Coocci Contemporary Japanese

Hidden inside Commonwealth Crescent Market is this stall...

 Coocci Contemporary Japanese

Most of the dishes were sold out by the time we reached at 2pm as it was a weekend. Dishes like the Smoked Chicken Set and Chicken Roulade (noodle soup). I really want to go back to try those because it's their best sellers!

So here are some of the dishes we ordered...


Tori Nanban. Chicken with tartar sauce. The chicken was crispy outside, moist and juicy inside! So well-cooked!


Tortellini Chicken. It does look like won tons but when Sophia and I had our first bite....WE WENT O.O! Super tasty.

I forgot what this is called. Lol. Anyway you have to mix the egg, kim chi and minced meat together with the rice underneath. It was served piping hot on a stone bowl. Super good. It's really good!

Tori-Kare Udon. This was the only dish that didn't impress me. In fact, i was disappointed cus the udon noodles were not chewy at all. The noodles were boiled in water for too long i guess.


We paid $21 for 4 dishes! So it's around $7/dish? CRAZY CHEAP FOR THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD MAN.

While eating and enjoying the food, i kinda forgot that we were at a hawker centre then got reminded when i began perspiring cus there's no air con. LOL. 

Anyway, it's like having restaurant food at hawker prices. MUST-GO!

BottomSlim

As a Blogger, i have a certain image to uphold. Being a girl who eats a lot, it's very important i keep a close eye to my body size to make sure i always look OK because when I look OK I feel good and more confident! Don’t you feel that way too? I don't really need to have a perfect body because having a perfect body means watching my diet and eating very healthily which is something i struggle to do because my love for food is crazy. So as you all know, i do exercise quite a bit to keep the weight off however i still face some problem areas.

My biggest problem area has got to be my thighs, the back of my thighs under my ass. It's like whatever i do, i just cant seem to get rid of fats there. When i jog regularly, i see the rest of my body get smaller and toner but it's just that particular stubborn area which is such a bitch! I've tried ALL KINDS OF EXERCISES on that area but nothing seems to be working. I think squats did help A LIL BIT but still, it isn't even anywhere near how i wish it'll look. I've been patient, i gave it around 1 year + but still, not much improvement. The hardest area to tone are our inner thighs, butt and calves and even with a lot of exercise, it's still not easy to do so! Well, unless you have the time to do it EVERYDAY then yeah but if you don't have that kind of time, BottomSlim will help speed that process up tremendously.

Recently, i was given a chance to try out some treatments at BottomSlim. I've never EVER thought i'd ever visit a place like that however, i decided to give it a try because i've been trying so hard to get rid of fats there.

I visited the City Square Mall Outlet near Farrer Park MRT. If you think the location’s too inconvenient, no worries because they also have outlets at Ngee Ann City, Square 2, Parkway Parade, Nex and even Jurong East to cater to those in the west! It was a really nice place with many rooms and the place was quiet and comfortable. Upon arriving, I was warmly greeted by the friendly staff there and served a cup of hot tea while seated. While getting the treatment done, i actually fell asleep!

Many asian girls face having a heavier bottom due to sitting down for too long hours. And there are also some girls who face cellulite, stretch marks even when they are stick thin! Such problems are really difficult to get rid of on your own but with the help of professionals, it can be gone! What’s more, Bottomslim is definitely a solution for those who want to maintain their figures yet find it difficult to inculcate exercise habits amongst their daily schedules!

Bottomslim is the pioneer in Singapore in Lower Body Sliming so yes, i am so thankful i went for my 1st treatment there. They specialize in areas such as the tummy, hip, thighs, calves, buttocks and the bane of every girl – cellulite and stretch marks! Their signature treatment is the Signature Tummy, Hip and Thighs Trimmer Treatments.

Yvonne, the specialist, first went through a detailed lower body analysis to understand my daily lifestyle and habits better, followed by going through a lower body assessment before recommending the treatments for my thighs and explained to me how it works and how it will help to make my thighs toned and slimmer. She was really patient and knowledgeable about what she was doing and I was really HAPPY to know that there’s finally a solution to my frustration all these while!

Getting my treatment done! I think this was supposed to hurt because she kept asking if i was okay or not....lol! It felt like someone was giving me a deep tissue massage – pain but feels kinda good pain yknow? HAHAHA. But it was also reassuring to hear my therapist constantly checking my comfort level, made me feel really at ease. I hope you girls would feel the same when you get this treatment done. It was to help break down the stubborn fats and "soften" it so when i exercise or whatsoever it'll go away easier.

Then they also did an infrared mask for me to repair the skin and get rid of cellulites and etc!

