Finally I Did It!!! My Graduation Ceremony

This day has marked a memorable day in my life. After few years of hard works, it finally paid off. No more tutorials, lecture notes, mid-terms, assignments and final exams!! *hooray* Finally, I made it. Proudly to announce that, I had finally enrolled to pursue my Degree course in Bachelor of Commerce (Hons) Accounting at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) in Kampar, Perak campus, officially on 16th May 2013. My graduation ceremony was held at Dewan Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik, Kampar, Perak. I felt so proud and lucky because my batch was the first batch of graduates to enroll in this hall.
Special thanks to my family, friends, Mr boyfriend and whoever helped me to complete my Degree course, achieve my dreams and make me to become a better person. The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. :)

Thanks to my housemates for attending my convocation. I miss all of you so much right now. I know it is hard for all of us to reunite again as everyone is busy with their working life after graduated. I hope that one day we can organize a trip and have fun together. 
Enough for the stories. Lets the picture speaks :)

For Dessert Lovers ; Caffè Bene @ Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang

Have been craving for this Bingsu for long time since its grand opening and finally had a chance to try it. My previous post was about food hunting at Chun Cheon Dak Galbi with my friends. After dinner, we planned to have some desserts and yes, we decided to try out the famous Bingsu from Caffè Bene.

Caffè Bene is a newly opened Korean café (yes, you heard it, Korean restaurant again :D ) hitting to the Penang island. It is located on Ground Floor of Gurney Paragon Mall, Penang. It opened on 29th of August 2014. 

Why this café is so famous in Malaysia? Hmmm. I guess probably it is because of the Korean famous artists Kwang Soo (one of the host of the popular Korean show, Running Man) came to Malaysia for the grand opening of Caffè Bene at Sunway Pyramid mall, Kuala Lumpur. Every time when I passed by this café, I saw lots of people queued up for the orders or waiting to be served. And finally, it was my turn to try it. :)


Bingsu is one of the famous desserts at Korea. It is composed of ice shavings, with some toppings or ingredients such as fruits, almond flakes, cereal, hazelnuts, red beans and is topped with ice-cream, yogurt or whipped cream. 

There are 2 types of Bingsu (RM12.80 for small, RM22.80 for large). Caffè Bene specializes in serving Bingsu, waffles, ice-cream, muffins and bread or toast. It is the best to have Bingsu shaved-ice during a hot day.






It has indoor and outdoor dining area but it is not very spacious. Tables and chairs are in wooden style, definitely is another great hanging out spot in Penang.






Different sizes of ice-cream


Gelato Ice-cream *mouth-watering desserts*


Once customers placed their orders, this so-called 'UFO' order machine will be given to customers. When the order is ready to be served, it has the 'beep beep' sound, customers then took this thing to the counter to redeem their desserts. A lot of desserts shop, restaurants or cafes in Malaysia are using this system as well as it is more efficient and systematic.



We’ve ordered their signature Green Tea Bingsu as I heard a lot of good comments that this is the best sellers of the cafe. Haha see, we are matcha lovers, that is no joke. J I love how they present the Green Tea Bingsu, it is green tea flavor shaved-ice, served together with almond flakes and hazelnuts, topped with whipped cream and green tea powder. 

We also ordered the Cookies and Cream Bingsu. It tastes great as there is a Gelato flavored ice-cream under the whipped cream, served together with red beans and orea cookies. I prefer Green Tea Bingsu over Cookies and Cream Bingsu.
