Mandarin Wok Cafe Experience

We went to SM Mall of Asia (aka SM MOA) yesterday, to...well..SHOP!

We had a quick lunch so by 5pm, both my hubby and I got super hungry! We saw this resto called Mandarin Wok and this resto reminded us so much of "Cafe de Coral" in Hong Kong. Cafe de Coral is like a MUST for us to eat when we go to HK :) So we gave in and had a snack there.

This is how the restaurant looks like with their big menu on the wall. Self service though, pay as you order




We decided to give in to the Braised Soyed Tofu as I'm a tofu lover. What I like about his is their presentation, he tofus were arranged pretty well and it looks really presentable. The only thing with this is, this would taste way much better if they fried the tofu instead, this tastes ok but not "wow".

(Braised Soyed Tofu for Php55.00)

We ordered the extra large Beef Wonton noodle soup as we plan on sharing! :) As compared to the small bowl, this is how big it is....

(Beef Wonton Noodle Soup for Php135.00)

The beef tastes really good, soft and easy to chew. The wonton can be improved, as the wonton is quite small. Noodles and soup tastes great! But with the XL serving, they should've added more noodles.

Overall, the experience is ok, we will come back again to try their bestseller of Baked Chicken rice and Baked Pork Chop Rice. Both are in HUGE servings, good for sharing and Php185.00 each.

Enjoy your Sunday guys! Happy food hunting!

I Shopped at Strawberry!!!

Thanks to Kikay Exchange, because of them, I learned about Strawberrynet

I've been browsing the site again and again and I've always wanted to try to buy from them as it is free shipping and at the same time, they've got discounts and freebies.

This time, they give out free Lancome Lipstick (but only in one color available, I believe it's in ROSE) for New Customers and they give you 5% discount on your total bill if you buy 3 products and above.

I ordered 3products and paid via paypal. I just want to test their products, services etc... I've had mascara ordered online before and when it arrived, it was really dry and old. I forgot the site (sorry) but it is difficult to go through the refund process so I just let it be :D I am very careful not to order mascara online not unless, someone bought from it and can say the products are really brand new :D

Here's the 3 products I ordered, I'm so excited :D



Stila Smudge Pots Gel Eye Liner in Black for USD14.50





Arezia make-up kit (36 e/s, 4blushes, 3 brow powders and 2 powders)
Original price: USD52.00
Easter sale discount: USD26.00




MAC small eyeshadow pot in Falling Star USD17.50 (not the shade above)


I can't wait for the stuffs to arrive, will let you guys know how my online shopping experience :)

My 28pcs Suesh Brushes

I am so happy!!!! I finally got a complete brush set!!!! Well I've been buying lots of brushes individually but I am always eyeing for a good brush set that's, of course, on the budget!

Remember I told you guys about the CAS classes that I modeled for? I was so into learning as well so I was looking around what my friend is using. She was using this powder blush on my face, which by the way felt sooooo good and doesn't hurt at all, and I just can't keep my eyes off the 16pcs brush set right in front of me. I gave up and asked her. This is what she reacted when I asked "What brand is that?" She went: "It's super cheap! It's Suesh brushes" I was like, omigod! I've been lurking around the Suesh site and read a lot of good reviews about these babies, I just can't seem to order it as I am a person who likes to use my 5senses when buying stuffs. Now that I've seen them, touched them, smelled them, etc... I am SOLD!

I got home, told my hubby about it and you know what???? Things went on sooo fast and here's my 28pcs Suesh Brushes!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!

Trust me, people are NOT joking when they rave about the famous Suesh brushes, they are not exaggerating, they are really WORTH IT.

Update: I've put each brush a sticker with my NAME on it. I'm a PROUD MOMMY!!!! hehehe

28pcs brush set for Php4,500 (checkout Suesh website)

The Face Shop Fruit Jelly Tubes Review

I have always been a lip gloss person as I have dry, chapped lips. So if given a chance that there are new glosses out there, I would really reach for it to try it. One of the few glosses I've tried is The Face Shop's Fruity Jelly Tube. I like it so much that this is part of the "beauty giveaways" to my bridal entourage on my wedding day :)

*approx Php 200 something (sorry can't remember)

It is not sticky, and it has a faint smell and tastes good. It has a bit of shiny sparkly specks and it just looks natural and lovely!

I will repurchase but I already bought all their colors :) Maybe, if they have a new color coming up, I'm willing to buy again :D

Razon's of Guagua Pampanga Experience

I've heard a whole lot about the best Halo-halo in town. From Razon's . I've always been curious with both food and cosmetics (I know, not a good combination) but both makes me happy :)

For friends who are not familiar what a Halo-halo is, Halo Halo is a famous dessert in the Philippines. It is usually filled with lots of native goodies like gelatin, banana, coconut , etc..

With Razon's, it's amazing as there's only 3 ingredients: sweetened banana (saging na saba), strips of macapuno and leche flan (Philippine version of a pudding) ** Php 75.00




I also ordered their famous Pansit Luglog, one of their best seller... (Pancit Luglug for Php120.00)




And their hamburger and fries... (approx less than Php100)




Overall, I felt that there are better halo-halos out there (sorry to those Razon's halo halo lover) , I think one major factor the halo-halo is their bestseller because of their super crushed ice. The ice just melts easily in your mouth and you can taste the sweetness of the milk. I find it a bit too sweet for my taste but it's ok for a "once in a blue moon" cravings.

The "pancit luglog" is yummy, nothing spectacular, but it tastes good. The burger and fries? I'd rather go for McDonald's or Brother's burger :D

Overall, I may come back again, if I crave for their halo-halo :)
