REVIEW | Cellnique Intensive Hydro Repair Biological Masque

2015-02-13T20:30:00.003+08:00

Now, I was never one to rave about cleansers because in the olden days, a cleanser was a cleanser, and any cleanser was good as long as it did the job of cleansing my face, right? I experienced a sudden breakout in Sep 2014, which lasted for at least a good three months.. And even now, I'm on acne medication (Roaccutane) and still battling those pesky post-acne pigmentation and scarring! :(

So anyway, thanks to Roaccutane, my skin has been rather flaky and dry lately, especially around the chin/mouth. And foaming cleansers that leave my skin feeling tight and squeaky are definitely not doing the job for me now. Quite by a combination of coincidence and good fortune, Cellnique sent over their newest product: Intensive Hydro Repair Biological Masque!

I have to say that I was worried about using the Intensive Hydro Repair Biological Masque at first.

For someone who's just recovered from a bad breakout, I was extremely apprehensive. I was worried that using 'too moisturise' mask would clog my pores again and cause further breakouts. Previous masks I used always felt just a little too thick and greasy on my skin, and I wasn't sure if they were really working their magic. I just never fell in love with them, nor did I ever re-purchase any of the previous masks I tried.

Verdict?

I LOVE IT.

I really do.. I am almost finished with it within 2 weeks. But that is also due to the way I use it (which I now realise must be a bit heavy-handed..) I remember the instructions said to use once in a week, but I used twice a week due to my skin condition.

The Intensive Hydro Repair Biological Masque promises the following:

*Immediate comfort
*Cooling , calming and restoring the skin
*Skin emerges infinitely regenerated
*Help skin achieve maximum hydration and revitalize the complexion

Four main ingredients are Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Hydrergy and SYN®-HYCAN.

Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrergy and Syn-Hycan that helps skin achieve maximum hydration and revitalises the complexion, while Faex and Snail Mucin provide immediate comfort by cooling, calming and restoring the skin, skin emerges infinitely regenerated.

The amazing powers of the Intensive Hydro Repair Biological Masque are illustrated here: See what Intensive Hydro Repair Biological Masque does on my face!

*Left-Before; Right-After*
FYI, I have fair skin which causes my post inflammatory hyperpigmentation marks slightly red and pinkish.

In the short amount of time, Cellnique mask has managed not to break me out & the areas of extreme red and pale pink contrast have already improved by more than 50% as observed. However, this type of result would have also taken me with assistance (pure Vitamin C serum), Cellnique mask has seriously acted as a catalyst to fasten the skin healing process. In sum, I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has the same problem like me!

Barbie Hair with Berry Ash

2014-03-31T15:16:00.001+08:00

Hi, I'm here again to blog about my hair dye post, a very short post. I've been months not dying my hair and you can actually see a pudding served on top of my head. I don't wanna show u that because I feel paiseh to show it out, it's so unpleasant sight!

With that, I decided to try something new, Freshlight foam dye from Schwarzkopf in Berry Ash. The color seems not bad huh on the Barbie's hair and I hope my outcome will be same as hers. *pray*

So this is my hair color before dye. I didn't take any photos during the process because I'm all alone to dye my hair.

Gonna show you the outcome right now! I do like the outcome of the color, it's kind of dark ash brown instead. At this point, I really love my hair color! No more black root!

Alright! Serve you one more photo before continuing my drama, Vampires Diaries. Just ignore the bare face of me but FOCUS on my hair color. So beautiful! It looks like Ang mo hair Liao with ashy color. Haha!

Till then.

Be A Healthy Snow White with Byco Whitening Soap

2014-03-16T13:12:00.001+08:00

Here in Malaysia, being fair is considered beautiful compare to being tan, that's why there are loads & loads of whitening products here.

Whitening lotions... Whitening toners... Whitening scrubs... Whitening facial washes... Whitening creams... The list is endless!

I’m Chinese, so I’m generally fair in my own way, which is light yellow undertone. Of course, I don’t like to tan but I use to be tanned easily and would be very tanned. Oh, and I frequently walk to Uni. I don’t wear a hat or sunblock except for the SPF on my face from lotion (I know this is bad, but meh). So, the consequence of having this bad habit has caused me to be tanned into 2 darker tones!

Until I met Moses, my friend, I heard from him he has a friend start selling whitening soap, which will be officially available at Jaya Grocer & Village Grocer, Malaysia, and being the curious girl little girl I am, I had received 2 bars of soap of Byco from him to test it out.

Byco Beauty Whitening Soap.

Although it's marketed as a whitening soap, it doesn't really "whiten" as much as actually brightening it and restoring it. The purpose of this soap isn't to bleach your skin, but to bring your skin color back to its natural skin color. Since it has real papaya extract in it, it has a component called papaine that is a natural exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and also create cell turnover, revealing new healthy skin. This product is a do-it-all for me. Even though I do not want to be "snow white" or Caucasian but I'm happy being oriental and like my skin color now!

