Are Angels Aliens or Vice Versa?

Guest post by Dina Rae, author of Halo of Nephilim

We’ve all heard about UFO sightings, alien abductions, burnt crop fields, and cattle mutilations. Roswell, New Mexico and Area 54 are the meccas of American X-files. Bright discs are seen everywhere around the world. What does the Bible have to say about extra-terrestrials? Were things so different three thousand years ago? Or are we just using a different vernacular?

Anyone who has ever picked up the Bible knows the story of Noah and the ark. God chose him and his family because they were ‘pure’ (Genesis). The question is pure heart or pure bloodline? Angels mated with women back in those days, producing a half breed called nephilim. These beings were described as giants with superhuman powers. Could the nephilim be an old version of modern day aliens of a mixed race?

Angels and aliens are always described as glowing with light. Ezekiel, an Old Testament prophet, vividly describes a spaceship in his book. Enoch’s writings about angels were controversial enough to be edited out of the Bible. More of his writings were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. He regularly communicated with angels and ascended up to Heaven to speak with God on behalf of their shortcomings. Possible abduction?

Book review:

Halo of Nephilim is a very engaging biblical fiction, if I may call it that. Filled with fantasy and vivid imagination, the author will whisk you away into a world that you can never imagine. It’s been awhile since I’ve read such a riveting story and I couldn’t help but feel drawn to the characters in the story. Very well written and it’s definitely a keeper. Very fast-paced and will keep you flipping the pages. I find the book very difficult to put down and read it twice in one sitting.

Highly recommended for those who loves a good fantasy read or for those who are looking for a short escapism. I easily rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

Book description:

Can a fallen angel, his band of broken souls, and his nephilim children change the world? Armaros the Cursed, Satan’s favorite of the Fallen, falls once again after breaking the rules. Fearing an eternity of punishment, he desperately attempts to save himself by sending a bird to his island. The SOS message is received by his beloved congregation. They prepare the great Armaros’ kingdom for his return. Can his loyal worshipers rescue him from the pit?

Halo of the Nephilim is the sequel to Halo of the Damned. The story begins with Armaros’ arrest. Reporters are duped into believing he was gunned down while awaiting trial. Declared dead, his only known surviving daughter, Joanna Easterhouse, proves her relation and inherits everything. She catapults her career from an entry-level advertising assistant to the head of Armaros’ advertising empire. Life couldn’t be better: a windfall inheritance, real power within a major industry, a loving relationship with a former demon, and a baby on the way. She should be on top of the world, but knows everything good must come to an end.

Joanna’s sister, Kim Easterhouse, becomes Kim Slattery after marrying Sean, her dead mother’s probate lawyer. Joanna generously includes them as key players in her advertising chain. They, too, have much to smile about, but a string of events leads them back to old family secrets. Wickedness looms over the Easterhouse family once more, forcing them into an unlikely showdown filled with page-turning excitement. Like Halo of the Damned, Halo of the Nephilim is filled with conspiracy and angel lore taken directly from scripture and other ancient writings. Nephilim meander the earth in confusion, constantly questioning who they are and where they stand in terms of good and evil. More mind control themes top off this tale of doom.

My Rejuvenating Journey with Aura Hot

A friend of mine, whom I have not seen in about a year commented that I look more ‘mature’ in comparison to the last time she saw me. She must be putting it mildly, considering that another friend, who is much more honest with me told me that I practically look like something that came out from a Zombie Apocalypse film. I guess the stress must be really getting to me and if I don’t start taking good care of myself, I’m not only going to age prematurely, but I’m gonna fall sick easily too. Can’t have that now can I? No. Definitely not.

Call me vain all you want, but I need to start doing something about it. I’m no big fan of eating healthy and I’m definitely not a diet freak, but if that is going to allow me to age gracefully without having me to go under the knife, then so be it

Since having heard the honest but rather unpleasant comments from my friends, I’ve decided to change my lifestyle a little bit and have been trying to lead a healthier life by taking good care of my diet, exercising and meditating. But apparently, it is still not enough. While I feel slightly better inside, I knew that I cannot build up my stamina without help…specifically speaking, without the help of supplements that will give me health benefits.

Now, I’m quite a big baby. I hate popping up pills. They are just so yucky and bitter to swallow. But lucky me, a friend whom I recently got to know online introduced me to Aura Hot, a health supplement with collagen designed especially for women.

