Cafehopping: Rouse & Comestivel Desserts

2015-08-12T11:00:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

Recently, I brought my family out to 2 different halal cafes. 1 is Rouse on Dunlop Street (near little india) and the other, to Comestivel Desserts! I was impressed by the online reviews of Rouse so I thought of giving it a try.

Rouse Cafe
36 Dunlop Street

Rouse is known for its variety of mains so I was quite excited about it. Here's a picture of me in front of the cafe. Parking is quite tough here so you'll need to come early and probably spend some time looking for a parking lot. Lucky for us, we got one which was quite near to the cafe.

Salsa Fries
Looks good but just taste like chopped onions and tomatoes. Nothing great about this.

Spicy Crab Penne
This tasted alright. Wouldn't order it again though.

Caesar Salad with added Shredded Chicken
Such a generous portion. Pretty worth it for $12, I must say.

B.O.B
This classic beef burger tasted alright. The patty was quite juicy!

Chicken Chomper

Steak and Salsa Fries

Mango Pavlova

Comestivel Desserts
55 Siglap Rd, #B1-11/12, 455871

Overall, food at Rouse isn't bad but it's not fantastic either. Either that or that I'm just really choosy. I will most likely not go back to Rouse, that's for sure. Keep in mind that cafes aren't cheap but you're probably paying for Instagram worthy food + a chill atmosphere. Great for you to sit, chat and drink kopi with old friends for hours. Maybe it's time I give up on cafes because my view of cafes being overpriced and serving MEH food still stands. With the same amount of money, I probably would feel happier eating at some halal seafood restaurant.
Looks like I may have to stop giving cafes chances ah. The last time I was this disappointed was when I gave Penny University a try. :P

But when it comes to Comestivel Desserts, I'll probably be back just for the Pavlovas. So shiok! It's located all the way in Siglap but don't worry, there's delivery options too. Just check them out on Facebook to find out more.

Till the next food adventure!

A National Day Special: Back To Basics

2015-08-10T10:00:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

This year marks the 50th year of independence for Singapore. Being a local blogger ~~and because I just received my shopping loots from Forever 21~~ , I thought it'd be apt to do a National Day Special.

Sometimes, this country makes me feel like I'm in a foreign land. Sometimes, I feel that I do not have a place here. Sometimes I feel that we're not "fun" enough as a country just 'cus there isn't any real, pretty beaches (other than Sentosa which is man made), there isn't any big festivals (other than Zoukout/Siloso Beach Party) and there isn't much things you can do here. (other than cafehopping?!)

However, when I meet other people from other countries, they tell me how life here is much more *insert positive characteristics* than their real homes that it makes them wish this was home for them. They're always impressed by our achievements as a nation. Maybe a huge part of it is contributed by the fact that we're just a little red dot on the map.

It makes me feel a little guilty for taking this home of mine for granted. Sometimes we're always so pessimistic that we forget to be thankful for what we have. This place is safe - I can walk alone at night without feeling scared, I don't have to be scared of taxi drivers kidnapping me and I don't have to be worried about any protests/riots happening anywhere here. I hope it stays this way. I have thought of working in a foreign land someday, (if I get an offer I won't be able to resist) hopefully, because I would like to experience life out of Singapore but this place will ALWAYS be home for me.

Back to the fashion talk :)

For this shoot, my outfit style is quite different than my usual looks. I went back to basics with this Tartan Plaid Shirt and Skinny Jeans from Forever 21. This is my first pair of pants in YEARS. YEARS, I tell ya!! It's SO HARD to find that fits me well!

On a separate note, have you ever wondered if a pair of skinny jeans will still be called "Skinny Jeans" if it's made for someone plus sized? Haha

If you look through my past OOTDs, I normally don't wear pants/jeans and would normally opt for a skirt instead because...

ONE
I have a big butt (no shit, sherlock), therefore it's harder to get a pair of jeans that would fit me comfortably, as compared to a skirt.

TWO

The weather here is really humid. #Complaincomplain #Typicalsingaporean
Uhm.... Skirts provide the right ventilation I need for my chunky legs.

So ya lor - here's a back to basic look for this National Day Special. Are you wearing red today? Share with me some selfies la!

Cheers,

Addictive PopGal popcorns + Giveaway!

2015-08-08T23:31:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

[Advertorial]

Recently, a blogger friend sent me a couple bottles of PopGal popcorns to my office and everyone got so excited. I felt very skeptical lah but gave it a try anyway because there’s no harm giving popcorns another chance.