Another thing to note, you might be thinking this soap may be very drying on the skin, but I personally don't have a problem with that because carrot extract in this soap fixes that right up, which has the properties of anti-inflammatory and soothing effect on uncomfortable skin to bring moisture balance back for skin.

To use this, I wet my skin and hands, rub the soap on my hands to get a good amount and apply it on my skin. Massaging it for a while and then wash it off. Simple as that!

Here's my before & after photo (under same mode/ setting and light):

Before.

After. As promised, it does brightens up my skin, it really worked!

I did get a shade lighter after constantly using it for a month, results will vary with every person. Some will see results after a week or few months. Patience is the key. It takes time because it is adjusting your skin to the change gradually instead of a quick change which can cause trauma to the skin.

Overall, I've very pleased with this soap. I see my complexion getting better, gradually and it's continuing to improve. I’ll continue using it and this becomes a staple product for me, I do make it a point to include it in my shopping basket next time whenever I'm running out of it.

Model Winsom Lim get addicted on it as well.

Butter Up @Seri Kembangan

2014-03-15T12:08:00.003+08:00

I was hyped and excited to go to Butter Up at Seri Kembangan for some great pastries. They offer wide assortment of menu, and their baked goods are in reasonable price.

Here's some pics of the place (credited to esticalovesfood).

Such a surprise to have a cozy and yet comfy shop in Serdang area. Modern European design is filling every corner of the shop, it makes you feel like living in another countries.

The place is not that large but yet they still have indoor and outdoor dining areas.

Illy Mocha is served. I was so surprise to see Illy coffee had actually launched in my town, I know this brand from doing part of my assignment, their target market was initially targeted to high coffee consumption countries, especially Italy. I never thought they further expand their brand in Malaysia, it's so good for coffee lover to try out this new quality brand.

Seafood Aglio Olio was......so so. It was a bit bland but perfect for those who prefer anything 清淡. On the upper right is my Earl Grey Tea.

I ordered 1 blueberry and 1 original (vanilla) cream puffs.

Cream puffs look so wonderful with the icing sugar sprinkled on top of it. The shells are light and fluffy with a nice crispness on the outside. The cream is smooth and very rich with its natural vanilla aroma and not being overly sweet, just plain awesome. Guess will come back for this far more than I probably should!

I want to apology for not taking clear pics of my ordered puffs. I couldn't wait to taste it when it was served just right in front of me. It waves towards me and keeps calling me:" come and eat me, faster come......"

Ok la, compensate you with the nicer close up pic, credited to esticalovesfood.

Till then. Enjoy reading :)

Freaky facts about Fion

2013-12-23T10:36:00.001+08:00

Kick comes, think about fun facts about myself and jot them down.

#1 I love sunny side up egg since 5 until now.
I could only eat my meal with sunny side up egg when I was 5 and thus nutrition deficiency happened in me!

#2 This is disgusting but I like to see animal carcass.
But this doesn't mean I will like torturing animals. I'm an animal lover indeed!

#3 I somehow do enjoy watching horror movie alone in the home.

The more horror the better, HAHAHAHAHA!

#4 Like to look at hot guys and talk about how hot they are but will never do anything.

#5 I can't read with the television on in the background but love listening to music instead.

#6 Want to marry Aaron Kwok since 8.
Jay Chou, Robert Pattinson, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, David Beckham and the list goes on.

#7 I like everything Western even though I'm Chinese.
I could eat up 2 plates of spaghetti (any sauces will do) instead of 2 bowls of rice.

#8 Have a terrible lying skill.
My mouth will quiver like an earthquake while telling a lie. Lol! That's how people around me will so soon figure it out.

#9 Believe in everything unless proven otherwise.
I'm a person full of hope, such an angel. Wth, just a joke.

#10 I don't like.....cats.
I'm sorry.

人生目标

2013-12-19T13:20:00.003+08:00

我们，学院的素样。

三个来自不同地方，不同背景，不同教育的女生，大谈人生目标。

谈话后，回家真的有认真思考。我的梦想是什么？我的人生目标是什么？想做什么事？我想做得事很多，但是很遗憾的，不是每个人都看得到它。因为在成长的过程中我们可能背弃了它，可能压抑了它对你的重要，也或者它被生活的挫折给掩盖过去了。

“人因梦想而伟大”，这句话不是广告词，而是事实！因为现在你的想法、行动与态度，会受到未来的你的影响，而那个未来的你，就是你的人生目标与梦想。

在人群中，每个人都有机会称为独一无二的那个人。所以，别害怕。别茫然。勇敢地去追求自己的人生目标。 💭🏃

终。

那天，午餐：鱿鱼翁菜、龙眼豆花、汤圆豆浆。

我的汤圆豆浆。

看到汤圆，就想到冬至将到临。过了冬至，也意味着快过农历了，趁现在我也要为未来的一年好好的做规划了！

终。

Throwback birthday celebration with 3 December babies.

