Frozen yoghurt places are popping up everywhere, and I was curious to see what all the fuss is about. Enter Yogurtland. I definately up for an afternoon yogurt treat!<br />

Yu see I got a bit carried away with trying the various yogurt toppings and flavours. The trick is being able to pile it up without everything dropping. Price is calculated by weight. This cost me about $12.<br />

<br />
My favourite flavour was Taro, and for toppings you have to try the yummy cookie dough =)<br />
<br />
It really hit my sweet spot!<br />

501 George Street, Sydney<br />

Sedap means delicious in Malay. Fitting word to describe the newly opened Sedap branch in Regent Place on George Street, Sydney. Sister branch to the Sedap Chatswood Westfield, and also the Sedap in the ANZ Tower.<br />

On first impression, the store fit out from outside has a very Malaysian rustic food hawker store feel to it. Get there early to avoid the queue or the possibility of sharing table.<br />

<br />
Roast Chicken with Chicken Rice + Soup is hearty and filling. Very generous portion size. Food was lukewarm, would have preferred it to be a tad warmer.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to check out the fried range of snack sized delights such as fried banana at the front counter. Overall a very authentic Malaysian menu. Will be back to try the laksa next time. </div>

Whether you're a tourist, or a local just looking for a buffet breakfast, then the Glass Brasserie may be a good choice. Plenty of variety of breads, cereals, fruits, hot and cold food and conveniently located in the Hilton Hotel Sydney. The restaurant is operated by celebrity chef Luke Mangan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Staff are friendly and very helpful. There are menu items which can be requested and are included in the price of the buffet. Just stand near the hot food station, and a staff will come to take your order. I tried the eggs benedict, and waffles with chocolate sauce. I'm one of those people that attempts to try everything in a buffet, but alas I filled up too quickly early on. So I will be back to try the danish and pastry selection next time =)</div>

Leave it to grow in a warm but shaded spot. Water occasionally and in about 2 weeks, you should start to notice some growth! </div>

Alice's Makan is conveniently located in the HSBC building food court in Town Hall. It's my go to for Malaysian food in the city when I want a quick and hearty meal. My favourite is the fried radish cake! Cause I love fried things, and I'm a big radish cake fan. Plenty of flavour from the smokiness of the wok, fried with egg and bean sprouts. Perfect for lunch.<br />

Enter Jurlique Rose hand cream. I've heard rave things about Jurlique, but I've never tried their products before. <br />

The hand cream has a beautiful rose smell that's not too intense but very lovely and girly. It makes your hands feel very luxurious after you apply. A little goes a long way. <br />
<br />
Made in South Australia, it absorbed instantly into my hands. After applying it daily for a week, my hands are feeling more moist. In fact, I've become addicted to the rose smell, that I'm contemplating trying some of the other products in their rose range. <br />
<br />
I bought the 40ml hand cream for RRP$28. It also comes in a 125ml version.

GYG's Burrito's are extra generous. Nicely filled with all the goodness of rice, black beans, salsa, and your choice of meat (chicken/pork/beef/fish) or vegetables. You can choose to have it in the burrito wrap, or without the extra carbs (a burrito in a bowl!), like I have done here. Great value at $10.90, will keep you full for a very long time. Especially for the guys. <br />
<br />
While you are at it, ask for your free loyalty card. Every dollar spent adds up to GYG dollars. $150=10GYG dollars that you can redeem. <br />

It was his first visit to Singapore as creative director of the French luxury house. Certainly this proves that Singapore is an important force in the fashion world. Not many countries can lay claim to say that Karl Lagerfeld was there... Fashionistas in Singapore you've got that one thing. <br />

It's 12.05pm on a Tuesday afternoon, and I'm thinking <a href="http://www.chefsgallery.com.au/" target="_blank">Chef's Gallery</a> for lunch. Now I've heard that it gets busy, and I thought really? On a Tuesday afternoon? Well indeed it did. I managed to get a table before the queue started to form at about 12.30pm. </div>

Had the soup noodle which comes with two pork ribs, and the snowflake chicken with fried rice. You can probably find a similar version of these dishes at Din Tai Fung. Are they just as good as at Din Tai Fung? I think they are. Service is quick and efficient, there are plenty of waiters on standby to fill up your water, or answer your questions. The fried pork and chicken was really crispy and beautiful! You'll love it if you love fried food like I do :) And the fried rice is very similar in taste to Din Tai Fung. Just saying... Will definately be back here. </div>

Peplums. They are the latest trend in ladies fashion at the moment. I see them everywhere. Peplums in all sorts of shapes and colours. Supposed to give you more lady like curves, but do they flatter everyone? <br />
<br />
If you are not familiar with the term "peplum". Basically a peplum is flared strip of fabric that is attached at the waist of a jacket, dress or blouse. <br />
<br />
See exhibit A.<br />

