A Mecca For Music Lovers – This Record Store On Ann Siang Hill Transforms Into A Bar At Night

With Spotify, YouTube and Apple Music, we have a world of music quite literally at our fingertips. But for old school audiophiles and aficionados of analog audio, there’s something so satisfying of about the experience of buying a vinyl record. There’s just something about slipping a shiny new record out of its sleeves, placing it on a turntable and gently dropping the needle.

Which is a far more elaborate process than just hitting “next” on Spotify.

Nestled within the quaint neighbourhood of Ann Siang Hill, White Label Records is a hip record store by day and transforms into a bar by night.

Make Vinyl Great Again

After five years of sharing their deep love for music and its most iconic recording format through the social e-commerce platform #vinyloftheday, founders Kurt Loy and Darren Tan took the plunge with the launch of their first brick-and-mortar venture.

Serving as a community space for music enthusiasts, White Label offers the perfect experience as one can relax and kick back over food and drinks, thumb through records, catch DJs and live acts, and meet other crate diggers.

Apart from stocking a current selection of records and highlights from various eras, White Label will feature a regularly rotating, curated selection of offerings from local and regional record stores so there’s always something new waiting for you each time you visit the store.

For hardcore analog audio enthusiasts, you can expect many special music-themed nights to follow as the founders will showcase vinyl records from their diverse personal collections. Who knows, if you like what you hear, they will be more than happy to help you track down a copy!

With warm-toned lighting illuminating the space, White Label provides a casual, laid back space and chill vibes from the moment you enter the store.

A record store by day, this space transforms into a bar by dusk, offering a rotating all day that features a selection of cold brews, mixed drinks, craft beers and bar bites. All beers and house pours are $10 nett.

White Label’s signature cocktails will include a Vodka-based fresh fruit Mojito, the White Label Iced Tea, a tea-based Long Island, as well as a Chrysanthemum vodka martini. A seasonal selection of handpicked single malts and gin, craft beers, boutique champagne and wines will also be available.

If you’re craving for a meal, limited lunch sets will be available at midday, on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Looking for a space to wind down after work? Get acquainted with the magic of analog music and head on to White Label Records to indulge in your love for all things vintage and crate dive for that limited edition gold clad Pink Floyd LP – or Taylor Swift’s Reputation, if that’s how you roll.

Chanel Is Painting The Town Red With Its New Le Rouge Beauty Pop-Up This October

Whether the holiday warrants formal social gatherings or a friends-only dim sum feast, there’s truly no better time to swipe on a crimson lipstick.

To many of us, red represents the colour of love and passion. But not to forget, red is also the colour of life for Gabrielle Chanel herself.

CHANEL presents LE ROUGE, that’s scheduled to open in Singapore from 17 – 21 October. This exclusive beauty pop-up will consist of three showrooms, each unveiling the creative process behind a particular product.

The House of CHANEL

In 1924, she turned an intense vermillion red into her first signature lipstick which was a symbol of courage and passion. What better way to pay homage to the brand’s iconic colour than a pop-up store dedicated to exploring red in a myriad of textures and forms.

In conjunction with the new Rouge Allure Velvet Extreme and Rouge Allure Liquid Power – the French fashion house will be launching its third pop-up concept in Singapore.

That being said, the LE ROUGE pop up will feature its very own Red Factory where you can expect an infinite array of lipstick and nail polishes. Beauty lovers can see and play around with the brand’s iconic red makeup and learn more about the process behind the creation of your favourite Chanel makeup.

Perfect for the gram, there are plenty of IG-worthy photo opportunities such as large industrial tanks filled with lipsticks, nail polishes in an acrylic red cage and a wall of lips that hides a passageway coloured in red.

Be one of the first few to discover and own the coveted red edition of  Chanel N°5  L’Eau and N°5 Eau De Parfum, which will be exclusively pre-launched at the pop-up. The iconic N°5 bottles will be swapping its usual clear flacon to a crimson hue. You definitely won’t want to miss out on this!

Guests are also treated to the sight of the Red Bar, reminiscent of a covert lounge. Spritz some of the limited red edition Chanel N°5 on yourself before sipping on a red cocktail specially concocted for this event.

