FOOD REVIEW ON MY KLUANG COFFEE

Hi foodies,

I am sorry for lack of food reviews or recipes.  Here is a food review on  MyKluang Coffee.
Kluang is famous for coffee and food.
This outlet I went is in Kluang.  It is a corner lot shop next to Aeon Kluang.  You will find most people are here for their drinks and cakes.

MY KLUANG COFFEE

Bat theme

Bat theme carved with your table number.

Very nice, clean and beautiful interior design.

Chrysanthemum tea .  The tea tastes great =) . Not too sweet but just just nice and it is really fresh brewed with the perfect temperature.

Kuey Teow goreng.  There is quite a lot of bean sprouts in this plate.  The kuey teow goreng feels lukewarm which is not a preference since I like my food warm.  The taste is acceptable but nothing really great about it.  There isn't much ingredients in it but for the price of RM5.90 I guess I can't ask much.

Tomato Spaghetti comes with a lot of sauce so much so that my spaghetti is soak in it.  I wouldn't complain if is not that sourish.  The spaghetti is well cooked and it is not too soft except for the sauce. I wish they could make it less sourish T_T .  Portion is good because it is just right for my big stomach.

Mee Rebus is average because I keep comparing it with the one in Perak which is the best Mee Rebus I have ever tasted.  This is sweet and I guess it is the usual mee bandung which is supposedly sweet and comes in brown sauce.  The ingredients and portion are great but not the sauce.  I am sorry that this is another rant.

Classic Fish and Chip
Okay, after so many rants, here is a food that I like.  The wedges are really warm, soft and crispy.  The portion of wedges, the fish and chips are also huge which I think is really cheap for that price that I pay.  It comes with two sauces which is really thoughtful so I can dip into whichever sauce I like.  I will recommend to order the fish and chips, any of their drinks or their cakes which I didn't because I am too full to order dessert.


Their customers service is great.  The waiter serving us repeat the items I orders and serve us once we have seated despite other customers coming in.   The workers wear clean uniform and are quick to our request. Their toilets are really clean and well maintained.

Overall, I think My Kluang needs to improve on some of their dishes because seriously that is going to drawn more customer in.  Other than that, everything is great and I would visit My Kluang again.

Mee Rebus RM4.90
Classic Fish and Chip RM11.90
Fried Kuey Teow RM 5.90

TIPS:DO AND DON'T DURING YOUR MONTHLY CYCLES

Sorry,  this is a girl thing which might be some embarrassment to read for male out there.  I wrote this to share about the Asian stuff which some people out there might be curious to know.  Personally, I have terrible cramps during my monthly thing so there are some things that I do and don't do to make the pain bearable.  Else I will be on the floor and the pain is only temporary eased after I eat painkillers.  My mum is a traditional minded person and so she doesn't allow me to have painkillers.  Instead these are the few things that helps.

Traditional Chinese medicine talks about 'cold' and 'warm'.  It is not the water 'hot' or the ice 'cold' thing but a principal of every food has it 'aura'. Don't ask why the food is considered 'cold' or 'hot' because that is how it is.  The Chinese believes about the balance of Ying Yang.  So, when woman is having monthly thing, it is consider 'weak' and so should avoid some certain food.

Don't

1. Don't drink green tea
- green tea is 'cold' so it will makes the stomach area 'cold' and make the blood clot more which is really not good as it will cause you more pain.  It is good to drink green tea on other normal days but avoid this when you have your monthly thing.

2. Don't wash your hair on your first day
-the cold air can get into the pores of the head and make your body more prone to pain.  This is true if you do not want to have frequent headaches or migraines.  If you wash it on the second day, make sure to dry it as soon as possible.  Don't sleep with your hair wet.

3. Don't bath with cold water
-bath with warm water to encourage blood flow. cold warm makes the stomach area cold so if you are not in pain the first day, you will the next month.

4.  Don't eat something sour (no lemon or tamarind)
-In Malaysia, we have this Laksa which is spicy sour so this food is supposed to cause more 'bleeding' and pain.  Yeah, I accidentally drank this and almost die 'bleeding' a lot for 7days.

5. Don't eat anything 'iced' or from the fridge directly  or ice
-it is considered that anything from the fridge has a 'cold' air to it so cold stuff is not good for you.  Cooked food are different.  SO, say goodbye with your cold bubble tea or ice cream for few days

6. Don't sleep in air conditioner or on the floor
-sleeping in air conditioner means that you are putting your body along with all the 'cold' stuff and make your body even 'colder' when you are supposed to warm up your body.  it is the same as the floor because floor has 'water' that gets into the skin and hurts the body.  There is where the cramp comes.

