Kedai Makanan Rasa Lain 味不同海鲜坊 @ Bercham, Ipoh

Posted by Unknown Monday, April 29, 2013 0 comments

Hello readers! I know I have been posting about fashion and beauty recently but no worries, I still love my food! Here's one for you foodies :D

Discovered this restaurant during one of our family food trip in Bercham. Drove past this place a couple of times which was packed with people and we made a mental note to try out their food.

Food from the first visit. Forgot to bring my camera, hence a picture from my Instagram! hehe :P Foursquare recommended their homemade fishball which is very chewy/bouncy...worth trying! :) The cheese prawns and mushroom was yummy. However, the braised pork knuckle was a let down. What I would recommend is their smoked duck which to me is the best that I have eaten so far.

On our second visit to the restaurant, we called in advance to order their famous Claypot Crab with Glass Noodles. Yes, this dish needs to be pre-ordered! Almost all the tables ordered this dish as it is the restaurant's signature dish. Served with a generous portion of glass noodles and crabs, the broth was sweet and has a strong pepper and ginger taste. Would be a great comfort food especially when it is raining. Enjoyed eating the fresh juicy crabs too!

Claypot Cheese Prawns

Another signature dish which is served with sizzling goodness! Fresh prawn paired with sourish cheese is an amazing combination that helps to open up the appetite as well. Just by looking at this picture, my mouth is already salivating! I can't wait to go back and have more of this!

Stir fried vegetable...nothing to shout about.

Steamed tofu with soy sauce

Tofu texture wasn't soft. Have tasted better ones....

If you are ever in the area, do drop by and try their famous dishes! I recommend their smoked duck, claypot crab with glass noodles and cheese prawns :D If you don't fancy noodles, you can order the claypot crab with rice. Do call to order in advance to avoid disappointment :)

Timeless Truth Instantaneous Brightening Cooling Mask Review 極透瞬白冰沁面膜

Posted by Unknown 0 comments

I recently joined Plus Size Kitten's Guinness Mask Review and Timeless Truth Malaysia was involved with this project! I have been seeing good feedbacks from beauty bloggers regarding TT masks and I am glad that Timeless Truth Malaysia has selected me as one of the bloggers to review their mask (⌒▽⌒)☆

After checking out the full range of mask on their website, I was quite interested in purchasing their other mask like collagen, royal jelly etc! Oh well, I shall drop by MaskSlim to stock on some TT Mask soon :) Back to the review!

There are directions in English if you don't know how to read Mandarin :) The steps are:

1. Cleanse face.

2. Open sachet and take out the mask.

3. Adjust mask over the face and position it well :)

4. Press the mask lightly with your hands so that it adheres completely.

5. Remove mask after 15-20 minutes and massage the remaining essence into the skin.

The direction also mentioned about stretching the mask to ears but it doesn't have the gap to hold the ears for a face lifting effect. So I just use it as it is, since it doesn't reach my ears anyway. My face is huge! hahaha...

Neatly folded mask with plastic sheet. The mask is soaked with loads of essence and after separating the plastic sheet and the mask, I use the plastic sheet to apply some essence on my elbow and knees since it is under the moisturizing range. Don't waste :P

Problem areas of my skin are usually the T-Zone. Pimples are also popping out since the weather has been erratic lately. Super hot weather has caused my skin to breakout (。┰ω┰。) Before opening the mask sachet, I popped it into the fridge for about 30 minutes. My skin loves the cold feeling of the mask when applied on (*^▽^*) Even better, this cooling mask has a minty scent and sensation! I feel refreshed when breathing in the minty scent plus my skin enjoyed the cooling sensation!

My skin feels so well moisturized and hydrated after putting on the mask! After removing the mask, I squeeze the remaining essence from the sachet and massage it on my skin :D

Before and after of my skin. My skin is not that bright in the 'after picture'...it is just the angle. But what I am showing you is the pimple scar that I have gotten from popping the whitehead. It was lightened slightly and I was happy about it :) Same goes to the headless pimple on my chin...after an hour doing the mask, the size reduced and I am not exaggerating. Of course, consistent use of the Timeless Truth Mask is needed for better effect!

Feeling happy after using the Timeless Truth Instantaneous Brightening Cooling Mask!

::Vintage Summer::

Posted by Unknown Sunday, April 28, 2013 0 comments

I like to play with different themes and concepts when organizing an outfit and shoot. This shoot, in particular, was inspired by two instragram competitions I'm currently trying to win. The first is a paid round-trip to Marquee Club in Las Vegas, and since my fist-pumping dance days are quickly coming to an end, it was just too tempting to pass up on. Submissions for this contest required a summer concept, but I didn't want a cliche summer day or afternoon at the beach.

The second competition is for a men's fashion magazine that required a summer themed photo with a fedora. When I think of a fedora, I think hot Southern summers or vintage Havana, so I thought this would be a great theme for both competitions. To add to the vintage feel, I shot this lookbook in a stylized form.

Thank you for reading and wish me luck.

Fedora: J Crew
Shirt: J Crew
Pants: John Varvatos Star USA
Shoes: Cole Haan
Pop: Coca Cola

Traffic live Fashion Show 2013

Posted by Unknown 0 comments

It was all glamour at the recent Traffic Live Winter Fashion Show in association with Blackberry last Monday. Welcomed by beautiful ladies in black dresses and a delicious cocktail, it was sure to be a stylish event. Held at the beautiful Shimmy Beach Club, the night was filled with beautiful people dressed in the latest fashion and trends, local celebrities and media.

Shimmy Beach Club is a glamorous venue with a gorgeous ocean-front view. Paired with luxurious furniture, decor and delicious food and drinks, this is surely the place to be if you are part of the Cape Town clubbing scene, come summer. The event was hosted by the lovely Josie from 2OVfm and Traffic stepped it up this year with a beautiful catwalk in the middle of the venue.

The Traffic brand has always been spot on trend and known for its street style characteristics. This collection was no different. The outfits were all very well put together and ranged from casual to sophisticated evening wear. Each look had something special that stood out and everything looked very comfortable - except for those (really) short dresses! ;)

Personally I find that Traffic Fashion carries a certain confidence and attitude to all its collections. This year, their winter collection showed just that: a brand specifically for young people who portray confidence and that certain "street-style attitude".

I was especially fond of the colours used. Grey with bright neons, cream and white, dark, ruby red and khaki green. The outfits were paired with some beautiful necklaces, scarves and other accessories. I loved the detail on each of the outfits - studs, sequins and collar clips. Handbags shown were by Blackcherry and shoes by Madison Shoes.

It also seems as if this winter we will see a lot of layering again. Layering colours and textures, to create that perfect winter look.

Traffic Live will be launching its
e-commerce business later this year, so watch out for that if you
live out of Cape Town. Find Traffic stores in Long Street and Canal Walk.

Happy Shopping!
