Yoguru Green Tea Frozen Yoghurt

As I walking back towards the bus stop to go home, I saw a small yoghurt booth called Yoguru near Lucky Plaza. I decided to have some healthy snack before dinner so I went to order a yoghurt for myself. As I browsed through the flavours and loads of delicious toppings,I saw that you can choose green tea yoghurt flavour. I was like "I MUST GET THIS!'' cos I always have this philosophy that green tea flavour suits/matches with all kinds of food,from drinks to cakes to even beancurd! (ohh dun get me started of that green tea beancurd!I might post about that soon!) 

I picked green tea flavour yoghurt and decided to add mango chunks as my toppings. I dunno but...I've never seen a generous amount of mango chunks like this before!WOAH mad love to the max! I was only able to get a pict of my yoghurt cos there were too many ppl and I felt very paiseh if I take many picts hehe.

I mean...LOOK AT THOSE CHUNKS!

I love the tangy taste of the yoghurt and the slight sweetness from the green tea.Like i said before, green tea flavour just matches with anything!The mangoes is just heavenly,this little thing made my day a whole lot better <3

The price can be a bit pricey as one topping costs 90cents and the smallest cup you can get is about $3.30(original)/$3.50(flavour).Thus,i had to pay $4.40 but hey its worth it since the portion is just right and the toppings is generous.

Overall:4.5/5

Hope you peeps would try it especially if youre yoghurt-lover!Can find more information here http://www.yoguru.com.sg/

Tada!

FootballBits: Congrats Lions!

Congrats Singapore for being the new champion of AFF Suzuki Cup!I am so happy for them!Singapore Pride!*ahems* Great match to watch,though it was nerve-wrecking when the Thais scored a goal at the very last minute of first half. But phew!we did it and able to defend with the great effort!Congratulation!I am so proud of you! You lions,deserved the best!

Hei Sushi and Coldstone

Bestie and I planned to go to Hei Sushi for lunch,so we took a trip to Downtown East for our jap lunch.Actually that was my first time going there,so it got me all excited for it! For those of you who don't know about Hei Sushi, it is actually a so-called halal version of Sakae Sushi. So it is usually caters for the muslims to try out authentic jap food.

My bestie!

We ate a lot of sushi,at least 9 plates I think. My favourite was the green colour plate sushi which you can see from above,I don't know what that was but its very chewy and have a little sweetness.Me love!

As for the main course, I ordered Tenzaru Soba with assorted tempuras. Actually I kinda picked the wrong dish as the environment there was very cold, and I picked cold dish for my main course -.- .But thats okay cos, though it was quite plain looking apart from the tempura,it was actually very nice. I placed some of the noodles into the soba soup,added some wasabi, after that stirred them up.Then I ate the noodle while sipping some soba soup. YUMS! As for the tempura,it was great too.But what can we really expect from tempura?Since its usually taste great no matter who cooks it. But there was one tempura which taste like bittersweet pickles and kinda taste a bit weird so I didnt eat it.:S

Bestie picked Spicy Ramen,at first I thought I shouldve picked that one but I changed my mind then picked Tenzaru Soba instead. Turned out,my dish was perhaps better than her XD.I drank the the ramen soup,it tasted quite bland and it was not spicy at all. Bestie agreed with me about its spiciness which doesnt exist in the soup LOL.

As for the scallops, I don't know if they use real scallop or fake scallop cos the scallops that i ate,tasted like a crabstick. So I guess its nice as a cheap crabstick which can be found almost anywhere.

Fried Scallops

Overall rating: 3.5/5

Next,we went to Cold Stone Orchard Central outlet for our ice creams. Orchard you asked?Yes, we went from Downtown East to Orchard Central just for our desserts XD

I ordered cheesecake flavour ice cream and added a brownie and pecans as my toppings. The cheesecake flavour is too strong for an ice cream, in my opinion.Maybe you can add cheesecake as a topping but not as ice cream flavour. It taste like rancid milk :X  But hey, at least my brownie and pecans helped. I managed to finish it though. Bestie chose same ice cream flavour but her topping was choc chips and rainbow sprinkles.

Overall Rating: 3/5(actually I wanted to put 2.5 but since it has a good service and ambience, I would add 0.5 points more)

Thats the end of this post,hope to post more soon!Ta Da!

Sour cream bake potato and Cajun chicken rice

Me and my family decided to go and have lunch at Wendy's last two weeks,cos I had this amazing coupon deal especially for their awesome illustrations of their bake potatoes. And it was only for $2.50,sounds like an amazing deal right?

