STATUS: saving and reviewing

Hi there! Welcome to my page, The Curious Reviewer!

WHO AM I?

Hi, I'm KC from Singapore! I'm just a curious one and I love buying things that are totally worth their value. It's important to me. I think saving is a beautiful virtue - it's not just about reducing expenses, but also about reducing consumption and wastage, thereby helping to preserve resources!

I started this site because I often find myself asking, “Is this actually worth it?” I usually spend time reading reviews before buying something, and sometimes still feel unsure. So I thought, why not share my own take, in case someone else is wondering the same thing?

Don't expect formal reviews! 🤭 The reviews you will find here are simple, honest, and written with a personal touch, from one curious consumer to another. :)

Let me also take the opportunity to say this:

To the wonderful people who take the time to write insightful reviews and share their honest opinions — thank you!

Flair Pistachio Kunafa Dubai Chocolate Cake Bar Review

RATING: 3 ★ | At a glance... "Viral" Dubai Chocolate's distant cousin? The Flair Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate Cake Bar has a fairly average overall flavor, with noticeable notes of pistachio. Taste: 3 /5 Is it worth it: No for me. It just feels like an average chocolate cake bar snack with pistachio flavor.

McDonald's Singapore: Chilli Crab Burger Review - Mushy Prawn Patty

RATING: 3.6 ★ | At a glance... Tangy and tasty chilli crab sauce, but the amount was disappointing. Prawn patty was a bit mushy. The burger was delicious, but not worth its price. Taste: 3.6 /5 Is it worth it: Not quite worth it. Depends if you enjoy trying novelty food. A bit expensive for its unimpressive quality.

FIFINE K690 USB Condenser Microphone Review - Is it Good?

Is the microphone good? Yes, really good! I’ve been using the Fifine K690 microphone for 5 years and it has served me well over the years! My purpose of buying this microphone: I’m a huge fan of ASMR and sounds in general, so I wanted to have a stereo/binaural microphone to play around with sounds.

The Fifine K690 USB microphone features 4 polar patterns, making it suitable for various scenarios such as: podcasts, recording vocals (singing), voiceovers, recording instruments, gaming, streaming (e.g. Twitch), content creation, face-to-face interviews, conference calls and ASMR. The 4 polar patterns (modes) on the Fifine K690 are: Stereo, Omnidirectional, Cardioid and Bidirectional.
