Feeling fat from savouring Singapore's never-ending food options? Want to work out but just can't seem to get your engine started? Or not willing to miss your favourite TV show because of gym?

Fret not. The OSIM uTrek is literally the best invention ever for couch potatoes (a.k.a the laziest people in the world who really know that they should work out to keep fit but never bothered finding time for it).

The machine comes with six different speeds, but you can choose the "type" of climb you want. Most importantly, it is a trekking machine. You can hike up Bukit Timah hill while fixing your eyes on your channel 8 drama. Killing two birds with one stone! No time wasted, and you get the best of both worlds.

This machine may not look it, but it will definitely make you break a sweat.
For storing purposes, you can fold it and slide it under beds or store in a corner.

I would recommend it to busy workaholics who have no time for the gym but possess a fervent desire to keep fit. Also, for people who are afraid of the sun and insects, you can trek at home and tone that ass in the comfort of your home.

No more reason for my mom to slack when watching her favourite dramas!


My mom's thoughts and review:

After giving birth to Jem, work and fatigue made me put on weight. Over time, diabetes also came with age, together with the lack of diet control and exercise. 


With the arrival of uTrek, I'm pleased to say that it is a stone that kills two birds. It is a breeze to watch tv while exercising! It is also user friendly and a storage after using is a walk in the park.


The gradient is standard but comes with 6 different speeds for everyone in the family.

Last but not least, thank you OSIM and The Influencer Network for sending me uTrek.


Burn fats, burn!


By the way, some good news to share!

Yorijori Singapore has one thing in mind, which is to bring a authentic and exciting Korean dinning experience for everyone. Customers have the option to choose to be seated in the air-conditioned store or out at their alfresco area(10% discount will be given if you dine outside at the alfresco area during rainy days).

At the store, apart from the chicken and vegetables, everything else were imported from Korea.
Yes, EVERYTHING! Soup bases, rice, tables and even kpop stars...
... watch their MTVs on the huge LCD screens that is.




반찬(Korean Side Dishes)





All the side dishes are complimentary upon ordering any main dish. Both were really tasty and similar to what you would actually get in local shops in Korea. The kimchi had the right level of spice and sourness which will get any appetite kicking.


Main Dishes
Spicy Chicken & Squid Roast
$15

Spicy Pork, Chicken & Squid Roast
$15

Both the Spicy Chicken & Squid Roast and Spicy Pork, Chicken & Squid Roast could easily feed 3-4pax per dish. They are pretty affordable and I would recommend Spicy Pork, Chicken & Squid Roast instead as for the same price you would have more variety.


Special Fried Rice
$6

This is kimchi fried rice and it taste like how a kimchi fried rice should be. Do order if you need the extra carbs. Or else it'll just be an overpriced plate of rice.

Seafood Pancake 
$12

I felt that the seafood pancake had the right amount of crisp on the outside and moisture on the inside. A very good dish to have as a starter and not forgetting that the sauce compliments the pancake really well.



Steamed Egg
$5

The steamed egg faired poorly with clumpy texture, bland egg taste with a heavy MSG aftertaste from the soup broth.





Spicy Rice Cake
$12



Spicy Army Stew
$14

A must order for any die hard Korean food lovers! Best eaten on cold or rainy days.



Korean BBQ

For BBQ it is either buffet or nothing. Sadly, the store only offers it a la carte. 


Makgulli
$18

This milky alcohol from Korea is traditionally made from rice and pairs perfectly with BBQ meats similar to Soju, the stronger brother. Prices are steep for both makgulli and soju in Singapore with about 12 times the price difference. It'll be better off enjoying the alcoholic beverages in Korea!

Watermelon Soju

Food for thought: Although trending in most Korean-themed eateries in Singapore, word from a Korean is that there isn't such a thing back in there because watermelons cost around an average os S$25 in Korea. Overall taste exactly the same from all the other similar outlets as they use the same watermelon and the same soju.
