Review : InnisFree No Sebum Mint Mineral powder

InnisFree No Sebum Mint Mineral powder


Price : S$17.43



Formulated with sebum control powder, Jeju natural mineral and mint extracts. There is no parabens, artificial pigment, animal ingredients, mineral oil, artificial fragrances, talc. It smells good, not sure is it cause of the mint or the Jeju mineral.                                    

It claimed to replace oil control paper by making the skin soft and matte. The Jeju natural mineral will control the balance of the skin oil.

I have oily skin and the powder is able to keep my skin oil free for just a few hours. The instructions stated to use at the last stage of daily skincare routine or makeup, and pat it on the whole face or the oily area. But, if we are to use it at the last stage, the powder puff will be stained with the foundation. I use it before I apply my make up.
 

It makes a great eye primer though. I pat the powder puff on my eyes area before I apply my eyeliner and concealer. My eyeliner did not smudge for the whole day!

Review : Siam Jiak Mookata & Skewer

Located at Blk 107 Ang Mo Koo Ave 4, S(560107), Siam Jiak Mookata & Skewer started their operation recently. The stall is just beside Hong Ji Claypot Bak Ku Teh.

The mookata only have set for 2-3 pax ($26) or ala carte orders. No buffet.





For big eaters, I think the portion is not enough for 3 pax or even 2 pax. The set do not included beef nor bacon. Personally, I feel that the ala carte order is rather pricey for a heartlands coffee shop mookata.

The ingredients are fresh and the stall owners/helpers are very friendly though.

Review : Sankai Japanese Restaurant

Was drawn to the "all-you-can-eat Japanese Buffet" notice and decided to try it.




Opening hours: Opens from 1130am to 11pm 


Address: 1 Liang Seah St, Singapore 189022
Price: $29.80++ (lunch daily)
          $34.90++ (Sun to Thur Dinner)
          $37.90++ (Fri, Sat, eve of PH Dinner)





The ambience is warm and cozy. The restaurant is a little small though. It's best to go there during non-peak hours as they don't have enough servers to cope with the growing number of customers.





First dish: chawanmushi! There was shitake mushroom, spinach, and fish cake.





Sashimi salad. Kinda disappointing. a few pieces of sashimi and the lettuce were like, the unwanted parts?







Sashimi and appetizer platter. Salmon sashimi was ok; quite thick and sweet. The smoked duck was delicious and the meat was tender.







Grilled Salmon with salt and Shishamo. Normal, nothing much to wow about.







Salmon mentai aburi.
























Salmon sushi, prawn roe and spicy salmon. Quite disappointing that the prawn roe was not filled to the brim.


Soft shell crab handroll. Can't tell right? The soft shell crab was like, only 1/4 of the whole crab? Pathetic. :(


Chicken stewer. Not bad, the meat was tender and was lightly seasoned with teriyaki sauce.


Deep-fried selection: Breaded prawns, prawn tempura, Shishamo kara age and tako yaki.





Cold tofu.





Sashimi - Salmon, Hamachi, Tako, Sweet Prawns, and Seasoned Top Shell.





Chicken wing.





Sashimi - Tuna, lightly Seared Salmon, Cuttlefish.

The items are topped with 4 different seasonings. There is original, chinese spices (some sort of ma la spices), spiced salt (salt and pepper), teriyaki tare, and spicy miso kimchi. On the order list, there will be options that you can choose under each item. However, not all items can choose the type of seasoning to your preference.

I prefer the Spiced Salt and Teriyaki Tare. Both non-spicy and can bring out the flavours of the food.

The ranking of spiciness is : Spiced Salt, Teriyaki Tare, Chinese Spices then Spicy Miso Kimchi.
