Pablo Cheese Tart Malaysia | Matcha Cheese Series

Matcha Cheese Series

After all the wait, Pablo Cheese Tart Malaysia has finally launched their Matcha Cheese series! With all the craze going on when they launched their cheese tarts, looks like there will be another wave of fans looking forward to getting a taste of the freshly baked matcha cheese tart! And if you're here reading my blog on some insides, scroll away as I'll be showing you some images that would make matcha fans drool over.

Freshly Baked Matcha Cheese Tart

Azuki fillings spotted!

Fist up being featured would be the none other Freshly Baked Matcha Cheese Tart with Shiratama & Azuki. It comes in a huge tart which makes it perfect for sharing, and after tasting it our myself, I actually love how the matcha taste spreads in my mouth. Not to mention that it's filled with surprises inside that features shiratama and azuki fillings which enhance the taste of this Freshly Baked Matcha Cheese Tart. YUMS! I personally love it when a ball of chewy Shiratama surprises me in my mouth. Om nom nom.

Freshly Baked Chocolate Cheese Tart // Yep, they have it in chocolate too!

But of course, if you're not a fan of Matcha, chocolate lovers are not left forgotten. Another featured tart by Pablo would be the Freshly Baked Chocolate Cheese Tart. A bite of this would get chocolate lovers wanting more! Upon my first bite, I have to say that I truly appreciate the taste of chocolate with a slight hint of cheese, which I love as the flavor plays with my taste buds. Mmm. So again, both these freshly baked matcha cheese tart with shiratama & azuki and the freshly baked chocolate cheese tart are exclusively available at Pablo Cheese Tart Malaysia priced at RM49.90.

Matcha Cheese Soft Serve

For lighter desserts, or if you're specifically craving for something cold, you can opt to try the Matcha Cheese Soft Serve which I find rather unique. I've tried Matcha ice cream in Japan before, but never in my life I've encountered to Matcha Cheese Soft Serve! If you're a fan of matcha (and of course, cheese), you HAVE to try this tangy bittersweetness at Pablo! I can assure you that you won't regret it. Upon my first bite, i would say that this soft serve tasted milky + cheesy at the same time, an overall creating a very interesting taste. You can also choose to either have it served in a cup or in a cone too, its priced at RM11.90 per serving.

Pablo Frute Macha with Shiratama

Featuring the Matcha with Shiratama and Special Chocolate

Quenching for some matcha? Why not try the Pablo Frute Matcha with Shiratama. I'm not usually a fan of the bittersweet taste of a matcha drink, but this was truly exceptional. The drink features the chewy Shiratama, with matcha and red bean dressing all over, plus tiny cubes of matcha gelatin at the bottom of your drink to let your tongue dance to the flavors. If you always wanted to try something different than the usuals, this would not disappoint. Also, not to forget the chocolate lovers, for a sinful chocolatey drink, I would highly recommend you to try the Special Chocolate. *Apparently my favorite Chocolate drink at the moment* Each serving of Pablo Frute is priced at RM15.90.

Sabrel Cheese + Matcha

A close up shot of this yummy treat

And the Matcha craze doesnt ends there, as the Sabrel Cheese-Matcha is now available in store! I've tried their Sabrel Cheese when they launched, but I have to admit that the Sabrel Cheese-Matcha does add a slight kick to the sabrel cheese biscuit. Despite containing cheese, im surprised that the flavors were well balanced between the cheese and matcha. Each box of the Sabrel Cheese-Matcha come sin a box of 9 and are priced at RM36.90, and let me warn you that it's highly addictive! I'm already planning my second trip to get these stocked up at home.

Presenting to you the latest launch by Pablo Cheese Tart Malaysia

So that's about it on Pablo Cheese Tart Malaysia's Matcha Cheese Series. I've already seen the line building up when it was newly launched, and there's no doubt why. Get a taste of these amazing flavors of matcha by Pablo Cheese Tart Malaysia when you get the chance too. On a personal opinion, I would definitely be coming back for more Pablo Frute and the Sabrel Cheese Matcha, cause boy I'm hooked on these two!