My mom chose sour cream bake potato while i chose cheese and broccoli bake potato. I find sour cream one was the most appetizing among other baked potatoes,but when I ate it,I was like '........eeeek....'.Sour cream and potatoes together is a big NO-NO.Seriously, I almost wanted to vomit when I ate it. Bluek...

Nasty Baked Potato

Broccoli with cheese bake potato

Luckily I picked broccoli which wasn't that bad but still a bit bland.
Next lets talk about the Popeyes Cajun Chicken Rice, which I find a big hype.
Firstly I thought the rice would amazing place like this...

Then when I got my meal,it turned out like this....

And my reaction to when I got my rice..

Credits to google

It taste like a bad version of Nasi Goreng Kampong lah! I rather spend around $3 for Nasi Kampong than this which cost $4.95. I regret eating this, maybe other ppl like it but certainly not me.
Okay thats the end of some random food review.See ya!Taa Daa!

From Maid To Minah

Many ppl say that I look more like a filipino than malay :/ I wonder what does a typical malay look like then. But I do know one thing, malay minahs usually have this thin,high-arched eyebrows. For those of you who don't know whats is a minahs, it is usually a malay sub-culture of a particular group of girls. Okay,I am not trying to bash the minahs but but but,last time I used to see most of them wear wrong colour foundations,it is always two or three shades lighter than skin colour. However,I guess they are now smart enough to pick better foundation.

Actually there is only one thing which I couldnt understand about them,I tried to but i cant,which is their eyebrows.. their archs are very high and makes them look older than their age.Okay,Im not trying to offend this ppl,I agree some of them looks nice with those high arch,but I think it looks nicer if their eyebrows are more subtle.

Haha speaking of which,I decided to pull of a minah look, this is what I called from maid to minah XD

like OMG I look 5 years older than my age.O_O
Haha i purposely put tons of concealer to cover my eyebrows before starting to make a very high arch. I guess I looked a little lot of malay hereXD
This is so not me hahaha!

Okay abrupt end of a post with this pict taa daa!

Back to my usual filipino look!

Football Bits: Excelsior and Real Madrid

Excelsior:
I am sure most of you don't know about SBV Excelsior.  Excelsior  is a small team which currently playing in second league in Holland. You must be asking why i brought this up,it is because it is my favourite team too other than Real. Yes it is not that popular but hey I just like them:)

Excelsior has just won against Sparta rival.I hope they would do better in the league soon:)

Real Madrid:
Lost again in the battle against Celta De Vigo. I really hope they would improve,i think this season is just not for them.But my support for them stays:)

Canmake Blush Milky Heart PW29

I need a blusher,not that i don't have a blusher,it is just that i gave my e.l.f blush (its too shimmery for me) to my mom and I currently have my Canmake cream cheek blusher.But the cream cheek did not look natural on my cheeks,my bad for picking the colour Vitamin Orange -.-. But I cannot deny Canmake cream cheeks are very good and pigmented so go and try one of them!:) It is just that I pick something that its so vibrant and unnatural for me
:(

So I saved some money to buy a blush, I have to say I really do love Canmake so I decided to buy another product from them. One thing about me is that I trust asian products more than american/european ones. Haha asian pride! Hey though I am not chinese,japanese or korean, I AM an ASIAN lol. Okay back to the topic, I decided I had enough with cream blush and I wanted to go back to powder blush.

I went to Watson's store (Watson's is like a Sephora for me lol XD) and looked through Canmake powder blush collection. At first I saw this blush called Strawberry Red PW30, I was tempted to buy it but then again i recalled back about my Vitamin Orange,it is very vibrant. Haha I think you can guess that I always tempted to buy something vibrantXD.

Strawberry Red. Credits to google

Then i saw this powder blush called Milky Heart PW29, it is soft milky pink colour, I think there is a little bit of coral colour in it. It is not shimmery nor matte,I wish it would be a matte colour though but oh well. But the colour is quite pretty and subtle so I bought it. I want to swatch it on my hand to see how it look like on my skin but there is no tester for this colour. But I bought it anyway.

It looked quite matte in a camera but it's actually not

So I swatched it on my hand and this is how it looked like

As you can see(or you cannot),it did not really show up on my skin that well. After I blend,it was almost invisible. I tried to put it on my face, and again did not show up that well, but it gives a slight hint of pink if I were to look at my face closer. I think that the blusher is better for fair skin T_T. But I really love the colour of the blush,it is just that my face is too dark for it show up.Sigh...but since it does give me a little tiny bit of colour on my cheek,I still gonna use it for a while :).Hey its better than my cheeks being so vibrant! I hope to find my holy grail or almost-holygrail blusher one day:)Taa Daa!

