飲茶 Dim Sum

Had Dim Sum today...


Here are some of my favorites...

Deep fried seafood salad roll 黃金海鮮沙律卷


Steamed red dates cake 養顏紅棗糕


Red bean soup 紅豆沙


Coincidentally they're all sweet...
what can I say....I have a sweet tooth! ^_^

一半一半甜品屋 Fifty Fifty Dessert



Why the name?




Dark Chocolate Brownie!

It was very rich tasting without being too sweet.


Bread Pudding topped with vanilla ice-cream

Doesn't this remind you of Christmas?


Thanks for stopping by

Packages can be deceiving

I was shopping around in a local grocery store and found this...


Don't be fooled by the packaging. It's not milk...it's shower gel packed in plastic milk carton.
Very cute packaging indeed. It can also be deceiving because I doubt it has any milk content at all. But I have to admit that they did a great job at the packaging!



It says at the back "not food. Do not drink"


Today was holiday so I decided to make some beauty soup ^_^
It screams collagen!!!!! Love it!

Umm...Hot Pot!!!

Hot pot @ Café de Coral  大家樂 火鍋

This is what L♡VE feels like!


Japanese style

I Love this so much that it deserves a bigger shot


Guess what's inside?

Ta da....


Mochi!!!!! I love eating mochi!

and Canadian beef


The shrimps were fresh to the taste. Well worth the money!


Fish noodle paste...you tear off the tip and squeeze it into the hotpot. A little tricky to use and it doesn't really stay in shape of a noodle. I wish they could come up with something better next time.




I had the Satay soup base. It was full of flavor! I loved it!


Fin.

I would totally go back and have the hotpot again because it really is 5 stars quality but offered in 2 stars price. That's why I love eating at Café de Coral.

真的是5星級的享受 2星級的價錢!

Jill Stuart Fall 2011 Collection (Limited Edition)

                                               Prism Carat Eyes #101 "Brilliant Crown"
↑  When swatched separately...
The base is so creamy...almost feels like mousse. The glitter shines like a diamond but it does not feel grainy on my skin.
                                      
                                           ↑ When swatched on top of the cream base...
This is what it looks like when used together (base + glitter). The jewel shine effect intensifies making it look like metallic.


I have to say that I don't like this product (sorry Jill Stuart fans!). The cream base is an absolute fail. It creases within 2-3 hours of wear. The glitters are a pain to remove and I find them (not a whole lot but even 1 or 2 would be too many) run into my eyes which is a huge turn off because I don't want them to scratch my corneas!!!  @_@

 
Mix Blush Compact #105 "Sweet Lock"

 The imprinted "Jill Stuart" signature disappears within a few swipes.


Pigmentation: Medium - Low
Color: Soft Rosey Pink
Finish: Lots of Shimmers & Glitters
Scent: Typical Jill Stuart Rose Scent


and...

 Blush Blossom #102 "Classic Camellia"

Pigmentation: Medium - High
Color: Coral/Pink
Finish: Satiny & Shimmery with fine glitters
Scent: Typical Jill Stuart Rose scent

This has to be my favorite from the collection. The color is very well suited for my skin tone. Pigmentation is great. Very easy to work with. I like how you can use the lighter color for highlight on the cheeks (also works great on nose and forehead) to create a 3-D effect.
