Kiehl's Product Review

Kiehl's is definitely a brand that is famous for their generous sampling. I first encounter this brand two years ago when I had REALLY terrible acne despite not being a hormone raging teenager anymore. Cellnique's products used to work miraculously combating all my annoying pimples until my skin got a little sensitive towards their products.That was why I switched some of my skin care products to Kiehl's. Ever since then, I have been a big Kiehl's fan.

Anyway, being a Friend of Kiehl's means that you get 10% off on your birthday month. Perfect timing this month for me to buy some of their products. What's even better is that you get free birthday gift! 

Looks like its a lot of goodies that I have gotten right? I actually only purchased TWO items. Two of them are birthday gifts and the rest are samples. Now on to the product review.

Bankara Ramen @ Avenue K Review

Spotted Bankara Ramen at Avenue K few months ago when I was there after a meal at Wondermama X. I looked online for some reviews and it seems to be quite a good ramen place so I know I have to try it myself. Bankara  Ramen is located just beside the escalator on Level 2.

Ramen Taiko Japanese Cuisine @ Mon't Kiara Shoplex Review

Ramen Taiko is hidden gem within the Mon't Kiara area. Located just nearby the 1 Mon't Kiara shopping mall is the Mon't Kiara Shoplex where Ramen Taiko can be found. Trees are planted around the shoplex, giving a relaxing vibe.

Entrance from the inside

There are two entrances to this restaurant. One from the front facing the main road, another from within the centre shoplex. Both equally beautifully decorated.

Sg. Besi Wan Tan Mee Review

On some days, I just crave for some good wanton noodle (a.k.a wan tan mee a.k.a. wantan mee). Which spelling is the right one? That is a hard question. A plate  of good wan tan mee need to be springy and chewy and not to forget the tasty dumplings.

This stall has been around for many years in Sg. Besi. Although it is no longer the hot new thing in town, their business is still really good. Wan Tan Mee Sg. Besi is quite easy to locate as it is just along Jalan Sg. Besi. Parking space is also available beside the stall but do keep in mind that parking spaces are limited.

Nadeje @ One Utama Review

Nadeje is a crepe cake place originated from Malacca which already expanded to the vicinity of Petaling Jaya. I wonder why did they open 3 shops all within PJ area and not venture into areas like Bangsar or Mon't Kiara. I always love the crepe cakes from Mille Crepe by Vanilla Cakes in Paradigm Mall. Passing by Nadeje in One Utama almost every week, I finally step foot into their stall to have a try of their crepe cakes.

The Ais @ Damansara Utama Review

Scrolling through Instagram one fine afternoon, I saw some really CUTE pictures with location tagged at The Ais. Without any hesitation, I went on Google and search on The Ais which what seemed to be another Artisan Ice Cream place in Uptown Damansara. I know I have to go there and check it out myself. Girls like me can NEVER get enough of cute looking food.

Apparently, they are undergoing some renovation so we got in through the side door. Excuse the pack of snack which some stranger left there.

Hokkaido Santouka Ramen @ Pavilion Review

Ramen outlets have been sprouting in the KL food scene. Before this ramen craze started, I have never liked ramen because those served in Japanese restaurants are not good at all. Surprisingly, I have occasional ramen crave especially on rainy days. What better than slurping  into  hot bowl of ramen?

I am sure some of you have heard of Hokkaido Ramen Santouka, a ramen placce located in Pavilion's Tokyo Street. This ramen place is quite popular actually on the internet so I know I need  to try it. Maybe I will find the best ramen here in KL?

Lets Talk Contact Lenses

Wearing spectacles are something that I pretty much hate. Not only because they don't make me look good, they are also troublesome when you need to move a lot. I have worn various brands of contact lenses both soft lenses and coloured lenses/circle lenses since I started wearing them more than 5 years ago.

This post will be on monthly disposable contact lens. Hopefully the information will be useful to some of you out there especially newbies to contact lenses.

Bausch & Lomb SofLens 59
This is a the most common monthly disposable contact lens that is easily found in almost all optical stores in Malaysia. Priced at around RM60++ per box, it is very affordable. There are 6  pieces of contact lenses in a box. The material of this contact lens is Hilifilcon B.

Air Optix Aqua
This is the monthly disposable silicon hydrogel contact lens from Air Optix which can be found in some optical stores. It comes in 3 pieces of lenses in box and sold around RM60++ as well.

CooperVision Biofinity

Another silicon hydrogel contact lens but not as commonly found as Air Optix. There are 6 contact lenses in a box and priced at around RM150. I found out about this contact lens from a optical store in One Utama when the optician highly recommended this to me. 

Tanoshii Dezato @ Tropicana City Mall Review

It has been a few months since I step foot into Tropicana City Mall. Yesterday, I stumbled upon a cute dessert stall on the Lower Ground floor of the mall. Tanoshii Dezato is a stall selling Japanese Taiyaki which is a fish shape snack with stuffing and ice cream on top. Cute shape snack with ice cream? I am SOLD!

Real Food @ 1 Mon't Kiara Review

Real Food is a vegetarian cafe which also sells vegetarian groceries. This Singapore cafe also expanded their business in Penang with an outlet in Straits Quay before stepping foot here in Kuala Lumpur as well. This cafe is not only meat-free but their food are also free from processed ingredients, artificial preservatives and also trans-fat.