So here’s a little background: When it comes to popcorn, I get VERY picky. Before I tasted PopGal, only Garette popcorn made the cut. The rest of the popcorns eg: the sort you buy from NTUC/Golden Village etc, are the popcorns you will NEVER see me eating. In fact, I don’t eat popcorns at all when I watch a movie! Why? Meh... I don't waste calories on substandard food. *insert talk-to-the-hand emoji*

My personal opinion: Garette popcorn is nice BUT it’s expensive and it’s packed in paper so it turn ‘laohong’ very easily. Hate it when that happens, especially their cheese popcorns! However now that I’ve been introduced to PopGal, there’s NO TURNING BACK for me! In fact, I might even buy and sneak a bottle into the cinema. Hahahahaha you can do the same too, as long as you don’t blame it on my blog or me when you get caught ah!

OKAY, OKAY, time to share with you more about PopGal! :)

PopGal is a brand under Daily Fresh Foods Group, one of the leading retailer of snacks in the world. It’s made from the best quality of mushroom popcorn kernels. I also found out that their popcorns are made WITHOUT any oil so that’s fantastic. No wonder my fingers didn’t feel oily when I kept popping them into my mouth! #NonStopPopping

Best part is, PopGal is halal certified!
Kakak-kakak, don't worry. This one got Malaysia's JAKIM Halal chop hor. [The equivalent of MUIS in Singapore]

WHERE TO BUY?
Currently PopGal popcorns are available at all Cheers outlets and RedMart. It comes in 4 different flavours; Caramel, Spicy Curry, Honeydew & Seaweed. For retail selling price, it is priced at SGD4.80 for large-sized and SGD3.30 for small-sized, which is very reasonable for high quality popcorns.

It’s soooo good that I’ve decided to buy a couple of bottles more (with my own money. Not sponsored!) to share with my colleagues at work. Good things must share mah! Tried Redmart for the first time and I’m quite impressed. If you choose to have it delivered on a certain day, you will get to enjoy discount. In this case, I got $4 discount because I chose to have it delivered on Monday morning. Woohoo!

#WINNING #AuntyModeON

If you ask me to choose between Caramel, Spicy Curry, Honeydew and Seaweed popcorn, I wouldn’t be able to do so because they’re all SOOOO good! You need to try it to believe it. It’s crunchy, flavourful and addictive. You’ll keep coming back for more, I swear.

So yeah, it’s GIVEAWAY time!

Wanna win some PopGal popcorns?

All you have to do is email me at rynaque@gmail.com with the following:
1. WHERE you can get your PopGal popcorns
2. Your contact details (full name, contact number and email address)

My treat! The team at Daily Fresh and Redmart aren't sponsoring this. It will come out from my own pocket because I’m just feeling generous.

Good luck and let’s stop wasting calories on shitty popcorns!

XOXO,

FASHION HACK 101: Mix and match outfits to create new looks.

Check out this look I created. This lace top I wore is actually a dress I bought from Kaylene in 2012. I wore it once for Cosmopolitan and Style magazine's Anniversary party and didn't wear it ever since until this look I created for my Hari Raya visiting part 67282991. Should try to wear this dress more often!

Colour blocking automatically jazzes up your outfit. In fact, you’ll automatically feel happier when you wear happy colours!! Trust me on this one. :P

GIVEAWAY: MY VISIT TO FLOW BOUTIQUE, PAVILION, KUALA LUMPUR

2015-02-25T20:46:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

<Sponsored>

*Hey YOU, plus sized fashionistas! Stay tuned for the giveaway & a super good deal at end of this post!*

Last month, I stumbled upon super cheap tickets to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia via Malindo Air and immediately made my purchase. You could say it was an impulse buy – I’d say it’s in line with my objective of going all #YOLO this year! Hehe. On a side note, airline tickets to KL is crazy cheap now so don’t miss out, OKAY????

Back to topic - Not sure if you remember this but some time April last year, a Malaysian clothing label for curvy and full-figured women called FLOW made its first appearance in Singapore via their pop – up counter at ISETAN Scotts. This time, since I was gonna be in Kuala Lumpur, I told myself that I MUST visit their biggest store which is in Pavilion Mall, Bukit Bintang.

