Shin Ramyun

Mushroom Flavor

Shrimp Flavor

ABBEY: I asked my wife what is Shin Ramyun. Is it a local restaurant or hawker that we visited? No. It is the great tasting noodles that I like the most. Imagine, I just eat it not knowing its name. I don't know the name because every time we buy it, I just look for the color of the package. Haha. Back in Philippines, Wilma gave me a cup of the noodles and said to try it. I was hesitant because I'm not used to a spicy noodle. When I tasted it, it was so good. It's flavorful and you'll be craving for more. You can buy it as instant noodles in a cup or cook it. A cup cost not more than 2sgd and 5-piece pack is 3.5sgd. This is a must try. Even Tatay enjoyed the noodles also.

WILL: I tasted this noodles when I was in Qingdao. Since then, my taste buds keep on longing for the taste of its spicy soup. My love story continues when I discovered that this was also available in Manila at Trinoma Mall and for me to confirm if this is really delicious noodles, I ask my dad to taste and give a verdict. From there, it is certified the best easy-to-cook ramen not only for me but for also for my family.
     Now, this is a must to our list. I am so delighted that their shrimp flavor do not give an itch to my husband! (Abbey is allergic to seafoods). Love this! 

Shu Uemura Cleansing Oils

ABBEY: We got 4 sample sachets each of these cleansing oils. Upon availing the samples the sales associate will ask for your face skin type. I was given the sample for oily ones :) During our clean up, we opened one sachet and applied the oil as per the instructions. It has a nice scent and you will not feel any greasiness after rinsing; leaving your skin smooth and soft. This maybe the best cleanser that I've tried.

WILL: We registered then we get their samples. I forgot to get the name of the very accommodating personnel that time, they ask me few questions first and check our skin before they gave us the suitable oils for us. 
      She gave me the brightening cleansing oils and high performance balancing cleansing oils.. for my husband, she gave four sets cleansing beauty oil (anti-oxidant). 
      The instruction is to put it on a dry face with dry hands. Okay. After that date we had, I went to our bathroom to remove my make-up.
      In my head, "Hmp! This oils will just worsen the removal of my make up, specially on my eye area. Just like other unmasking products, tints of my liquid eyeliner will be all over my face". 
      As I open the sachet with violet colored bottle, I was surprised to found out the very soothing aroma. It made me feel that I am in a spa. ;) Very relaxing! I pour some oils on my dry hands and put it immediately on forehead then on my eyes. All I can is "wow". The make up just seems melted away and I can't see and residue of it. It just make me feel that I never put any make-up on. ;) 
      Abbey love it too. He have a very sensitive skin, but this oil dont give him any allergic reaction. After using it, he blurted out. "We will definitely buy this".
      Thanks Shu Uemura. Perfect! When they posted a contest to bring all our toughest and hardest to remove make up, haha! I passed up the challenge, I know I will lose that battle. Hehe!

Morcon Recipe

Ingredients:

Beef flank (filleted to desired thickness)

Hotdog

Cheddar cheese

Hard boiled eggs

Beef broth

Soy sauce

Lemon

Flour

Marinate the beef in a mixture of soy sauce and lemon for an hour.

After marinating, flatten the beef in a smooth surface and start to arrange the hotdog, eggs and cheese onone end of the fillet.

Roll the beef tightly and secure it with cooking string or thread.

Cover the beef in flour and fry it.

After frying, boil the beef with the broth until the meat is tender. You can also add the marinate used earlier to add more flavor.

To give the morcon a more firmness, fry it again for a couple of minutes.

Remove the string and serve with hot rice.

The broth can be used also as gravy. :)

WILL: Dahil ayaw ni nanay na tuparin ang kahilingan ko para sa ulam na morcon, si Abbey, ang aking butihing asawa ang gumawa nun. ;) 
      We bought ingredients at Serangoon. Early in the morning he defrost all the meats and set all the ingredients. 
He rolled in the ingredients and tied it like a pro. When he starts to fry and simmer it in the broth, the aroma filled our home. 

      As i dig in, the meat is so so tender, melted cheese blends perfectly with the taste of beef, hotdog, egg and gravy. ;) Sa uulitin Chef!
