A Visit to Quan Fa Organic Farm

So glad to bring the my entire clan to visit an Organic Farm in a quaint part of Singapore. On the way to the farm, the kids were like 'What?' 'Why?' 'No Aircon!' Typical City kids who never stayed in a kampong before. Anyway, it would be a good opportunity to expose them to the rural rustic side of Singapore.

It was not just an experiential journey for the kids, but also a sensory one too. Kids could smell, touch and understand the entire planting process.

Hmmm.......

 

Tasted the organic vegetables too. Never knew Lady's finger could be so crunchy and not slimey at all.

 

 No pesticides were used in Quan Fa Organic Farm. All insects were stuck onto this panel.

Quite tasty though

Freshly plucked Radish. So pretty

 

How could I not have a selfie with this Bouquet?

 

 JJ patiently explained the how the different vegetables were being grown organically

 My usual style

 

 Neatly lined crops

 

 Lovely bitter gourd!

 

 Lady's Fingers

 

 Couldn't help but had to snap and snap  #nofilter pictures

 

Eggplants!

 

Fertilizers; no faeces used. all fruits and vegetables only

 

Farmer hard at work

 

 Our mandatory group shot. Girls loving the experience. No complains even they were being 'attack' by guerrilla mozzies (after using multiple anti-mozzie stickers and spray).

 

 We totally enjoyed our Organic Farm Tour, kudos to JJ, who was so passionate about organic farming. It was like a tranquil retreat brimming with lush greenery. After the tour, we were treated to freshly prepared organic vegetables that left us craving for more.

 It was saddening to hear that this locally-owned organic farm would be gone by 2019 due to urban developments. Perhaps it is time for you to check out this secret sanctuary during the school holidays to experience or reminisce the good old kampong days. Do kindly contact Quan Fa Organic Farm for their various tour timings.

MT Aesthetic Vitamin C Facial By Bon Elements

MT Aesthetic Vitamin C Facial is the current leading Japanese brand and A Winner of Japan's Professional Cosmetics Award Grand Prize in 2014. 

Benefits of MT Vitamin C

• High 20% Vitamin C Concentration treatment
• Vitamin C-enriched treatment fight free radical that causes common skin problems
• Penetrates deep into the skin, promoting cell renewal and repair
• Alleviates skin dullness and unevenness
• Effectively tighten pores, diminish and repairs pores
• Nourishes skin, brightens, achieving a radiant and youthful skin

We started by a thorough cleansing on the face, followed by a relaxing shoulder massage using my favourite Lemongrass aromatherapy oil. The skilled masseur could actually feel the knots and tension in my muscles. She managed to push them out so I felt really relaxed and sleepy.....

We continued with a MT Phytic Peel which helped to exfoliate the dead skin, alleviates dullness and unevenness. 

Finally the MT Vitamin C Serum of 20% concentration was applied on my face, giving a brighter and radiant complexion before using Iontophoresis to smooth out the wrinkles/fine lines and tightens the skin. This will also increase the skin's capacity to absorb the nutrients better. 

See the mask on my face. 

As an ardent reader of mine, I hope you can also experience this amazing facial treatment. Rest assured you will be in good hands.

New Menu Launch by Gyu Kaku

Gyu-Kaku is known for its barbeque. In Japan itself, there are a total of 600 branches. In Singapore, they have 5 outlets at the moment. I was excited be part of the invited media to savour Gyu-Kaku's newly-revamped menu. 

Such a nice thought to give us apron. 

Exciting menu for the Media Tasting 

A starter to get your tastebuds aroused

35gm of top grade Kagoshima Wagyu Beef [$35]

See the marbling effect. Using charcoal only. No oil or other other seasoning was used. Pure natural goodness. 

Done! Ready! 

Oishi....

The King Kagoshima Wagyu [$41]

We had the honour to have the boss of Gyu-Kaku to demonstrate the bbq-ing of the King Wagyu!

Dip the Wagyu in fresh Wasabi. Oishi! 

Fire! Harubi

King Harami

The sides to eat with the beef.

So what is really so good about Japanese Wagyu? 

Most of the time in Singapore, we will have Australian Wagyu. Aussie Wagyu cows will not be kept in a shield, they will be running around. They will only eat grains. Hence less marbling, tougher meat texture.

Japanese Wagyu cows are kept in a shield, feed with high quality grains and even sake! So meat texture is tender and with lots of marbling.

Grapefruit Mojito

Yuzu Mojito! My favourite! 

Fresh Prawns. A refreshing option among the beefy dishes. 

Assorted Mushrooms. We need some to neutralise the meat. 

Somehow the meal was not completed without Garlic Rice.

Spicy Soup in Hot Stone. 

Special mention to this Wagyu Sushi. Quality beef with top grade fragrance Japanese rice. It was really sooo good. I could finish all up even though I already ate so much. Rice was not sticky, you could feel the grains. 

Sweet potatoes bbq with butter

Together with vanilla ice-cream. Indeed a heavenly combination. 

More desserts! Woo....

A picture with the 2 directors of Gyu-Kaku. Appreciate their kind invite to this awesome tasting. Really so full now. Arigato Gyu-Kaku.