RiaGirl: Perfect Oil Make Up Remover

Have you ever heard a product name called senka? Me neither lol,I heard that recently it just arrived in Singapore?:O. I went to Watsons to buy a good and affordable make up remover as my previous one almost empty. Personally I hated my previous make up remover but due to not wanting to waste more money to buy another brand,I ended up use it till its almost empty :/ Why do I hate it? cos my skin feels so dry like it can tear anytime soon after using it :(  Well begone now! Cos now I just bought a make up remover called Perfect Oil by Senka.

Claims:
1.Rapidly unclogs horny(hehe sounds funny) plug and removes waterproof mascara.

2.Can be used with wet hands and face

3.Retains moisture in skin

It also claims that the make up remover is made with moisturizing serum ingredients. Sounds good huh?We'll see!

I.LOVE.IT.
My skin feels so smooth and not dry!:O Whenever I used a liquid make up remover, my skin would feel either very dry or my skin would itch especially my eyes,but this! this DOESN'T irritate my skin at all! Amazefishball! The texture is slightly thick when you put it on your palm,but when applied to face,it feels kinda light. At first I was a bit doubtful this might be another typical make up remover like the previous one but I was surprised it removes and moisturises at the same time.

I fell in love with this instantly omg.
For those of you who wanna go ahead and try them,please do.And its affordable:)
Tada!

FootballBits: Real Madrid are through

Congrats Real Madrid for qualified for the next round of Champions League.Happy for them:) Ajax are through for Europa League even though they were beaten as Man city were again beaten. Hala Madrid!

RiaGirl: Sweet Vintage

I am no make up artist nor make up guru. I'm just someone who likes to create different look for fun at times.

No-make me!

 As i browse through magazines,I always admire vintage classy look. But I cannot pull off vintage look that well,i dunno why,probably because of my rolly polly face :\

Then I decided to match sweet and vintage together to create a classy yet have a hint of 'sweetness' look.

And here it is....

Red lipstick is absolute for that classy and elegant touch and I extended the wing a little further to create an illusion of wide eyes and I lined my bottom line and connected them to the wing, thus it looked like I have a sweet doe-eyes. As you can see my eyebrows don't have arch,thus soften the look. To finish off the look,I put my hair to the side and clipped them with a big flower clip

Toilet has the best lighting LOL

To be honest,I don't usually wear eyeliner and red lipstick, my usual look will always be subtle with a hint of colour. But like I said I like to do it for fun.So, I will usually  remove the make up once I took some picture of myself :P

Have fun!

FoodRiAdventure: Bedok Corner

Ayah brought me and my family to Bedok Corner for dinner. It's been a long time since I came to that place. What i like about this place is at least 60% of the stalls are halal.So its a great hang out for muslim friends:)

And as always, the place is quite crowded especially at night,so be sure to come there a bit early, we were just lucky there was an empty seat for us to take.

Sorry for the bad lighting:( This is the stall where we bought for our meals.So we ordered Ikan Bakar(grilled fish), Kerang Rebus (boiled cockles!?) ,Sambal Kangkong (Kangkong veggie stir fried in a chili paste) and Tom Yum.

Sambal Kangkong

Ikan Bakar

Kerang Rebus

Do you know what is this?It is called Cincalok (as far as i know how to spell) Usually eaten with Ikan Bakar .

I forgot to upload Tom Yum Soup,but I have to tell you this,the Tom Yum Soup was meh.......Seriously my mom cooked a lot better than that lol. The Ikan Bakar was SUPERB! We ate the fish like there's no tomorrow hahaha. Cockles? simple and classic yet delicious especially dip with the sauce. Though I'm not sure if non-spicy eater would love it:P Sambal Kangkong is nice but can be improve, I wish they could cook them slightly longer cos the stems were kinda hard.

Overall Rating: 3/5

But wait,our stomachs still have a lot of room for..................

YES! SINFULLY SWEET AND JUICY CEMPEDAK GORENG!

I'm drooling for this as I type. OMG this is the juiciest cempedak goreng I've ever had. Plus its totally big! Well you have to chew it bit by bit,you can eat it as whole,cos you will have a bad time. Big mistake for me,I just put the whole cempedak goreng in my mouth and my jaw was tired as its very very chewy and hard to swallow.Took me at least 5 mins to swallow just one cempedak T_T.But that doesnt stop me from eating it! But please don't eat frequently cos it is very oily,not good for health  ;)

FootballBits: Seriously malaysians ultras?