What I love about FLOW is the fact that not only are their apparel appealing for bodies like you and I, the quality of their clothes are superb! I still have the apparel I got from them last year and they all look BRAND NEW despite being worn every now and then. The line carries sizes from US 8 (UK 12 to US 18 (UK22). ;)

Before I zoom into the boutique I visited, just sharing with you snippets of their latest SPRING 2015 Collection called Spring Breeze. So chic, fun and flirty! Love it. <3

Just look at these! They’re perfect to be worn for the weekends. Whether it’s a girls day out with your girlfriends or even if you’re just chilling by the pool, you can still channel your personality through your outfit. Weekends are for dressing down – we ALL know and FLOW’s latest Spring 2015 is perfect for that!

{The models featured are in size US12 & US14 which fits the size range FLOW offers.}

FLOW has 5 beautiful boutiques in Kuala Lumpur.

Pavilion * Visited this one! ;)

Lot No. 4.25.12, Level 4, 168, Jalan Bukit Bintang

Metrojaya Midvalley Megamall
Ground Floor, Mid Valley Megamall, 1, Lingkaran Syed Putra, Mid Valley City

KL SOGO

1st FL Ladies Floor, Kompleks Sogo, 190, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman

Suria KLCC

Lot 135B, First Floor, Suria KLCC, Kuala Lumpur City Centre

Parkson IOI City Mall

Ground Floor, IOI City Mall, Lebuh IRC, IOI Resort City

The moment I stepped into the boutique, I was immediately greeted by their team. Don’t take it the wrong way – I wasn’t given special treatment just because I was a blogger. They do this to all their other customers too! (Also, at first they didn’t know that I was the blogger who was coming to visit the boutique.) I love how the team was extremely proactive in recommending suitable apparel for me. A* for service!

Looked around and finally revealed who I am. Took out my camera and started snapping.

Check out their accessory selections – suitable to match with their latest Spring Breeze collection.

I picked a couple of my favourite apparel from the boutique. If you want to see how I styled them, keep your eyes peeled as I reveal my upcoming lookbooks really soon!

So many pretty tops, skirts, pants, dresses to choose from. You’ll be spoilt for choice, for sure. Whether you’re looking for something to wear for your upcoming presentation, your first day of work or even your upcoming hot date, there’s bound to be something for you. If you can’t find something your size on the racks, let the staff know and they’ll check it for you!!

Details, details, details! It’s all about the intricate details that makes an outfit on point!

Want a black top but don’t want it to be too plain? They’ve got it covered.

Left : Tops for colour blocking
Right : The perfect dress for a Friday night out with your significant other

I got my eyes set on this incredibly sexy sequinned dress. Too bad they didn’t have it in my size!

I would have grabbed it!!! </3

Last but not least, the Spring Breeze collection!

1 more week to the biggest countdown party of the year!

I've been spending my new year's eve at the Siloso Beach Party for the last 3 years. It's like a yearly tradition for me to soak up the atmosphere because there's really nowhere else I'd rather be partying at this new year's eve. Really!!

Best part about the party is that with one ticket, you get access to FIVE distinctive party zones, a foam pool (normally avoid this because I don't want my make up to run haha) and a stretch of sandy dancefloor. Super worth it! I normally start out my evening with dinner at VivoCity, then at Mambo/Azzura before heading to the main arena. ;)

From now till the 24th December, get each Siloso Beach Party pass at $58 ONLY. *

Turning 22 @Turi Beach Resort, Batam | Part 1 - Tirta Wing

2014-10-06T20:39:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

A week ago, yours truly turned 22 and decided to head to Batam for a mini retreat, courtesy of Turi Beach Resort with my friend Charlotte. I have to admit that I was so excited to leave the country (my last holiday was in November 2013) cus it was my first time celebrating my birthday away from busy, busy Singapore.

It's no secret that I really love Batam cus everything there is crazy cheap. Food, transportation, accomodation, groceries and many more. Whenever I head to Batam, normally I'd choose to the "city" area where I normally would stay at another, which is a walking distance to one of the biggest and most popular malls in Batam called the Nagoya Hill Mall.

But it's my birthday and what better way to spend it at the resort where I could enjoy the sun, the sand and the beach! I'm such a sucker for resorts and beach holidays!!!

So I chose to take a ferry from the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal to Nongsapura Ferry Terminal.

