FOOD REVIEW ON JAPANESE YUZU RESTAURANT KLCC

JAPANESE YUZU RESTAURANT KLCC

Tai Nabeyaki Udon 

Katsu Don and carrot Juice

The exterior of the restaurant look expensive and being at KLCC on a public holiday doesn’t help with the crowd.  Everywhere was crowded and it is one reason I do not fancy going to KLCC.  I had to wait for 20 minutes after making reservation and had to wait for another 10minutes before we got seated.

The restaurant is clean with simple modern furnishing.  It is quite and serene inside.  This made me felt like I was transcended to another place.  It is just that I preferred a more reserved place which is next to the table were seated.  It was empty for more than 30minutes I was there.

The service is fast the moment we were seated.  The menu is very details because even children can understand the food because there are pictures next to the name of the dish.  I ordered Tai Nabeyaki Udon because I prefer something soupy.  I was expecting that the udon to be smaller than the photos but I was shocked when the waiter place a portable butane gas stove on my table and a huge bowl on it.  It was a surprise that the udon was not small like the katsu don (rice) but then I was wondering if I could finish eating it.  I was stuffed by the time I finish eating the Tai Nabeyaki.  It contains fish, vegetables, mushroom and tofu.

 So, share with another person if you do not normally large portion.  The portion is twice the noodles one normally eat at mamak.  I think it is worth the price for such a delicious udon and on top of that at KLCC.  The udon is just nice and not chewy at all.  The tofu is really soft.  Nothing that I do not like about the udon.  Overall, good experience at it other than high price tag.

I am not sure how katsu don taste like since I am too embarrassed to ask for a scoop.  However, I am sure it is not bad but again high price tag.

Honey Dew Juice RM10.00
Carrat Juice RM10

REVIEW ON LC DERMA MOISTURISING SERUM 30ML

Hi everyone =)  .  How is your day?  Previously I wrote about the LC Derma CC cream and the 'plastic surgery' look.  If you have not visit it yet, head Here.  Today, I am going to introduce you to the moisturising serum that I am sure is suitable for the combination skin type since it doesn't make your skin oily at all!

 LC DERMA MOISTURISING SERUM

Stem Cell Hydra Moisturising Serum 

Optimal level of hydration to rejuvenate the skin 

We need to take care of our skin and keep our skin’s hydration level in optimum level in order to prevent our skin turn to uncomfortable condition: dry & flaky, scaling, itching 

and cracking. This formulation is non-drying to the skin and it gives you an intense sensation of softness to your skin. It is enriched with moisturizing complex that are kind 

to our skin and helps to keep our skin from drying out. It has excellent moisturizing effect and provides deeply improvement in skin hydration with its unique natural way. It is 

readily absorbed, providing intense nourishment and helps to preserve your skin moisture. 

With daily use of this specially designed non-greasy moisturizing serum, it helps to soften your skin, toning the skin from dryness and keep your skin smoother. Immediate moisturizing effect with a long term & sustained hydration belongs to you! Remember, “A good moisturization is a sustainable source of youth and beauty for the skin”

NO mineral oil 

NO lanolin

HERE

Ingredients list-Can you see that there is no preservative?

Very light good German bottle

The Germany bottle is airtight so that the ingredients would not get oxidized fast.  You can check the bottom of the bottle. There is word Mega+ written there.

Ingredients list-the color doesn't come off easily

can you notice the obvious differences?

I do like this serum becausel it doesn't contain ingredients that cause sensitivity and harmful to our skin =)  .  There is some sort of fruity smell that disappear after 10minutes.  I prefer using serum to moisturise my skin since serum is generally lighter than lotion, cream or emulsion.  They get absorb into the skin faster and doesn't leave a greasy feeling after that.  It doesn't clog the pores too since it the ingredients are mostly plant based and beneficial for the skin. Tocopheryl Acetate is actually Vitamin E that can moisturise your skin and heal it at the same time =).  That is why it is good for anti-aging too.  I sure do feel the difference with this moisturising serum in long run =)

My skin is sure very hydrated when using this minus those greasy feeling after that.  Oh, it is really useful to use a moisturising serum if you are using a lot of products for acne since acne products are generally drying.  The skin can heal faster when it is moist. You certainly don't need to pile your skin with too many moisturising products. I generally use RM0.10cent for my whole face since I don't need too much for my type of skin.

