[Food Review]: The Stateland Cafe

Hello savory, pastries, cakes and sweet decadence! 

Today, i'm gonna introduce you a new cafe which is spotted in the hipster area of Haji and Bali lanes near Arab Street that is offering everything from pasta to dessert. 

Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~

It's the 'STATELAND' cafe

Stateland cafe is a vintage-themed cafe, located at 30 Bali Lane, opened by 3 young man, in their 20s. After hearing so much ravings about em', i was eager to visit em' and 'fulfill' my long-awaited brunch. 

It was relatively crowded on a Saturday afternoon. The line was really long, probably about an hour of wait. As far as i know, It is usually 'full' during weekends- the place gets really busy though. 

Drop by on the weekdays if you do not want to meet the crowd.

The capacity of the cafe is limited because the cafe is really small. Nothing much fancy of the interior design, however, the cafe feels very well put together as compared to the other cafes. It is simple, uncluttered and cosy yet fully arranged. The interior was surrounded by wooden tables with steel legs. Everything (from the table, chairs and signage) was made from scratch from recycled wood and steel because their families are in the construction, metal and woodworks industries.

Picture frames- Picture of the fathers at work in their industries

Self-service// {Utensils} & {Free water}

The menu looked very impressive- almost overwhelmingly. There were many varieties to choose from and they were decently priced. 

Right now......let's talk about the desserts! The desserts are to die for.

They have a massive varieties than you can ever imagine in your wildest willy wonka-esque dreams and they are absolutely delicious. Everything is just so superb. 

I had the s'mores waffle while my friend had the classic waffle- both were amazing.

The classic waffle with ice-cream($11.90)

Belgium waffles topped with frozen berries and a scoop of ice-cream. You can opt for the non ice-cream version too and it's only $9.90. Hot and crispy waffle topped with a cold vanilla ball- is jus marvelous. Had to finish every squarish inch of waffle before the cutlery can be put down :P

The s'mores($14.90)

Really impress with the creation- Something you wouldn't able to get in other cafes.

Delicious crispy s'mores waffle, stuffed with melted marshmallow and biscuits, topped with a scoop of chocolate ice-cream and toasted marshmallow- it was sooooooooooooooo good. 

The aroma of the freshly-made waffle made me even more eager to dig in. The ice-cream took it's time to melt as well, which was great! Usually, ice-cream just melts on waffles and everything ends up in a soggy mess. 

I was overwhelmed with their savory menu too. Decided to order one and try.

After indulging em', i would definitely come back for more. This is really incredibly amazing and tasty. 

You wouldn't want to miss it

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

Agilo Olio// Spagetti tossed in olive oil, bird's eye chili, garlic and ham.

Overall review: Definitely a great ambience to chill at. Service at Stateland cafe is friendly and observant. Staff are generally attentive and friendly. Reasonable pricing for the high quality of food.

[Beauty Product Review]: Nivea Night Whitening Body Milk

Hi beauties! It's been ages since the last time i blog about beauty products! I have a whole lot of products to be reviewed but just got no time to sit and write about it because my major exam is coming up in between june-aug. But, I will definitely still be updating my blog at least once per week :)

Well, today i'm gonna share with you a trusty skincare product that i have been using for approximately 2years. Something which isn't a high end or luxurious product but it certainly does the job it's meant to do. I have always been a huge fan of them as they never once disappoint me. I keep getting questions on how to achieve smooth and healthy skin, be it through email or personal message. 

So here's a full review of those who wants to know my 'secret'. 

IT'S THE 'NIVEA NIGHT WHITENING BODY MILK'
Nivea Night Whitening Body Milk, especially formulated to strengthen the skin and support skin cell renewal during night time for revitalized and beautiful fair skin. It is enriched with Vitamin E and antioxidants derived from berry extracts. The skin is strengthened and moisturized for a fair and radiant complexion. Skin compatibility dermatologically proven.
Nivea Night Whitening Body milk comes in a 400ml white, b-shaped plastic bottle and a pump dispenser with it. I like it a lot in a way that you can regulate the right amount that you want easily. Also, it is more hygiene as compare to jars which you have to dip your fingers in every time you apply the cream. 

 The lotion is white in color with smooth creamy texture. The consistency is slightly thick and creamy but it is very easy to spread on skin. It feels light on skin and fast absorbent. It is a non-greasy lotion which does not leaves any oily/slippery layer behind. 
 I love the scent of this lotion- it got a pleasant smell. (Now, this is a tricky aspect about the different products that we use- they might be great in terms of their results and benefit but if they have an unpleasant smell, they can be a darned compelling reason for you not to use the product. Thankfully, this one lives up to it's 'FRESH SENSATION'. The scent stays on my skin for 4-5 long hours.

If you think that applying lotion is only required during summer , you are wrong. One should apply, especially if you stay in the air-conditioner room for too long. The lack of fresh air and sunlight can have a detrimental impact on your skin. 
That's why, it is important to moisturize your skin no matter what. 

What i like about Nivea Night Whitening Body Milk

• It is easy to spread on skin
• It is lightweight, non-greasy and non-sticky
• It keeps my skin moisture
• The smell is pleasant
• The price is pocket-friendly
• Suit for all skin type

     Overall Review:  My skin has always been troubled with eczema since young. It often breakout especially when the season is dry. That explains why the skin begins to flake, itch and result in redness.  

Thanks to 'Nivea Night whitening Body Milk'.  I really like it a lot because the product is really effective. It completely moisturize my dry skin and it's so much smoother now.  

I apply the lotion every night- On my neck, my hands, my legs etcetc. Like i mentioned earlier on, it is for ALL-SKIN-TYPE so it doesn't matter if you have a dry, normal or even oily skin. 

Lastly, i will rate 'Nivea Night Whitening Body Milk' 4 out of 5. 

If you are looking to achieve a smooth and healthy skin, i would recommend 'Nivea Night Whitening Body milk'. 

But, if you are looking to achieve a fair skin instead,  i would recommend Vaseline Healthy White- I did a review before, you can check it out if you would like to know more. 

The reason why I wouldn't recommend 'Nivea Night Whitening Body Milk' because it does not show any whitening effect. 

Where to purchase?

Available at any drugstore like NTUC/Guardian/Watsons.