Hmm… there are so many collagen supplement in the market. How can I be sure that this one is trustworthy and won’t be harmful for the body? Well, first of all, it’s because it’s completely made from natural ingredients and rich with antioxidants.

 

Take a look at the picture above. It’s rich with various fruit extracts and ingredients that is well known for their antioxidants properties.

Now, ladies, here’s a rundown on what Aura Hot Bio-Stem Cell Plus Collagen can help you with:

Reviving aging skin structure.
Reduce melanin, dark spots and pigmentation problems.
Establish a layer of skin that prevents UV rays from entering the inner layer of skin.
Dismantling of melanin, brighten and moisturize the skin.
Strengthen and improve the functions of vital organs.
 Increase the level of skin moisture and reduce wrinkle formation.
 Increase skin elasticity and reduce skin estrangement.
Correct the levels of female hormones and reducing hormone imbalance problems.
Enhance the skin’s regeneration, reducing wrinkles and scars.
 Reduce discomfort caused by menstrual and menopause.
 Relieve aches and joint pain to help increase agility.
Controlling obesity caused by an imbalance of the endocrine level.
Reviving dead cells and slowing the aging process.
 Reduce dark circles around the eye and improve sleep quality.
Helps to enhance sagging breasts, making it more robust and fleshy.
Helps to increase your stamina.
Increase your libido and increase your sexual performance.

Sounds pretty good, no? It is said that if you take it for 1 month consecutively, you can see the difference.To me… the collagen in question does sounds promising, but I can’t really comment much yet cuz I haven’t tried it yet. I’ll let you know once the parcel arrived and I’ve finished up the whole box, so wait for my testimonial review, ya?

In the meantime, should you be interested to know more about Aura Hot, hope over to their Facebook Page HERE, and I heard that they need stockists and distributors too, so if you’re looking for a business opportunity, go ahead and check them out. Who knows you can work out something and generate income from it? We’ll never know right? Just give it a shot if you feel like it.

 

Cleffairy: Mr. Posman oh Mr. Posman, where are you? Where is my parcel?

Dining with Obama in Smashies

Anyone here is a big fan of burger? Not sure if you are, but I’m pretty much a big fan. Apart from sandwiches, burger is my favourite, especially when I’m rushing for dateline. They are fast, easy to eat and hassle free. Whenever I’m rushing for a dateline, I would simply take away some of our local Ramly burger by roadside. Cheap and easy.

I have recently discovered that apart from the fast food joints and roadside, I can also get my burger from the mushrooming fancy burger restaurants. There’s one nearby home in Setapak that I usually pass by and have yet to find time to try. So when a bunch of us bloggers were invited to the launching of their restaurant and new menu, I got all excited.

The interior of the restaurant is pretty unique and fancy. It is not too big, but can cater to a moderate crowd. I won’t exactly recommend you to dine during the peak hour, but do go ahead and drop by during the less busy time. You’d not only feel comfortable with the environment then, but also the service would probably be efficient too.

A lil bit of history crash course on how  Smashies were founded, for those who are wondering.

Neway, as I said, a bunch of us bloggers were invited for the launching of Smashies restaurant and their new menu so here’s the group photo of the happy faces who were the early birds during the event.

Spotted some men in black outside, and I instantly wondered who was in the car! OMG…I wonder if it’s James Bond? Or Bruce Wayne? Hmmm…must be someone important.

And surprise, surprise… the VVIP who came for the launching.Mr. Barack Obama himself, the President of The United States of America. For a moment, I was taken aback, but it was just a gig, of course. The real Mr. President was probably busy jet- setting in his Air Force One or burning the midnight oil in his Oval Office in White House or something.

The president’s lookalike, giving his presidential approval for Smashies burgers

Taking the presidential oath to be a faithful Smashies fan.

Erm…poor Mr. President. Now that he has taken the oath and swears it on the Holy burger and becomes the Smashies VIP, he can’t go around and having Big Mac in McD anymore. Oh we’ll, hopefully his kids will not ask for any Happy Meals, or the poor guy would be in BIG TROUBLE.

Debuting at the media launch was ‘I am Single’, ‘Happy Cow’ and ‘Shroom Bomb’ but  invited media were generously allowed to make our own order, I was really surprised cuz I thought they are letting us try their new burgers, but who is complaining? I’m certainly not complaining, not when I get to choose any burgers that I want from the menu.

