Daily: McDonald's Blogger Appreciation Night @ McDonald's Mutiara Damansara

A McDonald's review is a dream come true for anyone, including myself. I was ecstatic when I heard news that they were organising a bloggers' appreciation session @ McDonald's Mutiara Damansara. 

McDonald’s is one of the most iconic brands in the world with over 36,000 locations serving approximately 69 million customers in over 100 countries each day. In Malaysia, McDonald’s opened its door in 1982 and instantly became a local favourite. With over 30 years presence in Malaysia, McDonald’s continuously strive to introduce new concepts to captivate Malaysians via its restaurants nationwide.

McDonald's has changed the standards of fast food all over the world, making it more affordable with value meals for lunch and dinner. Now everyone can afford to have McDonald's at any time of the day, whenever the craving strikes.

The three main focus of the night are the three hot selling burgers; McChicken, Spicy Chicken McDeluxe and GCB!

The beautiful emcee of the night, Azura which kept the spirits high and everyone excited throughout the night!

The Managing Director, McDonald’s Malaysia Azmir Jaafar, giving his speech and some witty comments about the brand. We were enlightened on how the ingredients in the burgers are carefully prepared in the most hygienically possible way as well as the high product quality maintained throughout the years.

Models and the VIPs posing with the three 'stars' of the night!

‘Yang Klasik’!

One of the earliest burgers to be introduced, Malaysia’s bestselling burger McChicken is known as the classic because it represents the brand. The famous burger is best known for its chicken patty, shredded lettuce, toasted bun and mayonnaise.

 ‘Yang Hangat’!

McDonald’s has another popular burger that is known as the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe which is a fan favorite. Everyone’s favourite fiery chicken burger is made out of 100% chicken breast meat, shredded lettuce and toasted bun that is deliciously mouthwatering and irresistible.

‘Yang Gempak!’

Remember the Grilled Chicken Burger? Which is also known as (GCB)? Well fans of the famous seasonal burger will be excited to know that McDonald’s Grilled Chicken Burger has been made permanent on the menu for a while now because of its popularity. For someone who prefers a more unique burger from McDonald’s, the GCB would be it because it is made of whole tender chicken that is grilled to perfection, paired with char-grilled sauce and lettuce sandwiched in between two golden, warm and freshly toasted sesame seeds buns.

My personal favourite would always be the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe as I absolutely enjoy the tender chicken breast meat which has a spicy 'kick' to it! It always brightens up my day when I'm feeling down. What's your favourite McDonald's burger?

Daily: Survive the Public Toilets with Kleenex

I always refrain from using public toilets because even the image of dirty toilets is enough to make me feel sick inside. I know its not good to hold it in but it has always been a hassle for me when I'm out as I absolutely hate using public toilets. 

Coffee shop toilets are the worst that I've ever encountered. They are usually smelly and wet, so you wouldn't be able to eat after a visit to the toilets definitely. Hygiene is important to me and I always bring along sanitizers or tissues to help me with this problem. But, recently I heard about Kleenex Wet Toilet Tissue which could be useful for me.

The Kleenex team were so cute, they sent me a box filled with quirky stuffs for me to 'save' myself from the nasty public toilets.

Have a peek on what's inside!

ITEM 1: MASK

ITEM 2: WHISTLE

ITEM 3: PLASTER

ITEM 4: KLEENEX WET TOILET TISSUES

These tissues are so user friendly, you can just wipe and flush. Basically it's available in compact packets where you can just use to wipe the disgusting toilet seats and voila, once you're done, just throw them down the toilet, just like a normal tissue!

This concept had been launched in South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan and even our neighbouring country, Singapore. It is a safe to flush and hypoallergenic tissue as they are formulated from 9 step purified water to assure that they are clean and gentle. 

This is definitely a convenient method for me, especially when I'm out the whole day and I have no choice but to use the dirty toilets. 

Kleenex Wet Tissue are available in three sizes - a pack of 10 sheets (RM 2.10), a value saving pack of three (RM 5.80) and a 40 sheet pack (RM 7.40). Check out your nearest supermarket today!

Food: 5.1 Cafe Gallery @ Sri Petaling, Kuala Lumpur

Sri Petaling is my ultimate hang out place because its near to my university but honestly, I haven't tried out 5.1 Cafe Gallery before. It wasn't one of those cafes you would actually just walk in to. It was upstairs and when I was invited for a review here, I thought why not try it out since its nearby anyway. Well, this little homey, humble cafe definitely surpassed my expectation. Read on to find out why. :)

 The cafe decorations had a distinct, rustic feel to it. A lot of thoughts has gone into how to beautify the cafe and indeed, it was very pretty.

Some toy buses I saw on the shelves.

5.1 Tortilla Pizza (RM 12.90)

Loaded with tons of cheese, this one is perfect for cheese lovers like myself. This pizza is a unique combination of mushrooms, tomatoes, tomato sauce and smoky bacon. 

What i enjoyed most, was the thin and crispy tortilla crust which complimented the toppings well. 

Sensational Bite (RM 12.90)

For a complete breakfast as fuel for the rest of the day, you can try out this sandwich which comes with cheese. chicken ham, crab roll, lettuce with some premium sausages too. 

This one is not to be missed because its healthy and wholesome at the same time.

Tortilla Chicken (RM 15.90)

Here we have a serving of a deep fried, deboned chicken thigh which was marinated and coated in flour before being wrapped in a tortilla. 

The black pepper sauce which was served together added flavour to the chicken which was fried to golden brown.

Our Cereal (RM 12.90)

Cornflakes pizza doesn't seem mainstream at all, in fact, I was extremely skeptical about this. 

It was a dessert with tortilla and toppings of cornflakes, chocolate chips, raspberry jam and some vanilla ice cream. Now, you judge.

Crispy Crunch Banana (RM 12.90)

Lots of chocolate goodness in this with tortilla topped with banana slices, vanilla ice cream and strawberries. 

Matcha Latte (RM 10.90)

Daily: Hassle-free Salon Online Booking with Bfab

I'm not a fan of beauty salons and spas, but occasionally I do indulge in some of these. But, these services are always so costly and pricey that it can be afforded by only those who earn the big bucks. Recently, I came across a hassle-free online booking website, BFab - salon online booking  for anyone who prefers to check out the latest salons around your area without having to drive there personally. The system is FREE OF CHARGE and that's what I find amazing about it. The bookings can be done anywhere, anytime as well.

I came across a few great deals while I was going through the site! I managed to compare the prices of different vendors and then select the best deals available.

Check out the section under 'Recommended for You'. You may find some deals which will interest you!

I'm thinking of trying out the massage available at this place, it is pretty affordable and the environment looks great. I could use a massage for my extremely tight and sore muscles.