[REVIEW] Jonlivia Woman Hotpants S+

Jonlivia Hotpants Review

To welcome the new year , its time to plan our new years resolution. To some of you who might know me, you would consider myself as a fit freak, and yes, I do try to keep myself healthy and fit because with all the activities that I involve myself in, having stamina helps to make sure I have the energy to do what I love to do. I know it sounds like the perfect lifestyle, but im still not too satisfied as I haven’t managed to achieve my dream ‘bikini body’ and since I do ballet, I noticed that my core strength is a little weak. And you guessed it! My new years resolution for 2017 would be to achieve a fitter body (with abs as a bonus). HAHA. So yes, lets just see how this goes.

Presenting to your my official workout attire X Jonlivia

To compliment my 2017 goals, I decided to get my gym outfit right. Apparently thermal pants are the ‘IN’ thing right now when it comes to warming up the body while burning fat in a shorter time frame. So, in this blog post, I’ll be talking about the Jonlivia thermal heat pants to find out how effective it is. I’d also be doing you guys a favour if you’ve been eyeing on Jonlivia by writing a review on it. Enjoy~

Every parcel of Jonlivia comes nicely wrapped

Jonlivia woman hotpants S+ // Arm Bands

Every Jonlivia thermal pants are sent over in a wrapped Jonlivia zip lock bag to assure that your order arrives to you safely. As you flip the bag over, it states that theres an instagram contest going on and look, I even got a promo code of 15% off on my next purchase (Thanks Jonlivia). There are also some caring instructions listed, just to make sure that your thermal pants are in good shape to last you longer. OH and look, I got myself some thermal arm bands too. LOVE!

Some fine prints

Getting a closer look to the Jonlivia thermal pants, they claim to be the No. 1 hotpants in Malaysia, and with that statement being on the pants, I can tell that they have put tons of effort and research to provide only the best quality. It also states that its made in Taiwan, making it an ‘almost’ international brand that’s local. *cool*. And again as a reminder, the pants highly highlights that its for cold wash and not suitable to tumble dry.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Overall design

As stated on the fine prints on the pants, Jonlivia is made of high-tech fibers of 100%genuine neoprene material that is solely built and carefully engineered by Jonlivia only. That pants increases body heat while coming in contact with skin with its unique fibers and materials that produces higher compression resulting in more sweating and burning internally.

15% Polyester, 70% Neoprene, 15% Nylon

The inner layering of Jonlivia Woman Hotpants S+

Unlike normal thermal pants in the market, Jonlivia uses their own fabric called the Jonlivia Air Fabric which is an original wicking performance fabric that moves moisture away from the skin. This feature has to be one of my favourite feature as it prevents my skin from feeling sticky, making it a breathable wear for those who prefers an enhance evaporative drying rate.

THE EXPERIENCE

Jogging in Jonlivia's HotPants

Oh you know, just planking on a sunny morning.

It doenst really matter what workout you do, as the pants are really comfortable and flexible to move around in. From cardio workouts, to body weight building, I honestly like the idea that it speeds up the process of burning fat (I feel it burn within the first 5 minutes). HAHA. Well, I don’t literally mean that it burns, but when it comes to starting my workout with cardio, I noticed that my body warms up faster than usual. Instead of an average of 15 minutes of cardio, I started sweating within the first 7 minutes!

VERDICT

It keeps me warm in the gym too

And yes, this burns really bad. TRUST ME! 

As a verdict, I have to say that this would be highly recommended to those who are serious about starting to workout OR to those who are looking to reduce on gym time if you’re considered yourself a busy person like me.  The design is high-waisted, and I think this beats your typical sport tights as it helps to burn fat around your tummy area too, which usually is left ignored (im guilthy). Hehe. Im also amazed to the fact that despite wearing it throughout my entire workout, I noticed that I don’t feel any sweat around my leg, but when I took the pants off, it was like my Jonlivia pants became heavier (Thanks to the sweat it has been absorvbing). HAHA. So don’t be shocked when you take off these pants, and you'll find it super wet!

