Snactiv – The Snacking Tool
I backed Snactiv on Kickstarter in April 2020 at the Super Early Bird tier for US$18. Despite ongoing COVID, it shipped roughly on time. Snactiv is a clever fusion of tongs and chopsticks for snacking.
Food & Drink
Food and drink, from snacks and instant ramen to coffee gear and cooking gadgets.
UHA Mikakuto Croquette Snack
I discovered the UHA Mikakuto Croquette Snack while shopping at Don Quijote on a Tokyo trip. With tax-free shopping it's about S$1.70 a pack. I loved it enough to bring back 50 packets, filling half my luggage.
Ichiran Instant Noodle/Ramen
Ichiran is a famous Japanese tonkotsu ramen chain, with 24-hour branches across Japan, Hong Kong, the US, and Taiwan, dating to a 1960 Fukuoka stall. I'm hoping they reach Singapore soon; for now, there's this instant version.
Cafflano Klassic
The Cafflano Klassic failed its first 2014 Kickstarter but succeeded on a 2015 relaunch, raising £31,524 from 658 backers. Made in South Korea, it's a portable all-in-one coffee maker, packing a grinder, dripper, and tumbler into one unit.
Anova Precision Cooker (Bluetooth + Wi-Fi)
The Anova Precision Cooker began as a Kickstarter, raising US$1.8 million from 10,508 backers and shipping in October 2014. This sous-vide cooker comes in two versions: Bluetooth at S$219 and Bluetooth + Wi-Fi at S$289 for remote control.
Tiger Beer Limited Editon SG50 Can & Bottle
Back in April 2015, Tiger Beer released its Limited Edition 1965 Vintage Can and Bottle for Singapore's SG50 celebration. Now, again for SG50, Tiger sheds its blue-and-silver look for the national red and white across its cans, pints, and bottles.
Personalized Coca-Cola (Coke) Can #ShareaCokeSG
I got my personalised Coke can from Coca-Cola Singapore's Share a Coke (#ShareaCokeSG) campaign. The world-famous campaign has reached Singapore, and for the first time here, cans and bottles carry nicknames and phrases in place of the iconic Coca-Cola logo.
Tiger Beer Limited Edition 1965 Vintage Can & Bottle
Tiger Beer's new campaign, the 'Unofficial Official History of Singapore', is inspired by Tiger's first can in 1965, the year Singapore gained independence. It encourages Singaporeans to pause and look afresh at themselves.
Cadbury Glow – Premium Chocolate Gifting
Cadbury Glow is positioned as a premium chocolate gift, akin to Ferrero Rocher. Each praline is crafted in Europe, with a milk chocolate outer layer and a dark chocolate filling. Its inspiration came from the glow moment of happiness.
Plaza Singapura 40th Anniversary
Plaza Singapura, built in 1974 by BEP Akitek and renovated in 2002 and 2012, marks its 40th anniversary this year. To celebrate, it has partnered with Cold Storage, its anchor tenant, on an epicurean event called Flavours of the World.
In-N-Out Burger Coming To Singapore?
I saw on @lupcheong's tweet that In-N-Out Burger might be coming to Singapore. The advertised event could be a tasting session or a trial of local response, and I'm hoping they make it. I had my first In-N-Out in California.
Nespresso Pixie
I've joined the dark side with the Nespresso Pixie in Electric Red. It retails for S$398, but a friend at Nestle got me staff price. Made in Switzerland, not China, it has a handle and includes 16 capsules.
Todai Singapore
Todai Singapore opened on 18th February 2011 at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, near the Marina Bay Financial Centre. The huge 1,300-square-metre space seats over 400, with four private rooms and more than a hundred employees.
Glico Chinese New Year & Valentine’s Day 2010 Gift Packs
Li Xiang designed these gift packs during her internship at my mom's office, and they're now on sale at Watsons, NTUC, Prime Mart and mini-marts. The Glico Pocky Chinese New Year pack retails at S$10 with five boxes inside.
Glico Christmas 2009 Products
Looking for the perfect Christmas gift? My mom's company, one of two official Glico agents in Singapore, is importing special Glico products from Japan. The Giant Rainbow Pocky retails at S$7.90, with a Giant Chocolate collection too.
Sushi Tei’s 15th Year Anniversary Menu
Sushi Tei celebrates its 15th birthday this September, giving back to the community with a special Anniversary Menu of five items. One hundred percent of the net sales proceeds from that menu will be donated to its adopted charities.
Best Ramen In Singapore?
We've been on a ramen frenzy lately. Li Xiang has blogged, with photos, about the supposed three best ramen in Singapore: Marutama Ramen at Liang Court, Sapporo Ramen Miharu at Gallery Hotel and Ramen Santouka at The Central.
LiXiang Home Cooked Supper
I've been staying in school late since last week, rushing my CS3216 project. I'm so sick of Facebook programming, especially the ten-second wait each time I change something. Facebook should offer an offline mode we can deploy locally.
McDonalds McGriddles Breakfast
I didn't realise McDonald's has a new breakfast item, McGriddles, essentially a Sausage McMuffin with the muffin swapped for hotcake. The bread is a touch too sweet for my liking, though it grew on me a little.
McDonald’s Strange Menu Around the World
Trifter wrote an article on McDonald's menus around the world, so some of you may have read it. After reading, I find Singapore's McDonald's menu rather lousy by comparison. Does anyone know about the McNuggets curry sauce?
Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar
After weeks of never-ending tutorials, assignments and projects, Li Xiang and I took a break to reward ourselves with good food. We tried Shokudo Japanese Food Bazaar in the basement of Raffles City, a $3-million Japanese-style marche restaurant.
Pocky Chocolate/Strawberry
This isn't an advert; it's my mom's company. I'm using my traffic to help search engines crawl First Food Industries Pte Ltd. For the record, my mom is one of two agents distributing Glico products in Singapore.