Softsrve @ Damansara Uptown Review

Ice cream parlors are pretty much dominating the dessert scene in Klang Valley. Softsrve joined the hype a few months ago with its store opening in Damansara Uptown. Looking at its name Softsrve, you would already know what is it serving: soft serve ice creams. It is softer than regular ice creams for those who don't know. Or put it in simple words, it is a fancier version of McDonald's RM1 ice cream which also served with dry ice for the extra  OMMMPH effect.

Can you spot the dry ice effect? No? Look closely.

Ashley's by Living Food Bangsar Review

Ashley's by Living Food is all about healthy, clean eating. This restaurant is jam packed with patrons during lunch and dinner hours although it serves a niche market. Vegans, vegetarian, pescetarian, or meat eater, rejoice as they have something for all of you. You don't often find places serving quinoa but Ashley's have it for you! If you have not heard of quinoa, it is a type of highly nutritional grain and it is gluten free as well! I have been cooking quinoa at home myself many months ago to substitute rice and pasta.

This is quinoa. 

Enough of quinoa now. Located along Jalan Telawi 3, it is pretty hard to find parking here as there are many other famous eateries around here as well. Good luck on finding parking.

A very clean looking signboard.

By the way, it is located just beside Inside Scoop. Yummy. I LOVE their ice creams! During our visit, we had to wait around 15 minutes for a seat since the restaurant was full. 

K-Palette Eyeliner Review

I first discovered K-Palette when I went into a Sasa outlet many many months ago. It seemed that their eyeliners are really long lasting and popular according to the salesperson from SaSa. I was a fan of Dolly Wink  eyeliner previously especially with their cutesy design. Since I am kind of bored with their eyeliner, I thought why not try this other brand? K-Palette is a brand from Japan if you are unaware of, just like Dolly Wink.

SK-II Products Review

Who hasn't heard about the oh-so-miracle SK-II products claiming to be the fountain of youth to women around the world? Its renowned Pitera ingredient is their star in their products. SK-II is endorsed by many celebrities be is Western or Asian. Any woman will want to own this product since most of us are pretty vain nowadays especially with the influence of social media.

One day, I was just walking in Publika with my beloved mother and there come a guy dressed in suit and tie handing us fresh roses. Yeah. It turned out that there is a SK-II event held there and they hired a few good looking dudes handing out roses to ladies promoting the event. Out of curiosity, we went to take a look. Since the products were on promotion, I ending up getting a simple set just to try.

Fast forward the whole story, many months later I am here writing a honest and truthful review on how the products did for my skin. I hope you will find it useful.

Jersey Jack Gelato Review

I love ice cream. Again, who doesn't? But I am always eager to try unusual ice cream flavours. The nasi lemak gelato by Cielo Dolci is quite well known among foodies but have you ever heard of salmon and wasabi gelato? Yes you did not read wrongly. Salmon, the common fish in western and Japanese cuisine and wasabi, the green thingy you eat with your sushi. This peculiar flavored gelato is available at Jersey Jack Gelato, a hidden ice cream parlour located in Bukit Bintang among rows of  really old houses.

The Good Batch @ Damansara Uptown Review

The Good Batch has been around for quite some time and it is still a hot cafe with loads of patrons. Breakfast items are what gave The Good Batch such popularity. Recently, they revamped their menu to give their dishes a better spin. Lets proceed with breakfast for two, shall we?

Hello Kitty Gourmet Cafe Review

Even before its opening, Hello Kitty Gourmet Cafe have been causing a lot of hype on the internet. I, a girly girl of course was super excited ever since I heard about it. This is the first Hello Kitty Cafe ever in Malaysia! I wanted badly to go during the day but too bad I only managed to visit this cafe at night. Well, the cafe is still pretty at night with its pinkish decor. You can easily spot this cafe from outside of Sunway Pyramid. It is just beside Cafe Benne.

Hello Kitty Tissues

Apparently, there is two floors at this cafe. The ground floor is for those having cakes and tea while the upper floor is for main meal. We went there for our dinner so we were told to head upstairs. But before I went upstairs, I took pictures downstairs. 

Seating area on the lower floor.

Cafe Lafayette @ Damansara Uptown Review

Cafe Lafayette is quite a new boy in town located in the competitive Damansara Utama Uptown area. Many cafes  have been sprouting here and Cafe Lafayette  is one of them. This new boy is pretty popular in social media like Instagram and Facebook. No reason not to pop by this first floor cafe. Take the flight of stairs up beside Fat Spoon Cafe and there you are!

Etude House is a store I love going into all the time thanks to its pinkish decor. I just cannot resist myself especially when they have BUY 1 FREE 1 SALE!!! OHMYGAWD!!!!!! Ok enough of blabbing here. This review will be about their Precious Mineral BB Cream Cotton Fit, Correct & Care CC Cream Silky, and Precious Mineral BB Cream Blooming Fit. I have been using these three products for quite some months now so I hope my review is useful for other girlies out there :)

Cubs & Cups Cafe Review (Pet Friendly)

Pet friendly cafes seems to be mushrooming in the recent months in Klang Valley. One of the hottest is definitely Cubs & Cups located in Desa Sri Hartamas. This is a cafe run by Koreans BTW. Having a toy poodle myself means that it is A MUST for me to bring this cheeky fella to meet some new friends.
