For this week, Creamier café and ice cream place made Mrupupup happy! Creamier served up one of the best handmade ice cream ever tasted in Mrupupup's life. Creamier is at a secret location in Toa Payoh. Just kidding, will share the location. Creamier is at 128 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh. Mrupupup tried out the handmade berries, orange vodka cranberry, chocolate and Horlicks flavour. Each flavour varies in price range from $3 to $3.40 per scoop and $5-$6 for two scoops. Mrupupup felt that the ice cream are of high quality using the freshest ingredients! Mrupupup tasted every single mouth full of ice cream and enjoyed every bit of it! Mrupupup loved the orange vodka cranberry flavour which had a light refreshing taste! Yummy! The place also had a nice decorative touch using many arts pieces. Do enjoy a day out in quiet solitude in Creamier with a single scoop of ice cream in hand. Nice!      

Mrupupup was invited to attend a 3M Post-It Focus Group Discussion on their new product to be launch in Singapore. After the focus group discussion, the kind people of 3M gave each participant so many Post It products. Mrupupup first time encountering so many Post-It products. The products range from Post-It in all sorts of designs, Post-It pens, Post-It Dispenser and many more! The goodie bag was estimated to be worth $150 of Post-It Products! Ok, Mrupupup does not need to visit the stationery shop for Post-Its for a long, long time. Thanks 3M Singapore! Love 3M Post-It!        

Old School Delights at Upper Thomson Road is a place where they serve food with decorative memories of school days. Mrupupup was at Old School Delights for the second time. The food was nice. Mrupupup had nasi lemak with very nice chicken wings, otak,  tender pork chops rice, Bandung rose syrup drink and lime juice. However, Mrupupup thinks the food prices were expensive. A meal could costs $10- $15 per person. For example, the nasi lemak costs $7.80, $10 for pork chop rice and drink ranging from $4 to $5. Fortunately, the food was nice, except for the otak which Mrupupup felt was left too long on the shelf and tasted not too nice. Anyway, enjoy your meal and have a look at the nice decorations of  'old school' in this eating place. Bandung Rose Syrup drink   Pork chop rice   Nasi Lemak    

Mrupupup got invited to a cooking contest using Tefal Actifry at Courts Ang Mo Kio. It was an interesting experience. Mrupupup did not know that there was a cooking equipment known as Tefal Actifry to help cook up a delicious dish. Mrupupup, as part of the Courts Ang Mo Kio cooking contest, came up with a nice chicken wings with mushrooms and broccoli dish. The cooking contest at Courts Ang Mo Kio was of a high standard with various Chinese, Western, Malay and Indian dishes, and the eventual winner came from a cooking school! How to win, Mrupupup? Nevermind, it was fun!             Tefal Actifry is a good cooking equipment and can cook so many type of dishes. Mrupupup was impressed with Tefal Actifry non-stick surface and hassle free way of cooking a dish. For the chicken wings, Mrupupup just put in the chicken wings, cooked mushroom & broccoli for about 20 mins and all was ready. Melvin from Funky Chef was the judge and he demonstrated the Tefal Actifry by cooking Kung Po Chicke

Andy Lau 刘 德 华  is a famous Hong Kong singer & movie star. Along with Sammi Cheng, these two movie stars were in Singapore. Mrupupup had a chance to take a photo with them. The two stars were in town to promote their latest Chinese movie "Blind Detective". Mrupupup loved watching Andy Lau in movies. When Mrupupup saw Andy Lau at Equarius Hotel @ Sentosa Resorts World, Mrupupup was awed by Andy Lau's presence. He's got charisma! Andy Lau is still so good looking for his age (50 plus). Wonderful experience but very quick photo taking session. Mrupupup was wary of the security surrounding Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng. Very fun experience! Andy Lau very cool movie star and wished him well for his new movie the Blind Detective.   The end result- a quick group photo with Andy Lau & Sammi Cheng     Waiting for a chance to take photo with Movie Stars       Holding room to wait for the stars     Guess got to wait for the famous people - s