So save the date and make sure to swing by CHANEL LE ROUGE pop-up store for an experience like never before. The pop-up will open to public from 17 – 21 October, so it’s best to register your attendance here to secure yourself a slot into the store.

McDonald’s Samurai Burger And Shaker Fries Returns To Macs On Oct 4 Along With A New Savoury Pie

A year ago, a treasure was taken away from us.

Back after a year long absence, the Samurai Burgers from McDonald’s will be available from 4th October onwards for a limited time only.

Accompanying these burgers on their return trip is an assortment of old and new sides like the Dinosaur McFlurry, a savoury pie and our favourite seaweed shaker fries that got a whole new upgrade!

They’re Back!

The Samurai Burger is among the cult favourites of McDonald’s fans in Singapore. 

If you’ve never had a Samurai Burger (why?!), you can expect to sink your teeth into a juicy quarter pound beef or chicken patty dipped in teriyaki sauce and lettuce sandwiched between sesame buns.

No words can possibly describe our love for the Samurai Burger and we’re just really glad it’s finally back in stores. Available from $6.10 a la carte, you better hurry and get your hands on the Samurai Burgers before they’re gone again.

If you’ve been craving for McDonald’s famous seaweed shaker fries, then you’ll be pleased to know that they got a whole new upgrade. The Roasted Sesame & Sesame Shaker Fries ($3.40 a la carte) is bound to be an addictive snack.

A couple of days ago, McDonald’s announced that they will be revealing their first ever savoury pie on the menu.

And they delivered. The all-new Creamy Herb Chicken Pie ($1.80), the first of its kind at McDonald’s, is a burst of creaminess that packs all the goodness of chicken, carrots, potatoes, peas and mushrooms.

It’s different from the usual McDonald’s pie as the exterior is a flakier spiral crust – think Old Chang Kee Chicken Mushroom’O curry puff.

Finally, end off your meal with the indulgent Dinosaur McFlurry ($3) which comes with a generous amount of Milo powder and cocoa puffs.

Mark your calendars, set your alarm clock and camp in front of McDonald’s because you’re about to indulge in one of McDonald’s best creations. All items are available after breakfast hours in all restaurants island-wide and via McDelivery from 4 October, while stocks last.

Subway, Your Way – Here Are 6 Menu Hacks To Take Your Sandwich To The Next Level

Subway is one of the world’s greatest treasures.

You can get a sandwich, salad, wraps and some of the best cookies in the world. Best part, you can customise your sandwiches if you’re a picky eater as well.

But after years of dining at Subway, you start to get a little bored of your usual Subway Melt^TM and Italian B.M.T.^TM and you start to wonder,

“What else can I order at Subway?”

So, we asked around the office for suggestions on how to change up your Subway orders to make it exciting again. Here’s what we found.

1. Supreme Pizza Hack

We all love a good slice of pizza every now and then but what if I tell you that you could have your favourite pizza in a sub?

If you love pizza as much as we do then you’ll love this crazy amazing combination.

Here’s what you should get to make your very own pizza-sandwich:

Parmesan Oregano/Flatbread + Chicken Ham + Pepperoni + Salami + Marinara Sauce + American or shredded cheese + Onion + Bell Peppers + Olives

Trust me, this will change your mind about Subway forever. Listen up, Subway, if you don’t sell this item, then you’re playing yourself.

2. Add Potato Chips To Your Sandwich

I was dining at Subway with a friend once and she tore open her bag of chips and proceeded to stuff them carefully into her sandwich.

I stared at her and she said,

“You try first. Trust me, it’s okay one.”

I did and my life has changed forever. It’s the same satisfaction you get when you dip your fries in ice cream. Adding chips to your sandwich gives it a whole new flavour.

You get that extra bit of crunch and saltiness which makes it all so good.

3. The Egg Mayo Special

Everyone LOVES their egg mayo sandwich. But you know what makes it better?

Bacon.

