[FOOD] Little Sheep Hotpot Opens Second Outlet at Orchard Gateway 小肥羊火锅餐厅在 乌节路开第二间分行

No Signboard Holdings Ltd. opened the second outlet of Little Sheep Hotpot restaurant in Singapore, at the basement of Orchard Gateway with a seating capacity of 110 diners on 11 November 2019. Their first outlet was officially opened at One Fullerton, check out my previous blog post here for the write up.


Commenting on the opening of the 2nd Little Sheep Hotpot outlet in Orchard Gateway, Mr Sam Lim (林荣森), Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of No Signboard said, "We are excited about the opening of our second outlet. After the launch of our first outlet at One Fullerton near the iconic Merlion statue, we have decided to setup the second outlet in a prime location at Orchard Gateway to capture a healthy balance of local and tourist footfall. We would like to thank our business partners and our valued customers for their ongoing support in our Little Sheep Hotpot restaurants. Singapore continues to be a major market for our Group, and we will continue to explore other opportunities both locally and regionally to expand our business." 



Hotpot is something I can't resist and the main essences of a hotpot is none other than the broth base and meat which Little Sheep Hotpot can totally meet the standard and satisfy my taste bud. The combination of this delicious broth base with the mutton from the Inner Mongolian grasslands is perfect.


We were served with the dual flavour pot consisting of the signature soup and the spicy mala soup to cater for the different preference in this big group setting. The signature soup is made up of 36 different spices such as the goji berries, star anise and ginseng while the mala soup is bound to give you an additive spicy kick from the chilli oil and peppercorn. With such flavourful soup, one doesn't really need to go for the dipping sauce.


30 seconds is all it takes to cook the thinly sliced lamb meat in the hot soup. The lamb meat is extremely tender and juicy so even for me who don't usually eat lamb meat, I can actually accept the lamb meat here as it doesn't really have the gamey taste.


A flatlay photo where most of the food is already in the soup. We were too hungry to wait for all the dishes to be served.


 The rest of the dishes served.


Spotted the Little Sheep Hotpot Mascot from far! He came dancing in to the 'Kungfu Fighting' song. Super cute!


I actually had a hard time finding the restaurant when I was at Basement 1. Turned out, I had to go up to level 1, look for either Lovisa or Swatch and take the escalator down from there. This escalator would bring you straight to The Little Sheep Hotpot restaurant which was quite isolated from the rest of the shops at basement 1. Many thanks to Jessie for guiding me as I was really lost.


Congratulation to the 2nd outlet opening! To sum it up, Little Sheep Hotpot is one of the better alternatives to the hotpot scenes in Singapore as well as a great place to get your supper cravings fixed in Orchard. They open until 4am daily!  Head down to The Little Sheep Hotpot for a pot of rich broth as well as a plate of superb meat!

[Event] Singapore’s First Truffle Chips Boutique : Aroma Truffle Opens at Chinatown Point

Aroma Truffle & Co was founded with passion by three brothers Kenny Chan, Jonathan Chan and Kayson Chan who believes that luxury can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. With their dedication to create gourmet snacks using the finest ingredients, one can be sure to find REAL Italian Black Truffle bits in every bag of their hand-cooked potato chips as the chips' truffles are air-flown from a partner's truffle farm in Spoleto, Italy.

From Left to Right: Kayson Chan, Kenny Chan and Jonathan Chan, Co-Founders of Aroma Truffle at the launch of their very first boutique at Chinatown Point
Since its launch in late August 2018, more than 100,000 bags of Aroma Truffle's hand-cooed truffle chips have been sold both online and through their kiosk and pushcart. Thus, the decision to open their first boutique outlet at Chinatown Point which also serves as a pick up location for customer who placed their orders online. This location was chosen as it is located within the heart of Singapore and the brothers hope that Aroma Truffle will become an iconic local brand that even tourists will want to buy some and bring back home.


"We noticed that truffle was becoming an increasingly popular flavor. Truffle is extravagant because of its extremely short shelf-life. I wanted to create a decadent truffle experience that is affordable, and can be enjoyed anywhere." said Jonathan Chan, Chef, Aroma Truffle & Co.  


Jonathan has spent half a year sourcing for the right truffle partners and the team has experimented with close to 60 recipe variations before deciding on their special truffle flavored recipe. The main ingredient, Black Summer truffles, has a rich woody aroma with flavors of garlic, wild mushroom and earthy hazelnut undertones. The bag of chips also includes herbs and spices such as parsley, dill, garlic and sea salt.


Business was really good when I went down to visit during the official launch. Currently, only the Original and Parmesan flavored truffle chips are sold for S$10 per packet at the boutique.



Make a guess at the new flavour they are coming up and win a scoop to try.


