I am finally down to blogging about Masego Spa! The Halloween event was held back in late October and I did the complimentary spa treatment two weeks later. If you guys check out my Instagram or Facebook page regularly, you'd know that I also held a giveaway that gave my followers a chance to win tickets to this special Halloween event. 

Once in a lifetime man, I've never attended a Halloween party in my life, much less a spa-themed one. I hope the winners enjoyed themselves as much as I did!

I'll be posting photos of the event, and also photos and a review of my spa session. Massive photo spam ahead, so just feast your eyes on the goodies that Masego Spa has to offer!

"Unlock the third eye..." it says. 

"Drink the potion".

I did. It was apple juice. Meh.

There were all sorts of performances going on inside that were very colourful and vibrant, but not at all scary. Which was a bummer, because I like scary stuff and also I wanted to see Oppa shiver in his pants (he hates horror stuff hahaha).

Free hand paraffin! Of course I did it.

It was super hot my goodness, it felt a lot like dipping your hand into scalding hot water. But it's supposed to be like a treatment for your hands, and my hands did feel smooth and smell good afterwards.

For a moment I thought I was in Madame Tussauds, look at how my hands waxed up!

Guess I'm just not cut out to be a wax figure; they peeled the wax off. Really liked this "hand paraffin" station!

Had cupcakes for mini treats and Oppa had a beer!

With le bestie Zhiyi!

With Pris :)

Photo with some of the giveaway winners!

I thought we did a good job looking scary, eh? Brilliant idea to wear red lipstick.

See this is wrong! Zhiyi & Kevin you two look waaaay too happy here!!!

Horribly fat photo of me but I have to show you guys that we also did ear-candling. For the first time in my life! Quite shiok actually, it didn't hurt and I kinda fell asleep.

These geniuses got themselves called up on stage to take part in games. I swear I didn't "escape" on purpose, but these cuties should've known better than to stand so near to the stage area. LOL

Fun and games aside, guess who won prizes in the lucky draw?

Yours truly of course ~ 

Very very surprising because I don't ever win anything in my life from lucky draws, no luck at all in such competitions. Tough luck mate.

Jem Tan should really stop creeping in other's photos!!!

Kiss as a punishment! 

Thank you Zy and K for being such good sports for the night!

--------------- REVIEW ---------------

Two weeks later!

Bathroom facilities to wash up and shower after massage.

Our couple tent!

First the receptionist made us fill up a form that stated our preferences (soft, medium or hard strength) and led us to the bathroom to change into the robe. Shower cap and lockers are provided! You can also shower after the massage to wash off the oil. Shower gel and towels are available upon request or already inside the bathroom. 

I thought the massage was very thorough - she started on my back, followed by arms, waist, legs (even toes) and when I flipped around, the upper chest, hips and head massage also followed.

Very relaxing and I think all my tensed muscles loosened.

If only I weren't so ticklish. The whole tent was me just trying to snuffle my giggles (I can't help it sorry masseuse!) and Jem laughing at me laughing ._.

Look at our rejuvenated faces after massage. They also served us "chng-tng" and some sort of odd tea. Good service! No facial/spa place I've been has served me dessert before. 

**P.S Zhiyi also went for the session on a different day and she said they served her green bean soup. I guess they change dessert menus quite often. Thumbs up!

Our body massage is worth $68 for a 60-min session. There are also 90-min ($98) and 120-min ($128) sessions available. If you ask me, I say go for it. Worth your money.

Christmas is exactly 25 days away!

I'm sorry for my one month hiatus - was busy with gloomy final essays, projects and assignments. Basically hell month. But it's all bright and sunny now that exams ended two days ago and I'm back to blogging!

I'll be introducing to you guys Medzs' latest Christmas menu today, and I'll start off with the highlight: The Rainbow Log Cake!

If you guys don't already know, Medzs signature rainbow cake was voted the best rainbow cake in town by 8 Days magazine.

I kid you not. Medzs personally delivered their amazing rainbow cake to my home a few months back, and I was sold. You can check out my Instagram post here for more info on the Medzs' Rainbow Cake competition. Though I think it might have ended already. Never mind, you can still follow me for future competitions and updates!

This December, Medzs is back with their Rainbow Log Cake special, just in time for the festive season. The 1.2kg log cake is limited edition, and going for $46.90. What's special about this log cake, you say? Nah, not much, just y'know, it comes with 7 layers of flavoured cream: cream cheese, orange cream, caramel, blueberry, peppermint, chocolate chips and almond. 

And crowning the cake are chocolate ganache and a medley of fresh strawberries and other assorted berries. And every layer is perfectly made so that the sponge is light and cottony.

That was quite a mouthful (pun fully intended). This is your chance to finally try their rainbow cake (if you haven't already, shame on you) and also get an extra oomph from the chocolate kick this Christmas!

You can place your order at any of the three Medzs outlets - telephone numbers at the end of this post!

Let's check out the rest of their christmas menu:

*** File photos are what you can expect to get + portioned food photos from the tasting 

Oven Roasted Crispy Pork Knuckle with Bratwurst ($68 for 1.5kg)

My thoughts: Skin was very crispy! Meat was mildly tasty but quite dry, but the sausages were rather flavourful! The preserved veggies went well with the meat to complete the overall taste.

Oven Roasted Pork Roulade with Provencal Herbs & Confit Garlic ($68 for 1.2kg)

My thoughts: Tasty but was a bit on the salty side. Skin could be crispier!

Mediterranean Spice Infused Whole Turkey with Foie Gras & Chestnut Stuffing ($118 for 4kg)

--- Christmas Signature! ---

My thoughts: I was really looking forward to this because of the foie gras! But the taste wasn't strong enough and was overpowered by the chestnuts. Turkey must be eaten with the cranberry sauce for best effect.

A series of shots with Pearlyn, my +1 for the night! Comments are a combined contribution by Pearlyn and I :)

Other dishes for the night (that are not in the Christmas menu but because we are all greedy bloggers who just had to order from their usual menus):

Seafood paella: the seafood was quite tasteless although the rice was flavourful. 

Truffle Fries: Best dish of the night! So addictive.

Lamb Shank: I only ate the mashed potato and mushrooms because I don't like the taste of lamb. But because of this dish, I found out that lamb refers to the young animal (1 year old and below), while mutton refers to the "old" animal (3 years old and above). Credits to Pearlyn and google.

Duck Confit: Very tender inside with a crispy outside! Yums.

Pork Belly: One of Medzs "must-try". For a good reason.

A very hasty shot with the two PRs for the night. Also, my best group of friends ever. xxx

With Mag!

At last, the highlight of the night:

Stuffed as I was for the night, I couldn't help but enthusiastically tuck into these cakes. So good! The log cake's chocolate was more on the dark side but I liked it. It looks so presentable also, doesn't it. Great for Christmas parties!

The much raved about 7 layers of the rainbow cake could also be tasted. I only wished the chocolate could be more melted for the rainbow cake, that would be so savoury.

Chocolate Pralines: $15.90 for a box of 5. Perfect for Christmas gifts.

There are a lot more dishes and variety in the Medzs Christmas movie, so check them out now by dropping by any Medzs outlet or giving them a call. 

Logging all these into my Christmas food diary now, thank you Santa!