I didn't know that we could check-in our luggages as long as it's below 20kg for free, so I did. Just that you'll have to pay a 10,000 Rupiah when at the Batam baggage collection counter. (About SGD$1)

Happy because I'm baggage - free

The ride from SG to Batam took around 35 minutes ONLY. I loved how the terminal wasn't crowded at all. It could be cus I was there on a Friday instead of a weekend! :P

We were provided land transfer from the terminal to the resort and were happily greeted by Awang, Turi Beach Resort'sTuri Beach Resort's mascot! :)

Turi Beach Resort is located at the Hang Lekiu Street, Nongsa, Batam and has a total of 141 rooms. Basically, the resort has 2 different wings - the Riani and Tirta Wing. This also means that there are 2 swimming pools in the resort! Hell yeah bitchez!

DID YOU KNOW? Turi Beach Resort recently emerged as the "Best Resort in Batam 2014" category winner, crowned by the Batam Tourism Office.

Here's Charlotte quenching her thirst with our welcome drink.

I was just so delighted to be out to the country! (Even if it was just 1 day)

Forgive me for the super unglam mosquito patch. I'm just a kiasu Singaporean and didn't want mozzies to feast on my blood while I was there.:) You'll also be pleased to know that there's a few packets of mosquito repellent cream in each room.

If you need more, you can just call the front desk to request for more and they'll send it to you! How fantastic is that?! Superb service! It's no surprise why it's an award winning resort.

The Turi Beach Resort team brought Charlotte and I around to check out their rooms. Pretty neat I must say! :)

Check out the Tirta Junior Suite. Super beautiful!

You'll definitely love the unique zen ambience in this room.

Totally eyeing this room for my next trip to Turi Beach Resort! You can enjoy this room only at approximately SGD $308 per night.

Bathtubs are only available in the suits so if you love all kinds of bubbles like me, this will be the perfect room for you! ;)

Take a dip into the pool located at the Tirta wing and enjoy the scenic view together with your special someone. Such a waste that we didn't have time to dip into the pool for a swim but it's alright because I'll be back!!! ;P #MarkMyWords

We also checked out the Tirta Premier BeachfrontWe also checked out the Tirta Premier Beachfront room.

You can enjoy the room at only SGD$249 per night. ;)

Enjoy your own private balcony when you stay at rhe resort.

Next, it's time to check out the Riani Wing!

Wait but before that.....

I'm going on a break! :P

If you wanna find out how the newly renovated Riani wing looks like, how I spent my 22nd birthday, stay tuned for my next blogpost! ;)

P/S If you're the adventurous kind and would like to try some water activities, check out what you can do here. You are welcome! Heh

Inhale Confidence, Exhale Doubt

2014-10-03T09:00:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

When I take a look at my recent pictures, I feel a little strange inside. I used to have a couple of dresses I'd ALWAYS wear because there was nothing else I could fit and afford. I used to always be clad in black. Black was my favourite colour. Probably cus I could hide the figure I had always been so self conscious about and cus black never gets dirty,

We all know that black is such a safe colour. In fact, too safe. It doesn't allow you to stand out, it supposedly exudes sophistication and it also screams.... BORING!!!

So what's more interesting than an ordinary black top?

Black top with SPIKES, of course!!! This is my current favourite top :P

Outfit Of The Day

Spiked Black Peplum Top - Asos

Bandage Skirt - Asos

Spotify Premium Account Giveaway: Pursuing education at M2 Academy, the next HOTTEST campus in town!

2014-09-06T18:48:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

[Advertorial]

“Education is possibly one of the most important investments one will ever have to make in life.”

I cannot agree any more with this quote by the M2 Academy team. This is probably one of the reasons I’ve been putting my degree on hold (well other than the fact that I don’t really fancy studying). & because it is one of the most important investments in YOUR life, M2 Academy acknowledges that it is THEIR responsibility to ensure that students receive a great return on their investments. While everyone else has potential, the team at M2 Academy also wants to to guide you to find and unleash the potential in you.

A lot of people go to the university to get a degree just for the sake of doing it. After 20 odd years of education, they’ll suddenly feel “lost” and will start asking themselves…

“NOW WHAT?”

I know, because I’ve met people like that! While every educational institute only gives the student the technical experience, M2 Academy wants to be able to give their students a little more so that they are ready for the real working world.

This includes the opportunity to meet other students, the art of collaboration, teamwork VS the usual boring lecture sessions.

