(Invited Tasting) To differentiate themselves from the competition, the new-on-the-scene pizza restaurants in Singapore have worked harder and smarter to carve out a strong branding, identity and menu for themselves. Two-month-old @wildchildpizzette at 50 Circular Road (they are directly across from OCBC Centre) is a great example of when all of that comes together awesomely. The centrally-located pizzeria and bar has a solid offering but it’s no surprise given that it is opened by the same folks behind @cichetirestaurant and @barcicheti, both highly popular Italian food joints. Moreover, talk of launching a #pizzeria had been on the back burner for about 8 years (it’s been a lifelong dream of Executive Chef and Co-owner @limyewaun), so you know when the moment arrived, he was bound to make the pizzas really special. His devotion to perfecting Neapolitan-style pizzas has resulted in a very enjoyable chewy, light crust that’s moist and airy as he ferments the dough twice, and at over 60 hours each time. Aun cleverly caps them at 10-inches in diameter at Wild Child Pizzette, so it’s easy to have one all to yourself. There are 7 ready options to choose from as well as a seasonal one, but what I also love is that you can build-your-own pizza from a list of toppings too. They include: onsen egg, black olives, San Daniele ham, salsiccia (sausage meat), strachiatella and anchovies. Besides pizzas, the menu lists many other tempting “Antipizette” to share or hog to yourself. I feel the pairing, alcoholic or otherwise, by Sommelier and Co-owner @ronaldkamiyama is another strong selling point of this place. You can count on this gregarious and charming gentleman’s fun and lateral approach for interesting pours to go with whatever you plan to munch on. So without further ado, let’s run through what @huatkaliao, @gaffie07 and I had: 1. Roasted Cauliflower ($14.50++) - Decked out in coriander, mint and pistachios on creamy labneh, this was a healthy opener. It was lovely with the Rosé from Tuscany, which also complemented the... 2. Roasted Kurobuta Pork Belly ($17++ 200gms / $31++ 400gms) - Magnificent!… ⬇️Continued in Comments⬇️

Recently I challenged @ericlofstedt to play some of the popular childhood pen & paper games to experience The Smoothest Gel Pen Ever from Faber-Castell, the #Fast GelZ! Watch the full video to find out who is the winer for the challenge! Some bts - I was really surprised and impressed when I first started using this on the challenge. I was completely mind blown as this new gel pen can't stop me from doodling on paper, signing or jotting down anything. It doesn't lag and I don't experience any ink skips at all. I'm loving it and would recommend it for every one!

Since Nahyan is going to school next year, I obviously started to think “Oh my! Can he recognise simple words? Will he be able to cope? Can he write?” I believe these are common worries amongst us, parents! I stumbled upon STABILO EASY Start Pack and was honestly impressed. The video above truly captured how he was a lot more confident in writing after consistently being guided by STABILO EASYergo 3.15mm Mechanical Pencil with the Alphabet book! It’s amazing and he even said “I CAN HOLD NOW MAMA!” Awww Nahyan🥰 It is specifically developed for children who are learning to write and available in 2 versions for left or right-handed users too. The grip-zone is made from non-slip material so this will help too:) Don’t worry. Extremely safe for children as the pencil only has 2 parts! I strongly encourage this perfect smart pack for any preschoolers!❤️ It’s currently exclusive only to POPULAR bookstores as a special promotion for this Children’s Day.