 The answer is Black Summer Truffle Potato Chips (Honey Mustard) which is my favourite of all three. It is so addictive even Rena loves it so much and would not let me take it away from her. We were also introduced to the Truffle Butter which is not for sale.


Beside truffle chips, the brothers are also working on creating an affordable range of truffle seasoning so that consumers can add a hint of truffle to their daily meals like the refreshments we had. This sure is something for the truffle lovers out there to look forward to.


Right now, Aroma Truffle has plans to launch promotional activities such as giveaways, games and new products at their boutique. So, do stay tuned and connected to be the first to know of all their updates!

[EVENT] Official Opening of Times Book Store at Waterway Point, Punggol

Homegrown book retailer, Times, officially opens its biggest lifestyle concept bookstore today at Waterway Point, the newest mall located in the heartlands of Punggol.

Congrats on the official opening of Times Waterway Point
So fortunate for those who are staying at Punggol area. This new Times lifestyle concept bookstore is definitely one of the places where one can spend hours inside to explore the different sections.


Established in 1978, with a chain of bookstores throughout Singapore and Malaysia, Times Waterway Point is the 7th outlet here in Singapore. Spanning a floor area of about 7,335 sq ft and adopting the colour combination of orange and brown hues of wood structures and trims, this new bookstore brings about a modern and cheerful outlook. The different dedicated sections are also clearly indicated and easy to spot at a glance.


Times Junior is one of the key highlight at the new Times Waterway Point bookstore. 


This section features not only educational books and toys for the young kids, but also offers a conductive and fun area for children to read and interact with other kids. Just loving those adorable ladybug seats and the cushioned flooring.


Cute little red riding hood was stopped for an interview.


At the Lifestyle section, one can find comprehensive stationery, gift items and lifestyle accessories. Beside doing your shopping here, one can also attend workshops, activities or educational classes which will be held occasionally. Some of the upcoming activities that was planned include children story-telling, financial workshops, cooking demonstrations and arts & craft sessions.


Some of the interesting activities for the official opening. Didn't managed to get my name key-chain done as the requests were too overwhelming and only one person in charge. Managed to bring back a complimentary bottle of the nila essence. Two types to choose from, one is to help you to fall asleep easily at night and the other is to keep you alert during the day time. I choose the day time one so that I can stay focused at work.


Really appreciate Times for the complimentary privilege card, vouchers and goodies packed especially for us. Thanks Jessie too for bringing me along.

[Event] Official Opening of HKCplaza Korea Skin Aesthetic


Attended the official opening of HKCplaza Korea Skin Aesthetic which is located at 1 Tanjong Pagar Plaza #02-29 Singapore 082001. It's basically a one-stop beauty center to get your beauty products from Korea, do facial, skin treatment as well as IPL hair removal. 
 
One of the main products that they carry in their shop is this brand called HISTOLAB (HISTOPLANT CELL LABORATORY). It's some kind of stem cell extracts which needs professional advice for recommendation. 


One of their treatment room. 

Two products which they were selling that really pique my interest were their 

- Some Lip Tattoo (Comes in 4 colours)
- Real Like Innateline Eyebrow (Comes in 4 shades)

I purchased them on the spot after trying out since they are giving us discounts for the purchases that day. 


These are my purchases for the day:

- Some Lip Tattoo 4 Ruby Red $8
- Some Lip Tattoo 5 Gel Cleanser  $8
- Real Like Innateline Eyebrow (Dark Brown) $10

Upon my purchase, I also became their member and I could buy these products online next time too.


Real Like Innateline Eyebrow (Dark Brown)

What I like about this eyebrow pencil is how the tip is shaped. Unlike normal eyebrow pencil, it has already got the correct shape. The style of Korean eyebrow is really very different compared to the Western style. The Western style is more defined and arched while the Korean brow is more natural and soft, which gives a more feminine feel. 


SOME LIP TATTOO 

I had a hard time deciding which colour to buy for the Lip Tattoo. I don't want to buy two since I don't put on make-up that often and I also need to test if I'm allergy to it. In the end, I choose the brighter one which is Ruby Red. 


Here's a before and after applying the Lip-Tattoo look. But it doesn't end here. 

After the lip-tattoo dry up, I need to peel off the top layer, the final colour looks more natural and last longer as it won't stain on anything. When applying, I felt a tight feeling on my lips, probably because of the drying up of the top layer. I put it on the whole day and I'm glad that my lips didn't have any allergy effect for this product. 


Now comes the removing part. They told me that this lip tattoo cannot be removed by the normal make-up remover. So we have to use their Some Tattoo Cleanser. It has got a scrub effect and helps to remove the colour completely. 


The samples that we gotten. Thank you! I will continue to hunt for other interesting products for sharing!
