Do you like vintage looking watches? Dainty Little things carry a good range on their online shop. I found some really interesting pieces at their booth at the MEGA FLEA 12 and couldn't help but regard now for not being from them at the bazaar!
Love these specially hand picked designs that kinda represented time piece fashion at least 30 years bag. These are some of the wrist watches my aunts rock during their teenage years.
Thin with small faces casio watches in leather stripes and we even spotted some automatic westar watches that looked like what my grand daddy would wear when he was a suave young man. Price were very reasonable and the watches were all authentic that comes with warranty. Service is friendly and well i sincerely hope they can carry more varieties. Love the price, love the designs and love the vintage feel that I had when i test wear one of their watches. Great stuffs :)

If you like exotic items in your living area or unique handmade accessories, otherwise eco-friendly stationary to jot down bits of life then you must get something from the TREASURES OF NEPAL .
Like the name suggest, they carry a good range of treasures from nepal and mostly eco friendly and environmentally loving. Keepa, a Nepalese and owner of this business hand picked all of these beautiful items, mostly from the hands of the maker themselves. Yes handmade they mostly are and materials used were Yak Bones from their daily meat domestic meals for beautiful and carved and polished accessories in various colours and design.
Note books and other paper products like lamp shades with intriguing designs were made mostly of the pulp of an ever growing shrub that is abundant in the high mountain and other lovely treasures such as crafted wooden boxes that contained some special holistic incense that is sure to calm every nerve and make you feel relaxed.
We were intrigued by her selections and her items were definitely unique, most of all for a good cause to support the villages back at this laid back country. So we contribute to eco friendly earthly measures, the villages back in Nepal and to our rustic fashion sense. Its a win win win... Guess I can pick a few more items to stock up for birthdays :)
AWESOME!!!

Its a good deal at $1.60 per plate. Yes you heard me right and yes I had quite a bad experience especially at the Cathay outlet yet this outlet at Yew Tee Point made my finger cramped up with the THUMBS UP!
The salmon sashimi was generous in slices. Usually 3 slices but were pretty thick and juicy. The california maki rolls were stuffed with yummy fillings, seaweed crispy and ingredients used fresh. Service was good and homely and we the moment we sat down we couldn't help but whacked a few plates of these superb sashimi.
If you love lobster salad like I do, then you will fall in love with their lobster salad gunkan. The belt moved pretty fast and was filled with plates after plates of well portioned makis, gunkan and sashimi. Even the pickled ginger was super yummy. It was an extremely good experience with plenty of choices.
The portion was really good and worth the money on top of that, you get to select from the IPAD mini other stuffs that is not on the belt. The seats were clean and service was prompt and friendly. Seats were in the form of booths and we were served into a 4 seater booth during lunch hours when there was only 2 of us. It was an excellent experience and we are sure to go back. Everything was good and the food was just too fantabulous *SLURP!* SUPER DUPER affordable..
you made mine day!!!

A little shop with many surprises. Hand picked and curated by the owner of the shop herself, I was pretty amazed by the items i found from her little collection.
The thing that caught my eye was the 'FROZEN' themed hair clips. Unlike the usual I've seen, the prints were less complicated in pretty baby colours. Toddlers clothes were so cute, i wish i had a baby of age to be dressed in. Service was good and with much jolly laughters. Love the apparels and accessories that goes with them.
Exquisite collection in great materials and beautiful clean looking designs. Love the simplicity, love the passion and love the great smiles.

I can't help it, I was shocked and disappointed. Why wasn't it like before?
Parklane Zha Yun Tun mee house is one time so famous for its deep fried Meat dumplings that we had to queue for hours to get a seat during lunch time. I thought it was still so however the queue had thinned down pretty much.
So while we wonder in and grabbed ourselves a lavish 4 seater, we secretly giggled at our good luck and not being chided by the staff. The items on the menu were plentiful and we ordered chicken feat noodles and my favourite porkchop rice.
Amidst the staff shouting orders in authentic china mandarin at one another and shuffling around, its obvious the number of staffs is just crowding up the small shop yet space was so precious that we almost had to seat down back to back.
Our food arrived in a short while and the zha yun tun did not taste as surprisingly nice as always did. This time round, too floury, oily and burnt with little filling. I was pretty disappointed. The chicken leg noodle arrived with the noodles pretty acceptingly well-done and braised chicken leg cooked but not soft. My pork chop rice was a downer... its just a super thin slice of pale pork, overcooked hard on plenty of white rice with a little braised sauce. I was devastated, blaming myself for the obvious wrong choice of cafe and wrong choice of food.
While i cursed away, i still tried to finish up my food as this is not exactly cheap to just walk away. So the meal ended with me being too emo! Perhaps i just did not choose the yummy stuffs and I find it too EX!!!

