Hope you guys are doing well. Life at home hadn't been very interesting- I'm still stuck with my studies and there is one thing that I really need to keep me going throughout the day.. coffee. I posted about my new found love for cold brew a few months back in one of the posts but I've eventually decided to cut that little snippet away because that's just not how I make my cold brew anymore these days. Today, I'm going to share with you guys my new and improved method on making cold brew.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKWlrf3Fnfh4igXY3iYkg0hbusXmcBXFkmTOFzyNri4BoNKZy1JDkHZwf2sExpLrGJ923a67upneXHvo7f_Xej2alo8cDy_GO-CLSaiPBUXChDIs9-8BQOjfDlZweXXsnvT-G8x4n1JM/s1623/780390F3-0358-4C61-AF1E-CE63B8633193.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1623" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqKWlrf3Fnfh4igXY3iYkg0hbusXmcBXFkmTOFzyNri4BoNKZy1JDkHZwf2sExpLrGJ923a67upneXHvo7f_Xej2alo8cDy_GO-CLSaiPBUXChDIs9-8BQOjfDlZweXXsnvT-G8x4n1JM/w426-h640/780390F3-0358-4C61-AF1E-CE63B8633193.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Disclaimer: I'm not a barista or some coffee professional so my cold brew may not be as bombastic as the ones you get in stores but as an average coffee drinker, this is okay for me. This is just how I like to make my cold brew. Nonetheless, I hope you'll still enjoy reading this post! π</p><p>The main reason why I prefer cold brew over hot and freshly brewed coffees is because cold brew has lower acidity (which is great for people who have gastric problems like me even though it's not advisable for us to consume coffee) and it's richer in caffeine due to its longer steeping process. </p><p>Firstly, choose your desired coffee beans. It's totally up to you to choose whether to use mild roast coffee beans or dark roasted ones. I personally like using Starbucks medium to dark roasted beans because of their tastes. It's highly recommended that you use coarse grounded coffee beans for optimum taste. I've tried brewing using finely grounded coffee beans and the results were.. not so great because finer coffee beans result in bitter tasting coffee since their extraction rates would be higher than that of the coarse ones.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA5_ETYiXE4wJleWbLqqLM14G2UJUErwfvfO_J1JsNlm_CkREhH6jHN75Q_gjQze6KlZ63X1JlucLwS8UOmwkwwq88MqRc0gZr-xedj2iUMUuX9OJZcAFxUXr6vYFt8DHpG8GkKtTSanw/s2048/IMG_6667.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA5_ETYiXE4wJleWbLqqLM14G2UJUErwfvfO_J1JsNlm_CkREhH6jHN75Q_gjQze6KlZ63X1JlucLwS8UOmwkwwq88MqRc0gZr-xedj2iUMUuX9OJZcAFxUXr6vYFt8DHpG8GkKtTSanw/w640-h426/IMG_6667.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">Here, I'm using the Veranda blend (mild roast) from Starbucks because I just want to finish it off even though it's not my favourite choice of beans to use when it comes to cold brew.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #be490f;"><br /></span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #be490f; font-family: times;">Container</span></h2><p>Next, choose a container you'll like to steep your beans in. I got this blue wide-lid glass jar from daiso for RM5.90 and it works perfectly. I'd suggest that you get a glass container with a wide lid for easier pouring and cleaning. I've read somewhere online saying that it's best to make cold brews using glass containers since glass containers will not trap funky odours, therefore it won't affect the taste of your coffee. You can also choose to buy containers which are specially meant for cold brews from stores or online but I won't cover those here since I'm not using those.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIQeDtjnd9VJACVaRnBxIn4hB20IOaJ0TNWbiES6Yqpw5wFeAH2BT1P89HJnartlW07heDOjYtvxDphUQyY-Mz2_V-SpUQr6Ny0dChHWpCIXj0eCowB4pSZk22tvA-vjxXgK0O-1LFKk/s2048/IMG_6665.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihIQeDtjnd9VJACVaRnBxIn4hB20IOaJ0TNWbiES6Yqpw5wFeAH2BT1P89HJnartlW07heDOjYtvxDphUQyY-Mz2_V-SpUQr6Ny0dChHWpCIXj0eCowB4pSZk22tvA-vjxXgK0O-1LFKk/w426-h640/IMG_6665.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The glass container that I use to make the cold brew everyday.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #be490f; font-family: times;">Putting things together</span></h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjioadFE7i9wAk2sFLZ7eBKT_H51BSqIsHCVatHb_2qNB1HSR17Krg1ujRb7MvW9Ny8RvhQIfHyubW4qRO9Nt-Ve0Sr-ekbCi5W3ZXnZTc9DhfQzzbyBQUvB7tCQOMppgfj6TguIrBHLE/s2048/IMG_6669.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjioadFE7i9wAk2sFLZ7eBKT_H51BSqIsHCVatHb_2qNB1HSR17Krg1ujRb7MvW9Ny8RvhQIfHyubW4qRO9Nt-Ve0Sr-ekbCi5W3ZXnZTc9DhfQzzbyBQUvB7tCQOMppgfj6TguIrBHLE/w640-h426/IMG_6669.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I usually fill my glass with 3 scoops/tablespoons of coffee grounds for 2 servings.

You don't want to ruin your cold brew experience by drinking the unfiltered murky/sandy/disgusting coffee mixture. My personal favourite thing to use to filter my coffee is paper coffee filters. They are magical because they leave absolutely no grounds/specs or residue in your final product, ensuring a smooth and clean cup of cold brewed coffee. I've tried using cheesecloths and metal net filters but they won't produce crystal clear coffee. I purchased my coffee filters and the coffee filter holder device (plastic) from daiso, each for RM5.90. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbomb1W562nhn7ZVEa3_YznlCs-k5C0ioWD9iWgl61lbMeKxePXHflLXt-NGdnP87yyES0bgA_RoP3KKBLshhhdyPxbGdYVzYxMPnq9pd-cD6w4IFAYBznouuoMIAZ9OiqZvYLLjJ2580/s2048/IMG_6725.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbomb1W562nhn7ZVEa3_YznlCs-k5C0ioWD9iWgl61lbMeKxePXHflLXt-NGdnP87yyES0bgA_RoP3KKBLshhhdyPxbGdYVzYxMPnq9pd-cD6w4IFAYBznouuoMIAZ9OiqZvYLLjJ2580/w640-h426/IMG_6725.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got the unbleached coffee filter paper.

Heya! Hope everyone is doing well at home. 3 months plus had passed since the lockdown and honestly I miss going to school a lot. It sucks staying at home feeling unproductive all day - not that I have nothing to do, in fact there are loads of things that I need to read in preparation for the exams but I just got hit by cabin fever. I'm feeling so wonky lately. I sleep at 6am now (it's really bad, don't do this) and things are sorta becoming irregular for me. I thought staying home meant I have less chances of gaining weight since I'm no longer eating out that much anymore and you can already tell what happened next. π</div>

Since the lockdown, we have been stuck with loads of online classes daily so technically our eyes are glued to the computer screens all day and night. One thing I hate about reading from the computer is that your eyes tend to get irritated and dry, causing you to feel tired and unmotivated to do other sorts of things. I prefer the good ol' fashioned books and printed resources compared to reading cases online and etc. </div>

Thankfully, after about 2 months plus, the movement control order has since been replaced with the new recovery movement control order. The regulations are much lenient now compared to the previous 2 months. People get to go out and enjoy their activities and resume working again. </div>

I've dine out for about less than 5 times during this entire period of time and each time it feels quite odd to me. Dining out has now literally become a sort of 'special/precious/rare' opportunity because we no longer go out as much as we used to before. Also you have to scan the QR code everywhere you go now. Gotta get used to the new norm.</div>