Well in my quest to find the right "peplum" for me, I've discovered that no one peplum is the same as another. They come in different colours, shapes, flares, and sizes. I've tried on so many, to the point where I've told myself, enough is enough. Peplums do not suit me. Where they tend to sit on my waist, tummy, hip area just seemed to be all wrong and made me look really odd. However, before I could give up in finding "my peplum", I stumbled across a great one in Witchery that fits me perfectly. And makes me look curvy & shapely! Ha! :) <br />
<br />
So what's the key to a great peplum? Fits tight at the waist and clinches in, then fluffs out a little bit. Peplum tops go great with skinny jeans! I've discovered that the peplums with alot of material (fluffs I call them) don't suit me. Likewise, I need peplums to sit a little bit lower than my waist. Alot of them sit high up on the waist, which makes me look unbalanced. To counter this, try a size bigger, which might make all the difference in where the peplum sits. I found that this worked for me. <br />
<br />
The moral of the story is, if you are craving a peplum (like I am), keep looking until you find the perfect one that fits your body. And don't be disheartened because some of the measurements of these peplums really do make you look and feel odd. They should flatter you.Keranciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06050433994309768561noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416902619671373001.post-29610750785162998802013-04-14T23:09:00.000-07:002013-04-06T23:09:39.167-07:00This is my life & I'm happy to be living it<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The specialty of this restaurant is the duck. And the way it’s served to you. A chef slices the duck in front of you, and places the finished dish in front of you to be best eaten wrapped in the pancakes. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
At $69 it's an expensive duck, so enjoy the culinary show of the chef while he prepares the duck for you. <br />

Clear soup. Chinese green vegetables. Pork and prawn filled won ton. This are the elements of a classic Chinese won ton noodle soup. When I feel like eating a "lighter" chinese meal, I normally have a won ton noodle soup. </div>

What a great idea. Happiness Workshop! Recently I went into a Kikki K store which sells gorgeous stationery, and they were running workshops on Happiness. I thought this would be a great way for me to start the New Year. Not really knowing what to expect I signed up, and I was pleasantly surprised.<br />
<br />
<o:p><a name='more'></a></o:p> <o:p></o:p>The Happiness Workshops are for 1 hour and you have to book at a Kikki K store which runs them. You can find out the session times on their website. Cost is $39.95 and includes a complimentary "Happiness" journal RRP $39.95. So literally the cost of the workshop is free. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The workshops are run in store, so they section off a part of the store. The session I attended had 10 other lovely ladies. Our consultant was Emma who was bubbly, friendly and really easy to get along with. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Emma started off the workshop by going through some Happiness Concepts, and then we went through our new Happiness journal and did three exercises:<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
1. What makes you happy?<o:p></o:p><br />
2. Self rate where you are now checklist.<br />
3. Reverse bucket list. Writing down all the wonderful experiences you've had in your life so far.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The exercises are done individually and it’s up to you whether or not you want to share your thoughts with the rest of the group. That's what I thought was great about the whole experience. There was absolutely no pressure to share (or not share) your answers to exercises. It was completely up to you. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
I got a real buzz from the Happiness Workshop and lots of great tips on how I can implement little changes into my life, so that I can get more out of life and appreciate each day. In short, this means changing my life, without having to change my life. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Some of the tips which I learnt were: Making a note of two good things that happened to me each day; and making a mental snapshot throughout the day of the little things I enjoyed. This helps with being able to live in the moment, and only takes a couple of minutes each day to do (so there are no excuses, even for those who are flat out busy!). <br />
<br />
Participants were offered 10% off the priced of full priced items in store, at the end of the session which were purchased on the night. <br />

1a Hunter Street, Sydney. <br />
<br />
With the wave of the food revolution, Masterchef, My Kitchen Rules hitting our shores, we are all becoming increasingly well versed on our culinary knowledge. "The Best in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sydney</st1:place></st1:city>" is a common phrase I am seeing these days in good food guides. So this brings me to my discovery of possibly in my opinion the best har mee (prawn noodle soup) in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Sydney</st1:place></st1:city>.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Har Mee $9.50</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<a name='more'></a>The Har Mee has a beautiful authentic taste. Rich flavoured broth with a spicy sambal. This is the real thing. Here. And the best part is? If you ask for extra sambal, (like a true Malaysian or Singaporean would) it tastes damn good and spicy! I love how it has all the traditional trimmings you would find in a traditional Har Mee like the half boiled egg and sliced pork. Great Har Mee without having to get on a plane to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Malaysia</st1:country-region></st1:place>.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
Lee's Malaysian used to have a shop in the HSBC building in Town Hall, but that’s now occupied by Makan at <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alice</st1:place></st1:city>. Head over to Lee's Wynyard store on <span class="street-address">1a <st1:address w:st="on"><st1:street w:st="on">Hunter Street</st1:street>, <st1:city w:st="on"><span class="locality">Sydney</span></st1:city></st1:address><span class="locality">. Opposite Wynyard station (<st1:street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">George Street</st1:address></st1:street> side). </span></span><br />