Happy belated birthday to the 3 December babies.

Blueberry smoothie was served, which is concoction of blueberries, strawberries and non-fat vanilla frozen yogurt. Well, it was pretty good, tastes like vanilla ice cream indeed.

Chicken Fingers arrived in a plate with lined Bubba Gump's newspaper and it was great for sharing.

Shrimper's Net Catch, looked very appetizing and was a large generous serving. The shrimps were all plump and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend.

I was so bloated after feeding myself with great foods. What to do next after u have boosted up your energy level??? Of course, have photo taking session!

Beauty pageants of 2013.

We all have grown up and my babies become more and more pretty than before.

Hunk mans? 🙊

"Instagram" was so happening!

Lastly, my selfie shot with this London's red telephone box mini cupcake! Resistant to eat due to its cuteness.

Signing out with a selfie. Just got a new tattoo, love it so much! 😄

Warm remind: I just get addicted to an app, called dayre. It's so so so instant and convenient, I can't stop updating stuff there. U can just "stalk" me there, @fionloo :D

Salon Miko: Lovin' my Pink, Purple and Blue Dip Dye!

2013-05-08T13:01:00.000+08:00

Hello all!
This is quite an overdue post, SO SORRY ABOUT IT! But I gotta say, my latest hair color is amazingly stunning and I am so in love with it! And it is incredibly lasting as well.. It's been almost a month since I got these pink/purple/blue streaks done and they are still looking absolutely gorgeous!

So in love with dip dye hair still! Hahaha. I always feel that it looks great and it's something different. Dip Dyes (sometimes known as Tip Dyes) were a big trend for Spring/Summer 2012 and with Autumn upon us they don't show any signs of going away!

Here you go!

Part One: The Color + Hair Cut.

I've gotten alot inquiries asking if bleaching is required for my pink/purple/blue highlights and yes, bleaching is actually required for those streaks to be highlighted pink/purple/blue. Since I'm a brunette it would be kind of bad for my hair. Especially bleaching my hair. But it's okay, just try once upon a time! :)

Part Two: Treatment!

I got hair treatment done in the same day! If you get frequent coloring and bleaching done so often like I do, hair treatment is absolutely essential to ensure that your hair condition is kept as healthy as possible!

And... TAADAAAAA!!! Isn't this completely lovely? Shinky is such a genius when it comes to blending those colors together and the effect is totally mesmerizing!

My amazing hair stylist, Shinky! After entrusting my hair to him for the past almost 1 year, I feel totally secure in his hands.

Finally...finishing off blowdrying and here's the final end result! Soft, bouncy, shiny hair! Yay! I left the salon happy camper.

So in love with this hair color! I am ever eternally grateful to Salon Miko, Shinky for being my hair hairstylist for the past 1 year. I have honestly not had to worry about my hair at all!

21st Birthday Presents

2012-12-30T12:30:00.000+08:00

Finally! I blog about my birthday presents! Is anyone of you got interested with what I got this year? HAHAHA, I'm so happy cuz I got fews nice belated birthday presents from friends of mine. Actually I told them that you all don't need to buy anything for me, just attend my birthday party is enough and I will be happy for it. GUYS, I DO REALLY MEAN IT! But.....ended up they still bought me some presents. LOL. Anyway, thanks for the lovely presents. Appreciated!

Here's what my parent and friends got me as a gift:

Dad bought me a car a years ago. It's the most expensive thing he ever bought for me and also the most expensive thing I ever received. I was really shocked he really bought it cuz my mom wasn't planned to buy for me while I'm still studying. I'm so shocked I received it too fast, Dad. LOL. Love you Dad!

Dad and Mom gifted me $$$ instead of presents for this year. Actually, they planned to buy me a diamond key chain necklace that I love from Tiffany & Co. but I refused it cuz I would like to hold on a Birthday Party with my friends. LOL. Stupid me. It's okay, I still had lots of fun with my beloved friends in my celebrated birthday party and it's worth!!! Love you Dad and Mom, I will claim that necklace from you in my next birthday. HAHAHAHAHA.

This is a known present from Mike, Shenny, Elly, & Frances. Why do I say it's known by me? HAHAHA, this is because the boyfie suddenly asked me about my laptop's size in car while we were heading to the party's destination. And this Q is enough to hint what you all planned to buy for me. HAHAHA, you all should blame him for revealing this secret. By the way, I really really really never expect a birthday present from you all so when I received it I was really damn happy! It's true! I'm gonna deeply love you all! Muacks! *tears of happiness*

Dress from Pei Yee & Juvein. This dress just looks as sweet as they are and I even can imagine about their facial expression or any arguments occurred when they were choosing the types of dress for me, especially the size cuz I'm too skinny :( It's okay, it just perfectly fits me. Thankyou to my fav D's!

