The Rosette Media team collaborated with Elements Wellness group, to review their latest offerings for a facial and spa massage treatment in December 2020. We also got a great opportunity to assess and audit their safety parameters and protocols, governing spa clientele as per the new norms brought about by Covid-19, and Elements scored brilliantly in this area. Oxygeneo Facial Zoe, a beauty therapist with over 10 years of experience, introduced the all-new patented OxyGeneo™ Technology as she worked on my fatigued and tired face (yes, tons of work, over-time and late sleepless nights). The Oxygeneo Facial is instrumental in delivering unparalleled skin nourishment & oxygenation and I can see the face lift, at various contours of my face and I can feel the vibrancy and tenderness of a younger looking skin after my first treatment. In the past years, I would go for a facial monthly but due to Covid-19, I was so busy, that this is actually my first facial treatment in a year. Zoe is very thorough, from the initial cleansing, to the "surface and in-deep" facials as part of the entire intensive facial regime, that comprise of lifting and elasticity. Oxygeneo assists in the efficacy of a deep facial rejuvenation, whilst exfoliating the microdermabrasive layers of my facial structure, by infusing essential revitalizing nutrients and healing skin oxygenation from within. Thorough-out the process, I felt pampered again and again, with her very skilful facial massage techniques, that is interwoven with the aloe-vera collagen mask process, the collagen ampoule treatment, the moisturiser application and the sun-block facial application (attached photo - satisfied Elements Wellness Client) OxyGeneo™ treatments are suitable for all skin types – it can be delivered to all clients ranging from ethnicity skin differences, pigmentation types, sensitive skin, keloid (scar) issues, and those who are sensitive to abrasive treatments. Benefits: Skin Plumping & Hydrating Restored Skin Volume Renewed Youthful Glow (you can see my face glowing!) Increased Collagen Reduced Hyper-Pigmentation Improved Skin Cell Production Reduce Appearance of Wrinkles Suitable for all skin types Overall Synopsis: Highly Recommended. Rejuvenated with a Powerful After-Glow! Hyperwave™ Bioelectric Therapy For the next phase of my spa treatment, Cherry, a very experienced Spa Therapist, offered a combination of a traditional massage combined with a TCM-based Meridian Flush and a super-awesome and very effective Hyperwave Bioelectric Therapy. What I truly like about Elements Wellness is the very fact that they curate their massage treatments and techniques based on a bespoke approach, looking at the age, existing aches, body profile and composition by doing an initial assessment. Certified Hyperwave™ therapists, like Cherry, use her hands to deliver Bioelectricity into my body. This treatment improves nerve function and energizes cells to improve its function. I can feel the the bio-electric sensations going through the various aches and painful areas of my aching body (due to over-excessive work, yes, we work like mad in Asia!), and relieving them immediately on-the-spot with multiple energizing passes. A healthy nervous system and optimum cell function gives us good health and a brilliant after-massage wellbeing. I felt so rejuvenated and relaxed as it can reach the very deep areas of my tendons, muscles and body mass that cannot be delivered by a physical massage. Developed by national athletes, this is a therapy that uses bioelectricity to relieve muscle aches, pains and increase cellular energy for improved well-being. This therapy balances the physical aspects of well-being and also the internal health of our cells. Bioelectricity is the natural electrical charge in our bodies; it is the basis of life. The human body is electrical, our hearts are driven by low levels of electricity and every single cell contains a low level of electrical charge for all functions including recovery and regeneration. So how does Hyperwave™ Bioelectric Therapy help us? Hyperwave™ Bioelectric Therapy can help by balancing our internal system. Aligning our body’s currents
 Bioelectric currents can travel deep into muscles where traditional therapy cannot reach, to bring about deep healing. Injured or unhealthy tissues have a different electrical pattern than healthy tissue. During the therapy, the injured tissue absorbs the optimal bioelectric frequency and starts to resonate with this optimal frequency that is used to accelerate recovery. It is safe and a drug-free option.
 In TCM, this is known as un-blocking ‘Qi’. Applying bioelectric therapy helps clear meridians of blocked Qi to enable energy to flow freely in our body to promote healing and regeneration. Balances Nervous System
 Bioelectricity helps activate and balance our nervous system. A balanced nervous system stabilizes and regulates the healthy function of organs such as the heart, stomach and intestines. In TCM, bioelectricity is known to open our meridians, for energy or Qi to flow freely through our cells. Energizing cells
 Studies have shown that microcurrents with specific frequencies can increase ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, which then provides cells with the energy required to regenerate and keep cells healthy. Some scientists consider aging due to a lack of ATP, that is, the amount of ATP available is not enough for the cells to maintain peak performance. Energized Cells = Healthier Body Ideal for: Muscle aches, soreness Relieve pain Fatigue, low energy levels Poor digestion Overall Synopsis: Highly Recommended. Very Effective. Well rejuvenated!

