Tea Chansii | Tropicana City Mall

I just had a cup of bubble tea thanks to someone. These days, we often find ourselves craving for bubble tea from time to time. But most of the time, I restrict myself from buying because it is not exactly very healthy! Good news, the newly-opened Tea Chansii at Tropicana City Mall is said to be the healthier and more delicious alternative to bubble tea! I also love how they came up with so many flavors for their air-popped popcorn because honestly, I hate the original flavor. There were also a few times I had to share it with a few aunties in the elevator and no, I’m not kidding.

First popcorn flavor we got to try was Dried Seaweed thanks to the boss…

Go Google “healthy snacks” and I can ensure you that air-popped popcorn will be in the list because is naturally high in dietary fiber, low in calories and fat!

For those who are sick of the usual popcorn flavors you get from the cinema like myself, do head over to Tea Chansii. The popcorn at Tea Chansii is made from the best corn imported from the United States of America and comes in 7 delicious flavours namely – Original, Caramel, Mexican Chilli, Dried Seaweed, Japanese Curry, Strawberry, and Wasabe with more soon to come. Tea Chansii’s popcorn is made fresh at the central kitchen and delivered daily to the outlets to ensure that the popcorn is crunchy and delicious.

Tea Chansii popcorn is available in two (2) sizes – cup or can, and is priced from RM3.90 for cup and RM10.90 for can.

My favorites are Mexican Chili & Japanese Curry which both in my opinion, tastes like Twisties!

At Tea Chansii, there are 3 types of drinks to choose from–Fruit Tea, Fresh Fruit Juice & Low-Calorie Fruit Vinegar Series

Fruit Tea is strongly believed that consumption of tea is beneficial to health and longevity given its significant antioxidant, flavanols, flavonoids, and polyphenols content. Many quarters also believe that consuming green tea results in a lower risk of diseases such as “stroke, cognitive impairment, and osteoporosis” in the elderly. Tea contains L-theanine, which once consumed delivers a calm but alert and focused, relatively productive mental state in humans.

At Tea Chansii, tea options are aplenty with the Tea Series, Mixed Fruit Tea Series, Fruit Tea Series, and Freshly Brewed Tea Series. Freshly brewed tea variants include the Tar Tar Green Tea, Japanese Style Roasted Tea, and Peach Oolong Tea which are brewed on the spot when the order is placed this ensuring maximum taste and freshness!

The sugar and ice content of all the teas are fully customisable by the customer to suit individual preferences while basil seed, cranberry jelly, peppermint jelly, mango jelly, herbal jelly and/ or aloe vera may be added to the drinks for an additional RM1.00 each.

Fresh Fruit Juice is a really good source of minerals and vitamins which help in activation of enzymes and co-enzymes which work as catalysts in performing millions of chemical reactions which take place on a regular basis inside our body. These enzymes help the human body in digestion of food and absorption of important vitamins and minerals and transformation of food into body tissue and nutrition. Fresh fruit juices are a really good source of these enzymes.

It is important to note that the juice should be fresh to benefit from it and should be consumed with a few hours or at max within the same day. One advantage of drinking fruit juice over eating whole fruits is that there are many nutrients that are trapped within the fiber content of the fruit, however when the juice is processed from that fruit, it breaks the fibers and releases the important nutrients.

The Tea Chansii Fruit Juice Series uses high-quality fresh fruits and is available from RM5.90 for cup and RM6.90 for bottle.

Drinking vinegar is popular for improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure, as it is said that it does thin the blood and cause blood vessels to expand, and for dieting, as it is believed to have the effect of speeding up one’s metabolic rate. It is also a good defence against exhaustion, and there appears to be some effects with regards to improving skin tone and condition therefore it is no surprise that women make up a vast majority of consumers of vinegar drinks. I don’t really fancy vinegar but I tried Stephanie’s and the taste and smell is not as strong.

The Fruit Vinegar Series at Tea Chansii is also low in calories for those who are watching their diets and are priced from RM5.90 for the cup and RM6.90 for the bottle.

I’m was drinking one of the best sellers, British fruit tea that comes together with fresh fruit cubes! Their fruit tea contains the Vitamin C and is great for those who are health conscious.  Yummy and best of all–healthy! Easy to carry around too!

Panna Cotta

It was also my first time eating panna cotta, which is a dessert originating from Italy and is made by simmering together cream, milk and sugar, mixing this with gelatin, and letting it cool until set.

It is generally from the Northern Italian region of Piedmont where it is served with wild berries, caramel, chocolate sauce or fruit coulis, and is eaten all over Italy. After years this traditional dessert has grown in popularity and evolved into what is now a gelatin dessert, flavoured with vanilla and topped with fruit or spices, and served chilled.

Tea Chansii Panna Cotta is made from fresh milk and is available in five (5) irresistible and delicious flavours namely Original, Mango, Cranberry, Peach and Chocolate and is priced at RM5.90 each.

I got to try Mango flavor and I must say the combination makes it alright and not too sweet!

Doing what girls do best!

Mr. Asahi Roadshow | Changkat, Bukit Bintang

Last two weeks, I attended the Mr. Asahi Roadshow at Changkat, Bukit Bintang with all the other MHB girls. If you noticed like how some of my friends, I’ve been updating a lot on Mr. Asahi on my Facebook & Twitter.

So, who is this Mr. Asahi? Mr. Asahi, the world’s first robotic barman, is the brainchild of Japanese brewer Asahi and is capable of serving people in less than two minutes, saving the average person 13 minutes at the bar. Capable of pulling 300ml pints and opening bottles, Mr. Asahi can serve up to 16 half pints or bottles at a time.

Casey, myself & Mr. Asahi!

With 18% of the MHB girls.

Mr. Asahi is on a nationwide tour with a crew comprising of dancers, a DJ and a customized truck that unfolds into a mini party-space where ever he is. Consumers can try the refreshing Asahi draught poured by Mr. Asahi and enjoy the entertainment and games there. Just like how we girls did! So, look out for Mr. Asahi at key entertainment outlets in Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Penang for 30 days beginning April 15, 2012!

Dress is sponsored by Chasseur De Reve. I forgot to bring my memory card out the other night so, pictures are taken from MHB (you can check out their Facebook page for more pictures).

After visiting the Mr. Asahi roadshow we decided to have more Asahi draught therefore we headed to the Bier Bar – next to El Cerdo along Changkat Bukit Bintang. The Bier Bar serves Asahi draught in special towers.

Bell, myself & Casey.

Cheers to the No. 1 Japanese beer in the world and one of the world’s fastest growing premium Asian beers!

A little info–Asahi means Rising Sun. Karakuchi is a unique brewing method using a special yeast strain. The added adjective ‘Super’ is to reinforce the beer’s crispness. Introduced in 1987, Asahi Super Dry, packaged with a metallic exterior/casing, boasts a unique Karakuchi style that is clean, crisp, refreshing with no bitterness.
