OMU Japanese Omurice Singapore Food Review

Posted on March 20, 2018 by missuschewy

I didn’t know that an omurice restaurant opened in Singapore until I was at Suntec City earlier this year and saw a really long queue outside OMU Japanese Omurice. I guess the only legit omurice that I had was at Kichi Kichi in Kyoto during our trip to Japan in 2016 and hence, I wasn’t particularly keen on trying OMU Singapore especially with such a long queue. It was my kaki Mag‘s idea to check this place out so I suggested meeting at 5pm for dinner on a Saturday! Thankfully, we were able to march right in as there were plenty of empty tables around and even got a place to park our stroller with a sleeping littlemisschewy in it.

We ordered an appetizer to share among the three of us and an omurice each. There is an option to top up $2 for lava-style omurice. The eggs are cooked till the surface is set, but the inside is half-cooked, creamy and full of texture. It requires the skill and experience of the chef to cook the perfect lava-style omurice! On the overall, we felt that the omurice that we had were surprisingly good given the wallet-friendly prices and reasonable portions. The sauces were also addictively yummy! Scroll down for photos!

Omu Style Cheese N’ Chips ($7.80)

Demiglace Sauce Omurice with Pork Burger ($13.80)

Nagoya Style Red Miso Sauce Omurice with Pork Cutlet ($14.80)

Cream Sauce with Bacon and Mushrooms & Hayashi Sauce Omurice Rice ($12.80)

Do I recommend dining at OMU Singapore? Yes definitely! Just remember to avoid lunch and dinner timings! 🙂

Is There a Certain Age to Considering a Facelift?

Posted on March 19, 2018 by missuschewy

When you want to look younger and improve the contours of your face, a facelift is one of the most effective procedures at helping you reach this goal. However, it’s important that you opt for a facelift at the right age, as obtaining one too soon may be unnecessary when other treatment options would be preferable. To best understand whether or not there’s a certain age at which you should consider a facelift, it’s first important to understand what a facelift is and everything that it entails.

What is a Facelift?

A facelift is a very common type of plastic surgery that helps to improve the most noticeable signs of aging and can be applied to both the face and the neck. There are a variety of issues that a facelift can assist with, such as fat that has fallen within the cheeks, the development of jowls in the jaw or cheeks, deeper lines around the corner of the mouth, and sagging skin that occurs naturally with age. These aging problems can be expedited for a wide array of reasons, ranging from smoking too much to sun damage on the skin. There are times when a facelift will be used in combination with additional plastic surgeries like eyelid surgery or a brow lift. It’s important to understand that a facelift only improves the contours of your face and neck, as it can’t completely reverse the effects of aging.

What Does the Facelift Procedure Entail?

The exact details of a facelift depends somewhat on how much changes you want to be made to your face or neck areas. As with most plastic surgeries, a facelift will begin with the administration of general anesthesia. The procedure will then start with one of three options that depend on the degree of change that you wish to see. These options include a limited incision facelift, a traditional facelift, and a neck lift. If you select a standard facelift, the incision will extend from the temples to the back of the ear, which makes for the lengthiest incisions with these procedures.

If you choose a limited incision facelift, the incisions will occur around the lower portions of the ear, while a neck lift calls for similar incisions to the limited incision facelift with the primary difference being that the neck lift incisions extend further back to the posterior hair. Once the incisions have been properly made, the skin and the fat underneath will be rearranged to provide tighter and more youthful looking skin. The incisions will then be closed once any excess skin has been removed. The sutures that are used to close the incisions will typically be removed after several days. Given the placement of the incision lines, they will fade into your hairline in a matter of a week or two.

Is There a Certain Age That’s Best For a Facelift?

There’s no exact age wherein it’s recommended that you obtain a facelift, as this type of procedure is highly personal and should only be requested when you’re certain that it’s something that you truly want. It won’t completely alter how you look, but there will be some changes made to your appearance with this procedure. Most plastic surgeons do not want to perform this type of procedure on patients who are below the age of 30, although exceptions can be made depending on the circumstances.