If you are looking for excellent, made with non synthetic ingredients that is gentle to your skin, than these passionately handcrafted skincare are just what you need to fight the polluted air of city living.
We were surprised to find such excellently created merchandises on sale at the Mega Flea 11 and was even more thrilled to hear the story of how the idea of whipping up a wholesome and nourishing range of skin protecting creams and lotions came about. It is the desire of one who seemed to have never-ending sensitivity problems with off the rack skin care products that turned frustration into creativity energy and the determination to bring to her friends ultimately good, natural and organic skin nourishing products.
Our favourite, would have to be the scrubs which we didn't manage to try as it might get a little too messy, however the ingredients were fabulous. Natural sugar with grapeseed oil and we even spotted elderberry extracts. Elderberry extracts are one of the rare and expensive ingredients used in skin care products yet its extremely good towards inflammation and we loved the fact that we found it in the scrub that would mean it could go deep underneath those inflamed scabs and treat wounds naturally.
The texture for the body butter is silky smooth with a good dose of shea butter with no water added. Nourishing yet not sticky and slithered on with a light fragrance. We also enjoyed the body lotions and the hand cremes, they are not highly perfumed yet the natural smell of the oils used were pretty pleasant and humbling.
They were priced extremely economically as compared to products on par and had a shelf life of 1 year which is pretty good for a non-synthetic product. We loved the packaging and the passion involved in creation. Lovely range and we hope to see more.
Such products are hardly found anywhere unless you make it yourself.

The Mega Flea series of tradeshow bazaars seemed always to surprise me. It amazes me because what seemed like a repeat of a similar event could have such interesting vendors all the time and merchandises so varied that I was excited because i found some really interesting stuffs.
Location, Environment & Atmosphere
Well, the atmosphere was one that is laced with excitement, while coming up from the escalators, you could already spot signs leading you to the flea and as you approach the entrance, be greeted by some partners with booths and contest. Be a winner before you actually enter the flea hall. Globby's instagram contest was one that was fun while you could take a pic with the cute props with the Mapwerkz team at the Gumtree background while enjoying a yummy cup of ice cream with compliments from Gumtree.
The hall was well air-circulated and tables neatly arranged in columns with ample spaces at each lane for shoppers to crowd and move around. The entire atmosphere was filled with excitement, while you could hear one vendor explaining their merchandises and another customer asking for a discount. Haggling and laughters was pretty ample here and vendors were relaxed even when the crowd builds to a traffic jam around some booths.
Merchandises and Vendors
I was really surprised to meet a few really interesting booths and as I do not want the review to sound like my grandfather's bedtime story, I would keep my lengthy descriptions to the #TMFM11 Post event article..
I found these exceptionally good handmade skincare products (Passionately Handcrafted) which is made of extremely good ingredients such as a concoction of natural oils (eg. grapeseed) and for the scrub i found elderberry extract which is a pretty rare ingredient to be used and somewhat an expensive one. Another booth across the hall promoted to me handmade soap from Ipoh with a history of more than 3 generations (Sabunim) that are made with pure coconut oil and can laterally rejuvenate your skin. The power of pure coconut oil is simply amazing and friendly to sensitive skin.
(The dorsal effect) is another interesting booth. Passionate with a clear and concise goal in mind, the team offers eco-tours to the island Lombok, off Bali, Indonesia, offering business to laid back fishermans so that they do not need to kill endangered sharks just to make ends meet.
(ISported) a newly designed app also made their debut at this flea, offering free downloads with wristbands for your favourite world cup teams. The app is intelligent enough to tell you where you can go nearby, be it a pub or McDonalds to watch football leagues without causing a fight at home.
Preloved Stores
Fashion has always been a big hit for fleas but this time round I spotted more preloved booths with eager and friendly, trendily dressed ladies selling their preloved fashionable stuffs. Love their vibe and the easy going attitudes. What more, i found not only clothes and beautiful dresses and accessories, books and household items were also selling off fast. One such booth is made up of intelligent team of Malay family when their items were lovely and well organised, they even brought along a mic and speaker to boost their presence. Love the teamwork and the fun element they brought to the flea.
It was extremely enjoyable and out of so many fleas, this one got me into the buying mood and most items that I got were such good bargain, i was practically holding on to me cheesy grin the whole time i was shopping. Featuring many trendy and useful stuffs.. this is one of those memorable fleas for me and of course more stuffs to give away to make way for even more beautiful stuffs... LOVED THE EXPERIENCE and WILL COME BACK FOR MORE!

