CHINESE STREET FOOD TO TRY IN XIN QIAN SHUI WAN, TELUK INTAN, PERAK, MALAYSIA

Hi foodies,

Here is another place that I went for food hunt in Teluk Intan.  Restoran Xin Qian Shui Wan is a shop with many Chinese street food that only opens at night.  The price for the food is quite affordable but since it was in 2016 I just cannot remember the exact price for the food. Please excuse me since I can't remember much having too much to do and I am just not really an organised person.

There are many choices and everything is good in Restoran Xin Qian Shui Wan, Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia =).  So, here is the Chinese street food to try in Teluk Intan, Perak, Malaysia.  You can also something like this in Penang and other place since it is Chinese food XD.  I am recommending some of the food that I like.

Popiah Basah

Popiah basah is literary translated to wet salad.  People here just called it popiah.  This is not the fruit salad but it contains bean sprout, crunchy crackers, red sauce, tofu and vegetables.  It might look small on the picture but eating one is going to make you full. I really like because the sauce is very well blended with all the vegetables and it taste good although it is just vegetable

Laksa

Laksa here is one of the best in Teluk Intan.  It has the sweet sour taste with a lot of ingredients in it.  There is fish in it which is hard to find now.  If you like spicy, then laksa should be something to try.

Laksa

Prawn cracker and yam cakes

Prawn cracker and yam cakes. The yellow one is the prawn cracker which is also one of my favourite Chinese street food.  This is particular delicious.  The yam cake is soft and nice. Chinese Yam cake is unlike western cakes which is sweet. Chinese cakes are not sweet. They are mostly either bland, a bit salty or very tone down.

Prawn cracker and yam cakes

char keow teow

Char keow teow which is stir-fried ricecake strips which is really good.  It is the only one that I will eat with beansprouts in it because I dislike bean sprouts cooked in other ways.  The portion is small but it is really good and comes on banana leaves.  Make sure to try it when you are in Malaysia.

Ham chien or cockles omelette.  It is a pretty common Chinese street food which I usually do not eat since I do not like cockles.  I usually eat the oyster omelette or the lala omelette.  They are pretty good and smell good.

Luo han guo

Luo han guo (罗汉果) or the scientific name is Siraitia grosvenorii which is a drink for cooling the body. It is use as medicinal to treat sore throat and cough.  It is naturally sweet which is why I like it.

So, here is the shop that will open only at night. I am sorry that I couldn't take the best photo since everyone is starting at me taking photos.

TUTORIAL ON THE LATEST 2017 KOREAN WIRE NAILS ART TREND

Hi beauties,

If you are into the shattered glass manicures, 2017 nail art trend is about the wire nail art and recently is the neon manicure by Eun Kyung Park who is the founder of Unistella Salon and inventor of the shattered glass manicures.

I do like the wire nail art trend and am just sharing with you an easy tutorial which you can actually DIY at home.  Before you run to the store or kitchen looking for unused wires do listen to me first.  I am not a manicurist at all so this is not going to look as nice as done at nail parlor by professional. 

I do not have the cure machine or those tools for nails. If you have all that, it makes thing way easier.  I use eyebrow tweezers and my fingers, so you get why my work look rough.

So here is the latest  2017 wire nail art trend tutorial.

wire nail art

2017 Korean wire nail art trend

wire nail art trend 

Things needed: (really basic)

1. Wires (just recycle it from the stuff that you want to throw away. Some use stripping tape which is easier to work with)

2. Eyelash glue or glue for nails

3. Transparent nail polish

4. Cure machine (optional)

5. Tweezers (I use my eyebrow tweezers)

Wires

I used the wire from the computer mouse which I had thrown the mouse away long ago.

Wires 

 Instruction;

1. Just remove those bronze wire from their insulator. The one I use here is very thin and hard to work with.  If you have the cure machine then you can get a thicker one to work with.  The one that used is actually gold, silver and black but I only have bronze.  One I saw use stripping tape which is also easier to work with but I don't have it XD.

2.  Then, bend the wire into the shape that you want.  Here is the heart shape which is easier to shape into. Just make a loop and pull the two side down and twist it.

 These two are my most favourite design of all.

3. Here is some other shape that I did which is similar to Unistella design but in bronze.  You need to check out the size of your nail first before shaping it out. The cubism shape (Picasso) is the favourites and the most in trend.  The eyes, mouth and the heart shape looks weirdly nice.

4. Then apply glue and stick the pattern onto your nails.  I don't have eye lashes glue so I just stick it with nail polish.  It is a bad idea and not a smart thing to do.

5. Done.

So, here is my most beautiful and also ugly destroyed wire nails art trend.  XD

I am not sure if you can follow this. It is fun to recycle your wire from throwing them away and the feeling of satisfaction of looking at the Picasso art that you have probably wanting to do.

Honestly, to make things easier, get the ready made nail sticker or get someone else to do it for you.  It is way easier than trying to be Superly Sexy Wire bender to shape all that fragile wires into that eyes and mouth that you want.

