Blueberry Cheese Cake










I ordered a blender & mixer set from Amazon last week, finally got it yesterday. So be prepared to see more cooking posts hehe :P The first thing I made was a blueberry cheese cake. It was my first attempt and I got to say that it wasn't bad at all. You can't really mess up a cheese cake though, haha. 
I hope you all a nice Easter break <3 

I followed this recipe, so go check it out: http://goo.gl/pfqYp

Thank you Dior and Harrods for this amazing exhibition! <3

Afternoon Tea at Sketch





















My lovely friend Sara, introduced me to this bizarrely awesome cafe/restaurant/lounge/gallery called Sketch! It's a building Afternoon tea is opened until 2:30pm and restaurant & lounge are open at 7:00pm(I recommend you to make a reservation before hand) I really enjoy the desserts and their large selection of teas. 

The interior decoration is beyond amazing and so inspiring, it's none of what you've ever seen before. Personally, I think the concept is about gather different things and make them work unexpectedly great together. Almost every piece they got on show made me go "What the hell is that??" And wanted to stare at it a bit longer. It made me feel like I was eating in a very twisted story book. It will bring you back to those childhood days, where you once imagined too many times that you were in a place like that. I honestly think I fell in love with that bizarrely awesome place. 

Oh, how could I forget! The most eye-catching of all is the toilet. How? If you looked at the photo above you will probably get the grip. The toilet is located right above the lounge area, it's an open space and doesn't divide the women/men sides. What you do is you go into one of the egg-looking toilets and do your business. How it's like inside you say? I don't want to spoil the experience for you now, but it's very exciting. Yes, I admit that it was a bit weird and over-the-top, but it's all about the experience.

I hope you all give this place a try! You wont regret it :) 

Have a nice weekend <3

Light Show











I visited the South Bank Centre for the Light Show exhibition at the Hayward Gallery today. I'm sure that it is well-known to all art lovers out there. For those who don't know, it's a show case that gathers all light sculptures and installations from 22 different artists. I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend anyone who are in London to come. It's even great for little kids! It would make a total perfect family outing. Unfortunately you can't take photos in there, so I hope a picture of the gallery's main entrance does it! Sorry!

My favourite is a work by Carlos Cruz-Diez. The way he combines light and colours then turned them into something so beautiful, it's just amazing. I felt like I was in a wonderland, like a kid again. Sorry, I'm giving pretty naive feedback here but I don't know how else to explain it. Diez's piece was also a famous kid's attraction of the exhibition so I guess it's forgivable to make a naive statement? Haha. One of the best parts of exhibition is the gift store, they sell quirky cute things, from books about light to bizarre looking lamps. Some items can be overpriced, but they are still fun to check out!

Due to it's high popularity, you are required to do a booking before hand. You can do this by going on the South Bank Centre's website and search for the Light Show(It should be on the main page). I would recommend you picking up your ticket at the venue instead of choosing for them to send it home , since it's not guaranteed to be arriving on time for your visit. The show starts from 30th January-6th May, so you'd have plenty of time to go with different groups of friends and pay an extra round visit if you like. If any of you decided to go, you can upload your photos on Instagram and hashtag "animuax"​ I'd love to check them out! :D

I hope you all had a nice day! xo