One evening, my dad, sis and I went to try out the matcha parfait from the dessert store, 108 matcha saro at KLCC. They were having a promo for matcha parfaits. I can't remember what it was but if I'm not mistaken, it was sort of like a buy one free one promo.</div>

My sis got the hojicha parfait while I got the 108 matcha parfait. We loved the chewy dango rice balls that came with it. The ice cream was smooth and rich in matcha flavour- I really liked it. But I didn't really like the matcha jelly that comes with it because it's a tad bit too bitter for me. But overall, this dessert is really good. π</div>

Sighted a rainbow one lovely evening. The vivid colours of the rainbow were much more visible in real life as compared to them being in pictures.</div>

<div>
I caught myself thinking and reflecting a lot of things during this entire period of time. It's crazy how quarantining at home leads us thinking so many weird stuffs and etc. I thought about the past and lots of past events and etc then I got a little bit emotional over it. Sucks to feel this way but if you also find yourself being in this situation, just tell yourself that everything is fine and don't worry too much about things. Everything is going to get better and don't doubt yourself. Staying positive is the key to get you through these tough times. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whenever I felt sad or bad, I tried reading lots of articles online but to no avail. Then I tried meditation. There's absolutely no skills required and all you gotta do is to focus on your breathing. It's quite useful as it calms your mind down and helps you to relax. I've tried a few meditation apps but they all require in-app purchases. So, alternatively I went to search for some free meditation videos on YouTube and I've stumbled upon one which is quite good by Buzzfeed's Goodful channel.<br />

.. as in sea urchin in Japanese. Have you ever wondered how sea urchins taste like? I've seen way too many videos on youtube talking about how heavenly, amazing, great (insert whatever good words there are to describe something that is so wonderful here) sea urchins are. Back in February, when I was having a reunion dinner with my family in Kura, One World Hotel I ordered a small portion of this Japanese delicacy to try. </div>

Here's a 1/4 portion of the actual full serving of uni. Priced at RM65 as per the menu.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Comes with a little bowl of seaweed (in case you like enjoy the uni with seaweed and rice) and freshly grated wasabi.</div>

It was my first time trying out such a delicacy. I don't really know what to say about it but only one word, interesting. As in both its texture and the taste. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The uni had a buttery texture, somewhat like buttercream icing or durian; soft/squishy and smooth. The delightful part of it is that it melts in your mouth. The taste was really interesting. In the beginning, as you chew on it slowly, the uni gives off a sort of bittersweet taste. As you chew it further, that bittersweet taste will slowly turn into that fresh sweet seafood-y taste (like crabs). That's the best I can describe. π
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, I think uni(s) have a rather unique taste compared to other seafoods I've had so far. I wouldn't really recommend this to anyone unless you're really adventurous and like trying out new tastes then do go for it! π</div>

How's it goin'? I hope everyone here is fine and well.<br />
<br />
Today's the 12th day of the movement control order. God knows how long I've taken to publish this one short post.<br />
<br />
It's been officially announced that this movement will be extended for another 14 days. Is this good news or not? I'd rather leave it unanswered. But as long as this is done for the good of everyone's health, then I believe it'd all be worth it.<br />
<br />
I can't deny that staying home is kind of boring. I like going out. Being unable to go anywhere sucks. I have been craving for all sorts of things such as Yomie oats yogurt, bubble tea, all sorts of noodles and desserts but sadly, I'll never get to satisfy any of these cravings until this entire thing ends. But I guess I have made it through though! Within the entire week, I have never stepped out of my house before, not even a single step. π<br />
<br />
But my sleeping schedules have been fucked up really hard. I used to sleep at 12am or 1am (the latest) but now I can go up to 4.30am. That's actually not really good but considering the fact that I still get around 8 hours of sleep.. that's waking up at around 1.30pm-ish, it's still sorta okay to me. But please don't do this if you can. :)<br />
<br />
On the other hand, I'm just gonna contrast myself a little bit over here hehe, staying home isn't too too bad. I get to spend more time studying at home now than I used to before. On usual days, I have to spend so much time travelling to school back and forth and it's really tiring for me then as a result, I spend more time catching zzz(s) instead of catching up with all my work. So that's a yay. π<br />
<br />
Nonetheless, I'm still waiting for the day til everything's fine and over and we will all be able to go out again!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;">I have nothing interesting to share with you guys except some of the things I've done in the past few weeks so, enjoy!</span></div>

Dalgona coffee, which is a frothy milk coffee drink. This thing has been trending on the internet since the beginning of March (I believe?). My sis tried making one and here's a picture of it! She spent about 30 minutes whipping the coffee froth using chopsticks and a bowl π

I really have the urge to restructure my social media accounts including this one but I just don't know where to start. Should I erase the past bits and just keep the recent ones or should I just restart everything all over again?<br />
<br />
Anyways, here's one music I discovered today and I kinda like it<br />

HIYA FOLKS! It's great seeing you all again. The beginning of 2020 wasn't really kind to me; I was sick for an entire week and then classes have resumed so 2020 did start-off pretty rough.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
π¬</div>
<br />
There are quite a few things I'd like to write in this little space just to keep things updated.<br />
<br />
Okay, maybe I'll start off by summarising my thoughts about 2019. 2019 was the year in point where I decided to focus on improving myself and rediscovering my passion for things that I like such as art and crafts and photography. For the past 3 years, I have been dealing with quite a number of unpleasant encounters/events/incidents so these things had affected my mood and thoughts negatively.<br />
<br />
I'm glad that in the end, I have finally come to a point realising that maybe there are just some things that aren't worth the fight for and best is to just let them slip away and let things take its natural course.<br />
<br />
YEET<br />

Life in the past two months was pretty hectic. I had lots of CLP classes to attend and there were so many notes that needs to be done. I think life in the next few months will get even worse with lots of classes to juggle in one hand and revisions in the other. My civil law teacher always says this "You think this is tiring already? Ah, there's more to come." Clp is tough.. Imagine having to squeeze 9 different subjects of law into your head within a period of 9-10 months. My god.<br />

I shall come out with a proper blog post about the cold brew soon because I have a new and improved method of making it.</span></div>

HI! It's me again! Your favourite blogger, Doris!<br />
<br />
<i>*cricket noises in the background*</i><br />
<br />
Despite the lack of audience in this little space, nevertheless, I'm still posting something new for you guys today. This post is specially dedicated to my number 1 supporter/ fan/ reader and banana mate, BRENDA CHAN! I gotchu my g. π<br />
<br />
In today's episode, we're going to be doing another round of what's up Starbucks? In conjunction with the month of October- psst Halloween, Starbucks has released a special limited time only drink which is the Dracula Frappuccino. Heh heh heh heh..<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pic source: Starbucks</div>
<br />
I don't understand why I'm always up for such weird drinks. I think I'm always easily conned by advertisements and internet reviews. Someone needs to stop me.<br />
<br />
Again, as you guys know me so well you'd know that I wouldn't spend RM21.20 just to buy a venti-sized Dracula Frappuccino after the previous PSL episode right?<br />
<br />
I'll never learn.<br />

