Taobao product recommendation – multi egg frying pan

February 20, 2016 by yenkai Leave a Comment

I wasn’t going to recommend this frying pan, until now. Well, i was expecting it to be non-stick enough to require little to no oil/fat when frying eggs, which isn’t the case. It only works when you use a small amount of oil/fat (as you do with the typical non-stick egg frying pan), which i now feel is acceptable, … [Read more…]

Taobao product recommendation – child toilet seat adaptor

December 26, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Not a lot to say on this one, except that it fulfills its intended purpose. For a short period we were using a portable toilet bowl, which requires cleaning up after use. What I discovered was that by the time a child is ready for toilet training, they’re big enough in size to go direct … [Read more…]

Taobao product recommendation – SJ7000 Action Camera

December 3, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

I get nauseous easily from watching non-stabilized video, so I never wanted to get a camcorder to record video that I know I can’t bear to watch later on. However, i now need one to record the proceedings of an upcoming indoor event. With an under S$100 budget in mind, I turn to Taobao as … [Read more…]

ezbuy (65daigou) review

November 26, 2015 by yenkai 70 Comments

First off, it is important for me go clarify that this is not a paid review (and I say again that none of the reviews on this site is). 65daigou and many of the third party Taobao parcel forwarders pay bloggers to write reviews. Reading paid reviews always feels distasteful to me and takes away … [Read more…]

Survey of Singapore credit cards

November 23, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

I’ve written about the best credit cards for overseas spend (one of the more popular posts on this site) and also about credit cards that earn you the most cash rebate (it is slightly outdated already). Here’s my personal take on all the credit cards in the market. Note that corporate credit cards and cards aimed at specific … [Read more…]

Lazada review

November 20, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Lazada is a relatively newcomer to the online retail platform business, coming at the heels of Qoo10 and other wannabes. Despite seeing promotional ads for the site umpteen times, i never felt there was a reason for me to check out their site. It was while searching for a Hand Blender that a product listing from … [Read more…]

Shopback review

September 29, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

Now that I’ve received the first payout from Shopback, I guess I’m qualified to say something about them. The $25 payout consisted of $15 from an Agoda booking and $10 from the bonus given for signing up through Citibank and for updating the personal particulars. The best part of Shopback so far is in getting … [Read more…]

Honestbee review

September 26, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

I received my first Honestbee groceries delivery yesterday. Well, they were more than 3 hours late. So much for “get groceries fast”. I was sceptical and my scepticism turned out to be right. If you read their website about how they work, they basically recruit temporary staff to do all the work – packing and … [Read more…]

Taobao product recommendation – Orico Dual Bay Hard Drive Dock

July 21, 2015 by yenkai Leave a Comment

These days, with everything going digital, everyone needs some kind of digital backup storage (to store photos, videos, documents etc.). It can be in the form of an external harddisk, thumbdrives, cloud storage (Dropbox, Google drive etc.) or the now-probably-obsolete optical disks (DVD, Bluray). In terms of safety, probably nothing can beat cloud storage, since it is managed (someone … [Read more…]
