Hot Point: Resturant Review

There's a new bubble tea cafe that just opened in Calgary & they serve individual hotpot! This place is located on Macleod just between world heath and Seoul, the Korean BBQ place.


This is the menu. You just mark what you want on the paper, just like ordering dimsum lol.


The restaurant was was very clean & simple inside. I love simplicity, it makes places look so modern.


Dan deciding what hotpot he should try. In the end he got kimchi flavored and I got milk flavored.


Everything on this menu is pretty cheap, there was dessert for like $3? Bubble tea was $4.50 and the hotpot is only $8.99!!! A very cheap meal!





I got regular milktea with no pearls, Dan got the special. Which was milktea with chocolate drizzle and whip cream.



I thought the art work was pretty interesting. There was so many of these pictures on the wall, and if you start from the back of the restaurant and walk towards the front, it tells a story.


Hunnie buns <3


These are what the individual hot pot look like. So cute right??? lol


Milk flavor hot pot. It had seafood in it, ughh meat and veggies.


Kimchi flavored hot pot. This one had seafood, noodles and veggies.


I can't get over how adorable these look. The proportion was good for one person, unless you don't like to eat much...than just share.



We also order some beef slices too because we thought there was no meat in the soup. & I believe rice comes with all orders.


These are the sauces. They had a sauce station at the side so you could help your self.




Over all, I really like this place, it has so much potential. The food is delicious, the place was trendy and omg so cheap!  This cafe would be a cute first date or a place to just chill with friends. I really do recommend you guys trying it out. =)

DIY: Customize Toms

I've been meaning to post this entry for sometime now & well here it is. =) I made these for Lisa's birthday a few months ago and I thought it was a good idea to make a DIY post.
 

Materials:
Toms
Rhinestones
Glue (E-6000 is recommended)
Nailpolish
Dotting tool
scrap paper
tweezer






So, your gonna wanna glue the rhinestones on the toms. I dipped my rhinestone in glue first than applied them. I only wanted to do the tips so I used the line that was going diagonally on the toms as a guide line.



After that I just took my nail dotting tool, dipped it in silver nail polish and dotted it between each rhinestones. Lol as you can see I messed up on one...Oh well it gives it character. >.0


And TADAH!!! It is done. Enjoy.

Nicki Minaj - Marilyn Monroe






The new it song for the month on July. =)

Battery Drama

SO...I left my camera charger in Vegas. & you know what's the part that annoyed my the most? I double, no tripled check to see if I was missing anything. Lol I felt pretty darn good when I left Vegas. That is, until I need to charge my camera when I got back to Calgary. I wasn't panicking at the time because I thought to myself, I can just get another one easily.  I'll just go to a camera store and buy it. NO WHERE! & I literally mean NO WHERE sells a charger for the Nikon 1. Not even at Battery World. FML.So, I've been meaning to buy a new charger from ebay but, for some reason keep buying other stuff lol. Anyway, so much for never taking iphone pictures again for my blog. So, I do apologize in advance for any shitty picture quality. =)  

Vegas Haul

I'm finally posting my Vegas haul!!! I know it's a very superficial thing to do, but hey! Girls like seeing what other girls buy lol.


I went to M&M world and bought my BFF a stuffed green M&M and a bag of purple M&Ms lol. The green ones were for my manager because it was his birthday.

How dope are these wedges??? I had to have them. Funny story, I saw these at the Fashion mall and my BF told me to wait because we were gonna go to the premium outlet. I asked the sales associate if I could put them on hold for me. He asked me for how long, I said till tomorrow close and do you know what that jerk said?! I can't unless you give me some sort of down payment!!! For a pair of $60 shoes!!! Like get real dude! I was so angry, I left. Lol the next day I made Dan get it for me because I refused to walk in that store. 

OMG! Topshop at the Fashion mall was AMAZING! It was so huge, I didn't know where to begin. Anyways I got these sick hidden wedge sneakers there. I can't remember how much they were but I really did need them in my life. I can wear these when Dan wears his high tops now =).