You can consider obtaining a facelift between the ages of 35 and 65, although the best time to get a facelift is widely considered to be between the ages of 45 and 50, which is due primarily to the fact that these procedures are designed to preserve the natural look of a person’s face. As a person gets older, their results will be more dramatic, particularly over the age of 60, which is why it’s recommended to address the signs of aging early.

Facelift Recovery

The recovery process for a facelift procedure is a short and simple one in most cases. It’s possible that your face will be bandaged for a small period of time in order to minimize the swelling and any bruising that you experience. After a few days, the stitches will be removed or will dissolve on their own. If the swelling and bruising do not subside in a couple of weeks, make sure to contact your surgeon. You can return to normal activities in around 7-14 days, depending on the speed of your recovery.

Dr. Andrew Frankel is a renowned facelift specialist located in Los Angeles. He is currently board certified in ear, nose, and throat surgery as well as facial plastic and reconstructive surgery. He specializes in revision rhinoplasty and standard rhinoplasty procedures and performs additional procedures such as a neck lift and facelift.

Singapore World Water Day: Make Every Drop Count!

Posted on March 16, 2018 by missuschewy

As the finance minister of The Chewys family, I am always scrutinising our water bills and trying to find ways to reduce our household water consumption. After all, we are just a small family of two adults and two toddlers; I doubt we should be using THAT much water.

I decided to find out more at the annual month-long Singapore World Water Day (SWWD) campaign on 3rd March at the Marina Barrage. I was heartened to know that there were many other like-minded Singaporeans who wanted to do their part in helping to save water!

Guest-of-Honour President Halimah Yacob kicked off the SWWD event with a speech.

There were a number of booths run by both volunteers and students. For someone as clueless as me, it was an eye-opening experience learning about the various water-saving habits that one can adopt!

We use the washing machine daily as the sight of dirty clothes piling up in the laundry basket can be quite an eyesore. It is no wonder our water usage is so high! Through the SWWD campaign, I discovered that laundry contributes to one of the top water usage areas in household water consumption and that we should always try to wash our clothes on full load instead of running many small loads of laundry. Every time the washing machine is used, water is consumed, hence it is more efficient to consolidate washes!

I am not so guilty of taking long showers because mothers hardly have a peaceful time in the bathroom. LOL. However, if you have been enjoying your private karaoke sessions during shower time, please remember to not get carried away and stay in the bathroom for a longer time than you should! As a rule of thumb, always limit your shower time to not more than 5 minutes! Also, don’t forget to turn off the water while shampooing your hair and soaping up!

Did you know that if you flush a toilet 4 times a day on full-flush, you use 18 litres of water? Using 2 half-flushes instead will save you 3 litres of water and that’s 2 bottles of water saved! So, always remember to use half-flush when possible!

This might seem like a no-brainer but misterchewy and I haven’t been using a mug when brushing our teeth. We would cup our hands and scoop water directly from the tap when rinsing our mouths. Come to think of it now, this very act wastes water as the tap runs while your hands are away from the faucet. Okay, time to buy couple mugs! Hahaha!

Young children were also educated on water-saving habits through fun and games at the SWWD event. Besides gaining awareness on saving water, it is also important to pledge to do so. SWWD’s Water Conservation Ambassadors will reach out to residents either door-to-door or at SWWD roadshows to encourage the community to take up the “I Save” Pledge, adopt the five water-saving tips and reduce their water consumption.

Make every drop count! Everyone has a part to play in conserving water, in keeping our waterways clean, and in caring for Singapore’s precious water resources. Always remember that a little goes a long way!

The Chewys’ 5th Customary Wedding Anniversary Dinner at Kyuu by Shunsui

Posted on March 7, 2018 by missuschewy

The hubs and I celebrated our 5th customary wedding anniversary last Saturday, 3rd of March. We (or rather, misterchewy) already had plans to go ahead without the kids but I conducted a poll on my IG story just for the fun of it and more than 70% voted that we should “dump the kids” instead of taking them along with us. LOL! Well.. It was a good idea because we managed to catch Black Panther before dinner!

