[FOOD TASTING] CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR THE PERANAKAN WAY WITH INDOCAFE THE WHITE HOUSE

There's several times where by I passed by the 'INDOCAFE' and I always thought that its a cafe because of its name and I am sure many of you have the same thought as me right? However INDOCAFE is actually a restaurant that serves authentic Peranakan cuisine.

I personally went down to INDOCAFE to try out their Lunar New Year 'LUCK' set meal which caters 5-6 pax and I am going to share with you my review on the dishes below. Besides 'LUCK' set meal, there's also other CNY set meal which includes different dishes to cater to your needs. For more information of their Chinese New Year Menu, you may check out:

There's also some cute decoration of CNY near the entrance of INDOCAFE.

Having Yu Sheng during Chinese New Year is a common thing however INDOCAFE offers a unique Yu Sheng with Peranakan Curry Sauce! This is the first time I ever had Yu Sheng with Nyonya Curry Sauce, surprisingly it taste really well as the curry blends well with the sweet plum sauce and I would highly recommend you to try it if you haven taste it before!

'LUCK' Set Meal

Fish Maw Soup With Prawn Ball Pig Tripe & Fatt Choy

Surprisingly, the Fish Maw soup has no fishy taste and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.

Deep-fried Red Snapper With Assam Gulai Sauce

Fresh red snapper goes well with the sweet and sour sauce.

Roasted Chicken With Chef's Signature Sauce

The roasted chicken is a little dry however it blends well with their chili which is spicy and appetizing.

Nyonya Steamed Cabbage With Mixed Mushroom & Pork Skin

The steamed cabbage comes in huge pieces and they are surprisingly soft and together in harmony with the sweet carrot and juicy mushroom.


Fried Hong Kong Noodles With Leek, Carrot & Seafood

This is one of the best Fried Hong Kong Noodle I have ever tasted, the smooth and soft noodle soaked up the delicious sauce and bursting with flavor.



Burbur Cha Cha With Glutinous Ball

This is a special Burbur Cha Cha because of its unique ingredients, normally we will only find yam and sweet potato inside a Burbur Cha Cha however this Burbur Cha Cha contains banana and Glutinous Ball. This is a warm soup based and the Glutinous Ball contains peanuts which is a comfortable and hearty dessert to end off the meal with.

GAMISS - CHEAP SHOPPING PALACE FOR WOMEN, MEN & KIDS

Happy New Year 2018! Have you done your CNY Shopping Spree?

Recently discovered a really cheap shopping palace - GAMISS which sells a great variety of items for Women, Men and Kids! I was really surprised by how cheap their items are and they also do wholesale supply which is a great choice for those who are seeking for fashion suppliers.

Here's the link to GAMISS Website:
https://www.gamiss.com/?lkid=76714 

GAMISS sent me some items to do a review on them, at first I didn't have much expectations for the quality of the items as they are really cheap however GAMISS did not disappoint me! The items I received are of good quality, as good as those you see in the retail shop! Let me share with you the items that I have picked and why I love them:

First item will be the Cold Shoulder Striped Top in Purplish Blue 

Cold Shoulder Striped Top - Purplish Blue 

I have picked the Cold Shoulder Striped Top in Purplish Blue, the material is actually polyester and I feel really comfortable wearing it, you can create a casual look by matching it with a shorts which is a perfect outfit for the weather in Singapore. For more information of this product, you can check out the link below:

The next item will be Embossing PU Leather Handbag in Black Color, I would recommend this bag for office ladies as the size of the bag is consider big and able to fit a lot of stuffs! The bag can be used as a handbag as well as a shoulder bag as they provide you a detachable black shoulder strap.

Embossing PU Leather Handbag - Black

Zip Compartment Inside the bag



I can feel that the quality of the bag is really good according to the PU Leather, there's a zip compartment and two mini open compartment inside the bag and one open compartment in the front of the bag. The size of the bag is around (L x W X H) 30cm x 17cm x 29cm, big enough to fit an ipad. Out of the 3 items I received, this is my favorite item because I simply love the design of the bag which makes me look stylish and of course the PU leather! For more information of this product, you can check out the link below:

Last item will be Hasp 2 Pieces Crossbody Bag Set in Black





detachable gold chain



Hasp 2 Pieces Crossbody Bag Set - Black

This bag can be used as a handbag as well as a shoulder bag as they provide you a detachable gold chain. There's no zip/inner compartment inside the bag however there's a mini coin pouch included for you to keep your coins. The bag size is around (L x W X H) 21cm x 7cm x 16cm. In my opinion, the material of the bag is not really good as compared to the one above (Embossing PU Leather Handbag - Black) and the material of this bag is NOT scratch proof which means you can easily leave a scratch mark on the bag, besides that, the bag is also pretty small and suitable for those who don't bring much things out. However the price of this bag is really low as compared to the previous bag so I shouldn't complain so much because what we pay is what we get. For more information of this product, you can check out this link below:
