PERAHU RESTAURANT @ AVANI SEPANG GOLDCOAST RESORT DINNER BY THE BEACH

Perahu is one of the highly raved restaurant at Avani Sepang Goldcoast. So of course, it's mandatory to visit this restaurant. Located quite a distance outside of Avani Sepang Goldcoast, it takes at least 20 minute to walk over there. Else you can always request the friendly bellboy or guards for van or buggy to send you over. 

Al fresco dining by the beach. Lovely decor of table.

Each table equipped with a standing fan to keep the mozzies away.

Beautiful view of sunset earlier.

Enjoying the breeze... 😍

The restaurant start operation at 6pm be sure to reach on time, so you could catch the sunset view. Sadly, during my visit it's kinda hazy therefore I'm not able to capture nice sunset pictures. Oh ya... it is advisable to make reservation as the seats are limited.

Cracking head on what to order is my ultimate role forever.... LOL

Complimentary sourdough bread serve with olive oil, vinegar and ... (Sorry, I don't remember) Freshly made bread taste the best.... 

Lobster bisque, goat cheese spring roll(Rm24) freshly pour out in front of my very eyes...  Average, not very strong of lobster's taste but milky enough. πŸ˜‹

Black cod fillet, sweet potato mash, charred jalapeΓ±o-basil vinaigrette (Rm70) Fillet is fresh but lack of seasoning taste. Only taste good when pair with the fish's skin else it taste kinda bland. Sweet potato mash is yummy though.

Pan seared red grouper fillet, spicy mango salsa & glaze, pesto baby potatoes (Rm80) Same goes for this grouper fillet, due to thicker fillet it's feels like not seasoned enough. Good thing is the fish texture and freshness is alright.

Bon appetite~~~~

Dinner overlooking this view feels like heaven! Lol

The decoration on the table turns out to be a solar table lamp as the night get darks.

Lemongrass creme brulee, citrus-ginger ragout, orange sorbet (Rm16)  Desserts presentation is pretty but taste wise is just alright! Not very good, but not that bad either. 😁

My verdict, average foods with excellent food presentation coupled with a great service with a smile. It's definitely worth to check out this place at least for once!!!

PEPITO HAIR STUDIO, KOTA KEMUNING


Love getting my hair wash here at Pepito as the stylist really massages and wash throughly. No rushing or quick wash here. Especially with my long long hair it take much longer time and most of the hair stylist is very patient washing and admiring my so called virgin hair. Yeah.... No chemically treated so it's virgin ya! LOL

Requested for a hair curl too as I planned to snap lots of pic during my short getaway to Avani Goldcoast Sepang. Usually, they charged Rm18 for additional hair curl service but that day Ms May the manager is being kind offering me FOC! 

Introducing the cute stylist Jason! Haha...

Jason the hair stylist did my curls using a hair straightener. Yes.... You heard me right, using a hair straightener he curls my hair. He got so annoyed of me repeated questioning him, he asked me to play with my phone and only check out end results. According to him, since my hair is too fine he will try this method for longer lasting curl. Ok laaa..... I trusted him then! He did manage to curls it into really small and bouncy curls. 

Pretty curl.... 😍

Sadly, the curl is not lasting. By 4pm it's started to get flattened. So quick! 😣

End of the day results πŸ˜‚

Seems this method does not works for my hair! Perhaps it will work better on not so fine hair. Anyway, I still highly recommend their hair wash skills. Btw, my hair wash cost me RM38.

You can find them here :

P/S: Currently they are having promotion of RM18 for hair cut, wash and blow for first timer during weekday!

PHILIPS IONIC STYLING BRUSH(HP4588) REVIEW


Hey lovelies! Got my hands on the Philips ionic styling brush that claim to make your hair smooth and shiny with great brushing experience. Wow.... No more frizzy and unmanageable hair! 

Ionic Care
This ionic styling brush has built-in ionizer, which generates negative ions and neutralize positive charge of static electricity. Helps to reduce frizz and bring back shine and smoothness instantly.

Gentle Bristle
All bristles tips are seamless to avoid scrubbing damage on scalp or hair trapping during usage. The special round ball tip has bigger touching surface so it's more gentle to vulnerable scalp.

Optimal 3D Large Cushion
The optimally designed bristle cushion enables better force distribution and follows the contours of the head naturally for more convenience and comfort.

