PartyDiva.Co is a collaborative E-commerce and marketplace for gifting and party planning that connects and provides customers and vendors a seamless experience for any celebration on a single platform.

Isn’t this such a DREAM??? I created a soft #glamping theme as the backdrop for our dinner party out on our patio, with the soft golden hour sun - and once PartyDiva.Co arrived with the food and items, everyone was suitably impressed with the whole setup plus party themed items from PartyDiva.co too!

I love how PartyDiva.Co included these CUTE cake/food toppers with popular local slangs like “Jalan, Jalan” and “Jiak Kuang Tang” that I added to my mini buffet from Amici Catering!

I’m usually afraid to waste food coz my family is rather small (Total 7 pax plus in-laws and my dad) so this mini gourmet 5-course National Day buffet is the perfect portion for us! AMICI’s Catering’s Mini Gourmet Buffet ($108+) serves 5-7 people and includes 5 dishes (1 main + 4 sides) from a wide selection of up to 15 dishes to choose from. Plus, it also comes with a complimentary 6” Raspberry Lychee Rose Cake to end the meal on a sweet note!

The other highlight on my food menu is definitely the limited edition 8-inch Nasi Lemak Cake with ingredients to represent our ethnic groups - Sambal Goreng Tempeh Anchovies Peanuts in Kicap Manis (Malay), Papadum (Indian), Fried Shrimp Paste (Chinese) and Blue Pea Rice (Peranakan)! How INNOVATIVE is that! The blooming tea from Petale Tea in heat-resistant tea glasses also added a dreamy touch to the set up because you can actually witness the flower bloom before you enjoy the beautiful cup of tea packed with a slew of health and beauty benefits!

This limited edition Nasi Lemak Cake from Nasi Lemak Indulgence really blew us all away! Everyone was commenting how it was a different tasteful experience and how meaningful each ingredient was as they represents the different ethnic groups. (I’m part Peranakan, btw!) 😆

My kids absolutely LOVED it and attacked (read : ate all) the cutest red and white kuehs that symbolizes the Singapore FLAG! How talented is my friend #bossbabe Elizabeth - each traditional handmade kueh platter ($37.50) comprises of mini png kuehs (rice cake), kueh lapis and even these perfect little Merlion ang ku kuehs (with grated coconut fillings)! 😍

We also had these special Nana Sling cocktails in gorgeous glass bottles from Three Wisemen and lemme also just say .. these drinks were preeeetty potent. 😝 Nana Sling is a seasonal Summer cocktail that requires 5 days to make. An unmistakably tropical concoction, this drink is a heady mix of lemon juice, homemade blossom water, pomegranate syrup and Brugal Rum-infused bananas, all combined with the intense orange flavour from shots of Cointreau.

The party ended perfectly with Amici Catering’s complimentary Lychee Rose Cake! PS the cake is super NICE with a fragrance of rose and lychee bits, everyone had seconds!

Ho, ho, ho! HAPPY 55th Birthday to the best country (to me!) ever! I love you Singapore! #SG55

Thank you Singapore for being a lovely place to live in where my friends and family are. You’re not perfect of coz - but I’m thankful and proud to call myself a Singaporean. 😚

Majulah, Singapura!

On days when we are desperately craving for crabs - its great to know that 8Crabs provides freshly cooked Sri Lankan crabs within an hour! Look at my spread! 😋

We chose to have Chili Crabs this time round because what’s more yummier than dipping freshly fried mantou into a sea of thick chili crab sauce? The boys swooped on the mantou immediately the moment the delivery arrived!

8crabs is the only seafood import wholesale and crab delivery service in Singapore using grade AAA premium Sri Lankan sourced wild crabs. Prepared by 5 star chefs, the gravy was a good mix of spiciness, sweetness and rich with beaten egg! They also strictly do not cook dead crab (eeks, i know some places do! 😓) and all food are cooked from the time you order! 👏

Golden mantou

The boys enjoyed their hor fun, with the gravy and fresh prawns ~ this serving was pretty big for my family too!

The Sambal Kang Kong was crunchy, but I would prefer it with a slightly more sambal balachan spice if possible coz I’m a huge chili fan

I enjoyed the Claypot Beancurd! The mix of vegetables and beancurd was perfect over steaming rice too!

Sweet and sour pork was a crowd favorite! It was still warm when it arrived and juicy inside.

All in all I felt that the meal was pretty value for money (Around $150) considering how huge and fresh our Sri Lankan crab was. The meat came off easily without sticking to the shell - and that to me is a testament of how fresh their crabs are. The best part was also how speedy the delivery was (we ordered a few days in advance though) coz the food was still piping hot when it came. I would love to try the Salted Egg crab next with fried rice perhaps!

Kids fave!

Look how huge the crab claw was! Which is your favorite part of a crab?

For orders, head over to https://8crabs.com/ and take a look at what they have to offer! Express 1 hour deliveries are at $18, but spend $120 for free delivery!

Thanks 8Crabs for the lovely meal!

*This is a food review, but all opinions are my own, as usual.

I love this outfit by Joop so much I think I can wear it over and over again! The off shoulder ribbed top accentuates my shoulders, while the pink (my favorite color!) skorts was a great buy during their recent warehouse sale!

