This is the BEST... I really mean BEST tiramisu I ever had...
The sponge soaked in Kahlua... It's heavenly...
Personally preference, I prefer the tiramisu desserts than the cake... But if it's for bday... I think the cake looks more presentable...
Order 2 days in advance and the cake will be deliver to your doorstep at no charge! But if suddenly you got craving, you can try to call them and ask them for the earliest date of delivery... There was once I suddenly have craving for Tiramisu and I called them... They are able to do a next day delivery!
*Method: Brow Construction - Threading
*Price: $15/session
*Package: $107 for 11 session of Brow Construction (Threading) 1 session of Forehead Threading
Normally, I go to Hollywood Secret at Scotts to trim my eyebrow... But currently, Scotts is under renovation. Ever since Scotts is under renovation, my brows are left unkept... I don't pluck my brows myself...
"Eyebrow Threading is a very quick and effective, traditionally Indian and Middle Eastern, way of getting rid of rows of unwanted hair, but it is catching on in the West too. Threading method is also known as the “fatlah” or “khite”. It is done by twisting a thread to pull or cut hair. The therapist uses a piece of taut twisted thread to pull out the hair. It is no more painful than tweezing and is faster. Eyebrows threading is done in usually every 2-3 weeks. Eyebrow Threading is more thorough as compared to waxing, in taking off individual hair strands."
Threading your eyebrows is better than plucking because by eyebrow threading the hair grows slowly, plucking hurts more. and plucking takes time whereas threading can be done in less than 2 minutes.
So I was shopping at Raffles City that day... I just walk into Browhaus...
As compared to Hollywood Secret, there's no crowd here... Browhaus specialize in brows hence there are much more therapists here...
I'm someone who fear pain.. As compare to the normal tweezing, threading is less painful and it's faster... Within 10 minutes... WooHoo... My brows are done!
The place is very clean and the therapists are all very friendly... No hard selling!
With such good skills and service, I signed their package immediately! I look forward to my next visit!
claudsaid: Cool! Will go give it a try. Walked by a few time but didn't enter. Maybe one day this week I should go thread my brow... tsk tsk 25 Sep 2007 at 12:15 am

Last wednesday, I attended a wedding at Pan Pacific...
The menu as follow:
1. Combination of Deluxe Appetizer (Suckling Pig, Roast Duck, Prawn Salad, Chicken Money Bag & Jellyfish) My mummy commented that the Jellyfish is very nice... Bouncy and juicy... I find the whole dish a bit cold... If it's pipping hot... It will be great... Mummy 'suaned' me saying that this is a cold dish... Therefore it should be cold... =X
2. Braised Shark's Fin Soup with Shredded Fish Maw and Crabmeat Everyone of us had a big bowl of shark fin... There were more fish maw and crabmeat than shark fin... It was juz so-so...
3. Poached Live Prawns with Chinese Wine This dish is superb! The prawns are fresh and sweet... It taste like drunken prawn to me... I don't see any diff between the 2 dish...
4. Roasted Farm Chicken in Honey and Soya Sauce in Jasmine Tea Leaf Definately I couldn't taste the Jasmine Tea leaf... and I don't taste any diff of a farm chicken and non-farm chicken... Anyway it juz an average dish...
5. Steamed Fillet of Sea Perch With Crispy Fermented Bean Crumbs in Superior Soya Sauce.. This dish is quite different from the normal wedding fish... It doesn't comes in a whole... It's serve in fillet... So very easy to eat... No need to scare of bones... The fish is fresh... NICE...
6. Braised Sea Cumcumber and Bai Ling Mushrooms with Oyster Sauce on Seasonal Greens I love the sea cumcumber... very very well cooked! Soft and the sea cumcumber has 'soaked' the sauce in... Yummy
7. Braised Ee-Fu noodles with straw mushroom, preserved vegetable and yellow chives Nothing special abt this dish.. Nothing worth mentioning...
8. Sweetened Yam Paste with Ginkgo Nuts A very traditional Teochew dessert... From young, I hate this dish... Normally I will juz take a tiny spoon of it... As usual, I took a tiny spoon.. and I love it... I love the extra taste of corn in the coconut milk! It's so corn- sweet... My favourite dish of the night!
Somehow, I went to the dinner with some expectations... After it's Pan Pacific right? But I find the dinner average... And I believe a table there cost a bomb... It won't be cheap... And I dun think the price jusitfy the food...
