Caffe Bene || Mangotella Series

Mangotella at Caffe Bene anyone?

As they all say, 2 is usually better than 1. Hehe. I never really thought mango and Nutella would be a good combo, but after getting a taste of this, YAS!! It's like love at first taste. For a limited time only, Caffe Bene Malaysia is offering a seasonal time menu which will bright excitement to the lovers of Nutella and Fruits! Featuring Nutella chocolate and Mango's as the season's highlight, its no doubt that it would make you wonder how deliciously yummy it is. And with that, I would like to share with you the four different seasonal options to choose from!

Mango Yogurt Bingsu | RM29.90

Be on the safer side with the Mango Yogurt Bingsu

First up which I would like to introduce would be the Mango Yogurt Bingsu! This yummy cold icy dessert is topped with juicy mango cubes and seasonal Yogurt Gelato. Holla at cha girl if you're a fan of yogurt as this is super yummy as I must say that the combo goes really well. Suitable for those who prefers to be on the safer side when it comes to taste. hehe.

Mangotella Bingsu  | RM29.90

Go slightly darker with the Mangotella Bingsu

When it comes to Caffe Bene, we all know that they're famous for serving their 'to-die-for' icy bingsu. Now if youre looking for some adventure in flavours, the Mangotella Bingsu would not disappoint. This has to be one of the dreamiest combination where it combines Nutella, mixed nuts, cookie crumble base with mango cubes topped with the Nutella gelato. Yummy! I don't usually like nuts in my bingsu, but surprisingly the mixed nuts and cookie crumble base actually gave the bingsu some interesting textures when you scoop a mouthful of it! LAV IT!

Mangotella Waffle | RM17.90

Mangotella waffles anyone?

Drizzle some hot-fudge onto your waffle

Not seeking for something icy? Well, thank God Caffe Bene serves waffles too! The Mangotella Waffle is definitely a must try! Just talking about it makes me crave for more. It's waffle is topped with sweet mango chunks, almond slices and covered in yogurt gelato. And just when you think the goodness ends there, it doesn't as you can make this taste even yummier when you drizzle hot-fudge Nutella all over your waffle.

Mangotella Smoothie | RM11.90

Be quick and on the go with the Mangotella Smoothie

Alternatively, if you're looking for something that you can grab and go, I would automatically suggest you to try the Mangotella smoothie to quench your thirst. I usually have a hard time deciding whether to drink fruity drinks or something chocolatey, but at Caffe Bene, I get both in one cup! hehe. This tasted really smooth and creamy and surprisingly the mango taste is stronger than the Nutella taste. Nevertheless, the combo has just the right sweetness that does not overpower.

My blogger buddies for the night :)

So what are you waiting for? Drop by Caffe Bene while you still can! I might be heading over to Caffe Bene later at night for some dessert time catch up session with friends. And just to get things exciting, I cant wait to see what my friends would have to say when they get a bite of this. #cravings!

"Wild Wild West" Pet Fiesta 2017 | Setia City Convention Centre

So over the weekend, i got a chance to catch the Wild Wild West Fiesta 2017 and if youre here to read all about it, i'd be more than happy to elaborate on what you missed out on. But of course, with hopes that the organizers would re-plan another yet successful pet event, we can now keep our fingers crossed for an even better Pet Fiesta in the near future. If you're a dog lover, a cat lover or in fact, an animal lover, you'd be excited to see the pictures that I've included in this blog post.

It was held over the weekend from the 15th - 16th of April 2017 at Setia City Convention Centre which i was actually pretty surprised to the fact that it was held indoors! Lots of pets, in an air conditioned hall doesnt sound like a good idea, but surprisingly, i was impressed that somehow the organizers managed to control the odour of the animals, and that the pet owners present with their pets are really well trained to listen to orders thus made me feel very comfortable without the worry of being attacked. It was nice to get the chance to see pet lovers mingling around with other pet lovers and its also a great way to spend your weekend with your pets too! There was a charge on entrace fee of RM5, and i think that was fairly priced!

The whole occasion featured dog competitions, cat shows, a petting zoo, pet training, pet adoption and more! My favorite among the must-see events would be the MKA Dog Show. I've usually seen in through TV's, but seeing owners testing their dog's discipline live in front of my eyes was exhilarating (but it also could because im an animal lover). HEHE. Like any other animal events, cat shows are a must where cat owners show off their pet to visitors and other animal owners on how well-groomed and rare their pet is. And not to forget a little something for the kids, the petting zoo attracted a lot of the kids attention. From the photos i've attached above, you would notice how happy they are to get up close with animals they wished they had. (OVERLOAD CUTENESS!)

And just a little something for pet owners who would love to spoil their pet with love and affection, i was actually facinated to find interesting treats and gourmet food present at the Pet Fiesta. Since some of the stores were giving samples around to pet owners and non-pet owners, you'd be surprised how a small gesture would turn non-animal lovers to wishing they had a pet of their own. Hehe. Nevertheless, your pets would be spoiled with choices when it comes to food and treats that are unique to its own brand.