If you’re bored of the typical egg mayo order, then add 4 pieces of chicken bacon to it because it makes a whole new difference to your sandwich! It’s like enjoying a breakfast sandwich for lunch.

4. Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich

Who says your Subway sandwich cannot be “atas”?

You don’t need to be Gordon Ramsay to make yourself a Chicken Cordon Bleu Sandwich.

This is one of the fanciest chicken meals you can eat and now you can take fancy to a whole new level when your taste buds devour this ultimate feast.

Order this and you’ll get a yummy concoction with your choice of bread along with roasted chicken breast, chicken ham, tomatoes, olives, ranch sauce and cheese. Make sure you get your sandwich toasted for the full cordon bleu experience.

This sandwich is so good and cheap that its worthy of a Michelin Star.

5. Chicken Parmesan Sandwich

You really can’t go wrong with a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. Just like a Chicken Cordon Bleu sub, this sandwich is packed with chicken and marinara sauce.

When ordering this, just ask for a sandwich with roasted chicken breast, marinara sauce and cheese. If you want an extra special gooey goodness, ask them to toast it so your cheese is melted down and your bread has a lovely crunch to it.

Pro-tip: Get the shredded cheese.

Sounds delightful right?

6. The Meat Lover

Also known as “The Carnivore” by many Subway enthusiasts, this Subway secret menu sandwich piles on the meat.

What meat you ask? How about 4 slices of roast beef, 4 slices of chicken bacon and a handful of pepperoni.

Throw on all your other favourite toppings and you have a sandwich made for a hungry lumberjack.

So go on and forage my fellow Subway fans. Now that you know the different secret menus and hacks to up your Subway game, your meals will never be the same again.

Let us know if you have your own Subway hacks or secret menus that we missed out on!

What sets them apart from the other malls in JB is that this complex houses an indoor theme park as well as thematic floors inspired by 5 different continents.

Here’s what you can expect at Capital 21.

Travel The World In One Shopping Mall 

You don’t have to spend a bomb travelling the world when you can immerse yourself in 5 different continents all in one shopping mall.

From the elevation floor plan alone, you can see that it’s far from your typical shopping mall. Featuring America (Upper Ground), Europe (First Floor), Australia (Second Floor), Asia (Third Floor) and Middle East (Fourth Floor), each level is designed to look like its respective continent.

From bright Japanese lanterns to the Leaning Tower Of Pisa, here’s your chance to travel the world in one day!

Indoor Theme Park

Besides the exciting retail areas, the main highlight of this mall is probably their indoor theme park!

Occupying the third and fourth level of the mall will be MCM Studio, an indoor theme park that is divided into 3 main sections – Movie Planet, Cartoon Planet and Music Planet.

In Movie Planet, you can expect thrilling rides such as Transformers, Dinosaur World and even haunted houses. For families with young children, Cartoon Planet will showcase “kiddy attractions” such as Tom and Jerry as well as other animated characters.

For those who aren’t up for rides, Music Planet, will also showcase  a circus as well as musical and theatrical performances by “internationally renowned names” such as the Great British Circus.

Taiwan’s Famous ‘Tiger Sugar’ Bubble Tea Is Coming To The Lion City This November

As though we don’t already have enough bubble tea stores in Singapore, Taiwan’s famous bubble tea brand, Tiger Sugar, is coming to Singapore this November.

Those who have had a sip of this drink have claimed that the hype is very real, dubbing it as the most popular milk tea in Taipei.

Bubble Tea Craze

Taiwan is known to be a milk-tea crazed nation with stalls and shops lining the streets with some of their brands crossing over to our shores.

Since its opening late last year, Tiger Sugar has been getting all the hype from hard core milk tea lovers in Taipei. They got their name from the ‘tiger stripes’ it forms when the caramalised syrup mixes with the thick milk tea mixture.

Tiger Sugar will be opening their first flagship store in Singapore this November at City Hall. The exact date and location has not been revealed.

If you’re wondering whether you should hop on the bubble tea craze train, we can vouch for Tiger Sugar as people are willing to queue for up to an hour for the Tiger Sugar Boba Fresh Milk (NTD50/S$2.20~) in Taipei. The queues are always snaking long despite the abundance of bubble tea shops nearby.