The burger buns that are used in Smashies are uniquely coloured and flavoured, but don’t worry about artificial flavourings cuz the it’s all made from natural ingredients.

All of us bloggers ordered different kinds of burgers so that we could sample bit of everything, and here is what I tried.Twilight Bella…definitely not for those who hates Twilight Saga. LOL! For a moment, I wondered if there will be any Twilight Jacob or Twilight Edward. But unfortunately for me, there’s no yummy werewolf or sexy vamp on the menu. Tsk. Too bad.

Lord of The Mess. Not recommended for the neat freaks. The burger can be rather tricky to eat.

Fries

Portobello fries, and all these cholesterol were washed down with Coke. Yea, I know…not healthy, but heck… girl just wanna have fun.

 

Wanna know more about Smashies? Or wanna meet Mr. Obama in person? Well, ketchup…I mean, catch up with them on their FB page HERE

Smashies Burger

Lot 126-G-5, Metro Genting,

Cleffairy: Looking at the menu makes me wanna watch movies. The burgers are named after famous blockbuster movies.

My Very Own Hot Desk at The Nomad Office@Mont Kiara!

Have you ever wondered how your life would be like as an adult when you’re just a child? Well, when I was just a little girl, I’ve always imagined that I’ll grow up to be a journalist. Having heavily influenced and inspired by the famous Lois and Clark The New Adventures of Superman (very famous in the 90s) and Smallville series, I’ve always imagined that I will end up working in an office that is very much like Daily Planet,with a Superman of my own to help me out when I get into trouble with my boss.

My dream office…Daily Planet Newsroom.

But by the twist of fate, I did not end up working in an office like Daily Planet though I did in end up in journalism line for a while. Who would have guessed that I’ll end up being a novelist, freelance writer, a blogger and a work from home mother instead of a top-notch journo who spend her days buzzing around getting news and quotes like Lois Lane did in the Superman series? Nobody would have guessed.

My typical day usually consists of waking up, make breakfast for the kid, send the kid to school and while he’s at school, work on my writing projects while nibbling on snacks, pick him up from school, rush home to cook dinner if I decided not to eat out, make the boy do his homework, kick him to bed, get some minor housework chores done, turn on the laptop, start writing for my blog, finish up all of the remaining work for the day, get some chapters done for my novels and do some reading before finally going to bed and start the whole routine all over the next day without help whatsoever from anyone else. (Geez, some women are so lucky to have hired help or maid to help them out. I’d kill for some help in housekeeping department!)

I am not complaining though…not really, considering that I have flexible working hour and I get to be my own boss. I get to go where I like and do as I please. The only thing I need to do is just hit the dateline given to me. But as flexible as it is, I definitely could use some Superman of my own to help me out with my workload, public relations and not to mention a proper workstation to not only write in seclusion when the house is too noisy for inspiration, but also to conduct creative writing seminars and meet-up with my publishers and editors.

You see, I’m rather eccentric. My house is always in a constant mess, and getting organized is beyond me. The place is never fit to receive guests, I kid you not! So to have meeting with my potential clients and publishers at home is a no-no. I would love to get myself a proper office or a workstation, but then again, my savings account does not exactly stretch a mile. I can’t really afford an office of my own, what more fully equip it with hi-tech facilities of fill it up staff who would do all the menial work for me.

Lucky for me though, these days there’s plenty of companies providing virtual office around. I’ve surveyed a few and discovered that Nomad Office offers quite a competitive package to cater my virtual office needs. I was particularly eye-ing on their latest, the one that’s strategically located in Solaris Mont Kiara and so when I was invited to check out their facilities, I practically jumped at the opportunity. I was thinking, here’s my chance to get a proper office and workstation without having to apply loans and whatnot from the bank just to fund my needs for office.

I was informed that The Nomad Office catered a serviced office, which is the best solution for modern businesses, considering that the office is fully furnished with workstations (desks), phone line and Internet connection, completed with a full range of amenities, services and on-site support. Apart from that, you’ll also be supported by a dedicated team of receptionists, on-site IT support, housekeeping and maintenance. Housekeeping! Now that’s something I really can get used to!

Locker to keep your stuff

The best part of all, The Nomad Offices @Mont Kiara sports a hip and modern interior design, something that I could easily get comfortable with.The Nomad Offices @ Mont Kiara also has lockers and a chill out area with docking stations for tablets and mobile phones.

