Featured Blog : The New Concept Cafe - Create by The Alley @Tampines 1

Tea has always been my favourite beverage of all time! I enjoy all kinds of tea, both hot and cold servings and I drink tea everyday. 

As a tea lover, I love to explore different lifestyle cafes and try out new bubble tea flavours with my besties!

It's Time For Tea!🧋

I recently check out this interesting cafe and had a fun experience...

                

The Alley, a globally renowned Taiwanese bubble tea brand is embarking a new journey in Singapore. The New Concept Cafe, "Create by The Alley" offers seasonal experiential sessions for guests to create their personalised beverages and desserts from their ironic menu.

Each hand-crafted drink is thoughtfully created from its stringent selection of imported premium ingredients and the tea leaves are harvest from the highlands of Taiwan.

Their signature Deerioca (*Iconic The Alley Deer + Tapioca = Deerioca) tapioca pearls are freshly prepared every few hours to ensure the perfect texture and favour in every bite.

Create by The Alley welcome everyone to experience the joy and the authenticity of every cup. It's a curated space for creativity, innovation and to enjoy high quality, tasty, hand-crafted beverage and desserts.

📍 The revamped cafe is located @Tampines 1 mall.

Bubble Tea Workshops (Make Your Own Boba)

I've always wanted to make boba and now I got a chance to make my own boba pearls and taste my creation. How cool!😎

 

We got the brown sugar flavour. We start off by rolling the dough evenly into a long strip, then we cut it into small pieces. My favorite part is pinching/rolling the dough into mini balls. It's really fun and kinda' therapeutic too.lol, it's a great activity workshop that is suitable for all ages.

      

                 

Let's Create! ;)

I choose Passionfruit Tea, it's one of my favourite drinks. Every sip taste refreshing and so satisfying with mild sweetness (to my preference) The fruity bites of the coconut jelly and chewy pearls blend perfectly well with the freshly brewed Jasmine tea.(Ahh, you're my cup of tea!😊)

I love the soft serve milk tea ice-cream with the blueberry toppings, something new and unique! It's rich and creamy with a zest of tea fragrance. You got to try this! Delish..and thumbs up! 👍

GEWR 2024 : Mummy + Me Women's Race (Finisher Medals Achieved)🏅🏅

The Great Eastern Women's Run (GEWR 2024) was held at Singapore Sports Hub (National Stadium) on 27 Oct 2024. It was an all-women's race with more than 12000 participants.

There are a few categories for the women's race : 21.5Km, 10Km, 5Km, 2Km Mummy+Me (5-12yo) and 100m Princess Dash.(3-6yo)

Initially, I planned to sign up for the 5km run as an individual, but since my daughter is really keen to join the event, we signed up for the 2KM Mummy + Me Category instead. The distance is much shorter but I think it's a good start for young children, especially when they are first timers.

 

This is the first time I'm running with my 9yo daughter (*Girl in pink cap) and I enjoy this sweet maternal bonding activity.💞

Let's Run..My Little Warrior!🏃‍♀️

We arrived at the stadium around 7:30 am. It was a lovely morning and a nice weather for outdoor activities. Minister Mr Edwin Tong flagged off the 2km race at 8am and here we go...

 

                          

              Mandy's Vlog : GEWR 2024 - Mummy + Me Category

The road was closed for the event, it was pretty crowded but still a smooth flow and we moved in a steadily speed. Every runner is so excited and eager to reach the finishing line within the cut-off time to receive our medals.

Keep Going...Never Quit! 💪

At some point, my daughter was feeling a little tired and I told her... "S, it's normal to feel tired..just keep walking but don't quit. We are almost there!😎" Every child need some words of encouragement and motivation. We made it and finished the race in less than 30mins.Yay!✌️

   

Our Mummy + Me Finisher Medals! 🏅🏅

                

The 2km run is fairly easy and manageable for majority of the adults & older kids but the most challenging part is running and videoing at the same time,lol..but I have to capture and document these precious moments, it's all worth it! 🥰

The medal is super cute with Cinnamoroll on it. My daughter is over the moon with her first medal and I am really proud of my baby for completing the race. We took lots of photos together and I hope this medal will motivate my daughter to achieve her goals as she grows...

Relax, Recharge and Enjoy...

       

     

We got some energy boosters and refreshments after the race, there were fun activities at the stadium for everyone, my daughter was thrilled to see Cinnamoroll dancing on the stage. Awww...He is so kawaii that I want to cuddle!!! 😊

            

The Event Pack :

  

Mission Accomplished - Medals Received In 2024
         
         
                     

My personal goal for this year is to achieve 3 medals by end of 2024 and I did it! I'm not much of an athlete nor a professional runner but I do enjoy sports!🏀 Every award/medal means a lot to me, it reminds me of the efforts, perseverance and determination to complete the race! Every participation feels different and very memorable experiences for me.

Running/doing sports is a great way to build stamina, physical health, willpower, inner strength and more...

I look forward to more sports/running events with my family & friends and to achieve more medals to my best abilities! 😎💪

Start Strong. Finish Great.

I'm pleased to be part of this fabulous event, it's amazing to meet so many incredible women, mummies, sisters, daughters coming together for this running event to empower wellness, fitness, and embracing an active, healthy lifestyle! 

 

Welldone ladies! We Start Strong and Finish Great! A warm applause and cheers to Girl Power! 👸❤️‍🔥💪

Exclusive Featured : Wine Tasting @75CL.SG🍷

            

"Red Red Wine...You Made Me Feel So Fine..."

After a long busy week, I like to chill and enjoy a glass of wine over the weekend...

Wine is more than just a beverage, every wine taste different and I appreciate good wine! As a social drinker, I drink occasionally during celebrations, private functions, dinners and leisure, etc...Personally, I love red wine and rosé from France and Italy.

The Hidden Gem - Wine Tasting @75cl.sg

Recently, I attended a wine tasting session @ 75cl.sg (Tasting Lab) located at Alexandra. The interior is exquisite and organised. Very cosy and relaxing ambience with soft music and warm lightings. I love the mellow vibes! I'm impressed with the wide varieties of wine collections neatly display in their store. Their wines are from France, Spain, Italy, USA, Australia and more...The prices are reasonable and a great value for wine enthusiasts.

                

       

               

It was nice meeting Mr Alex Guo, the gentleman is warm, polite and friendly, he showed me around the place and shared some tips and knowledge about wine. Here is Alex opening up a bottle of wine. Very skilled and professional! (*I could never open this fast!😄👍)

                    

The 5 Featured Red Wines From United States :

               

1. Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon (2019)
2. Andrew Will Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Rouge (2015)
3. Wetzel Estate Reserve Pinot Noir ( 2017)
4. Chateau Bianca Pinot Noir (2020)
5. Sand Point Zinfandel (2019)

I tried all of the featured wines and I really like Paul Hobbs(1) and Sand Point Zinfandel(5) Coincidentally, both wine that I like are from 2019.lol. I love the sweet berry taste, deep savoury aroma and rich mouthfeel on the palate. Suitable for ladies, light drinkers and it goes well with steak dinners.