Deep Cleansing Facial:
UOB debit Card is having a joint promotion with Body Contours. $28 for a session of deep cleansing facial. It’s quite worth it… And since I’m around the area, I decide to give them a call and try my luck to make an appointment. I called at 2:45 pm and WooHoo.. They got a slot at 3 pm…
So here I come!
When I walked into the building… The shop look so grand and professional… As compared to other beauty saloons I went to for facial… Body contours looks more pro… They have a group of customer service and sales consultant and every therapist is specialize. You wouldn’t find facial therapist doing body massage… And you won’t get therapist trying to sell packages to you when you are doing your facial…
The therapist was attended to me was Patricia. A middle aged auntie. She started the session with a face and head massage. The massage is superb good… I feel very relax and I lurve it… After the massage, was the usual stuff… Cleansing…
Next was the abstraction… The abstraction was HELL… It’s so painful.. I feel like crying… erm… actually I was on the verge of crying… Patricia used all her mighty strength to try to squeeze out whatever she is trying to squeeze. This is the first time I feel so painful. If she is gentler, perhaps I will enjoy the facial more…
She applied some cream/lotion/whatever that is to my face… Very cooling… Next was a icy cold mask… I guess by now my face is lobster red… Hence a icy cold mask might heal the swelling… That’s my guess…
She ended the facial by giving me another head and face massage. Out of the all the facial I did, Body Contours has the best face and head massage.
After the whole facial, a sales consultant, Helen took over… As usual… She introduces packages to me… I look at the ‘menu’ even before she approached me… On average, a facial at Body Contours is around $190. Yah, it’s rather expensive…
Anyway she offered the following (as far as I could remember):
1. Free and Easy Package
$1800 for 12 session 7% GST
As the name suggest.. Free and Easy… You could choose to do facial or body massage.
For the body massage, it includes steam bath, scrub and body massage.
I told her straight that I wouldn’t want to commit into such an heavy package. The products might not suit my skin. I prefer something smaller. Hence…
2. Free and Easy Package
$900 for 6 sessions 7%GST
It’s exactly the same as above… Juz half the package…
I can say after the facial I do have the intention to sign a package with them… I’m not young anymore… Time to take care of my skin… But $900 upfront is a bit too much for me… I do have my financial burdens… Hence…
3. Free and Easy Package
$500 for 4 sessions 7% GST
I find this package more suitable and affordable for me… $133.75 per session for a facial… I was not pressured by her to buy the package. It’s worth for the good service provided. The issue was whether the deal was good… I was wondering, what is their lowest limit… From $150 per session to $125 per session. Although it’s not significant for per session, but in a long run, it adds up to quite a lot! Maybe you can try to lower the price more…
So in the end, I did sign up for the last package… There is no expiry… and today’s facial is waived!
Therefore, it’s actually $535 for 5 sessions… It don’t sound that bad after all…
My tailored package:
4 Sessions of Free and Easy 1 Deep Cleansing Facial
Choose from:
Body massage with scrub with steam bath
Glyco Face Spa
Vitamin C Face Spa
O2 Oxygenating Face Spa
In Body Contours, there are more than the above 3 kinds of Facial… The sales consultant will recommend the ones that are suitable to you… And when you go for your facial, you don’t have to worry what to choose cos the therapist will decide for you depending the condition of your skin on that day…
The best part about Equinox is the view especially at night. .
If you wanna the window seat... You have to go early... Around 6:45pm...
I tried the dinner set... A starter, main course and a dessert... Abt $170 for 2 pax... The food tast good... However... The portion is a little too small... I wasn't full after the dinner... =X
Anyway.. I reached Equinox around 6:50pm and stayed there till around 10 pm.. I was enjoying the view! I think i was facing nicoll highway (if my sense of direction is correct)...
If not for special occassion... I think I wouldn't not wanna spent so much for a meal which I wun be full...
1=SGD 0.0587
The sponge soaked in Kahlua... It's heavenly...
Personally preference, I prefer the tiramisu desserts than the cake... But if it's for bday... I think the cake looks more presentable...
Order 2 days in advance and the cake will be deliver to your doorstep at no charge! But if suddenly you got craving, you can try to call them and ask them for the earliest date of delivery... There was once I suddenly have craving for Tiramisu and I called them... They are able to do a next day delivery!
It's definately MUST TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Can I give more than 5 stars?
