Sugar rush day at Belgische Chocolatier

Everyone loves chocolate!

No matter age, religion, gender etc, chocolate does not discriminate haha

And if you're like me where chocolate is life, you would love Belgische Chocolatier situated just right at Kiara 163- I call it the Mont Kiara's Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory hahaha because once you enter and see the splashes of chocolate designs on the wall, you will feel right at home *laughs*

Welcoming us right at front were the three chocolate fountains of white chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate. I can feel myself salivating now. My favourite out of all was the milk chocolate.

Ok so if you're wondering, it's pronounced as Bel-Gis-Cher =)

Belgische Chocolatier gets their source of chocolate from Belgium. Yes, it's all imported quality chocolates. They sourced from Callebaut, one of the finest Belgian Chocolate.

The fresh fruits topped with dripping chocolate sauce was da bomb.com.

The slight sourness mixed with the chocolate sweetness was just perfect.

Happy me =)

Now, let's get on to the menu of Belgische Chocolatier. All of their desserts are 100% customised and hand made.

Belgium's Finest (RM28)

Waffles coated with Belgian Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate. The rich texture of the chocolate combined with their secret waffle recipe will blow you away. And it did! The waffle was not soggy although it was soaked with chocolate and was the perfect crisp together with the sweetness of the chocolate melted in it.

Designer Chocolate Crepe (RM20.90)

A French-style crepe coated with mouth watering signature milk chocolate.
If you would like to know why their pastries are so good, it's in their secret ingredient- Butter. They use only the highest grade butter and you can really taste how good it is in their dishes.

Different designs with the very same yummy crepe.

Three Musketeers (RM18.90)

Three shot glasses of milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate to satisfy the chocoholic cravings. My gawd! I have never heard of chocolate shots before hehe and it was soo gooood!!!

One white chocolate shot and I think I can run a marathon. It was a real 'wake up' shot because it was really 'kaw' and you can really feel the finest chocolate right in your taste bud. Definitely my favourite but also definitely for sharing!

French Fries Churros (RM15)

Freshly made churros served with signature chocolate sauce.

As I was saying about their butter, it's the most prominent in their churros. Super soft, fluffy and quite frankly, the best churros I've tasted! Belgische Chocolatier do not stinge on their ingredients and are notable in your taste buds with their premium grade quality element.

Square Root Brownies (RM28)
Bite sized brownie pieces covered in their signature velvety chocolate sauce. Ohh, the brownie was soft, rich and with the chocolate sauce, it was a chocolate party in my mouth.

Street Waffle (RM15)

Waffles coated in multiple chocolates served on a stick, similar to having street food experience. The 3 types of chocolate sauce with the waffle was a smashing combo.

Triple Heart Doughnut (RM18)

Three heart shaped doughnut coated in three different types of chocolate.
Aww, this would be a perfect ending dessert to a romantic night out.

Fettucine Crepe (RM20.90)

Strips of Fettucine served with velvety chocolate sauce and your choice of ice cream. Now, this is one unique dish. Almost like eating 'roti canai' dipping with 'curry (chocolate) sauce' and ice cream hehe

Krispy Bowl (RM15)

Chocolate sauce with rice krispies below it. I quite loved it. It's like having a bowl of cereal but with guilty pleasures of chocolates on top hehe

Volcanic Lava Cake (RM22)

Moist chocolate cake which holds a delicious creamy filling with a side ice cream of your choice. You can choose from chocolate, vanilla or strawberry ice cream.

 The lava cream was rich, creamy and oozes out once you cut it open. #foodporn alert 

Chocolate Sushi Crepe (RM25)

Strawberries, cream, rice krispies and chocolate sauce all wrapped in mini crepes.
This was created by one of their in house chef and to be honest, I really like chocolate with fruits so this combo plus the crepe was quite refreshing.

Walnut Brownie (RM28)

Walnut and textural variety to this freshly made brownie.
The walnut crunch added an additional texture to the brownie.

