REVIEW : VIDA E CAFFE'S CHOCOLATE FRIO (BAGATELLE MALL)

Yet another review, 
so let's get started, some weeks back during the study break, I went to Bagatelle with some friends to have lunch, so I wanted to do a quick review of Vida E Caffé which is a very famous Café in Mauritius found in Bagatelle Mall, Grand Baie, La Croisette and Londay Way supermarket. More information can be found on the Café's Facebook .

As drink, I ordered the usual which is also my favorite, Chocolate Frio which is consisted of blended ice, lindt chocolate and milk. Personally I hate drinking stuffs that contain milk but this one is the bomb. It costs Rs 130 and totally worth the money.



Here is a picture of what it looks like :


Yummmmmmmmmmmmy, I feel like eating my screen right now haha. When you are drinking it you feel the crushed chocolate bites which is really good. So delicious


These are the specific chocolate they give you as extras with every drink you buy. I absolutely love this chocolate. You only get one chocolate per drink, these chocolates are only for the purpose of the picture of course.

The verdict :

The service : 10/10 
The atmosphere : 10/10
The drink : 10/10

REVIEW : AH YON SNACK

Hello everyone,
sorry for being so late in doing some more reviews, assignments and group works' been taking my time these past few weeks. Today i'll be reviewing Ah-Yon Snack which has recently been opened at Labourdonnais street in Port Louis. It is a small chinese snack with delicious snacks like fried "wonton", Oeuf Roti (Egg roti), Ahkien and so much more. 

My mom and I, were looking for something cheap and something that would be enough to fill our belly haha. So Ah-Yon snack has fried noodles for only Rs 35 which is crazily cheap given that most snacks or even restaurants sell fried noodles for about Rs 70-85 which is still affordable yet sometimes a bit expensive if you are looking for something to eat under Rs 100. Without forgetting that the kind lady at Ah-Yon snack offered my mom and I, soups along with our fried noodles.

Here is a picture of the snack from the outside :


Could not take a picture of the inside on that particular day as we were in a hurry to get home haha ;)



The fried noodles were packed in a plastic bag as I live near the snack but the food was very well packed


A rather clear picture of the shredded chicken that was delicious i have to admit !!



The picture of the soup that we got as extras, the pictures are not doing justice to the quantity that we received, but it was more than enough for both my mother and I.



So here is how much you really get, see there is so muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch. Totally worth the Rs 35.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The verdict *drum rolls*

The service : 10/10 (They are so kind and always have a smile on their face and gave us the soups as extras)
The atmosphere : 10/10 (Pleasant, even if we did not spend too much time there, as it only took them 5 minutes or so to prepare the fried noodle)
The food : 10/10 (Oh my god, so delicious that i could keep on licking my fingers!)

If ever you are near Labourdonnais street, do look out for Ah Yon snack, you won't be deceived i promise ;) and don't forget to share your opinion as well in the comment section below, i would love to hear about your experience there!

My experience on Twitter

It took me two to three days to experience Twitter well for understanding retweets, because I normally do not retweet tweets of other people on Twitter at all, I usually just tweet about random stuffs I do throughout my day or sometimes I do not tweet at all. During the past three days, I discovered that I can find interesting tweets by clicking on the hashtags, as my topic is about food, I went through practically every hashtags I could think of, #foodreviews, #foodlovers, #food and #foodie and I found so many interesting tweets that is linked to my blog’s topic. Hashtag clearly makes the use of twitter easier. There are so many tweets from people who love food that is linked to interesting articles and also what I found is great is that the sometimes people attach their blog in their tweet to promote their blog in a way.

This retweet is related to one of the reviews I did on chocolate chip cookies from Montréal Café on my blog and by far this cookie seems so much more delicious whereas the one I reviewed seemed delicious but was too sweet for my liking. I believe that the picture attached to the retweet will attract the attention of food lovers to my blog.

This retweet is a motivation for food lovers/foodie like me who sometimes do not want to wake up in the morning, but in the end when I think about the food that is waiting for me which is normally breakfast, it makes it all worth it. In a food lover’s life, food has a very important place which in a way becomes his/her motivation when they have to get up or when they are feeling lazy.

These two tweets about the articles found on my blog, are by far the most interesting articles online because I feel like I know a lot about shaved ice and bubble tea, and I can go on talking about these two articles, specially bubble tea because I have tried every bubble tea that exists in Mauritius so far and the shaved ice dessert, I tried it so many times and all the different flavors that exist. Also, these two articles have many information including my very own opinion for people who like me would love to discover this new beverage called bubble tea and this new desert that is shaved ice which is one of the famous one so far in Mauritius because Mauritians have never experienced this type of desert.

REVIEW : MONTRÉAL CAFE

 Hello, sorry for being MIA (Missing In Action) for so long, was kinda busy with assignments and so on.
So i'm back today with another review, this time I am reviewing the famous Montréal Café found in Rose-Hill. I don't know if you had a chance to go there but if you do, do leave a comment in the comment section and let me know what you ordered and how you found it :)

The atmosphere is wow, by wow i mean it is very cosy and comfortable, here are some pictures of the café and its decor which i find is quite vintage and creative of course :









I ordered the famous cookies that was recommended by the owner, those cookies were at 3 for Rs 100 which i found was a good deal of course as the cookies were rather big and chewy on the inside BUT was too sweet. OH MY GOD! The sweetness of the cookies made me feel nauseous. Some might not share my opinion of course but this is what happened to me it was TOO sweet which made the taste disgusting. I believe if you have a sweet tooth you'll definitely love it but for me it was not a good experience at all.


The cookies ( when the picture was taken i had already eaten one)

The service : 10/10 (they are sweet persons and warmly welcomed me)
The atmosphere : 10/10
The food : 5/10 (unfortunately only because of the cookies)



This is the outside of the café (the picture was taken at night because i forgot to take the picture of the outside when i went there, it looks so beautiful at night ♥ )



Please note that my opinion is my very own and some of you might not have the same opinion as me, so if you had a good experience there, do comment in the comment section, i'd love to hear about it. And if you have any recommendation, do not hesitate, drop a comment ;)
