Starbucks’ Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

This cake is actually good but I find it too sweet. I ordered it together with a hot green tea latte. I bet it goes well together with coffee.

Well, I can’t drink coffee because of my gastric problem. Too bad.

I cannot give a detailed review for this piece. I wasn’t really paying attention to each bite because I was playing the addictive game Candy Crush Saga.

It has the right amount of chocolate and peanut butter taste. Not like one is “over powering” the other. The chocolate flavor is not too sweet, just right. But the caramel on top is just too much.

I’d probably buy this again to try it together with coffee. Not so sure when though.

2013 Birthday Celebration

Posted by on Apr 1, 2013 in From The Heart | 0 comments

I was feeling really sad weeks before my birthday came.  I’ve been celebrating my birthday here in Singapore since 2009, away from my family and love ones.  But good friends have always been there to celebrate it with me and I really am thankful for that.

Sky Watch 20130201

I saw this tree the other day. I’ve never noticed it before and I’m not so sure what type of tree it is but it’s effect, without leaves against the sky, I find it very solemn. It reminded me so much of the conversation I had with a friend earlier that day.

Ovaltine Sandwich Cookies

I don’t know how long these Ovaltine cookies have been in the market but I just saw it the other week. Because I love eating chocolate powder, just the powder – be it Milo or Ovaltine, I decided to try this one. I was hoping the filling would taste just like the Ovaltine drink powder. And I was right!

There’s actually nothing special about the taste or how it was made. It’s just plain Ovaltine sandwich cookies but I love it. It’s not too sweet, just right. It doesn’t crumble easily so it’s not messy to eat. Not too hard but just the right crispness for a sandwich cookie.

As for the price, it’s actually cheap. One box has 12 packets. And each packet contains 3 pcs.

I brought it to the office so I’d always have something to munch while I’m bored.

Try it!

Legoland Adventure

Posted by on Jan 7, 2013 in Featured, Travel | 0 comments

I had an adventure before 2012 ended. I went to Malaysia to visit LegoLand.

I just traveled by land. Took the bus (CW3/CW4) at Jurong East Bus Interchange.  The traffic jam was horrible.  The bottleneck was at the Singapore immigration/customs.  After passing through the immigration, I took the same bus going to Malaysia.  Again, traffic was a pain in the neck and almost everyone in the bus were anxious.  I guess, most of us were going to Legoland and trying to catch the 10:30AM bus.  It was already 10:20AM and we were still on the road, caught in a jam just before the Malaysia customs/immigration.

Upon reaching the immigration building, everyone were almost running toward the counters to have their passports stamped.  I was one of them.

I missed the bus.  If I wanted to take the same bus, I have to wait for another 2 hours.  That’ll be a waste of time so I asked around if there’s another bus I could take to Legoland.  Fortunately, there is still one more bus which will be passing by Legoland.  I took it and I was again, faced by another problem.  My Ringgit bills were all in 50′s and I have to pay 2RM only for the bus ride.  I have to pay the exact amount.  At this moment, I felt like I was in that amazing race show.  I have to ask everyone in the bus for a change.  I have to go around the terminal to look for a change as well.  I was running out of time because the bus will be leaving soon. The smallest change I got was in denomination of 10RM notes.  I had no choice.  I paid 10RM for a supposedly 2RM bus fare.  Goodbye 8RM.

Finally, I reached LegoLand. I was starving but I just have to take that first photo at the entrance before looking for a place to eat.

I used my iPhone 4 to take the photos.  I have a lot more photos to share but it’ll be like leaving you with nothing to look for if I posted them all.

The place is amazing!  Kids will surely enjoy most of the activities here.

Special thanks to S.  :)