Overall, moisturising serum is worth investing in if you do not like using heavy moisturiser in a country like Malaysia where everyday is either rain or scorching hot.  The serum makes my skin silky soft and smooth to the touch. =).

FOOD REVIEW ON NYONYA COLORS MIDVALLEY

One need to line up and know the number of the table so it is better to get a seat first before lining up to make the order. They will send the order to the table later. The nasi lemak is wrapped with the banana leaves and it will be heat up for the customer unless you requested that you want to eat it cold. It is quite small but it is really tasty considering that a common food such as nasi lemak is also well-made. The rice smell of fresh coconut milk and the sambal is just nice. It is not too spicy or salty. The rice comes with half hard-boiled egg, anchovies and groundnuts. RM2.50

ABC

ABC is cooling especially on hot weather such as Malaysia.  There are generous of amount of cendol, jelly and also groundnut.  The cendol jelly is not fragrant but it soft.  The ice cream is really soft and melt quickly. Overall, this is average.

RM4

Pulut Panggang
Mini Green Ku - Mung Bean Fill
Talam

Pulut Panggang was not bad. The filling is not much but it is okay. The ‘pulut’ is a little hard but okay. Not that delicious but okay.

On the other hand, the mini green ku is actually tasteless. If not for the filling, it wouldn’t be edible. It is soft and quite bouncy. Just that I don’t find it particularly delicious.

The talam is sticky, tasteless and hard. I don’t enjoy this kueh the most. The green comes from colouring and not from real pandan leaves.

Mee Jawa

Mee jawa gravy is thick and a little salty but it goes well with the plain ingredients. The yellow mee is cooked perfectly that it is not too soft or hard and it goes so well with the jawa gravy. The portion is of medium size and I think that the prawn cracker that comes with is okay. Too bad that there is no prawn on the crackers or else it will be better.


RM14

Hi everyone, how is life treating you? If you are having stress and to add to that wound , having serious breakout, I can feel you! I really dislike it when I am suppose to look awesome and then suddenly a few zits on the face! Aren't you feeling the same as I do?

I was just out of all sort of acne products and this Shills Mandelic Acid essence just arrive to help me with my those pesky pimples that I think this product is seriously amazing awesome!!! It works fast too if you are using it correctly. I will tell you the do and don't later at the end of this post.


I have been having serious breakouts on the jaw line and it is that same part because I keep on pinching and hurting that area too much. I know, I just can't help it especially when I feel a bump on face during washing face with cleanser XP. I don't even know how my fingers gets to that bump =(.

side of the box

side of the box-list of ingredients

tops of the box and inside the box

Shills mandelic acid renew essence bottle. The bottle is made from black glasses so becareful

the Shills seal to show that it is original Mandelic Acid skin renew essence

the dropper with the colourless essence

I like the packaging very much.  It is looking so much like cosmeceutical products.  The black glass bottle is to protect the active ingredients from getting destroy from the sunlight! There is the dropper to control the amount of essence use and for hygienic purposes.

Mandelic acid is one type of the chemical light peel for skin =)  .  It is just like those salicylic peel, enzyme peel and glycolic peel on skin.  So, it is really mild on skin but one can still obvious effect on the skin.

Since it is in form of essence, it work and it wouldn't be too strong until our skin couldn't take it.  The essence smells flowery and does not smell anything acidic at all.  The smell disappear once the essence get absorb into the skin.  I love the smell very much.  Absorbtion rate is really fast

DO's and DON'T
1.  The products is actually very effective on its own so DO NOT use any AHA (alpha hydroxy) , BHA (salicylic)or retinol products when you are using Shills Acid skin renew essence.
2.  Please follow the instruction properly.  Use a hydrating serum or hydrating moisturiser.  NO pore minimizing, oil control moisturiser at NIGHT with this Shills mandelic acid!  Mist is NOT ENOUGH.
3.  NO SCRUB on you face.
4.  USE the Shills mandelic acid only at night.  ONE or TWO drops for an area. (cheeks, forehead, nose+chin).  DON'T USE TOO MUCH.
5.  During day, make sure you wear sunscreen or block and best to use some hydrating products if your skin feels dry.

