A good Chocolate Tart is so difficult to find in KL. What more a really good one. I finally managed to try the Chocolate Tart @ THIRTY8, Grand Hyatt KL after missing out on it during my previous visits because it wasn't tart of the day. It didn't manage to get away from me this time. *evil laugh*

Now isn't that just picture perfect! Chocolate Tart served with Chantilly Cream and Berry Compote. I was fascinated at how beautifully the berry compote cascaded by the side of the tart as though hanging from an invisible branch. That is one photogenic tart.

There is a certain lightness to the intensity of the chocolate. It's a chocolate custard centre topped with chocolate ganache. The thickness or should I say 'thin-ness' of the crust was just nice so as to not interrupt the smoothness of the chocolate. It just melts in the mouth.                                 

The tinge of tartness in the berry compote lends a wonderful varied taste to the chocolate and the richness of the double cream. You would think the whole dessert sounds a tad heavy but it really is very light.

I would have gone for seconds if I didn't have to rush off for a product launch. *boo* :P I dare say this is the best Chocolate Tart in town. Definitely the best since my trip back to Paris last year. 

The Chocolate Tart is definitely Chocolate Cats approved and a must try. I'm not just saying it because I'm a chocolate addict. I enjoyed it immensely!

The double chocolate soft cookie that came with my tea was also a treat. They should really consider selling those cookies by weight. It's yummy!

Coming up: Final Chocolate Cats Giveaway and It's All About Hair.

The choices just increased to ten more varieties of dim sum on top of the existing 50 odd variety. Seriously how is it even possible to choose. So Tai Zi Heen @ Prince Hotel & Residence KL has come up with very attractive promotion for you dim sum fans, All You Can Eat Dim Sum! Unlimited serving at an affordable price. Dim Sum Master Chef Chong and his culinary team have specially created more than 60 variety of Dim Sum for your weekend indulgence.

Their exclusive selections consists of both traditional Hong Kong Dim Sum, Tai Zi Heen's signature Dim Sum and the popular Dim Sum Odyssey - the exciting fusion varieties.

The All You Can Eat Dim Sum menu includes a wide selection of Steamed, Pan-Fried, Deep-Fried, Baked, Rice Rolls, Congee, Rice, Noodles, Vegetables and Desserts dishes.

I had a chance to try out the ten new additions to the already extensive dim sum menu. I have my favourites but they were generally yummy. If my taste buds are right they were also low in salt content yet still had good flavour.

Congratulations! One more to go.. The Final Giveaway will be up very soon. You don't want to miss it. :)

I don't need an excuse to wear a bling cat ear headband and sequin skirts. It would be great if I could wear a sequin item everyday but that's a tough one to get away with in my case. Imagine the gasps of horror at my work place.

I had an awesome early Birthday dinner last Thursday with too much food. Reflecting on the year that passed, I have had a great time, learned so much, met some new people, wished I didn't do some things and ate some delish desserts. Here's hoping the next year will be even more fabulously amazing than the last. *fingers crossed*

Thank loads everyone for joining this extra giveaway! The final giveaways are near and they are going to be really good ones. The next one should be up by tomorrow evening. Stay tuned. :)

I am super excited to share with you guys an Exclusive LIVE Streaming of BURBERRY Prorsum Women's Spring Summer 2013 Collection. It will be happening today 17th September 2012, 4pm London Time LIVE from Hyde Park London. Which means it will be happening at 11.00pm Malaysian Time. Huge thanks to the peeps at the PR Company of Burberry Prorsum Malaysia for letting me share this with you guys.

Tune in for the show at 11.00pm MALAYSIA!

Talk about curious! This was my reaction when I first saw it, "Huh? What's that?". Then I saw the promo poster accompanying it, "Ooo interesting..." *went on to fondle it*. 

Elianto Curvee Eyeliner Pen has a unique shape which features a new ergonomic design. The reason behind the design is to ensure a firm grip for precise application which is suitable for either you righties or lefties. Curvee is made in Germany and is an exclusive collaboration between Aivoria Group's Elianto and Schwan-Stabilo Cosmetics.

To take off the cap, you need to twist it off. It's made this way so that the cap will not accidentally slip off. The tip is the felt skinny type like a pointy marker pen. It's easy to control the movement of the tip and there is no overflowing of the liquid.

I needed a little getting use to with the handle of the liner since it is nothing like the usual kind. I think I only got the hang of holding it after the third use. Once I did, it flows really easily to get a clean line. It's mistake proof and even if you accidentally nudged your hand a bit, just draw over it. It's also simple to get it as close to the lash line as possible. Needless to say drawing a thicker line is a snap.

I had this one for 7 hours so far and there was no smudging nor transfer. I have told that it's also waterproof. Even after having it on for a long period the colour stays fresh just as it looked like when I first applied it.

What I like best about the Curvee is the price tag. For an eyeliner that satisfies all my basic requirements of a liquid liner it retails at only RM33 and the refill is RM27. Yes it's refillable! However I do find it a tad bulky to fit into my makeup bag. Currently the Curvee stays in my makeup basket at home. 

It will also be available in other colours soon. Elianto Curvee is now available at all Elianto outlets.

The private fashion was muy caliente with sexy models Showing Off the collection and well fit guys models going around promoting the bras on a 'tray'. As my invitation is courtesy of Tammy (Plusizekitten via La Senza),  I was requested not to include the photos of the female models in my post so as to respect the modesty of the female models.
