The Lunar New Year is fast approaching and if you are scrambling to straighten your plans and prepare for the festive season, you should consider getting the #cnygoodies from ONE°15 Marina because they taste really good and is perfect for gifting!

No Chinese New Year celebration is complete without the quintessential cookies and snacks and ONE°15 Marina has added modern touches to traditional favourites to give them a unique taste.

ONE°15 Marina’s traditional all-time favourite Organic Pineapple Rolls is both savoury and sweet in taste. With generous flakes of Himalayan pink salt sprinkled on, the Organic Pineapple Rolls is a treat for folks who enjoys a good time at the cinema with their sweet and salted popcorns mixed together.

The selection by ONE°15 Marina also includes a limited edition spicy Hei Bee Hiam Pineapple Tarts, which features crusty pastry made with luxurious Elle & Vire butter from France and topped with organic pineapple paste flavoured with bird’s eye chilli and dried shrimps. Among the three treats, the spicy Hei Bee Hiam Pineapple Tarts is my personal favourite and it has an Assam-like taste. Although it says spicy Hei Bee Hiam, I honestly do not think it is spicy at all. With a unique combination of sweet, spicy, sour, and sweet tastes; the spicy Hei Bee Hiam Pineapple Tarts tops my list.

A European take on Chinese New Year snacks, the Parmigiano Reggiano Cookies is made with premium French butter and 24-month aged Italian Parmigiano Reggiano cheese that gives it a rich, sharp and nutty flavour. I personally found the Parmigiano Reggiano Cookies super cheesy and it has a very distinct flavour which cheese connoisseurs will appreciate. With a crunchy bite, the Parmigiano Reggiano Cookies has a balanced savoury and sweet taste and is a treat to behold.

If you are not able to decide which of the three to get, you can order The Auspicious Trio, which is a bundle of all three cookies including the Organic Pineapple Rolls, spicy Hei Bee Hiam Pineapple Tarts, and 24-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano Cookies at just SGD$78+. But if you plan to just get one, I highly recommend the spicy Hei Bee Hiam Pineapple Tarts which costs just SGD$28.80!

So much has happened this week that we haven’t been able to blog much. Nevertheless, here is just an update as to what we have been up to!
In the earlier part of this week, we caught the movie, Hansel & Gretel 3D [courtesy of Club UIP] and it was indeed an awesome movie. Do check out our review about the movie at the following link: https://awinsomelife.org/2013/01/22/hansel-gretel-witch-hunters-3d-2013-movie-review/

On a separate note, our current giveaway of 1 Set of 5 Sticky Ties to 5 Lucky Winners will be ending today and after which, we will be announcing the winners shortly.

Anyways, Chinese New Year is just 14 days away and Valentine’s Day is 4 days after Chinese New Year! What a busy month of February it is going to be indeed! Have all of you bought your “New Year” clothing and thought about what to get for your other half on Valentine’s Day yet?

When we were looking at the “New Year” Goodies that were being sold at the various Bakeries and Stores, we were rather appalled that the prices were so unreasonably high! When we went across the Causeway to Johor Bahru, the “New Year” Goodies were priced somewhat similar to Singapore’s pricing but if you take the currency exchange rate into consideration, you are literally getting them at half the price. So, if you’re looking for a less expensive alternative to Singapore’s “New Year” Goodies, why not head over to Johor Bahru and get them because they are less expensive. If you’re heading over to Johor Bahru, we will strongly recommend you to get the “New Year” Goodies from Lavender. They have a wide range of “New Year” Goodies and their “New Year” Goodies are really awesome. Just look out for their booth at the Main Atrium of City Square.

As for Valentine’s Day, there’s a lot of things you can do with your other half. Well, some activities for Valentine’s Day could be spending time together by staying at home and cooking/baking together, going out to shop together, catching a movie together, having a romantic dinner together, and taking a stroll along East Coast Park or Gardens By The Bay. You don’t really need to spend a lot in order to achieve the objectives of spending a meaningful time together.

On a separate note, the Punggol East By-Election that took place yesterday ended victoriously for the Worker’s Party [WP] and we wish Lee Li Lian all the best in her role as an elected MP. As for the People’s Action Party, the tide is changing for them and there is definitely much work to be done on the ground if they want to win the hearts of the people. Seriously, there needs to be a review in the prices for Housing, COE, Healthcare, Transportation and Education. If these essential infrastructures are already cracking, surly there ought to be repair works and if these cracks are still not rectified, then I suppose we will most likely be able to predict the results of the next General Election [GE]. If the current infrastructure can’t even support Singapore’s current population of 5 million, wouldn’t a population of 7 million people make it worse?

Oh wells, we shall talk more about these issues in our upcoming blog entries.

Stay tuned to more updates from us!

God bless!
