Gills N Shells New Steamed Seafood Basket

I'm back again at Gills N Shells. They have a updated menu and a brand new item that you make you say "AHOY MATEY!" Haha.

Gills N Shells is the perfect chill out location that is not in our central area but close by in Lavender area. Just a 5 minutes walk from Lavender MRT Exit B and you will reach Hotel Boss, where Gills N Shells is located.

Gills N Shells, as the name suggests, is all about seafood, from fish to oysters, they do it really well. Featuring the Oyster Shooter ($9.90/shot), it consist of a plump oyster doused in Vodka and lime juice. This is one shooter you will never forget and do not worry, you will not get drunk from this. Haha.

Gills N Shells have daily Happy Hour promotions for you to come visit any day of the week. We cannot miss out those munchies to snack too. Gills N Shells have 2 popular snacks, Fried Salmon Skin ($9.90) and also the Crab Nacho Chips($10.90). The former remains crunchy even until we finished off the last piece. Served with wasabi mayo, it is so good you would not want to stop!

Gills N Shells is the first cafe that I've known to serve Spicy Buffalo Frog Legs($16.90). I have had frog leg porridge before but spicy buffalo frog legs are a first for me. Big, fat, juicy buffalo frog legs are imported from Vietnam and they look like a huge chicken drumstick instead!! Haha. You've definitely got to try this.

Highlight of the night would have to be the All New Steamed Seafood Basket. The one you see is their All in one Steamed Seafood Basket ($88) which consist of a Boston Lobster, Snow Crab Legs, Prawns, Salmon Fillet, Oyster(2pcs), Mussels, White Clams, Scallops and Seasonal Vegetables. Great for sharing with a group of 3-5 friends over some beer & bites.

For couples who would like to try their steamed seafood can opt for a smaller portion to try. Choose the desired seafood and request it to be steamed. It will also be served in a Dim Sum basket, so cute right!!

There are 5 dips to choose from, Garlic Mayo, Wasabi Mayo, Cocktail sauce, Thai Sweet Chilli and my personal favourite, the Zesty Lime Green Chilli sauce. Well, you could always go without the dips as well, it all up to you!

I love the fresh, juicy and crunchy prawns the most as I am a prawn lover. Try it and let me know what is your favourite in the comments below

Pink Lashes for Breast Cancer Awareness with Vibbly Skin Beauty

October is Singapore's Cancer Awareness Month. And this month lash selection is based on this theme!

I got my lashes done in Pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness! Take a look!

Why breast cancer awareness? It's because I personally have relatives who have suffered from breast cancer. One relative made it thru just by removing one of her breast. However for the other relative, removing the breast wasn't enough. The cancer cells spread to other places as well. It hurts me to see others in pain. Having to take that bag of medicines and not being able to eat everything they desire. It taught me to be ever grateful to whatever I have and whatever I can do now.

Anyhoo, let's move away from that emotional paragraph .. haha. 

Super thankful to Veira for being able to work towards all my request every time! Haha. I just told her I wanted pink lashes to promote breast cancer awareness and tadaaa! I woke up 1.5 hours later to these beautiful lashes! 

Veira also added some gold lashes this time. It's looks so fancy but not too obvious la . Haha. And hor, I think since Halloween is near, having dramatic lashes for this month is perfectly fine, right? Haha . 

These are my previous 6D Lash Extensions after like 1 month or so, Still got alot hor!! Haha.

I super love Veira because she make me feel beautiful without any effort! Haha.

Gills & Shells @ Hotel Boss

I was invited by a friend to visit Gills & Shells for a dinner with my group of friends.

Located at Hotel Boss. it is just a 5 minutes walk away from Lavender MRT. Take Exit B and walk straight out until you see Hotel Boss. It's really not hard to miss this huge and brand new hotel.

So what's with Gills & Shells?

Gills & Shells is A Modern European Restaurant focusing on serving the best and the freshest seafood I what brings Gill & Shells out differently from the rest. Open by couple Jayson and Coreen, it is the perfect spot for locals and tourists to enjoy a cozy meal with its friendly modern ambience. The menu features their Chef's Daily Catch of freshest Seafood, Lobster and Oysters.