M2 Academy is in collaboration with the University of South Australia (UniSA), recognised globally as one of Australia’s rising stars. UniSA is also the youngest university in the world Top 50 of new universities in both the Times and QA University surveys; 14th in research rankings in Australia. At the moment, the diploma and degree programmes offered by M2 Academy are only from UniSA but rumour has it that there are plans of working with other universities in the future! SUPERB!!

Even their campus is not your usual boring campus…

The BEST PART about studying at UniSA at M2 Academy, is…..

#waitforit

Its fantastic campus location! I’m raving about this because it’s right smack in the middle of Orchard Road – where youngsters like you and I *AHEM* hang out!
The campus is at Orchard Gateway @ Emarald, which is just OPPOSITE Somerset 313’s Forever 21. If you’re hanging out with your frienzies after school, you can immediately head to Cathay Cineleisure (yay movies), Plaza Singapura, Orchard Central (think Spanish Doughnuts) and of course, Somerset 313 (ooooh Smoothie King)…

There’s even an amazing view of Orchard Road at the back of the Lecture Theatre!

Even their classrooms are NOT your usual classroom. You actually sit in groups. That screen in the middle is great for you to share slides/websites when you’re in a midst of a discussion. In fact, most of your learning materials are all available online on your student portal. Who needs textbooks anymore? NOT ME! This is called the flipped classroom approach where students learn new content online by watching video lectures. Enjoy interactive style education at M2 Academy. ;)

But hey, let’s face the hard truth that a degree or a diploma is pretty common in Singapore. While some may agree that paper qualifications are important, I believe that employers nowadays are looking for more than that. What can set you apart from the rest is…. Experience. When we talk about experience, I mean RELEVANT experience. Having your summer break and have nothing to do? Apply for an internship. Find opportunities to expose yourself to the working world. Again, that’s where M2 Academy comes into the picture. Despite being such a new institution, it already has partnerships with global multinationals across various industries. This includes your big names like OCBC, Microsoft, Bloomberg, Grand Hyatt, Mediacom and a couple more. In fact, there’ll be regular industry led practitioner presentations, networking events, career mentoring and access to dedicated and experienced career services team.

Sounds exciting to you? It sure is for me!

We were born to SPARKLE! How about do it with Plus Size Mannequin?

2014-08-18T14:13:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

Sequins are great! Makes you feel ultra fabulous no matter where you are. Wheee!! The moment I saw this dress on The Plus Mannequin's website, I knew that I just HAD to get it. It's no secret that I LOVE the colour blue a lot.

Pair this dress with a fuschia PINK lipstick and BAAM, you're good to start the party!

Looks like Lady Gaga's a fan of sequins too! I think every single girl in the universe should own at least 1 apparel with sequins on it. Could be a top, a jacket, a skirt, or a shirt... It's definitely A MUST HAVE in your wardrobe. You can thank me later! ;)

On a sunny day, I paired this outfit up with my trusty ol' Polaroid eyewear.

Someone so needs to stop me from getting anymore blue clothes and accessories. I should buy more greens instead. What do you think?

If I had things my way, I'd leave little sparkle everywhere I go.

There are 2 versions of this apparel. One's a dress here and the other's a top here. There are a couple of different colours for the dress, so CHOOSE your FAV!

For more beautiful apparels, visit their site now –

On a sidenote, I'm trying to look for a full - blown sequinned top like this. Anybody knows where I can get this?

Hari Raya Special - Hues Of Red

2014-07-28T20:58:00.000+08:00

MynameisQUE;

It's the time of the year again - Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri everyone.

This year, I made very minimal preparations for this year's celebration. 2014 has not been a fantastic year so I didn't really feel like going all out. In fact, I only purchased my Hari Raya outfits yesterday. I headed down to Sue Tariq's place to check out her collections.

Outfit Of The Day

Earrings from Diva

X'clusive Nina Kimono from Sue Tariq

Heart Tag Bracelet from Tiffany & Co

Pink patent bag from Kate Spade

"Tahun ni I takya masak Ayam Masak Merah cus abang, you make my pipi sooo merah!" #rayapickuplines

How's the first day of your Hari Raya celebrations?

Anyway, if you don't already know I went for lazer treatment at ClearSK Medi-Aesthetics on Saturday. Am so glad that I could wear my make up happily today because there's no down time at all after the treatment. I really thought I'd be making my visiting rounds with horrible looking skin as an effect of the treatment. :P I'll share with you guys more about this soon. Promise!!!!