*there is slight yellowish tint on my middle finger because I accidentally cut my finger the day before and having a band aid is not going to look nice.

REVIEW ON CURE NATURAL AQUA GEL

Hi beauties,

If you have preference for gentle exfoliating products to get rid of dead skin cells and to improve the texture of your skin without using those grainy scrubs then do have a look at this skincare products from Japan.

Here is the review on the Japanese Cure Natural Aqua Gel on which it sold 1 bottle every 12 seconds.

Cure Natural Aqua Gel

Cure Natural Aqua Gel bottle is made from plastic and the liquid inside comes out in form of thicker clear gel water which should be applied after cleansing on a dry skin.  Cure Natural Aqua Gel is made from 90% water so it is gentle to the skin for physical exfoliation. Although some people said it doesn't work and those are just gimmicks, I do think that it helps with exfoliation especially for people who could not afford those expensive luxurious brush and too harsh to use grainy scrubs.

If you are one of those people that generally doesn't work that well with chemical peeling that dissolving skin protein with strong acids (AHA, BHA, fruits acids, glycolic acids, etc.) then one can try Cure Natural Aqua Gel which removes those dead skin gently. There is no need to apply pressure to 'peel' the skin off. I just gently move my fingers in circle and if there are dead cells, it comes out in forms of tiny balls.

My skin does look smoother, brighter and softer after using Cure Natural Aqua Gel.  However, one with skin problem such as acne should avoid using it since it can aggravate skin.  Cure Natural Aqua Gel is for cleansing the texture from some dead skin cells trap on top of the skin.  It doesn't have any fragrance, colour and preservative so one can use on your body as well.

I use it once every week. It is not recommended to use daily since it is a waste of products to keep removing the dead skin every day.

I know that peeling gel get bad reputation that it is just some sort of balls and some people are still adamant about it being useless but then rave about having sheet mask doing miracles on their skin immediately which I think both doesn't have any true unbiased scientific studies on them.  I do feel that peeling gel is probably the same as clay mask that helps to reduce sebum and clean the skin better but of course it is not a miracle. So, there is my take on peeling gel.

Overall, Cure Natural Aqua Gel is a gentle physical exfoliator to brighten the skin.  However, not recommend if you have active acne on your skin.  The Cure water treatment cream is more suitable as a gentle moisturiser for acne prone skin since it is water based.

Features
7.98% Ginseng Extract
Formulated with 7.98% concentrated ginseng extract, the Ginseng Serum is designed to naturally enhance blood circulation to make your complexion look more lively while replenishing the necessary nourishments for healthier, younger skin.


6-year-old 7.98% Ginseng extract because ginseng extract is made with a moisture content of less than 14%, it is possible to store the taste, scent and active ingredients of ginseng in a concentrated state for a long time. Meticulous control of temperature, time and pressure is required until one ginseng is made into ginseng extract. Through this process, a new active ingredient unique to ginseng extract was discovered. The I’m from rejuvenating serum is formulated with the concentrate of high-quality ginseng extract at its purest.

From Geumsan County, South Chungcheong Province Korea’s Geumsan County is home to a species of Korean ginseng that has a history of 1,500 years. Due to its great natural environment, it has been evaluated as the ideal location to cultivate ginseng of the highest quality in the world. Geumsan ginseng contains about 30 various saponins, including ginsenoside, while western ginseng on the other hand contains only 13~15 kinds of saponin, which is half of that of Geumsan ginseng. The I’m from rejuvenating serum is formulated ginseng extract created from the best ginseng cultivated from Geumsan County.

** Ginsenoside : Contrary to Saponin, which is found in an abundance of various other plants, this is a component that carries special pharmacological efficacy, found only in Ginseng.

How to use
1) After cleansing, apply an adequate amount to the face, and spread out into a thin layer using the tips of your fingers.
2) After applying the serum, gently wrap the area with the palms of the hand and use the heat to help the skin absorb the nutrients.
3) Use daily at morning and night for best results.

Water, Red Ginseng Extract, Butylene Glycol, Betaine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycerin, Panax Ginseng Seed Oil, Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract, Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract, Angelica Gigas Root Extract, Rheum Palmatum Root Extract, Angelica Pubescens Root Extract, Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Bis-PEG-18 Methyl Ether Dimethyl Silane, Ethoxydiglycol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Tromethamine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Hyaluronic Acid, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Adenosine, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance

3 Promises of I'm from 

Ingredient Transparency - Honest Materials - No Harmful Additives

We at I’m from keep these three promises for each and every product we deliver to you.

I'm From Ginseng Serum bottle is in form of a dropper which is from a heavy glass. Glass is used because plastic will cause deterioration in ginseng.  The dropper also makes it easy to control amount of product. Just becareful and don't drop it to the floor.  It is expensive.

The ginseng from the I'm From Ginseng Serum is from Geumsan County which has the highest quality product of red ginseng.

