Dettol Radiance, for women to glow from within

I've been so busy with packing my luggage to fly to bkk, to coming back to unpack my luggage to CNY Cleaning, there's hardly any time for me to pamper myself other than shower time! And I love my shower foam to be pleasant smelling but at the same time have benefits to my skin, and I think I have found it.

Introducing the Dettol Radiance Range, where it has deep-cleansing formula which nourishes and purifies the skin. Unique blend of Vitamin B3 and C, the 2 Elixirs for Beautiful Skin! Vitamin B3 has long been regarded as the secret behind young and firm skin while Vitamin C is often lauded as the perfect antioxidant for healthy and supple skin. Coupled with Dettol’s renowned germ protection capabilities to remove germs and impurities, this impeccable harmony allows the skin to reveal its inner radiance and shine with a healthy glow. I always had a bad impression of Dettol soap because of the strong medicinal smell that lingers but after trying this, My Opinion totally changed! ♥

Thank you Dettol for sending over this D.I.Y Pampering set which I can pamper myself with at home with Dettol Radiance together!

Look at the picture below and create your own D.I.Y Body Scrub with Dettol Radiance to clear away all the dead skin and to reveal the glowing skin beneath. I certainly hope everyone who does this will see a significant difference on their body and feel that much better and a little more confident.

Talking about Glow, Do you know what makes me Glow? It's rather simple actually, It's to be able to eat good food and take good photos of the food that I'm enjoying with my friends and family around me!

[F.T] AZUR Chinese New Year 2014!

With the Chinese New Year Song Ringing in your ear when you step in to any shopping mall or shops in Singapore, Are you already feeling the CNY mood like I do? :) And with CNY comes reunion dinners and friends gathering for steamboat and lou hei, but do you want to make some special changes this year? Why not have your reunion/gathering dinner a buffet style? :)

Azur Restaurant aims to bring a taste of spring home with sumptuous Prosperity Yusheng options created by Executive Chef, Andrew Tharm, and his skilled team of culinary professionals available from 20 January – 14 February 2014.

Crowne Plaza's Prosperity Yusheng - Contemporary Version $48++

Alternatives are available: Wolf Herring ($48++), Sliced Abalone ($88++) and Mock Abalone ($42++)(Vegetarian Option) Each Set of Yusheng can serve up to 8 people and is also available for takeaway!

I love Lou Hei (Prosperity Toss) because of the salmon or the fishes that goes along with the shredded vegetables and the process of tossing where everyone will say good wishes for the New Year like "Best of luck for Work!", "Hope to strike 4D ah!" , "Good Health the whole year!" etc. I love the joyous vibes that radiates off everyone.

The following dishes that you are about to see are all available on the buffet line, eat to your heart's Content!

Smoked Duck with Citrus Fruit & Lychee

This refreshing cold dish will be served at the appertizer station (remember that Azur has a Buffet Line). Welcome Spring with this pair, Succulent Smoked Duck paired with citrus fruit to give a sweet start to spring!

Fortune Pig Trotter with Dried Oyster and Black Moss

Traditional CNY Hot Dish served Piping hot in chaffers. This Pig Trotters has Melt in your mouth Fats and Tender Meat. I think this is enough reasons for you to go try it! I personally loved it!

Double Boiled Dried Scallop and Golden Enoki Soup with Shredded Meat

Served as Asian Option at the Crown Soup Kettle (Next to seafood on ice)

Fried Rice with Eight Treasures

Executive Chef Andrew Tharm's rendition of 八宝炒饭. The 8 Treasures are: Gingko Nuts, Lotus, Prawns, Ham, Edamame, Waxed Pork Belly, Carrots and Eggs. This is one fried rice I would not miss out on the buffet spread. Normally I would skip the Carbs when I'm having a buffet but for this, I'll definitely make an exception. Fresh Prawns and crunchy nuts and the flavour of  the Waxed Pork Belly & Ham makes it unstoppable!

Steamed Seabass with Snow Fungus and Lilt Flower

The Most Important point for all seafood dishes is Freshness. If it's Fresh, It's good enough for me. The Vibrant Colours of the wolfberries and Lilt Flowers made this simple Steamed Seabass dish a more appetizing (and photo worthy) one!

Sea Cucumber with Chinese Mushroom Casserole

I'm no Veggie person but the cut of the Sea Cucumber in this dish is definitely eye opening. And Mushroom Lovers, Please just go dive into the huge Chinese Mushroom goodness. The other diners at the table were praising the mushrooms for being huge and not tough.

Eefu Noodles with Shimeji and Yellow Chives

I'll Love My Ee Fu Noodles Anywhere Possible. It's almost hard to find a good Eefu noodle out there now in Singapore that I treasure every single time I have it, and Azur's Version did not disappoint!