TADAA!<br />
<br />
Here's my underwhelming looking cup of Dracula Frappuccino which looked absolutely dissimilar to the one in the picture above. The one above looks so sexy whilst mine looks.. 10x miserable.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for disappointment immeasurable meme gif" class="n3VNCb" height="266" jsaction=" load:XAeZkd;" jsname="HiaYvf" src="https://i.imgur.com/SiVxw2k.jpg" style="margin: 0px;" width="320" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gotchu review brah, I truly do.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Aside from the erm, dissimilar appearances between these two, let's talk about its contents. According to Starbucks, it's made of sweet fig and raspberry juice, milk and chocolate whipped cream. It does sound really delicious!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But what does it really taste like? Okay, first of all, I have to say it tasted a lot better than the PSL because it's not insanely sweet. But, in my most honest opinion, I think it was kinda meh. It tasted pretty boring. Imagine mixing both milk with strawberry and raspberry jam together.. Yeah, that's exactly how it tasted like. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Haih, I have lost all my hopes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
But if I were to choose between PSL and this, I think I'd go for this one since it's less sweet. </div>
<br />
<br />
Somebody needs to start a petition to bring the cotton candy frappe back.<br />

Except here in Malaysia, we don't experience fall and it's pretty much summer here everyday- the f*cking hot weather man. But, I guess it's monsoon season now here in the Peninsular because it's raining like crazy almost every day here in Kuala Lumpur. The weather is being so bipolar! At one moment the sun is shining like crazy and suddenly in the next 20 mins, the sky turns cloudy and there comes the heavy downpour. It's just so unpredictable.<br />
<br />
Being a basic bitch (a lowkey one), I'm 'shooketh' to hear that Pumpkin Spice Latte is finally available here in Malaysia. It has never occurred to me that it is possible that one day the 'ever famous fall basic bitch drink' will ever be sold in Malaysia. I have heard lots of good things about the PSL from the internet, as usual. They say it's amazing and yadda yadda yadda.<br />
<br />
You wouldn't even need to guess what I did next because you all know me so well you'll know that I wouldn't spend RM19.60 on buying a grande-sized PSL Frappuccino right? <br />
<br />
Damn, I just let the cat out of the bag didn't I?<br />
<br />
I always believe that when you're curious about something, you'll just have to find it out for yourself. And so I did.<br />
<br />
I present you..<br />

Here's my cup of RM19.60 PSL frappe.</div>

I know right? It does look like some ordinary chocolate frappucinos that we usually order. It doesn't look really fancy or anything. Okay to be fair, it does have a very faint orange tint to the drink but other than that, it looks pretty much like the ordinary frappucinos. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I wasn't really impressed. π</span></div>

I'm sure most of you must wonder how does this pumpkin spice latte taste like. First things first, I must say it doesn't taste anything like pumpkin at all. According to wikipedia, PSL is a coffee drink with spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.. and nothing much pumpkin related.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let me be honest with you guys, all that I can taste from this drink is definitely both and coffee and the strong taste of cinnamon only. It does have a slight bitter spice taste which I don't hate but other than that, I think it just tasted like some ordinary sweetened coffee with pinches of cinnamon powder in it. Sorry to disappoint you PSL fanatics, I really can't understand the hype behind this drink. It wasn't bad but it's nothing bombastic either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My thoughts about this drink is that it's definitely not something I'd see myself buying frequently in the future (during autumn). It was definitely cool to be able to taste the real thing in real life already since I'm only seeing it on the internet all the time. Will I recommend this to any of my people? Not really, unless you love insanely sweet coffee and cinnamon flavoured stuff.</div>

Cheh, I thought you had anything else to say.<br />
<br />
Now I can no longer do whatever I like- that includes going to bed late, waking up late and sleeping for as long as I like. And worse, school's starting soon again. <i>*groans*</i><br />
<br />
But on the bright side, I really loved this year's summer holidays despite not doing anything really productive. Unlike previous years, this year, I got to rediscover my passion for art and craft and I did lots of things that I felt enjoyable.<br />
<br />
I don't really have any interesting stories to share with you guys since most of the days I stayed home but I'll just update you guys what I've done for the past 3 months briefly.<br />
<br />
You ready? Here goes nothing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
1. I made my first ever explosion box</h3>
For my sister's friend's birthday. I might upload a video of me doing that whole thing sometime in the future. Wait, cross that, I don't know if I'll ever bother to upload that video because I'm just really lazy to edit it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h3>
2. I visited the national science museum</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">I updated this before in a previous <a href="https://simpleharusakura.blogspot.com/2019/07/national-science-centre-malaysia-visit.html">blog post</a> so you can always just check it out.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
3. Realising that tea bags make a pretty good filter</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had sore throat the other day so I went ahead and made myself a cup of honey. As I looked into the cup, okay this may sound disgusting but yes I saw dead ants floating on the surface of the drink. I didn't want to waste this cup of expensive honey so what did I do? In order to save my cup of honey, I decided to filter all these dead things out of my cup. In that very moment, I thought I'd trying using tea bags as the filter. I ripped a bag of tea which I didn't really like, took all the contents out and started pouring my honey drink into the tea bag. To my delight, it worked wonderfully! The honey drink came out clear and free from any disgusting ants.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
4. Learning watercolour background printing techniques</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">Through youtube.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
5. Writing calligraphy again</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Using mixed tools like watercolour brushes, felt tip pens and gel pens. I really enjoyed writing them.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;">We had lunch together and then went for ice cream. Also a very great day.</span></span><br />

8. Got myself a tiny plant</h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I always thought it's nice to have a plant on my study desk so that it'll look more lively and less boring.</span></span></span> </span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">I won't deny, I do this on a daily basis but during the hols I tend to spend more time on doing it.</span></span></span>

<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Borhap is the best movie ever, period. I wouldn't mind watching it over and over again in the cinemas because the audio is the best there.</span></span><br />

11. Reading my first ever fan fiction</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">On Freddie Mercury. I'd never thought of reading these things until an internet friend of mine recommended it to me. It was bloody GOOD. <i>#noragrets</i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
12. Had my first Godiva chocolate ice cream</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">I'm not a big fan of chocolate so chocolate ice creams are not something that I'd usually crave for. One evening, as I was shopping with my mum and sis at KLCC, I saw many people holding cones of these delicious looking things. So I went ahead and ordered one. It was the best chocolate ice cream I've ever tasted, so far. It's really smooth and creamy. I kinda liked it.</span></span><br />

13. Went on a boba craze</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">I believe many of you did as well. After trying so many brands and types, I think XFT has the best brown sugar milk tea whilst Chatime has the best roasted bubble milk tea. I have actually stopped drinking these since weeks ago because I think too much sugar in the system messes you up badly. </span></span><br />

15. Visited the Batu Caves</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">It was an unforgettable experience. There were so many flights of stairs! The climbing wasn't easy considering the stairs were quite steep. Not forgetting to mention, there were lots of monkeys on both sides of the stairway. The cave itself was beautiful!</span></span><br />

I have great news that I'd like to share with all of you here-<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I'VE GRADUATED FROM LAW SCHOOL!</span> </div>
<br />
<br />
I'm so so happy! π<br />
<br />
After 3 years of hard work and invisible tears (because I don't cry easily), I have completed my law degree and soon I'm be embarking on a whole new crazy journey. I'm thankful for all the support and love I've received throughout my university days and I'm blessed to have met all these amazing friends who have never stopped motivating and guiding me along the way.<br />
<br />
I must say, doing a law degree wasn't easy<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (no flex intended)</span> and for those who have taken up a law degree course before would know the struggles we need to go through every single day just to get all the knowledge into our heads. I'm proud to say I have never skipped any classes before. π In fact, my friends and I frequently attended extra classes just to get that extra knowledge. I have never regretted any of these before because in the end, it's all worth it <span style="font-size: x-small;">(despite the tiredness)</span>!<br />
<br />
All I have to say is that I enjoyed my university life so much. The degree may be strenuous but I really enjoyed studying the subject itself. I really appreciate how the lecturers tried making every classes fun and easy to understand for us. Another most memorable part of my uni life is that my friends and I would sometimes travel to the city via LRT or MRT in between lunch breaks just for fun. π<br />
<br />
So what's next for me?<br />
<br />
I'll be attending CLP classes for an entire year and I have a feeling that I won't be active in social medias anymore, especially in youtube and blogger. CLP is a really tough course that requires a lot of hard work and persistence. With that being said, I can no longer fool around and I have to really give in my best shot in order to achieve good results.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Long story short, I've got the LLB already guys!</div>
<br />