Located along Keong Saik Road, Kyuu by Shunsui opened late last year and had been on my list of restaurants to visit. This place only operates during dinner time, offering a ten-course sashimi and robatayaki course menu from 6pm to 8pm, and a la carte menu from 8pm to 12am.

We went for the Omakase Kyuu Course ($129++ per pax) and started off with 3 Kinds of Assorted Appetizers – Red Snapper And Japanese Ginger With Sumiso, Home-made Sesame Tofu covered With Starchy Sauce And Wasabi, and Soft Simmered Duck Topped With Home-made Miso. We weren’t quite blown away yet but these were enough to tantalize our taste buds and look forward to the rest of the dishes.

Instead of 7 kinds of sashimi, we opted for the Assorted 9 kinds of Sashimi (+$15 per pax). It was a visual feast! Some of my favorites were the ikura, uni, scallop, red shrimp and tuna belly!

Six out of the ten courses were Robatayaki dishes.

Upon biting into the Eggplant with Sweet Red Miso, misterchewy and I were quite amused that the sauce reminded us of chee cheong fun; it was too strong for my liking and covered up the taste of the grilled eggplant.

I really like the doneness of the Tuna Belly with Truffle Ponzu Sauce; slightly raw with a bit of bite, soaking up the delicious savory sauce, although the taste of truffle was indiscernible.

My love for mushrooms is heightened thanks to Kyuu’s King Oyster Mushroom with Sweet Soy Sauce. Crunchy and very juicy!

The King Crab with Vinegar and Sudachi Lime was a slight disappointment as we had a fairly difficult time extracting the meat from the shell. Also, the meat seemed to be a little too over grilled. The saving grace was the home-made dipping sauce.

We noticed that the Fruits Tomato with Setouchi Seaweed Salt had been sitting on the grill for the longest time! It was bursting with the sweetest flavors and went really well with the accompanying salt.

As misterchewy and I don’t take beef, we were offered the Snapper with Teriyaki Sauce, which was moist and flaky. My only complaint is that the portion is too small for a Kagoshima A4 Wagyu Beef substitute. LOL!

Next dish on the menu was the Hokkaido Nanatsuboshi Rice with Salmon Roe and Sea Urchin (+$29 per pax). Initially, we were puzzled when the waitress placed three empty bowls in front of us. We were then asked to choose small, medium or large for our serving of rice. This is medium size!

This was definitely the highlight of the night! The waitress told us that she would be scooping ikura onto our bowls of rice and to let her know when it was enough.

"YOISHO! YOISHO! YOISHO!" It was definitely fun and exhilarating watching the kimono-clad waitress pile ikura onto the Hokkaido nanatsuboshi rice until we shout "ENOUGH!" @kyuubyshunsui . . 📍29 Keong Saik Road, S089136

With every spoonful we took, we were sent to ikura and uni heaven!

A simple Home-made Green Tea Ice Cream to end our 10-course dinner!

Thanks misterchewy for the memorable dinner treat! :333

Maeklong Railway Market near Bangkok

Posted on March 2, 2018 by missuschewy

Sawadee kaaa~ I’m gonna share a bit about our day trip to Maeklong Railway Market during our Bangkok trip. Wouldn’t say it was very successful because I think I was the only one in the group who was excited to visit this place. LOL. And because of that, we didn’t spend a lot of time at the market and I didn’t manage to snap many photos.

Our private driver picked us up at our hotel early in the morning and the journey was a quite a long one. Took about 1 to 1.5 hours! Torturous if you travel with young children! Hahaha.

I had given our driver the address of the place we wanted to have our breakfast at, and he led us the way by cutting through the market. It doesn’t look that bad in the photo but when there were 4 to 5 people trying to pass through at the same time, it was really squeezy and chaotic. Because of that, my in laws decided to sit this out after breakfast and offered to hold onto the kids while we explored on our own.