Osmanthus Creme Brulee with Seasonal Berries

A Play on the western style dessert with a touch of oriental goodness - the Fragrant Osmanthus Flower infused into the creme brulee is definitely a first for me and it was delighfully pleasant. 

Cherry Clafoutis with Vanilla Sauce

The Cherry Clafoutis is a light pudding filled with juicy cherries. Vanilla sauce is served seperately to be drizzled as per customer's desire at the Dessert Bar

[F.T] Bliss House Welcomes the New Year with a New Menu

I'm a believer in Love and I love dining in themed cafes and Restaurants. Where do I find Love and Food Together? I know of a place called Blisshouse, where Love thrives in the most unlikely places. It is situated A midst our urban concrete jungle, such a delight to dine in.

I was invited for a tasting session with Celes and Kaman and I was excited to revisit Blisshouse again!

p.s: Photos taken in this post are using a 50mm F1.8 Lens borrowed from Celes. :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I cannot live without drinks on my Table, even if it is just plain water! Haha, we got to try out some of the Ice Blended Drinks from the menu and I'm definitely not a Chocolate drink person. :)

The 2 chocolatey Drinks were surprisingly not over sweet like how some restaurants like to make it. The Passionfruit Oreo Bless was my favourite out of the 2! My choice, Bliss Yogurt Mango Perfume Smells as good as it taste. Not too sour and not too sweet, no artificial taste!

Drinks (L to R): Bliss's Passion Fruit Oreo Bless, Bliss's Yogurt Mango Perfume, Bliss's Mint Chocolate Oreo Bless - $12.00 Each

Who would say no to Nachos ? I would never miss out on nachos if possible! Blisshouse's Version has Smoked Chicken, Salsa, Aioli, Jalapeno Chilli, Mozzarella and Cheddar Cheese on Crispy Corn Chips baked to perfection. Yes, All these delicious ingredients are baked together with the chips so that the flavours are more enchanced! 

Nachos - $10.00

Appetizer was Fresh Scallops and Prawns marinated with Lime, Garlic, Dill and Olive Oil. Pan-seared to perfection served with light Carrot and Cucumber slaw.

Pan-seared Marinated Scallop and Prawns - $22.00

I love my pasta, Linguine to fusili to Spagetti. This Pan-seared marinated Scallops with tagliatelle tossed with Aglio Olio style was something I would choose when I'm craving for something not wet yet delectable.

Scallops Tagliatelle - $22.00

My Favourite of the night, This Pork Belly Confit has Slow braised 230g Pork Belly in bacon, Sage and Cream till tender served on a bed of Buttered Tagliatelle. I cannot explain how much the pork belly goes well with the tagliatelle. I could finish it off myself and not feel gelat at all.

Pork Belly Confit with Latte Tagliatelle - $20.00

Duck Leg bone is sous vide with Orange and Thyme served with Roasted Potatoes and Ratatouille with Orange Sauce. This is a good duck confit but definitely not the best. 

Orange Duck Confit - $28.00

Salmon wrapped with Parma Ham sous vide then finish in oven. Served with Roasted Potatoes, Garden Salad and Leek White Wine Sauce.

Parma Ham Wrapped Salmon - $28.00

When I saw this Oven Baked Cod Fish coated with Sundried Tomato Pesto on White Mornay Sauce, I knew I had to order it, I love my Fish, Any Fish! It is served with Roasted New Potatoes, Baby Asparagus topped with light Carrot and Cucumber slaw. Do not be deceived by it's "black brown" texture, what is hidden inside is a piece of good fish that you will crave for more!

Tomato Pesto Oven Baked Cod Fish - $38.00

My Favourite Time of the meal, Dessert time. Blisshouse serves up a Traditional Italian recipe tiramisu with a kick of Kahlua liquor served with dark chocolate coco powder. I love the moist fingers and the taste of the kahlua liquor! Yums!

Tiramisu - $11.00

The name of the dessert got me really excited to try it out. The Bacon Infused cream made into a velvetie custard slow baked to perfection topped with caramel crust was not strong in the savoury flavour but still good in the sweet custard and caramel crust. A little disappointed on the bacon flavour.

Bacon & Eggs Crème Brulee - $9.00

There are way more items on the menu and we could not finish trying them out, I would highly suggest ladies to go on wednesday nights to enjoy the free flow of somersby with your meal and make it a lovely night with good company, good ambience and good food.

With Love, M♥

And He left the other side of my head with loose curls. I feel like it was a male/female look together! You know what I mean? Hahaha. If you would ask me how do I feel at this point, I would tell you I am Super Happy with the results!!

Once again, Thank you Winson and everyone at Sas.sy Hair Studio for my beautiful hair and I wish you guys all the best for the New Year and I wish Sas.sy Hair Studio a more Prosperous New Year and Customers will keep coming in!