Sizzling brownie (RM29)

A freshly made brownie served on a hot pan with ice cream paired with chocolate sauce.

That sizzles- another #foodporn alert.

They do have a variety of drinks as well and one of their signature is the Justin Metcalf, the Australian World Barista Judge, who happens to be Australia’s most recognized Coffee & Café consultants.

This coffee is specially blended by Justin Metcalf, freshly roasted and packed in Australia. The quality coffee beans are packed with nitrogen-flushed to maintain freshness and flavour. 

I was such a happy kid in Belgische Chocolatier. It ignited the child in me ^_^

Come get all sugar -rushed in this small cozy cafe with all the yummy-licious dessert offerings here.

Classy Galaxy Note Phone case

You know how it is always a headache to buy someone a gift? I'm the type where I can browse through 10 websites, list of ideas of what to buy and still come up with nothing LOL. I guess I'm fussy when it comes to gifts for my close friends.

I was looking for a nice Samsung Galaxy Note 10 phone case for a very good friend of mine because she was just complaining the other day about how she couldn't find a suitable phone case as the ones in shops are of low quality and she wanted something multifunctional. A good phone case should not only protect the phone from drops, scratches or impacts, but it should also be useful.

I was browsing for a Samsung Galaxy Note 10 phone cases in US Amazon and stumbled upon this classy chic design from Toplive.

So luxurious looking with genuine cowhide leather. I like how it looks slim and not bulky. It is described to have precise cutouts to allow free full access to all ports, sensors, speakers, cameras and buttons without removing the casing.

But the inside was what got me sold.

It's not just an ordinary phone case holder. It is also a card holder and can be a purse. The built-in card pockets and note holder really do come in handy especially when you just want to go out for a quick lunch without bringing your entire handbag. All essentials in one casing!

There's also a pocket in front for bus/train card.

Plus not to worry, the casing is closed with a strong magnet closure to keep everything intact.

 Even better is the support function for those who love watching dramas in their phone. Plus it has convenient viewing angles for comfortability. It gives more freedom for the hands.

The phone case doesn't hinder wireless charging as well so it's very convenient.

It comes in an alternative classic black colour.

I think it's a sleek design for men.

There are many more cases to be browsed through. There's a special 50% coupon codes for purchase of Samsung Galaxy Note 10/10+ Case as below:

Samsung Galaxy Note 10 case: 5CGD-5UVL4A-FWT4AH

Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G case: XCL5-GY4XXM-9NU7AC

Expires 31st August 2019

The best part? Toplive is giving a ONE year warranty for the phone case. How cool is that?

If you're looking for a really sturdy looking and multi functional phone case, I must say theirs look very promising! With that 50% discount promotional code, it's a very good saving indeed. Enjoy shopping!

MAGGI® CukupRasa Tak Kenal, Tak Cinta campaign

MAGGI® CukupRasa is embarking on an exciting new campaign, ‘Never Try, Never Know’ or ‘Tak Kenal, Tak Cinta’, aimed at empowering Malaysian women from all walks of life to overcome barriers. The campaign also introduced MAGGI® CukupRasa’s new brand ambassador, Instagram-famous home cook Datin Paduka Eina Azman.

 With the tall and gorgeous Datin Paduka Eina Azman.

Well-known for her popular homemade cooking videos, Eina’s fighting spirit and strong will continuously inspire her following of over 1.7 million Malaysians, encouraging them to try their hand at cooking simple homemade dishes, which represents what the new campaign is all about.

The campaign kicked off at MyTOWN Shopping Centre, Kuala Lumpur. The campaign inspires women to have the courage to take that first step to try new things. This can have a positive impact and help people learn and grow, which is embodied in the brand’s proposition of ‘Never Try, Never Know’. 

This is so apt for me. One year ago I would have never imagined myself cooking every other day for my family. I have never cooked more than just maggi mi or fried rice in my life HAHHA. But now, I'm surprised at the extend of dishes I can cook and be creative in my cooking. So yes, the tagline, 'Never Try, Never Know' is really true. And if you're like me, never cooked before, don't be scared to try.