This is an essence but it is in form of oil.  The oil is colourless and will just soak into the skin like water.  That is why it is called essence.  Seriously, I don't even need to massage the essence or anything.  It just disappear into thin air immediately leaving no trace at all.  Seriously, no even a hint of oil on the skin!  So, don't let the essence on your palm for more than 2seconds or else you would need to use more.  I use about one drop for one area so 3-5 drop is enough for the whole face.  I think one bottle could last me 3 months.

When I am using this Shill Mandelic Acid Skin Renew Essence, I don't even have bumps on my face!  It prevent the skin from having those bumps for even appearing which is super amazingly considering that it is just a drugstore product!

The results?  My skin is super super smooth after few days of usage.  On the first day, my acne is already disappearing and healing.  The skin texture is also turning to feel smooth.  This is one of the product that I will put in my list for acne prone skin that is a SURE MUST TRY product.  Just remember to really follow the instruction and the "Do and Don't"  .

Here is the results =)

results for four days =)

Can you believe the results?  Redness was gone immediately on the second day and the acnes shrunk by day four.  I think this is one product that many had overlook and it sure deserve more love =) .  As for the price, I think it is worth and cheaper since one can use it for 3months and IT WORKS!  What else can you ask for it?  Oh, gosh.  I keep saying how amazing it is but it really does works.  YES, I will buy this again =).

I can say the claims that Shills said about Shills Mandelic Acid skin Renew Essence is true and not just some gimmick to lure or cheat customers.

Product, Shills renew acid skin renew essence 30ml retails at Rm129 .  You could buy from Shills website , Shills outlet, Sasa outlet or online website such as Hermo and HiShop.

For more information, please visit Shills official website . Product is sponsored but I am not paid for my review.  The opinions expressed here are my own and truly honest as always.

SKINCARE TIPS: HABITS THAT CAUSE BAD SKIN

Of course, sometimes we do not realize what do to our skin and later on gets shocked by the amount of pimples or acne on our skin later. Then, we have to go crying to dermatologist or google up every day on how to cure acne. I had been through that phase before except the part of going to see dermatologist.

1. Keep trying and changing skincare products
This is a habit that really cause havoc on your skin. I didn’t realize that I was committing this mistake until some time ago.

I was having full blown acne and yet I keep changing skincare products within a short amount of time like 2 weeks. Used a new sets of skincare products, then change to another set after two weeks. Seriously, this can just destroy your skin since there are too much chemicals reaction going on your skin and your skin balance is thrown out of the window.

Sign of your skin is out of tune will be red skin, more acne or pimples popping out on your skin. Don’t try to use whole set of newly bought dermatologist claimed products to calm down your skin now. It won’t work.

You would have calm down your skin by either going to see the dermatologist, skin clinic or use real products such as seaweed, kelp, egg white or aloe vera. Do not try any skincare products at that moment except very gentle skin cleanser (no whitening, brightening, acne or deep clean cleanser).

I heard that one can use seaweed powder or seaweed to calm the skin. However, I couldn’t find it in Malaysia unless you ask your friend to get it from Sabah. The closest I can get for seaweed is the La Belle mud powder mask.

2. Trying skincare products that are not suitable to your skin type

This is another common mistake. We normally wanted the best for our skin but then we are easily blinded by so many skincare products, reviews and we usually wanted if possible fast result.  Thus it is easy to make the wrong choice.

Acne prone skin shouldn’t use skincare products meant for dry sensitive skin because it can clogged the pores and more pimples popping up.

That is why some would go and see a good dermatologist to know the products suitable for their skin type. So, understand your skin type and your skin condition.



3. Not knowing ingredients that can cause you reaction/ sensitivity

This is a no brainer. As we grow older, the skin reacted to different type of simulation. No everyone has the same reaction to the ingredients in the skincare products. So, only try one products at one time to know if you are allergic to it.

Next, avoid that ingredients that next time.



4. Too enthusiastic or too lazy to take care of your skin

This is of course a no brainer. No one would have a beautiful skin like a baby after 20 years old without taking care of it. Don’ trust your friend if she tells you that she only use that one cleanser and she have super smooth skin. They might be going to see the skin doctor or use special active products or tons of products behind your back. After all, most women in Malaysia do not like people to know that they are going through so much effort and money to have fabulous skin. They might even tell you they wake up looking that great. How I wish that is true.