I found these pair of Sam Edelman heels at Nordstrom. I love shopping at Nordstrom, every time I'm in the states, I have to stop my a Nordstrom, if its a Nordstrom Rack, even better! They have so much designer stuff at really good prices! So pretty much, it's like a Winners here in Canada but better because, lets face it, shopping at Winners is a joke. Anyways I think I got these for $70 and the Bay had them for $180? Best purchase ever! These heels are so comfy.

Dan had to buy something at True Religion lol. I thought buying them in Calgary was way cheaper.

Found a pair of cute Converse that doesn't make my feet look huge.


Dan got a pair of Okleys for his brother.

These are my all time favorite pair of shorts at the moment. It was from Seven and my goodness, these shorts are one pair of sexy shorts. The distress in them shows my bare skin underneath lol.

Got a James Perse blouse and a pair of Citizens of Humanity denim. Both so comfy to wear.



Got 2 pairs of Christian Dior sunnies. The 2nd one was for my other manager because she bought me my Micheal Kors handbag. These sunnies look so good on her I'm jealous because when I tried it on, it feel off my face. I didn't have a big enough nose to hold up the sunnies.

Got this beautiful watch for my cousin Linda, it was her birthday on the 2nd. So pretty! Got so much compliment just for buying it lol.

I think this was Dan favorite purchase yet lol. He finally found a new Movado timepiece. I think his old need to take a break lol. He wasn't sure if he wanted to spend so much money on a watch down there because of customs, I convinced him other wise. Lol I just love watches, it the ultimate statement jewelry. Dan also bought a pair of sneaker down in Vegas and a pair of Diamond + Crooks & Castle t's that I didn't that a picture of.

Well that's it. I didn't think we bought that much stuff honestly lol. We brought so much money and that money pretty much went to food and alcoholic slushies lol.

Las Vegas: Part 2

Here is the rest of my Vacation Pictures. I sorta wish I took more interesting pictures lol.

Day 2:

I remember we had to walk to the Wynn side of the hotel and than cut through the Palazzo hotel, every time we wanted to walk the strip because it was a "short cut"...it wasn't lol. Walking outside of the hotels is so much faster to get to places. It would only take me like 5mins to walk a block on the strip but it is so much hotter! Weather there was like +40!!! Anyways, no one would want to walk in the heat for long, so we decided to cut through each hotel lol...which would be a 30min detour just to gain a block on the strip lol.


The Wynn had a path that was covered with  gorgeous tree decorations. The trees had balls of flowers hanging from the branches! So pretty!!! At night time the scenery was even more breath taking.



 We decided to stop by the Bellagio to play slots. I putted in a 20 and won $20!!! Than I lost the $20 lol and ended with what I started with...I NEVER WIN ANYTHING! Dan on the other hand, putted a 20 in and won $60!!! Than Lost $20 lol.


I LOVE Vegas!!! All the slushies have alcohal in them! After I got mine, the boys found a slush bar in the Caesars Palace that has cool cups.




 Lol the cups looked like bongs.


 Lol this is sorta random but look how fricken AMAZING H&M looks at the Forum Shops!!! So big! So colorful!! So much more crap that we don't have!

After checking some of the store, there was a short show playing in the middle of the Forum Shops.


The play was pretty intense, there was fire and water shooting everywhere! After walking around the Forum Shop mall, everyone headed back to the hotel to get ready for EDC. Me and Dan weren't doing so we decided to do some more shopping at the Fashion Show mall...the malls there have confusing mall names lol. After some shopping, we went to a Italian restaurant that was connected to the mall.


Dan bought that shirt at the Nike store lol.


We got onion strips for appetizer, we thought it would come out like onion rings...but long strips instead of circles lol.


I got a pasta that has lobster, snap peas and bacon. OMG!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FRICKEN DELICIOUS!


And Dan got chicken, his dish was good too...but mine was way better lol.


I packed up my pasta because I couldn't finish my plate because...well it was fricken huge! Lol omg, stupidest idea ever, we had no microwave in the hotel room to heat it up and we had no eating utensils. Lol I started to use 2 straws as chopsticks.


Lol, at night time every block you walk on the strip, there are so many people handing out escort cards. I was collecting them like pokemon cards lol.


Tehehe, we bought a few bags of spicy cheetos to bring back home because Canada doesn't sell them.

Day 3:

Sandy & Kevin were craving Asian food, so we checked out this resturant called Red at the Wynn.






