Saboten @ Somerset 313 and @IMM

I love Saboten! It's one of the recent food that was recommended by my colleagues (yes, I know I'm very outdated) and it's really damn awesome to the extent that I dragged PL to have it together with me for dinner.

There are 2 huge differences between the Somerset 313 outlet and IMM outlet. They are the price factor and availability of refill. IMM's outlet does not offer refill, thus the price is cheaper.

Note: I ate at Somerset 313 on a weekday afternoon (lunch) and weekend dinner for the IMM outlet.

The service for 313 is very good and it was very quiet; really good for catchups as there are not much distractions. They are also very prompt in serving the meals so we did not have to wait long for the food - a plus point when we have to rush back for work after that. I ordered the Katsu curry set. The Katsu was just so freaking awesome. I can taste the tenderness of the meat and the crispiness of the batter with every single bite, and leaves me craving for more. It's a pity that they did not have the option of adding on extra katsu pork but just as well; I was so full that I could barely walk back to office. My colleagues and I also managed to clear off a whole bottle of the sesame dressing - I must say that it was really delicious with the shredded cabbage. The place is a must go if you are a big eater or still undergoing the puberty stage - you get your money worth. We polished off 3 big bowls of cabbage - quite a decent feat in my opinion.

For the IMM outlet, there is no refills available but it is also very satisfying. The  downside about it was that the food took very long to arrive. We enquired with the staff and she told us that it's the norm during weekends at IMM. I can understand why as the food was equally good. Of course, since we are paying lesser, the bowl of cabbage was also significantly smaller and the dressing came in limited quantity. PL and I shared a set as we wanted to try other food in IMM but we are relatively full after that one set of Double cheese Minced meat katsu curry set. The staff there are also equally attentively, if not a bit too zealous about clearing off the dishes.

When looking around, the Ebi Katsu set caught my eye. I'm definitely going back for more!

Review: Learning spanish with Wlingua Spanish

It has already been a dream of mine to learn Spanish but due to the astronomical cost involved in picking up Spanish at a language school ( I was looking at las lilas school ), I gave up. So, while I was randomly surfing the net, I came across this app, Wlingua Spanish , which has a 7 days free premium trial and it seems to have quite good reviews on google play. As such, I downloaded the app and started using it. What can I say, it's awesome! I don't know how the basic plan looks like since I am still on my premium trial, but the layout of the course is really pretty good. According to the app, it covers up to B1 of the Spanish course, which equates to around 3 years of study in a language school. That's more than good enough for beginners like us. Below is a screenshot of my progress in 4 days, and I have been spending around 4-5 hours each day on this app. It seems like I got to take a long time even before I can complete the A1 course. T.T This app has a rewar...

Phonics Class at Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA)

Today, I am going to share my review of the phonics enrichment school that I have been sending Hunter to since start of July 2023. To give you the background, Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA) base its phonics classes on Jolly Phonics, and is located in Bugis.  I first got to know about CTA when they launched their phonics workshop. Being the ambitious mum, I thought that I could save some money and teach Hunter phonics by myself. After going through the workshop, I realised the amount of work I have to put in to curate the materials, and I decided that it is best left to the experts and I would just revise the contents with him at home during the week. Below are the information from CTA. They run the classes by terms and classes are tagged by levels.        Price List for 2023                         Hunter is currently in Intermediate phonics and will be advancing up next year.  I love the approach ...

[Review] Lovejoy confinement centre in JB

I did an unthinkable thing, which is to head over to JB for confinement. When I first suggested that, everyone around me warned me against it. They cited the lack of healthcare should I or Hunter is unwell and the inconvenience caused by the distance. I wasn't deterred and pushed forward with it and I didn't have any regrets. I enjoyed my time there tremendously and would go back there again if not for my insistence that I would not have a second kid. All that being said, there are definitely some cons but they are minor issues in my opinion. An unassuming front  Pros: Amazing food As everyone knows, food in JB tastes better and the confinement centre is no exception. 5 meals are provided a day with unlimited milo and biscuits should you be hungry. (Trust me, breastfeeding is hungry business). The timings are 9am (breakfast), 12pm (lunch), 3pm (teabreak), 6pm (dinner) and 9pm(supper). As you can see, I was really well taken care of in the food department when I was there. Huge ...

Our 1st home

In a few months' time, we will be moving out of our BTO home. It is a bittersweet moment as we have painstakingly designed our place, putting in months of efforts. However, we (or mainly I) decided that we have outgrown this current flat, and require more space for our growing boy. (And it definitely does not help that both of us are currently working in a hybrid mode.) Our place before we shifted in: Our platform bed - You may be amazed that it fits a king sized bed We chose casement doors for the cupboards I love the spanish made wooden tiles! We got it at Soon Bee Huat Our customized racks in the bomb shelter The view from our home After moving in: The kitchen The living room It has been a good 6 years. 

Review: NUR1113 (Active Ageing in Singapore)

Apparently this is a year one nursing module. This is another module which is highly bidded for, and a relatively easy module. Lectures can be skipped, as long as you read the lecture slides on your own. All the information had been pasted into the slides, rendering the lecture useless. The lecturer usually just reads from the slides. Tutorials are easy. Nothing much to prepare, and basically, they are logic questions. I remember doing a powerpoint presentation for this module. We also did random experiments in tutorials. However, one thing not good about being the minority in a close-knitted faculty means that you can't really interact with the rest of the module mates. They all have a similar timetable, meaning that you have to suit their timing. Something to consider if you are taking language modules huh.