Recently Singapore had won by 0-3 against Malaysia in AFF Suzuki cup group match. Singapore played well and i have to say malaysians players did their best too. Then malaysian ultras started to chant "Singapore itu anjing''-Singapore is a dog ('anjing' is usually used as a curse word among  malays.)I mean seriously?do you have to do that?especially that your team was defeated. You may think that I am biased towards Singapore as I'm a singaporean, but as a part of malay race, I feel quite ashamed. Its okay to have ultras, but try not to go to the very extreme.

Well anyway congrats Singapore for winning their first match. I'm happy that they have done their best








P/s:Well I'm still kinda sad for Real Madrid...maybe they were just unlucky....but I still love them!

FootballBits: Lose

Real Madrid lose..nothing to say...

DisasteRia: Apple Pie

Have to admit this is my second time making apple pie. But I changed the recipe and this recipe I took was from allrecipes.com. Have to say it sucks....You may think it looks okay from the picture above but I have to tell you..the taste was NASTY! It tasted like ummm plastic apple pie!really,it doesnt taste like apple pie at all!! The first apple pie I made was better, though it wasn't really fantastic like those restaurant-made. I actually wanted to find a new recipe for the pie crust and apple filling because the first one was not so great but it was edible,so i turned to allrecipes.com,and I regret it.Moral of the story: I wont ever get back to allrecipes.com again. People might say 'well i tried it,its not bad at all' well FOR YOU yeah.for me,its just...bad...:\

Football Bits:CL: Man City Vs Real Madrid

so who do you think will win?before you continue reading, I would like to say this post gonna be a biased post cos me a fan of Real Madrid! (boohoo man city!) I want RM to win and qualify for the next round. I would feel sad if they lose..:(

Me thinks RM gonna win and beat that blue-shirt team. GO GO GO RM! HALA MADRID! Don't disheartened man city fans cos of this post, Im just a fan of them thats all.Anyway may the best team wins. Goodluck....for RM:P:P:P

Start something simple

Should good food be simple?For me,yes.You can say i will always opt for short cut when comes to cooking or baking.Usually i will go to Youtube videos and try to find the simplest recipe available.What do I meant by saying simple?For me,its simply ingredients (no pun intended lol).

Getting the right ingredients are always the main part of cooking/baking.I always go 'UGHHHH!' when i see something that is hard to find.Once i saw and realized its hard to find,i will immediately say 'okay thats it!its hard''.Ok ok,you people might think i'm not really passion about food.In fact i am, but i wanna start slowly.SLOOOOOWWWWLLLLLYYYYYY geddit?Plus usually they will ask you to buy high quality ingredients in order to achieve the same exact taste but...I don't have really have much money to afford a lot of high quality ingredients T_T

And what about equipments? well you don't have to follow exactly what kind of equipments since there are some different types of equipment that have similar functions, for example if you have hand mixer,why would you spend $100-$500 on stand mixer when both is kinda the same?Well unless you have enough money to buy it of cos.Better save up that money and buy stuffs that you don't have for cooking right?

That doesn't mean i won't buy it,like i said,i want to start slowly.I want to buy stuffs i don't have first for cooking.If i have everything then i would invest on good stand up mixer which can make my life easier.

So if you say which is harder to find,ingredients or equipments, i would say ingredients.I'm sure some of you would disagree about this.But equipments here is soo easily available and you can find them cheap especially if you can find them at Daiso(omg i always in love with Daiso!<3)

So for all of you peeps who has passion about food but wanna start slowly like me,do find cheap yet functioning equipments. And as you move along, invest on good stuffs!And do try to make something simple at first and by gaining more experience on simple food,you can have better hands on cooking something more complex;) 

I'll end my post with this quote,its my own lame quote *ehem ehem hipster mode activated lololol*

If you know how to cook rice,then you able to to learn how to make fried rice.You wouldnt want to make a fried porridge would you?Start something simple;)-RiaRia

Football Bits: Levante Vs Real Madrid

Doughnut day with Bff

Yep,after making those sushi, (this blog post) I went off to East Point to meet up with my bff. Oh my! like finally can meet her!yay!We decided to make doughnuts via her recipe(she had attended a doughnut class few days ago). At East Point there's a one stop shop for baking needs so we went to get our stuffs ready.

Me before getting off!