Definitely great for gadget addict like me who can never part with her gadgets. All this comes with dedicated secretarial and IT support, as well as regular technology upgrades.

My colleague, photocopying something while posing like a model.

Neway, I’ve been given a chance to try out of their service known as ‘The Hot Desk’. Hmm… does that mean I get to be as hot as Lois Lane? Hehehe… I certainly hope so!  

Take a look…and eat your heart out! MY OFFICE at The Nomad Office. Laptop is not included in the Hot Desk, however. The sweet pink Sony VAIO is mine.

Yups, that’s me, at my Hot Desk for a day.

Awesome, huh? I  get to use the phone, which by the way, can be used to call the receptionist should I need any assistance. Blogging this live, I can say that the Internet speed is quite reliable, which is very important if you want to subscribe to any serviced office. There is no point subscribing to an office that has no reliable Internet, right? To me the Internet is the most important thing as that’s where my work actually is.

Pretty cool huh? Here’s a basic rundown of what they had to offer.

Serviced Office suites

Fully-furnished and well-appointed private office suites with dedicated administrative and IT support for your business.

 

 

 Virtual Office

Prestigious business addresses, professional receptionists and available business centres for non-traditional entrepreneurs. Hmm… non-traditional. Now that’s what described me best. And prestigious address would mean that I get to redirect all my mails in the office instead of at home. that would be awesome as I yet to solve the mystery of missing letters, documents and even parcel in the place that I sadly call home!

Conference and Meeting Rooms

Flexible meeting room configurations with audio-visual equipment, Wi-Fi, and complimentary bottled water, flipchart, stationery and mints. Yups, something that I could really use too, considering that there is demands for my creative writing seminars and classes.

Shared Office

Affordable office space with phone, Broadband Internet and networking opportunities.

Hot Desk

Temporary work space as and when required, with full access to office facilities and support.

Video Conference

State-of-the-art video conferencing equipment for rent by the hour at any time of the day.

Business Lounge

Semi-formal chill out area with complimentary Wi-Fi, reading materials, coffee and tea. Definitely great after a long day at work or an intense discussion with clients.

You and your clients can chill out here at the business lounge.

All work and no play makes me a dull person… so I do appreciate the play-station. Ahemm…okay…I admit, I’m impressed with this. I’m all for play while working.

The pantry…fridge, microwave…in case you got hungry.

And there’s even an Espresso machine.

My colleague of the day…chilling out after work.

I may not be a Superwoman or a Supermum,  and the Nomad is nothing like my childhood dream office, the Daily Planet, but The Nomad Office could help me be SUPER by making me look good and provide me a conductive working environment. The Nomad Office is the choice of office that will suit my career. And I’m sure it will be yours too if you’re an aspiring entrepreneur or a freelancer.

Going fashionably traditional

Have you read my earlier post on a ballet performance that I posted up a couple of days ago? Well, being a person who is in creative line, I adore fine arts and things that’s related to it. So, to say that I am really looking forward to the upcoming ballet performance this Saturday is an understatement.

Unfortunately for me, being a person who is in creative line also means that I am quite eccentric in nature. I am not really like your regular fashionistas who have tonnes of clothes or a walk-in wardrobe. The collection in my wardrobe is rather…ahemm…vintage and limited.

Right at the moment, I’m having a tad of a headache cuz the upcoming ballet performance is quite formal in nature and I’m supposed to dress up a little bit for the event. There is no suitable outfit for me to wear for this performance! No little black dress, no high heels and no suitable clutch or high heels to go with them. *SIGH* I am always busy rushing for dateline and stuff and hardly have any time to go for shopping.

But lucky for me, a girlfriend of mine informed me that I don’t actually get out of the house to get my outfit shopping done. There’s always Zalora Malaysia a wonderful online shopping boutique where I can shop for dresses, shoes and many more. There is a huge collection of fashion items from international and local brands, and FREE shipping is available on selected amounts. And the best part? There is also a 30 days return policy. Awesome isn’t it?

I have a few items that I’ eyeing on right at the moment. I think it would be great for me to wear them during the ballet performance.

Yes… I love to go traditional and this Saree looks so amazing, don’t you think? It’s simply exquisite and charming.

This party slip on will complement the Saree just fine

 

And the Saree would definitely goes well this clutch too.

And no harm to complete the look with these darlings.

They’re lovely, don’t you think? Do let me know what you think of these lovelies…would they be suitable for me to wear to the performance?

