Sebrinah Yeo November 21, 2018 0

On 28th October 2018, we were embraced with Ms Ginnie Lam's humble presence during the press conference and participation call search of Ginn Fairy Queen International Beauty Pageant (Korea) held at Coffee & Tea Expo in Mid Valley Main Exhibition Hall.

Ginn International has participated in and organized multiple Cultural Showcases both in South Korea and abroad and since 2017, they have been working with the Federation of Arts & Culture Organizations of Korea (FACO) alongside with Ms. Ginnie Lam the founder of Ginn International and the International Ambassador of the Senior Model Association of Korea (an association under FACO) and in lieu of that, this year 2018 features the theme of the traditional Hanbok Fashion Runway shows.

Hence with today's event, the highlight showcases the beautiful Ms Ginnie Lam and her big heart of generosity to inspire more people to be a part of her commitment in promoting arts & culture as its core mission to bring the eyes of the world upon South Korea's multi-faceted cultural elements and artistic excellence; by announcing the upcoming and first-ever International Beauty Pageant to be held in Korea that will be held on 25th May 2019, and will witness Pageant Participants from Malaysia, China (including the SAR of HK), and South Korea itself.

We went for a quick walkabout tour with the beautiful Ms Ginnie Lam, the official Ambassador of Coffee & Tea Expo and her entourage of Beauty Pageant finalists visiting and showing support to participating vendors at Coffee & Tea Expo.

Her presence was warmly welcomed by the participating vendors as many has heard of and has known of Ms Ginnie's great efforts throughout the industry.

Ginn International also announced its collaboration with Star Brand Awards International program, where they dedicate to connect South Korea's best lifestyle brands with the Digital Influencers; communities within South East Asia and the Asia Pacific. This is reflected in Ginn International's dedication to working closely with local bloggers, social media influencers, and even national beauty pageant champions in its commercial activities such as through Expos and Trade Fairs.

On the day of the press conference, the founder of Waffle Waffle, also gave his appreciation to Ms Ginnie Lam and her support in their efforts to empowering more people (specifically the Single Moms) to be taught how to bake or steam buns to sell and make a decent living. Some are even donated to charity organisations. But through efforts such as this that makes the world a better place to live in!

The steam buns by Waffle Waffle is pretty good too, the recipe is really of quality and to empower it to those who needs this to make a living with is really inspirational!

Ms Ginnie Lam continues to travel across the SouthEast Asia Pacific ocean to places to reach out and connect with the people and to inspire and touch the hearts of many through her efforts to empower many to discover their best self. Ginn International's series of Press Conference & Participation Call continues with the next stop in Guangzhou, China on 2nd November 2018, and thereafter in South Korea on 13th December 2018.

And don't forget to bookmark this auspicious date on the 25th May 2019 for the first-ever Ginn Fairy Queen International Beauty Pageant Finals, in Seoul (South Korea). That's not all, in conjunction with the Grand Gala, the Star Brand Awards International Grand Ceremony will be held in recognition of the 10 top Korean Brands and 10 top Digital Influencers from all across South East Asia and the Asia Pacific.

Family Fun at One Utama on a Saturday!

South Korea

Had a long day today with the family! Brought my mother-in-law & my mom (my mom's birthday today too) to One Utama Shopping Centre in Damansara with my husband and kids.

We came to visit my friend, Carmen, at her "Tea Depot" booth at the Malaysia Coffee Fest event happening this weekend, it was so crowded; But I got to enjoy some really unique tea tasting and also indulge in the aroma of the fragrant coffee scents surrounding me. Also, it has been years since coming to this mall; So we just had to go and have a peek at the 2 interesting attractions here, the FlowRider and the AirRider. Both of which I won't dare to try, I don't mind just watching.

Then there was this cute lil GSC popcorn mascot walking around with free popcorns to giveaway. Apparently today was GSC Cinemas, Ticket to drive 2 on-ground Finale! I didn't stay to watch the on-ground challenge to see who will WIN the Grand Prize of an X-Trail and an Almera, I went on from noon till night, as I was about to leave they just ended the event. And I found out that, this was a continuation of the Ticket to drive event held last year. It is like a 1 year long on-going campaign that led to today's finale! How did they get so lucky!! Buy tickets to watch movie also can win big! Awesome!

Many of my friends on Facebook, knows that I've been wanting to try Honzu since I saw its cute video advert. And finally today I had my first taste of it! I like the variety that they offered, it's like savoury bakeries, where you get to pick Matcha flavoured to Raspberry to Chocolates. If you Buy 5, you can get Free 1 too! I bought 3 only and kinda regretted it. Because my eldest son helped me finished it!!!! I bought Raspberry croissant, Cherry Lover croissant and Original croissant. It's like having a crunchy sweet dessert on-the-go.

And also just yesterday after reading reviews and posts from friends on Isaac Toast and Coffee which is now opened in One Utama Shopping Mall, I just had to come by and satisfy my curiousity of this famous chain from South Korea! I had to find out what's so special with this "sandwich"? It may seem quite pricey but it's good for a first-time-in-your-life-try-something-new. It's not like you're gonna eat it daily. It's a great snack to munch on. My kids love it. My husband says it's unique. My mom and MIL says it's unique and sweet.

I ordered the combo RM20, a Chicken Bacon Cheese Special with a Yuja Ade drink. The drink is citron in soda, a little bittersweet because the citron is like the child to the marriage of orange & lemon. The Chicken Bacon Cheese Special is unique because it's bread is thick and it tastes like honey buttered egg toast, similar to French toast; The chicken bacon is really yummy like bacon but over here it is "No Pork & No Lard"; The cheese is parmesan I guess, at first I thought it was Cheddar but I couldn't taste the Cheddar taste. In fact you can't really taste the cheese, you can see it in its orange hue.

What is unique is the combination! Not the chicken bacon and cheese! But it has shredded cabbages inside with sliced radish that's already pre-marinated in vinegar, and the egg has corns in it! So it makes the whole toasts naturally honey sweet and flavorful. With each bite the flavours change a little, sometimes more cabbage, sometimes with the radish, sometimes the sweet egg with corn and sometimes the buttery toast that is honey sweet. Good try! Finally I get to taste this! Overall it's good for a once in a lifetime experience! If I'm back again I won't mind trying the Kimchi Bacon Special!
