Weekend Food Trip at: TuanTuan Chinese Brasserie

Every weekend, we make it a point to bond with both sides of the family, you probably knew that by now if you watch my stories.

So this post is no exception, we were off to bond with my mom-in-law at SM Megamall and I originally wanted Ooma because food there is great and my family haven't tried it there yet.  But...because it was weekend, line was too long so we went for the shortest line --- TuanTuan Chinese Brasserie.

TuanTuan Chinese Brasserie is Hong Kong comfort food with French Flair. True enough, you get the HK dishes with French interior. 

Internationally awarded in Vancouver, they are famous for serving comfort food such as congee, Macanese Rice Dishes, Halibut Noodle Soup and of course, Snow Buns!

Crispy Barbequed Pork Snow Bun

3pcs for Php148.00

It is obvious people (like me) would compare this to Tim Ho Wan.  I personally love the bun of Tim Ho Wan but prefers the Pork BBQ filling of TuanTuan more.  Tim Ho Wan's sweeter while this one has a distinct smoked BBQ taste which I find much more authentic (if we talk about Hong Kong Cuisine).  

CLINIQUE Pop Matte + Primer and Pop Liquid Color + Primer: My Initial Thoughts

I recently attended a launch for Clinique Pop Matte and Pop Liquid Color + Primer at SM Mega Fashion Hall and I couldn't be any happier!

Why?

1. I love the brand Clinique.
2. I love the pop of colors that screams --- My Personality.
3. I love that they now have matte lipsticks and liquid matte lipsticks in more colors!
4. I can mix and match and create any "look" or "vibe" I want!

The lovely spread of lipsticks and liquid lipsticks.

Brighter, Bolder than ever!

According to my quick chat with Clinique's Katie Reyes, we don't have all the shades available in the US website as of the moment but they are aiming to bring in ALL the shades because you know Filipinas, we love our lip colors as much as we love food!

Christmas Gift-Giving Idea: Crane Humidifiers and Purifiers

It is true what Crane says: "The Best Medicine is No Medicine".

I used to take at least one tablet of anti-histamines a day to ease up my skin allergies which I highly blame on both food and air pollution!  Mr. AMW actually bought me an Air Purifier a couple of years ago.  And now that we have Kyle, we were actually on a search for Air Humidifier too! 

Which is which?  Well, after attending their first ever event at L'Indochine a couple of days ago, I learned so much about Humidifiers and Purifiers I actually took notes and will share to you the difference and you'll see by the end of the post which your family needs!  I actually needed both!  And don't worry, these are not only cute, they are inexpensive as well!

Crane USA actually took a leap on creating not only good quality humidifiers and air purifiers, they actually followed their own mantra of "Design for Better Living".  As you can see, their products are not only functional and efficient!  They come in Adorable and elegant designs to fulfill any home improvement needs!

Now, let us first talk about Humidifiers ---

• They help increase air moisture for easier breathing and good night's sleep.
• Can relieve cough, cold and flu symptoms including nasal congestion, dry cough, sinus irritation, nose bleeds and dry skin.
• Can reduce mold and bacteria growth up to 99.96%.

And Crane actually came up with Adorable Cool Mist Humidifiers (Php2,799.75-Php3,499.75) to satisfy the descriptions above.  And aside from that, they can hold 1 gallon/3.78 L water and it can run whisper quiet up to 24 hours!  These CRANE Humidifiers can mists up to 250 square feet and has auto shutoff safety sensor!  Best of all?  They use less energy than a standard household light bulb!

 

I highly recommend the Adorable designs for household with kids and kids at heart!

H&M Finally in the Philippines! #HMPhilippines

I wore really comfortable clothes and shoes during the VIP event for H&M Philippines!  I was indeed, super ready to shop!

Everyone's crazy about the arrival of H&M in the Philippines and the day will finally be here!  Mark your calendars --- October 17, 2014 H&M Megamall Branch will open its doors at 9:00am!  

If you get easily sidetracked with clothes after clothes, well, I've taken ENOUGH photos for you to at least have an idea on what H&M Philippines has in store for you, at the same time, you can also take a peek on the really low price range!  My eyes literally popped when I saw tops priced at Php299.00, dresses priced at Php599.00, coats at Php1,299.00 and hair accessories for less than Php250.00!  You just have to really search from aisle to aisle, racks after racks!  

I know, I should just stop talking and share photos!  Enjoy!

Oh wait, some tips for you not to get "lost" during that day ---

First floor - Ladies, Accessories, Lingerie, Shoes

Second floor - Ladies

Third Floor - Kids and Infant wear, Men

Each floor has their own set of cashier, if you want shorter line, go straight to the 3rd level as lesser people line up there! (not always though)

 **warning, so many photos ahead!