Catherine got me a Rock chocolates in Eiffel Tower. I thought it was an adornment. Till she told me it's chocolate inside, I was like OMG!!! How come I didn't realize it's a food so that I can share these chocolates with you all. And one more thing, I felt guilty sometimes cuz I didn't attend your birthday cerebration or even prepare a gift to you this year :( but yet you still prepared a gift for me. Catherine, you're too sweet!

Lastly, present from the boyfie......

THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE PRESENT I EVER GET FROM HIM T.T Thank you, Dear!

I got this random cuz he asked me to try some watches when we were shopping and I really went to try! I did chose my favorite watch with ignoring the price of it. Who cares the price if you just have a try, right???

---

THIS IS THE CONSEQUENCE!

Stupid me. I'm the one who misunderstood the situation and didn't know that he apparently brought me up to choose my late birthday present. When he asked me:"do you like that watch?", I answered him:"YES!!!" This answer had ended up he paid for it. OMFG!!! I WAS SO PANIC, I TOLD HIM DON'T BUY BECUZ IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE, COSTS AROUND RM1k+++ FOR A WATCH, IT'S NOT WORTH FOR ME NOW!!!! In the end, he just smiled at me and said to me:" If you really love that watch, please just accept it like how you accepted me as your bf." OMG! I was DEEPLY touched and almost tear with his words. I really thought he won't gift me this year birthday cuz I told him not to gift me again because he spent too much on me already. Sigh...I wish it's just a dream but it's not! AGAIN IMMA HAPPY GIRL!!! *full of tears from my happiness and guiltiness*

我想我已经被你宠坏了`. HAHAHA. Thankyou so so so much, my dear and love you so much too!

Lastly,

Happy Birthday to ME again! I was enjoyed with you all, thankyou.

Christmas Eve Dinner at Cafe Takahashi @Pavilion

2012-12-25T12:05:00.002+08:00

Jingle bells Jingle bells, Jingle all the way...♪♪♪ X'Mas song is spreading all around the corner, I guess you are ready for it. I love X'mas as it is a day that fills with joy and love. And, even we don't have winter in M'sia but we still can feel the X'Mas atmosphere at every corner because most of the shopping malls have put so much effort on these X'Mas decorations, especially luxurious-decorated Christmas tree.

Of course, Christmas cuisine is the must in this festival! So, we had our dinner settled at Cafe Takahashi @Pavilion.

Cafe Takahashi serve contemporary Japanese food combining classic Japanese, Italian and Western cuisines. It is located at Pavillion KL's Tokyo Street, where adventurous Japanese foodies can dig into Japanese cuisines from high end dining, desserts to Japan's common street food.

Huge window display of 'sampuru' (fake food plastic models).

We ordered Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Set Couple Meal. Let's find out how good the food tastes!

X'Mas Fruit Mocktail.

X'Mas Moriawase. Platter of Chukka Idago, Prawn Cocktail and Potato Salad.

Cream of Garden Spinach Soup.

Chawanmushi (add-ons), one of my favourite ♥ I always order this once I dine in Japanese cuisine.

Hotate & Mushroom Soup Pasta. Spaghetti served with mushrooms and some huge scallops. It's delicious but the soup is a bit salty for me!

Actually, from the first, I felt it was a bit weird for me to have a pasta dish infused with some touches from Japanese cuisine but, this dish turned out pretty delightful indeed.

Smoked Duck Ragout. Thick and creamy soup chocked-full with mushroom slices and tender slices of smoked ducks, served along with light fluffy pastries at the side. It is the must to try it out at the cafe!

Mango Pudding served with Vanilla Snow Cream. This is just not for me as I’m not a big fan of mango but others seem like dig in with gusto!

♥ ♥

---

Enticing?

Overall, Cafe Takahashi is still standing pretty well on an average scale. And, there is a couple of favorites that I will visit Cafe Takahashi again. Add-ons here: I apologize for those pictures aren't being nicely taken because we couldn't wait to swallow the foods into our grounding tummies! XP

Lastly,

My HARDCORE X'Mas Meal!!!

Warm X'Mas Celebration

2012-12-22T22:38:00.000+08:00

A joyful X'Mas had just passed, how was your X'Mas? My X'Mas was actually very simple for every year, just rephrase a presentation of activities especially X'Mas meal and gift giving to this festival. This year, I only celebrated X'Mas with him ♥, because my family members did not celebrate it. But my family sometimes do celebrate it by hanging out to somewhere else, especially GENTING! They think there is the place they can feel X'Mas atmosphere the most and got the most beautiful & creative fireworks to see and some impressive events/ shows to enjoy. LOL. Okay, I agree with that.

Here you are! My X'Mas celebration with him!

