Invitation: Hanito Party @ Pasta de Waraku

How am I ever going to lose the weight when I'm such a blessed and loved little girl??? Pasta de Waraku had invited me to their Hanito Party to celebrate the launch of their new dessert - the HANITO!!!!

Huh??? What is that, you ask? Wait la...I will show you...

 MEDIA only hor!!!


They had Pasta de Waraku @ The Heeren all dressed up for the event!!!


Meet Felicia, the nice sweet lady who invited me for this event. 
They had previously invited me for another event months ago, and I had overlooked that email until days after the actual event date!!! I'm glad they didn't blacklist me...lol~

Oh oh!!!! I was THE FIRST ONE to arrive!!! ;)
(Sekali they thought I was being gian peng...lol~)


Guess who I was seated with!!!!
From left: Patrick from 8Days/i-Weekly, then me, Chiew Mei from hungrygowhere, and Valerie from @dlib (pronounced adlib). Free great food, and meeting loads of influential people (eh hem~hem~ me counted).
I'm glad I came. =D

Okay, so what is HANITO? For those of you have been to Shibuya in Tokyo,you may be familiar with this dessert. It's popularly served as a dessert in Japan in some restaurants, cafes and eateries. 

If like me, you're still ulu even after having been there, now's not too late to get acquainted with this dessert, and you don't even have to fly to Japan.

Think thick buttered toast cut conveniently for you into cubes, oozing with sweet honey and sinfully topped with ice cream, fruits, and other yummies, with a very crunchy-on-the-outside-soft-and-warm-on-the-inside exterior.... Oooooo~~~



I was told to choose which Hanito to have...man....how to choose....



I had a really hard time deciding if I wanted Apple Cinnamon, Matcha Red Bean, or Peanut Butter... The Earthquake looked so good too, but I didn't want to kill myself after eating...



 This was what I settled on. The Matcha Red Bean. I'm a green tea person.







The exterior (where I had 'folded' with the fork) was delicious!!!! That was my favourite part of the Hanito! You can actually taste the honey on the toasted-to-perfection bread, sweet, crispy, soft and warm, all at once!


Here are some of the other flavours ordered (not by myself of course)...

 Tiramisu.


 Choco Banana.



 Peanut Butter.


See, the good thing about making friends and sitting together in a bigger group instead of sitting at one corner by myeslf, is that we get to order different things and try each other's food! =D 


My tummy had a feast just tasting the different Hanitos on our table.



 Extremely satisfied after Hanito-ing. Would be nice if I can have this at home...then after eating...just crawl into bed and zzZzzZz~ Comfort food....
Then again, knowing me, I might just have it on the bed itself~ 



Too full. Lol I overate, and I was asked if I would like another drink. *waves white flag*

Great dessert overall, and I would order it if I'm dining with friends, cos then we can all share~ On its own it's actually good enough as a meal, especially if you're looking for something sweet but not TOO sweet. When you're not looking to eat a full pasta meal, this one alone's great. And guess what...

It only costs $6.80!!!!!!
And it's available at all Pasta de Waraku outlets~

I'm definitely coming back for more. Thumbs up Pasta de Waraku!!!!

The Best Halloween Costume

Is fully grown, unshaven armpit hair on a lady. Who's bothered to have her hair dyed, acrylic gels done, toenails painted and pretty nail art done, and dresses not-too-badly.

I know my idea came late. Was at Universal Studios on the eve of Halloween (yes, the same day as the flea...I went to destress after the super stressful experience..), and just before I entered Universal Studios, I was drawn by the Hershey's shop outside... I used to be really crazy about Hershey's, especially the cookies and cream milk bar. And the kisses were a favourite between young couples back in secondary school, remember? Yeah~



I found this!!! So cool! Like petroleum or something, except it's another dangerous liquid...chocolate syrup!!!

Then when I was in here, the strong whiff of popcorn drew me next door...to Garrett's!!! Garrett is really famous in the states, or so I heard. And the popcorn is really yums, except that it's kinda pricey. A small pack (okay la that's your regular Cathay popcorn size) is $8. Worth every cent though, so that's not SO bad...

And when my partner was deciding which flavour to get, this Chinese lady came, cut my queue, and posted a hell lotta questions to the staff, while resting both her elbows on the glass counter. It wouldn't have bothered me if I hadn't seen the black undergrowth in the pit of her arms......
 
KNNJDCYDDBT!!!!! Sibeh gross can!!!!???
I mean, it's not stubby shaven but grown out armpit hair you know...it's full-length uncut long thick armpit-ful of hair!!! EEEeeEeeWWW~~~~

It looked like this... (stop eating or drinking if you don't want to end up choking...)


































I didn't take a picture of that lady la..but this was what it looked like lor...
 
And she's a lady who had bothered to dye her hair, had her nail extensions done, complete with nail art, dresses not too badly, and pedicure's almost perfect. And she could not bother to shave/wax/epilate/laser the pitty hairs off??? Urgh~ I swear the best Halloween getup would be this....just look normal and walk with everyone else...IN THE CROWD, then suddenly lift up your arms and shove your armpitful of hair into someone's face. It will DEFINITELY garner more screams than the 'ghosts' who had bothered or been employed to dress up at those Halloween events....

*cringe*
 
Okay Silver....get over it...breathe~~~

Anyway...after the disgusting fright, I entered Universal Studios for "A Night in the Nether Land". 
(What could be scarier than that lady in the popcorn shop?)
 








 I think this one's quite creative. I almost wanted to get a drink then I realized the bottles are all covered in cobwebs~ 





 Vntage cars~!!! I have this thing for posing with cars in theme parks....I took similar pictures at Universal Studios Hollywood...


The Hollywood ones somehow look more colourful~ The whole Universal Studios I mean. Not really been to the one in Singapore in the day, so can't really compare I guess...

Overall, mmm, not very exciting leh the event. The good thing was there was a lotta free food. The crew were allwalking around giving out free chicken fingers, churros etc. And I got a free souvenir bottle filled with Coke. Not forgetting every ticket also comes with a free combo meal which we can redeem at any of the 3 food outlets inside (Is it 3? I think I saw 3 la...) I think our Chinese 7th month spooks me more...even when no one's dressed up....

Imagine you really saw 'something', and you thought 'it' was someone dressed up as a ghost. And you just say "Hi" to 'it' when 'it' comes up to you... (that's what I did to all the people dressed up for Halloween leh...lol...anyone who tried to scare me must have felt dejected....)
