Ever wonder what magic words can do to a person? Well, during my teen times, whenever my parents blurted out the magic word “pocket money”, I’ll obey all the commands given. As I grew up, I respond to different magic words differently.

The number 10 symbolises perfection or completeness. How very apt for Pizza Hut’s new and innovative 10 layered pizza called the Chunky Loaded.

Laced with tortilla chips, mozzarella and cheese smothered in Napoli sauce and freshly oven bake on a crust that’s not too thick and not too thin; it is truly a genius creation!

With all 10 layers of ingredients starting from Crunchy Crust, Napoli Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Roasted Veggie Mix, Tortilla Crust, Roasted Veggie Mix, Chicken or Beef Topping, Diced Tomatoes, Tortilla Strips and Mozzarella Cheese; the Chunky Loaded pizza was jam packed with goodness!

Seriously, it tasted so good! It’s like having thin crust pizza, lasagna and tortilla at one go, only better! I really appreciate the lightness of a crisp, cracker-like slice. It satisfies my craving not just for pizza itself, but also for a taste of other awesome toppings!

It was so good that Vivy wanted to have the whole pan by herself!

A dine in combo set for 2 persons (RM 30.90++) consists of 1 Regular Chunky Loaded Pizza, 2 Soup of the Day, 1 Garlic Breadstix and 2 glasses of Pepsi. If you come in a group of 4, go for the Chunky Loaded combo 2 that costs RM 49.90.

Smoked Deli Wings

We were filled to the brim after walloping slice after slice of Chunky Loaded pizza but the food kept flowing in! Noone was complaining though. ☺

I got a beautiful model to showcase the perfect wings.

Pasta with Tempura Prawn

Meatball Bolognaise

Trio Platter of Masala Roll, Honey BBQ Wings, Criss Cut Fries. It is perfect for sharing; among friends and families as everyone can try a little bit of everything.

Kim, KY and Haze looking all joyful and contented.

It was a lovely, fun filled evening. Thanks to Pizza Hut for having us and gracing us with your attentive services.

It’s that time of the year again. When the moon is at its roundest, children light lanterns and families devour mooncakes that symbolizes reunion. This year, Tai Thong introduces 5 new mooncake flavours that become an instant hit in the market.

Tai Thong mooncakes comes with four collectible boxes based on four seasons of a year – Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter. The aluminum box makes a great treasure box and I’m going to stuff it with my knick-knacks and priced possession.

I absolutely adore my autumn themed box simply because nothing is more synonymous with the mid autumn festival than the mooncakes.

A two-piece mooncake box is also available. Corporate box is available with 6 assorted mooncake flavours and 3 bottles of instant bird’s nest drink.

From top left: Golden Honey Grapefruit with Pineapple for Summer, Snowy White Lotus with Sesame & Custard for Winter, Wholesome Wheatgrass with Single Yolk for Spring, Savoury White Lotus with Shrimp Sambal for Autumn.

Tai Thong Mooncake is one of the oldest mooncake brands around in Malaysia but Group Executive Chef Yiu Wing Keung never fails to come out with all the innovative mooncake flavours. I’m truly amazed!

These mooncakes makes great gifts to friends and families of all races because they have been certified HALAL by JAKIM.

The Wholesome Wheatgrass with Single Yolk is one of my favourite; it has a refreshing hint of wheatgrass and makes a perfect combination with the egg yolk. A health aficionado would love the Golden Honey Grapefruit with Pineapple; it is fruity, citrusy and not too sweet. Another favourite of mine being the Snowy White Lotus with Sesame & Custard. The Savoury White Lotus with Shrimp Sambal is a very brave and bold combination. Shrimp sambal replaces traditional egg yolk as the centre filing, which gives you a sweet and (slightly) spicy sensation. You’ll either love it or hate it.

For more information on Tai Thong’s mooncake, check out www.facebook.com/taithong and click LIKE to access more information. Participate in “The Sweetest Snapshot Contest” to win great prices such as dining vouchers, Ipad2s and Iphone4s.

The contest runs from 11th July – 4th September 2011 (8 weeks in total). For Weeks 1-7, fans are to take a photo of ANY of the new mooncake boxes, post it on the Facebook contest app together with a caption ‘I love Tai Thong Mooncakes because…’ in less than 25 words. 5 posts with the most votes in that week will go on to the next round where internal judges will select the most creative photo and caption as winner. For Week 8, the same rules apply with the exception of photo requirement: fans are to take a photo of ALL of the new mooncake boxes.

Easy peasy right? Enjoy Tai Thong mooncake and win your way to exciting prizes now!

I’m one of those girls who grew up watching SK-II TVC showing their brand ambassadors in crystal clear skin with minimal make up. The scene will then move to feature an elderly worker with wrinkled face, but extraordinary soft and youthful hand that were in constant contact with the sake fermentation process.

Behind the scenes of every skin-care ad, there’s a great discovery story and the story of SK-II began at a sake brewery in Japan. It took years of research for scientists to isolate the miracle ingredient: Pitera™, a naturally-derived liquid from the yeast fermentation process that boasts amino acids, minerals, organic acids and vitamins. It helps transform skin to become crystal clear and translucent.

Pizza Hut is the place for friends and families to get together

When I was little, my parents used to bring my sisters and me to Pizza Hut on special occasions. Those were the days where eating out is considered as luxury by my family and the best that we can do is Pizza Hut. It is a place where we enjoyed our mushroom soup, bread sticks and pizzas. It is also a place where we perfected the art of filling our salad bowl to where the brim starts to flare out. Whenever I see the red roof logo, it brings back fond childhood memories.

As I grew up, I still go to Pizza Hut from time to time but I couldn’t afford to indulge on my favourite Super Supreme Pizza, Spaghetti Meatball Bolognese and Hawaiian Chicken Pizza on a daily basis especially during a ‘dry spell’ period.

This is where Pizza Hut has stepped up to the mark! With the WOW Savers 50% Off Weekday Special Promotion, dining in at Pizza Hut becomes so affordable that I can enjoy all my favourites, everyday!