#1 Traditional Cuisine

As we know, a special Christmas meal is traditionally an important part of this celebration. Of course, I chose to have my X'Mas Eve meal in a Japanese restaurant, Cafe Takahashi which serves contemporary Japanese food combining classic Japanese, Italian and Western cuisines. If you didn't read or missed out my X'Mas Eve Dinner, you may refer to this link: http://fionfish.blogspot.com/2012/12/christmas-eve-dinner-at-cafe-takahashi.html

#2 Christmas Card

I guess you know the custom of sending X'Mas wishes has now become popular among a wide cross-section of people with the emergence of the modern trend towards exchanging E-cards through e-mail. No doubt, I used this way too for sending my lovely wishes to all my loves. It's a SUPER convenient way for lazy person to do D.I.Y cards like me and it saves cost & time. The most important thing is E-cards considered environmentally friendly to our mother Earth! *Coughing*

What I crapped just now was to find an excuse for myself, LOL! Actually I have limited artistic skill =.= It's okay! I got one special for him too! How special it is?!

Tadaaaa! I edited the photo and made it into so-called X'Mas card. Surprise?

I think he will more surprise what's the heck going on his FB account. I had used his FB account without his notice to post all these "break-up" things instead of wishes and caused his friends to worry about him. HAHAHA! (wtfithinksomepeoplegonnatopunchmerightnow)

Add-ons: It's also considered a gift to him, HAHAHA! Anyway, the HIDDEN MEANING of this gift is CONCERN FROM TRULY PEOPLE!

#3 Gift-Giving

Who doesn't love getting parcels? Even better when they are parcels full of mysterious and surprising goodies. But this time I'm telling you Imma a happy girl because I had received X'Mas gift twice from him even though there is only between him and me in exchanging gift! Here is it:

He received a "pretty & cute girl" which is myself from me as his another X'Mas gift. HAHAHA! Just kidding, he just hopes I can celebrate X'Mas with him. That's it. It's a simple and yet sweet request from him.

This is a very 1st casual gift from HIM. Why do I say so because he asked me what I want for X'Mas gift, or else he will buy BirkenStock scandal for me.

21st Birthday Dinner with My Beloved Friends

2012-11-12T13:11:00.001+08:00

I had celebrated my birthday in October and I waited till November to blog about it. Ya,I know, I'm a badass blogger =) LOL! Actually I'm not, I just want this post to stay on the top AS LONG AS POSSIBLE!

My dining plan for my birthday party:

#1 Fine Dining
I was firstly planning to have fine dining but I always think the food portion is so tiny which cannot fill in any part of our stomach. One more thing is that their cuisine and service are normally expensive.

#2 Buffet
This can offer my guests a large variety of food so there will always be something that everyone likes. At the same time, this style can create a lot of wastage. As you know, some of my pretty girls normally have a small stomach with them, HAHA!

I was tortured for a week because of deciding what styles of dinning should I held for my party and I even asked my friend's opinion about it. Well, my last decision was to have a seated dinner in Brewster's, Ipoh.

Second time dine in Brewster's. YUMMM!

Accidently saw this photo, look at their serious face expression in choosing food, just like watching them to discuss national affairs in LIVE, HAHA!

Some pics of the day while waiting the food to serve,

This lovely couple is the sweetest that I ever seen. I do really bless them =)

Don't remember why she laughed like that, probably some funny joke that her boyf told.

The most handsome guy in our class, I'm dare to say so because the probability of getting handsome guy in my course is so tiny ~.~ and yet he's still single and available. Faster pick HIM!

Hey Dear, apparently my face is smaller than you, please accept the fact.

I'm the BIRTHDAY GIRL.

Let's come to food,

I didn't order any wines for my friends as I want to ensure all my guests reach their home safely =) SEE! How good I am, LOL! By the way, they had their own juices.

Brewster's Pork Burger. Ya, I admit myself, I'm so "MEATY" as I only love their pork burger patty.

Ribeye Steak. This is SUPER GOODDD!

Tequila Lime Fish.

Brewster's Pork Chop.

Vegetarian Pasta. It really tastes good eventhough I'm not a vege-lover.

Brewster's Pork Knuckle.

(P/S: The food is taken by my two beloved photographers using two different cameras with different functions and thus there are two versions to view.)

Let's eat!!! Some pics of the day after we're done eating...

I ❤ this photo, my pretty girls look stunning. Photo with YD, Juvein & Pei Yee.

One of my besties, Elly and her sweetheart.

Hey, The man wears in red, Mike why you act cool here??Phto with Mike, Frances & Shenny.

Girl with gold hair, Audrey, I knew her since foundation. Girl with black hair, Catherine is the one I knew her since primary school, she's the fairest princess and I hate how she never get tanned eventhough she doesn't use sunblock.

For all my friends, I hope our relationship is not broken by some conflicts or scandals. If you're my friend, you should know me, I do really appreciate every friendship I had in my life and always treat my friends sincerely if you're so true for me =)

Let's continue to view following photos with no caption...

I should adds-on here, my stupid Dear told me a ridiculous joke, he told me that I look like a girlf for this handsome guy, just like a couple. HAHA, Dear, you should bless me.