Do

1. Drink warm ginger tea, eat dark chocolates and grapes

-ginger tea is 'warm' so it helps with the blood flow. You are not supposed to drink ginger tea if you are going for surgery.  I am not joking here. ginger is similar to ginseng.  It is not for one who is going for surgery (not matter what surgery it is).

You can drink plain water but make sure it is warm plain water and not those straight from the fridge.
Dark chocolates and grapes helps with the pain.  SO, get those food ready every month.  Fresh ginger is not as useful as the yellow powdered dry ones.  Good dry powdered warm ginger are warm the moment you drink. You can actually feel the warm fuzzy feeling going into the throat.

2. Wear socks
-the foot is the part which is 'cold' so wear socks to sleep. You can apply some 'warming' balm on your soles and your stomach.  The only warm balm that I like is the one from Thailand(Siang Pure Balm). The balm is in a 12g glass jar and aluminum cap.  If you are lazy to wear socks, then just make sure your blanket is thick enough to warm your leg.

3. Eat more warm food
-Of course with this, I don't mean heated food from the fridge. Try some sandwiches, meat, bacon or red meat.  We generally need more 'warm' food so it is meat.  Lesser vegetables since those are cold.


4. Wear clothes that covered the shoulder area and stomach
-Basically when we have the monthly thing, the body 'cold' and weak so don't exposed those 'weak' area to coldness which can disrupt the 'Qi' around the body.  Even if it is so warm and humid in Malaysia, I will wear long sleeves and thick clothes on the few days else I can become sick easily.

5. Eat nutritious food the day after your monthly cycles
-it is the best time to take some 'warm' herbal food the day after your monthly cycles to help replenish your body.  In Indonesia, they eat 'Jamu' while in here the Chinese will drink some sort of herbal soup.  It is also for young looking skin.  Most people will drink those red dates, ginseng, some herbs plus black chicken.  If you are rich, probably sea cucumber or ginseng. XP  Poor people like me will just have to make do with eggs, meat and ginger.  It isn't as fantastic as ginseng but it is still better than nothing.



I think that are the tips that I wanted to share with my dearest readers.  All the advices I talk about comes down to the same thing-keep your body warm with 'warm' food and avoid 'cold' stuff because those disrupt the blood flow and the thing that cause cramps.  Everyone has different 'Qi'. I have friends who don't fall sick or have cramps unlike me who is a sick fragile person.  Just like acne, I wish that I can just use plain water for my face or do not need to deal with all these monthly pain thing.

Do let me know if you have any question for me or any tips that you want to share here. Thank you.

FOOD: DRAGON DEW CAKE (DESSERT FOR BEAUTY&ANTI-AGEING)

"When there is light, there is also darkness"

Here is a cake so black that you would think if it comes from the volcanoes.

This is the reverse Asian dessert of the popular 'Raindrop Cake'.

DRAGON DEW CAKE (DESSERT FOR BEAUTY&ANTI-AGEING)

DRAGON DEW CAKE (DESSERT FOR BEAUTY&ANTI-AGEING) 

DRAGON DEW CAKE (DESSERT FOR BEAUTY&ANTI-AGEING)

This is a food recipe for beauty and for health purposes.  I believe that one have to care about what you put inside your body besides caring about what you apply on your face.  Your skin does show the amount of effort you care for yourself.  After all, glowing skin is not just a one night miracle =) .

So, here is the Asian secret for cooling down the 'heat' inside your body and on a hot warm summer.

Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder

This is the powder I used to make the 'cake'.  There are many imitation out there because it is really famous in Asia and it took me back to a Hong Kong drama that popularize this herbal tea.  It is really good for the health and cool down the body.

Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder

It has taraxacum mongolicum (dandelion), smilax glabra roxb (tu fu ling or sarsaparilla ), lonicera japonica (Japanese Honeysuckle) .  No turtles kill in the process.

Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder packet

Ingredient:
1 packet of Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder (make sure it is original as there are many imitation out there)
250ml of water

Instruction:
1.  Take out two spoon of water from the 250ml water.  Pour in the packet of the herbal powder into the two spoon of water and stir until it is well mix like the glue.  Then, pour the rest of water into the cup and stir again.

2.  Next, boil the mixture just now on the stove.  Use low heat.  Make sure to stir slowly until the mixture turn thicker like glue and then quickly turn off the heat.  (Don't stir until it harden like a lump of jelly)

3.  If you like it sweet, then add in about 20 g sugar into the mixture.  If don't, you can don't have to add in the sugar.  You can serve it with honey later on.

