Starbucks Fizzio Sparkling Beverage

My Starbucks card is loaded with a 1 for 1 for Starbucks Fizzio Sparkling Beverage and decided to head down to try their creations after a hearty and a tad bit of thirsty meal at KFC. 

KFC Umakara Chicken - A Taste Beyond Words Food Review

KFC Singapore releases its first ever Umakara Chicken and Shrooms Poppers on 13th July and I have been wanting to head over for a first-hand experience! KFC was filled with this aroma Umami spice when I first entered and I knew instantly that it would be a ‘WOW’ for me! My girlfriend and I have to wait a whole 20 minutes for the Umakara Chicken and the smell of the spice in KFC was making us two hungry girls. BUT the wait was worthwhile!

The word ‘Umakara’ is derived from the words ‘Umami’ and ‘Karai’. Umami means ‘Savory’ which is one of the five basic tastes (together with Sweetness, Bitterness, Sourness and Saltiness). This combination of words was chosen by Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda from Umai (うまい) "delicious" and Mi (味) "taste". Karai means ‘Spicy or Hot’. ,Together, we coined it as Savory Spicy Hot Delicious KFC Chicken!

House of Seafood Ala Carte Menu Food Review at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre

Wondering where to go on Eve of a Public Holiday?
I was scrolling through Groupon for some last minute deals and I find myself heading over to House of Seafood at Upper Serangoon Shopping Centre once more. My family and I had Ala-Carte dishes instead of the previous Korean Seafood Tower we had in my previous post.

It was a really awesome deal though- fancy paying $99 for $200 worth of vouchers where GST and service charge are both included! We saw that Groupon has this Welcome deal where they deduct $10 off your bill if you're a new user and we cheated by creating a new account. All in all, it is just $89 for $200 worth of Vouchers!

I have to admit that the building looks run-down but definitely not for the food. The food are up to restaurant standard and the portions are very generous. Of course, it would be worth it only if there is 50% off for the Vouchers. Trust me, the food were really awesome that I am thinking of bringing my family down for another trip!

Pocket Maplestory - Mark of Honor Farming Locations

Mark of Honor Farming Locations

(Updated on Dec 2016)
Different monsters from different locations drop the Mark of Honor for each characters. I have compiled and tested most of the locations where you can farm Mark of Honor in the tables below. Note that Mark of Honor does not drop from monsters that are 16 levels lower than your character. However, you can still farm the medals from low level monsters in the Guild dungeon – Guild Fortress of Honor. Do let me know if there any are other maps that I did not include! 

McDonald’s Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Burger, Twist & Shake Fries & Gula Melaka McFlurry Food Review!

McDonald's Singapore challenges itself to the taste buds of Singaporeans in a whole new level- in terms of packaging, Singlish and its new limited time offerings! This promotion is offered from 30 June 2016 for a limited time only. I passed by McDonald's during Noon and saw that the queues were really long and decided to head down after mid-night so that i can skip those queues. Nonetheless, McDonalds seemed to be fully crowded with people as well and I was lucky to find myself a seat to take photos!

Salted Egg Yolk Chicken Burger

Wow. When I saw this promotion as well as the long queues forming, I thought I definitely have to give it a try. Who doesn't love Salted Egg Yolk combination? I thought you could never go wrong with Salted Egg Yolk!

Pardon me for the lighting though as it was really late and the seat that I found did not have very fantastic lighting. :X 

Huge slap of Salted Egg Yolk on the burger and it got me really happy to see that initially! Except to find out that mine doesn't have curry leaves as i guess they ran out of stocks >.<

How McDonald's describes it: Breaded whole-muscle chicken topped with mouth-watering salted egg yolk flavoured sauce and finished with crunchy lettuce and fragrant curry leaves. All tucked between a black pepper and white sesame bun.
My Verdict: The Chicken patty tastes and look the same as the patty in McSpicy except without the spiciness- chicken by itself taste okay. The combination with the salted egg yolk wasn't really fantastic as the salted egg yolk tastes more sweet than salty. It tasted more like sweet custard than authentic salted egg yolk. 

Don't Say 'Bo Jio'
Banana Pie



How McDonald's describes it: Delicious flaky crust filled with warm banana bits. It’s simply ‘sedap’!
My Verdict: I feel that the taste is acceptable given its warmness and the rich fillings. However, the taste of banana seems artificial though. I would still head down to authentic goreng pisang stalls for goreng pisang cravings. :)

Do You 'Jiak Kantang?'
Twist and Shake Fries

How McDonald's describes it: Crispy, golden curly fries dusted with tantalising salt and pepper crab flavoured shaker. Indulge in this new irresistible treat!My Verdict: Personally I feel that Twister fries has this unique salty and spicy flavor to it. I added the shaker to normal fries instead and it definitely tasted better than its combination with Twister fries!

Guka Melaka


How McDonald's describes it: Velvety vanilla soft serve swirled with gula melaka flavoured syrup and delicious layer cake bites. Satisfy your sweet tooth with this luscious dessert!
My Verdict: The best creation of all in this series! The layered cake bites looks like kueh lapis but it is hard instead of soft. Its crunchiness accompanied with the soft serve ice cream was pefect!

Overall: Worth to head down just to give it a try. 
I would not go back for second serving though (^0^)// I still prefer McSpicy!
