Hehehe… It’s been a while no chocolate update πŸ˜› Now let me introduce Zesty Praline Squares to you. When you see the word “zesty”, the first thing comes to you must be something related to orange, lime or lemon. It’s not all sweet, you can feel the zest in there.

The descriptions on the pack is enough to tell you what is it, “nibbly praline with tiny pieces of almond nougetine and zesty orange”.

Do I need to say more? Hehehe… I ate so slowly until the whole thing melted on my fingers. By the way, it’s another guest recipe from Hotel Chocolat.

Starbucks @ KIA

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Starbucks @ KIA

Bearista: I’m coming! This afternoon Irene brought me to Starbucks at KIA. Finally I came out from my box for so many years.

Irene: Hehehe… This bear is given to me by Ben as my birthday present, not the Ben here πŸ˜› It’s the Ben from KL who is in Melbourne now. Was given to me about hmm… 5 or 6 years ago? He worked part time at Starbucks. He gave me this because his colleague commented that the bear looked like him *LOL* He’s one of my online friends.


Starbucks at KIA is situated at the departure hall which is upstair. Just next to KFC.



Some of the things inside Starbucks. Friendly staff. I was told that they are currently training the local lads and those serving you now are support team from KL and KK. The wifi is not ready yet because of the delay by the contractor.


Left: The serviette.
Right: Bearista wants some too!
Java Chip(venti means large), RM15.50. It’s ice blended coffee with chocolate chips and whipped cream(optional). It’s really really really thick and sweet! -.-“
“Signature” Hot Chocolate(tall means small), RM9.50. Very rich milk and bittersweet chocolate, steamed with milk. It’s really really nice! I love it! Best to drink it when it’s hot. When it’s cold, it’s really very sweet hahaha… No kidding, it’s really rich! Whipped cream is optional. It’s nicer with whipped cream.

See Bearista in action!

Hmm…
I’m going to drink it now… But… But… My hand is too small πŸ™ I want to sip it but I’ll have chocolate and whipped cream all over me πŸ™


Sigh… Can’t drink, I’ll just sit and let Irene finish her drink. Aiks… I’m naked! I didn’t wear underwear except my apron! I saw my friends in the basket near the counter, they were wearing white t-shirt and apron! I need to wear something too!!

You will surely get quality coffee at Starbucks. I saw how they trained the staff. WOW! Really strict. They even have a scale to weigh the coffee, it must be of certain weigh, too heavy or too light will make or break the coffee. Very strict quality control indeed. Not sure Coffeebean is like this or not hahaha… I never step there yet πŸ˜›

By the way, there will be tax charged.

Falling For Me?

Posted on By sweet surrender 8 Comments on Falling For Me?

Think twice! πŸ˜› The quiz just stated that I would choose money than love πŸ˜› Hahaha… What about you? How accurate is this? Hehehe…


You Would Choose Money


You know that love doesn’t always last forever – but money can.
Why bother with jealousy, petty fights, and hurt feelings?
You rather just go shopping!
And while marrying for money may be lonely, you’ll always be well dressed, well traveled, and well fed.

***

Next, I took another quiz. It’s been a while not doing any quiz hahaha… I will let you fall for me together with your money *LOL* Scare already? Hahaha… With the result… No wonder… *BLEK* Usually they fall for me but I don’t fall for them because they are just not my type.


You Can Make 61% of Your Crushes Fall in Love With You


Your seduction skills are practically legendary. You know how to close the deal.
Just don’t let someone you’re really into get the better of you!
As long as you keep up your end of the flirting game, you’ll get the prize at the end.

***

Have fun with the quiz! There are a lot in Blogthings.com. Hehehe.. I did a lot last time and I copied and pasted my results in Notepad in case I ran out of thing to blog but at the end I deleted them.

Me, myself and I

The Lack Of Food Porn

Posted on By sweet surrender 28 Comments on The Lack Of Food Porn

I know.. I know… I haven’t give you enough food porn lately. Belt a bit tight this month, that’s why I have those paid posts πŸ˜› Just some updates on what I’m doing these few days.

1. ANNOUNCEMENT!
Some of you know that there will be a gathering this 21st July(hopefully we can have it on this date) for bloggers. The problem we are having now is where should we have it? I really have no idea. It’s going to be a sponsored bloggers’ meet. Any idea? Where? Preferably a place where you can get them to prepare food and drinks with given budget instead of letting bloggers order whatever they want, we cannot do that to our sponsor, bankrupt later. So be considerate πŸ™‚ Or you know the owner of a certain place then it’s easier to discuss. We might have to book the whole place down. My idea is Best Berry Cafe but no air-conditioning. Since we know the owners, it’s easy to arrange. However, I’m sure many want an air-conditioned place. So… Do suggest please, need it A.S.A.P! 21st July coming soon… Update: Most probably it will be in the afternoon.

2. Went to reload my phone just now and the owner of the shop thought that I’m my sister. *LOL*

3. I’ve been doing a bit of optimization to this blog. Just a bit πŸ˜‰

4. Added disclosure policy.

5. Will start to do something on irenelaw.com. I know this domain links to this blog and many of you are linking to me via this domain. I’m planning to do something to irenelaw.com to improve its Alexa ranking. I got a PR3 with this domain. Will let you know what by then. Don’t worry, there is no need to change the link πŸ™‚ it will still come to this blog.

6. Will be going to Starbucks within this week or next week. Yeah… Belt a bit tight. Hahaha… I know someone is waiting for my review. You’ll have it. Food porn is coming again! YEAH! By the way, the Internet connection at Starbucks is not ready yet, it’ll be ready in 2 weeks time.

7. Thank you bokjae for the mention in your blog about my “Very Nice” post. So honoured πŸ™‚ Something for me tomorrow? Hehehe… Ok…

So that’s all. There might be a sponsored post after this post later :p Hehehe… What to do? I need money! Else how to go to Starbucks?*LOL*