Cleffairy: I can’t wait for the ballet performance this Saturday! I’m so excited!

Celebrate Ramadan and Togetherness at OldTown with MyDulang

OldTown is not always my favourite hang-out place as the one near my home is always full-house and I can’t always get a seat whenever I want to hang out there. The Platinum Walk branch service is not very satisfactory too, apart from the fact that their seats and air-con are not properly maintained. The WIFI speed in Platinum Walk is also at snail pace, so the place is not an idea place for me to hang out cuz I usually like to go online with my gadgets while having my meals there. As they say, one bad apple will spoil the whole bunch, and because I usually have bad experience with the branch near home, I usually avoided going to other OldTown Kopitiam franchises.

But I changed my mind immediately when I stepped into Paradigm Mall branch. I thought perhaps I made an error in judgment. One OldTown was bad, but that does not mean that ALL of them are bad as the one in Paradigm Mall was definitely in a tip top condition, and the service is comparable with a hotel. The staffs are mostly locals, and are eager to please. I did not say this merely because I went there as an invited media, but I say this because I’ve observed how they serve other patrons who were there that day. I was really impressed with the speed of the OldTown staff’s service in Paradigm Mall. Food was served in a timely manner and no diners went annoyed while having their meals there.

Unlike the OldTown  that I am familiar with, this particular branch is surprisingly spacious. The lighting was not dull and shoddy either.

There are ample of comfortable sofas for you to lounge on too.

Apart from the fact that the OldTown in Paradigm Mall is VERY urban professional friendly; where the WIFI speed was excellent and they provided power point everywhere for your gadget’s usage, I was particularly impressed with this. A locker that you can use to charge various kinds of smart-phones. Pretty awesome for people like me who usually had her smart-phone battery drained but never bothered to buy a power bank for it. OldTown in Paradigm Mall is also different from OldTown that I’m familiar with in a sense that you do not need to write down your orders on an order sheets and call the waiter to get the order for you afterwards. In Paradigm Mall, things are done differently and you order from the cashier counter instead.

Anyway, I went there to review their latest Ramadan offering, known as MyDulang.They have two set of MyDulang on offerings this coming Ramadan. One is Family MyDulang while another one is individual MyDulang.

This is the family MyDulang offerings.

It consists of: a choice of rendang chicken or rendang beef, curry chicken with potato,chicken satay with satay sauce fried keropok lekor, cucumber strips, egg skin strips, cooked long beans, kangkung sambal hae bee, two portion of nasi kunyit and sambal sotong. And then there’s the dipping sauce, of course. The set also comes with lekor chilli sauce and sambal belacan.

Inclusive in the set is 4 Beverages: 2 Rose Nata Selasih. (There’s three in the pic cuz these was served to us bloggers who were early for the media preview that day)

2x OldTown White Coffee/ OldTown Teh Tarik.

Apart from that, there’s also 2 dessert treats: 2x OldTown Ice Kacang with Rose Syrup/ 2x OldTown Ice Kacang with Gula Melaka.

The indidual MyDulang offerings is much more modest. If you’re to order the individual MyDulang, you will have a choice of rendang chicken/ rendang beef, chicken satay with satay sauce, fried keropok lekor. some cucumber strips, egg skin strips, cooked long bean kangkung sambal hae bee and nasi kunyit. There is of course the dipping sauce for the keropok lekor and sambal belacan for you to go with your meal. You will also get 1 beverage of your choice: Rose Nata Selasih/ OldTown White Coffee/ OldTown Teh Tarik and one dessert of your choice: OldTown Ice Kacang with Rose Syrup/ Ice Kacang with Gula Melaka.

Again, I went there with my son, and although I have assured that my son and I will be fine with just one set as I’m pretty much a small-eater, the Old Town folks has generously offered my son a set of his own to sample while chiding me gently, saying that my boy is a growing boy and he’ll probably needs to eat more. Very sweet of them, isn’t it? Neway, these are what’s on our plates:

My son had the MyDulang with the rendang chicken option. The boy finished up everything besides the rice, the cucumber and the long beans.He’s not much a green eater, and the rice portion was too much for him, I suppose… he only managed to eat half of it, but polished off everything else. His favourite was the chicken satay and he loved it so much that he hijacked mine after he was done with his. Geezzz…somehow I was really glad that he had his own plate.