½ Dozen Freshly Shucked Oysters - $22.90

Served with homemade marmalade and French red wine vinegar sauce.
Personally I did not try them at all due to my previous experience with oysters bu my diner companions said that the oysters were really fresh & accompanied by the Homemade Marmalade and French Red Wine Vinegar sauce. The Homemade marmalade was so addictive! If you do not like raw oysters like me, Gills & Shells offer Baked oysters too! At the same price!

Wild Mushroom Soup - $6.90

If there is 1 thing to make you visit Gills and Shells, it will be their generous serving of Truffle oil in their dishes. I was like "Wah the truffle oil no need money one ah!" Haha! Their Wild Mushroom Soup is Made Fresh daily, drizzled with Truffle oil and served with In-house made Garlic Focaccia Toast. Souper Shiok la!

Not to be missed out is their Truffle Fries - $10.90 which yet again has generous amount of Truffle oil, which made us go on and on. I would like to highlight Gills & Shells Crab Cakes - $12.90 as well because its full of crabby flavour! It's a pity that I forgot to take a photo of its internal to show you how packed it is!

  

There are 2 sauce options for the Clams & Mussels - $15.90 - Spicy white wine clear broth with herbs, garlic, onions & chilli OR Smoky herb tomato garlic sauce. Both are served with Focaccia Toast. We went for the first option and BOY it was so Good I want to lick the plate dry! Gills & Shells is very generous with their seafood. The homemade toast, when soaked up with the sauce, it is simply divine. I would be back for more!

If you are craving for a Lobster Roll, look no further, Gills & Shells' Lobster Roll - $24.90 is packed with Succulent lobster roll meat tossed in Chef’s specialty sauce! Tucked in a homemade brioche bun, it is a great catch!

Kids and Adults will love this Crab Meat Pasta - $18.90 from Gills & Shells! It is meticulously made with cream, cheese, chunky crabmeat & wild Fungi. The cream is not Ge-lat (cloying) and the generous amount of crabmeat and fungi made me want to finish it on my own. Oops!

While I didn't taste this 200gram of Australian Prime Rib Eye - $25.90, my fellow diners were enjoying it! Grilled to a Medium Rare doneness, no pink was visible but the meat was tender in every bite. 

The Most Creative Dish of the night has to be the Truffle Infused Cod - $24.90. Why creative? It is because, Chef Xavier infused some local flavours into this dish. Nobody would have guessed that it was topped with Chye Poh (Preserved Turnips), something which locals could relate to but we never thought that it would taste so good with the cod! MUST TRY! It is served with a side of Saffron Rice. Oh my god, take me back now~

No meal is complete without desserts. Gills & Shell's Tiramisu - $10.90 (Contains Alcahol) & Brownie with Ice Cream - $10.90 was a great end to the night. The pot of Tiramisu was divine with every mouthful a burst of flavour. 

Thank you to Coreen for the invite and here's a photo pretty Coreen and Chef Xavier, who came to cook despite his leg injury. 

Kudos to him and the team!

Vibbly Skin Beauty - Colour Eyelash Extensions!

Eyelash extensions are getting really common nowadays and I must say that I'm craving to see something different. I visited Vibbly to remove my previous lash extensions and look at how lasting the lashes were after a total of 1.5 months. I am impressed since I'm a super rough person, the lashes can still stick to me without much care for it. Haha!

The lash removing process was nothing uncomfortable. First, a cream was applied to soften the glue used to attach the lashes and then Veira slowly removed the remaining lashes before doing a clean up on my natural lash. So I thought, what should I do this time round & I was introduced to Colour lash extensions! Say whatttttt. Yes! By adding Afew strands of colour lash to your normal lash extensions, it can bring out a whole new different feeling, more fun I guess! I was so excited I didn't know which colour combination to pick! I left it to Veira to decide for me. At first I thought red & purple or Pink & purple will be nice, but Veira say it might be too crazy for work, so we toned it down to Blue & Purple!

 

Here's the final look! It looks great doesn't it? The colour lashes are attached at the ends of my eyes to make the colors pop! At first I tot my whole eye was going to be made up of blue & purple lashes only! Hahaha!

And you can visit Vibbly for your fun eyelash extensions for this coming CNY! Look at the promotion!! p.s: that's my eye by the way! Hahaha!

