Chabuton Singapore

{Media Invite} Launch of Premium Tonkotsu Ramen - The Kurobuta



Here at the media event hosted by Chabuton Singapore @ 313 Somerset,  we were introduced to the Premium Tonkotsu Ramen - The Kurobuta which is created by Chef Yasuji Morizumi.


We were actually pretty impressed that the Chef looked pretty young to be recognised as the world's first Michelin-starred Ramen Chef. He was also crowned "Best Ramen Chef" by TV Champion, a famous culinary contest in Japan.

We were first served with some drinks followed by 2 side dishes - Fried Gyoza and Ika Karage whilst waiting for the ramen to be ready. 

We also learnt a new method of eating the fried sides - by dipping them in a MIXTURE of Gyoza Sauce and Chilli Oil (Layu).

Gyoza Sauce + Layu = Perfect Dipping Sauce!!

It was unbelievable that the blend actually tasted better than just having the sides with Gyoza Sauce. The Gyoza Sauce tasted like light soya sauce (unlike the Chinese way of using Vinegar) whereas the layu had some sesame fragrance in it. The mixture was nowhere spicy but tasted pretty unique :)

There comes the highlight of the show - The Kurobuta!!

The soup base consists of a blend of Chicken Collagen Soup broth and Tonkotsu. We were told to sip the surface of the soup first as it contained Chicken Collagen on top before mixing with the Tonkotsu base below.  The soup not only tasted rich and creamy, it is highly nutritional too due to its collagen content :)

Chef even jokingly told us to enjoy this dish and to go and fall in love next as we will be rejuvenated by the collagen soup.

Another commendable part of this dish is that the Kurobuta pork actually melts instantaneously when you pop it into your mouth! It was a pity that the portion of meat served was not much as we really loved it lots!

The Kurobuta pork is the highly prized pork in Japan and its marbled meat comes with small, fine streaks of fat that make each slice richly sweet, tender and succulent.

Other ingredients of ramen includes Japanese leek, Bamboo Shoots and Soft-Boiled Egg. 

I think the egg was another great hit of the event as many bloggers and instagramers started taking photos as the golden liquid yolk flowed out from the semi-boiled egg. Taste wise can be summarised by one word - 'good'. Even Samantha commented that she wanted an extra serving of the meat :D

LIMITED OFFER!!

(17 January - 31 March 2015)


If you are convinced by my review and wanted to give this dish a try, do note that it is only available from 17 January to 31 March 2015.

MU MIEUX COLLAGEN MU Nutrition+ by Mary Chia

(Ad) Youthful and Supple Skin with MU MIEUX COLLAGEN MU Nutrition+ by Mary Chia


"A Bottle A Day for Youthful and Supple Skin!" 


As a bride-to-be, I am super excited to sample this box of collagen sent from Sample Store. 

About MU Nutrition+


Most of us are unable to obtain a good balance of nutritions based in our daily lives. Also, we are constantly exposed to high levels of electro-magnetic waves from electronic gadgets and equipment we use on a daily basis. 

This continuous exposure to free radicals and consumption of processed and genetically modified foods create imbalance within our bodies which can be quite detrimental to our health and overall well-being. 


Hence the MU Nutrition+ range of supplements is designed to address the below common concerns:

1. Pre-mature ageing due to loss of collagen and key vitamins for skin and organs
2. Improve body's detoxification abilities
3. Enhance gastro-intestinal health by introducing beneficent bacteria (probiotics) 
4. Improve overall metabolism and blood circulation
5. Block / displace excess fat, sugars and carbohydrates consumed through daily diet
6. Enhance overall organ functions
7. Increase energy levels and vitality
8. Improve immunity

FAQs


What is Collagen?


Collagen is a protein in the human body which is required to maintain the structure and density of your skin. Collagen proteins derived from fish contain high amounts of amino acids and peptides directly involved in the formation of collagen and elastin. 

Ideally, young and healthy skin should consist of about 80% of collagen. However our bodies produce lesser collagen in our mid 30s which results in our skin not being able to regenerate naturally. 

As we advance in age, the level of collagen drops to about 40% and our skin will lose its firmness and wrinkles starts to form.

When is BEST to take Collagen?


It is better to start earlier in order to enjoy the long term benefits - but improvements can be made at practically any age!

Why MIEUX?