It's 2019 and according to various sources, our ocean is contaminated with loads of plastic wastes ranging from plastic bags, to plastic cups, lids and all kinds including that one tool which everyone loves- plastic straws. Why is this bad news? The obvious reason being number one, it contaminates the water source and number two, it endangers the lives of the ocean creatures. It's never cool to see a turtle having a piece of plastic straw pierced through its nose and having to suffer that pain all its life.<br />
<br />
So, the ultimate solution was to ban all plastic straws and reducing the use of plastic products, especially plastic bags.<br />
<br />
I think it's a good initiative to reduce the use of plastic products so as to reduce plastic waste. Now, there are many stores, mall kiosks or even online websites are selling reusable straws that are made of glass, bamboo, plastic, paper, silicone and metal.<br />
<br />
The main focus of me writing this post today is, as the title suggests, my thoughts on using metal straws as an alternative to plastic straws.<br />
<br />
I'm not against the use of metal straws completely and the below are my opinions.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for gold metal straw" class="irc_mi" data-iml="1564845409092" height="554" src="https://www.lulus.com/images/product/xlarge/2260902_420672.jpg" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="369" /></div>

<br /></div>
<h3>
Why use metal straws?</h3>
Good question.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><b>1) Durability</b></i><br />
<br />
The main reason why everyone loves using these metal things is because it's really durable compared to other types of materials. It doesn't break easily. You don't even need to replace it so often.<br />
<br />
<i><b>2) Cheap</b></i><br />
<br />
It costs about RM2-8 per piece depending on the size and which seller you buy it from. It's a lot cheaper than using paper straws.<br />
<br />
<i><b>3) Easy to wash</b></i><br />
<br />
Provided you have a straw cleaning brush, washing becomes a really easy task.<br />
<br />
-<br />
<br />
Look, using metal straws gives you so many advantages! But what is the risk of using such things? Will it cause <u>any harm</u>?<br />
<br />
I have two metal straws on my own and I frequently use them to drink ice cold beverages. I really like sipping on sodas using straws. Technically, I just cannot live without straws.<br />
<br />
However, the truth about metal straws is that it can cause serious harm if not used cautiously. I'm not sure if most people are aware of a recent case where a woman passed away after a metal straw had pierced through her eye and brain because she accidentally tripped and fell over the metal straw. Yes, this really happened you can go google about this news online. To cut it short, the most serious risk of metal straws is that it can cause fatal injuries.<br />
<br />
Besides that, I noticed whenever I accidentally knock onto the end of the straw, even the slightest knock can cause a cut on the lip or worse, the gums. The cut made my lip swell and not to mention it was awfully painful too. As such, I personally think that we shouldn't encourage the use of such straws when it comes to children or the elderly.<br />
<h3>
<br />So what now?</h3>
<br />
My final thoughts about metal straws are that despite the many advantages, there remains the risk of injuries using such straws. Children and the elderly are not encouraged to use it as they are more on the vulnerable side.<br />
<br />
I agree that the use of plastic straws should be reduced but I think we should not ban it completely as there are still groups of individuals like children or the elderly would need to use them to prevent unnecessary harm and accidents. To those who wish to use metal straws, do exercise them with caution to prevent any injuries.<br />
<br />
Alternatively, use reusable plastic straws or even paper straws if you wish to cut down plastic waste.<br />
<br />
I have switched to using a <b>reusable</b> plastic straw as a safer option. I'll still use the metal straws that I have but not so frequently anymore because I'm very clumsy π<br />

HEY YA, it's me again with another blue coloured sea salt ice cream review. I'm really not supposed to eat so many ice creams because I have a weak stomach but yo I'm a sucker for any ice cream that's blue, especially sea salt flavoured ones. Now that I've tried the one from Family Mart (link), I'm up for more sea salt ice creams.<br />
<br />
In today's post, as clearly mentioned in the title, I'm going to review about the new 'blue lagoon' ice cream by The Whale Tea. The Whale Tea is a newly opened boba tea shop in the Curve, Mutiara Damansara. If you've watched my national science museum vlog in youtube, you might have already seen me trying out their boba tea. Their brown sugar boba tea is quite nice but that's not the main point we're here today whoops.<br />
<br />
I present to you, the blue lagoon ice cream:<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Without further ado, let me just state down my thoughts about this ice cream.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h2>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><br />THOUGHTS</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Presentation</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I shall start with the presentation of this ice cream first. Just like any other ordinary soft serves, it is served in a pretty standard waffle ice cream cone. What makes it different from regular soft serve ice creams is that the cone is black and this can only mean one thing- it is a charcoal flavoured (is charcoal even a flavour lolz?) ice cream cone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Another thing weird thing about this ice cream is that it had some crystal-like sprinkles on top. At first sight it looked pretty much like coloured sugar but no it wasn't! Those were actually popping candy! I mean, WHaaaAT? This is very bizarre to me because I have never ever come across ice creams with popping candy on it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Flavour</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It has a very odd flavour, at least to me. I can still remember the exact taste of this ice cream as I'm writing this post. I was expecting some fine-ass sea salt vanilla-ish flavours from this ice cream but NOPE. How do I even say this? The flavours were a bit complex to me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was definitely milky and creamy but it doesn't have much vanilla taste to it and neither did it taste anything like sea salt at all. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was confused. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The ice cream tasted pretty much like a regular mint ice cream without any chocolate chips. Not to mention that the popping candy was apple flavoured so it kinda messed up my taste buds because on one hand I can taste mint but on the other I can taste the apple popping candy. </div>
<h3>
<br />Texture</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was smooth and creamy so no complaints about that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Price</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
RM7.90 each. Not too shabby I guess.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ultimate question is, will I ever come back for this ice cream again? I have to say no because I didn't really enjoyed the flavours of the ice cream. It was weird to me. I have no hate against the ice cream whatsoever but it just isn't my cup of tea.</div>

I've had so many bubble milk teas for the past few weeks but recently I have started going on a 'bubble tea detox'- as in I have stopped consuming bubble tea for a period of time, maybe about 2 weeks? If you have read my previous bubble tea review, yes, the Xing Fu Tang one, that's the last time I have ever consumed a cup of bubble tea.<br />
<br />
But today, my sis and her friend went to Damansara Uptown and they discovered this beverage store called Cojiitii that sells a variety of drinks and bubble teas- almost similar to KOI and Chatime. I've heard of this store from Soju Twins on youtube but never have I thought of trying it out.<br />
<br />
Since my sis was there, I asked her to buy one for me.<br />
<br />
So today, we will be reviewing the Green milk tea from Cojiitii.<br />

<h2>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">THOUGHTS </span></h2>
Tastewise, it's like KOI, very light and refreshing. But this one has a stronger milk taste (it somehow reminded me of the taste of sweet condensed milk) and the tea is really fragrant. It has a very pleasant flower-y (jasmine) taste. The bubble/pearls were also chewy and golden.<br />
<br />
I really enjoyed drinking this one so I'd definitely recommend this to jasmine tea lovers.<br />
<br />
If I were to pick this or KOI (KOI used to be my ultimate fav), I think I will choose this one instead since this bubble tea is richer in taste. KOI's green milk teas are like a watered-down version of this.<br />
<br />