We settled our breakfast at Gong Meng Chan Ba Mee Kiao where they offer what seems to be like our Singapore char siew wanton noodles. This place has been around for about 60 years and is filled with locals. Address is 638 Diamond Road, Samut Songkhram (Intersection of Phet Samut and Kasem Sukhum Alley).

There is a choice of dry or soup Ba Mee Kiao. If you eat it just on its own, it’s probably gonna taste a little bland to you. There are condiments placed on each table which you can add to enhance the taste of your noodles. I was recovering from a bad throat so I only added some fish sauce but just a little did the trick!

So it was just misterchewy and I who hurried off to take some photos while waiting for the train to pass through.

As you can see, there were many tourists waiting around for the train.

Before the train arrived, all the stall owners retracted their umbrellas and some had to shift in their goods. Nobody was allowed to stand in the middle of the tracks for obvious reasons.

The train was moving really slowly and everyone snapped away with their mobile phones and cameras.

All of us held our breaths because the train was THIS close. I could even touch the train without having to fully extend my arm!

Here’s a video to prove it! It is such an eye opening experience that I urge everyone who is visiting Bangkok to take a day trip to Maeklong Railway Market! 🙂

Ok my next plan was to head over to Amphawa Floating Market since it is super near Maeklong Railway Market but my MIL wasn’t keen because the kids were starting to get cranky. I’m totally fine with it even though I painstakingly planned the entire itinerary, plus we had already travelled all the way from Bangkok city. Perhaps next time! Just me and misterchewy? LOL.

Mandarin Oriental Bangkok Afternoon Tea Review

Posted on February 27, 2018 by missuschewy

To some Singaporeans, Bangkok is all about shopping, shopping and more shopping. Foodies like us value eating more than anything else. On the third day of our Bangkok trip, The Chewys had the luxury of sleeping in and subsequently took a Grab car to Mandarin Oriental Bangkok. We were staying at The Westin Grande Sukhumvit and the journey from our hotel took about 20 minutes due to a slight midday traffic jam.

Thankfully, the girls were pretty well-behaved along our way there and upon reaching Mandarin Oriental, we were captivated by the beautiful and luxurious hotel interior.

Overlooking the Chao Phraya river, the Authors’ Lounge at Mandarin Oriental is one of Bangkok’s most photographed locations. It was originally an open roofed garden with a tortoise pond and since 1976, the Authors’ Lounge features a glass roof and is the place to enjoy afternoon tea. Over the last three centuries, many famous writers have stayed at the hotel and their photographs are showcased in the newly restored Authors’ Lounge. The ‘Heritage Authors’ Noël Coward, James Michener, Somerset Maugham and Joseph Conrad are now immortalised in four new private lounges.

I am always cautious and want to avoid any disappointment when it comes to holiday planning, so I reserved a table for the four of us a couple of weeks before our trip. I booked the earliest slot for afternoon tea at 12pm and perhaps it was a weekday, we got to choose where we wanted to sit. What I didn’t like was that Mini misschewy started to whine because it was close to her nap time and one of the staff forewarned us that if Cayla continued to make noise, we would have to be moved to a table at a corner as it would disturb other (non-existent) guests. I mean young children are bound to laugh, cry or talk loudly. She could have ushered us to a corner table in the first place. It resulted in us jumping up every time one of the girls let out any form of sound exceeding 60 to 75 decibels and we had to constantly shush them. LOLOLOL.

Moving on..! The Author’s Lounge offers three types of afternoon tea sets. If you are a vegetarian, there’s something for you! Apart from that, there is a choice of Western Afternoon Tea Set and The Oriental Afternoon Tea Set. If you are dining alone, I would definitely recommend that you go for the Oriental set where the items are traditionally Thai. Dining with friends? Then you should have the best of both worlds! Each set costs ฿1450++ per person and is inclusive of free flow tea of coffee.