Imagine a cold, rainy evening. You step into the showers, let the warm water fall on you, and ponder what to have for dinner. Chances are, hotpot is one of the first few considerations. There’s just nothing more comforting than a nice, hot broth on a cold, windy night. So when we recently had the chance to visit GoroGoroSteamboat & Korean Buffet restaurant, we were thrilledto satisfy our hotpot cravings. At GoroGoro, there are 7 different soup bases to choose from and a vast array of ingredients. We selected the Mala, Ginseng chicken and the crowd favourite - Beauty collagen soup. With the first sip of the collagen soup, we immediately understood why this is a top pick among patrons. There’s a fullness to the soup that keeps you satisfied, yet a lightness that ensures it never get overbearing. We were impressed with thebroth and later found out that to achieve such a rich taste, it has to be boiled for over 12 hours. Food at GoroGoro Steamboat Veggie lovers are spoilt for choice at the Veggies Paradise, where the ingredients are kept fresh with billowing cold air. Meat items are refrigerated in the kitchen and served upon request. We ordered a fair amount of pork and beef and placed a request for some seafood items – mussels, white clams and prawns. The prawns added a hint of sweetness to the collagen soup that added to its full flavour. We threw our ingredients into the soup bases, watching them swim together as they formed an amalgam of colour and texture. While waiting for them to cook, we ordered from the cooked-food menu. The chefs at GoroGoro have done a great job in not only ensuring the ingredients are top quality, but also curating a menu of cooked delicacies. We tried the signature Korean Chicken Wing, which is a popular appetizer. This completely blew us away. With a thick, sticky sauce coating the skin and permeating into the succulent flesh of the chicken, these wings are incredibly tasty (and addictive!) It’s amazing how a dish like this could be part of a buffet spread. Drinks at GoroGoro Steamboat We initially got some Calamansi and Iced peach tea. Refills were prompt as members of the staff moved around, ensuring we had everything we wanted. As our stomachs got half-filled, we decided to indulge in some Soju, bringing out the authentic Korean dining experience. There are a few other drinks to choose from such as Makgeolli (Korean rice wine), beer, and some soft drinks. But we enjoyed the soup so much that we didn’t order any of the other drinks. Desserts at GoroGoro Steamboat We ended our meal with some Yam paste and Peach gum dessert. The peach gum was refreshing and the yam paste had just the right consistency. It was not overly sweet and a satisfying way to end a flavourfulhotpot dinner. Ambience at GoroGoro Steamboat There is a certain vibrancy and liveliness to the design at GoroGoro. The cute soup-based mascots create a fun environment where patrons can have a delectable meal and feel completely relaxed. With its affordable pricing and delicious food, GoroGoro definitely warrants multiple visits. Head on down to The Centrepoint outlet at 176 Orchard Road #03-43 Singapore 238843.

Hainanese food is a dying trade as many older generation hawkers retire and their children are not keen to take over the business. The newly opened Hainan Story is a 5 in 1 food court concept located in Hillion Mall in Bukit Panjang. You can order from 5 different Hainanese stalls under one roof from a central ordering system and collect your order once it is ready. The 5 stalls here are household names like Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice and Ah Chiang's Porridge, along with newcomers The Hainan Story, Newspaper Curry Rice, and Uncle Robert Western. We decided to drop by during lunch on a weekday to check it out. And my oh my there was a queue of heartlanders from the nearby housing estates, but we were pleasantly surprised that the queue moved pretty fast and we were seated within 15 minutes. We started off with comfort "breakfast" of homemade Gula Melaka Kaya with Butter Toast, 2 soft boiled eggs and Kopi O with butter. The homemade Gula Melaka was sweet but not overpowering on the palate, balanced with a hint of caramel. We were told by the staff that no preservatives were added to the Gula Melaka. Retail jars of the Gula Melaka are also available for takeaway, but they need to be consumed in 1 week. This is proof that there are no added preservatives indeed. After "breakfast", we moved to lunch. We ordered the Newspaper Curry Rice, which is essentially Hainanese Mixed Vegetable Rice served on newspaper which gives it a nostalgic touch. Out of the 6 sets available, we chose the Pork Belly set with fried egg, crackers, sambal tempeh and long bean vegetables. Next up was the Curry Chicken Rice set. We were served a full chicken drumstick slathered in traditional Hainanese curry gravy marinated in spices from a secret recipe. The curry was robust and full of flavours, and the beautiful thing was that we did not feel "jelak" (bloated) after that. Traditional Hainanese Lamb Stew in Claypot. The gravy was still bubbling when our order was ready. The lamb was soft and tender, stewed for many hours, and did not have a "gamey" taste associated with lamb which can put some people off. We lathered the gravy on top of our rice and whooh it was simply heavenly. We ordered the Oxtail Stew next. Again the meat was soft and tender and fell off the bone cleanly when we ate it. The tomato based gravy also paired really well with our rice. Next up was Fried Rice with Chicken Cutlet. The rice was expertly fried over a big fire and full of "wok hei". The chicken was a tad too dry though for our liking. Hainanese Chicken Rice "Hei Bai" Roasted and White. Ah, chicken rice - Singaporeans' favourite go-to food. The meat was tender and succulent and paired really well with the homemade chilli and ginger dip. Verdict: Great restaurant quality Hainanese comfort food at wallet friendly food court prices. We will return again another day to try the other dishes.