Inserts a Selfie to show off my lashes. Haha. Be sure to give Veira a call to book your slots for Chinese New Year ya!

Vibbly Skin Beauty - Cellnique Aqualance 24 Therapy

*Sponsored*

Hello everyone, I am so excited to share with you my New Facial & Eyelash Sponsor - Vibbly Skin Beauty. I can now be more pretty everyday! You might have seen my Eyelashes Post previously, and today I'm going to share with you the facial that I did - Cellnique Aqualance 24 Therapy.

One of the 2 cozy rooms at Vibbly Skin Beauty. I love the purple themed room, very comforting.

Vibbly Skin Beauty uses CELLNIQUE Products which targets on giving you back the moisture you deserve. The range has a Sheet Mask, a hydrating complex, a apply on mask & aqua concentrate. Hearing all these is like a whole Water Parade Package for your skin! Haha.

Here's a Before Facial Face, (BFF). I think I look alright yea? Haha!

After Cleansing and exfoliation, come Extraction to remove all hidden dirt that causes little bumps and pimples on our faces. After Extraction, Veira will use an ultrasound machine to reduce the redness and also to disinfect the "wounds" and to prevent any infection.

After the whole facial session, My face felt really full of moisture and clean. And over the next few days after the facial, my face did not oil up as much as before. I love the effect of this facial and I believe if we do it continuously, it will be very beneficial for our Singaporean ladies skin as we are exposed to too much Sun & aircon which drys our skin too much. This is like a water refill facial la! Me love Me love.

Once again, Thank you Veira of Vibbly Skin Beauty for making me beautiful, And you can too!

Call them up and be in for a treat when you like their facebook on your first visit. Because December is the month of love and gifting! Ho Ho Ho!

1. Silk Lash - The most common type of lashes used in the market. Vibbly offer Black or Brown Silk Lashes.

2. Feather Mink Lashes - This type of lashes are softer than silk lashes, which also means it will present a softer, more natural look.

3. Premium Two-Tone & Colour Lashes - These are silk lashes with colour! For a more fun look, you can try these lashes instead!

4. 100% Real Mink Lash - The softest among all lashes. It is the most premium lash Vibbly offers.

Lashes come in different lengths and different thickness to achieve a wide variety of looks. From soft & Natural looks to Loud and dramatic looks to Sexy seductive looks. 3D & 6D lashes uses Mink Lashes to achieve the natural look.

Here we go, My Bare Lashes, Verdict by Veira is that my lashes are quite long but sparse. :( Save me !!

A Comparison of the 2 eyes - Before & After. A dramatic difference in volume and length. I have on a range of lash length, from 9mm to 11mm C curl lash which will create a more natural look, and this one is more suitable for people who usually wear specs, that's why Veria did the shorter length for me. So considerate! And C curl lashes is among the most popular choice of lash for ladies to achieve the natural look.

Done! You can see my eye abit red because I felt a little stinging sensation during the process, but Veira advised to wear contact lens when doing the lashes to minimize the stinging sensation. This is the first time I'm seeing my eye so close up! haha!

Bellwethers - Brunching in a Bar

Nestled in a corner of Singapore’s oldest red light district, Bellwethers Bistro Bar adds a modern touch to the culturally rich enclave of Little India. Bellwethers Bistro Bar emphasizes simplicity in its design and focuses on allowing customers to bask in the edgy and unpretentious cultural heritage of the locale. 

Located just on the fringe of the city, Desker Road is a quirky and unconventional neighborhood rich in history and full of color. The appeal lies in its raw, edgy feel and the idiosyncratic characters who form the backdrop of this unique environment. 

This avant-garde neighborhood transports us out of the immaculate, pristine, constructed city that Singapore has long been both highly acclaimed and maligned for. Away from the tall skyscrapers and glitzy shopping malls, Desker Road is lined with beautifully restored shop houses that exude a quaint Peranakan charm. Bellwethers’ goal is to create a quirky and offbeat watering hole away from the humdrum of Singapore’s concrete jungle and bring cool to this charming hidden gem.

Hits & Miss Here. While I love The Big Breakfast and the Egg Benedict, The Foie Gras was tough and the pancakes lack the aroma to make me want to go for it again. Atmosphere is pretty good, pretty quiet area for a real relaxing brunch.
