Dessert story! + formal haul.

I went shopping to buy last minute formal things. i needed my accessories and a clutch. i gave in to buying the Swarovski earrings that i had been eying for quite a while. they were quite expensive, but i guess it’s worth it since it will last a long time. The style isn’t too classic or elegant so I can wear it out to dinner, or other events, formal or casual as well! So I guess it’s worth the price!




So then I kept shopping and I found this suitable bangle/bracelet at Mouche in Little Collins.. I believe it was. There was a sale at Mouche as well, so I think I got this for...20% off?
i tried my best to get a good picture. the lighting wasn’t too good in my room.
and this was when i stumbled across an asian beauty shop in the chinatown arcade. There i bought 2 skinfood masks and a softymo oil based face wash.
It came with 1 bottle and a refill!
They were doing a promotion at that time, so our products were heavily discounted! I was also given 2 free Baviphat Woori Gokmul Mask sheets.
Left: Rice Bran mask: Brightens and Softens
Right: Mung Beans mask: Moisturizes and Clean

After the mini-beauty haul, we dropped by dessert story in china town, since we were there anyway. This is a new dessert place that serves mainly Hong Kong and Taiwanese desserts. Being a HK i was thrilled that a proper dessert house like this was finally open!
Tofu Pudding with Taro Balls

I don’t remember what this was called :( but it’s basically grass jelly cubes topped with red-bean and a scoop of LEGIT green-tea ice cream! If you’re looking for this in the menu, the ice cream is actually vanilla, but you can ask them to change the flavour to suit your liking!

Kitchen workshop

on good friday i went to kitchen workshop buffet for lunch with le mother~
i didn’t really get to take many pictures of the actual place so i found some on google images:
 
the food selection was alright, i think there should have been more food though? not as much as i expected for a buffet, but the food was still nice.
my half-eaten plate: steamed vegies, some fish thingy =s, and a piece of fried chicken

now for the best bit. DESSERT
i have to say, the best part of this place is the dessert. they have a whole corner full of different dessert, including pavlova, cakes, mousses and an ice cream machine!! we were really full when it came till dessert so we didn’t get to try as much as i would have liked =[
left: coffee mousse, right: pistachio mousse

my attempt of an artistic food shot

mum really liked the coffee one, because she’s a coffee freak haha. but also there was a really nice strong taste of coffee. i personally don’t really like the taste of coffee because i find it a tad bitter, but this one was sweet it didn’t taste bitter at all!
my real favourite: kit kat chocolate mousse. this one was not too sweet and i really liked the kit kat flavouring!
our next plate of dessert was rather…exotic? the big bamboo leaf thing… i still have no idea what it is. but something along the lines of sweet coconut rice? i’m not a really big fan of coconut, so i didn’t really like it. but the presentation was cute! next was a small cup of orange jelly with some raspberries (which you can’t see since they were at the bottom) topped off cream which filled 3/4 of the cup. so i just took the cream out and at the jelly haha. then there was the love letter cone and some type of jelly cake? and the last one was the jelly cakes you see in richmond. i think they’re a viet dessert. i ate the lychee haha

skin food masks!

I've recently read the review for the Skin Food Acorn Jelly Mask from closet voyage, and happened to stumble across it a few days later. It's supposed to tighten your pores and make them smaller so I thought I would give it a try since the pores on my face are horrible. Along with that, I also purchased the Ginseng mask from Skin Food as well. I've only used the mask for 2 days, so I thought I would use it a little longer to see the results before I did a review.
Please excuse the blurriness. I took a quick snap on my phone.
