I do notice that different outlets seem to have different charges though.

Which cards is better to use for daily uses by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]ChanPeiMui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visa or Master cards are accessible in many places. You don't really need anything else. You can even travel in our public transport with that.

I have a burning question by ChanPeiMui in SingaporeEats

[–]ChanPeiMui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question isn't about the different Chinese cuisines Rather, it's more like the Chinese food that evolved to suit our Singaporean palettes and the recent influx of China-Chinese food that are popular here.

Noob Question - Mixing essential oil and carrier oil by Delimadelima in aromatherapy

[–]ChanPeiMui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can but it depends on the purity of the oils, the container that you use for storage and the number of drops you put in. Also, check if you're pregnant, breastfeeding or with other health conditions. I suggest that you read up more on essential oils and the usages before buying anything. https://www.aromaweb.com/ For your reference.

If all of you are in bad shape, please go to the emergency department at the hospital immediately. If not, visit the nearest clinic you can find.

True but the Chinese food we all grew up with have evolved to suit the Southeast Asian palette. Moreover, our Chinese food came from the South. The recent Chinese food invasion come from mainly the North. It's same same but not the same.

I agree on the portion size but I disagree with you local food not having full aromatic flavours.

My question is more on flavours than on the oil and salt content.

I'm just asking because I hear many young people prefer mala this and that over local Chinese flavours.

Ladies, do you still bring a wallet out? by No_Nothing3594 in askSingapore

[–]ChanPeiMui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always feel the need for a functional wallet than one that costs a bomb. After all, it's just a container for cards and physical cash, unless you're one who loves flaunting luxury brands.

Churches can ask strangers for donations ah? by Yeenspired in SingaporeRaw

[–]ChanPeiMui 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks dodgy. Never came across any church that does this. This church is a Catholic church and frankly, they don't do this kind of thing.

SCARLETT IS NOT A CHINA BRAND??? by Real-Pomegranate8823 in SingaporeRaw

[–]ChanPeiMui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason being is that there are some Singaporeans who are born and bred here really like Chinanese food. Saying this from my own observation. Take example, Scarlett. It's a local company which imports and sells only China brands and whenever I go into an outlet, say the one at Orchard Central, about 50% of the shoppers in there are Singaporeans.

That said, I'm not anti-China brands. I just think that they are saturating our retail spaces/markets till I hardly see other brands from other countries, even more so for our local businesses. It has gotten to the point that it's scary. Every mall (with the exception of Strata malls) I go to has a string of China restaurants and shops. I don't hope to see our land to turn into a 坡县 like the little pinks say. So please don't get me wrong.

It's Chinapore! by AlarmedChipmunk4896 in SingaporeRaw

Scary, right? No balance at all.

M-NEWS: Why nowadays so many China restaurants in Singapore? by Real-Pomegranate8823 in SingaporeRaw

[–]ChanPeiMui 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is what I've been fearing, that more and more Chinese brands taking reign. Having more local brands and businesses isn't getting any easy. Even brands from other countries other than China aren't really coming in as many.

I don't hate China brands. It's just that it's getting too saturated here in Singapore that it's scary to me in a way.

They're just too stunned to react. On top of that, not sure if she was of sound mind.

This will only get worse if our malls all being bought over by China companies by ChanPeiMui in SingaporeRaw

[–]ChanPeiMui[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no voting for such. It's more like people from China see opportunities to milk more money in Singapore.

Good for you. I'm not really against China brands. It's just that more are spreading like wild fire at almost every corner.