On the other hand, if you are too enthusiastic on using too many products on your skin can cause disruption to your skin. Don’t over exfoliate your skin with scrubs, deep clean mask or cleanser. Nothing good comes out from being overboard so be moderate but don’t be lazy! If your skin is already fabulous, don't try to suddenly add some ingredients that said to fabulous into your skincare regime.  You might break out from it.


5. Not monitoring your food intake

You should know they type of food that can cause you allergy and food that can cause you acne. Of course you could eat them sometime but not everday no matter how much you like to eat them. I wrote about food that cause acne some time ago.


6. Not sleeping on time

I don’t know if this is true since I find that people who do not sleep on time tend to have bad skin. However, it is one of the factor that cause the skin to be bad and some dermatologist said sleep deprivation has nothing to do with acne. Well, I don’t know if that is true now but I am sure my skin look so much better when I have a good night sleep.

So, it is up to you to not believe it but it sure can cause trigger the skin to age faster.



So, now do you commit any of the skincare habits?

REVIEW ON THAI RESTAURANT IN MERSING

This is a new shop. Previously there was another name to it. I find that this shop is in Chinese and those tourist that comes to Tioman and they wanted to order beer but unfortunately none could speak or understand English.

menu is all in chinese

Even the menu is in Chinese and I have to order in Chinese or else I don’t get to eat. One has to be able to speak Mandarin or understand Chinese to make order in this shop. So, I find all the western tourists looks for the other Chinese shop nearby for beers.

I ordered a few dishes from this shop. The seating in this shop is comfortable. Service is quite fast too.

lo han kuo drink

starlight tofu dish

Three starlight taufu dish was also only okay. The dry tofu was too dried up as it was cooked for too long. It shouldn’t be cut into too pieces as it had made the tofu hard. The sauce was not bad as it was salty enough and does go well with the rice. Too bad the sauce was too watery as too much water was added into it.

sweet sour pork

 We ordered three dishes . The first sweet sour pork is okay. The pork is fried too crispiness but too bad the sauce soften the meat and the crispiness was lost. The sauces was not salty enough as it was bland. The vegetables accompanied it was cut into too big pieces.

Wong tai vegetables

Wong tai vegetables doesn't contain too much of chilies seed and it was not too spicy at all. The vegetables was cooked quite well. It was not too soft or too hard that the crunchiness was lost. I think it was the best vegetables among the three dishes served. I do like this dishes as it goes so well with the rice. Sauce was not too salty or too spicy.

wong tai vegetables RM 6
sweet sour pork RM 10
starlight tofu dish RM 8
lo han kuo drink RM1

REVIEW ON LA BELLE GOLD ESSENCE AND LA BELLE HYDRA ESSENCE

Hi, I hope everyone is having a good day =) .  So, here am I back with another review.

I wrote about the amazing La Belle Acnex ampoules and mask here so check it out if you haven't.

So, here I am to introduce you to few more types of essence.

becareful when open ampoule

Essence is not a toner since it contains active ingredients with specific reason for skin.  If you are unsure, Here is a post I wrote.

LA Belle Hydra Essence- Hydra Essence contains high concentration of H20 &HA as well as blended with natural herbal extract is perfect combination to hydrate and & rejuvenate skin. It locks moisture and restore elasticity of the skin, hence minimize wrinkle and give the skin a youthful appearance.



Overall, Hydra essence makes my skin more hydrated, moist and no feeling of tightness.  The fine lines on my forehead are not obvious when I frown.  The makeup adhere to skin which is more hydrated too.  My skin is more elastic.  Since I don't have wrinkles yet I am not sure how it will perform on my skin.

LA BELLE HYDRA ESSENCE

I said that I am in love with Acnex and also La belle Gold Essence before right?

La belle Gold Essence use 24K Pure gold leaf helps to slow collagen depletion and prevent sagging skin. It also assists in protection against pollution effects & damaging UV rays. Gold speeds up cellular processes and active regeneration to regenerate healthy, firm skin cells and reduce fine line & wrinkle.

