Food Tasting @ Overtime
It’s OVERTIME again! But no fret, nothing stressful!
A few weeks ago, the bloggers gathered for a food tasting session @ Overtime Dempsey. My previous visit to Overtime was for its grand opening and oh boy was it filled with good beer and roasted crunchy pork! What an indulgence~ Overtime offers both finger foods and a wide selection for a proper meals.
A separate menu for the skewer items.
With more than 10 of us there, I guess we ordered almost everything on the menu!
The HITS:
Calamari Scampi $14
Daen strongly recommended this salad and we ended up having 4 plates of it!! LOL. I must say calamari was pretty well done, very fresh – I hate the soft mushy kind. The taste is a mix of sweet, sour and spicy, Thai-style. A great starter and its whets the appetite!
Mutton Satay (10pcs)
Stir Fried Louh Syu Fan (Mee Tai Mud) $10
I was surprised to see this in the menu and ordered it right away. And it didn’t disappoint me. The fragrance was overwhelming when served. You can imagine it as Char Teow Kway but uses Louh Syu Fan instead. They are also very generous with the portion of seafood in it.
Food Platter A $23
Here’s my favourite Crunchy Pork, along with Crispy Mushrooms and Crispy Fish Fillets. The crunchy pork is one of the best roasted meat I ever had! While the skin is crunchy and crisp, the meat remains juicy and succulent. The proportion of fats to lean meat is about 40:60? Occasional indulgence is perfectly fine. Alternatively, you can simply just savor the lean meat.
Not forgetting the Starker Beer! Aromatic is my favourite~
Cheers everyone! (:
Yong Wei entertaining everyone! haha..
The MISSES:
Jumbo Pork Sausages $7
We had expectations of it being similar or bigger than German sausages but it came with a tad disappointment and the taste was nothing unusual.
This is probably only 1/4 what we had for the night!
The boys? dudes? men? haha..
the lovelies! bien sur! (:

I was planning to migrate over to Tumblr, but I’m having some problems with the coding! Plus, Tumblr doesn’t allow importing of entries.
I tried installing the “tumblr” plugin on wordpress too – it didn’t work out well. Guess I will stick to this platform for now.
Anyway, I have updated the backlogs (more to come). So scroll down for updates!

February have been an extremely crazy month and I’m planning to do a revamp of this space, soon.
So, spare me some patience and new stuffs will be coming up soon! (:

moisture the dry
Feeling unhappy about chapped lips?
This is definitely an issue that has been bothering me for the longest time ever. Even before my acne woes kicked in.
In times like this, lip balms definitely come in handy!
I’m a great fan of Ettusais Lip Essence ever since I started using them at the start of this year.
And guess what!? Ettusais has launched a limited edition lippie care product for this winter! –
Lip Essence (DEEP MOIST)
I know, I know, there’s no winter in Singapore. But that doesn’t mean we don’t get chapped lips.
Like for me, my lips are constantly dry. And I found out that it is caused by the absence of moisture from the lips.
I am already ‘wow-ed’ by the Lip Essence and Lip Essence Stick especially. But this Lip Essence (Deep Moist) is wow wow WOW~
It gives the lips an instant makeover with the hyaluronic acid that pumps up vertical lines. It’s also extra moisturizing with the honey added!
The texture is slightly thicker than the normal lip essence but doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. And I just love how fast it moisturizes my lips! Within 1-2 minutes after application, I can feel my dry chapped lips becoming soft and supple. =)
Lip Essence (Deep Moist) is a limited edition product and retails at $31.

Back with a Splash!
Remember the Aqua Splash OB that I have introduced a few months back?
I have another Aqua Splash to share with you girls today! And it is the limited edition Aqua Splash M introduced by Ettusais in October~
heh. It’s in our all-time favorite pink-colored bottle!
What is the difference between the 2 bottles? Both are makeup touchup products!
OB is for oily-skin while M is for dry-skin.
The Aqua Splash M is a moisturizing essence in spray bottle and it contains Trehalose – a natural moisturizing ingredient that helps our skin to retain moisture.
It is made with mineral ingredients and 100% refined water. Absolutely blemish-skin friendly.
Besides having a good makeup touch-up product, a good base is also does the trick for long-lasting makeup.
I love the Base Version Up UV from Ettusais!
Besides the skin-loving formulation that contains AC control oil and equipped with SPF 20 PA+, it has flash powder that gives the skin a radiant glow!
The finishing is smooth and it conceals visible pores and covers your freckles and blemish scars.
Base Version Up UV retails at $41 and the limited edition Aqua Slpash M is out in stores now at $29.
Check out www.ettusais.sg or visit the counters to explore long-lasting makeup tricks!

YIFON – Goodness in a bottle
This month is filled with lots of ♥ ♥ ♥!
♥ Lanvin H&M, ♥ Piano Black, ♥ YIFON.
Yours truly is mushroom fanatic. I’m always ordering mushroom dishes whenever possible and my mom loves to use mushrooms in her dishes as well. Also, I practically live on mushrooms when I was in Shanghai. There is bound to be a pack of mushrooms in my shopping cart whenever I head to the supermarket. It’s in my soups, stir-fry dishes and even spaghetti!
Some time ago, I learnt about the new range of bottled mushrooms by YIFON and I was so excited to recieve a whole bag of bottled mushrooms with compliments from YIFON and Vibes Comm!
From left to right: Assorted Mushrooms (Po-ku, Golden and Button Mushrooms), Spicy Nameko Mushrooms, Teatree Mushrooms, Spicy Bailing Mushrooms, Bailing Mushrooms and Spicy Gold Mushrooms.
Look at that! Nicely packed in a bottled glass~
YIFON bottled mushrooms contain no preservatives, no artificial colorings and no trans-fats. (woohoo~) It is also halal-certified!
And the best of all? It’s C-O-N-V-E-N-I-E-N-T! 
You can consume it directly from the bottle! Which means you could snack on mushrooms rather than junk food! This is just perfect for busy individuals and the lazy ones too. heheheh.
My favourite ones are the Spicy Golden Mushroom,
and the Assorted Mushrooms.
The Spicy Golden Mushrooms go extremely well with the Korean Spicy Ramen and the chili oil can also spice up other dishes. While the Assorted Mushrooms simply adds on more variety to my meals.
Breakfast – Lunch – Dinner
yum yum~ Even my mom was surprised at the rich taste and good quality of YIFON bottled mushrooms! And she is using the empty glass bottles as seasoning containers. haha.
YIFON bottled mushrooms are available at all major supermarkets for only $1.95 per bottle! What else more can I say? Go try it yourself.
