Whimsical Gelateria & Caffe by Cielo Dolci @ Publika – Bacon, Sangria, Rum & Raisin, Baileys ice cream

An avid supporter of Cielo Dolci, I have always admired the founder for his ingenuity in creating unique yet clever flavours that works.
Cielo’s Nasi Lemak gelato is first in the country and he continues to surprise with unexpected flavours like tau fu fa (soymilk), kedondong, Genmaicha (roasted brown rice + green tea), pineapple tart and popcorn.

Second Helpings Singapore & Peanut Butter Factory KL – Chunky Peanut, Cashew Butter & Almond Butter

I’m not entirely a hardcore peanut butter /nut spread fan but just like instant noodles it is one of those items that I’ll buy in every country that I have visited.
Europe’s supermarket shelves are amazing and I recall seeing some really good ones while I was in The Netherlands.
Even Singapore’s range of nuts spreads on its supermarkets’ shelves beats Malaysia’s anytime.

Having said that, I had moved away from buying commercial nut spreads a while back.

I started with Joey’s Peanut Butter as he was the first Malaysian (that I know of) that went commercial making peanut butter and selling them from home.
While his was ok, it didn’t quite hit the spot for me as I found it to be too mild.

Next I sampled Nuts Enough and was bowled over by the rich and and nutty taste of their nut spreads.
Having funky and creative flavours like Cookie Dough Cashew Spread (RM 25) and Dark Chocolate Cashew Spread (RM 25) does add to the novelty factor.

Hennessy X.O Appreciation Grows Johor Bahru – Chef Viet Pham from Forage, Utah

Words can’t express how happy I was to be present at my 5th Hennessy X.O Appreciation Grows dinner in Johor.
Every Hennessy X.O Appreciation Grows dinner had showcased amazingly accomplished chefs who whipped up some of the most tantalizing meals I’ve ever had.
Every Hennessy X.O Appreciation Grows dinner had been a money-can’t-buy experience.
While in truth I personally enjoyed a few more than the others, I can’t deny that each dinner is executed with class befitting of the Moet Hennessy Diageo brand and each session still manages to surprise.

Tony Roma’s Raises the “Steaks” – more steaks on the menu!

Steaks are one of my personal favourite food.
And since price is never an issue for me (unless it’s unjustifiably pricey for the quality offered) I can be selective of the meat (cut, type and cattle breed) and the places where I eat my steaks.

But when Tony Roma’s launched their Raises the “Steaks” promo and I was given the opportunity to sample the new steaks, I couldn’t resist accepting the invite.
I had thought that it would be marvelous news to share on my blog since good affordable steaks are something that my friends and readers are always keen to know of.

Ice creams NEVER failed to cheer me up.
Like cakes, I must have my weekly dose of this icy, sweet indulgence. It would have been daily dose if it wasn’t for the fact that I have a strict workout regime and my wardrobe only consist of very tight fitting clothes. 😀

PS: Do you know that the NZN outlets now offers FREE SPEEDY WIFI and a book corner? You don’t have to walk and eat your ice cream now.
Sit back, relax, flip through a book/magazine and savour your food/drink/ice cream!