Handsome boy is so happy with two pretty girls. Soooo ENVY!!!

Pretty 'MAMA', who always takes care of my everything~❤

Lastly, my couple pic!

I was so enjoyed the food at Brewster's. Thanks to everyone for attending my birthday dinner ❤

TWG Tea and Boutique in Pavilion

2012-10-27T13:22:00.000+08:00

The hot trends that recently has captured me was TWG Tea & Boutique in Pavilion. Their reflecting glamour and prestige always flash before your eyes when you pass by them. After reading TWG Tea reviews from few bloggers, I know I have to go as soon as possible.

TWG Tea Boutique, is the finest luxury tea brand in the world. They offer more than 450 fine harvest teas from around the globe as well as exclusive tea blends, vibrantly colourful packaged teas, an array of gifts sets for any occasion, such as the ever popular Haute Couture Tea Collection, and signature tea accessories. In addition to an array of takeaway patisseries, the Boutique also offers TWG Tea-infused chocolate bonbons, chocolate bars and macaroons.

Their interior design is surrounded by the walls of tea tins filled with more than 450 tea blends, tea-infused bonbons, tea paraphernalias and cakes all on a base of mahogany counters. It's an awesome place for having a tea time.

TWG Tea Tea List.

Apple Juice.

Earl Grey Fortune Tea, served in 18k gold characteristic Design Teapots.

Remember to take in the aroma of the tea first before tasting it. No doubt it tastes refreshing.

A chic tea set.

Take a snap with this afternoon tea set in its beautiful tray!

Finger sandwiches from Imperial set.

Hmmm, the sandwiches were not so fresh as I expected and already cold when it was served. It was quite disappointing......
~~maybe I'm too demanding~~.

Baked scones served with TWG Tea jelly and whipped cream. A traditional way of enjoying it.

Start Tasting it!

The whipped cream is just nice compliment for its light flavour and fluffy texture.

Lastly,

Thank you My Dear for bringing me this heavenly good place.

Always love how we were still close even though we see each other not so often ❤

P/S: I love the ambiance and tea, it's a good place for small gatherings with your close friends.

Plan B

2012-10-11T13:32:00.000+08:00

October is here already! It's my birthday month, please be awesome to me ❤

I finally visited Plan B for our brunch in Mid valley with my Dear and his sister, and surprisingly it wasn't pack on that day! Actually, this is the 2nd time I went to Plan B, while the 1st time was with my best friend, Ying Ying for the very first try. See... I'll definitely be back for the same restaurant if there are served with affordable and delicious food.

But, I'm sure most of you have heard of Plan B, it's one of the restaurants owned by The Big Group which opened a lot of their flagships around town and I've been reading some reviews about this restaurant, they are quite famous indeed.

Plan B’s menu is featured with a wide selection of healthy salads, sandwiches, breakfasts, pasta as well as a variety of cakes and pastries.

I love their menu, simple and plain.

Customers will always be served with a medicine type bottle of water while waiting their food and drinks to come.

This is basically what we've ordered.

We just ordered a single beverage, Frosty Lychee Lime Juice.

Asian style soft shell crab pasta, spaghetti in creamy butter sauce which tossed with chili padi and crispy curry leaves. It's super creamy and spicy at the same time. If you're a big fan of Chinese style butter crab, you should try this out then.

We are really craving for this ❤

Eggs Benedict, poached eggs over turkey ham and buttered toasted English muffin, topped with Hollandaise sauce.

This is definitely a hearty meal to fill up your stomach and you will feel full pretty quick with this, especially for girls. Oucch! It makes me mouthwatering now!

Smoked Salmon Sandwich with cream cheese relish. Served together with salad and chips. Quite awesome......

This is their latest operating hours. Overall, I love their concept, food and ambiance that Plan B creates. U guys can have a TRY there :D

Lastly, photo of that day......

2012-10-01T20:02:00.000+08:00

P.S: I'm basically half dead now, still have more works are waiting me to do.

Friends

2012-09-30T20:48:00.001+08:00

Everyone has friends, the point is how close you guys are. If you assume everyone will have many so called BEST FRIENDS, then you are wrong, so wrong! My best friend told me that most of the friendship are build on the "using" purpose. If it isn't on purpose, the relationship won't be long lasting. *I'm not saying that every friendship is based on purpose, just mention minor part of the world.*

I have a lot of so-called best friends which I got to know at my previous school. Below shows some of our conversations.

The day came, and I was waiting Le friend to fetch me from my home.

WAIT

---

WAIT!!!!!!

This is the "first" time Le friend called and asked me for a date. Wanna know what is the ending of the date? Le friend ended up by "putting aeroplane" (missed appointment). I tried to call and SMS but there is no answer. After a while from calling Le friend, Le friend sent me a message and said the date is cancelled! COOL MAN...