While my son had the MyDulang set with chicken rendang, I had the one with beef rendang. Now, having the dish served in dulang reminds me very much of my growing up kampung days where meals were served in dulangs during family gatherings or wedding feasts. You see, my grandparents lived in a Malay kampung and whenever they are invited for a wedding reception, the dishes will be served just like this. I enjoyed those dishes very much back then as a child, and it’s nice to see that OldTown came up with such a nostalgic theme for their Ramadan offering this year. We don’t get such treats these days. People pretty much go modern these days and buffet is much more preferable in weddings or family function.

Anyway, enough trip down the memory lane. Here’s my comment on the dishes that’s served to us that day: The rice was exceptionally fragrant and the hay bee kangkung complemented the kunyit rice very well. The cucumber was refreshingly crunchy, but I did not touch long beans cuz they usually make my tummy bloated. The beef rendang was sensational, and I definitely would not mind ordering an ala carte top up of the rendang. The beef was surprisingly tender and the rendang was wonderfully flavoursome. Thumbs up for the rendang. They’re positively addictive and I bet will go well with toasts and roti canais too.

The keropok lekor deserves a big mention too. They may look unappealing but don’t let the looks fool you. They’re absolutely divine and authentic. It may arrived at our table rather cold, but it was still wonderfully soft and crunchy. On top of that, it’s very fishy and tiny bones were absent! They’re just the way I like it and a taste of it makes me feel like running to the kitchen and ask the chef where he gets a supply of these keropok lekor! The keropok lekor dips was wonderfully spicy and sweet too, and I wonder if OldTown  will consider selling em in bottles? I certainly won’t mind buying them, that’s for sure!

These were our desserts

My son had the ais kacang with syrup

While I opt for the ais kacang with gula melaka topping and mistook it for being cendol when it arrives at the table. They’re really nice and refreshing, definitely repel the heat that came from eating the spicy stuff earlier on. My son loves this too, and again, he hijacked mine though he had his own ais kacang; the one with the syrup topping.

Overall, the dining experience in Old Town Kopitiam Paradigm Mall was wonderful and I love how nostalgic the MyDulang offering made me feel and at some point, it made me feel wistful cuz people no longer serves food in dulangs for sharing with family and friends. The MyDulang is great for sharing and definitely will bring the sense of togetherness this coming Ramadan. And apart from doing from fasting from sun up to sun down and doing good deeds, togetherness is just what Ramadan is about.

The Family MyDulang is priced at RM39.90

And RM16.90 for the Individual MyDulang set. MyDulang @ OldTown will be served from 11AM daily at all OldTown.

The Ramadan offerings will be available from 8th July onwards. So do give it a try yea?

Cleffairy: Ramadan is not just about fasting, but also about being a good individual in whole.

A Pleasurable Chocolaty Experience in Thirty8, Grand Hyatt

This is a yet another one of those backdated post. I’ve been really, really busy lately so I don’t really have time to do any proper write-up. You know how it’s like for you, don’t you ladies? Being a mother always means that you have to invest all your time on your spouse and kids rather than yourself, and by the time you really have time for ‘ME’ time, you battery is already depleted and no amount of ‘recharging’ will get you right back on track, unless you do the recharging AWAY from your spouse and kids. Oh! How I wish I can be like the Duracell bunny… can go on and on and on and not feel tired!

 Like I said, this post is kinda outdated a lil bit. See the picture?  A friend invited me and my son for a sinful afternoon tea in Thirty8, Grand Hyatt. The place has a really great view, on normal days, but the Petronas Twin Tower is shrouded in haze. Not a very pretty picture, isn’t it? Well, to me it’s not really pretty, but I’m sure if you’re to visit Thirty8 in Grand Hyatt right at the moment, the view would be magical, especially at night. I imagine that the night-view would be very romantic…romantic enough for you to plan a proposal to your intended.



Okay, okay… I know, I know. I’m straying. Let’s get back to business. I was there for a chocolate buffet. It was a hazy noon. I have no where else to go and my boy was practically restless at home due to the emergency holiday declared by Malaysian government. So what better way to spend such an afternoon in a chocolate buffet? Yups, you’re reading that right. Chocolate buffet! All you can eat chocolates.

Sinfully exquisite Valrhona chocolates to be exact. Valrhona is a French luxury chocolate manufacturer based in the small town of Tain-l’Hermitage in Hermitage, a wine-growing district near Lyon. Valrhona focuses mainly on high-grade luxury chocolate marketed for commercial use by chefs as well as for private consumption. See the picture up there?That’s unadulterated Valrhona chocolate right there. The dark is 100% cocoa. I wanted to try it out, but the pastry chef in charge told me that it would be very, very bitter, and I probably won’t like it, so I gave it a miss.

Will you just take a look at these…

They’re just lovely, don’t you think?

And divine.

Chocoholics would definitely approve these artfully created treats.

They’re sensational and I swear that one could have an orgasm from having these, and these alone.

I did not managed to have a slice of these, but it was definitely in my son’s good books. He was full of praises for it.

The Guanaja chocolate tarts were exquisite indulgence. I had a slice of these and thank God that there’s still room in my tummy for seconds.

Macarons lovers would approve these.

There’s plenty of macaroons for you to indulge in. The macaroons are made from white, dark and milk chocolates. I had one of these and they practically melt in my mouth.

Beautifully crafted cake with restaurant signature printed on it. Talk about taking art and printing to the next level! This was amazing.

And these are no less heavenly either.

Dark chocolates aplenty

Chocolate truffles

There’s chocolate dip section where you can select a variety of fruit to be dipped into Valrhona chocolate dips.

I’m a big fan of strawberries, be it fresh or cooked, so I had a few rounds of it. The sweet and sour strawberries complemented the chocolate pretty well, I must say.

 

White chocolate lollies

The rocky road is really fabulous, and not something you can compare with the ones you can get commercially.

The Caramelia chocolate soup topped with milk chocolate cigars are just sensational. I had two of these and they’re positively addictive. Definitely a stress-buster that will send you to heaven and back.

These was what on my plate…

And second plate…. Oh dear, the diet police will definitely be horrified if they’re to see me sinfully indulge like that!

Apart for the chocolate buffet, we were also offered the afternoon high-tea set that comes with the typical British high-tea offerings.

Macaroons and almond biscotti

Sweet cake pastry and flower pot.

The cake slices was of course present.

And what’s an English afternoon tea without delicious scones with jam and cream?

There was the usual sandwiches too.

Our afternoon tea set came with a pot of tea, Chamomile tea and Pu-Er tea. Actually you will only get a pot if you opt for the afternoon tea set with the chocolate buffet.  One post was complimentary, especially for us.

And here’s the man who was responsible for me moaning and groaning in pleasure that afternoon, Chef Brett Muller.

Method Blogger Tea Party

How do you usually spend your Saturdays and Sundays, folks? Well, I’m not sure how you spend your weekend, but I usually make a point to spend it with my family. Unfortunately for me, my husband is always busy these days, even on weekends, and so I thought, instead of rotting at home and feeling miserable on weekend because of lack of adult companionship, I’ll just go out and have some fun girlie time with my girlfriends instead

And that’s just what I did last Saturday. I was invited to a tea-party by Method and I went there to have a blast with my girlfriends and their kids. My boy was excited about it too!

 

The tea-party was held in Micasa Suite hotel…in a hotel suite, to be exact,  is also a party that’s hosted to introduce Method products. To be honest, I was quite aghast to see that it’s hosted in a suite. Why? Well… that’s because I am a claustrophobic, and I can’t really cope with being in a confined place with so many people in it. But thank God, I managed and did not throw up or something. Now, if that happened and I really did puke, that would give Method something to really clean on!

This is part of their presentation. LOL. A tad obscene…but I kinda get what they’re trying to get across. They’re trying to say that their products smell like heaven, and to a certain extend, I have to say that I agree with them. Some of their products do smell good.

One of my favourite product that day was this…

 

It was interesting to learn about how two innovative young men revolutionize the world of cleaning by creating this line of home cleaning products made of non-toxic and natural ingredients that cleans well.

 

And what’s an afternoon tea-party without games? There was a little treasure hunt where we’re supposed to hunt for method products in all the rooms in the suite. The lovely Charmaine here was one of the lucky winner.

And great food, of course…

And being bloggers…camwhoring is a must. See the goodie bag Charmaine is holding? I got that too. We were given some products to try out, and I’ll let you know what I think about them soon. Can’t wait for my review but wanna know more about their products? Well, just hop over to Method Malaysia’s Facebook Page as well as their online store at www.wmsmarketing.com

Summer is finally here. Well, sort of. That saying is true for the other part of the world, but in Malaysia we don’t have summer. It’s sunny all year round, and our health could easily deteriorate without proper protection from the sun.
