Travelling back in 1920s - Today Cheongsam Experience in Taipei 天天旗袍體驗館

I was pretty skeptical of doing this as i believed that you need to be very slender to wear Cheongsam.

So How did i ended up doing this? I happen to try to convince mister to try Han fu (aka the period drama costume that we see on chinese dramas). It was rejected by him immediately. Somehow, he saw a collaboration with the hotel, he immediately booked the hotel stay with the Cheongsam experience.

He was so pleased with himself until i told him "I don't want to wear cheongsam!".

However, this Cheongsam experience turned out better than expected. The location is quite a favourable too!

It is within the vicinity of a Bopiliao historical block,Taiwan country education centre and Lung shan temple. All these buildings provided the perfect backdrop to the clothes that we wore.

I am a usual size L (asian) and the clothes i tried are L and XL. Ladies get to choose their fit and design first before the male. The male chinese robe (male version, paofu) has to match to the ladies costume. I appreciate this gesture as ladies are usually the more particular one.

I would definitely recommend to try this place with your significant other. Make up and hairdo can also be provided at additional cost. Shoes, earrings and clothes are included. The white artist cap and the shawl are our own. All else is included in the package.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

I wanted to get weeks about it I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function. I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp. Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven. Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went). I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Banquet -Parkroyal beach road (Wedding dinner review)

I attended a wedding in October 2013 at the Parkroyal beach road. Boy! I was in for a surprise. The hotel is newly renovated and refurbished to a very corporate and clean polished look. There is a huge area for reception. Even the exterior area is also revamped (i didn't manage to get pictures for outdoors). You can hold your ROM outdoors and have decorated to an outdoor garden setting. Yes the outdoor area is that huge! This place has changed so dramatically. By comparison, a banquet held at the same location in 2010, see review here . There is alot more room since the wedding i attended is no longer at the other ballroom. The ceilings of the ballroom are tall, creating an illusion of space and comfort.See the ballroom with the backdrop. The photo below is where the bride and the groom walks down the aisle from the back. You are guaranteed a long long walk down the aisle. Romantic backdrop for the stage in romantic flowers display. Interestingly the cham...