Many have praised their Brown Sugar Fresh Milk for its undiluted taste, a mistake often made by most bubble tea stores who scrimp on flavour affecting the overall taste and experience of milk tea addicts.

Skip the flight to Taiwan because you can finally get Tiger Sugar’s famous Brown Sugar Fresh Milk right here in Singapore!

Hello Penda – These Flowers Are In Full Bloom And Painting S’pore Bright Yellow

Just 3 weeks ago, Trumpet Tree flowers decked our pavements and road dividers turning our island into a sea of pink.

As we approach a new month, Singapore is now taking on a bright shade of yellow as Golden Penda Trees have been spotted flowering around various parts of Singapore.

Bright Yellow Blooms

Also known by their scientific name, Xanthostemon chrysanthus, the bright yellow Golden Penda flowers frequently attract nectar-feeding birds and butterflies.

Great news for West siders as photos uploaded by NParks showed the flowers in full bloom mostly in areas such as Choa Chu Kang, Bukit Batok West and Jurong Lake Gardens.

https://www.facebook.com/nparksbuzz/posts/2009761209063345?__xts__[0]=68.ARDGANIcO43Vg8grzvIsKIrqkkBvm15Xo8avlP1Jn3TO-1cssFWWEBo2Duee8FFfsAuEzuMu94FjQtOEapUmuSW1yse-2JEbEpmbFX8VxXrZxifzqVnbgML-ZweCcmBJLH_I2tk8U2i9vj2joWDfE_76ouPb5aVokxHDYrBS00wgg6LvoD_D-Q&__tn__=-R

The trees are native to Australia and introduced to Singapore in 1982.

The Golden Penda flowers can be identified by their distinctive colours as they are bright yellow with five petals attached to the rim of a calyx.

[caption id="attachment_37578" align="aligncenter" width="1757"] Image Credit: NParks/ Tee Swee Ping[/caption]According to the NParks website, the flowering of these trees are believed to be induced by a sudden drop in temperature and can begin 2 – 3 years after they have been grown from seeds.

The next time you’re walking home, look out for these bright yellow flowers!

Long-Lost Malay Dish ‘Nasi Beringin’ Revived At Yishun: It Was Once Served To Royalty In The 1890s

One would typically associate Malay food with Nasi Lemak, Mee Rebus, Nasi Padang etc.

However growing up as a Malay in Singapore, most of us would probably have never heard of this Malay dish called Nasi Beringin.

This Malay dish was once sold in Singapore for a short period of time in the 1950s but gradually disappeared from the local Malay food scene.

Chef Fahmi Rahaman decided to revive this long lost Malay dish that was once served to the Johor Royalties in the late 1890s.

Reviving A Long Lost Dish

Introduced in the late 1890s, Nasi Beringin was first popularised within the compounds of the Johor Royalties. Sultan Sir Ibrahim, then the 2nd Sultan of Johor in the modern era, regularly had this dish in his feasts especially when guests were invited to dine in the palace.

Nasi Beringin, was also called the “Nasi Bering Harum” (Fragrant Beringin Rice), as the scent from the dish never fails to invigorate one’s palate.

Owner of Fifty50 Empire, Fahmi Rahaman who was an ex Assistant Head Chef with Timbre Group recently set up stall at Yishun Park Hawker Centre together with his partner, Khairul Afnan selling Nasi Beringin.

Nasi Beringin is served with traditional favourites such as the Ayam Kurma, Rendang, and Achar which combines all the sweet, sour, spicy and savoury elements into a harmonious unity within a plate.

At Fifty50 Empire, you are given a wide range of meat to choose from – Fried Chicken Wing (Signature), Fried Fish, Beef Rendang, Tiger Prawn, Fried Squid which comes in various portion size (lite, double, triple).

They also provide three different sauces – rendang, kurma and masak merah. The sauces are really unique as they were taught to him by his mother.

