4 Fingers Crispy Chicken

January 11, 2013UncategorizedLeave a Comment

Eating in 4 Fingers Chicken is another sissy Cha\’s \”Happiest day of my Life\” moment. Well, I can\’t blame her this Korean-recipe is delicious! I also adore the chicken size and servings. Another discovery via my ina-idol blogger Chuvaness.

Level-up with their queue chips.

The most accessible store that they have is at ION Orchard. I think their recipe has something to do with glaze that they apply after frying the chicken. They look mabenta. They\’ve expanded their ION branch and there are more available seats.

Cool light installations

Chicken wrap-ish/sandwich-y type….nah try it and check out their menu it\’s delicious. Then stalk them afterwards

4 fingers is a whole lot different from Bonchon Chicken. That I have yet to try…

Zatchels VS. Cambridge Satchel Company et. al.

Old school = Cool School

I first saw the old school Satchels (The Cambridge Satchel Company) from my fave blogger Ms. Chuvaness. I love its neat and preppy finish. But the feature that I hate is the closure. You really have to painstakingly open and close the belt-like snaps. Aargghh FUSSY! It\’s a NO for me due to the price range and bag closures. It was only available by shipping from UK so it was easy to let go.

Then I come to SG and encountered these beauties again. At Tang\’s Vivo City, they have the Zatchels. The look and feel are very much the same with CSC but they have more variety (speaking in terms of design and structure). A little cheaper than CSC. The sales person is Pinoy, muntik na akong bumili, maganda ang sales talk niya lalo na kapag nakakapag-Tagalog hehehe. If it wasn\’t for those fussy closures I could have bought one right away.

The other time I visited the newly renovated Tang\’s Orchard. On the 3rd or 4th floor (I think) they have the iconic CSC. For me it has a cleaner and more polished finish. If not for those fussy closure, I could have got ten one too…aarrghh!

The Cambridge Satchel Company

I\’ve tried looking for alternatives (aka cheaper versions) or so I thought. Like the Comme de Garcon X Cambridge Satchel Company collab. I even went to the Hilton CDG at Orchard road, but was already sold-out. It costs SGD 450. It has magnetic snap closure and it serves as a shoulder bag.

For Filipino made Satchels, we have the School of Satchels who are finalists at the Multiply Origination Awards for Best Fashion Forward Idea. They utilize leather from our country and craftmanship is not bad. I have an acquiantance who purchased from them, she loves it. The reviews are good so it\’s worth a try.

Then I saw the Kate Spade Satchels. It comes in with magnetic snaps and its Mahalia Jackson than the rest (SGD 600++).

The Verdict: Not my priority for now. Maybe next time. Mahalia Jackson talaga!

Cupcakes to go…

One of the concept of this Italian group of eateries is gourmet-quality take-out boutique ideally suited for those with great taste but to little time.

I\’m a fan of their desserts, cheesecakes are not that sweet same goes with their cupcakes. I have yet to try their pasta and pizzas. Price range is reasonable, especially when the one prepping the meals is the chef. (It maybe a deli cafe but they take gourmet food seriously).

Everton Bubble Tea Point

January 8, 2013UncategorizedLeave a Comment

Bubble tea stores are present everywhere in SG. It\’s a national craze that could turn into a pop culture and will be in circulation for sometime. There\’s different kind of brands (Koi being the most famous one, check out the queue!), strategic locations and gimmicks. But there is bubble tea that is very accessible to me and that is EBTP (Everton Bubble Tea Point)! I just need to go downstairs. Yey! Lucky me. It\’s cheaper than the others.
