First Restaurant Review: Fru:yo

Frozen Yogurt was first introduced to me when I went to LA 3-4 years ago. When I first moved into my studio, there was a newly opened yogurt joint literally 10 steps across from my building so being the curious foodie that i am, i checked it out. I remember not really liking it because i got the wrong flavor. I mean, vanilla isn't what a normal person call "wrong" but it definitely didn't wow me. I thought it was basically for the health conscious people that craved ice cream but couldn't spare the extra calories. Until i was introduced to the original flavor. In my opinion, the best flavor for frozen yogurt is hands down, the original tart flavor. Everything else is just bleh to me. Whether it's chocolate, vanilla, peanut butter or cake batter, I'd rather give in to ice cream if i craved something that indulgent. However, coconut and green tea is a different story.

I've been wanting to go to this particular spot: Fru:yo for a while now but it's pretty much at the outskirts of Causeway Bay, borderline Tin Hau and I never would walk that far for anything. There isn't much around the area except for schools, the central library and a hotel. What i don't like about this place was that it's like Crumbs. I'm not exactly a fan of picking certain number of toppings. I like having all kinds of texture thrown in there, crunchy, chewy, soft etc. I settled with the "Fit" size with two toppings that cost $33. There was a lot of yogurt so she definitely did not skimp on that. Maybe a bit too much because I was sick of it half way through. It was a bit too creamy for my liking, kind of like yogurt flavored ice cream, if you know what I mean. but the sweetness was just right. It can be a little bit more tart because I prefer my froyo to be more sour.  I had two of my usual topping : mochi and almond slices. My usual definitely consists of more than that. The shop itself was really cute. Kudos to the wooden chairs and tables. Its pretty different from all the yogurt joints because most of them are in bright and loud colors like pink or green or both at the same time so having this neutral vibe was nice. I'd come here again.

My Dream Vacay

Ranked #16 - Bora Bora

I've got my fair share of white sand, blue water beach vacation in my life. Phuket, Bali, Okinawa, and Boracay were all breath-taking. But one of my ultimate dream destination is Bora Bora, French Polynesia. I've always wanted to experience living right above the water on a bungalow built on stilts. Dive and snorkel just a few steps away from my room, and do whatever the hell I want in those cottages because that's how private they are. A trip there is definitely not cheap, but heck is a girl allowed to dream big?

living rooms

i personally love looking at pictures of living rooms and bedrooms. always been fascinated about anything to do with home deco. a bedroom can tell you so much about a person. And also recently moved to a new apartment about a month ago so i've been spending a lot of time browsing for inspirations on how i can make my room more "me". it's tiny but i think i can work something with it.

Some pictures of rooms that im loving. i prefer subtle colors for my living space and having a statement piece to wrap it up like a huge colorful rug, some patterned cushions or bold printed curtains.

check out that bedside table

oh so adorable

i love the contract between the victorian wall and the bold colors

weezy F baby and the F ain't for fear

Coral

  I know, Fall is approaching and I find myself attracting to the wrong color in the wrong time of year. This "coral craze" all started with a nail color I came across in City super, which I happily purchased even though Spring was history. Fall is all about the dark and rich colors. Maroon, navy blue and royal green are among few of my favorites, not just for the fall season but for all year round. CORAL. such a cutesy color. wish my room was in this shade. it just brightens up everything

give any plain jane outfit a touch of sprin

cute and comfortable - toms are always my go-to pair of shoes

who knew that two shades of coral can compliment each other?
looks especially good aganist sun kissed skin

mmm bet these taste like grapefruit

definitely loving the printed cushions

coral + grey

wow. just.. wow.

Steve Jobs

"The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.” He knew exactly what people wanted and strive for it.

“Steve was among the greatest of American innovators -- brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.”

RIP STEVE JOBS.
