Qoo10 product recommendation – Deep fryer machine

July 20, 2020 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Have always wanted to get my hands on one of these deep fryer machines. Deep frying is one of those things i used to dread because of the amount of oil used, from both the wastage and health points of view. Well, having done deep frying quite a bit by now, you could say i … [Read more…]

Qoo10 Product recommendation – Egg Sitter

May 15, 2020 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Okay, yet another product discovered through Facebook, and it is also yet another kickstarter project. It’s a very compelling product, but so expensive! Especially since i missed the early bird deal, which still costs S$83 per piece. So, i looked for a cheapo imatation, and lo and behold, there is the Egg Sitter. I think … [Read more…]

Qoo10 Product recommendation – Korean Instant Noodles

May 14, 2020 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Since Chapaguri was featured in the movie Parasite, I think a substantial number of people who saw the movie would have been curious enough to actually try to procure the noodles. I suppose you can count me as one of them. Well, not that i was desperate to try the noodles at once. Happens that … [Read more…]

Dash – Cashback king till 30 Sep 2019

July 11, 2019 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Well, I’ve only recently signed up with Dash, the payment platform by Singtel, mostly out of curiosity. I’ve noticed their ads at Food Republic food courts for the longest time, but never felt any urge to give them a try. I did so recently, just to check if they offered any good deals. What do … [Read more…]

Qoo10 product recommendation – Imex CR-100 coffee bean roaster

February 2, 2019 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Doing home coffee bean roasting isn’t so popular in Singapore, so it’s not easy to buy a home coffee bean roaster machine. Thanks to Qoo10, we have access to Korean made machines, and Imex is an established brand. Specifically, the CR-100 is a good entry level bean roaster. It is a fluid bed roaster (hot … [Read more…]

Qoo10 product recommendation – Pantum M6550NW wireless laser printer

January 31, 2019 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Laser printers are not very lasting – specifically, the drum. After going through 2 or 3 toner cartridges, the print quality deteriorates and the drum has to be replaced, and it does not come cheap. In my opinion, it is better to buy a new printer than to replace the drum – you are guaranteed … [Read more…]

Qoo10 product recommendation – Europe prepaid data SIM

September 15, 2018 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Two years ago, I discovered that Three offerred probably the best prepaid data SIM for Europe, but it was only available to UK residents. There were just a few resellers on eBay back then. Well, it didn’t take long for some enterprising ones to bulk purchase the SIM cards for sale in Singapore. Now you … [Read more…]

Qoo10 product recommendation – cordless vacuum cleaner

February 8, 2018 by yenkai Leave a Comment

A cordless vacuum cleaner is only as good as the battery enclosed. The moment the battery dies, you basically have to toss it. For this reason, i don’t really want to buy an expensive cordless vacuum cleaner, and to me, anything above S$100 is expensive. While i buy just about everything from Taobao, i feel … [Read more…]
