tilo Kids Club.

Let me introduce to you my favorite restaurant in Montigo Resorts, Nongsa, TADD'S. Trying out their Rijsttafel Set. This set is definitely mean for 2 person or maybe 3 if you don't eat much. Rijsttafel set consist of yellow or white rice (I would highly recommend you to mix both), mixed vegetables on coconut gravy, spicy tiger prawn, wok fry squid chili lime soya sauce, grilled fillet of snapper green and red chili sambal, chicken stew on coconut yellow broth, beef stew in Batavia style, and lastly the sweet corn fritter. I would highly recommend this, is just taste dam good. My favorite will definitely be the grilled fillet of snapper green and red chili sambal, the fish taste really fresh, tender and it actually melts in your mouth. B's favorite was the Batavia style beef stew, he legit finished it all.

There are others that you could try it out on that menu, like you can get to make your own pasta, the desserts, etc...

1. Poach Pear Salad (Scottish Smoked Salmon with Mix Green)
2. Chicken Consume (Chicken Wanton and Veggie)
3. Herb Crusted Red Snapper Steak
4. Classic Tiramisu

TIIGO beach club is cool across every detail. Unwind in the comfort of shaded outdoor loungers, at the sand park or on the cabana beds, as you lazily gaze out at the magical Montigo sunset. If you have more than enough time there, why not try out their cooking class. I honestly had a fun time learning on how to cook. Let me proudly present my two dish that i cooked with b to you. I honestly think, this is a great experience to learn a few of their local dish, which is like a skill that can be brought back home (Singapore) and cook for those who have not tried their local dish yet.
