Household Essentials During CB + $100 Vouchers Giveaway!

This week's newsflash - This CB is extended for another month.

That's right. For another month. With additional rules, stricter regulations, and without my favourite bubble tea. Heck, I was even thinking of cutting my hair this weekend. The government went "these are not essentials, so nope."

oh God.

So about 2.5 weeks of CB has passed, so that's another... 5.5 weeks?!

So ladies and gentlemen, what are you going to do at home besides "working at home"? I, for one, went straight to the mama shop to get some tapioca flour and brown sugar to make some pearls after news of the major bubble tea stores are closed. I'm thinking of what would be on the cooking list next few weeks, Dalgona coffee or some herbal soup maybe.

Like always, I am your trusty lobang king  when it comes to finding the best deal - high quality with affordable pricing, especially during this CB period, where businesses is losing and cash is tight. This week is no different.

This week, Global e-Beauty is coming up with a new and VERY ATTRACTIVE Promotion, which the stay-at-home Mummies and Daddies will absolutely love.

Household Necessities, Cookwares and Electronics up to 80% OFF!

[GIVEAWAY] La Tarte Tropezienne

French are good at artistically portrayed romance, that's one. But do you know the pastries that we consume today are mostly inspired by the French? Take for example - the souffle, tartes, crepes, brulees, and the list goes on infinitely. Little do I know about the Tarte Tropezienne, when I was invited to sample these adorable treats from the lovely people at La Tropezienne.

I utilised my research skills by searching them on Google (now, how hard was that..), and found out that they are not really "tarts" at all, but rather a circular disc of brioche, sliced horizontally and filled with buttercream. Tarte Tropezienne derives its name from Saint-Tropez, where it is said to have originated in the 1940s from the place itself.

Different from the original version of Tarte Tropezienne, which is about 9-inch in diameter, their rendition of the buttery-rich brioche pastry filled with flavoured cream is of bite-sized. And yes, meaning there is no need for fussy utensils and better, it is mess-free!

If you are still wondering why these little treats look familiar, the reason is because of the close resemblance of the French macarons. However, the tartes are much lighter on the tastebuds with lesser sugar content and coloring, and to a certain extent, packed with a whole lot more of textures - from the sugar sprinkles, down to the rich and tender-crumb of the brioche and finally - the thick, luscious cream. Flavours include The Original, Chocolate, Lime, Hazelnut, Coffee and Green Tea.

For orders and furthur enquiries (deliver options, etc.), do visit La Tarte Tropezienne's site here.

As you all would have known, selfish is probably the last description of myself, that's why I have asked the lovely people at La Tarte Tropezienne, and they have kindly agreed to share their dainty French treats with 5 of my lucky readers. So without further ado, here's 3 simple task that you have to do:
