Nasty Cookie - Singapore's first NY Gourmet Cookie Store

ABBEY: We had this craving for cookies and we want to get it from new shops. And then we found Nasty Cookies at Funan Mall. The teal-light-bluish shop is selling jumbo cookies. And they come in different flavours. 

We got a box of six and each cookie is individually boxed. How cool is that? Perfect for gifts. You won’t be shy to give it away as they also taste good. We had Choc Chip, Dark Choc Chip, Biscoff Cookie, White Choc Macademia, Oh! Smores, and Cookies N Cream Cheesecake. 

All of them are decadent and will definitely satisfy your sugar needs. As their message on the wall; it is worth every calorie. Haha. Just to give you an idea, a cookie costs almost an average price of a typical hawker dish.

WILL: I am quite frustrated with my latest trip with "chunky" cookie (you know what I am saying? haha) and Facebook’s algorithm worked again and enticed me and Abbey to try the new Nasty Cookie. One of the branches of Nasty Cookie is at Funan Mall. It is quite hidden so take time and patience to find it. But you will never get wrong of the store due to glaring Tiffany Blue color. 

That time they only offer a few selection and I am astounded of the price. It is steep! Haha! The cookie’s diameter is not that big but it is thick. Abbey and I chose Dark Chocolate Chip, Biscoff Cookie, Oh! Smores, Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia, Cookies and Creme Cheesecake.

We do not have a microwave but heat it up using an oven. The chocolate, marshmallow or whatever flavor inside the cookie oozes out with delight. The flavour is intensified by the heat. The dough texture is perfect. Not hard, not crumbly, quite chewy but not so sweet! Blends perfectly on toppings.

Now, Nasty Cookie is my favourite store cookie! Do not skip their Biscoff Cookie & Oh! Smores!

Organic Hair Professional on Fave Voucher

ABBEY: As part of pampering, we went to Organic Salon for hair treatment and cut. 

We were given scalp assessment and found out that mine is oily. There came what I called “menthol” therapy. After a relaxing shampoo session, they also put serum on my scalp. It was as if my head was dipped in a toothpaste solution. I felt coolness and lightness on my head. Next thing I know I had a haircut ($39.10) which suits me well.

The service price is somehow on the expensive side but it’s worth your while.

WILL: Another tried salon from FAVE. I had the $59.68 deal that consisted of hair colouring and argan oil treatment. 

There are so many salon offering their promotions at FAVE but Organic Salon hits most due to being “organic”. Come to think of it, we do not need all those chemicals applied on our body specially on our head. So let’s go for organic.

They are offering a free scalp analysis and I am willingly asked for a top-up of $80++. The scalp treatment ate up almost half of our stay at their salon. The process? Scalp analysis, Scalp Massage, High Frequency Comb, Nanospray and Light Therapy. After that process, you can really see with your own eyes (no need of machine) that the scalp is all cleaned and very clear.

On the other hand, they never met expected color of my hair. Quite a disappointment. Oh! Warning! They are pushy! That is the time that you will regret going to a salon. You can’t relax. Haha! They really don’t accept NO for an answer.

For scalp cleaning, recommendable. For the failed color I experienced is a ‘no’ and for marketing definitely a big NO.

Jurong Lake Gardens - Parks & Nature Reserves

ABBEY: 



WILL: I am quite curious how the Jurong Lake Garden looks like. Well, Chat made me jealous on her exercise videos. So when she invited on her birthday, I suggested if we can roam around the famous Jurong Lake Garden. It is quite late because we waited for the rain to stop so I told Chat that we will come back to see the huge park through sunlight! 

After a week, Abbey and I were back and marvelled the beauty of not yet fully opened 90 hectare park. 

We enjoyed the playground specially the zipline. We were amazed by the Allotment Garden and spend some time at The Lone Tree. 

We covered around 7km of the park and we are definitely be back once the Chinese and Japanese are renovated. 

That is a fun run we have. Your kids will definitely enjoy the Jurong Lake Gardens