Naga Imo has it origins attached to the humble Japanese Yam and the basis for Longevity, and we were extremely curious to check this place out, and that's what we did one evening. Wwe arrived and saw an amazing Japanese umbrella decor adorned against the ceiling. Naga Imo is housed in a lovely 3-storey restored pre-war shophouse along the bustling and trendy Club Street and serves authentic Japanese cuisine in two unique dining concepts. A welcome Japanese High ball set the evening straight on-track, prior to our meal. We went through various items on their new a la carte menu, with a plethora of Sashimi platter - so fresh and delicious, the Chicken taru taru, this is so tasty, a Menchi katsa, which is actually beef-centric meatball, cooked to perfection with lots of umami and flavour. Our German media correspondent, Maria simply adored the Beinasu dengaku- which is essentially an eggplant delivered in a nicely cooked style. A lovely set of Sushi platter was brought in, and it was just simple pure, fresh and well melangé to perfection in the chef's sushi curation. The Kani miso tsumami allowed us to cleanse the palate, before the arrival of the Gyu nikomi miso, which was excellent and so was the Gyu mochi kome - which is minced sprinkled beef with glutinous rice.

We were super excited and entralled when we were invited to take a peek at the latest collaboration between INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS & RESORTS and CAMPARI, on their latest endeavor to juxtapose a series of Sala Spiritello pop up experiences by Campari and the introduction of the new InterContinental Negroni. This authentic Milanese aperitivo is best expressed through the Sala Spiritello, that is hidden within the Camparino, where the art of mixology meets the aromas and flavour of the food mastery -> we like that! Created by Symphony Loo, Campari’s regional brand ambassador, the InterContinental Negroni is an only exclusive to InterContinental Hotels & Resorts and his inspiration is drawn from the “go-to gifts like locally-sourced coffee beans, tea and chocolate, with the taste profiling interspersed by inspirations of floral notes, coffee, hint of saltiness and citrus”. We sampled the signatory InterContinental Negroni – Sala Spiritello edition which consist of Campari, Cinzano Bianco, Cinzano Rosso, Bulldog Gin, Olive Brine, Jasmine Tea, Coffee Orange and Chocolate Bitters -> the umami mix and middle palate lingers as the range of different flavors are omnipresent in this cocktail. The Campari Seltz was a great starter with both Campari and Soda. We loved the Piña Shakerato which is so refreshing oozing with Campari, Fresh Pineapple Juice, Coconut Oil and the Aero 2.0 was simply marvelous with a spread of Aperol, Averna, Wild Turkey Bourbon 101. The Potato Mushroom Quiche and Chocolate Bomboloni complemented the Campari tasting, whilst the Italian Parma Ham & Melon was the perfect accompaniment to the InterContinental Negroni due to the complex but delicious structuring in these innovative curations. So Yummy!

