Fat Freeze with Sylvia Skin Atelier




BURN ALL THE FATS! BURNNNNN 


Oops wrong! I got them frozen ! Thank you Sylvia Skin Atelier for the treat. When I was asked to chose from the facial, bust enhancement and the fat freeze, I immediately agreed to have a Fat Freeze session with them! The reason behind was that I was looking for a solution for my tummy and my face wasn't that bad so I thought Fat Freeze was a good choice. 


Anyway, disclaimer first! I would be sharing more on my experience and thoughts and how it was done rather than how effective it is. If I were to say I slimmed down in just one session, I would be a freaking liar and it takes two weeks to see the results while I'm only at my first week after the session. 

How does it works? 


Based on my session, I was first asked by the beautician which part of my body I would like to do the freeze on. Then, the beautician will take a look and have you lie down on the beauty bed. For me, I chose the fattest part of my tummy ( nearer to the womb) for the treatment. The beautician then put a membrane over my tummy. It was to protect my skin as the temperature will hit down to zero degree. The treatment is one hour long and you can do anything you can think of while lying down. 

What happens next ?


The machine will then suck up the fats and you get to choose to your comfort level. This part is important because you better let your beautician know if you feel uncomfortable cause it's gonna be an hour long! 

Now we can start the machine for Fat Freeze ! 


For the first three minutes, it will be a warm sensation after which the temperature would drops till it reaches zero degree Celsius. During that hour, the machine will suck in and release your fats and it repeats. Sees why you need to choose your comfort level properly ? 

I was told that the machine together with the cool temperature would break down the fats, and then it will be flushed out of your body. My beautician told me to drink as much water as I can, dietary wise, you can eat normally. 
FREEZE ON FATS!
I was also told that it is recommended to have 8 hours of fat freeze on the same part with an interval of 14 days to achieve good results. And also, drink tons of water to flush out the fats. 


And that's all you have to know about Fat Freeze !




How I felt ?


Ermmm. I felt already ? The session was bearable and fuss-free. I like how I was told what will be happening and my beautician was able to answer my questions. For me, it hurt a little with the machine releases my flesh and my tummy just feel numb. It got well after a couple of hours. Through out the session, there were NO discomfort. Nothing much happened that. My beautician was very professional, she knows what she was doing and could give me good advices so I really appreciate that. 


What about the place? 

I also like the clean and modern set up of the place. Although this is a sponsored review, I am actually considering to pick up a 8 hour package myself to shed some fats. Getting there is really convenient too! They are located diagonally opposite 112 Katong, just above Awfully chocolate. Free shuttle bus services are available from Paya Lebar MRT Station too!

Sponsored : Best of Hawker Delights


TGIF all & it's time for Yum yum for the tum tum!

Get your salmon sashimi fix with Feast @ East Restaurant, Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel, this time with the local fare delights.  In conjunction with Singapore's 49th birthday, Feast @ East Restaurant offers a selection of local cuisine till 31st August.
 

The restaurant have five menu to rotate around and here is some of the favourites or dishes that left a stronger impression. It is my second time for its buffet so I try not to talk about the same things that I had already mention in the previous blog post for the restaurant. Read my previous entry HERE!




 
p/s : Pardon me for the not-so-good pictures, I'm trying my best already!

Black pepper crayfish & some chicken in thai sauce.

Dishes like  Herbal boiled prawns, Braised pork trottles, broccoli with baby abalone were also in the menu. What else do you want ? ermmm. Kong Poh frog leg?  steamed promfret fish ? ALSO HAVE. And I personally find it nostalgic, those were the dishes that we had during wedding dinners when we were young, isn't it.

There's how the action station looks like !
It still serves the signature laksa, but what is different from my previous trip was the the other dishes were replaced by mee siam, beef noodles and roti prata !
 There were also tu tu kueh station where you can choose either coconut or peanut fillings. It was my first time trying a tu-tu kueh. Yum!


Moving on to the desserts station!

Not sure if it is because the dessert station were really near to the entrance or what. I was drawn to the station when I entered the place and that day I was like,
"TODAY I WILL EAT THE DURIAN CAKE"



Angie recommends : A slice of the durian cake and a scoop of durian pengat. #bagus



Not just the westernised cakes we see in all the hipster cafes and ridiculous expensive restaurants, look what is on the dessert trays - traditional kuehs and what? PANDAN CAKE.


After all my dessert crave was 90% full, Gin & I found coconut ice cream!
So I was telling her we could have a feel of Chatuchak Market in Bangkok, cheap stake me took a scoop and added corn and grassjelly from the dessert station(for the ice kacang) and peanuts from the rojak station! Gin had atap seeds and durian pengat in her bowl. #bagusno.2

Totally the right way to end the dinner.

Sponsored : Enjoy Penang Food with Feast @ East Restaurant, Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel

Hello to the weekends ( since it's Friday already) and if you are fretting over the weekend's dinner, here's one good choice for you to reconsider. Thank you Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel for having me for a dinner treat last Monday and share with me about the great deal. Just in time to satisfy my misses for Georgetown, Penang.

 Vivian, me, Fenny, Joyce & Gin


The restaurant is within the Grand Mercury Hotel's premises, where the hotel sits directly opposite Parkway Parade Shopping Mall. It serves dishes locally and some from the neighboring countries. I'm sure this place would win the hearts of our senior friends and family members with its nostalgic decor and food. 
 The buffet restaurant has five stations in total, not that wide range of food you find in those international buffet places but good enough to bring back some good old memories from my childhood. I had a great time during the dinner as I make my own Ice Kacang and mixed my own rojak (so happy they have  green mango and guava). Vivian even managed to make brownie with ice cream for her desert. #enjoysia

3 picks from the Hot Selection

 Left to Right : Steamed Beancurd with Oyster Sauce, Chili Crab, Baked Chicken with Trio Sauce
My favourite prawns and mussels, and Fenny's Salmon. 
( Now you know where you can whack all the salmon sashimi, don't tell anyone)

 Action Station

 Penang Kway Teow, Laksa, Assam Laksa, Prawn Noodle.

My mum cooks assam laksa at home as and when she likes, so I am really picky about the ones in Singapore. I would say, the assam laksa here is the best in Singapore. My second favourite among the four would be the Kway Teow. My materal family resides in Malaysia , two hours ride away from Penang so you can say I eat alot of Penang food while growing up.

 Gado Gado!

 Happiness is when I had to eat gado gado with my friends and talk about life. 
Here's the ingredients I've chose for my Gado Gado, of course there are other ingredients like the egg that I do not take.


 & Here I have my first serving!

psst.. they have really tasty Yam Rice (from the Hot Selection)

Desert Station

The desert station nearly blew my mind, look at that rainbow kueh(s)!!! 
* flash back memories of my grandma bringing me to the market to buy the kuehs for breakfast * 
(Favourite of all)

I felt that it was really special as I never seen penarakan kuehs on buffet tables before, and they are really yummy! 

That's just Part 1.

Moving on we have the ever thick yummy Durian Paste that will taste heavenly with puffs. By the time we wanted to have deserts, the durian cake was gone.G O N E. It must be good huh.

Not just that, I got to play with the ice shaving machine to make my ice kacang with all the ingredients I like. I had so much fun, I took a video via instagram.

Durian Cake, Durian Paste, Fresh fruits, sweet corn, Ice Kacang on the desert station.


Tell me, when was the last time you see rambutans ?