LA BELLE GOLD ESSENCE

So, here is the Gold essence.  There is really gold inside the essence and it makes me feel like a princess using luxurious skincare on me =) .  The essence is just a little thicker than ampoule but it is also watery in texture.  Penetration is very easy and there is no oily residue left on the skin so be sure it is very comfortable in using them.  I love it because I don't like anything that is thick and oily.


 For better results, use it together with ampoules.  According to Cheryl from http://sweetampoules.blogspot.com, mix Eye Luxe ampoule with Gold  Essence and you will see the results within few days of usage.  Well, it is true and it works amazing to reduce the eye bag and dark circles.  My skin is much softer on the days when I am using the gold essence.

the results of using La Belle gold essence

Voila, can you notice the results?  Could you that my face and eyes area was much brighter. I was already out of the eye lux ampoule so I used the La Belle gold essence on its own.  I used it on my eyes since my eyes need this the most, more than other parts of my face.  My eyes actually look worse because I went camping.


They have special package from RM78 to Rm158 for different skin types . Check the link here

Essence range are from RM58 to RM70 per box depending on the type of essence. There is even a special bridal ampoules that is very affordable =). Do go to http://sweetampoules.blogspot.com and check them out.

SKINCARE TIPS: KOREAN SKINCARE TIPS 2

Hi everyone, I shared few Korean skincare tips and I am back for second post. Everyone wants a good skin =) . So this is what I had gathered after watching their famous beauty show up to now.

1. Using soda water to clean skin
This is quite expensive if you plan to use carbonated water every day. One can of soda water cost about RM1.60.  It is such a rave in Korea now.  There is even carbonated products in the market already.  I saw one bottle of Spritzer carbonated bottle is selling for RM3.90 in Malaysia.  It is said to deep clean the skin from dust.

2. Using spinach water to clean skin
Seriously people like me would never do this because I will usually end up eating the spinach than using the water on my skin. It is said to deep clean the skin.

3.Using sea kelp/algae to clean skin
This is know for cleaning and calming the skin. Just blend the kelp with water. Put a paper mask on the face and put the kelp on the face.  It is very hard to find algae in Peninsular but it is common in Sabah.  So, next time do buy some when you are there.
Again, I am too lazy to do it.

4.Using yogurt to clean the skin
Yogurt is good for skin but again it will just go into my stomach. OMG, so many things go into my stomach and I sound like a serious glutton.  Yogurt is good for acne prone skin because it has lactic acid. However, sorry I love food so much that it is better to go into my stomach.

5. Using watermelon to cool the skin
I know this from the Korean beauty show Get it Beauty. They use watermelon as mask. Ermm, again I rather eat this.  Into my stomach it goes. Too lazy to DIY.
Watermelon is known to cool down the body by cooling the skin by 3 degree which is the highest among other fruits =) .

6. Use CC cushion for more moisture
According to the test the beauty show did, CC cushion contains more moisture than BB cushion so it is recommended to use CC cushion for the moisture benefit.
I tried CC cream and BB cream and I found that CC cream does contain more moisture than BB cream.


7. Using Epsom salt with cleanser

I tried using Epsom salt with cleanser and it does help to clean the skin as well to calm the skin down. It doesn’t get rid of acne totally but it is antibacterial. I think some people use it as mask too.


8. Drink 2litre of plain water everyday
This is a no brainer for a beautiful skincare. There is even an article by Daily Mail of the miracle of drinking 3litres of water everyday and the skin look younger 10 years! Just make sure that your food plus your water intake reach about 2 litre. Yes, of course it works. =) So drink up. No pun intended.



Opinions expressed here are my own and honest as always.

REVIEW ON LC DERMA UV CC CREAM SPF 30

Have you tried any CC cream before?  It is a new craze after the BB cream and CC cream is sure different from BB cream because of skincare benefits that CC cream provides.  Korean makeup uses BB cream, CC cream and also CC cushion for their 'Oh so natural' makeup.

I have my fair share of getting into the bandwagon of CC cream.  Some was a hit and some are just not as awesome as I thought that it would be.  Let just say that when I saw this LC Derma UV CC cream SPF 30, I was not thinking much of it until I tried it and YES I am impressed.  Well, more impressed than some high ended CC cream.  Continue reading or jump to the end of the post to see why I am so impressed with this CC cream.

