Cymbopogon Hand Cream (Lemongrass scent)

I always love Lemongrass scent because it's so refreshing and it helps to relax my mind.

Nourishing hand cream with extracts from Soybean, Grape Juice, Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter to help moisturises, smoothen and protect delicate hands.

* Shea Butter : for soft, smooth and supple skin. 

* Cocoa Seed Butter : great for people who's living in a cold country or always in the air-con environment ( ok, it's me! haha!). It helps to rehydrate thus feeding dry and 'hungry for moisture' skin. 

* Grape Juice Ferment Filtrate: The extract from well-selected grape from Italy. It helps decrease wrinkles and firm skin-leaving only young looking skin. 

* Organic Rose Water: It is known as skin astringent that helps tighten skin.

Tips: Not only can you use it as a hand cream, you can even apply on areas where you get mosquito bites! Lemongrass is a natural mosquito repellent. So do keep one in your bag! :)

[Food Review] PODI at Raffles City Shopping Centre - serving all day breakfast and grills

Hello everyone!
I know I've not been updating my blog as often but rest assured, I will do so now because I have many things to share with you guys!

I was invited to a newly open restaurant, setup by the Bakery Depot who brought us Cedele and now is already one month old, at Raffles City Shopping Centre, PODI earlier in October 2013.

Food and drinks which we'd tasted that night :)

I will start with the Eggs & Waffles...

Baked Egg Pots

Baked eggs with chorizo and goat cheese in tomato sauce.

Zerika says: The egg does neutralize the salty taste of the chorizo, well done on this dish but it's not one of my favorite. 

I had rose bud tea to accompany with the tasting. Rose bud tea is popular among the ladies for its beauty benefits. :)

Next up,

Duck Berry Waffle

Waffles topped with gourmet duck confit served with egg, blueberry compote & maple syrup vinaigrette

Zerika says: I would say that this dish is quite an unique one where you get to taste the sweet and slightly sour blueberry accompanied along with the waffle and the duck confit is tender enough.

This dish is a little dry and breaking the egg yolk to let it run does the trick. :)

 

Stuffed French Toast

Spinach brioche with eggs, smoked ham, brie cheese and maple syrup

Zerika says: This is one of my favorite dish of the night. Great for brunch and it's not just an ordinary ham and cheese sandwich, it's panned with spinach brioche with eggs and along with greens. I didn't add any maple syrup because I feel that it's taste great enough. 

Next will be the Salad...

Prawn & Crab Spinach Salad

Baby spinach, grilled prawns , crab meat, lemon zest drizzled with peppermint and lemon vinaigrette

Zerika says: I actually love greens so this is good for me. However, I would definitely love it if there's more salad dressing instead as its a little drying for me. Otherwise, its good.

Chicken Pot

Chicken thigh simmered in a pastry pot with potato and seasonal vegetables served with toast

Zerika Says: Chicken thigh so tender and yummy. The sauce is neither too salty nor tasteless, its pretty good actually. Served with toast and salad, its a healthy meal indeed.

If I were to go back to Podi, I will order this.

Argentina Sirloin Steak

Argentina steak grilled till medium with chimichurri & mustard cream sauce with 2 sides

Zerika says: Honestly speaking, I don't take beef (yes, it's because of religion) but because I want to share with you the taste of it, I had taken a small bite of it. The beef is a little tougher than I thought. I would prefer it to be a little tender than tough. it's really tiring to chew though.

(*I will only eat beef if i'm outside of house and only when it's for tasting purpose. Other than that, no..)




Alright, show you my face. haha!


If you're having beef for your meal, do remember to order a glass of wine to go along with. :)

Mexican Spiced Hat

Nigella-spiced meringue thins with 2 scoops of ice-cream

Zerika Says: This pretty decorated dessert definitely a great way to end your meal. We had sorbets that night and it was totally refreshing. How can you resist this temptations huh?

The Nigella-spiced Meringue adds a little touch of spice and it taste pretty okay with the sorbets.