4.  Then pour the mixture into the mold for it to cool down.  Don't use plastic because it is going to be toxic and it is not good for consumption.

5.  Once it cool down, put it inside the fridge and serve it cold.


So, overall do you like it?  It is a fairly easy to make herbal recipe for health and for dessert.  It is actually slightly bitter so children may not like it for sure and we usually eat it with honey or with the plum sweet XP. I am used to the slight bitterness because there are other way bitter things that I have tried before.  It is like eating jelly but with traditional medicinal herbal taste =) .



Products,
Guilinggao chinese herbal jelly powder, you can get the powder from Asian herbal stores.

REVIEW ON SHISEIDO THE COLLAGEN POWDER V

The boundary between food and beauty are really getting blurred with beauty in a packet of powder drink to make women look young. The demand for more effective beauty products triggered the emergence of beauty in form of food.

Shiseido collagen was one of the pioneer for many beauty supplements that came out after that. Thanks to collagen that ‘sunscreen’ pills, whitening pills, anti ageing pills and even ‘deodorant’ pills that make you smell like roses came out after that.

It was one of the most innovative creations in the beauty industry.  So, does collagen supplement really work?

So, here is my take on Shiseido Collagen Powder after trying it for three weeks. Please take it that I only use this as supplement.

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V 

It has very nice pink packaging =)

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V 

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V

Shiseido own cosmetic ingredients (lingonberry + Amla fruit), and a low-molecular fish collagen 5,000mg, hyaluronic acid, ceramide, the cosmetic ingredients such as vitamin C. Powder V type have suppressed the collagen-specific taste/ smell

There is zero lipid

21kcal / 1 day recommended dose (6g)
The usage is about 3 weeks with one spoon everyday


Per Tablespoon (6g):
Energy: 21kcal, Protein: 5.2g, Fat:0, Carb: 0.042g, Sodium:3~50mg, Vitamin C: 50mg, Collagen: 5000mg, Hyaluronic: 1mg, Ceramide:600ug

Size:126g
Made in Japan

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V 

It comes in a zip lock bag so it is easy for keeping. Becareful if you plan to pour it into container as the powder is very fine. It is almost like dust.

Some of the ingredients are patented. The collagen comes from fishes which is the best source of beauty food for skin. It is true that collagen will turn into amino acid inside the human body and so the effect will only show on your skin in long run. So, try not to expect immediate effect.

Shiseido The Collagen Powder V 

SHISEIDO THE COLLAGEN POWDER V

 This is how the collagen powder look like on plain water. Please do not drink with plain water or it will taste bad. XP


As for the taste, there is no musky or whatever weird taste to it. I use the given spoon to scoop it into my morning coffee. It becomes like creamer which is actually addictive XP. I really have to be happy that I don’t need to endure any horrible taste for beauty. After all, who wants to start their day drinking something awful?

There is slight smell of soy powder to it which is quite nice. I think this is far from the weird smell of collagen in the past.

The Shiseido Collagen powder does show its effect on me although I tried to deny the effects and wanted to praise the skincare products that I was using. I tried not taking it for 1 week and my skin show sign of deterioration-bigger pores and less smooth skin.

Skin is really smooth and pores are smaller. The skin does heal faster even when I pick on it. One of the reasons was the ceramide inside the collagen which is well known to help plump skin, hydrate and heal the skin as well as prevent damage to the skin.

It doesn’t do much for the clogged pores or getting rid of acne so it is not a miracle for all skincare concerns. However, no additional acne when I was on it. Skin is also brighter because of the vitamin C. I am not sure of the hydration part since it looks the same to me. I do like the smooth effect. If only those effect can last forever but nothing last forever right? As for lines, it just reduces the appearance but not gets rid of it.

I think collagen in powder is better than in other form. You can get the same effect by eating a lot of fishes but most of the time, it is not possible because of our lifestyle so there goes beauty supplement like this. Just do not rely on eating collagen alone.

Overall, try to have realistic expectation of what collagen powder can do. Shiseido Collagen Powder V does make my skin looks better than it is. Looking for fish goodness, ceramide, vitamin goodness in form of food or just want to try something new because you skin has ‘plateau’, do have a look at it.

Personally, I think this month subscription is catered more for subscribers in KL. Other subcriber from other states might felt left out of food items so I do hope that Cubecrate will substitute items with something equally of the same price as the Juice and cupcake are full items in the box and some might feel like the get lesser than ones in KL.

I truly prefer the amount of products and things in the March Subscription.