The results? I’m pleasantly surprised to notice results even though it’s my first treatment! My thighs feel more toned and less flabby which makes all the pain worth it! Definitely going to visit them again for more visible results in my thighs. You girls should try it out too and you’ll know what I mean!

Loreal Hydra Fresh


I travel a lot, like every 2 weeks and the countries I travel to for work are very polluted. The air is so dirty and it always ruins my skin!

Not to mention, I sleep in an air-conditioned room every single day so my skin is pretty dry already.

I suffered outbreaks MANY TIMES because I don't have time to look after my skin or rather, didn't have time to purchase proper products to apply to keep my face moisturized.

I am thankful Loreal decided to sponsor me a range of moisturizing products which really worked wonders on my dry skin.


You can get it with the help of the new Loreal Hydra Fresh Range!

Want to know how you can get Watery-Bouncy Skin that Glows?

Hydra Fresh is infused with miraculous French Grape Seed extract. Grape Seed extract gives 50X more anti-oxidant power than Vitamin E, and is also known as the “skin vitamin” that is effective in stimulating collagen production, improving skin elasticity and brightness, and maintaining soft and smooth skin.




Combining this together with Double Hyaluronic Acid and French Spa water, the new Hydra Fresh gives skin all-day long-lasting hydration.

For skin that’s delightfully plump and translucent like a grape! All you need is 4 of the Hydra Fresh products and they are all very affordable!

Here are more information on the new Loreal Hydra Fresh products.

[CLEASER]
Hydra Fresh Hydrating Refreshing Creamy Foam, 125ml ($12.90)

 photo SAM_9849.jpg

I love how it's creamy and bubbly. My skin feels very clean after and it doesn't feel tight like it's being ripped out of all the moisture. It hydrates and nourishes while removing make up, oil and dirt.

[TONER]
Hydra Fresh Hydrating Softening Spa Water, 175ml ($19.90)

When i first squeeze it out on my palms it's like a clear gel-like formula

 photo SAM_9900.jpg
....but after rubbing it breaks into a light, refreshing watery texture.

Originated from the French Vosges Mountain, this Spa Water is packed with 16 minerals to strengthen skin’s moisture barrier function. What’s more, it softens skin and helps maintain its natural balance.

[3 IN 1 LOTION] *ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE*
Hydra Fresh Hydration + Antiox Active Mask-In Lotion, 175ml ($22.90)

 photo SAM_9888.jpg

Allow your skin to quench its thirst with this smooth and juicy mask-grade hydrating lotion that has been infused with the finest French Grapes from the vineyards of Languedoc-Roussillon.
This 3-IN-1 lotion can be used as a toner, essence or mask. As light as a lotion, intense as a mask, it boosts your skin’s hydration in just 10 second without feeling the slightest bit greasy.

This is MY FAVOURITE PRODUCT. It is like using a mask every day!

This is a 3-in-1 Lotion - use it as a toner, essence, or mask!

I'm sure we all know how to use it as a toner but here are 2 other ways to use this product.


How to use this as an Essence?
 photo SAM_9902.jpg
1. Pour mask-in lotion (approximately 20cents-sized) onto palm.
 photo SAM_9910.jpg
2. Using your fingers, press lotion into face gently.



How to use this as a Mask?

You can apply a thick layer and leave it on like an overnight mask or you can try this method I like a lot for more intense hydration...

Soak cotton pad with Lotion.

 photo SAM_9923.jpg
Separate the cotton pad into 2.

 photo SAM_9929.jpg
And place the cotton pads all over your face!

Alternatively, you can buy those dry sheet masks and soak them with this product!

I usually leave it on for 10 min or so.

[MOISTURISER]
Hydra Fresh Hydration + Antiox Active Supreme Emulsion, 50ml ($25.90)

 photo SAM_9893.jpg

Refreshing as water, light as a lotion, rich as a moisturizer. Unlike the conventional water-in-oil creamy moisturisers, this unique oil-in- water formulation has an amazingly light texture that deeply penetrates the skin for intense hydration with no greasy residue.

 photo SAM_9963.jpg


I like how this range feels so light on my skin and it is easily absorbed! Plus the smell is so nice!



The new Hydra Fresh range will be available from Mid-September 2013 onwards at leading retailers including Watsons, Guardian, SASA, selected Department stores, major supermarkets and hypermarkets.

Bak Kut Teh

It's something i eat all the time after clubbing nights because most Bak Kut Teh (chinese pork rib soup) places in SG open till late. But occasionally, i crave for it and have it in the afternoons too and recently, i've found my favorite place to have BKT!

I'm sure everyone knows or assumes the best BKT is at Founder Bak Kut Teh Balestier but i honestly feel this place i went to serves better BKT. A friend i went with agreed too.

I really like their pig stomach soup! Must order!