I like how these pants comes with a tag too!

And i guess that’s about it for my review. The woman hotpants S+ Full Length are retailing at RM188  and are currently available from their official website at https://jonlivia.com. I know to some of you that it might be a little pricey, but it beats paying the gym every month if you ask me. I personally prefer investing more on appropriate gym wear that actually works! Also, if you would like to follow on their updates, be sure to follow their FB page at https://www.facebook.com/jonlivia/. Thank you for reading my review, do share me your thoughts on it by leaving a comment below.

[WORKSHOP] Cooking workshop ft. Lazada, Nestle Maggi & Tefal

Guess what cooking?

I might be a little late on this post since December has been 'pretty' hectic, but finally, i found some time to do write up about my cooking workshop experience with Lazada, Nestle Maggi and Tefal.  The event definitely brought back memories when i back in high school where i represented my school for a cooking competition! And im forever more thankful that i am given another opportunity to be all hands on with Lazada, Nestle Maggi and Tefal this time around!

Meet my team mates for the day // Missing one more person in the photo

So the workshop itself was rather exciting as i expected it to be more of a cooking demonstration, but i guess it was more than JUST a demonstration when the organizers split us up for a cooking competition (and yes, i was shocked to find out that i had to cook). The moment literally felt as if im a part of the famous master chef shows, and honestly speaking, the excitement and trill was almost surreal! But thankfully, i was paired up with another 4 team members, and they do have some cooking skills at home.

Head chef demonstrating on how to be Maggi products enhances the taste

Preparing Paella

Managed to score myself a Tefal Pan during Q&A.

The event kicked off with a cooking demonstration by the top chef, where we were demonstrated with some neat tricks on how to prepare Paella, where it consist of Japanese rice, seafood, tomato paste, paprika, bayleafs, oregano, scallops, octopus and more! I would list everything out if i could remember, but you can always google the recipe out and trust yout tastebuds when it comes to the portion of the ingredients. Teehee. Theres just something about chefs making everything look so easy, (especially when its ft. Maggi) making me wish i had the skills of a chef. Since i was paying a lot of attention during the demonstration, i managed to score myself a Tefal pan during Q and A sessions. Hehe.

Oh looks, its me getting the ingredients ready

Check us out being in action!

After the demonstration was over, we were then required to get into our teams and off to our cooking station. With 3 girls and 2 guys in my team, i think we were all ready to start! Every station had a cloth covering the ingredients, making the excitement pretty real as we wont know what to prepare until we find out what ingredients were provided. When they started the competition, we actually got butternut squash and beef as our secret ingredient. I admit i was rather thankful to get beef as a secret ingredient as preparing beef is easy. With only 5 minutes to decided on what to prepare, as a team we decided to split the responsibilities where half the group prepares stir-fry black pepper beef and the other half prepares butternut squash in turmeric.

Getting ready for the judging session

And our final outcome!

Good job team!

Given only an hour to prepare 2 dishes, im rather impressed that my team managed to complete the challenge. I guess this is where is say im thankful to have a great team to work with. Teehee. It was absolutely a fun experience and during the testing period, we got good feedbacks from those who managed to get a bite of our dish. YAY! In fact, i think every team who participated did an amazing job in preparing dishes with the ingredients given.

Congratulations to the grand winners, and of course to everyone else for being such a great sport

Photo opt with the head chef

All in all, it was truly a lovely experience to be cooking with Tefal's non-stick pans which you can now get from Lazada to send it directly straight to your doorstep without the need of walking out. Genuienely, im super tempted to get some for my kitchen since a little bird told me that there are massive discounts going on for Tefal merchandises, which alternatively you can click http://invl.co/6d5 to direct yourself to the page. (Youre welcome!) Thank you for dropping by my blog, and it was an honour to so-called 'entertain' you with my write up. Hehe. Till my next post xx