Glenfiddich launches exclusive whisky cup collection with Jeanette Wee ‘Ceramics’ usually brings to mind a traditional medium, an artform practised by ancient masters – an outdated perception that Singaporean ceramicist Jeanette Adrienne Wee is determined to change. Bringing a modern touch to a traditional art form, Jeanette and Glenfiddich have launched the Glenfiddich New Dawn Singapore Collection – which takes the brand’s history of innovation and pairs it with Jeanette’s commitment to experimentation. The result is a collection that plays with the current approaches to drinking whisky. About the Collaboration Jeanette visited the Glenfiddich distillery in Dufftown, Scotland to learn more about the brand. During her visit, she was inspired by the brand’s history of experimentation and was struck by how whisky, much like pottery, has a long-standing set of rules and traditions – all of which can be challenged. Working with Brett Bayly, Glenfiddich’s Southeast Asian Ambassador, Jeanette set out to create a collection that plays with the current ways of drinking whisky while at the same time, takes cues from the elements and textures she encountered in the home of Glenfiddich. About the Collection To create the pieces, she paired her knowledge of Eastern ceramics with the whisky-drinking traditions and tools of the West. Grog And Glass – The cup’s black and grey exterior is inspired by the texture of the stone walls found all over Aberdeen. The cup’s unique shape is reminiscent of the Glenfiddich bottle’s signature shape, and its base includes melted glass to reflect the whisky’s colour. Porcelain In Light – Adding a twist to the iconically-shaped whisky nosing glass, Jeanette used porcelain for this piece to allow light to seep in through the base of the cup – allowing drinkers to appreciate the colour of the whisky while they’re sipping it. Stoneware Trio – Inspired by Sake drinkware, this set plays on the time-honoured practice of serving Glenfiddich neat. While the bottle is reminiscent of a sake bottle, the decanter is shaped like a whisky washback, and has been specially designed to lower the temperature of the whisky without affecting its integrity. Ash In Rock – For this piece, Jeanette took inspiration from the way whisky-drinkers swirl their glass to aerate the whisky. She wanted to add a light-hearted element to the collection, so this glass lets drinkers roll the glass and play with the whisky while they’re drinking it. Lovers of Glenfiddich stand a chance to win one of five pieces from Jeannette’s exclusive whisky cup collection, hand-picked by the ceramist herself. To enter, simply log on to the Glenfiddich’s Facebook account and follow the contest rules. The competition will run from 7 until 15 December 2019, with winners announced via Facebook from the week of 16 December onwards.

SMBC Singapore Open has Olympic ring to it SINGAPORE, JANUARY 13: Ten Olympians, including the gold, silver and bronze medallists, will tee it up at this week’s SMBC Singapore Open - a rarity in world golf. Major winners Justin Rose of England and Sweden’s Henrik Stenson took the gold and silver respectively at the Rio Olympics in 2016 when golf returned to the Games after an 112-year absence while American Matt Kuchar, a multiple winner on the PGA Tour, claimed the bronze. Australia’s Marcus Fraser tied for fifth spot while leading Japanese player Yuta Ikeda, who has won 21 times on his home tour. was (coincidentally enough) 21st equal. Brazil’s Adilson da Silva, a regular on the Asian Tour, and four Asian players - Danny Chia (Malaysia), SSP Chawrasia (India), Miguel Tabuena (Philippines) and Siddikur Rahman (Bangladesh) - represented their country at the Olympic tournament. The presence of so many Olympians headed by the three medallists is a coup for the SMBC Singapore Open and it further polishes its reputation, just two years after Spain’s Sergio Garcia arrived at Sentosa Golf Club as Masters champion. Rose was enthusiastic about being a part of Team GB as golf made its Olympic return and less than an hour into his opening round on the Barra da Tijuca course in Rio, he had a hole-in-one at the 189-yard par- 3 fourth hole - the first ever ace at the Games. “When you’re the first to do anything no one can ever take that away from you,” he said. “That was definitely a cool moment.” Rose went on to pip Stenson on the 18th hole of the final round after a titanic battle, for a memorable victory. “Oh my God, that felt better than anything I’ve ever won,” said Rose, after becoming Olympic golf’s first champion since Canada’s George Lyon at St Louis in 1904. American Kuchar stormed into bronze medal position with a best-of-the-day 63 that tied the Olympic course record. “It’s the happiest I’ve ever been to finish third,” said Kuchar, who finished three strokes behind Rose. “I’m just bursting with pride right now.” Malaysia’s Chia was pleased just to take part after a shoulder injury several years earlier had threatened to end his career. “I feel like I’m still dreaming,” said Chia, who was the oldest member of Malaysia’s Olympic contingent at aged 43, at the time. “It’s been a long journey, the last two years. From being not sure if I would ever play golf again to going to the Olympics. It’s just unbelievable.” The SMBC Singapore Open is jointly sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the Japan Tour with total prize money of US$1 million.