My choice of tea: Pink Garden Tea – Regal garden roses accent this green tea blended with notes of Provencal red fruits. A blooming bouquet as blissful as a summer day.

His choice of tea (without even having to look at the menu): Moroccan Mint Tea – A great favourite, this fine TWG Tea green tea is perfectly blended with suave and strong Sahara mint. A timeless classic.

We didn’t have to wait long for both the afternoon tea sets to be served. Yaaay! And look! So Instagram-worthy!

Little Tai Tais in training 😛

I love the use of ceramic tiered tiffin to present the oriental set! Traditional with a touch of class.

We really enjoyed The Oriental Afternoon Tea Set. Most of our favorites were the savory food items such as:

– Lime-marinated crabmeat sandwich with lemongrass and chilli
– Minced chicken, chilli and black olive sandwich
– Roasted pandan chicken
– Steamed Thai dumplings

From the selection of pastries, these were pretty unforgettable:

– Kanom Sai Sai, sweet coconut pudding wrapped in banana leaf
– Steamed pumpkin custard
– Mango tartlet with vanilla cream
– Candy bale fruit chiffon cake

We were impressed by the Oriental set but that doesn’t mean we paid any less attention to the Western Afternoon Tea Set.

Here are some of the finger sandwiches that we reckon are worthy of mention:

– Green asparagus dips in clear tomato aspic on white sour dough bread
– Smoked ham, sun dried tomato and honeydew melon
– Open-faced smoked salmon, sour cream and beetroot sandwich
– Cucumber, dill and cream cheese on oat bread

Apart from the chocolate desserts, these were quite nice and refreshing:

– Minted light cream and strawberry sphere
– Vanilla yoghurt cream, streusel and pineapple chutney

If you only have time to indulge in one afternoon tea session in Bangkok, make the Authors’ Lounge at Mandarin Oriental your choice! Hope you guys have enjoyed our Mandarin Oriental Bangkok afternoon tea review! Stay connected with us on Facebook and on Instagram 🙂

Burger and Lobster Bangkok Review

Posted on February 23, 2018 by missuschewy

Gonna kick-start our series of Bangkok travel posts with our experience at Burger and Lobster! It got quite a number of my friends and followers excited when I posted IG stories while dining there during our CNY trip. Likewise for me, I only knew about Burger and Lobster Bangkok when I chanced upon a photo that my friend had uploaded to her Instagram account and I had to text her to double confirm that there IS a Burger and Lobster in the Land of Smiles. LOL!

So yup, according to a few online sources, Burger and Lobster was supposed to open in March 2017 but there were some delays and it finally opened its doors in September, a good five months later. I guess it is always a wise decision to wait till you are ready! Located at Gaysorn Plaza, just across Erawan Shrine, the nearest BTS station would be Chit Lom. From Chit Lom BTS station, it is just a short two-minute walk to Gaysorn Plaza.

The food menu is conveniently categorised into Starters, Burgers, Lobsters, Rolls, Sides and Sauces. Nobody in our group opted for burger as a main.

Naturally, the camera gets to eat first.

A group shot before our lobster feast. Oh yes, since we were a large group, I made reservations via email and was allocated this huge round table. My MIL likes it because in a way, it symbolises 团圆.

I chose Over The Moon (฿390) because this combination of Beefeater Gin, strawberry, Pimms, rose, cucumber, lemon, fizz sounds delish and I was right!

Not sure who ordered the Truffle Fries (฿290) but it was a bad decision because all our mains came with a large serving of fries! LOL. Major fries overload! I didn’t touch any of it but I think anything with truffle should be good.

The Lobster Mac N Cheese (฿350) was really comfort food with chunks of lobster meat and macaroni generously coated with melted cheese.

The Lobster Croquettes (฿350) were also a hit among all of us. Be sure to eat it with the spicy dip sauce that comes with it!

Besides the Original Roll (฿1500), there are Avocado Roll (฿950) and Chilli Roll (฿950) too. If it’s your first time dining at Burger and Lobster, I would definitely recommend trying the Original Roll for it is a true Burger and Lobster classic of chilled lobster meat dressed in a smooth lemony Japanese mayo.

