As with the Airfryer, this was a product that took a bit of deliberation before a decision was made to buy. Not that it is expensive, but I wouldn’t buy something I don’t need just because it’s cheap. And it is actually quite cheap for what it is, setting me back by 118 Yuan (S$24). … [Read more…]
This is my maiden attempt at using Taobao Global Direct Shipping. Yes, it’s almost just for the sake of trying out Global Direct Shipping that i did it, and with this, i have tried all modes of shipping goods from Taobao, namely, Global Direct Shipping, Global Consolidate and Shipping as well as third party (including cubic metre sea … [Read more…]
I’ve finally received the coffee bean grinder i ordered from Kickstarter last year, after a delay for more than half a year, plus another half a year wait for friends from the US to bring it over.

I finally got around to making Sous Vide steak. The first and most important lesson learned is that recipes can’t help you much. They really serve only as a guide and you have to learn by experience. Both times i tried making Sous Vide steak, they ended up being overcooked. Related posts: How to ship the … [Read more…]
I’ve debated with myself over the need to get an Airfryer for a long time, since i generally don’t eat deep fried stuff much, and knowing that an Airfryer is nothing but a mini oven with a turbo fan, but all along, I’ve pictured a scene in mind – eating home-made cheese fries with fried chicken wings … [Read more…]
Bottom line: Not recommended. First and probably the last time trying DEX/MSC. According to the status update, my parcel took 10 days to clear customs and be put on a flight, and 2 weeks to be delivered. There are 2 notifications telling me they’re out on delivery, but the first one was just a false alarm. Finally, I received … [Read more…]
The first recipe anyone wants having a go with Sous Vide is probably steak. No exception for me, but alas, I have frozen duck legs available on hand but not beef steak, so duck Confit it is. The recipe actually takes 12 hours of cooking time, which makes me wonder if it is a waste … [Read more…]
I have just gotten the Redmi Note 3 (Pro edition – with Snapdragon 650 CPU, also the Chinese rather than the International version, which is probably not yet available now and will obviously cost a lot more). There was an earlier release of this phone with the same name, but powered by the Mediatek X10 … [Read more…]
I think most people will be wondering what a suction pump can be used for. This one is actually meant to be used for vacuum packing blanket, comforter, bedsheet and the like, to reduce the space needed for storage. As such, it is quite a heavy duty pump, designed to draw a lot of air out in as … [Read more…]
My second Honestbee delivery came exactly on time at 12pm (my selected slot was 12 – 1pm), so, bravo on that. Only half the items i ordered were fulfilled, which is great – it means i’m getting a higher percentage of discount (43% to be exact). This makes me picture an imaginary scene in Honestbee’s … [Read more…]