Thai Tea. It sorta taste like a very sweet milk tea.


Sandy order some chicken feet, which I'm not very fond of because all it is...is skin lol. Anyways, I took a picture of it because the feet were so fat, compared to what I normally see at dim sum and they only serve 3.  Everyone said it tasted really good lol.


I got wonton noodle soup. It wasn't bad, it was pretty good but needed more seasoning. After eating me, Dan & Ryan were craving slushies!!! We went to Lime Ice Frozen Bar in the Palazzo.




LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT CUP! I took a picture on my instagram (xohuynh) with it and it was almost the same height as me lol. Ryan got the Pink Panther flavor.



I don't remember what Dan got but it tasted like strawberries and it was good! I swear that was fill with mostly vodka. If you saw that girl pour the vodka in....she pretty musch used the whole bottle of grey goose lol.


Everyone went to the 2nd night of EDC. I was a little sad that I couldn't go to EDC this year but I'm also so glad that I didn't go this year because it got shut down on Saturday due to crazy wind lol. Me and Dan are planning on going in 2 years though, so if anyone wants to come, start saving up!!! VIP tickets are $500.

Day 4:

We got tickets to go watch  Mystere Cirque Du Soleil. Here is a tip for you guys, don't buy tickets in advance, go to one of the 1/2 price ticket stores on the strips. We got our tickets for $73 each! And that was only half price!!! we also got really good seats too!


The show was really good! I never seen the Cirque Du Soleil shows that comes to Calgary every year so I was super excited to watch one in Vegas. I heard the Calgary show is embarrassing compared to a Vegas show.



I was craving some burgers, so we tried out a burger joint in Treasure Island.


The burgers were HUMUNGOUS!


To add bacon to our burgers, it was $4.50 extra!!!!?

I tried to finish my plate, I really did!!! Best $50 burger meal ever!


Public intoxication is allowed in Vegas lol.

This is out hotel casino entrance. 









See, I told you everything at night is pretty!

Day 5:

Check out time. 


It was time to check out of our hotel but our plane wasn't till 9:30pm. So we left out luggage's at the bell desk & spent the last day walking the rest of the Vegas strip.



This is the cab line. There was fans above us spraying mist. Our plan was to take a cab to the MGM hotel and start walking along the strip from there.



Sorry for the blurry picture, I was walking while taking it lol.


Tehehe, thought this was too funny.


Panda Express!!!


Stopped and check out the M&M store. 4 floors of M&M heaven!




I got purple M&M's for my BFF and green M&M's for my manager's birthday.









HALO

The Coca-cola store! My favorite pop.







I love retro stuff! I dunno why but it makes me super happy to see stuff from the past.



We tried out the Around the World Tray. This is how the trays looked.





The Sunfill Mint from Djibouti tasted like mouth wash. =/ Pop shouldn't taste like that.


The Beverly drink from Italy was the grossest! The clear one is the one I'm talking about, it was so gross!!! I dunno how people on Italy can drink that willingly lol. I can't even describe how disgusting it taste lol.



Sunfill Mint & Bervrly was the 2 most grossest drink on the tray lol. The 2 best tasting drink were both from China, Smart Apple and Smart Watermelon. They both taste like carbonated juice. After all that tasting, the original Coca-cola flavor is still my favorite.


There coke machines are touch screen!!! & when you select it, the bottle becomes big and you can spin it and read the labels on the bottle! So high tech!



The Famous Coca-Cola polar bears!



LOL.






A show was being filmed, while we were walking to Cosmopolitan Hotel. The Hotel was so pretty! There was strings of crystals hanging from the ceiling and wrapping around the bar.










I love Las Vegas! All the decorations are extreme!


At the Caesar Palace Form Shops again. This curved escalator is so amazing.



Last meal in Vegas. Everyone decided to give Asian food a try again.



The sushi was pretty yummy.




But to be honest, everything else was a let down lol.


After dinner we got out luggage's and headed to the airport back to Calgary. I had fun in Vegas for my first time, but I wish I got to do more things there like go to strip club, pool parties, try out the famous koi restaurant and see more shows! Oh well, like I said me and Dan are planning on coming back again in 2 years, I hope I get a chance to do everything than!
