Like many new products i’m trying out these days, i first saw these Fridgeballs on one of the Facebook videos. Toss one of these balls into your fridge and your fruits and vegetables will last twice as long. Sounded like a good idea, and i immediately did a search on Taobao to see if such … [Read more…]
The online marketplaces have seen a boom in their sales volume recently, thanks to the Circuit Breaker measure that has resulted in home-bound people doing much more shopping online than in brick-and-mortar shops.

Not sure if you feel the same, but once taken-for-granted, now the Supermarket has become almost a sacred place.

To make Tamagoyaki, you really need a special pan. You need a small pan so the eggs would be thick, and it has to be rectangular or square so you can make a roll out of it. I needed little convincing to buy one of these pans on Taobao. If you’re lazy to do parcel … [Read more…]
You’d think i was crazy if i told you the reason i bought a set of the Flic 2 smart buttons. It is for reminding myself if i had the gas stove turned on. You guessed it, there were incidents where i turned on the flame, walked away and totally forgotten about it. The consequences … [Read more…]
