B1 Food Cafe at Dongdaemun Seoul Review

As agreed, i will tell you the full story of my encounter at this eatery...

Most of the time, what draws our attention to a eating place are the beautiful photos of the food. As it was the many nights into our trip so we decided to try something different from our usual eating place.

Entering this cafe, you are greeted by a lady who do not really seems to be happy that an customer is coming in to disrupt her peace. Throwing down the menu, she went back to where she was sitting and continued watching her show. Still, that was ok, so we went ahead to order what we want.

Then while waiting for our food, i heard the neighbouring customer who just went to make payment commented "Why this lady so rude one?" So i was prepared for whatever pattern the lady is going to have towards my table.

Food came, they look far from the photo. Dumpling Ramen (with 5-6 dumplings in the photo) only came with 2 dumplings. Kimchi soup with white rice, turned out to be yam rice. So my friend tried to ask her if they have white rice instead, pointing to the photo.

She rudely pointed that the following part of the menu, rolled her eyes and walked away. Went to the older lady who is doing all the cooking and started to complain about us asking for what is shown in the photo.. *confused*

Here's what she pointed to:


I'm sure many of you are thinking, where is this cafe? I'm glad you asked. Below is the name and logo of this food cafe. It's located at Dongdaemun near Good Morning City Shopping Mall. :) Eat at your own risk.

IKEA Molger Shelf Review

Many people saw my photo on this Ikea Molger shelf and commented so i decided to do a review on this! So here are my thoughts and review on this IKEA Molger Shelf, if you are intending to get one!

Firstly, i think it is a very good idea to utilise the 'unusable' space that is taken up by the toilet bowl. Many times, we try to put things on toilet bowl box where the plush button is and hope that they don't drop. When i saw this at IKEA i loved the idea!

So here's my unbiased review:
- It can only be used again a flat wall with nothing behind the toilet bowl. There a lot of toilet nowadays with this kind of built-in backing and make sure your tap is not in the way. So make sure you take your measurement properly.

- The shelf is VERY light hence, it is easy to fix and put it up. However, with its light weigh, it is IMPORTANT to ensure that the shelf is level properly by adjusting the legs as shown below.

If you have not realised, all our toilet floor is slanted so that water can be drained away. So every bit counts. Ensure that the shelf is properly fitted before putting anything on it.

- If you want to be very safe, you can get the shelf drilled to the wall.

Personally i don't like to drill things into my wall so i just have to make sure the legs are accurately adjusted. :)

- The shelf levels CANNOT be adjusted. So it limits the height of the items you can place on this shelf. There are also gaps, not very big though so you don't have worry that your handphone will drop through but please do not put small accessories pieces hoping that they will not roll off into the toilet bowl.

- Lastly, value for money? In the image below i have included the image of the code and measurement for you, for easy reference and you can just show the IKEA staff for purchase.

I personally think that S$99 for this is a bit expensive compared to the many other cheap shelving they have. For the idea of using an 'unusable' space, i still bought it anyway. If you are expecting very high quality wood or product because of the price you are paying... Not really... in fact there were some visible scratch marks already on it.

Hope this review helps you to make the decision and also for you to get all the measurements ready before making a wasted trip down to the nearest IKEA. :)

Dorra Slimming Experience Review

Class 95 have been giving out free 2x Dorra Slimming French treatment. I have always been curious about whether these companies are really giving them "FREE". So i decided to give it a try. After sending in the SMS, Dorra Slimming contacted me almost immediately. You won't have to worry that you are not the first to SMS in and you will not win it or etc.

After calling me, they arranged for me to go down to their nearest convenient outlet as soon as possible. No matter how busy you are, they will make sure they arrange a timing with you before you can hang up on them.

I went to the outlet at Kovan. I told them that i only had 1 and a half hours and they say that the treatment will only take an hour and asked me not to worry, then one lady brought me to a consultation room and asked me to wait for awhile. Handing me a form to fill in. The therapist came in and started to explain to me their treatment... then all the different products... then all the available packages and upgrades you can do... still not convinced?

and since you are the 'winner' of this Dorra Slimming from the radio station, you have even more privileges if you upgrade NOW~! Still not convinced? Another senior came in and started all over again... then they took out all the testimonies of the past customers and show them to me one by one... One hour had past from the time i entered the shop and i have not even started my treatment... I told them i am in a rush and had an appointment after this, they say that they will start the treatment.

Finally, i am brought into the treatment room. After taking all the measurements, i am laying on the bed waiting for the treatment to start. The therapist did not for any moment stop trying to convince me to sign up. Asking me why? Why i don't want to give it a try? The 2 treatment will not be enough and the 2 free treatment DOES NOT come with this serum and without the serum, you WILL NOT see results. So if you sign up now, they will upgrade your 2 sessions to have the serum as well.

I was wondering... then what am i doing here now? anyway, she went on and on and on... halfway through, the other senior came in AGAIN! The treatment was not enjoyable at all with them going on and on and on.... They started of with trying to sell me 30, then 20 then 10... going on and on for almost 2 hours now.....

I thought, finally my treatment is finishing and i can rush for my next appointment now... (it's already been 2 and a half hours by this time) After the treatment, i'm back in the consultation room. Then it starts AGAIN!!!!!!! This time the senior tries to make the junior look pitiful, saying that she needs to build her portfolio. Saying that the junior served me very well just now right? I can help her by signing up and becoming part of her portfolio etc. Pleased with me to help her etc.. I told them I AM IN A RUSH!!! but they say they understand... and went on... in the end, i gave in and signed for a 5 sessions. Even with that, i had to bargain with them so that they will give in and let me go...

Seriously, unless you are really willing to go and end up paying that kind of price for slimming treatments... i think the decision is up to you... After leaving, i did my research. I hope i did them earlier but i'm still thankful that i only signed for 5 sessions. I found people who signed for $50K worth of treatments and they still would not let them go during every single treatment sessions they attended.

At the end of the day, i wondered if i 'WON' or i actually 'LOST'... Was there results in the treatment? that did not matter to me anymore because the experience was just unpleasant. I this my worse hard selling experience ever. This is also the reason why i love and cherish those people do business with true sincerity and out of love. :)
