Buy 1 Free 1 - Noggi Frozen Yogurt is in town!

It's finally open! And yay! Its gonna be great 'cuz i get to indulge myself with Noggi's Frozen Yogurt.

They are actually situated at several places in Brisbane city. The Queen St Myer Centre branch is now officially open. And guess what?

They are doing a Grand Opening Weekend Special - Buy 1 get 1 free for the regular size frozen yogurt. Awesome! I think its a pretty great deal! You'll get yourself 2 regular-sized frozen yogurt on this hot sumer day for only $5.50 and you get to choose 3 of your own topping from their wide variety; from fresh strawberries to Tim Tams and even cocopops! Yum yum yum~

I've actually went there twice today! Oh gosh~ very guilty... Lols... Had the green tea and original flavours! Its such an indulge on a hot summer day! I've tried the mango flavor as well. Not too bad but I definitely recommend the green tea flavor ones. The second time I went, green tea flavor sold out!!! So those of you who are green tea fans, you need to hurry go get some!

The whole decor of the shop was simplistic and natural. The interior was amazingly different; they have these section where you can sit on the grass area with pillows and side tables. It's pretty relaxing sitting there, chit-chatting and enjoying a cup of frozen yogurt. Although I do think that it would be much comfortable to sit on the pillow rather than the grass itself. =)

So those of you who are in Brisbane or will be coming to Brisbane today or tomorrow, just drop by and enjoy some frozen yogurt while they are having this awesome Grand Opening Weekend Special! Enjoy your weekend people!!

How-to Mango Tango on a Friday night?

No, my post is not gonna be talking about Tango dancing at all... But it is about Mango of course! ^^

Well, one of the best part of my summer season is eating mango! : ) Yesterday, I got this Calypso Mangoes, 2 for $4.50 from Woollies. Not really sure if is a really a great offer but well it doesn't really matter to me though. I haven't been eating mangoes for quite some time. 

Then, I realized something yesterday... I have never peel or cut a mango myself at all. Felt pretty annoyed by that fact! Don't be mistaken. I had mangoes before... Mostly in desserts and occasionally my dad would be the one doing the slicing and peeling job at home. So, to be honest, yesterday was my first time peeling and slicing one. 

Not gonna make a big hoo-hah 'bout me slicing my first mango but I am pretty sure there are some of you whom never sliced your own mango as well.

Here are some how-to tips for you.

Step 1

Before slicing any fruits or vegetable, I would usually rinse them with water to get rid of the wax coating. Although I have read article saying that sometimes is almost impossible to get rid of the bacteria underneath the wax coating by just rinsing with the water, but I still think is somehow better than not rinsing it.

Step 2
The mango has a flat seed in the middle, cutting into three portions will easily get rid of the seed.
Cut the mango into three portions as shown as the picture. Leave the middle portion (seed) aside.

Step 3
Make light cross-cut slices on the other two portions  and make sure you do not slice through the skin.
With your fingers, push the skin-side of the mango cheek up so that the skin can lie flat on the plate or chopping board.

Step 4
Cut along the base of the cross-cuts (close to the skin) and serve.

Step 5

Eat the flesh around seed by cutting or peeling off the skin from the middle section.

Step 2

Step 3a

Step 5

I hope these steps are useful to you. I still think I need lots of practices though. Here are some Youtube video which I find very useful as well. Check it out!

Off to study for now... = [ Lucky me I have my mangoes, grapes and yogurt to spice up my Friday night! Have a great Friday peeps! xoxo~
