Mrupupup joined in the ASUS ZenFestival 2015 Singapore event with ASUS celebrity endorser, Michelle Chong, the actress from "Noose" TV show, and experienced the beauty and power of the new launched ASUS ZenFone smartphones! One of the highlight of this event was the hands-on experience with ZenFone Selfie (new phone launch), their latest ZenFone with 13MP dual cameras, best for selfies and wefies. Tried out the Asus smartphones in the ASUS launch event. As I also used Asus product, so I might be biased in my thoughts, Mrupupup felt that the ASUS smartphone offers value for money (not too expensive) as compared to other brands and performance of the products were comparable with the best smartphone brands in the world. Check out the pictures from the ASUS Zen Festival which was held recently in Chijmes Hall, Victoria Street, Singapore.

Mrupupup had a nice time at District 10 Bar & Grill at Suntec City Tower 2 Singapore (near to the taxi stand at the ground floor). District 10 serves great food at decent prices. Mrupupup tasted a variety of wines from the Italian Zonin Wines - red wine, white wine and dessert wines. Mrupupup loved the slowly roasted beef and is their signature dish. The beef was awesome and so juicy. Apparently, the special beef sat in an aeroplane, exported to Singapore, placed in a fridge (imported from Italy at the cost of $22,000!) and dry aged. Very nice beef! The Italian chef also prepared for the group a special pasta with duck meat. Very refined food with excellent Italian touches. Reminded me of Mrupupup's recent trip to Italy. The dessert served was also excellent. The berry tart dessert was served with generous portions of gold on top of the berry tart. Enjoyed the wines during the night. District 10 Grill & Bar is a cosy place. Mrupupup loved the one thing for the nig