So, I set my mode back to "home mode" and continued my drama session. Who know?! I checked my phone and saw there was tons of messages from Le friend! I was like....

And, Le friend called for making the plan ON again! Hello! Who do you think you are?! What am I for you?! Your maid or bodyguard? Sorry, I'm not and I'm fucking expensive! Ok! *I mean my time is super duper expensive* You may be concerned that Le friend might be having some issues to make the plan cancel right ? :)

My God! From earlier, Le friend told me that her boyf has fucking good temper! Ya, I believe your words! So, impossible he will get angry so fast because of that traffic jam, right?!! And I was wondering that why this Le friend likes to show off boyf by praising boyf with perfect characteristics such as rich, handsome, good temper, etc. C'mon, your boyf is just an ordinary person, add-ons with PMS like a bitch. LOL!

Please stop showing off that you have such boyfriend , I'm not envy at all!

If he is Bill Gates' son, then I think you have the obligation to tell us! If not, shut the fuck up! Seriously, having boyf by showing argue on FB and keep changing the relationship status on FB is your new hobby? I really have no idea why and how a person can change boyf like changing clothes. For real, I would know you are being with someone that you have no feeling with but on money that means you are poor mentally and physically! Poor you ...

Also, this Le friend asked me to have my own car. For god's sake, the car you sit is owned by your boyf, definitely that's not yours, honey! Don't know why Le friend can be so XXX. *don't know how to describe*

Another Le friend called me...

It is so obvious that Le friend despise on me. But It's okay, it turned out my result is so much better than Le friend :)

popping champagne and let's the party ON!

Don't you think friend is a good device to motivate yourself to a better life! Treat your friend GOOD ya! LOL! :D

Okay! I have to stop it now, if not I will keep attacking my "Le friends" non-stop ;D

I'm actually not having contact with them, therefore, I'm not mad while writing this blog post but everything I stated here is freaking TRUTH! Everyone have this kind of friends beside you , the point is whether you decided to treat them nicely or treat them unfriendly! Of course I still have some friends that treat me REAL!

Chill at Chatime

2011-10-31T20:22:00.000+08:00

In the arena of desserts, the craze over Taiwan bubble tea has been a tad overwhelming over the past months, very much thanks to a Taiwan franchised dessert, Chatime.

Boyfie and I were happy when we saw the short queue and gladly join the line until we realized that there was a crowd waiting on the other side of the kiosk.

While waiting......

The shop in Pavilion has tables and chairs nearby for you to sit and enjoy your favourite bubble tea with friends, another plus point compared to other shops around town.

Is my turn,

Yeap, I bought my first drink ‘Roasted Milk Tea with Pearls’, their bestseller.

Start to drink!

Hmmm......Take a sip 1st.

What I can say is that it tastes different from the ones you get from the smaller stalls, which a majority of them uses power based ingredients. The sweet, creamy flavor of milk tea never fails to tickle my taste buds.

I just love this milky, healthy drink that filled with lots of incredibly springy pearls.

I do quite fancy it! Look at that face, U may know....XD

Craving more as it was love at my first sip, haha.

Lastly,

I love how the straws come in a packaging on it’s own, details such as this definitely makes it more enjoyable.

P/S: Remember to bring your friend along to enjoy as Chatime has a vast variation of Tea where you can choose from to suit your taste, and the next thing I know Chatime is sprouting like mushrooms all over KL and Selangor, spotting on prominent locations for visibility and branding purposes.

Moo Cow Frozen Yogurt

2011-10-22T09:02:00.000+08:00

Moo.......................................................................... It was the Moo sounds that caught my attention.

Ya, Frozen Yogurt has hit the town! It is strategically located at the level 3 between Sushi Zanmai and Fong Lye Restaurant. What a nice location as it always pack with people. I can't resist to buy a cup after the cow "MOO" at me while walking past the stall after my lunch!

The seating area looks comfortable and well decorated like a farm house!

Yeap, this is Moo Cow Family.

At Moo Cow, there's a familiar topping section and yogurt-dispensing levers are present but do not have free reign over the amount of yogurt.

Prices are very reasonable even by ~~my scrooge standards~~. Lol.

Original Flavor with Sunflower seeds and Dried cranberries.

The portion is pretty big as U can see from the cup I ordered and the price is very reasonable.

Start to Moooo......

Wow, that was good! Heavy creamy texture and loads fuller to give U that extra kick in every spoonful. Just like ice cream but less calories! Dessert without the guilt!

Lastly,

i ♥ Moo Cow XOXO

Dine in Sakae Sushi

2011-09-28T21:48:00.000+08:00

Looking for Japanese place, U may go to the "Green Frog", named Sakae Sushi.

This place is serving favorite Japanese fast food chain. I think the nicest thing about sushi restaurant is being able to see the sushi moving around U.

