Gindaco - must try!

Image
They are back again in Singapore. (They first came years ago but they left but now they are back! They were back for quite sometime but took me this long to revisit them at JCube) Gindaco  - Takoyaki When takoyaki was introduced to me, I wasn't a fan cos I like the batter but I ain't a seafood lover. So I always ordered takoyaki without tako (I opted for the ham and cheese filling) It was when my friend told me about this must try takoyaki that totally conquered my tastebud. The octopus piece was so nice and the takoyaki was crispy on the outside and soft and melty fillings within. Topped with the takoyaki sauce with bonito flakes, everything is just so nice~~~~ Yes, I am referring to Gindaco . The takoyaki comes in 6pcs, 8pcs, 16pcs to 24pcs!! My usual order would be 8pcs as 6pcs isn't enough while 16pcs is a bit too much to finish on my own. And no.. I won't go for takeaway because I find it best to consume it on the spot.

Amazed by the new smart plug nowadays...

It was 5 years back and it was simply not so useful as the pricing stopped me from getting more sets. Also, I didn't have  Google Home   or  Alexa   etc. After my previous encounter with bulky smart device, I stopped looking at smart plug until recently I came across smart plug from China. By Chance...  I came across the smart plug again while online shopping. I was amazed that smart plugs are now almost the same as normal plug in terms of size and everything else. 1. Size The one I chanced upon was a squarish look and a circular one. I went for a round shaped plug for space saving. (As reviewer for the squarish design commented it blocked the on/off button of the socket) 2. App compatibily The smart plug/smart socket extension both used  Smart Life  App. It was quite easy to set up, but the main hiccup w...

Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City Review

I was so looking forward to the movie... Another Resident Evil movie! Since I have watched the previous few titles so I thought it might be more or less the same kind of vibe but I was wrong.  In this film, we were shown  Gill Valentine, Westor, Chris & Claire Redfield and Leon. ( Ada  appeared at the very end of the film for a few seconds.) I didn't play the games so I ain't sure how the actual characters are linked to each other in the game play. and seeing the creatures/monsters all over again, but something just feel missing. The movie review: The focus in the movie jumped from showing Claire Redfield's childhood at Racoon City and then back to the present and back and fro and also details on why the current Racoon City and a brief moment on why Claire Redfield was back in town.  One third of the screen time gone and the movie was still on giving details about Racoon City, the reason for the team of four who ventured into the now-abandoned mansion which led ...