If you enjoy korean style fried chicken you should really pop by Kko Kko Nara at Tanjong Pagar. Walking distance from the MRT and the main road, this outlet is usually packed with diners during dinner hours, so please remember to make your reservations.
We were there on a weekday evening, good thing our friends arrived earlier and chopped us some seats. When i arrived which is slightly before 7pm, there was already a queue outside and well parking is pretty ample by the 2 sides of the road, so if you drive its pretty convenient.
This long restaurant has got pretty nice booth seats for a group size of about 4-6. Well cushioned and ventilated. I spyed our neighbours having Korean BBQ meat, however our good friend suggested a fried chicken party as their Fried Chicken are suppose to be super duper yummilicious. We thus started to order the various flavors and of course some korean wine to go with the meat.
The Original was crispy, tasty and juicy. Our good friend loved it so much that she ate almost half the chicken ($20 for half a chicken).
The garlic and soya sauce is my favourite, love the salty sauce and though my friends commented too savoury, it was just right for me. ($25 for half a chicken)
The spicy was a tad too spicy... I only had a small middle part of the wing and couldn't take it anymore... I was worried my lips would grow to sausage size.
I was surprised they had the lunch menu in which the chicken portions are about 20% cheaper than the dinner prices. Well, take away is the same price with GST and Service Charge but the package was nicely packed with side dishes accompanying salad and cold dish packed separately including a complimentary can of coke, not forgetting forks and serviettes.
Now how sweet is that :)

We were pleasantly surprised by the number of booths at this flea. Mostly neatly arranged taking up almost half in length of the level 3 concourse in a good chronological order and banners placed at all the right places to direct crowd to the event location. The walkways were spacy and organizers friendly and easy to work with, environment kept calmingly cool with good ventilation and background music that hypnotises "Shop! Shop! Shop!"
It was fun as I browse walk through the many booths, inspecting a varied of merchandises from handy phone accessories, fashionable wear and foot wear, even ladies lingerie, children fashion and also had some rather interesting finds. As i'm a flea hopper, I tend to see pretty similar items being sold in most fleas, items like preloved clothes and accessories, branded make-up or korean skin care, children fashion and shoes.
I managed to find a few very interesting things and am going to name them one by one.
1. i saw fire extinguishers.... No kidding.... for the best protection for your family, your home and your loved ones. Equip yourself with a handy extinguisher for small kitchen fires or accidental electrical fires. Otherwise a fire blanket to snooze it off. Something i learnt, fire blankets have got no expiry date, now how educational is that.
2. Branded imported lingerie and bikinis.... I'm amazed, ecstatic even to find some very farmiliar brands from the USA being sold for $10 a piece.... colours were great and the booth owner was equally sexy as her merchandises.
3. Handphone accessories, something we cannot deny we still need and prices here were super affordable. I am glad a came by this booth.
4. Shoes shoes and more slippers? Yes, i found some really nice shoes for my men, slippers and casual wears.... usually flooded with preloved female footwear, here you get them new and for men...
5. I spotted fighting fish for sale... yes, these little aquatic tigers are for sale as ornamental lifestyle products. You get a nice container and a couple of these shimmering beautiful fishes.
The entire flea was very interesting to shop around made crowded by the nearby exhibitions and other conventions that are going on. I haven't got started on the funky t-shirts, super cheap toys and stationaries, interesting snacks and cakes on sale. Well its a flea with a good array of vendors and products, fit for the young and old.
Plus plus plus my niece got herself a super pretty blouse which she loved and a super cool rubber illuminated watch... Well her brother just go himself a minion t-shirt which is super comfy and thin... The parents.... stopped by almost every booth, lets just not get started about them!!!

Found this little treasure while I was browsing the flea market. Love the colours, collection, brands and varieties available and what more... they are very affordable :) *shivers with joy*
Its a humble looking stall neatly stacked with boxes and some standing shelves loaded with eye shadows with colours so many, you wish you had brought along a larger bag to hide your purchases from that bewildered look your hubby is gonna give you... So while i loaded up on the NYX eye shadows and not forgetting beautiful eye liners in multiple hues of black, brown and grays, and aimlessly drifted to the next section.
Lipsticks in all sorts of eye-popping colours that simply jump out at you. Yes. boxes of them neatly bundled with the colour number facing up. Yes... affordably priced, you can get a few of the fluorescent plump looking lip glosses to go with your equally loud lipsticks.
Besides NYX, they do also carry a few other brands and service is well... super friendly. Blushes, brushes, foundations of all textures and whatever that makes you pretty is also available. They do appear mostly in fleas otherwise you would have to catch them online via their online shops.
I had a wonderful time browsing their merchandises which has an amazing variety, prices are very economical (you know what i mean), products are real good quality and mostly sealed.. Now don't get me started on that multiple blush palette that contained 3 colours of blushers or many combinations of eye colours in one box.... I just couldn't stop....
