Street Churros: Spanish Churro with A Twist @ MyTOWN Shopping Centre, Cheras

The tale of Street Churros all begins with the hype about street food in Korea. Imagine snacking on the sweet, crisp crunchy churro while shopping along the beauty haven of Myeongdong? That sounds like a great idea!

Now, this famous street snack is here in Malaysia – with several outlets at 1 Utama Shopping Mall, IOI City Mall, Berjaya Times Square, Sky Avenue Genting Highlands, MyTown Cheras, and more to come.

Street Churros’ Menu

As we start seeing Street Churros kiosk popping out everywhere in town, there is no way we don’t give it a try right? So we are here at Street Churros outlet in MyTown Shopping Centre, Cheras. This relatively new mall is located in the heart of Cheras, and it’s linked to the biggest IKEA in Malaysia.

For an elevated street food experience, Street Churros’ menu features a wide variety of churros and in fact, first timers would have a hard time choosing what they want because they are spoilt with choices.

You can have the most classic churro coated with sugar, or have it with ice cream or chocolate dip, or even better, fill your churros with chocolate, green tea and more. Enjoy your churros creatively, entirely in your own way!

Always hand-crafted and made-to-order, the churro here is made of fresh dough using traditional Spanish churro recipe. And it is only fried upon order; No re-frying is allowed to ensure the top notch quality food.

Then every churro is added with a twist to give us that “wow” when we bite into our churros.

Street Churros @ RM5.90

Coating: Cinnamon / Chocolate / Cheese 

Dipping (+RM1.90): Chocolate / Cream Cheese / Butterscotch / Blueberry

Set A (+RM6): Add-on latte

The No.1 bestseller is the Street Churro -- a horseshoe-shaped churro which is a symbol of good luck and protection in Spain. For those with sweet tooth, you should try the Cinnamon and Chocolate churro.

Whereas, for those who prefer something savoury, it is best to enjoy the churro

beautifully coated with the finely-powdered cheese. Delicious!

Filling Churros @ RM7.90

Coating: Chocolate / Custard / Cream Cheese

Set B (+RM6): Add-on latte

I personally feel that the Filling Churro is more enjoyable as the creamy filling melts in the mouth as we bite through the crisp piping hot churro. Again, my favourite is the lightly Cream Cheese filled churro, which is slightly more savoury but not overpowering. Good to try even if you may not be a fan of cheese.

Stick Churros (6 sticks) @ RM9.90

*Can choose up to 2 flavours

Coating: Cinnamon / Chocolate / Cheese 

Dipping (+RM1.90): Chocolate / Cream Cheese / Butterscotch / Blueberry

Set C (+RM6): Add-on latte

Well, if you want to try more flavours, then the Stick Churros allow you to mix and match
two different coated churros. Great portion for sharing if you can't finish one on your own.

Churro Fries @ RM7.90

Flavours: Seaweed, Tomato, Sour Cream and Onion

Something interesting I found on the menu is the new Churro Fries, coated with 3 different types of seasonings. All of them are rather savoury and nice to chew if you enjoy the biting pleasure. Unlike the usual French fries, it does not turn soggy even after being left on the table for a while. 

Ice Cream Churros @ RM7.90

Topping (+RM1): Mango / Choco Choco / Choco Berry

When it comes to dessert, hot and cold combination always wins our heart. Dipping the freshly-made hot churro into the vanilla soft serve gives a satisfying cooling sensation without overwhelming the lovely crispiness from the churro. However, I find that toppings such as Mango, Choco Choco and Choco Berry are rather too sweet for my liking.

One of the best-selling Ice Cream Churros -- Choco Berry


O'My Coconut / O'My Mango @ RM9.90

We love the crispy, sweet crunch of the churro and its magical combination of salty and sweet flavours that wow us. It tastes even better when paired with the signature milkshakes here -- Try the O'My Coconut for a creamy sweet concoction of coconut flakes and milk.

Fruit Ade @ RM7.90

Lemon / Passionfruit / Korean Citron

Recommended for those who prefer fun and fresh flavours.

Non-Coffee Beverages @ RM7.90 (Hot) / RM8.90 (Iced)

Green Tea / Chocolate / Milk Tea

Among the variety of latte, Green Tea Latte is highly recommended too.

Life is short, enjoy every bite. 

If you are feeling peckish, just grab a Churro here and then continue your shopping!

[GIVEAWAY] DISNEY'S PRINCESS Elena of Avalor Debuts on ASTRO Disney Channel!

Disney’s newest crown princess, Elena of Avalor, will make her royal debut on Astro Disney Channel (Astro Ch 615) this 13 November! Are you excited about it?

Set in the enchanted fairytale land of Avalor, the series tells the story of Elena, a brave and adventurous teenager who has saved her kingdom from an evil sorceress and must now learn to rule as crown princess until she is old enough to be queen. Elena's journey will lead her to understand that her new role requires thoughtfulness, resilience and compassion, the traits of all truly great leaders.

