Taipei, Taiwan: Hello Kitty Sweets

It was still too early to go to the night market so we decided to go to Hello Kitty Sweets, the Hello Kitty Cafe of Taiwan!! I think they renamed it to Hello Kitty Kitchen and Dining or something like that though. It was my top to do activity. 

Address: 大安路一段90号

It is about a five minute walk from Zhongxiao Fuxing Station (Exit 3).

If you're dining in, there is a NT$300 per person plus a 10% service charge. Online they say they accept Visa and Mastercard, but they only allowed me to pay with cash...

Basically everything was decked out in Hello Kitty...napkins, coasters, business card, table mat, etc.

Ordered the Kitty Oreo Cheese Pie with Pudding Milk Tea (NT$300). It's not the prettiest one, but I think it suited my taste best compared to everything else. It tasted mediocre..I was expecting worse. I couldn't finish it though and it was a bit on the sour side, which the waitress informed me of.

Complimentary pudding of some sort.

 The Pudding Bubble Tea was actually pretty gross haha... I mean, I never had a pudding one before, so I guess it was also my mistake for ordering it. My friend had a fruit juice, which was pretty good. They drink was complimentary with the order, but only starred ones on the menu are.

Friend got the Kitty Brulee

Upstairs. There were two floors.

Because I'm a weirdo, here are pictures of the bathroom. It's a pretty cute bathroom though...

Even the toilet is Hello Kitty themed hahaha

Overall, it is overpriced for mediocre food. It wasn't terrible though. They also have real food, not just dessert, but we didn't have any so I can't comment on that. It was worth it for the experience. 

Dang, I just realize it's been a month already, so I'm falling behind on my posts :( But I swear it's been busy..so until next time!! Upcoming post should be on Shilin Nightmarket :)

Black Friday Shopping Pt. 2

Here's part two of Black Friday. Took a while, but yeah...

Theory: Juin | Rue21: Hello Kitty Tee

Theory was giving out gifts for the first hundred purchases. Women get a tee and men got either a tie or a bow. It's appalling that the shirt retails for $75...it's really soft though @__@ I also bought a matching shirt with a friend, who tagged along. 

Our last stop at the outlets was Swarovski. I came out with two things thanks to the wonderful boyfriend<333

Hello Kitty Pink Bow Necklace

We left at 5:00 to go to Best Buy. I bought a laptop for my dad. Mine is being sent in for repairs right now...I wish I could just steal his laptop lol. Target was also across the plaza, so I dropped by because I had some things I wanted to pick up. I went earlier that night at 9:00PM, but they weren't open until 1:00AM. -__-

Target buys:

I admit that half of this is just guilty spending, but the gift tags/stickers are ADORABLE. I would buy more except I don't think I'll ever get to use them. Or even bear to use them.

Last stop: iHop

By the time we left iHop, I was starting to crash.. it was around 7:30AM and I guess I just got so tired I was falling asleep in the car xD I got home about an hour later, went to sleep and woke up at 4:30PM.

Here are some bonus photos:

 I thought this polish was pretty cool.. I took the brush out and couldn't really tell how it worked though, but I Google imaged it and it's supposed to do like a marble effect? This is from Rue 21.

Stuff I tried on but didn't purchase.
1) Theory Nichele (navy) - this one actually came in my size :T But I didn't want navy just yet...sigh
2) Ann Taylor shirt - I thought of getting it but ultimately it was sorta plain and I had something similar.
3) Anna Taylor blazer - Good thing I didn't buy it... I know nothing about the fit of blazers, but it was just so boxy so I couldn't bear to buy it. I might've if I didn't find anything at Theory just because I didn't know any better.

Collection of Hauls!

My Sephora order came! I got a moisturizer for the bf and got myself a tokidoki perfume in Adieu. It's a very sweet smell, which I absolutely adore! I have all the mini-sized roller and this one is my favorite, so I decided to order it in full size.

