Cheese Guan Yin: My Favorite Cheese Tea

I’m not really a fan of plain tea itself but milk tea and tea concoctions... I love! Boba wintermelon milk tea is my ultimate favorite! I explore places for milk tea and I’m not stopping just yet. 😍

When I visited Singapore, I found out that the milk tea hype is still alive there. There were so many tea shops. Everywhere I looked, left and right, there was a shop at almost every corner! Woah~ this is my kind of place, man!

So for now, I’m gonna share with you one of my unique tea finds. Boyfie introduced me to Cheese Tea from LiHO. This was something new so I was quite intrigued by it.

The LiHo store in Suntec is an eye candy :D

Presenting Cheese Guan Yin...

Yummy Cheese Guan Yin topped with a heart.

The cheese topping is really cheese. It’s not like rock salt & cheese or cream cheese. It tastes like mild mozzarella. Yay! Melted cheese yummy goodness layered above this beauty...

The cheese topping! :D

For the tea in the drink, they used the Tie Guan Yin (Iron Buddha) tea. Mildly bitter, it has a distinct taste to it. But once it mixes with the cheese, it becomes one yummy concoction. A creamy and indulgent drink! 😋

A mixture of cheese and tea: Cheese Guan Yin

This is one great Cheese Tea! For a cheese lover like me, it has instantly become my favorite! Yummy! But now, I’m back here in my country and I’m missing cheese tea more than ever. Bring me back to SG! 😭

Godiva Dark Chocolate Ice Cream

I’m on a quest to taste the different chocolates of the world. One of the popular brands that I wanted to try is Godiva ice cream. It’s actually because of Instagram that I have grown a curiosity about it. There are many posts of beautiful and towering ice cream oozing with chocolate! 

However, Godiva chocolate is quite rare here in my country. I don’t think there’s a store here. So I waited a long time to try the ice cream. Awww... but those IG posts  looked so yummy. (^_^)

But the universe has given me the chance to try it! When I flew to SG to see a Boyzone concert, I made sure that a Godiva store was part of my itinerary. Wheeee~

Finally, wish after wish comes true! Boyfie and I went to the Godiva store in Suntec. It was chocolate heaven! Eye popping selections graced the store... mostly of their popular truffles. 

Such exquisite chocolates! Godiva is ❤️! 😋😃🍫 #godiva #godivachocolate @godiva @godivauk #chocolate #yummy #nomnom #foodie

But I was there only for the ice cream! There were choices of all dark, all vanilla, and mixed. Of course, I chose all dark chocolate! Hihihi~ :D

Now, finally, I have a contribution to the worldwide Instagram photos of Godiva ice cream! #godivaicecream 

Heavenly and creamy and silky dark chocolate! Godiva ice cream has the most beautiful swirl ever! 😲🍫😋 #godiva #godivaicecream #darkchocolate #chocolate #icecream #yummy #nomnom #foodphotography #foodie #godivachocolate

It’s a beautiful swirl of chocolate! You can see that it’s artistically crafted. The chocolate drizzle and that edible Godiva tag gives the perfect finishing touch. Oooh... pretty! 

The flavor is full of surprises! It has a silky texture that’s gently sweet to the palate. Delectable ultra creamy dark chocolate! How do I describe it further? Hmmm... Exquisite. Delicious. Royal.

I just couldn’t get enough! The cone is full of ice cream till the very bottom. And when I finished it all, I felt sad that it’s all gone. Awww... But yeah... I’m happy that I finally got to eat such a beauty! 

[Game Review] Perfect Match (Choices)

Warning! Spoilers ahead!

My usual reviews don’t include spoilers. But today, I’ll make an exception. Sharing about this episode with restrictions won’t do my emotions justice. Hey, I love this book! 

Perfect Match is a good book!

I’m writing about the “Perfect Match” book in the game “Choices”. Following Blood Bound, I decided to play a romance book for the sake of finishing chapters for ingame Diamonds. What I didn’t know was, it would become so addictive to play.  😂

So last warning, if you don’t want spoilers, scroll no further!

😂😂😂

I’m serious, this is your last chance...

Okay, here goes...

Review: 5/5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Writing and Gameplay:

The writing is very immersive! The play of words help you picture the scenes as they come alive with the art and music. As for the gameplay, the most important choice is the matchmaking quiz. The personality of your love interest will be determined here. It will influence the whole direction of the story. Which I think, is genius! More adventures is revealed in every chapter. As it was placed under the romance section, I didn’t expect it to evolve into science fiction. That is such a good twist! So, romantic science fiction it is!  

Can you smell the pancakes, too?

Art and Music: 

Art and music is everywhere in this book. The sceneries were on point. From the quaint apartments to soaring skyscrapers, it such an artistic achievement! The characters look beautiful, especially their clothes. With the music to put the right mood in, it becomes one great book!

Beautiful background!

This is my main character, beautiful in that dress.

Plot: 

It just started out with a matchmaking service. So I thought, hey this is like a story about falling in love through an app? I was skeptical at first, but finding out how the story unfolds is the best part. So, I stuck around and went to answer the questions about my ideal partner. There are a total of sixteen personalities, and I got... Rebellious! 

Yeah! Rebels rule!

“Yes! Yes!”, that was my initial reaction. The quiz figured me out to a T. Genius! 

Next was about meeting the match, named Hayden. You can choose how he looks like. The first date was awesome! I got so kilig and what can I say? Love at first sight? 

My perfect match, Hayden. 

Our first date was.... impressive! 

The book really toyed with my emotions and made it such an exciting experience. Now that is totally a winner! 

The first parts of the episode were about getting to know each other and going out on more dates. I initially thought that it would stay that way throughout all the remaining chapters.

He's just soooo romantic. Siiiigh~

But boy, I was wrong! Come halfway through, a major twist occurred! Hayden is a robot! Shookt! 

I was presented with a dilemma. I fell in love with an android and it’s too late to change my mind. Would you love an android? Someone who’s not human, someone with no soul? 

Yep, this book is also about mind boggling philosophies. I love it! I would’ve broken up with Hayden when I found out what he is. But my real life boyfriend (who likes everything AI) and I talked about it. He said if a robot is able to think for himself and develop his own personality, then it’s okay to have a relationship with it.

What would you have chosen?

So there you have it, that’s the reason why I still accepted Hayden as my MC’s boyfriend. 

And that’s where the plot really propelled forward. From becoming a fugitive to destroying a mega corporation, my character and Hayden went through all of it, up until the cliffhanger ending. For your sake, I won’t spoil the plot further. 😂

Conclusion:

The Choices team really exceeded my expectations with Perfect Match. It is everything I love in a story. And rarely do I replay the book and spend for some Diamond scenes. 

And I tell you this, that ending was full of potential and more conflicts for Book 2! Can’t wait! Airing this month, you guys! Yay!

Perfect Match: Book 2 launches September 5th! Who's your fave character in Perfect Match? 💘 . . . #playchoices #perfectmatch #adventure #romance #sciencefiction #amreading #bookstagram #coverreveal #booklove #game #mobilegame #visualnovel #choicesstoriesyouplay