Variety is there where you can shop away to find something to pamper your pet with. And whats even better would be that they were having promotional offers during the Pet Fiesta! Just more reasons for me to buy and save, and give your pets the love they deserve. I managed to bring a few of my cats favourite treat back at a discounted price, and im really happy with my purchases during the event. But i still regret that i didnt get the cool pet bag that makes them look like an astronaut, which i will promise myself that the next time that i find these bags on promotions, i would buy on the spot! (And yes, the price was cheaper than the ones i usually see online guys!)

For the animal lovers who love exotic creatures, the Pet Fiesta also had a section for you to enjoy! I've never been a fan of reptiles and insects as pets, but when i got a chance to meet pet owners who has passion to raise these animals as pets, it was nice to gain some knowlege on the animals that i never really done reasearch about. I even got a chance to get a hold on to these exotic pets and somehow partially managed to face my fears at the same time! Yes, i was afraid, but not anymore! #achievement.

Well i would tell you so much more, but i'll keep the rest as a surprise when you decide to visit the next pet fiesta happening!

If you have the time, please share me your favourite animals in the comment box below. Cant wait to find out what the Pet Fiesta has in store next.

Unboxing CubeCrate; March 2017 Box

Unboxing  Cubecrates March 2017 box

And just to welcome April, my cubecrate for March 2017 is here! I know this may be a delayed post, but I would like to share with you on what I got from the March CubeCrate box. Surprisingly, this time around, they have turned the March box as a sleeping theme box. How exciting! I guess with CubeCrate, it's a hint for me to always get enough sleep despite working so hard. Boohoo.

Here's a little sneak peak on whats inside

So in the March 2017 box, we have 4 featured brands namely Candlenuts by Nadia (One of my favs from cubecrate so far), HowSmooth, J&E Botanicals and The Tea Republic. Now, I noticed that some are repeated featured brands, but since it's a different box, they offered something a little more different compared to getting repeated items. YAY! Now here's a tiny review on what I got.

Candlenuts by Nadia

The Special Edition Candlenuts by Nadia

I kindda think it looks pretty <3

First up is Candlenuts by Nadia! After about 2-3 boxes of receiving items from this brand, I must say that I have grown really attached as it has really de-stressed me at home thanks to its therapeutic candles that I would usually light up in my room when I'm feeling stressed. Candlenuts by Nadia are different than your usual candles because they use palm wax, which is better for the environment. I received a special edition candle in a shot-sized cup and I must say it smells amazing! I'm assuming that its special edition because it has unique shapes that pop's up in 3D to make it look fancier, thus it's no doubt to say that I love it.

HowSmooth
(Click for more info)

Packaging on point HowSmooth

This is my favourite item to use before i sleep

Next would be something new as this is my first time hearing about HowSmooth. What is HowSmooth you may wonder? Well, HowSmooth specializes in handmade soaps and body care products. Upon first impression, I'd say that the packaging is rather impressive, the fact that it's sealed. BRAVO HowSmooth! In my box, I received a sleepy rub and it contains coconut oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, essential oil of lavender and frankincense. I managed to give it a try, and just a few rubs of the product around your nose, I have instantly relaxed that it made me felt like sleeping.

Ps: good to use when you have troubles sleeping / bad to use when you need to get work done. Hehe.

J&E Botanicals
(Click for more info)

Body Lotion by J&E Botanics anyone?

Loving its water based texture btw

Next would be something from J&E Botanicals where the brand believes in providing a better lifestyle without toxic and synthetic chemicals. Got myself one of their handmade body lotions which I currently love to use when im indoors. It's cooling and therapeutic to calm the soul and mind. This is safe to be used at any time of the day, and I admit that it works well as a de-stresser too. Once my tub of 20gm finishes, I might be getting more of it from their store perhaps. Hehe.

thetearepublic
(Click for more info)

Tea ball by thetearepublic

Some instructions on how it should be served

And our last featured brand for this post would be from thetearepublic. After my first item I received from thetearepublic, I definitely knew that theterepublic will never disappoint. From the quality of their tea's to the taste of it, it's all maintained to be served to perfection! I still have a pack of tea bags from thetearepublic, and for the March 2017 box, I received tea in form of tea balls! New to you? Well, I'd say that these tea balls are rather rare in Malaysia for people like me to find, so I'm excited to test it out! Did you know that tea balls will bloom like a flower once it's placed in hot water?

OH lookie, a panda sleeping mask which i think is super cute!

And there you have it! 

And when I thought that's over, I also received myself a panda sleeping mask from CubeCrate  Malaysia. How sweet. Teehee. Thank you CubeCrate   So it looks like the March 2017 Box is all about pampering thyself and encouragement to give yourself a break. Just thinking about getting a break, I swear it has been a while since I pampered myself. (Workaholic issues). Thankfully with CubeCrate, I could skip the shopping experience drama. hehe. Till my next post gais xx

If you happen to want to subscribe to CubeCrate's subscription plan, be sure to head on over to Cube Crate Malaysia's website to see what plan they offer. In case you're wondering, each CubeCrate box is priced at RM35.