What's your favourite bubble milk tea brand?</div>

I love all things blue, especially when it comes to food and beverages or even desserts! Blue coloured foods never fail to attract me. This time, Family Mart has newly released their new Mediterranean Sea Salt Sofuto. That's quite a long name right? Okay for short, it's the blue sea salt soft serve ice cream and it is for a limited time only!<br />
<br />
You'd already know that I wouldn't want to miss out such an interesting ice cream!<br />
<br />
The last time I have ever had a sea salt flavoured vanilla ice cream was about 4 years ago and I really loved it! It was sold at a mini ice cream parlour named cremeo in Publika but sadly it had closed it doors about 2 or 3 years ago. Since then, I have never had any sea salt ice creams.<br />
<br />
My sis and I finally got our hands on this sea salt ice cream yesterday at one of the Family Mart stores! I know we're kinda late to the party but better late than never right? So, let's begin with the review!<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, this post will not have as many pictures as the other posts because erm..<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see from this picture, the ice creams are bloody melting already and the dude at the cashier did not do a great job at dispensing the ice creams..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The ice creams were slanting to the left/right! LMAO.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And it was nearly falling off the cone wtf.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we had to save em' real quick by devouring the top part of the ice creams first.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In case you were wondering, yes, we bought 4 ice creams in total and both of us had 2 of the cones each. Since we're at it might as well eat more right? <span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">π</span></div>

<h2>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">THOUGHTS</span></h2>
<h4>
Flavour</h4>
<div>
Flavour-wise, it's just vanilla ice cream with a tad bit of saltiness to it. It tasted quite like the famous Ikea vanilla-flavoured soft serve ice cream with just a slight salty taste. No complex flavours at all. To me, it's just a slightly more '<i>boujee</i>' vanilla ice cream compared to the regular vanilla ice creams. Nevertheless, the taste was good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Texture</h4>
<div>
Here comes the part which I didn't really like. The texture of the ice cream was slightly weird. I mean, it's smooth just like regular soft serve ice-creams are but it was a bit weird as you can see from the picture below, the entire ice cream was a bit foamy and bubbly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQcqpYYBOCoUhC6ja1nZUhbof140RN0fIzHCOQMxdTTNl1fcQA4GXX9-s5wR68ACvm_rMylLU_wWwoUnXODuK6W8ODYdGErEsIJxVJ-bDckcolPXCW3GXahN9Fd_6vU0E5GBhWvLyf-ss/s1600/Snapseed+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQcqpYYBOCoUhC6ja1nZUhbof140RN0fIzHCOQMxdTTNl1fcQA4GXX9-s5wR68ACvm_rMylLU_wWwoUnXODuK6W8ODYdGErEsIJxVJ-bDckcolPXCW3GXahN9Fd_6vU0E5GBhWvLyf-ss/s640/Snapseed+2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not sure if it's just the branch that we went to has such weird foamy textures to their ice creams or the ice cream is just such.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't really like the foamy thing that was happening to the ice creams cuz it surely did make me burp and my stomach bloated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Price</h4>
<div>
Considering it is just RM2.90 each, I would say it is pretty good price for such an interesting flavoured ice cream (despite its weird texture). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">W</span>ill I recommend this to my friends? I'm not really sure about that actually. I mean, don't get me wrong, I liked the ice cream (it tasted good) but the texture just wasn't my favourite. But if you haven't actually had any sea salt flavoured ice creams in your life before, you can definitely give this a go plus it's really cheap compared to other ice creams. </div>

There are actually so many places that we haven't actually visited in Kuala Lumpur, aside from the famous KL twin towers and the KL tower. I was browsing the net one day and I discovered this hidden gem- the National Science Centre from one of the travelling websites and without any hesitation I decided to give it a visit.<br />
<br />
It had never occurred to me that I should check out the National Science Centre because no one was even talking about this place. Oh boy I'm glad I found this place and I'll tell you the reasons why as I continue writing below. π<br />
<br />
First things first, the National Science Centre is located just a little further away from Sri Hartamas, maybe about 1km away. You can easily locate it using Waze or Google Maps.<br />
<br />

Walking towards the centre from our parking lot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
Then you may ask: "do they have parking there?"</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The answer is yes! We arrived at about 11.30am on the day of our visit and there were plenty of parking spaces. The parking lots are located just next to the centre itself so it's actually within short walking distance. And, they're FREE!</div>

<h3>
<br />Thoughts on the National Science Centre</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I absolutely loved the visit! My sis and I spent a total of 3 hours inside exploring all of the displays/exhibits. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The National Science Centre does offer a lot of interesting exhibits (although a small part of it are faulty and old) and I have learnt a lot of things from it as well. Plus, the tickets are really affordable- RM6 only! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So, if you have nowhere else to go this coming holiday, you can give this hidden gem a visit, especially you science lovers π<br />
<br />
I would suggest you to take your breakfast or lunch first before visiting this place because you'll never know how much time you would spend there and do remember to bring your own water. They have vending machines too but they sell mostly carbonated or sweet drinks.<br />

Hey guys! I was just casually browsing through some of my favourite songs in Youtube and I thought of sharing some (specifically three) of my favourite music bands and their songs with you all here.<br />
<br />
Most of the songs that I always listen to are old songs. I prefer listening to older songs compared to modern musics because I find that most newer songs are boring- they all have almost the same beat or composition and some of them don't even make any sense at all; the lyrics are just absurd. I don't hate modern music in fact, I like some of them like Dua Lipa's New Rules, Yuna's Black Marquee and Bilie Eilish's Bad Guy but just most of them aren't up my alley.<br />
<br />
And now, I present you my top three favourite music bands along with some of their music:<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
QUEEN</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for queen logo" class="irc_mi" data-iml="1561533024621" height="456" src="https://imgs.smoothradio.com/images/26964?crop=16_9&width=660&relax=1&signature=NVCgtyi1KSEvzRoufqfsYlI01LY=" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="608" /><img alt="Image result for queen group smiling" class="irc_mi" data-iml="1561532994390" height="360" src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/ad309b7319adf308aa774b2a29478af4/tumblr_inline_pr8ld7mRBv1s7dsg6_1280.jpg" style="margin-top: 48px;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Legendary British rock band, Queen.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
I loooooove their songs! I have constantly raved about their music to my friends and in my social media accounts because their songs are really damn good. I daren't say that I'm a fan of <i>ALL</i> their songs, I mean there are a few of them which aren't my favourites but still I enjoy listening to many of their songs, especially those that were featured in their 'Greatest Hits' albums. </div>
<br />
Listening to their music makes me feel good. Songs like 'don't stop me now' or 'we will rock you' give positive vibes and they have the magic to uplift one's mood. Trust me, you just have to give their songs a listen to truly understand how amazing they sound!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This song's a real gem and it has been dubbed as the happiest song on earth, according to a study done by Dr Jojij. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<h3>
COLDPLAY</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for coldplay" class="irc_mi" data-iml="1561534786609" height="359" src="https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/960x540/p05c99dh.jpg" style="margin-top: 22px;" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the top modern music bands til this date, Coldplay.</div>
<br />
<br />
Just like Queen, they are also a British rock band. I started listening to their songs since young because our local radio stations would play some of their hits like 'Fix You', 'Viva la Vida' and 'Yellow'. To me, Coldplay has always been one of the coolest bands because they produce songs that are pretty chill but at the same time, addictive. I still prefer their older songs compared to the latest ones.<br />
<br />
Some of their songs are uplifting while some of them are pretty emotional. Their songs have helped me get through many tough times I once had back then as a teenager and so I do have some sentimental attachments towards their songs.<br />
<br />