LC DERMA UV CC CREAM SPF 30 Box

First, there is no preservative in their products =) .  I find that almost every other CC cream contains preservative.  If you do not believe me, then check if there are paraben or other type of preservative.  This one doesn't have preservative that will hurt or cause allergic in the future!

can you see the word Mega+ ?

The expiry date is written on the bottom of the bottle.

You can take a look at the bottom of the bottle and noticed the word    'mega +' .  They are using Germany type of airtight bottle!  So, do not worry of the air going into the bottle and oxidized the CC cream.  

ingredients list at the back of the bottle

simple and easy to use pump type of cap.

The pump is easy to use and one can control the amount of cc cream coming out from the pump.  I need one pump for a light coverage.  Two pump would be enough for a full coverage on the days my skin isn't behaving that nice.  Don't be too greedy and use too much because it will brighten the skin so much that you would look too white.  The CC cream is actually looks good on its own because it doesn't oxidized on me at all.  The particle is so fine it glide on my skin.

Testing on the CC cream

Try this test to know how smooth is the CC cream.
1. Take an ice cube
2.  Rub it on the cc cream.
3. Voile.  See, it doesn't stick onto the cc cream no matter how hard I rub!  That shows how fine the CC cream is!

the results on my hands

The cc cream take some time to adjust to my skin tone colour.  I was at first shocked at how white it was on my skin but it change to my skintone colour.  It sure make my skin brighter than before.  It look very natural too.  The cream is really hydrating and it is not oily at all.  It sure doesn't cake up or run into the crease of the nasalobial line at all!  It also doesn't make my skin patchy by the end of the day so I find this is really good as most BB cream can make my skin dry.

before and after

Can you see the immediate differences? 

I think every skin types would like this very much as it make the skin moist and hydrated.  .  My face looks  a little oily on the T-zone after 4hours without primer but nothing serious that I can just bloat with a tissue.

One features that I love about this CC cream it that it is Waterproof and Sweat proof ! My skin virtually look like it is Photoshop in real life and no one knows about it.  Normally, CC cream will come off when I blot but this CC cream won't budge no matter how hard I rub it.  I love this waterproof feature very much.  Even when I blot it with tissue, the CC cream doesn't come out at all.  No one will know that you are wearing make up at all!

This CC cream works equally good and on par with all the counters brands =)  .Of course I would buy this again after I finish this bottle =) .

RANDOM: MOTHER'S DAY POEM

Mother's Day is coming and I am sure many people are thinking of what to give to their mother. =)

Have you got something for your mum?  Or you are out of idea on what to get your mum?  The list should be endless since many brands will come out with sets of skincare, makeup, bath sets and restaurant would have special sets for Mother's Day.

As for me, mother's day is everyday if it is possible but with making my mum fuming in between XP  .  I am not a perfect daughter hahahahaha.

Mother's Day is a day that we will avoid eating out, going out or shopping outside.  I don't mind paying the extra but the thought of waiting hours for food annoys my mum.  So, we usually celebrate few weeks before or weeks after.  Just going for dinner or something nice.  It only started few years ago so it is not a every year thing.  I don't get my mum flowers because she hates something that is not practical.lol

I wrote this for a competition but I don't even think that I will win or anything but well just sharing it here.

I envy my friends for being close with their mum,

My mum and I were just like cats and dogs,

I listen to Katty Perry but my mum listen to some Chinese opera song

I read The Star newspaper but my mum can’t

I like spaghetti but my mum only eats Chinese food

I am fond of fried chicken but my mum cooks me fishes

I watch English drama but my mum watch Hong Kong drama

I love dark blue but my mum hates it

In many ways we are not connected

But One thing for sure- We are connected by LOVE

My mum loves me unconditionally

She rushed me to clinic in the middle of the night

She stayed with me the whole night when I was having fever,

Learn to ride the motorcycle just to send me to school which is 1hour away,

Stayed firm that we must finish our school when financial crisis hit my family,

And trained us to be independent.

My mum is not perfect or educated

But I would not trade her for someone else.




So, what do you do for Mother's Day?