If you think you might be missing out on a lot since it’s chunks of lobster meat as compared to a whole lobster, fret not. The toasted brioche roll is actually filled with generous chunks of meat to make this a truly satisfying meal.

If you can’t do without chilli, Burger and Lobster offers Chilli Lobster (฿1850) on their menu. The lobster is first steamed and then served in a hot clay pot smothered with an aromatic chilli sauce that has been prepared in-house. You have a choice of rice or warm toasted brioche to go with your chilli lobster.

The most expensive item on the menu, the B&L Thermidor (฿2100) is served as a whole lobster cooked in herbed velouté and mushroom sauce, topped with a cheesy crust. If you like strong-tasting foods, you will definitely enjoy this feast.

The three ladies ordered the Original Lobster (฿1500), with a choice of steamed or grilled lobster. We went for the steamed lobsters as we felt that it was the best way to taste the freshness of the lobster and indulge in its succulent meat. I really liked the B&L’s famous lemon and garlic butter sauce which was addictive!

Oh man, I’m missing this already.

For your next trip to Bangkok, make sure you stop by Burger and Lobster for a treat!

Hong Kong Photoshoot with Shoot My Travel

Posted on February 21, 2018 by missuschewy

During our Hong Kong trip late last year, we dedicated some time to a casual family photoshoot in Central area. We wanted a little tour around the area as well, and what better way than to engage a freelance photographer via Shoot My Travel? It’s the perfect way to experience the city through the lens of a local photographer! Shoot My Travel photographers are available in over 250 destinations so you can always easily engage one wherever you go. Wylie was our photographer and we communicated via emails and subsequently whatsapp prior our trip.

It is very important to discuss your preferences and expectations with your photographer so that you can have a smooth photoshoot on the day itself. Based on previous experiences, a shoot in the morning is better for us because the kids are chirpy and smiley, before their nap time that is. After deciding on the date and time of the shoot, we moved on to settle the location of the shoot. I told Wylie that I wanted to avoid modern architecture as I preferred Hong Kong’s colonial charm. She provided some really good suggestions and Central appealed the most to me.

I totally forgot about planning our outfits for the shoot and was about to haphazardly throw in some clothes into our luggage when Wylie texted to ask if we will be in matching attires. It was difficult to pick out something coordinated which we have not worn before in previous shoots but I finally managed to go for a neutral-colored theme, with the girls watching matching dresses. I think we look pretty ok in the photos!

Wylie went the extra mile and got her assistant to help us with our bags and stroller so it really lightened our load during the shoot. They arrived early and we got to commence the photoshoot right away. This is very crucial especially when you have young children! Every second counts! LOL.

The shoot was a relaxing one and we got to explore the area which we couldn’t have done so without Wylie showing us around. It was a pity we could only one hour because the kids usually get restless very quickly! I would definitely recommend going for at least a two-hour shoot if you can afford the time. Shoot My Travel has various packages that can cater to your needs.

Rates start from USD$234 and gift cards are also available to surprise your friends or loved ones! For more information or to book a photographer, visit https://www.shootmytravel.com/

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong

Posted on February 9, 2018 by missuschewy

Heyyy chewy friends! How’s it going? Hahaha I’m back again to continue blogging about our Hong Kong trip which took place in November last year! OMG blog so long still haven blog finish! LOL. I know it’s funny that we have not been to Madame Tussauds in Singapore and yet, made it a must-visit in Hong Kong. Psst.. You will find out why really soon 😛

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is located at The Peak and there are a few ways to get there. We took the Peak Tram and the queue was excruciatingly long under the hot sun. While we were queuing, I almost wanted to give up and kept thinking if it was a bad idea to make this part of our itinerary. But once you get there, you will come to realise that it is all worth it. LOL. I’m not so much into Taiwanese or Hong Kong artistes actually. This is Ethan Ruan if you duno. Haha.

