The secret recipe to my heart

Oh, nothing... just because it's Friday. After all, we don't just eat cakes on birthdays or celebrations anymore. Right?

Chocolate and cheese - these are a few of my favourite things *wink*

 The heavenly - Chocolate Cheese from Secret Recipe

Ready or not, Valentine's Day is this Friday

Like a very sensible girl, I want to tell the world that I don't care about Valentine's Day and all that I care is sleeping in, wearing my hot sweat pants.

But the painful truth is that... if I don't get a date or a gift on Friday, I'll be devastated. Yes, even for the singles (like me), we appreciate the thought be being remembered. After all, it's the thought that counts.

Here are some pretty lovely ideas of what you can do on 14 Feb!

1.  Roses and chocolates.
Save a few bucks (for dinner, perhaps?), wear matching outfits and stand a chance to receive a stalk of rose and chocolate (absolutely free) from the Little Cupids roaming in Queensbay Mall. 

2.  Serenade your girl.
Not everyone is blessed with an angel's voice - celebrate the special day against romantic live music backdrop at Queensbay Mall, GF Central Atrium at 1pm, and at 6pm dedicate a love song to your loved one from the selected song list.

3.  Go on gift-hunting, together. 

• Fashion Fast Forward members, enjoy up to 50% off at Burton Menswear London, Dorothy Perkins, Topman and Topshop.
• Now you can share your love for denim with your loved ones - 2nd pair of Gap denim at RM99 only.
• One for you, and one for her/him because you'll get 20% off with purchase of 2 or more SODA normal-priced items at Voir Gallery
• Pick out your favourite Crabtree & Evelyn's toiletry gift sets, beautifully packed for him and her.
• If you're planning for the big proposal, find the perfect infinity band at Diamond & Platinum.

4.  Fill her heart, fill his tummy. 

• Let your love hog the limelight at Morganfield's, with a chance to be among the 5 lucky diners to win a pair of Citrine gemstone worth RM300.
• Have a romantic 3-course meal put together for you and loved ones at TGI Friday's (since V-day falls on a Friday).
• Share a sensual indulgence with Haagen-Dazs Valentine's Fondue.

5. Wrap up in the cinema.
Snuggle up in the couple seat and watch The Awkward Moment (GSC) in the company of warm popcorn.

How do you imagine your V-Day to be this year?

Humble Beginnings in my tummy

I bet you didn't know mille crepes came from rather humble beginnings - how they are hand-made and hand-layered into heavenly indulgence that we all so loved today. Hah, now you know! *smug smile*

And since Humble Beginnings found a new home at Queens Street in Queensbay Mall, an afternoon tea is never perfect without mille crepes! *bat eye lashes*

There's a flavour for everyone! From the signature French Vanilla, Chocolate Orange, Peanut Butter Blueberry Blizzard, Nutella Banana, Peach Passion, Lemon Cream Cheese, Strawberry Heaven to Matcha Latte and the list goes on and on and on.

I really don't have the time to name you all the flavours but you can follow Humble Beginnings on Facebook. I've got a sweet business to attend to - my mille crepe is at stake! *snatch my plate from a colleague*

Hui Lau Shan: Fills your tummy, sweetens your day

I was scratching my head, couldn't decide what to eat after a long, long day last evening. Then I read that Hui Lau Shan now serves Full Meal Set from RM8.90++.

The Full Meal Set comes with a main dish and a selection between a drink or a dessert.

Of course, I immediately chose the Signature Curry Combo Rice, smacked in the middle of the menu *wink* And paired it with Watermelon Sago drink.

Since I was here, I couldn't resist indulging in my favourite Hui Lau Shan dessert - Mango Chewy Ball.

You can add on RM1.90 for a Full Meal + Drinks + Dessert (from the selection only). Boy, was I filled to the brim! Nothing makes me happier than desserts after a long day. After all, spell "stressed" backwards and you get "desserts".

With the proper Full Meal Sets, I'll have an excuse to dine at Hui Lau Shan and enjoy my favourite desserts any time, any day!

Wake me up when September ends...

Yeah baby, it's gonna be all about eating, drinking and merry-ing. I simply can't wait to rock Oktoberfest!

If you're not a food lover, shove 'em to me. I wouldn't mind sacrificing my pretty figure so that your portion don't go to waste. I'm a pretty big eater and I'm proud to admit it *smug wink*

Shall we dig in like a true German?

Quinn is in the house

Hi! I'm Quinn.

You see... I'm a girl, so I naturally love fashion, food and fun (as Cyndi Lauper sang it - girls just want to have fun). And these are the sparkle and glitter that revolve around my life.

Many call me 'Drama Quinn' but come on, I'm really not that mean *rolls eyes*

But I do wear my invisible crown every single day...

Not because I want to swan around like a queen (though technically, I'm Quinn) but it simply reminds me to stand tall and be proud of who I am, what I do and how I glam up every day.

So why not join me for a delicate royal tea as we sip and chatter about all the pretty little things in life ♥

Hugs xx
Quinn
