Wacoal's 'b.tempt'd' Launch Event

I was thrilled to be invited to Wacoal's new lingerie line launch at Isetan KLCC! I must say that I have zero or little knowledge about lingerie so this event was a good opportunity for me to know more about this trend-setting lingerie brand.

B.tempt'd (pronounce as be tempted) was originated by the famed Japanese innerwear producer, Wacoal in the US. It targets the young and young-at-heart and is set to become Malaysian ladies's new BFF!

 Me posing with Wacoal's B.tempt'd product! It's fun to look at bras with various designs and colours and I really like Wacoal lingerie because it is functional and trendy at the same time! It's quite important to invest in a good bra to avoid wearing bra that causes burden or discomfort.

Some gorgeous looking bra you wouldn't want to miss trying! Look at the striped lingerie! So fashionable!

 How about some extra push up to look more womanly in your sexy outfit?

Floral design! How cute!

I absolutely love the details on it.

 Cute Wacoal ladies who are ready to help you out with your queries.

The new b.tempt'd push up bra has successfully tempted me over because of its vibrant colours and gorgeous cuttings.

Weeeee.

 And there's a lucky draw event too! Me posing with my lucky draw number that wasn't lucky enough to be chosen on that day. =(

I was so hungry halfway through the event and I quickly munched on the purple macaron Wacoal gave us. Everything is in purple on that day including the macaron!

Woooo, I feel like I'm the little plump boy from the Disney animation 'Up'! Feels extremely cheerful holding the huge balloon cluster!




Be sure to head over to Wacoal counter at Isetan KLCC to try out the latest B.tempt'd range! At a pocket-friendly price of RM119.00 and above, the fun and fabulous b.tempt'd is now available at Wacoal Young counters at Isetan KLCC and Isetan One Utama!

The Bread Shop @ Damansara Heights

I'm not a hardcore coffee drinker but I love exploring places with aromatic coffee and hard-to-resist pastries. There's just something about coffee shops that makes me fall in love with. After my previous visits to Kaffa Espresso Bar and Artisan Roast with bestie Hui Ming, we just couldn't stop searching for more coffee shops and this time we headed to...

The Bread Shop! 

Well, strictly speaking The Bread Shop is not really a coffee shop. As its name suggests, The Bread Shop is a bakery shop selling freshly baked bread and pastries but also serves coffee and sandwiches so it is a perfect place for us to meet up and enjoy coffee. 

Coffee is the one thing we wouldn't miss. So pictures of coffee first.

Latte. We both like how they add the chocolate syrup and cocoa powder on the thin layer of milk foam. Coffee is fine, not too heavy and not too light. The cappucino is similar with the latte as both have similar foamy milk layer. Now I'm quite confused between these two.

Next, pastries.





Coffee Swirl. Recommended by many bloggers but I find it ordinary. Nothing to boast about. We were slightly disappointed because there's not much coffee flavour in it otherwise it is a well made pastry. Sweet, soft and buttery.

Mini mushroom quiche. It's not the typical served hot quiche you would normally have. This one tastes like salty egg tart with very little mushroom which we could hardly find. Certainly not worth the money.

Roast beef with ciabatta with onions, mushrooms, mayonnaise, lettuce and relish. An ordinary sandwich. The ciabatta bread is slightly tough to chew. We wanted to order the roast beef and caramelised onions sandwich (which we fell in love with when we saw it on a blog) but we made a wrong order and ended up having this.

Banana butterscotch. This is my favourite and is one of the popular pastries which was sold out on that day. Looks like a bee hive, isn't it? It is beautifully coated with caramel and stuffed with delicious banana filling underneath the layers of crispy bread. I love banana so every bite is pure ecstasy.



Me with the birthday girl.

Hui Ming and her birthday present!

Love this picture of Hui Ming. <3

And that's me!


Overall, I think this bread shop is a little bit over-rated. However, you are lucky if you live nearby because the pastries are freshly baked and delicious. There are many foreigners and office workers who look like they are regular which proves that the quality of the pastries here is unquestionable. Does it live up to its reputation of being the top 5 bakeries in KL? Well, I think so.

Healthy, Low-Carb Meals Compilation

It's getting easier for me to follow a healthy diet plan because I have explored various healthy meal recipes which eventually makes cooking healthy food something that I enjoy doing besides working out. My diet plan involves no simple carbs and consists of mostly protein, complex carbs and fibre. So when I go to the market for grocery shopping, the food items I would normally grab are farm eggs, chicken breast, minced chicken, salmon, mackerel, fresh lettuce, brocolli, strawberries, blueberries, banana, other vegetables and fruits I feel like buying.

So here are my healthy meals for the week!

 Korean egg roll.

Grilled chicken meat ball.

 Chicken meat loaf.

Mustard crumbed grilled chicken breast.

 Roast chicken.

Guacamole (Avocado salad).

Banana and blueberry vanilla protein pancake with cottage cheese.

Banana protein pancake with cottage cheese.

Tuna and cottage cheese salad.

I love cottage cheese recently because it has high content of casein which is a longer lasting protein and it is low in fat. However, one cup of cottage cheese costs me RM12.90. Sigh.

So which one of the above is your favourite? Protein pancake is my favourite because you can never go wrong with pancake. 

I guess that's all for today's health conscious post!

P/S: Happy Birthday to my bestie, Hui Ming!