The highly-anticipated series features original music in each episode, including Elena’s anthem “My Time”, a powerful song of empowerment and self-belief, which has been localized in Bahasa Malaysia and brought to life by popular singer Elizabeth Tan in a music video that will entertain Disney Channel audiences from 1 November.

Apart from Bahasa Malaysia, Disney Channel has also localized the song in Bahasa Indonesia, performed by Indonesian singer Chilla Kiana.

Elena is not a typical Princess; she fought an evil sorceress and saved her kingdom at the tender age of 16. Then she becomes the Crown Princess of Avalor and rules with guidance from the Grand Council.

Adventurous, decisive, fearless in standing up for herself and others, Elena is a wonderful role model for her little sister Princess Isabel, a devoted granddaughter to her grandparents, and loyal companion to best friend Naomi, wizard-in- training Mateo and Royal Guard Gabe.

[Review + Giveaway] Body Buddy ALOEVERA Moisture Skincare

When it comes to treating my dry skin, I am constantly seeking for new solutions to boost the skin moisture level from within and slowly improve the overall complexion. This time, I decide to try Body Buddy Aloe Vera moisturizing series made in Korea.

Body Buddy skincare products are manufactured by Welcos (www.welcos.com) from Korea. Welcos is one of Korea's top 3 manufacturer that produces top quality beauty and skincare products and the Aloe Vera series is among the many Welcos products available in Malaysia under the Body Buddy brand name. So when you see Body Buddy, you are guaranteed it's made in Korea!

For this Aloe Vera moisture series, it is made of 98% Aloe Vera extract base, so I'd expect it to be punch packed with moisturizing and soothing properties.

Like many natural products, it is free from 6 harmful elements for our skin including Silicone, Benzophenone, Paraben, Mineral Oil, Sulphate and Pigments. Without these chemicals, it suits even the most sensitive type of skin.

Why is Aloe Vera so popular in the making of skincare? Actually, it is a cactus plant that has been widely used medicinally for centuries. Since it can stand such long hours of heat, surely it has very high moisturizing benefits to soothe skin and prevent flaking.

Hence, it is not only used for the face, but also for every part from head to toe! It can survive in tropical climates with only small amounts of water as it packs a lot of moisture in the form of gel at its leaves.

ALOEVERA Moisture Real Cleansing Foam (100g) @ RM27.90

I begin my aloe skincare regime with the Cleansing Foam that comes in a tube. Apart from its hydrating, soothing, rejuvenating and anti-bacterial benefits, it helps remove sebum and impurities hidden in pores thoroughly.

HOW TO USE: Lather with water til foamy and softly rub on face to cleanse, then remove with water gently.

Once squeezed out, the cream is thick but foams up well when mixed with water. Although the foam is not as thick as I'd thought, its small particle size is able to reach the stubborn pores for deep cleansing.

It feels very mild and gentle on skin, and the cleansing effect is light too,
so remember to remove the makeup thoroughly first ya.


ALOEVERA Moisture Real Soothing Gel Mist (150g) @ RM29.90

The bare face may feel slightly tight after cleansing, but no worries, few sprays of the gel mist will soothe, soften and moisten the skin. In fact, it can be used on face, body and even hair.

HOW TO USE: Spray suitable amount directly on dry part of the face, body and hair for direct moisture.

Looking at its name, I thought it would have a gel consistency but apparently it is a mist,
so do expect it to be lightweight like liquid with very pleasant aroma of aloe vera.

Once sprayed onto the face, it gives a cooling sensation that "freshens" me up immediately. The soothing effect is very good at calming the skin and reducing redness especially for sensitive skin. Plus, the T-zone will feel less oily after that.

ALOEVERA Moisture Real Soothing Gel (150g) @ RM18.90

But the star product of Body Buddy is surely the famous Korean soothing gel. Also available in tub packaging, I appreciate that it comes in a tube which is more hygienic and convenient as I can easily squeeze any amount I desire.

HOW TO USE: Apply onto face, body and hair anytime anywhere you want.

The best part is, it is a multipurpose gel that bring various benefits:

             1. As eye mask, to reduce dark circles

             2. Cure insect bites and stop itchiness

             3. Cool face mask, by storing it in the fridge before use

             4. Apply in gloves and socks for intense moisture lock

             5. Heal sunburns

             6. Mix with natural oils for moist balance

             7. As makeup base, by mixing gel with foundation/BB cream at 2:1 ratio

             8. As hair gel, especially on split ends

Personally, I prefer slapping on a thick layer of gel onto the skin as a soothing mask. I am surprised with its moisturizing and smoothing effect that leaves my skin more plump and softer after a mere 20 minutes. Highly recommended!

Overall, it is ideal for those who wanna enjoy all the soothing and moisturizing benefits

by having only one same product for the face, body and hair.

[GIVEAWAY TIME] Good news for you guys!

Courtesy to Body Buddy, one lucky winner will walk away with:  

1 tub of ALOEVERA Moisture Real Soothing Gel (Tub 500ml)

+

1 box of ALOEVERA Moisture Real Mask (10 pieces)
worth RM100 in total.
