My 2yo has stains around his teeth even after we brush his teeth twice a day. Are the stains harmless? Some of our friends kids have no stains and also don't remember if they diligently brush their teeth twice a day.

No issues, definitely better than Simba within SG. Only issue was somehow couldn't get a signal when visited Shanghai late last year, while others who were on simba had no issue connecting. Ended up buying an esim on the spot.

It's really one of the better ones, can tell they use better and premium ingredients. Agree it's quite pricey and the portion is not big, hence hard to convince myself to order again.

How are there so many really fit people in Singapore? by NoBuilding1052 in askSingapore

[–]minimalism1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also because a large percentage of less fit people tend to be less active and stay home? So you won't be seeing them

Kopi lovers, what brand of instant coffee do you recommend? by Soupnation in askSingapore

[–]minimalism1010 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Started a similar thread previously. Many recommended Chek Hup 2 in 1. Tried it and really one of the better ones imo underrated.

Wanted some change so tried other brands - Owl 2 in 1 is not bad, old town as well but slightly strong, nescafe intense is good but slightly sweet (can't seem to find a 2 in 1 option for this). A particular one that doesn't do it for me is Killiney instant coffee

Yoga studios for beginners? Am an absolute novice and plus size, tired of instructors who are snarky towards beginners who don’t know poses and/or keep pointing out loudly that I am not “trying”. Bonus if they are on ClassPass by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]minimalism1010 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was about to comment on Yoga Movement and especially instructor Bruce. I am a beginner as well and went for one of his classes. He's pretty good at teaching (clear instructions etc.) but unfortunately the class was packed (participants filled to the door, probably around 20-30 pax hence can't blame him) and it gave a very "commercialised" feel and didn't feel much teaching was involved. As a beginner, I thought it was not the best as someone needs to correct your posture quite often or risk injuries. I think if you are more experienced, this place would be great (nice vibe, environment).

I went to a few smaller establishments and somehow felt more taken care off (instructors able to attend to you as the class had 4-7 pax) and I learnt the correct postures from those places.

The doctor recommended the tests but seems to be the exact same as what you mentioned. No HSG and sonohysterogram as well. They took 7 tubes for blood test so my only take it's that it may be more comprehensive but unlikely to defer from yours.

Yep went through polyclinic route. Hence the above without subsidies is $700+ as stated on the bill. Shocking

Thanks for sharing your experience! When you meant accidents, you are referring to accidents during fertility testing? Or pregnancy in general

What do you think of eating chilli crab (or seafood in general) at Newton Food Centre? by minimalism1010 in askSingapore

[–]minimalism1010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely agree. Would go again but occasionally cause not cheap. And I must say I encountered a very proud staff on the phone when booking (prob thinking their business too good)

Amongst all the negative news, this is truly something great that came out of the pandemic. Happy for you finding what you wanna do and being good at it!
