Minimalist Honey

Hey all! Although this blog is not a food blog, but just wanted to share some great food I had recently! As a huge Japan lover who used to travel to Japan twice annually, I'm always in search of good Japanese food in Singapore to feed my tummy and soul. Especially now that I've stop travelling because I'm married and have a house to pay for. I'm lucky to have a Japanese street in a mall nearby to my work place. In B1 of Jurong Point, you can find a Japanese street with a variety of restaurants brought in by RE&S.

Secondly, it is also easier for non-Chinese speaking users to shop on Qoo10 as most sellers can communicate in English, especially if they are local sellers.

Hi guys! I was shopping a lot during wedding prep (far from being a minimalist before my wedding) and thought I should introduce the items I got from Taobao, Qoo10 and Daiso which I thought were value for money and have high cost performance! For this particular post I will focus on 10 items I got on Taobao so it doesn't get too long. Then I'll talk about Qoo10 and Daiso on the next. Do note that again I have no affiliations with these vendors and am introducing them based on my experience. Taobao I've been shopping on Taobao for 11 years since 2008. I was in Hang Zhou for immersion and that was where I opened the pandora box of Taobao shopping. When I came back to Singapore, I started using the third party purchasing agent EZBuy. I was with them since they started and were called 65Daigou, and bought a Prime membership with them where I only pay $2.99 each time for shipping. Sometimes I also purchase directly with Taobao sellers when I can't find the i