MIEUX contains BHN (Marine) Collagen which can be better absorbed by our body as compared to other types of collagen with same molecular weight. 

In addition, MIEUX is enhanced with CoQ10, Ceramide and Vitamins C and E for skin hydration, elasticity and luminosity. 

Hence you are enjoying the benefits much superior than just collagen in itself ;) 

Directions of Use


Recommended consumption is 1 bottle (50 ml) a day before bedtime.

**Shake well before consumption; consume the entire entire bottle after opening.

Do not be kiasu / overly greedy because excessive collagen consumed will not be absorbed by the body and will be an utter waste.

When will I start to see results?


On the average, it takes about 2-3 weeks to notice the skin becoming more hydrated and supple. However, the disclaimer is that results may vary from individual to individual as other lifestyle habits such as diet, smoking of tobacco products and alcohol consumption as well as sleeping habits and exposure to UV rays will also affect the skin condition.

Ingredients


Every bottle of MIEUX contains 3000mg BHN Collagen and 10mg Ceramide.

MU MIEUX COLLAGEN MU Nutrition+ by Mary Chia

My Review


MIEUX contains Apple extract and the taste wise is rather sweet and sourish but not very unpleasant in my own opinion.  Texture wise is syrupy (tastes better than cough syrup).

I could drink the entire bottle without hiccups unlike other brands of marine collagen which I have tried earlier which contains the fishy taste. 

Also, I noticed that my skin has become smoother after consumption :)

Validity: 1st February - 31st March 2015

Review: VDL Tint Bars from The Golden Fishery

(Ad) Obtain Muack-able Gradient Lips with VDL Tint Bars



GRADIENT LIPS have been the most iconic feature in Korean Make-Up as it creates the visual effect of freshly bitten lips. 

Review: VDL Tint Bars from Golden Fishery
Traditional Way to create Gradient Lips
Image Credits: Yun Shock's Blog

However, it is rather time-consuming to create if you are using the typical lipstick / lip tint + concealer method like the above picture.

To cut the process short, why don't we just you a single product and create the same gradient lips almost effortlessly? I've found the lazy and fuss-free solution - VDL Triple Shot Tint Bars.


I was soo excited when The Golden Fishery sent me a parcel with the VDL Cosmetics that their e-store sells.

The Parcel came with a Thank You card as well as freebies
Unboxing the goodies ~

VDL Triple Shot Tint Bars (SGD17.50+)


VDL Triple Shot Tint Bar is a triple-coloured lip tint that creates petal-bitten gradient effect with a single touch. It basically functions like a lip-balm and base in one. 

This product coats, treats and colours lips for a bright and voluminous look in just a single sweep of the stick :)

Review: VDL Tint Bars from Golden Fishery

These tint bars come in 5 variations:

- 101 Triple Pink,
- 201 Triple Candy
- 601 Triple Peach,
 - 501 Triple Red 
- 502 Triple Burgundy

Review: VDL Tint Bars from Golden Fishery
Directions of Usage

Using the lip tints is a breeze as you can choose to use them horizontally to get that gradient colour effect or use them vertically for milky coloured lips.

Verdict


My favourite of the 5 is 101 Triple Pink because it makes my lips pop and suits my skin tone the most.  

The lip tints are very moisturising and my lips did not peel as a result of wearing it for the entire day. 

However, the down side is that the lip tints are rather sheer (i.e. not pigmented enough) and hence the gradient effect created is not very obvious. 

The bottomline is that it is a very convenient and great product to use if you are looking for a tinted lip balm :)

VDL Milk Colada Tint Bars (SGD21.50+)


VDL offers the liquid lip tints which tints you lips to produce a long-lasting result as well.

Review: VDL Tint Bars from Golden Fishery
A milky lip tint in rosy, flirty colours with a soft, moisturising wear

These VDL Milk Colada Tint Bars have a milky consistency when applied but soon will end up as a tint on your lips once dried. I love these liquid lip tints because they 'dye' my lips pretty well unlike the Benefit ones which failed to pigment my lips well.

601 Coral Colada


Perfect if you are looking for semi-nude lips.

Review: VDL Tint Bars from Golden Fishery

101 Pink Colada


Great for normal usage for a soft pink tint :)

Review: VDL Tint Bars from Golden Fishery

301 Violet Colada


Ideal for dates :D
