{Sentimental Sundays} Happy 1st Blog Anniversary + GIVEAWAY ($100 Dining Voucher)!



Hello everyone! How is your Sunday? PinkyPiggu is getting all sentimental as this food and cooking blog is a year old today! I'm so happy that the decision to start blogging was finally made after reading a daily devotional on this day a year ago, and after spending the weekend working on the template, setting up PinkyPiggu's facebook page and of course writing, the first post was eventually published a few days later. TYL! (Read: About PinkyPiggu).

Besides simply sharing what I've eaten and what I've cooked on this blog, I've gained much weight from the whole experience, from new-found friendships with fellow bloggers, exciting discoveries of new eating places, media food tasting opportunities to the participation in Singapore Blog Awards 2013 and seeing consistent growth in readership and unique visitors.

I would not say mine is a successful blog yet, but this is definitely a personal success in being able to do what I like to do, with much happiness derived from it.


To celebrate PinkyPiggu's 1st blog anniversary and to thank you my dear readers for the support, I was thinking of doing a giveaway but was clueless what would be good. BFF suggested "a dinner date with PinkyPiggu". Haha a dinner date with me? But what if no one takes it up? Wouldn't it make me very malu (embarrassed)?!

So, I've decided to play safe and give away a $100 Dining Voucher from Bar-Roque Grill, a French inspired modern Rotisserie and Bar, instead. You can bring your loved one, family, friends (or bring me also can lah :p) to enjoy some delectable food by Chef Stephane. Bar-Roque Grill is one of my personal favorite restaurants and I hope you will enjoy the food there too. (Read: Bar-Roque Grill ~ An Exciting New Restaurant at Amara Hotel, Tanjong Pagar)

To join this GIVEAWAY, all you have to do is:
  1. LIKE PinkyPiggu's facebook page.
  2. SHARE this post on your facebook page.
  3. COMMENT below Which is your favorite PinkyPiggu post and Why?

ALL the 3 conditions have to be fulfilled to be eligible for the giveaway.
Do leave down your name and email address too.

This giveaway is open to my readers residing in Singapore only and will end on 7th September. One blessed winner will be picked by a random winner generator and name will be announced on PinkyPiggu's facebook page on 9th September.

Join now! You might very well be the winner!

Lastly, I wanna thank you, for being with me on this journey of Experiencelism & Experimentalism :)


With love,
Nicole Poi

  13. Celebrating the first anniversary of any venture or passion is definitely something that is a memorable milestone. It's something of a pin or a marker to look forward to more accomplishments and offer more exciting stuff after reflecting on the feedback given by people. So this is my favourite piece. (Sounds of champagne popping!)

  14. My favorite blog must be Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King Four Seasons. Its the picture that does it. Pink flowers with the pink dress and the rest follows without effort. I am a fan of your site and my son asks how you can eat so much and stay so slim. Its Magic....keep going please, you are really onto something here that will make you happy for years to come.....
