Fabulous Friday Finds

via Pinterest

Hello darlings! 

Don't you just love yummy desserts! Well, I do. I do love desserts. Although I have a wicked sweet tooth, it's discriminating. I don't like anything that's too sweet, such as sweet candies / caramelized apple (basically everything with caramel in it, so no Crème brûlée for me) / cupcakes with way-too-thick-icing. Just because it has sugar in it doesn't mean I'm going to eat it. Oh dear I hope I don't sound like a desserts snob. (; My kinds of cakes are cheesecakes (all kinds), tiramisu, red velvet and chocolate (esp. nutella) cakes.

Anyhoo... I always eat cake every weekend (not everyday, I'm avoiding diabetes lah) to keep my sanity and what I have been thinking about is which sweet treats I will indulge this weekend! Mmm... can't wait! 

Have a yummy weekend! 

If you want to try to make your own desserts, you might want to try this no bake cheesecake / pink vanilla pocky cake / tiramisu cheesecake / s'mores chocolate chip cookies

I want this tee.

I can relate to this very much. Happens to me everytime!

I'm so in love with this pair of sunglasses.

Gorgeous installation for Dior 2012 AW haute couture show.

DIY color blocked spoons.

I can't find my pantone color, can you find yours?

Some cute hot air balloon centerpieces!

'til next Friday! kiss. 

Yay or Nay?

Macaroons

Yay or nay? Naaayyy!!! I don't love macaroons albeit they really are delicious and come in an insane range of flavors. Yes a lot of people love macaroons, doesn't mean I have to love them as well. Well okay, maybe there are some particular macaroons that I like... the ones from pâtisserie Sadaharu Aoki and Pierre Hermé I like them both! But Ladurée, not so much. Maybe a lot of people going crazy for Ladurée because they haven't tried the ones from pâtisserie Sadaharu Aoki and Pierre Hermé. In Bali, there was this small macaroon shop that I also quite like, it used to be inside the Metis restaurant. But the few weeks ago I went there and found that the macaroon shop is out of business, oh dear. In conclusion, I don't go gaga over macaroons except they're from pâtisserie Sadaharu Aoki and Pierre Hermé (:

Cupcakes

Yay or nay? Ehm... not a fan. If someone give cupcakes to me, I'll eat one. But I won't buy cupcakes myself. Too thick icing, too sugary and the flavors don't work on me. So, nay. 

Green velvet cupcakes = perfect treat for St. Patty’s Day. Why I picked this photo? Because my birthday = St. Patty's Day lol 

Apple Strudle (Apfelstrudle)

Yay or nay? Yaaaayyy!!! (: In Indonesia, I always buy apple strudle from Corica and Domino's Pizza. And of course, at the annual Christkindl-markt event at Hotel Aryaduta Jakarta.  They're so gooooood! Corica, originally from Perth is my favorite since the first time I tasted one back in 2004-ish. Soft pastry and flaky to the fork with perfectly sweetened custard along with with soft, sweetened apples. Ugh now I'm craving for it. Blah. I. Want. Corica. Right. Now.

Yoghurt
Yay or nay? Well... I gotta say, yay. HOWEVER, I somehow do not enjoy drinking yoghurt, both plain and flavored ones. I only love frozen yoghurt and my favorite places to get froyo are Sour Sally and JCool. Red Mango in Indonesia not so much, because they don't have mochi topping.

Getting my froyo at J.Cool

Will always love plain froyo with longan and mochi toppings (:

Magnum Ice Cream
Yay or nay? Well I only love the vanilla ice cream, but the so-called Belgian chocolate covering the vanilla ice cream? Nope.

White Chocolate
Yay or nay? Naaaayyy... too sweet. I love milk chocolate with cashew nuts / biscuits / macadamia nuts / hazelnuts - favorite brand: Hawaiian Host, Lindt, Godiva, Valrhona, Choceur - Rahm Mandel, Nestle and Milka.