The price it's inexpensive but it's fresh, good quality and very enjoyable. U will be surprise to see Japanese food price at such reasonable price. I noticed that they were using a new order system, they had touch screen monitors. Awesome ain't it?! Touch, Touch, Touch to make your order, haha!

Feast your eyes on the food, haha.

Here's my dinner, Sakae (サカエ). Breaded chicken cutlet with Japanese curry. Grilled scallops with codfish roe accompanied with salmon teriyaki.

Mizu (ミズ) for my elder brother, soft shell crab with spicy tofu sauce accompanied with salmon sashimi. The salmon pieces is not stingy, it comes in thick slices and fresh too!

Aki (アキ) for my lil brother. Oyster kamameshi accompanied with tempura prawns and assorted vegetables.

I was not full yet and ordered 1 more ......

Spicy Idako Maki, (スバイシ-イイダコ卷き). Seasoned octopus, shrimp roe, crabmeat, Japanese omelette and Japanese chili flakes. Spicy but one of my favorite here.

And some random photos while waiting for food to come......

I look like auntie here BUT look fair, haha.

Hot Green Tea is the most significant "food" for the Japanese.

Do we look alike??

Yeap, I'm ending with the above picture. Go and try Sakae sushi now! Its pricing is really affordable!

Life is a process....

2011-09-01T10:28:00.000+08:00

To me, life is just like a process, do not care about the winning or losing in the game but CARE about the process. As we will always continue to develop and be going through these different states in life. Ya, I'm pretty agree on it. Always moving, whether it seems like some days we are moving forward or some days we are moving backwards. I don't think there is a time where we are done with the process since life always seems to challenge that and with a slap in the face the process continues. There is no finish line. So guys, look forward what's next to do!!!

Citrus Wine & Dine

2011-08-28T13:16:00.000+08:00

In my recent visit to Ipoh, I had a great dinner with my boy in this place called Citrus Wine & Dine, a fine-dining restaurant located in Ipoh Perdana. Citrus has a very simple set up with warm ambiance and spans over 2 shop lots and with upstairs reserved for private functions but it may seemed to be lacking of a nice address.

Big thanks to Eric Ng for recommending that we try Citrus. I would say this outlet is nicely and tastefully done!

With ♥

YOU READY for the FOOD?!!!

Roasted Chicken with Sour Sauce. I don't remember this name lah, just remember the taste!

Spaghetti with Turkey Ham and Mushroom in Cream Sauce.

Aglio Olio with Sliced Chicken.

My Spaghetti with Sliced Chicken in Cream Herb Sauce. YUMMY. *I feel like having one now T.T*

My Dessert Symphony ♥ ♥ Combination of Warm chocolate cake with oozing warm chocolate sauce, Cheese cake and Chocolate brownie with vanilla ice-cream. So YUMMM!

Everything is so YUMMY!!! How I wish I could go again to eat them T.T

Hope you enjoy this post.

San Francisco Steakhouse

2011-07-09T13:19:00.000+08:00

I'm finally done with all the reports. It's time for me to spend more time on my blog.

In searching for a place to relax my mind, I decided to give a new try at San Francisco Steakhouse, which opened at Coliseum Square, Ipoh.

The exterior was nice. Simple and spacious table arrangement allowed to fit in nearly a hundred of diners easily.

Speaking of which, the meal is incomplete without a glass of wine. But, I didn't order as my dearest blocked my way T.T

Dessert is typically coming at the end of a meal. Girls, what are you waiting for??

It comes to food.......

Get prepared your tableware and START!!

Slices of bread were served with a fragrant fresh herb butter chunk.

Mushroom soup with cream. The soup was so good! It was full of mushroom flavor and nice and creamy.

Baked Escargot with Garlic Cream. It's chewy but softer with none of the fishy taste associated with the snails. The garlic cream play a role by making everything beyond perfect.

House Chicken Caesar. Baby romaine lettuce tossed with special dressing, garlic crouton and roasted chicken breast.

Grilled lamb chop served with coleslaw and french fries.

Grilled Salmon with lemon butter sauce, served with baked pilaf rice and garlic broccoli. ♥

Spaghetti Aglio Olio. It is a traditional Italian pasta dish with the robust fragrance of the olive oil, the crisp freshness of the garlic, and the quality of the grated cheese.

But, we left without ordering any desserts, we were too FULL. Sad. Overall was good and dine-in customer can enjoy a complementary waive of the parking ticket which costs RM2 flat per entry into multi-storey car park inside the Coliseum Square.

Camwhore Time.

Yay! I got my new toy last few weeks. My first polaroid camera- Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s. Just point, shoot and up pops a credit size photo which is so instant and mini!

We ended up by taking these photos.

Big Promotions!!

-Order 4 Main Course for 1 FREE Lunch Rebate at San Francisco Steakhouse.

-Collect 1 restaurant’s stamp with any Main Course purchase in each visit on your Lunch Card and redeem a FREE meal worth up to RM30 after 4 purchases.
