Special Dessert at Nosh, Bangsar

 Last month, we had tried one of the limited time dessert at Nosh, Bangsar in conjunction with Valentine's Day. After trying one of their special dessert last time, we dream of munching them in our mouth again. And we made it a point to try some other desserts on their limited time Valentine's Day Special Dessert list before it's gone.

Yesterday, we purposely had a light dinner so that we will have enough stomach space to fill these delicious looking dessert. The last time (read here if you have not), we had 'L.O.V.E' and we try not to order it as again as much as we wanted to.

Before we begin our sea of love, we had some fresh juices to cool ourselves down. Again, we had this Fresh Strawberry Juice, RM9.90 and it's absolutely perfect as a starter. The sweet and sour liquid of berries fly us to the berryland in seconds.

Strawberry Juice, RM9.90

Since we were going to have some sugar-rush with the desserts, this Detox Juice, RM12 balances our calories intake for the night. There's some celery, cucumber and other vegetables in it. Going Green!

Detox Juice, RM12

We ordered 3 types of dessert from the special order list. In fact, there's 4 types that we have not try but we have limited stomach space :( You can't go wrong with chocolate - good quality chocolate. Amour, RM21 features a really rich chocolate tart topped with some ganache and lying on a superb crispy cookie base. It's a rich dark chocolate thing and one scope of this really gives you the kick. There's some really sour red berries by the side to gives extra kick when you have them together. The strawberry and blueberries can sweeten back your world at the end of it. 

Then, we fly to Japan to indulge this Ai, RM16 which is a green tea cake with layers of azuki mousse between it. The cake is perfect, not too sweet - just right and the texture is soft and bouncy. There's a huge scope of orange mousse on top of the cake with some crispy wafers as presentation. I love pairing the orange mousse with the cake as the citrus taste does compliments the tea taste of the cake. And you will see these little heart shapes formed by Strawberry and Vanilla sauce on the plate as decorations. Do dash your cake into these little sauce because they are a match in heaven

.

Now, you're back in Malaysia with this Cinta, RM18 which is a fragrant durian cheesecake paired with black pepper crumble. The cake is definitely rich with durian pulp as if I'm licking a real durian fruit on my hand. There's more durian pulp than the cheese taste in the cake that makes it so intense. I'm really impressed with the mild fiery black pepper crumble as this little fire bakes the cake to another level. It was really good!

After finishing these 3 amazing desserts, we were really full and satisfied. We also want to try the Ti Amo too which is a creamy baked custard pudding but we really can't eat anymore. Hope that Nosh will features these dessert again in future.

This Special Valentine's Day Dessert is available till 15 March 2015 (Sunday). Thus, you still have tomorrow and Sunday - 2 days more to indulge these amazing desserts. Wait no more!

Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year Special Set, Nosh Bangsar.

It's Monday again! How's your Chinese New Year celebration last week? I'm sure your whole week was full of gathering, festive food and huge celebrations. I think good time passes really fast and that CNY is already over.

We had our early Valentine's Day celebration at Nosh, Bangsar recently and the good news is that their special Valentine's and Chinese New Year set is available until 15 March 2015. Therefore, even if Chinese New Year is already over for real; you still can be in the festive mood at Nosh, Bangsar.

You can either choose a Set A at RM48/pax or a Set B at RM78/pax. Both sets are two courses meal with an appetizer and a main. Drinks are not included in the set meal. Our main mission the other day was to have their special dessert as part of our Valentine's Day celebration. Thus, we saved this festive set for our next visit.

Festive set at Nosh, Bangsar.

In conjunction with Valentine's Day, Nosh introduces 5 limited time desserts namely "Ai", "LOVE", "Amour", "Ti Amo" and "Cinta". Each dessert's plating is planned with great details. I actually saw their dessert planning on their FB account and tempted me to try them :)

We actually planned to have our dessert at Nosh after our Valentine's celebration dinner. However, since the restaurant which we wanted to go was fully booked (on Valentine's eve huh!); we thought why not have dinner at Nosh instead since it's been ages since we dine here. And the lighting here is good for selfies :)

Each table was lighted up with a little candle in a glass filled with red dyed rice.

If you're here, do try their fresh Strawberry Juice. Yes, it's freshly juiced; not the strawberry flavored syrup. Love it. Gonna buy boxes of strawberries when they are on sale and juiced them at home.

Pig would usually busy entertaining his smart phone when we wait for our food to be served. Since there was a glass of red dyed rice on our table, here's what he did while waiting for his food to be served. Thanks to his itchy fingers, he created this lovely masterpiece :)

Finally, the food arrived. Pig had the Grilled Lamb Rack served with cheesy portobello mushroom and salad. The lamb was good and I love that giant cheesy mushroom. It was crispy outside and the inner part was still juicy!   

I'm a pesto lover so I had their pesto penne with grilled chicken. As you can see from the picture below, it comes with sufficient amount of pine nuts that you can taste their presence in every bites.