<h3>
MICHAEL LEARNS TO ROCK (MLTR)</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
There used to be 4 members in the band but now they are only left with 3 members.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another classical soft rock band, Michael Learns to Rock. Some of you may have known or even heard of them since a long time ago. MLTR was my dad's favourite band and he used to play their songs almost everyday in his car and so that's where I was exposed to their music. They then became my favourite childhood music band since then. Their songs are also frequently played in our local radio stations back in those days. One of their most popular songs was 'Paint my Love'. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also.. they started following my twitter account since 2 years ago! I was thrilled!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

THE BOBA TEA TREND IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD- I repeat THE BOBA TEA TREND IS TAKING OVER THE WORLD!!<br />
<br />
Like literally man.<br />
<br />
People in Malaysia have been treating boba tea or better known as 'bubble milk tea' like it's some sort of holy drink in the most recent years especially in 2018 and the present (2019). Social medias like instagram or even twitter are filled with loads of bubble milk tea pictures like nobody's business. Not to mention, the entire Klang Valley is now booming with so many new boba stores.<br />
<br />
I mean, what is going on man? Why is everyone even crazy about boba milk teas nowadays? Are they really that amazing? I mean, I've had a lot of cups of boba teas myself as well for the past few months but I think they're just milk teas with chewy tapioca balls. Honestly, it wasn't anything mind-blowing to me.<br />
<br />
It was known to me that one of the biggest bubble milk tea chains which is Xing Fu Tang have established their new stores here in Malaysia and it was only available in locations like SS15 (Subang), Kepong and Setapak. People were raving about how good these milk teas are and how different it is from other ordinary boba milk teas they have tasted before. Don't even get me started on the pictures man, they all look so bloody good.<br />
<br />
And yep, that's how my sister and I got conned. We then decided to give this boba milk tea store a try since it's such a popular thing in town now. I hope we ain't late to this XFT milk tea party π¬<br />
<br />
The XFT store that we went to was the one located in Laman Rimbunan, Kepong. The store is spacious and its walls are painted in white. Only complaint was that the cashier lady was a little bit rude. Other than that, everything was fine.<br />
<br />

According to youtube videos and various online sources, we have to stir the drink 18 times to fully enjoy the drink's taste. </div>

<b>Thoughts</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The boba was freshly roasted with, of course as the name suggests, brown sugar and it was still hot when the drink was served to us. The liquified brown sugar that was clinging onto the inner walls of the cup then began to crystallise as it comes into contact with the ice cold milk, turning into tiny pieces of brown sugar flakes. Thus, whenever you sip the drink, you can feel there are some tiny sugar flakes inside of your mouth so do remember to chew a bit and don't drink it in a gulp otherwise it might scratch your throat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The drink consists of very sweet frothy milk that has a creamy texture to it. The boba(s) were really chewy. The brown sugar was nicely cooked- it doesn't have any burnt taste to it. I dislike brown sugar milk teas that have a burnt caramel-ly taste. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would rate this drink a 7.5/10 cuz it's pretty good- it's got that rich milk and cream taste but unfortunately it was too darn sweet. It made me feel like I was drinking a cupful of sugar..</div>

This drink is slightly more expensive than the brown sugar boba milk probably because it's made of real mango puree. This drink also consists of pink coloured strawberry flavoured boba. Funky! This mango smoothie was blended til smooth using real mangoes instead of those chemically sweet mango cordial syrups. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The boba(s) were strawberry flavoured however, I couldn't really taste any strawberry flavours in it maybe because the drink itself is already rich with the taste of mango, hence overpowering the flavours of the strawberry boba.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The white rabbit panda cotta doesn't really have any flavours or distinctive taste to it. I think it's just made out of agar powder and cream. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I would rate this drink a 7/10 and again, it was too sugary for my liking..</div>

This one's a pretty ordinary drink consisted of merely green tea, sugar and lemon slices. I've nothing much to say about this one because it's just a pretty standard type of drink. What could possibly go wrong with lemon and tea? But it was definitely quite pricey compared to many other types of drinks you could get out there.</div>

The fun thing about this store is that it has a huge wooden box engraved with Chinese numericals that allows you to pick your lucky quote of the day. First, pick your stick from a huge wooden container right underneath that box. Then, referring to the number stated on that stick, you get one piece of paper from one of those tiny drawers. There you have it, your quote of the day. Some quotes are inspirational and some are a bit silly- like the one in the picture above haha.</div>

I think the beverages were okay, it's actually quite nice but it wasn't truly bombastic or anything. To me, it was not really worth the hype. But still, for those of you who are fine with really sweet beverages, you can definitely give these boba teas a go!</div>

Last week, my sis and I decided to have our lunch at the Jamaica Blue cafe located on the first floor of Midvalley. The cafe has been there for years but we have never really thought of trying it out with our parents before since my dad isn't really into western food. That morning was the perfect opportunity for us to try the food out there since we were kinda craving for western food and only both of us were there.<br />
<br />
We 'discovered' this cafe through the zomato app while browsing for restaurants and cafes.<br />
<br />
The ordering process is simple. Just head over to the counter to place your order and they will hand you a table number stand. After that, just choose wherever you want to sit and place that number stand on your table and the staffs will deliver the food and drinks to you.<br />

Blue latte. RM14.10 (large).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of ordering coffee, my sis and I agreed to try out their blue latte since it's blue! It's got a very interesting colour unlike other normal latte(s) that have a soft brown colour. Both of us shared a cup since we don't feel like drinking much that day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It turned out that this blue latte had no coffee in it at all! According to their website, it is actually a blend of white chocolate, milk and blue curaçao syrup. Sounds basic but it actually tasted really good! The blue latte had a very sweet vanilla taste to it and not too sugary. We loved it.</div>

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog! The feeling of writing a brand new post is a little bit odd to me especially since I've decided to quit blogging months ago and here I am sitting infant of a laptop deciding to write again. Nonetheless, I still feel very honoured and grateful to be able to blog again so I do hope you guys will enjoy reading my posts!<br />

Will you ever imagine yourself stepping into a cooking academy wanting to learn something when you're clearly not interested in cooking? I definitely wouldn't. Cooking has never been my thing and it will not be. But I like baking. I love cakes and desserts. Baking gives me joy because I get to see what types of monsters I get to create. Nah, just joking. I like baking, especially cupcakes as I get to be creative in twisting the recipes, like turning simple vanilla cupcakes into rainbow cupcakes. Also, I get to learn a few tips from baking even though the end products don't always turn out great.<br />
<br />
However, I tend to use pre-mixed cake batters whenever I decide to bake because I believe pre-mixed ingredients are mostly fool-proof and I do not have to go through the hassle of buying all the ingredients separately and then measuring them in wrong amounts resulting in chaos and waste.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A</span>bout 4 days ago, my parents and I stumbled upon this cooking academy which I believe most of you may have heard about it before which is the ABC Cooking Studio in Pavilion KL. They were having promotional trial classes for first-timers who are interested in joining their cooking or baking classes. They also offer a variety of other classes like Japanese dessert classes and international cuisine classes. I got one of their flyers and brought it home for reference. I browsed through their website and my parents agreed that I should give one of their trial baking lessons a try since I'm pretty free at the moment. So, I signed up for their sakura cheesecake baking class at RM70 (first-timer and must like their FB page).<br />
<br />
Shameless to say, this is my first time baking without using pre-mixed ingredients and I'm excited about it!<br />
<br />