Whoopie Pie

Two cake-like cookies with a creamy, orange earl grey flavored filling

Zerika Says: It looks kinda like an ice cream sandwich doesn't it? 

Well, Overall it taste not too bad but I would prefer the filling to be an ice cream or at least served cold.

[Entertainment] USS Halloween Horror Nights 3 at Resorts World Sentosa Singapore with my girlfriend.

wooooo~ Ghostly photo for you guys! 

Had an awesome night with my girlfriend, Cindy on 19 October 2013 (Saturday) as we went to test our guts at the USS Halloween Horror Nights 3. 

We took the Sentosa Express to Waterfront Station where it is the nearest to USS, and walked over after we had our dinner at Vivocity. 

My advice for people going by Sentosa Express is that you guys should go in earlier.

Go for an early dinner then go in or have your dinner at RWS because Vivocity's restaurants or eateries are literally packed  and with long queue.

We intend to be ready by 7pm after dinner but most restaurants at Vivocity were full house so we gotta wait awhile longer than usual. Manage to get into the Sentosa Express tram by about 7+ 8pm even though the queue to it was pretty crazy. 

It's expected especially for events like Halloween.

Here's us at the intersection of USS..

Some of the crowd had their face painted just outside USS.

If you want to, you can get it painted before heading in. :)
Not too sure if they do charge for it cause too many people crowding around the face painting booth and I was short to see what exactly happening there so we just headed in. :)

Check out the crowd...

One of the Haunted Trail which we manage to queue for and experienced, Adrift.
We had to queue about 2 hours to get in and be prepared, cause it's a little warm. Not to worry about getting thirsty while queuing because there's always zombie staffs walking around selling beverages.

It's pretty hard to plan your timing especially their Halloween operating hours is from 7pm-1am. (timing too short and queuing for trails kills it).
So you gotta really check which attraction is the shortest and go for it first. 

Even Sesame Street looks kinda eerie too~ 

Didn't manage to take any photos of the trail. Go experience it yourself. 

It's really different from looking at pictures :)

The main area became the cemetery and you may never know when the 'zombies' are standing beside you or walking pass you.

It was pretty dark so I had to take photos with flash. 

You will probably take a second look at this to see if it's scare actors or not. LOL!

They blend in pretty well during the night and it was dark so you can't see them clearly.
They'll just appear out of no where and scare you. lol!

The Galaxy section.

Yeah, they become zombies from the galaxy and they dance with the beat!

The DJ was playing "Low" by Flo-rida and they literally danced around. So cute!

And then they queue up to leave for break. While they are queuing, they have a synchronized dance move..super cute!

The leader..

Then we headed to play the 'Mummy' rides.

Yes, the whole time we were literally walking in the dark with smoke in the air.. 

'This' scares me! lol! 

It was already pass 1am and there's still many people getting their pictures taken with 'ghosts/zombies.

Here's one I find it super funny.

The 2 couple 'ghost' was scaring the passersby and posing for their pictures taken.

Then this guy who wear cap, did funny face at both of them and that's how they look at him weirdly too. lol! 

We played quite a few rides such as the Mummy and Transformers and mostly you got to wait for about 50 mins for it. Trails are from 130mins to 150mins in between. 

*depending on the crowd though.

Us queuing for the Transformer ride.

It was definitely an awesome catch up with my girlfriend and able to have a great night spent at USS.

You can book your tickets at this link.

*Be warned*

Taking a cab home from RWS can be a little disastrous if you don't mind queuing for
1 to 1.5 hours...again. Like we already been queuing for the past few hours and even going home, we have to queue for it. So yeah, be prepared to queue for taxi if you intend to take a cab out from RWS. And to be honest, no point walking out of Sentosa and wait for cab near the main roads because most of the drivers will still turn into RWS.

So, the main point is: just queue at the RWS Taxi Stand. :)
lol!


Hope everyone had an enjoyable October so far.

And if you guys not sure where to go on 26th October, Saturday for Halloween party, Read up my next post! :)

Till then,
