My Review

Do you love to eat durian and cakes? Then the combination of both is the best choice to enjoy. 

Recently, my family and I tried classic MSW durian cake and snowy D24 durian mochi from The Durian Bakery. This is not the first time that tried durian cakes and pastries from The Durian Bakery. Few years back, I have tried their MSW durian mille crepe cake. It taste really delicious. 

The order came on time. It came at the first hour within the stated time period. 

Order came pack nicely.

Came with accessories. 

One thing I notice is that both the cake and mochi do not come with heavy durian smell. There is only very light durian smell when I cut open the cake.

The mochi came sealed in a tray of 6 pieces with long expiry date. But I am sure it will be gone in minutes after opening. 😅

The mochi itself touches soft and bouncy. 

I randomly measured each pieces of mochi, they are size around 3.5cm to 4cm in diameter each.

The skin is really thin and filled full of D24 durian puree.

Absolutely delicious!   

Classic MSW Durian Cake

It is very well decorated. Simple and beautiful.

The topping is filled with shaved premium unsweetened Belgium white chocolate. Although unsweetened, it is still slightly sweet if I taste just the chocolate individually.

The cake is covered with Hokkaido fresh whipped cream. I am not a person who like my cake heavily cream. 
But there is only a very thin layer covering this cake and it is absolutely not sweet. Taste really good.

The vanilla cake itself taste soft and not sweet at all.

The MSW durian inside the cake taste delicious. Very strong sweet creamy taste. Just like I am eating fresh durian. But it will be better if the MSW durian inside can taste bitter sweet instead of full sweet. 
Very strong sweet creamy taste. 

I must say, the ratio of each part, from topping to cream to cake and durian, blended very well together. The cake taste so delicious when eaten all together, covering each other's flaws. Totally not jelak (means not tired / overwhelm) when eaten a lot. 

It's a job well done for the team for balancing the sweetness of the cake and using unsweetened for other parts of the cake as the durian itself is sweet enough. 

My family and I absolutely enjoy the cake.

Overall, the MSW durian cake and mochi taste full of durian that is not so sweet. They are delicious and fresh with good quality.

Tablet is one great choice when choosing our digital gadget as it affordable and versatile. 

Recently, I was introduced to the new LUMOS Tablet. I don't usually get so excited over digital gadget but I was really excited when I get my hands on this extremely affordable and top quality LUMOS Tablet. 

The tablet came in a nice rectangle box.

The tablet is thin and weight about 488g. A bit of weight there but not that heavy to carry around. 10.1 inch screen size is just nice for me.

It came with basic screen protector too. 

Besides the usual power button, volume button and type C jack, this tablet came with 3.5mm headphone jack and micro SD card slot. Now I can use my favorite headphone without using an adapter. I can also easily copy my video and documents into my micro SD card and plug into the tablet.

Battery Life

Tablet came with loaded battery when I first open it. Mine came loaded with 83% of battery.

After fully charge, without doing anything for the whole day, battery is reduce to 96%. 

Showing battery life. 

The 6000mAh battery is pretty long lasting. 3 to 4 long hours of heavy usage on watching YouTube and videos uses around 30% of the battery only. 

The battery last even longer if I turn on airplane mode with WiFi without any sim card. 

Also, the tablet does not heat up even after using for long hours.

It takes around 3 hours to fully charge the tablet with 20% of battery life left.  

Setup

This LUMOS tablet is pretty easy to setup. There are step by step clear instructions to follow during setup.

Sound

Speaker is located at both sides of the tablet. Although the sound cannot be compare to those stereo sound system, the sound produce by the tablet is clear and not flat. There is a nice amount of treble and bass, not strong but enough for basic entertainment. 

Mini Laptop

My LUMOS Tablet came with bundle accessories such as keyboard, mouse and stylus.

It's great that I can turn my tablet into mini laptop and use it to do my personal work.

It came with WPS office apps. This make it really convenient for me to open and create documents.

The keyboard is nice to type with good responsiveness. 

However, the mouse is not as smooth as the keyboard. There may sometimes be slight delay due to being in standby mode but it still helps a lot when I use my tablet as a mini laptop.  

Keyboard, mouse and stylus. 

The stylus is pretty lightweight. For me, I am a person who love to use my finger to navigate my tablet. I find that it needs a little force when using the stylus to scroll or tap since the rubbery tip cannot be compared to our fingers that produce enough static to make it more responsive than a stylus. 
But using the stylus reduces finger print on the tablet screen. If you are a person who love using stylus, the stylus provided does the work. 

Casting Feature

This LUMOS tablet came with build-in screen sharing or mirror cast capability.

Lastly, what is a tablet without camera? LUMOS tablet came with the basic front and back camera.

Overall, this tablet exceeded my expectation. It is really a very budget friendly and quality tablet to consider and get. Although it cannot be compare to flagship tablet that cost around $1000 plus in term of hardware specification, it is definitely enough for work, surfing net, watching video and basic entertainment. All with a very wallet friendly price. Go grab one now!