After the mains, we were very happy that it was dessert time. We ordered the "LOVE" special dessert to share. It comes with about 7 scopes of ice-creams and topped with nuts, chocolate sauce, chocolate wafer and some raspberry + strawberry. The most important is that there's a "LOVE U" note on the plate which makes it just like a Valentine's Day dessert! Unfortunately, our special letters was covered with some of the nuts when it was served :( They should have put the letters on the other corner or dessert to be put placed on the center of the plate instead. But the ice-cream was delicious. When you scope them with your dessert spoon; there's frozen raspberries inside the ice-creams. It's like you are digging for treasure inside the ice-creams.

A selfie is a must when you have a plate of art.

That was our Valentine's Day dinner at Nosh, Bangsar. We plan to taste all the 5 types of dessert but since we had a cake at home; we'll save the other 4 types for our next visit.

You have till 15 March 2015 to try their Special festive set or Valentine's Day Special desserts.Their dessert is absolutely delicious. I've noticed that you can order their normal dessert and add in the 'LOVE U' note too. If you would like to follow up on their latest menu or special dessert, do have a look on their FB page once in a while.

Valentine's Day Dessert Baking Class at ILOHA Culture Centre, Bangsar.

This year, my pig made another special Valentine's gift at a baking centre in Bangsar. He actually bakes the present:P He attends his first ever baking class at ILOHA Culture Centre to bake the Valentine's Day Dessert as a gift. Thanks a lot my pig.

ILOHA Culture Centre serves as a one-stop centre for learning Japanese Language, Japanese baking and cooking class as well as a cafe. If you know where's the well know Antipodean, Yeast and other popular restaurant along Jalan Telawi 2, Bangsar such as La Bodega; this studio is located on the first floor ~ on top of Chutney Mary Restaurant.

In conjunction with Valentine's Day, there was a special Valentine's Day Dessert Baking Workshop where you learned to bake the must-have Chocolate cake also known as Fondant au Chocolate, Chocolate pudding and Matcha & Strawberry Financier in heart shape. All these was done in 3 hours. 

According to pig, the class is good where you learn from scratch in baking them. And there's a limit in the number of students in a class; thus you get full attention from the tutor too. No worries if you have not enter the kitchen or no skills in baking, the product which you made from this class will definitely shock your friends who says you can't bake :) 

Here's the product which my pig bake:

1. Fondant au Chocolate

Once you slice the cake, the melted chocolate in the centre will greet you as if you are inside a chocolate fountain. 

2. Chocolate Pudding

The pudding is perfect and I kept them as breakfast the next day. The chocolate taste is strong and not too sweet.

3. Matcha & Strawberry Financier 

I love the Strawberry one more as I'm not a huge fan of Matcha. 

If you are coming for the baking class, do remember to bring your own apron and container to put the your finished products.

Here's some snapshot of pig thanks to ILOHA Culture Centre.

Happy Valentine's Day 2015

 Happy Valentine's Day!

It's our 6th year celebrating Valentine's Day together. How time flies! I still remember our first celebration together :) Thinking back on all the journey from our 1st till 6th year, I'm glad that I have pig to accompany me through all the good and bad times together. It's not easy to find someone who understand you well without you telling him and most important ~ he tolerates with all your demands and wants. Any male out there able to tolerate with a girl who loves pink for everything she owns? My pig is the special one who can. Thanks for being surrounded by a pinky world without complaining :)

This 6th Valentine's Day, I decided to make a "Bedroom Display" - our own term where we usually display all the items together (both his and my gifts) on one side of the wall/bed/table and take a memorable photograph for safe keeping ~ like a summary of our celebration where by looking at this picture, it summarizes our moments during that particular festive. 

Every year, it's pig that decorate the display and he has done an amazing job in putting everything together. One of the most memorable one was during my 21st Birthday. Thanks pig :)

 For the first time, I'm decorating this display and made it as a gift for him :)

Happy Valentine's Day 2015

As promised, I received 24 roses this year as I'm 24 (by year) years old. Okay, I'm consider 23+ since my birthday is not over :) Instead of looking at the list of how many roses represents what; he sends number of roses according to age. Best part, the roses are mysteriously there when your eyes are ready for the first light of the day.

For the first time, fragrance is in the gift list.

And of course, cake from Sunny Yau, Big Boys Oven. We get cakes from him for all the special occasions.

Let me present you; the pink and white world for pig. Got them from the local IKEA store and some from the Singapore outlet thanks to my lovely colleagues. It may be pink and white but pig says it's cute. hehe. Because I like it pink and white :)

A gigantic card for pig with "Love Coupons" on the card. And realized that we hardly remember how we celebrate all the past Valentine's ; thus include notes on all the past year's Valentine's celebration. This giant card is available at Memory Lane gift shop.

I sew this small purple pillow from the Buddy Pillow workshop organized by Akemi 1Utama last weekend. Just happen to pass by that area and spot the workshop. It suppose to have eyes, ears and heart shape on it but thanks to my bad sewing skills; the best I could do it to sew the cloth to 'zip' up the pillow.

Got this from Jaya Grocer Empire Shopping Gallery. Since there's a lucky draw for a minimum spend of RM20 in a single receipt; I thought why not get the wine (since we need to buy it anywhere) and try luck in getting the vouchers.