 If you cook at home, you would be very familiar with MAGGI® CukupRasa seasoning. The all-in-one seasoning is every housewife's secret ingredient to elevate the taste of homemade dishes as it is made with a unique blend of fresh garlic, onion, ikan bilis and other spices. On top of this, by adding in MAGGI® CukupRasa into your dish, there is no need to add additional salt!

The campaign launch saw Chef Muluk, Nestlé Corporate Executive Chef, and Eina Azman in a cooking session, along with other guests. We bloggers also had the opportunity to try embrace our culinary talents and try out some of the recipes. 

  

 Apron on and it's time to do some cooking.

After being a wife and cooking at home, I have more confident in this cooking session. 

 

   Joining in was my husband who was my co-chef hehe

The first time ever attending such cooking session and with our team work...

...we managed to whip up Nasi Goreng Cina, Sayur Goreng Campur and Sambal Ayam Petai following Eina and Chef Muluk's instructions. 

Ta-dah! 

The common ingredient is the MAGGI® CukupRasa seasoning which is a must in all the dishes and it really heighten the flavour of the dishes. We had a fun time cooking up 3 dishes and learning new cooking skills.

 

 The roadshow will head to 10 other states including Kelantan, Terengganu and Penang among others. For more information on MAGGI® CukupRasa’s latest campaign, please visit www.maggi.com.my.

Faber Castell x cartoonist LAT

Grip X, a product by Faber-Castell Malaysia today celebrates the diversity of Malaysia with LAT, Malaysia’s favourite cartoonist.

 The event was held at Balai Seni Negara.

The Grip X, a pen that is designed for all walks of life became Malaysia’s favourite ballpen and a pen that is loved by all races since its launch in 2010. One piece is sold every 3 seconds and with a total of 11 million pieces sold in 2018. It is an affordable feature-packed ballpen that comes with the following features: 

• super smooth due to its low viscosity ink technology 

• writing comfort attributed by its ergonomic design with a triangular grip barrel 

• a retractable mechanism

The Grip X is popular for various usages including writing, doodling and sketching. Comes in point sizes of 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 1.0, and with three colour options of black, blue as well as red – it is no wonder that the Grip X is a bestseller.

I got a cartoonist to draw a portrait of me at the event using the Grip X pen. 

 Not bad at all.

All these while I thought that pen is only used for writing. Little did I know that it can be used for drawing too!

The celebration unveils three of LAT’s exclusive drawings on Malaysia’s festivities i.e Hari Raya, Deepavali and Chinese New Year, hand-drawn using Malaysia’s favourite ballpen, the Grip X.

  3,2,1...

 TA-DAH

LAT used the Grip X with a combination of different point sizes in black, blue and red to produce the three pieces of drawings i.e Hari Raya, Deepavali and Chinese New Year celebrations. Three of these festivals represent the major races in Malaysia and they will be used on Faber-Castell Malaysia’s social media platforms.

 Cannot imagine how he drew all of these with just pens!

It's definitely harder I think drawing with pen than wet ink.

He even did some live drawings in front of us.

Mr Andrew Woon, the Managing Director of Faber-Castell Malaysia, said the celebration of Grip X’s success as well as the collaboration with LAT, is also held in conjunction with the Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day celebrations. 

According to Woon, LAT is an ideal partner for this celebration because he is an iconic Malaysian cartoonist that is loved by all Malaysians. Grip X does share some similar traits with LAT in terms of its popularity among Malaysians, a truly Malaysian product and most importantly a tool that is used to express creativity. 

Working with Faber-Castell Malaysia on this project, LAT expressed delight and said this project is in line with his work which illustrates the Malaysian way of life. He mentioned Grip X worked great for his illustrations especially with its various point sizes which are ideal for creating various stroke sizes. 

The Grip X with LAT’s cartoon is available nationwide at all bookstores, departmental stores and hypermarkets with multiple pack forms from the buy 3 get 1 free promo pack, the normal pack of 3 and the 40 pieces tub.
