Meaning “pub” in Czech, Hospoda is the first and only Czech microbrewery in Singapore. It imports all its ingredients (with the exception of water) from the Czech Republic and brews its beer right on the premises, about once every fortnight, in the method that its original Czech owners taught.



Though the owners adjusted the beers’ taste to suit the local palate, the beers served still retain its distinctive taste that sets out Czech beers from their European cousins. 


On the balmy Tuesday night, we sampled four beers, which were:

1. Bohemian Pilsner (250 ml: $10; 500 ml: $14; jug: $28) – A light, slightly cloudy and hay-coloured beer that’s smooth and crisp, with a floral and hoppy aroma.
2. Bohemian Mix (250 ml: $12; 500 ml: $16; jug: $30) – A 50-50 mix of their pilsner and dark lager. One starts light and the flavour becomes increasingly complex, with notes of coffee, as you reach the dark lager at the bottom of the glass. 
3. Bohemian Dark Lager (250 ml: $11; 500 ml: $15; jug: $29) – An immensely malty, aromatic brew redolent of Chinese herbs. 
4. Pilsner Urquell ($10/$14) – Said to be the world’s first pilsner, with strong honey notes and a hoppy aftertaste. Easily my favourite drink of the night that goes smoothly with the food served in the pub.



We also sampled two main courses which were the Hospoda Burger with fries ($12) with the house special siracha mayonnaise sauce (A creation of the pub’s owner) and BBQ Chicken Chop with fries and salad ($12). 

Both main courses were cooked with an air-fryer which retains the taste and flavour of the food but does not leave an oily aftertaste in conventionally fried items. This gave us room to indulge in more of the beer without much guilt.

Sunglasses are a must-have item not only for woman but also man. Not only do they protect our eyes from the harmful UV Rays but they’re a good fashion accessory, adding a cool style to any outfit anytime.

 You can put on different kind of sunglasses for different mood and occasions. 

Great news! adidas originals eyewear by italia independent has just launched in Singapore in Jan 2017.



This collection was launched for the first time in Asia – features a medley of slick sunglasses and prescription frames, with retro looks and classic prints to choose from.



For those who prefer metal, they also have a metal collection which features a metal rim welded on its back, and a thinly composed metal frame that gives its design a nice blend of vintage and contemporary. 

You will be spoilt for choices with 12 new models – seven sunglasses and five optical frames to choose from. I'm impressed with the internal non-glare treatment and interchangeable nose pads for this new collection.



The adidas Originals eyewear collection will start from $205 for sunglasses and $185 for prescription frames. Sin Kwang Optical Pte Ltd will be the sole distributor. 

Valentine's Day is coming! Sunglasses will be an ideal gift for him/her.

Nando's New Mango & Lime PERi-PERi Flavour !
­
Happy year of the Fire Rooster everyone! Speaking of the Fire Rooster, Nando's, known for its Afro-Portuguese flame-grilled chicken glazed with different levels of spiciness, has introduced a brand-new flavour - Mango & Lime! Diners now have the choice to select any of your favourite Nando's dishes and have them served with the Mango and Lime flavour!

 

Chicken is easily one of the most popular dishes you see at every table, but Mango and Lime flame-grilled chicken? That is new to me and I was eager to visit Nando's to try when Will told me about it.

We went down to Nando's Bishan in the evening. Besides being a great spot to hang out with friends at the spacious, two-level outlet, the interior decorations exude a warm and homey feeling. 

Tropical Fruitea ($4.90)


I am highly pleased with this cup of refreshing fruit tea. It has a good mix of sweetness and sourness, with fruit pulps at the bottom.  The combination of mango, lime, infused with orange juice and ice lemon tea gives a perfect blend of fruitiness.


PERi-PERi Soup ($5.90)

Though this soup looks light, it is rich in taste. It has a nice blend of chicken and mushroom flavours. Finely diced mushrooms add texture to the soup. On top of it, there is a hint of PERi-PERi spiciness in the back palate that tingles the taste buds.  

Espetada ($17.90

This Espetada tastes as good as it looks! I'll never forget the first bite. It is a mouth-watering dish as the chicken is tender and juicy. If you are craving for something savory, this will surely satisfy that craving. Chunks of Mango and Lime marinated chargrilled chicken with mixed peppers are served on a skewer that hangs off the hook. 

3 Chicken Wings ($10.90)



I am not a big fan of grilled chicken wings, but Nando's wings are flavourful and I enjoyed the Mango and Lime taste to it! You got to eat it while it is hot!

Full Platter with 4 Regular Sides ($44.90)


Finally... we ordered a Mango and Lime flavoured Full Platter with 4 sides, Chargrilled Vegs, Mediterranean Rice, PERi Chips and Corn-On-The-Cob (2 other sides are not shown in this photo). A meal at Nando's is never complete without their signature flame-grilled PERi-PERi Chicken, which they leave to marinade for 24 hours overnight so that the sauce is well seasoned into the meat.


Without a doubt, the meat was as tender as we expected and the Mango and Lime flavour adds a sweet, tangy and zesty taste to it! I am starting to enjoy this over the original PERi-PERi sauce. This Full Platter is good for sharing amongst a group of 4.


There are many varieties at Nando's. These were our orders for the night! It was a good thing that I reserved my stomach for a sumptuous dinner!

WIN Nando's Mango & Lime Full Platter (3 lucky winners)!!!

I've been looking for a bag that I can use for my travel (including staycation in Singapore) and I'm glad I found one recently- CabinZero.

For short trips, I usually don't like to carry a big luggage but just a backpack.

Frontal view (Vertical)
 The 'Classic' ultra-light cabin and travel bag in Urban Camo features large 44 litre capacity, side compression straps, top and side handles, front zipped pocket, inside zipped and mesh pockets. 

The design is definitely cooler than proper military Camouflage prints. It is definitely an ideal bag for travelling light. Yes, CabinZero bag complies with majority of airlines maximum hand luggage dimensions of 55 x 40 x 20 cm, including the more anal budget airlines like easyJet, Ryanair, Lufthansa and AirAsia.

  • Lockable Zippers on main compartment (lock not included)
  • 10 years warranty (upgradable to 25 years free of charge if you 'like' us on FaceBook)