If you’re wondering how Nasi Beringin tastes like, its basically a cross between Nasi Lemak and Nasi Briyani. Fahmi uses short grain basmati rice that is cooked with a variety of spices and oil resulting in rice that’s temptingly fragrant. Delicate hints of cardamom, cloves, star anise and fenugreek can be discerned in the rice.

The prawns were definitely the star of the entIre dish. The prawns were fresh and battered to give it a slight crunch. We recommend pairing the Prawns with Masak Merah Sauce.

The chicken wing was as impressive as the prawns. Instead of coating the chicken in a thick batter, the wings are lightly coated with flour and his blend of spices before frying. This makes a lot of difference to the chicken as the batter won’t soak up the oil and this also keeps it crispy.

If you’re looking for a traditional way of eating Nasi Beringin, we highly recommend pairing the Chicken with Kurma Sauce which is made from coriander, cumin, coconut, curry and chili.

The Beef Rendang is another favourite of Fahmi’s. The beef was tender and tore apart easily. I also liked the fact that the rendang was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy.

Each plate of Nasi Beringin comes with sambal belacan for the extra kick, achar to cut the acidity of the dish as well as a crispy piece of papadum.

As compared to Malay dishes such as Nasi Lemak and Nasi Padang which can be pretty heavy as a lunch option, the Nasi Beringin did not leave me with a food coma.

If you’re ever in Yishun, and looking for a change from your typical Malay fare, you know where to go for a good meal.

[REVIEW] We Spent $5.90 On LiHo’s New Salted Egg Bubble Tea So You Don’t Have To

Will the salted egg yolk trend ever die out?

The short answer is: No, it won’t.

Just when we thought we’ve had enough of the Salted Egg trend, LiHo decided to surprise us with their latest creation during the CMYK Flea Market.

Introducing their latest bubble tea – Salted Egg Lava Brown Sugar Pearl Fresh Milk ($4.90/$5.90)

https://www.facebook.com/lihosg/photos/a.141429665902858/1913082468737560/?type=3&theater

We have salted egg crab, salted egg potato chips and heck even salted egg lava cake. Do we REALLY need salted egg in our bubble tea as well?

So the team headed out on this fine sunny afternoon to see if this drink was worth a try.

Let It Flow, Let It Flow

If you were there at the CMYK Flea Market over the past weekend, you might’ve seen long snaking queues in front of LiHo for their latest Salted Egg Bubble Tea.

It was initially advertised as a one-time thing at the CMYK Flea Market. However, we’re guessing the response on the day changed their mind as the drink is now available in three of their outlets: Bugis+, Vivo City and Suntec City.

First Thoughts

Upon reaching their outlet at Bugis+, I noticed that there was a queue forming at LiHo at 3pm on a Thursday.

As I watched them prepare my drink, I was impressed by the generous amount of salted egg that they poured into the drink. And in that moment, I knew this drink was going to be a complete sugar overload.

When the lady behind the counter handed over my drink, I couldn’t help but notice the slight judgement in her face as though she was secretly telling me, “You’re going to regret this.”

Of course, she smiled at me wearily and told me to “Enjoy!” – whatever that means.

First Sip

Now I was expecting a velvety, smooth drink but I was wrong.

Oh boy, I was so wrong.

Firstly, it was completely tough to drink it because the salted egg was thick, the pearls were clumped together and I could barely taste the milk. Instead of it all mixing together nicely, I was tasting three different elements instead.

Now, don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t terrible. The taste of the salted egg was great – reminds me of a freshly steamed liu sha bao. However the texture of the drink threw me off.

After getting the entire office to try this drink, no one liked it.

In fact, everyone was completely confused by the taste and texture. Some preferred if the drink was thicker and creamier whereas some just felt that Salted Egg and Bubble Tea should never be combined.

The drink was pretty jelak for us after 3 sips because it was just too sweet for our liking.

Honestly, if this drink came in a dessert form, we would’ve been all for it. Pour the salted egg sauce all over a pudding and we’ll gladly eat it.

If you were to ask us if we’d ever buy it again, sadly, it’s a no from us.

We love you salted egg, but perhaps you should just stay out of our bubble teas from now onwards.

If you do love salted egg, try it out and let us know what you think!