Of course must take photo with Andy Lau. Do you know that you can feel his “heartbeat”?

Wahahaha Albert Einstein. Sorry I barely made it for Physics.

Donnie Yen is the man! I enjoyed all his Ip Man movies tremendously!

Yup I’m training under him lol.

AND OMG OMG OMG. THIS IS THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR.

SARANG HAEYO OPPA!

Ok seriously I was very happy that the Korean section was relatively empty. I was expecting a long queue for Lee Jong Suk oppa. But none cuz it’s a weekday I suppose lol but very happy la! I HOGGED HIM OKAY.

I really took many photos with him and these are some of my favorites.

HAPPY UNTIL OMG CANNOT SLEEP. Now you know why I had to visit Madame Tussauds! 😛

IDK wassup with Little misschewy’s constipated face. Haha!

Park Hae Jin oppa also not bad la!

The Korean section really my favorite!

Jay Chou doesn’t look exactly like Jay Chou. I feel that his eyes are a lot smaller here 🙁

The hubs and I really like G.E.M Tang’s songs! She’s such a pretty, young and talented artiste.

Hahaha so difficult to get these two to pose properly.

Upon exiting the museum, you will see a small shop selling all kinds of souvenir.

Visiting Madame Tussauds in Hong Kong is definitely one of my best decisions ever! 😀

99 Percent Hair Studio at Bedok Point

Posted on February 6, 2018 by missuschewy

Ready for CNY thanks to @dansonchea, @kelly.lok and the team at @99percenthairstudio! Major love for my purple hair with pink streaks 💜💕More on my IG stories in the meantime!

A post shared by Charlene Chew 🇸🇬 (@missuschewy) on Jan 28, 2018 at 5:18am PST

Hello everyone! If you have been following me on IG or FB, you would know that I recently got a hair transformation at 99 Percent Hair Studio at Bedok Point! For the first time,, I received sooo many compliments about my hair, so I decided to share more about it on my blog today!

My good friend Mag from Modgam swears by 99 Percent Hair Studio to give her the craziest and most creative hair colors to suit her artistic image and introduced me to this studio. Previously located at Katong, the team moved to Bedok Point not too long ago. Upon stepping in, I like the clean and cosy environment which gives a sense of warmth. Most importantly, there is FREE WiFi! Fret not if you are going to spend long hours in the salon because you can keep yourself entertained by watching dramas etc.

One last look before I bid my old hair color goodbye! I didn’t know that the colors have faded so much until one of my colleagues told me that she had thought I was an angmoh when she was standing behind me. LOL!

These are some of the products that were used on my hair. 99 Percent Hair Studio believes in providing the best for their customers and that includes selecting premium products that will protect one’s hair.

Here’s my stylist, Kelly, helping to first touch up my hair colors, especially the roots.

After a nice and relaxing hair wash, Kelly helped to trim my hair as there were dry and split ends. At the same time, I was pampered with a manicure!

We decided on purple with some pink highlights so here we go! Wheeeee!

Was asked to choose a nail color but there were so many colors to choose from! I finally settled for something simple!

I think it is a great idea to have your nails manicured at the same time as it is definitely killing two birds with one stone! Saves so much time!

Alternatively, there is a dedicated area just for manicure and pedicure.

YES! Chinese New Year is coming! If your nails are still looking bare, you know where to go to for the cutest CNY themed nail art!

Yay to freshly manicured nails! It’s been so long since I last did my nails cuz no time. But now, no more excuse! Can do hair and nails at the same time!

See what I mean? My hair colors are all up!

Look at that generous amount of hair mask!

Applying of hair masks helps to lock in the colors, deep conditions hair, keeps hair smooth and reduces frizz.

TADAH!! The final result! SO SO SO HAPPY WITH MY NEW HAIR!!

Here’s the good news! There is NO CNY surcharge! If you don’t have plans yet, wait no more! Also, spend just $19 for one year’s membership and you will be entitled to:
