Valentine's Date @ Flamenco Plaza Damansara

Since Valentine's Day fell on the same day as 1st day of Chinese New Year, we celebrated ours on the 17th Feb! Not to say really celebrate la, just going to some posh place having good food, but of course, the one who accompanies you is all that matters :)

That day we had the whole restaurant to ourselves & the owner herself serving us!

All her staff is on hols.

Really nice ambience & the food is goooood!

Notice the wine cellar room on the left?

Wish I have one in my house, although I don't drink any wines... it looks posh-y & sophisticated :D

Cupcakes for V-day!

Im usually not that cheesy, hardworking & I have never baked cupcakes before in my life!

But oh well, decided to do something special since it's our 1st Valentine together.

It's super easy, you can take short cuts like me, like getting a prepared cake mix & voila! guarantee edible hehe.

Prepare everything the box tells you to & do accordingly. Won't go wrong if you follow the instruction. (the cream chesse suppose to be for the frosting...opsss)

End result for the cake mix. Looks soooo chocolatey... me love!

Prepare the frosting. Ok the box doesn't teach you on how to do the frosting, so here's the recipe

1 block of cream cheese

1 1/2 cups icing sugar (I used 2 cups, turned out too sweet, make it lesser if you're health concious)

2/3 from a block of butter

2 tsp of vanilla extract

1 drop of red food coloring (for my pink coloured cupcakes)

1. Blend butter & cream cheese with mixer.

2. Slowly add in icing sugar.

3. Add in vanilla extract & food colouring if preffered.

End result should be like this. Smooth & creamy. You can just dip the top of your cupcake & twirl it. You can also pipe the frosting to create nice decor

Garnishing my cupcakes with strawberries, white choco chips & silver sugar balls

Final result!! Ta da!! Guess the message, haha!

The extras for the family & my neighbour. I told them it's me wishing them Happy Valentine with these but they knew these are the extras & I need people to finish it up, but hey! it tasted good ok ^.^

Go & try!

Daiso haul!

If you have been following me on Twitter, you should that I'm madly obsessed with Daiso.

I felt happy just being there, looking at stuff over & over.

The ordeal would lasted AT LEAST one hour.

Probably because its a Japanese store (me love!), everything RM5 & alot kawaii, useful stuff.

If I mention to my boyfriend that I wanted to go to Daiso (he's my driver ^.^), my boyfriend will always give me that 'what?? again?? what you wanna buy wor??' look.

Frankly, I usually doesn't have a thing in mind on what I wanna get in Daiso but I always end up with something :P

Here's my latest haul!

Cushions & lavender sachet (for my car), flower puncher (to do my artsy-fartsy stuff), black eyelash glue (beauty stuff - for my false lashes, although I rarely use them, but hey! it's only RM5! Use black ones so it doesn't show), pie baking pan (I'm infected with a baking bug), pet toy (Micki's)

I'm itching to go again already!
