老伴豆花 (Lao Ban Soyabean)
Price: $1.50 (Original); $2 (Other flavours)

Pros: Smooth, fragrant, less sweet
Cons: Long Q, more expensive
























This is a famous stall and they have lots of positive review online. They have 2 stalls (Maxwell Food Centre & Old Changi Airport Hawker Centre). Their soya beancurd is very smooth, and it has soya bean fragrant on its own. Unlike the traditional ones, which are tasteless on its own and sweetened by the additional syrup.

There's always long queue at their stalls. Waiting time around 20min. Their customers will always buy in bulk (20 or 30 boxes). There are other stalls that are starting to sell something similar to this. I have tried one at People's Park Food Centre (Aunty's Soybean). There is no queue and it's sold at the same price ($1.50 & $2). It is as smooth, but less fragrant as compared to Lao Ban.

 Lao Ban is a must try! For me, I can eat many boxes without getting sick. =P

Kerastase Nutritive Oleo-curl


Kerastase Nutritive
Oleo-Curl
Nutri-Huile + Curl Protect
Price: S$35.50 (@ Swanston)

Pros: Fragrant, not greasy
Cons: Expensive, Holding power not very strong, Not very moisturizing








































My friend recommended this product to me after I perm my hair. She said it helped her to define her curls.

It has a very sweet scent and it doesn't make my hair greasy. However, I was a little disappointed after using as I need to use a considerable amount to see the effect. Even after using more of it, the effect only last for about 4 hours.. and  after that, my hair looks dry and a little frizzy..

Perhaps this product worked well for my friend as she has natural curls. I believe It might require a diffuser for it to give better effects. But as I need to rush to work in the morning, I prefer products that will work well even without a diffuser.

I will not buy this product as considering the price, I expected it to be better than Lucido-L's Hair Milk (Soft Wave), which is (S$7.90) less than a quarter of the price of this product, yet more moisturizing, and defines and holds my curls better. curls better.