There was a coupon for a Versace perfume which I got because it looked so cute LOL tbh, I don't even know what it smells like but it's so pretty! It's smaller than the size of a nail polish bottle. I also tried the Billionaire Boyfriend perfume and I didn't really like it. I tend to like light, sweet, or fruity sorts of perfume.

I was nearby this food court where I usually get random gachapons if they're cute (Winnie the Pooh, Hello Kitty...) I usually only get one from each collection, but when I saw these, I just HAD to get them all! I remember Pauline's (omgnoodles) post on her's recently, so it's such a coincidence! Mine are the newer ones with the erasers..I'd much rather get phone charms!

I actually only took 11 tries for all 7 colors :x I honestly think that's pretty good. For extras, I got pink (2), yellow, and red. I gave two of them away to friends. These will be going on display on my bookshelf! :)

I also went to a store and I found a Domo letter pad :) I collect stationary and would occasionally write to penpals, but not so much for the past year because they disappeared on me :T But if I ever saw cute stationary, I wouldn't pass on it :P

I ordered more Swarovski beads.. I got into them around December but never really made much. They're soo cute >__< I think I like buying them more than actually using them LOL

Okayy to end things, I dropped by Walgreens today to look for Sinful colors nail polish because they just came out with a few new colors and they're on sale for 99 cents. Unfortunately that Walgreens doesn't carry them anymore and there were only random ones here and there. 

And to my surprise I found the Essie nail polish that I've searched all over for!! I never thought of looking at Walgreens because I didn't know that they carried Essie, but yay! I also picked up a shimmery red and orange.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

I had a pretty good Valentine's Day this year with the bf :)

He gave me roses in the morning :D I had to lug it to school though and it wouldn't fit in my locker >__< It was just sorta embarrassing to walk around with a huge bouquet of flowers.

As one of our school's fundraising, one of the clubs sold carnations where you send it to each other. 

After this meeting I had, my bf went to Restaurant Dante for our date! :) They had a 'Perfect Date' dinner thing, where it consisted of four courses.

They served us bread in the beginning..it was plain and cold. 

Smooch: A cute little couple; We both got this shrimp cocktail. Can't really go wrong with it 

Foreplay: pillows and canoodling noodles; Pillows are the ravioli..it was okay because it was very warm. I got the noodles, which didn't taste that bad.

Climax: Italiano and love bird; Bf got the Italiano, which is beef tenderloin. The didn't ask him how he wanted it cooked, but it was way too rare and for some reason half of it had some disgusting taste. He didn't like it. I got love bird, which is a chicken scaloppini. It wasn't bad...but at the very last piece I found hair on it EWWW! The server didn't even do anything about it when we told him about it -___-

Spooning cake for two; The first one didn't taste that good because it was drenched in vodka :\ and the second one was okay except the chocolate they drowned it in was very, very, very bitter so it was kinda gross :\

Before we left, I accidentally elbowed my glass of water and...whooops..

The coat boy gave me a rose before we left :D Which I thought was very sweet. Obviously it was from the restaurant, but still xD

Overall we'd rate this restaurant a 2/5 because the food didn't taste that good and it was very expensive too. They were served in very small portions as well...plus nobody did anything about the hair in my food -__- There was a lot of wait time between each course and when the food came out it was warm most of the time....

What the bf got me :)

I've been wanting this Hello Kitty perfume for a while and I always complain to him about it :x Not only is the bottle super cute, but it smells nice too! Not too strong..I haven't worn it yet, but I hope it's something I'll grow onto. When I smelled it again today, I wasn't so sure as to whether it's a keeper or not..but it seemed like it when I first smelled it.

Ughhh tbh, I was actually super unprepared for Valentine's Day so I didn't really do much for my boyfriend :\ He pretty much planned the whole day while I was just there :T I actually had things I wanted to do for him, but none of them worked out, so I promised him like a "Valentine's Day 2.0" on a random day to surprise him, so hope that turns well!