I'm From Ginseng Serum

I can't help myself but I really love the smell of ginseng that it takes a lot of control to avoid consuming the serum which is actually meant for my skin.  The texture is liquid with viscous and has a brownish tint that turns transparent after absorption.  The serum does quickly absorb well into my skin and doesn't leave any residue. However, I don't think it will be enough to use it as the last product for those having dry skin type.  As for it, I find that it is hydrating enough for my normal zone and oiler T-zone.  The scent of ginseng does disappeared once the liquid dries so if one hate those earthy smell of roots or bark then it is good I guess.

I'm From Ginseng Serum does not sting or burn my skin no matter the amount I use. It also doesn't clogged my skin or cause me acne.  It doesn't get rid of acne if you have serious type of acne such as mine.  It does speed up the healing time of red acne scars and strengthen my skin barrier.  I also use it around my eyes.  It doesn't irritate my eyes area and help to firm up my eye area after four weeks of usage since I notice that my eyes are less puffy and baggy.

Traditional Korean ingredients for hanbang skincare such as Red Ginseng Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Panax Ginseng Seed Oil, Licorice Root Extract, Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract, Angelica Gigas Root Extract, Rheum Palmatum Root Extract, Angelica Pubescens Root Extract, Schizonepeta Tenuifolia Extract, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract are presented in this bottle of serum which really works well for my skin since I love traditional medicine.

There are some hydrating ingredients that help to firm up the skin such as Tromethamine, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Hyaluronic Acid, Glyceryl Polyacrylate, Adenosine. Some of these ingredients increase the skin ability to bind with water which is the source of firmness for young looking skin.  Still do check the ingredients provide above for potential allergens.


Overall, I'm From Ginseng Serum is for someone looking for a light anti aging product, has the love for traditional medicinal ingredients (Hanbang), have no problem with the ingredients and like organic product.

REVIEW ON HIMALAYA PURE HERBS NEEM AND HIMALAYA PURE HERBS ASHVAGANDHA

Hi,

Today I wanted to share with you some herbs that I have using to deal with acne, pimples, fungal acne and etc.

Himalaya Herbals is an Aryuvedic brand in India and it is commonly available in South East Asia.  I have been using Himalaya Neem Cleanser and their Neem mask for more than 10 years.  I mentioned about their products because I love some of them.  I have bought most of their product myself, don't ever get paid for saying it except maybe some products to review in the future.

Himalaya pure herbs Neem and Himalaya Pure herbs Ashvagandha are two products that I have been using and consuming to get rid of acne whenever they pop up because I do not have much time for skincare, the stress damage my skin and also I pick on my pimples T_T.

Not much is known about these two Ayuvedic herbs-Neem and Ashvagandha.  Compared to other ingredients in the market, there is lack of hype from the beauty world probably because it is plants and is not popularized.

review Himalaya pure herbs Neem and Himalaya Pure herbs Ashvagandha

Himalaya Pure herbs Ashvagandha is called as Indian ginseng but then it is unrelated to ginseng. Other name are poison gooseberry or winter cherry.  Ashvagandha is rejuvenating herbs and helps the body to combat external stress, protect immune systems, combat insomnia, anti inflammatory, lower blood sugar, lower cholesterol, reduce depression and improves memories.    With the anti inflammatory and reduces stress, it is used for hormonal acne caused by sleeping late and stressed.  It won't work on those big cystic kind of acne but will reduce the severity.  One is supposed to consume one capsules twice a day for 12 days and then follow by Himalaya pure herbs Neem.  Ashvagandha  is best ingested to reap the most benefits from it.  It does helps to reduce sweating and my insomnia.

Himalaya pure herbs Neem is a wonderful herbs to treat acne and skin problems.  Many find using neem works even for their most annoying acne problem without the burns that will happens with some other skincare products.  After all, Neem is anti fungal, anti viral, anti bacteria, sedative, anti diabetic and contraceptive.  It is not recommended for children and also not for pregnant women.  I was digesting it for a month and also use the powder to apply on my face.  It really works to get rid of my acne and prevent the area from infection.  If you have oil skin, it helps to remove those sebum and prevent the same spot from breaking out again.  You can remove the capsules for the powder but it is bitter so you might not like it. I love using the neem mask as spot treatment at night since it does not burn the skin and it is just pure neem powder.

I did not use other new products when I was trying out Ashvagandha and Neem to find out their effectiveness.  It is a good herb to add into beauty routine since it amplified the capability of the skin to get rid of acne. You do need to avoid spicy food and very oily food when you are using neem to see the best results.

Neem and Ashvagandha are sure great ingredients for acne prone skin.  These two are another products from Himalaya that I recommend acne prone skin to take a look because it is affordable.  I am really impressed by capability of neem powder and this is one of those magic potion made for acne prone skin.

Overall, I will recommend Himalaya pure herbs Neem and Himalaya Pure herbs Ashvagandha for those having acne, stressful life, insomnia and do not have much time for a long skincare routine.  Himalaya is vegan brands and it is 100 percent natural with no other added substance.