My mum fetched me there and we arrived 10 minutes earlier than the specified time which is 7.30pm. According to the email that I've received, it stated that students are supposed to be there 10 minutes beforehand and students that are late for over 10 minutes will not be able to join the class. Thus it's crucial that you reach the class early instead of being late.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to wear aprons and wash our hands before joining the class.</div>
<br />
<br />
Not forgetting to mention, they also provide lockers and this means you can safely keep your bags and belongings in the locker without having to worry about them.<br />
<br />
Each class can have up to 4 students per table. My class had a total of 4 students including myself. My lesson instructor was a guy but he was patient and did provide good guidance. The class was conducted professionally.<br />

<h3>
My thoughts on this</h3>
The class was enjoyable since you get to create your very own sakura cheesecake from scratch and the studio was bright and fully air-conditioned. The studio uses top quality kitchen tools like hand mixers from kitchenaid and ingredients (I believe) as well.<br />
<br />
There's just one thing- I was a little bit disappointed because 2 of my classmates weren't exactly friendly and so it wasn't really comfortable learning with them but another classmate of mine was really helpful so it kinda made things better for me.<br />
<br />
Overall, I would recommend those who wants to have a try at cooking or baking to join their trial classes since it's affordable and enjoyable. But it's totally up to you if you want to join their full-time cooking courses.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm really happy that I get to make my very own successful cheesecake!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Yes b*tches I'm BACK!</span><br />
<br />
About 3 months ago, I was pretty fed up with the entire blogging thing already mainly because of the issues caused by Flickr and hence I decided to quit. During that moment, I did take some time off thinking about it. Am I really ready to quit blogging? Or am I just doing it out of anger at that very moment of time? At first, I really thought there is no more hope in blogging but then I thought to myself, blogging has always been something that I really enjoy doing so should I actually give it another go?<br />
<br />
The answer is clearly <b>yes</b>.<br />
<br />
But what about the picture storage issues? Good question, I honestly haven't given much thought about that but I thought I would sort it out later. I may just switch to using google photos first and I'll just leave my Flickr account out to chill. I'm just too lazy to give a damn about that account anymore. I did realise some of the pictures went missing in some of the posts and I'm also lazy to care about them and so I will leave them as it is.<br />
<br />
I have also cleared some of my old posts as they were pretty cringey and non-informative based (in case you don't understand what I'm saying I mean they're useless lol). I still keep some of those in my blog as they are of sentimental value, at least to me.<br />
<br />
If you noticed, I have also made some changes to the blog. I have given it a brand new header- but a temporary one because I plan to replace it with a nicer one in the future and also new signature and some minor modifications on the sidebar.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again, welcome back to my blog and happy reading!</div>
<br />
<br />Doris Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16154413590948938394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7548683337337757199.post-80280421785816731892018-12-25T23:34:00.001+08:002018-12-25T23:35:02.658+08:002018 <br />
I initially wrote another blog post to sum up all the things that I've done and experienced in the year 2018 but I've decided not to post that one cuz it sounded quite emotional and sad. Here I am, sitting infront of the laptop writing a brand new blog post to conclude everything about 2018.<br />
<br />
2018 is the year I turned 21. It's by far, the strangest (or should I say worst) year of my entire life because there were just way too many things that had happened.<br />
<br />
Pewdiepie once said in one of his videos,<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"2018 should never have happened. It's just getting worse.."<br />
<br /></div>
<br />
Well sometimes I kinda wished 2018 had never happened before but at some point, I'm grateful it did because it taught me quite of lot of things.<br />
<br />
Let me sum up what are the things I've learnt and experienced this year:<br />
<br />
<h3>
1. I loved Bohemian Rhapsody (watched it 3 times!)</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for bohemian rhapsody" height="334" src="https://www.foxmovies.com/s3/5af0be90d4ff9.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for bohemian rhapsody movie gif" height="340" src="https://media1.tenor.com/images/e15488cbbe9e6f03008848a7efae86bd/tenor.gif?itemid=11940220" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Google images</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I cannot say enough of this movie because it was really good, at least to me. There are a few differences between the real Queen history and the movie's storyline but nevertheless the movie was beautifully shot. I really enjoyed the movie. If you haven't watched it, I'd recommend you to watch it! I'm so gonna get the DVD version of it once it's on the shelves. π</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
2. Became a fan of Queen's songs</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for queen band gif" src="https://66.media.tumblr.com/066ee16ab638e9f283540075b109f10b/tumblr_phqf73Ukqx1ttjuet_500.gif" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Google images</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not jumping on the bandwagon but after watching that movie, I went to do some research on the band's history and songs. I listened to a few of their hits and I instantly fell in love with them. Their music just speaks to me for some reason. I expected rock songs to be a bit too loud for my liking but to my surprise, their songs changed my perception towards rock music. When I think of electric guitars and drums I think of the high pitched and loud noises they make but after listening to their music for a while, I sort of got used to these types of sounds already. I really do love a lot of their songs such as 'Don't stop me now', 'Play the game', 'I want to break free', 'Radio Gaga' and 'You're my best friend'.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, not to mention that each of the band members are actually really cute.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
3. Went to Bangkok</h3>
<div>
It was definitely an eye-opening experience for me and my family. Loved the food and people there despite the not-so-amazing hotel experience. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
4. Went on non-dairy food alternatives</h3>
<div>
I had to stop myself from consuming dairy products as they are bad for my stomach. I tend to puke whenever I consume food or beverages containing dairy products like milk or cheese. This also means I can no longer enjoy ice cream, milk tea and almost anything that contains milk. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tried out a few alternatives such as almond milk, rice milk and oat milk and I preferred oat milk the best as it has that rich and fragrant taste to it. Also, I can only enjoy ice vegan ice cream or sorbet or sherbet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It wasn't easy for me but I just had to do it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
5. Enrolled into year 3 of university</h3>
<div>
A little bit early to say this but hey, I'm completing my degree soon! This is my third year in the UOL LLB programme and things are getting way harder than it used to be, especially with the subject called Jurisprudence that deals with law philosophies. I personally do not quite like that subject even though it's pretty interesting to learn because when it comes to applications, it sucked big time. I really hope I can finish this degree smoothly!<br />
<br />
<h3>
6. First ever drum class!</h3>
</div>
<div>
I always had a thing for drums since young but I was afraid to try it out because well, I had no guts lolz. I wasn't confident enough to learn drums because I always thought they looked difficult to be learnt and all but after years of hesitation, I did it! I registered for my first ever drum class! As I'm writing this, I have yet to attend the class.. The class is on this coming Saturday and I hope I can learn a few tips and tricks from it. Fingers crossed! I might consider buying myself a drum set in the near future and start playing it during my free time. Can't wait!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
7. Started making some vlogs (for fun)</h3>
<div>
I love watching other peoples' vlogs but I have never thought of making my own vlogs. After much thought, I decided to give it a try and I enjoyed making them! However, I have to admit such videos are quite time consuming and difficult to edit especially the subtitles, they can take you HOURS to do it. I'll make more of these whenever I have the time in the future!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
8. Made my own bubble tea</h3>
<div>
After a few tries, my sis and I managed to create our very own bubble milk tea! The most difficult part of creating a nice cup of bubble tea is the pearl making part. That can take you literally two hours and a lot of hardwork otherwise you will end up getting a pot of oobleck (gross). But still, it was fun!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
9. Tried out some expensive stuff (food)</h3>
<div>
Laduree macarons and Kyoho grapes. Both were quite expensive but didn't disappoint but not sure if I will ever get them again. Maybe I'll get those Kyoho grapes again next time cuz they're good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
10. It's okay to be emotional</h3>
<div>
I confess, I've been through quite a numerous times of emotional roller coaster rides this year. Inevitable heartbreaks, arguments and bad happenings.. it was quite tough for me to cope with those times. There are also times where I felt lonely for god knows what reasons those are for. I think, after being in such situations it had taught me one thing, that is, to voice out your thoughts or to share your problems with someone like a friend or someone whom you can trust.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Surround yourself with lots of good and supportive friends. Seek help and not keep everything to yourself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Alternatively, keep yourself occupied with hobbies or activities or even trying out things that you have never ever tried doing before. From there, you might pick up one or two things that you like or discovering that you're actually good at doing them (not s*x pls lol). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h3>
11. Just be the best version of yourself</h3>
<div>
Really, do what you love and just embrace your own style. Fuck what everybody thinks of you because darling, you only live once and so just do whatever makes you feel comfortable and great about yourself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don't have to try hard to be someone else otherwise for the rest of your life, you will only be busy chasing other people's lives and not living in your own.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And remember, stay humble.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Thanks for reading, wishing everyone a happy new year and may 2019 be a smooth sailing year for the all of us!</div>

