A Berry Love Affair

Advertorial

Valentine's Day is coming up, and romance is in the air!! What's nicer than to take a long walk with your lover, sharing a chilled drink in the sunshine?

And that drink should be...



Magnolia Yoghurt Smoothie
Mixed Berries with Strawberry bits!!


A very long name for a lot of yums!



Magnolia's Yoghurt Smoothie series also has flavours in Strawberry (with Nata De coco), and Mango (with orange sacs), but the star today is the Mixed Berries!



And here is WHY!


COZ IT'S CONTEST TIME!!!


It's the "My Berry Special Moment" photo contest!!

Taking part is really simple.

All you have to do is to take a photo with your loved one(s) sharing a special moment - and send it in!!

Doesn't necessarily have to be with your lover either. It could be with friends or family too!!

Bonus berry points will be given to people who *ahem* pose with a Magnolia Yoghurt Smoothie Mixed Berries drink... So unless you are a complete idiot you should know what to do lah.


"How should I pose with you?"


Prizes are awfully attractive.

In fact, I think I stand a pretty good chance of winning and I am half undecided on whether I should write this advert. I mean the less of you participating the more chances I have of winning right? But sigh... See, I'm so nice!!

Winner and a partner gets to win a 3D2N stay at Fraser Resorts in Pattaya, with spa treatment for 2!!


Awesome!

And if you are not the winner, there are still 5 consolation prizes of Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s in PINK!!! That's a Polaroid camera by the way. IN PINK! Comes with a pack of film!! I WANT I WANT!!!


So I roped Mike in and snapped some pictures!!!


Here's 3, help me chose which one is the nicest!!!





LOL I guess the last one is the nicest.

Well enough of the posing (we weren't actually drinking in the photos hahaha), it's time for the taste test!!





Pouring the smoothie... For those of you who have not tried yoghurt drinks before because you don't like yoghurt that much (I don't), you have to try yoghurt drinks NOW!!

Coz the taste of it is very different from real yoghurt!! Much less sour, less thick, and so nice chilled. :D

I mean it is obviously still a YOGHURT drink so obviously it still does taste a bit like yoghurt lah.



Comes with real chunky strawberry bits inside. Oh love!!!


Why choose a yoghurt drink?

For one it has BioLive Cultures in it, whatever that means. Well it does give you a healthier digestive system!

For a drink that tasty, it is shockingly enough FAT-FREE! That's right, 0% fats!

And everyone knows yoghurt contains calcium for strong bones and teeth. :)



Now how nice is that?

Magnolia Yoghurt Smoothie Mixed Berries with Strawberry Bits is available at all supermarkets, 7 Eleven etc, so go get your own to try today, and remember to snap pictures to join the contest!!

You could be the lucky winner of a FREE HOLIDAY!!!

Fruity Fruity Lite!

Advertorial

Don't know about you guys, but I always have this problem at home. Whenever I eat meals at home, which is pretty often, I always feel like I want to have a drink to go with it.

Not plain water coz it's not as nice, but packet/can drinks always runs out so fast (not to mention damn heavy to lug home from stores), and they are real unhealthy!!

Since my meals are already usually healthy, I'm always on the lookout for a drink that is LIGHT, REFRESHING, and even better if it has health benefits too!

It really irks me sour drinks sold are mostly very strong tasting, like iced lemon tea (too sweet usually) or lime juice (too sour, not light enough).

AND I WAS SPONSORED FRUITY LITE!!! (link)

Since it's already a best seller in Watsons, I think some of you might have heard about it before.



Fruity Lite is a healthy, refreshing plum-like all natural digestive drink specially manufactured through advanced scientific methods from high grade hawthorn fruit.


Here's how it looks like


Never heard of it? Neither have I.

But this magical fruit can help digestion, reduce lipid levels in the body, reduce bad breath and improve blood circulation! It also exhibits potent antioxidant properties.




The box is resealable, and...



Comes in 12 light satchels for easy mixing!! Yums!!



Like this!

I really love this drink because it tastes awesome and is so easy to make!

Its flavour is kinda like plum but it is very mild and only very slightly sweet.

Really thirst-quenching too.

The best time to drink it is after an oily, heavy meal, because it really helps cleanse your palette and dispel the oily feeling! After drinking it I realised it makes me feel a lot less bloated.

Plus, it leaves your breath smelling nice!! :D Don't ask me how the hawthorn fruit does it, I don't know. Maybe it's just magical.


As for easy to make, here's how to do it:




Tear open satchel



And you'd find the dry mix inside. Ugly but it's good stuff!



Pour into glass



Add water! Warm, cold, room temperature. Up to you! (I'm using cold)



Done!



OMG it dissolves!



Stir till happy



Check it



Add some ice



And there you have it, yum yum yum!!



Drink it



Drink it some more



Finish it!

A great healthy alternative to soft drinks! Fruity Lite even helps relieve constipation!!!



CHINESE NEW YEAR IS COMING!!!



Treat your guests to Fruity Lite...

It's only $6.90 per box, and best of all...


When you buy a big box you
get a small box totally free!!



Awesome.

Get your Fruity Lite today at any Watsons and other supermarkets... It's so cheap, really a must-try!

Everybody loves Egg Tarts!

Advertorial

Went to KFC that day... This is the story of what happened:
























































Hungry yet??

Yes, KFC NOW OFFERS EGG TARTS!!!

It's gonna be a long-term item in their menu and these Portuguese egg tarts with a famous recipe is baked FRESH inhouse so that you can savour the tarts' goodness all piping hot and melty!

It is surprising how well the reception went... Everyone who tasted it that day totally fell in love with it! Afterall, what's there not to like?

The puff pastry is savoury, crispy and buttery, and the egg custard is exactly how it looks like - melt in your mouth, spreads like cream on your tongue and not too sweet!


And on top of it, golden caramelised sugar which is slightly crunchy, just like creme brulee!!!!!! It's Chinese Creme Brulee made affordable in a puff pastry!! :D :D :D

Seriously, who would expect KFC, a fried chicken restaurant to do such fantastic egg tarts too?


And only at $1.30 for one,
$7.50 for a box of six!!


It is a MUST TRY!!!

The box is specially designed with a heart coz this year's CNY coincides with Valentine's day. Great and easy for bringing to 'bai nian'!!

These delicious egg tarts are available all day at selected KFC restaurants. So you can have it as breakfast, dessert or as a snack! Visit www.kfc.com.sg for full listing. I had my first taste of KFC Egg Tart at HarbourFront!

p/s: I ate 3 tarts on top of the chicken and fries KFC provided... Almost burst!
