Lulu Guinness Autumn Winter Collection Singapore Launch Brooch Making Contest

BEAUTERUNWAY’s Couture brooch on Desti Saint clutch. This is my first attempt in making a brooch.


BEAUTERUNWAY COUTURE BROOCH WITH DESTI SAINT CLUTCH


First, I chose some pretty blue feathers. Next,  I stuck little white faux pearls onto the double sided tape. However, the black and blue beads were too tiny and heavy hence I cut a thin cardboard strip and used superglue to stick them together. Finally I straightened the ear ring hook and glued it on the back of my feather base and a brooch pin behind.


Amelia is the winner for Couture Brooch making and I was the runner-up.

We chose JPOT Superior Broth and Silky Porridge as our individual soup base.  A difficult choice as there are 7 soup broths available including Bak Kut The, Vegetarian, Herbal, Laksa and Tom Yum are so tempting.

JPOT Silky Porridge or popularly known in Mandarin as 无米粥 is a fine gruel broth that coats all ingredients cooked in it with a delightful smoothness while gently coaxing their nutritive benefits. Created from a custom blend of premium rice grains, the amazing silken texture is achieved by finely milling and brewing the grains for hours and is a great comfort food for those who prefer the taste and texture of a rice porridge gruel that isn't too heavy on the palate yet able to embrace many of JPOT's fine selections of ingredients.

Light, tasty, healthy and gentle to our digestive system, it is a broth most suitable for everyone  from the very young to the old.

JPOT Superior Broth is a healthy and collagen rich broth. Brewed with a blend of chicken and pork bones, the tasty and rich collagen broth is painstaking simmered for hours  before it is served. An excellent choice for convalescing individuals, children and the elderly or someone who enjoys wholesome goodness, the MSG-free broth is versatile and goes especially well with live seafood, premium meats and dim sum specialties.
Natural, nutrious home made goodness for healthy glowing skin!

JPOT fried fish skin using specially selected carp is the best I had ever tried. Crispy, nutritious and delicious, all the nutrients in the fish is actually on the fish skin.  Made daily, this dish is often sold out! Must try and if you order JPOT fried fish as takeaway, it will remain fresh and crispy in the airtight container for a week, that is if you have resisted the temptation to finish all at one go!

Another favorite and must have! JPOT premium Wagyu Ribeye. Fresh and evenly marbled, succulent and decadent !

I enjoyed my first JPOT hotpot experience tremendously as it offers healthy nutritious goodness for beauty wellness with its collagen rich MSG –free broth and quality fresh food in relaxing comfortable ambience with aircon. I am not a hotpot fan but after discovering JPOT, I am a convert and wish there are more outlets in Singapore and particularly in East Coast where I reside.
