Junior MasterChef Australia



ABBEY: I was awed by this tv series. Imagine children aging from 7 to 12 years old are the kings and queens of kitchen kingdom. For the 50 of them, grouped by 10, the first challenge is to cook their own favourite dish, be it dessert or main course. Out of 10, only 6 will go to the next round.  They also cooked in a high school canteen in which they will served lots of students. Another challenge is to cook with their celebrity chef against another group. The 2 resident judges joined also joined the kids in the "remote challenge". The little chefs instructs the judges on headsets what to do and how to cook the dish. I wasn't able to watch all the episodes but I didn't miss the finale. Its head to head between Jack, 13-years old and Isabelle,12. The battle was divided in two parts. First is to invent a "Hatty" dish with only quail, scallop and lamb as the core ingredient. Isabella got 47 while Jack had 41. On the second part, they must copy a recipe from champion dessert chef. After more then 2 hours, Jack received 3 11/10 score for a total of 91 but that wasn't enough to beat Isabella who got only perfect 10 for 5 judges but totaled 97. As it was fun for all the contestants, it was also for me. I was able to find interest and be inspired by those little chefs to give my best when I cook. A good series from Star World.

WILL: Anak ng.. marunong na mag poach ng egg? Huwat! Mas magaling pa sa akin maghiwa at magbalat! I need to learn form these kids! I am rooting for Jack but I know the judges like Isabelle's creations. 
      Well whoever will be the winner, I want to be like them! Ha! Soon I will be like them.. hehe. :)

Seattle's Best Coffee

ABBEY: What I like the most in this cafe is their chocolate drink. Its very rich in flavour and has a great aroma, be it hot or a cold one. We used to go this shop whenever we have team meetings back when I was in Philippines. I hope they will open a branch here in SG soon.

WILL: My favorite ice blended coffee is from Seattle's Best. When I was in Philippines, week will not pass that I will not set my foot in one of their cafes.
      I love their Javachip Javakula. Try it well recommended. Hope meron din dito s Singapore. Miss it taste.

The Body Shop - Moisturizer

ABBEY: 
We always wait for their promotions of body wash. Those citrus-scented products is relaxing and invigorating. Prices starts from 12sgd but only 5 when they're in promo. Not bad huh. They also gave us samples of moisturizer. It worked for my skin and haven't developed any rash. Thanks Body Shop.



WILL:
My husband registered me to be a member of The Body Shop. Every time they have new products, of course they notify us to try it on. So we have this product for free. One night, we tried this moisturiser. It indicates to be compatible on all skin type, we applied on our faces, the smell is not that pleasant unlike other products. The feeling after an overnight, hmmm i can say a satisfactory result. One is enough.
