WE FINALLY TRIED 塚田農場 美人鍋 TSUKADA NOJO BEAUTY POT!


We reached the Tsukada Nojo restaurant located at Plaza Singapura at 7pm. The waitress told us that we had to wait for about an hour or so. We were quite shocked, but since we were already there, we decided to wait.




Take a look at the menu  :

Eating the Bijin Nabe!!


Tsukada Nojo's specialty is the Bijin Nabe with the golden Jidori chicken soup. The Bijin Nabe is a combination of vegetables, seafood and chicken cooked in the soup. The soup is cooked for about 8 hours until the chicken bones are fully dissolved and then it is allowed to cool down. The soup turns into a smooth silky pudding that is super rich in collagen, which is very good for both men and women.

Bijin Nabe is served with chicken, prawns and vegetables and noodles. Tsukada Nojo provides you with 3 choices of noodles: thin egg noodle, thick mochi noodle or rice noodle. We chose the thin egg noodles. As it was our first time here, the helpful waitress explained the correct way of eating it.

We waited for the collagen jelly to melt in the hot pot. Then we took a sip of soup using a sake cup. After that, we started to stir the soup and we fished out the pieces of chicken that were cooked in the soup. There are 4 different types of dips for the chicken : chilli shoyu, negi ginger oil, yuzu pepper and red chilli oil. I like theYuzu Pepper dip best!

Next, the waitress started to place the chicken meatballs into the soup. Followed by the yellow zucchini, lady’s finger, watermelon radish, baby corn and yuzu. Next, she added in the deep fried tofu, sunflower sprouts, black fungus, mushrooms, baby sweet potato leaves and fresh shrimps.
Finally, we added the thin egg noodles in. The soup is very rich and savory. The first refill is complimentary, but subsequent refills are chargeable.

While we were tucking in, the waitress came to our table and told us that this seaweed is for us to try. She mentioned that it would give the soup more depth, so we decided to try it. PLUS the seaweed came in the shape of a heart! Awwwww........

Our dinner came with a plate of complimentary sweet plum jelly. So arigato to the staff in the kitchen!



VERDICT : 

It was a good experience for us. The taste is very different from the normal steamboats that we eat. We totally wouldn't mind coming again for their collagen steamboat even though we might have to queue for a long time. They also have two more outlets at Chinatown Point and Westgate.



PRICE  : 

$25 per person for a set (2 persons max).

I have always wanted a smaller and sharper face. Thus, I made a decision this year to do nose fillers and chin fillers. I did some research on fillers in Singapore and looked for a clinic that is suitable for me. I came across The Clifford Clinic and I decided to give it a try, so I made a call and booked an appointment on 10 February 2015.

The day finally came.  I arrived at the clinic with my boyfriend. I was so scared and excited at the same time. My boyfriend came along to give me some moral support, he kept telling me that he would be here for me. He assured that it would all turn out ok and that I need not be afraid. I felt better after hearing his words.

After 15 minutes, the nurse called my name, and I went into the room with my boyfriend. I met Dr Gerard Ee for the first time. He was very nice and gentle. I told him what I wanted to do and he told me that the results I wanted was achievable. I told him about my fears and he told me that it would not be as painful as I imagined it to be. Dr Gerard Ee asked his nurses to prepare the fillers while I took a seat.


Within a few minutes, he was done injecting the fillers into my nose bridge and chin.

I went to the Gym a few days after I had nose and chin fillers done. It is safe to resume your normal activity after getting fillers done.


A few weeks later, I went back to The Clifford Clinic for a review. This time I decided to do jawline botox to achieve a V shaped face. With the botox and fillers done, my face looks so much sharper and smaller. Getting the fillers and botox done was the best decision I made this year.

    I was very excited when I heard that Triumph in the Skies is coming out in the movie theaters.


    Many of the casts are my favorite idols and I got to watch the movie preview, courtesy of Tiffany Yong. 


    Tiffany invited me the Truimph In The Skies Movie Gala Premiere in Singapore. Seeing Sheh Sze-man (Charmaine Sheh) 佘詩曼 (佘诗曼) in Singapore was like a dream come true for me.

    If there is one movie you should watch this Lunar New Year, it has to be [ 衝上雲霄 ] Triumph in the Skies.

    Movie Synopsis of Triumph In The Skies:

    Branson (Louis KOO) recently takes over Skylette, his father’s business, only to realize his 前女友 ex-girlfriend -- Cassie (Charmaine Sheh) works there too as a flight attendant . Many years ago, he had been forced to break up with her and move to New York to take care of his father’s business. Up to this day, they still continue to harbour feelings for each other but decide to keep it in their hearts.

    In order to promote the airline, Branson invites rock idol TM (Sammi Cheng) to star in an upcoming commercial and appoints Sam (Francis Ng) as her flying supervisor. Both of them were very different in their tastes and experience, thus this couple gets off on the wrong foot. As the shoot went on, they slowly discovered each other’s virtue , and develop a very strong mutual attraction to each other.

    Jayden (Julien Cheung) has left Skylette Airline to become a pilot for private jets. He meets the youthful and vivacious Kika (Kuo Tsai Chieh) during a flight. But they turn out to have many things in common and started falling in love.

    Each of the three relationships comes with its own story. Watch the movie to know the outcome of these three relationships!



    Verdict :
    ☆☆☆
    3 out of 5 Stars


    Today we went to Taste Paradise restaurant.

    We ordered my favourite golden custard bun aka Liu Sha Bao. The distinctiveness is in its creamy runny egg custard filling which is made with salted egg yolk and butter. The soft outer bun coupled with the steamy oozing filling when bitten into feels like heaven on earth to me. The salted egg yolk felt very smooth and creamy.

    At the price of $5.50 for 3, it is value for money. The Taste Paradise Liu Sha Bao arrived steaming hot, the skin remained fluffy and soft even after 10 minutes of arrival. The Liu Sha filling flows and flows and flows. I heard that these Liu Sha Baos are made fresh and steamed once the order arrives.
     
     
    I highly recommend trying the Taste Paradise Liu Sha Bao if you dine there.