Here's another heart pillow from Memory Lane. It's pillows for this Valentine's.

Finally, Happy Valentine's Day pig. Hope you love the gift:)

La Senza's Love Sexy Valentine's Shopping Party, Pavilion KL

 Valentine's Day is around the corner and everywhere you go; there's shades of pink and heart motifs.

Last Saturday, the La Senza Love Sexy Valentine's Shopping Party was held at its Pavilion KL outlet and thanks to Female Magazine for the invites. Was there with my good friend; Jade :) We had so much fun buying lingerie :P

Guess which outlet is this La Senza boutique located

Yay to Female Magazine.

I've been to their Valentine's Day event for the past few years consecutively too. Just like every year, their decorations focuses on the pink theme together with their new collection - it's pink too! And every year, pink balloons filled up the entire outlet's ceiling space together with a must-have photobooth for more selfies :) The event starts from 10am till 1pm and there's an exclusive offer for all the guests.

It's so PINK!

 An event is not complete without a lovely photobooth. Their photobooth cover visual is so unique this year. You can stand next to the girl; pretending that the real model is there and take a snapshot.

 With all the props according to the theme! It's a girl's party after all.

Their trademark is all lighted up with pink lighting.

Heart shape balloons filled up the entire ceiling space. The string end with another small paper heart shape and it serves as one of their treasure hunt game later.

 Introducing to you the La Senza's latest Valentine's Day collection or also know as Love Sexy collection. There's a few designs which focuses on shade of baby pink with a butterfly lace in the middle of it. If you feel that pink is not for you, there's designs in black and white too. See the new collection below - all the lingerie below the 'LOVE SEXY" text.

 Their main focus is the baby pink one with black laces forming a butterfly's wings as you can see on what the model is wearing. It comes together with a matching panties where you can surprise your partner this coming Valentine. There's also a sexy sleep wear piece which matches this new baby pink lingerie set.

In conjunction with Valentine's Day, there's a special edition gift box for purchase where you can place these sexy lingerie in the classy box and gift them on that special day. Oh, did I mention that this gift box comes in baby pink and black too?

During the party, we receive some exclusive discounts where there's a 50% off when we purchase above RM500. Besides that, we also received a RM50 cash voucher from our goodie bag! Also found in the goodie bag are water tumbler with La Senza motifs, an Iphone cover and a piece of lingerie. I think I have more than 3 La Senza tumblers already in my collection. hehe. With the great deal, we started our shopping and seriously; it took us more than an hour comparing the designs and its price before we decide our piece.

Let's shop till drop.

 Luckily, there's refreshment served too. Drinks and the snacks such as pizza, pavlova and cakes keeps us entertained throughout the shopping process.

Then, the pretty emcee of the day explaining the different types of bra and how each of them gives a different look. There's 3 mannequins on display representing a casual, office and a party look. The bras are the comfortable Body Kiss, the extra pus up Hello Sugar and the new Love Sexy collection.   

This is the Body Kiss collection one if I'm not mistaken for the casual wear. The Body Kiss is a comfortable one where the texture is smooth and soft just like your skin. You'll be walking and moving a lot when you are having some leisure activities; thus this piece can gives you a maximum comfort throughout the whole day.

Next, this is for office/work attire with the Love Sexy collection. The new baby pink piece's back strap can be adjusted to different style so match your office outfit. Some of your formal attire might be showing some skin at the back and since it's a formal environment, you would not want to see your strap sticking out from your clothes. This the new piece's strap is very versatile and make it your way.

Last but not least, it's the Body Kiss collection piece. This piece gives you that extra push up to boost your confidence in wearing your party outfit. There's a few choice where you can choose an extra push or a double push ones!

Then, there's a treasure hunt game where you need to look out for one of the ten balloons with a small La Senza sticker on the heart-shaped paper. I quickly spotted one and I got another goodie bag too. This time with a round pouch mirror and a dazzling pouch.

I think we bought a year supply of lingerie! With a total bill of more than 1k, there's a 10% discount for members, then we get a 50% discount on top of the bill and can also use the RM50 cash voucher given in our goodie bag. That's a great deal isn't it? With all the goodie bags and giant + heavy shopping bags in our hands, had some selfies before we left :)

Heavy bags of shopping bags and goodie bags.

Our tired faces from the 1 hour plus shopping.

Heavy shopping bags with other phone and cameras in pockets :)

Thanks dear Jade for coming to the event with me.

Squeezing behind the photobooth for a quick shot. Hopefully I didn't block those busy printing photos behind there.

 Oh, there was a best dressed couple and a lucky draw before the event ends too. Everyone went home with their hand full of new lingerie. A whole year supply I guess! Too bad that there's no pretty models fashion show and the dessert table display this time; there was when I went last time :( Hopefully next one will have models wearing their new collection for a fashion show then.

If you have not purchase your Valentine's gift for your partner, head to the nearest La Senza outlets now. You can purchase them for your partner (limited edition gift box available) or wear them to surprise your partner instead. Hurry! Valentine's Day is less than 4 days away.

If you don't know how to look good in these lingerie, La Senza comes with a guide to teach you how.