We already bought our stuffs there but have one missing item, cake flour,seriously?cake flour is soo common that they dont have it?oh well,then we went to fair price to buy it.hehe manage to steal a pict but there's nothing much -.-.that girl that wore red hijab is my bff

All items bought,straight to the kitchen girls!basically we went back to her home lah to cook.A bit tedious i have to say especially when mixing the dough until it has thin rubbery texture.Well at least she has standing electric mixer,but i don't if i were to do that,my hands would be tired and numb T_T

Our doughnut dough before frying

And doughtnut dough after frying and we decorated them!thats the fun part!^.^

My masterpiece MUAHAHAHAHA lol

I love love them!The dough is soo soft when you bite!Well for you ppl,if you want to know this recipe,then ummm arhhhh too bad i dun have the recipes!

Hey don't be disappointed,making doughnut has many ways to do it,I know how to make one too,and its much simpler.Though i cannot guaranteed it would be the best doughnut in the world,but it would the simplest doughnut in the whole wide world!Simple chicken mcnugget style!So wanna try it?stay tuned to this blog ;)

Buhbye peeps!

Football Bits:Arsenal Vs Fulham /Schalke Vs Werder Bremen

Arsenal Vs Fulham
PREEETAY Epic! Feel a bit sorry for the arsenal.though im not a fan of those two teams, this match was epic when i watched it yesterday.Especially the penalty,seriously what a big chance,they could've won.

Schalke Vs Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen were leading but too bad for them as Schalke got themselves back and got themselve 3 points.Congrats for them

RiaCipes: Basic Sushi

The first time i tried sushi,i thought the rice is basi (expired) cos it has a bit of acidic taste (yeah yeah,probably you might think like ''duh!cos it has vinegar!-.-'' but i was very young then,pardon that).Well i still like it though.After getting used to its taste,i started to LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE~~~ it!YUM YUM!

So before meeting my awesomeness-random-coolest bff (hey mawar if you read this,i'm sure you will kembang hahaha!),i decide to make simple chicken mcnugget sushi roll. When i say chicken mcnugget,i do not meant as literally chicken nuggets,i meant it as very very simple.Yes we singaporeans sometimes say it like that.

For those sushi-lover newbies who don't know how to make sushi, there are a lot of youtube videos to see...NO!NO!I WAS JOKING ALRIGHT!YOU BETTER COME CONTINUE READ THIS BLOG! *pulls reader's hand*

Okay now i got your hands(and your eyes) tied up on this blog.Let's get started! \(^.^)/

Ingredients
-Warm cooked Japanese rice (i use 2 cups of it)
-2-3 tbsp of Rice vinegar
-1/2 tbsp sugar(optional)
-Roasted seaweed

That's the main ingredients for sushi! You can add any desired toppings. Since this post is about making simple chicken mcnugget sushi,i'm gonna add chicken mcnugget inside.You think im joking right?okaylah im joking *insert idiot face* .

Okay for the fillings,i'm gonna used canned tuna and shredded crabsticks with mayo.

Steps
-Mix sugar with rice vinegar. To melt and mix them evenly, place them in microwave for about 20 seconds. Sugar makes the vinegar more mild,and of cos you can add more sugar if its too acidic but don't put too much or else you would get sweet rice :S

-Add the mixture bit by bit in the rice, and use a big wooden or plastic spoon and slowly fold them. Taste the    rice until you're happy with the taste.

-Let the rice cool before you start to make sushi roll.


After the rice is cooled,now its the fun part...SUSHI ROCK & ROLL TIME!

You need a bamboo mat to do this. For singapore residences who don't know where to buy bamboo mat,you can find it at Daiso,where everything is at $2! For those not living in singapore,umm im not sure...but as cliche as it gets,ebay perhaps?

I wrapped the bamboo mat with a cling wrap so the bamboo will not get dirty.

Bamboo mat wrapped with a clingwrap

Usually if you buy a packet of seaweed,you will get this.

Cut them into half to get this

Place the seaweed with rough side facing up, add the rice on it and make a thin layer,make sure not too add too much or else it will hard for you to roll with the fillings. Do make a small gap at the bottom edge of the seaweed.

Then add the fillings, make sure not too add too much or too thin,as it can affect the shape of the sushi rice.

And you can start rolling!

Its a simple technique how to roll it.Gently pull the seaweed on the top edge of the mat.Then slowly fold them,once fold,gently press to firm up ,add water on the small gap of the seaweed to stick everything up,then fold and press it again.

And you will get this!

Cut them with a very sharp knife.Thickness as desired.And TAA DAAA!

I put them in my pink lunch box and off to meet my bff!And i got myself ready and off to meet my bff!YAY!
Here's a picture of me as a signing off!buhbye!
