Shabu Sai Enters The Heart Of Town With New Outlet At ORCHARD CENTRAL

Hi Huneybees,

Are you big fans of Japanese cuisine like me? Here's the good news! 

SHABU SAI, an authentic Japanese restaurant that serves all-you-can-eat Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki buffet, is poised to present a delightful dining experience at affordable prices but at a premium location with the opening of its newest outlet in Orchard Central.

The 7th restaurant managed by Create Restaurants Asia Pte Ltd, SHABU SAI’s newest outlet, that spans 3,600 sq ft and sits up to 170 diners, sees new additions of seafood and sushi items to its buffet spread compared to the restaurant’s first outlet at Causeway Point, which opened in December 2012.

With the word “Shabu” derived from the sound produced when ingredients are swished in the hotpot and “SAI” referring to vegetables, SHABU SAI, as the name suggests, offers the perfect place for a hearty yet balanced meal that will satiate any palate, all at wallet-friendly prices.

Serving up seven tasty soup bases and a splendid array of more than 60 items on the buffet table, the must-try SHABU SAI specialities include the Tonkotsu soup base, prepared using the same formula as the restaurant’s outlets in Japan, the Sukiyaki soup base that offers a flavourful stock for the freshest ingredients to simmer in, as well as signature items such as the pork, beef or chicken served in bamboo, where the bamboo’s anti-bacterial properties protect the freshness of the minced meat.

In addition, Shabu-shabu lovers can also look forward to the special soup bases introduced every two months for a limited period, which feature tantalising flavours such as Spicy Kimchi soup and Yuzu Salt Beauty hotpot that is infused with collagen goodness.

With a primary use of dark brown wood and stone for the restaurant’s interior, the new outlet exudes a modern Japanese setting that immerses diners in an unpretentious environment to complement the authentic Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki experience that they can expect at SHABU SAI.

The buffet is priced attractively as follows:

[What's New] Anna Sui Secret Wish (Fairy Dance)

Hi Huneybees,

Starring model Frida Gustavsson as a whimsical fairy bursting with pink and peach crochet, sparkles and flowers for the face of Anna Sui Fairy Dance perfume launch.

Escaping into a fantasy garden where Fairies flit and dance, I imagine a happy place, shimmering with sunlight and fun. Pink roses bloom all around, magical butterflies dart in and out of rainbows, music is in the air.

My girlfriends and I join the fairies in the dance. It is like dreaming with your whole body and then magic happens! The child in us has blossomed again! We recapture memories that will never be forgotten. Special moments of shared secrets and laughter.

Silly moments of endless fun. Happy moments, lighthearted and carefree. We feel girly and giggly, playful and fearless. We dance and celebrate our beautiful friendship! If we ever leave this enchanted place, we will keep the joy and happiness with us. . . until we return! 

Dance to the rhythm of your heart. 

Do a little fairy dance too!

Anna Sui has launched a new fragrance and adding to the Secret Wish range is Fairy Dance. Not only will you own your own little fairy, she can also grant you a wish! Simply rub the corner embossed pattern 3 times and hold the bottle to you heart and make a wish!

Introducing Anna Sui Fairy Dance!

A voluptuous shape, round in the hand, elegant on the vanity. This all-new flacon captures the three-sided dimples of the original Secret Wish bottle, with the fairy perched on top, but it is curvier, smoother, and definitely luxurious. The precious potion radiates from within, a soft peachy juice that captures the sunlight of the garden.

Soft peach, orange and pink strike a new note, as the carton tells the story. The original fairy figure is joined with friends, as they dance on the side, and flutter all around the box. They dance in the sun under a rainbow of flowers, their hair adorned with floral crowns. The carton shimmers, like fairy mist in the sunlight, with signature embossing that makes the story come to life. 

At the event, I was treated to pretty Anna Sui drinks, sweet!!!

I had a lovely ice cream made from the perfume's ingredients too!

Imagine a sunny afternoon in an enchanted rose garden. The warmth of the sun. The rosy/fruity smell of the air. The deep, delicious scent of the forest just beyond.

Fairy Dance opens with sparkling top notes of Tangerine, Mango and Pink Pepper, surprising the senses at every turn. At its heart, there is the rose, always the rose, Anna Sui’s favorite flower. Balanced by Peony and Bamboo, it creates a fresh, radiant warmth. Sandalwood, Vetiver and Vanilla form the base notes, yielding surprising seduction to a fragrance that is playful, fun, and magical! 

TOP NOTE	HEART NOTE	BASE NOTE
Tangerine Mango Pink Pepper	Rose Peony Bamboo	Sandalwood Vetiver Vanilla

After wearing Fairy Dance for over a week:

I was immediately enraptured by the richness and depth of Fairy Dance. The combination of mandarin and the floral spiciness of the pink pepper makes the perfume a very romantic and girly fragrance. There's a tinge of sexiness with the rich roses and peonies as well as refreshing with the bamboo. This rosy woody combo makes the heart of the perfume feel very beautiful and sensual.

The perfume is very light, but it isn’t as overtly-youthful as the packaging and campaign would have you believe. It’s a beautiful, loveable scent. I recommend you try Fairy Dance. For those of you who are looking to try a new fragrances for the warm season, Fairy Dance might very well be your summer days’ best friend. I know it’ll be mine. ♥

The Secret Wish Woman......

The Secret Wish woman has not strayed far off course. She has the same dreams. But life is going quickly, always so much to do, so many promises to keep. And now she yearns for the things that are lasting and real. She wants to rejoice and feel the glow of happiness. So she returns to her beloved fairies. The Joy Fairies. And something magical happens. As they take her hand to dance, she remembers the special people in her life, the special moments, the secrets shared, the joy of pure friendship. Her true, close-to-heart friends. These are the memories she can hold onto, as a special celebration of life! Her wish has been granted, as she joins in the fairy dance. And when she emerges, she is lighthearted, carefree, and ready to find her life’s greatest pleasures.

• 30ml S$64