Hey guys! Just want to share my thoughts on the movie- Bohemian Rhapsody. I've never been a big fan of any movies, especially when it comes to one's biography or something like that but this one was quite exceptional. I fell in LOVE with this one. I think this is the best movie that I watched in 2018.<br />
<br />

<h3>
What is this movie about?</h3>
Generally, if you have watched the trailer then you'll roughly know what the contents are about and if you haven't, this is for you. The movie is about the rock band, Queen. Yes, the band whose songs are super catchy and popular such as "We are the Champions" and "We will rock you" that you've most likely heard during your school's sports day. In the movie, it emphasizes mostly on the late lead singer, Freddie Mercury's life and the band's music and history.<br />
<br />
I'm not gonna share much details regarding the contents of this movie because I don't want no spoilers. Hehe.<br />
<br />
<h3>
What do I like about this movie?</h3>
I confess, I don't know anything much about Queen because I was born in the late 90s. I wasn't really exposed to their music except for both of the popular songs as mentioned above. I have never been a fan of rock music because the sound of certain music instruments in it- say the electric guitar wasn't my favourite type as it's sort of high-pitched. However, after watching this movie, my perception towards rock music changed a little.<br />
<br />
I kinda started liking Queen's music.<br />
<br />
And their members, they're really cute though (in real life).<br />
<br />
Also, another thing to love about the movie is the fact that the movie is shot beautifully. From the scenes to the way of how they introduce or depict things is just beautiful. I love the quality of the movie. It wasn't over-dramatic nor was it boring. It was pretty interesting to understand the background of the band, their success and how they get inspirations to make their music.<br />
<br />
The cast of the movie did a great job too. Rami Malek, the actor who played Freddie Mercury was spot on. It was difficult having to mimic the real Freddie's movements and stuff since he is a flamboyant person yet Malek managed to do so which is impressive. Another actor, Gwilym Lee who played Brian May looked almost identical to the real Brian too, we couldn't differentiate between the both of them! π<br />
<br />
Personally, I have read some information about Freddie's personal life in a few websites the day before I watched this movie so it did helped me a little in understanding what the movie was talking about.<br />
<br />
The movie has a mixture of feelings in it, from being happy to becoming emotional.The emotional part was when Freddie announced his illness yet he show signs of positivity, that made me cry a little.<br />
<br />
One thing that I wasn't satisfied about was the fact that this movie was cut 24 minutes shorter (in Msian theaters) than its original movie. There are quite a bit of things which I wasn't able to understand while watching the movie due to these missing scenes but other than that, everything was good.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the movie a lot. β¨<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you haven't watched the movie, go watch it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's pretty darn good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm gonna watch it again!</div>

What is the first thing you think about when it comes to macarons? Its color? Its price? Its brand? Or its taste?<br />
<br />
I personally think what makes a macaron stand out from the rest is not because of its beautiful colors but because of its taste and texture. I ain't a macaron fan so I don't really know how to judge whether a macaron is fantastic or not but to me, what really matters is the taste of it. I enjoy macarons that aren't too sweet. π<br />
<br />
LadurΓ©e.. Its macarons are claimed as the best macarons you could ever find in Paris.<br />
<br />
Is it true that these macarons are really that amazing?<br />
I guess I just gotta try it out for myself.<br />
<br />
But one thing about these macarons is that it is undeniably expensive. Classical flavoured macarons cost RM12 each whilst the premium flavoured ones are RM18 each. Pop one into your mouth and yeap, RM12 is gone within 30 secs hahaha.<br />
<br />
I couldn't believe I have spent RM98 on a box of macarons! Mind you, there were only 6 pieces in it so you can imagine how quick my sis and I could finish them, maybe within 10 minutes? LOL. π<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It's okay, you do crazy things once in a while in life.<br />
<br />
<br />
So here am I, proudly presenting you the most expensive macarons I've ever bought in my life! π₯<br />

As far as I can remember, the ones with edible silver or gold foils on top costed RM18 each, an extra RM6 compared to the ordinary flavoured ones.</div>

Let's begin with Marie-Antoinette tea.<br />
<br />
This macaron had a unique flavour which I really couldn't figure out what it was made of. According to one of the websites, this one is made of a blend of black tea, rose petals, citrus fruit and honey flavours. But it wasn't my favourite tbh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/gp/51599433@N03/307ZEu" nbsp="" title="IMG_2484"><img alt="IMG_2484" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4916/45903375802_c8686847eb_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
Rose petals.<br />
<br />
As literal as the name suggests, it tasted like roses. There's nothing much to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/gp/51599433@N03/0Kq9X1" nbsp="" title="IMG_2487"><img alt="IMG_2487" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4871/45903371642_345feb9f68_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
Strawberry and cream.<br />
<br />
This was our favourite! It tasted very much like strawberry milk. Its filling is made with real vanilla beans (when you look into the cream, you can see specs of vanilla beans in it).<br />
<br />
Very pleasing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/gp/51599433@N03/19g62L" nbsp="" title="IMG_2493"><img alt="IMG_2493" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4858/45228446344_0e3aee49f1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
Silver vanilla.<br />
<br />
Just a basic vanilla macaron with edible silver foil on top but I also liked this one a lot. It has a genuine and fragrant vanilla taste to it. Again, the filling of this macaron is also made with real vanilla beans, just like the strawberry macaron above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/gp/51599433@N03/28b45B" nbsp="" title="IMG_2501"><img alt="IMG_2501" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4867/31013627407_25389295e2_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
Gold chocolate.<br />
<br />
Chocolate macaron with edible gold foil on top and a rich chocolate-y filling. The chocolate filling tasted like expensive dark chocolate with hints of sweetness to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/gp/51599433@N03/K3CAcg" nbsp="" title="IMG_2513"><img alt="IMG_2513" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4918/45040510255_15feeb4148_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />
Raspberry.<br />
<br />
Raspberry macaron with sour raspberry jam filling. The raspberry macaron shells are sweet so the flavours are balanced by the sourness of the raspberry filling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/gp/51599433@N03/a00ts9" nbsp="" title="IMG_2526"><img alt="IMG_2526" height="480" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4812/31013575107_71b99b320c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script><br />

My thoughts on these macarons</h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think they're pretty good! I loved the texture of it, not too crunchy yet not too soft, just right. But it does taste a little bit too sweet for my liking. However, I gotta say I prefer these over the TWG tea macarons. The flavours of these macarons are much more genuine compared to the ones I had in the past. These macarons are best enjoyed with either tea or coffee. Worth the try but I don't think I'm going to get any of these anytime soon again because I don't want to break my wallet hahahaha.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyways, thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed!<br />