At home now due to #circuitbreaker ... vs where I would rather be 👇 Somewhere in Paris shopping would be exceptional! (Without the dreaded Covid in the world!) Looking forward to blue skies and a rainbow after the rain soon. Chin up Sugar, you can do it. 💕

My gal friend Milly is one of my gal pals that I have known for yearssss and although she is so busy jetting between Singapore and China for business - we never fail to catch up whenever she’s in town. We can eat at the food court and talk for ages, or at a cafe sharing a piece of cake and we are totally comfortable with that! We can talk til the place is about to close and we still have 20634 things to talk about under the sun 💖

And yes if you find her name familiar, she is the brains behind the business Millys where i get all my gorgeous eyelash extensions and nails done. I never let anyone else do my lashes, because I love their Y-lash extensions and how their glue doesn’t sting my eyes at all! I have sensitive eyes so I would just keep to something that have been serving me well for so long! (yes i have extensions on for years - I cant live without them, really!) 

One of my favorite combo - seaweed tempura with a generous serving of uni! The salty taste of the sea from the uni is a perfect match with the fried seaweed and then if that’s not good enough, its topped with caviar and wasabi!

More, more more truffles please! I’m such a huge fan of truffles so i will always request for a truffles dish if its in season! (This is from the set menu though, so I’m so happy!)

The perfect ending to my meal and wonderful company - Truffles over uni and ikura rice #yummyinmybelly 😍

But of course the more important part of my meal is to be able to catch up with my lovely friend, who is beautiful inside and out ❤

“There is nothing better than a friend, unless its a friend with chocolates.”

Looking at these pictures brings me back to my lovely brunch at home .. although I would very much rather be sitting in The Capella, having delectable Roast Chicken by the beach side. Haha .. but still, this was a very much welcomed treat! Especially after all the home cooking during #CircuitBreaker season now! 😝

The Capella Singapore has specially curated a takeaway menu to brighten this tense period and each delectable set comes with an appetizer, main course and dessert. I chose the Roasted Chicken Set, and boy, it didn’t disappoint!

The Roasted Chicken was so juicy even though its a takeaway order 👍 Every course was packed in a biodegradable disposal takeout pack and kept warm in a thermal bag.

So basically I just had to open, plate and sit back and enjoy with a glass of wine! 😋

The fresh Mesclun green salad with balsamic dressing was refreshing and we shared the tomato soup (not really a fan of tomato soups though!) 😆 

I took seconds of the cheese roll but i added my own butter, yum!

Overall, we really enjoyed this delectable feast on a Sunday afternoon with the family! This portion serves 4, but our family of 4A2C found the portion adequate! Maybe we should have added a side portion of pasta like the Linguine Bolognese from the ala carte menu for the kids coz they are such carb lovers 😄 But all in all, the family had a fabulous time with the treat! Definitely a 5*star experience and food during this #circuitbreaker season ❤ I reckon this is the perfect feast for mummies this coming Mother’s Day to take a break from all the cooking! *hint hint to hubby* 😂😝

Thanks The Capella Singapore for the lovely indulgence!

*This is a food review, but all opinions are my own, as usual.

The kids were super EXCITED! We immediately went to check out the swimming pool and they started to tell me how they wanted to jump in the pool and swim NOW! 😂

Park Regis also has a dedicated business center with a meeting room, along with a gym and book corner. There is even a 24-hour self-service laundromat, making it super convenient for hotel guests to wash clothes during the stay! You know la, kids can be so unpredictable and can dirty their clothes anytime!

Let’s go check out the room!

With the Ultimate #sginsiders Staycation Package, the thoughtfully curated itinerary includes exclusive discounts to prominent establishments around the hotel’s vicinity such as Zouk, Holey Moley, Kenko Wellness and more! On top of that, it comes with an Art Jamming session which I was really stroked coz it was my first time trying it! 😍

Aww .. such a sweet touch from the Park Regis team! They prepared a really cute treat bag for my boys! 💙 Thank you for the thought! 

We stayed at the Regis Room, perfect for families - with a spacious layout, gorgeous bay window and a spectacular 180 degree view overlooking Clarke Quay. Let’s have some red wine to celebrate the start of our lovely staycay, hubby! 😇

I love how bright and airy the vanity area is! 

The Park Regis’s bay windows ARE MY FAVORITE part of the room! We lounged there for ages, refusing to move coz it was so comfortable and we just chilled out in the room looking at the pool!

Okies .. time for room service 😆

I love the convenience of ordering food and drinks to the room! Sometimes you just wanna laze and enjoy the room so room service enables us to fully chillax during the hotel stay! 

The boys watched some tv while Mummy enjoyed sparkling water and unpacks .. then suddenly a SURPRISE came!

YES IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY STAYCAY! Dun remind me about my age ... but it’s always sweet receiving flowers and the kids had a ball of time with the balloons!

Happy birthday to me 😊

The best part about this floral arrangement is the cash! 

Haha!

Dunno who happier, me or the boys 

Time to head down to check out the hotel!

With the Ultimate #Sginsiders Staycation Package, there are exclusive discounts with restaurants, cafes and activities such as golf and massages around the vicinity!

It’s a short walk across the road to Clarke Quay and we wanted to check it out as soon as we can.

But since we were all feeling a little hungry, we ordered some French fries at Park Regis’s Cafe Twenty3 - a contemporary cafe located at level one of the hotel.

French fries are always a hit with the kids!

The kids came across Park Regis’s Tree of Wishes, a Make-A-Wish campaign to fulfill the wishes of children battling critical illness to give them hope, strength and joy this festive season.

We made a small donation and my boys drew pictures while I wrote their messages of encouragement to hang on the tree. Such a lovely initiative!

Hubby and I cant wait to start our family staycay! 💝

With the Park Regis’s Ultimate #SGInsiders Staycay Package (CLICK HERE!) - guests get to enjoy free buffet breakfast, complimentary WiFi, free parking, 20% off food and beverages dine-in, plus more! Can’t wait to show you our yummy dinner at Taste by Tung Lok and our Art Jamming session in Day 2, but I’ll leave that for another day for Part II so stay tuned! 💫