Ergonomic Shape Brush
The seamless and ergonomically curved shell fits in women's hand perfectly ensuring great handling.

Detachable Brush Cushion
Bristle cushion can easily detached so that you may clean it with water regularly to keep bristle clean.

How to use :

1)The ionic styling brush runs on one AAA alkaline battery.
2)Turn on the ion styling brush by sliding the power on/off switch.
3)Brush softly your hair from the roots to the ends. Repeat this step several times.
4) Keep it in a safe and dry place. Do not expose under sunlight for long period of time.

Looks so lovely in pink rite?

This is how you brush it brush it.... 😍


RESULTS???

Right is after brushing with Philips ion styling brush. Hairs look more manageable.

Hair looks smooth and less frizzy. Not so sure about the shine though.

One thing though that caught my attention more are after brushing the bristles looks full of dirt. Mind you, even right after I washed my hair still I can see the bristle are dirty.

The ionizer really does it's work I suppose.

My verdict, this appliance really does help with styling smoother and more manageable hair. Not so obvious on the shine though.
IMO, the size could be better shape for easier handling or comes with a handle?

Do note : 
The ionic brush performs better when the hair is slightly wet. It's best to use the brush after washing your hair, dry until 70% dry. Do not over dry as it may affect the results. The time to comb varies according to your hair type and length!

MAYBELLINE NEW BIG EYES MASCARA

Hey, beautiful! There's a saying, that there's no ugly women, only lazy ones. A lady would look 10X more attractive and better with bigger eyes. Fret not, if you are not born with big round eyes, as with falsies you still can achieve the look. However, not all girls have the time or expert in putting on falsies. 


Luckily, Maybelline comes to our rescue. Maybelline Big Eyes mascara, is the brand 1st dual-ended mascara that lets you command complete control over your lashes to create 2X bigger eyes with just one sweep of the wand. Pink Fong, Marketing Manager of Maybelline New York Malaysia, explained during the product launch that the BIG EYES MASCARA is designed specifically to solve common problems women encounter when trying to achieve the 'BIG EYES' look. "One of the biggest concerns Asian woman face when using makeup is how to play up the eyes. Everyone wants to have bigger eyes, or the "BIG EYE" effect. However, many of us face the same problems, such as small eyes, droopy eyelids, short eyelashes, or even lashes that just won't curl properly, no matter how many times you try!" 

To solve these problems, BIG EYES Mascara provides the simple solution by offering 2 types of brushes; the Big Brush, with it's full bristles, is perfect for creating ultra-lush volume and 'push-up' effect on lashes; and the Micro Brush has an ultra-fine 2mm width that allows you to precisely brush and coat even the tiniest lashes, especially for hard-to-reach corners and lower lashes. Jojo Tan, Senior Product Executive of Maybelline New York Malaysia highlighted how to use the wonderful new mascara to get perfect big eyes instantly. 

I am ready for my BIG EYES!!! 😍

"Curl your lashes first and coat the upper lashes evenly with the Big Brush for dramatic volume - this addresses those with straight lashes, even if your upper lashes are short, you can use the Micro Brush to define them without smudging before using the Big Brush to build volume and create dramatic effect. To complete the look, use the Micro Brush to reach the inner corners and lower lashes - this especially helps when you have short, fine lower lashes or droopy eyelids. Regardless of the problem, the result is 2X bigger eyes!" she said. 

BIG EYES in the making... How do you like the end results? 

There are 3 types of look you could create to suit your needs using the product.

Models in action getting their BIG EYES

In conjunction with the roll-out of Big Eyes Mascara, Maybelline New York invited blogger fashion designer Kittie YiYi to style the models at the launch with outfits from her Pre-Fall Collection. Each of the models was styled according to one of the three Maybelline New York 'Big Eyes' look with her fun and quirky designs.

Caffe Bene, Jaya Shopping Centre


Visited Caffe Bene first outlet in Sunway Pyramid when it just open once. Thereafter, every visit or intention to visit is not likely to happen due to the long long queue. Gosh... I misses their bingsu so much! 

Boy, I am glad to see another branch Caffe Bene in Jaya Shopping Centre and best of all it's minus the queue. 

Happily ordered my mandatory coffee bingsu, decided to try out green tea bingsu too.

Coffee bingsu Rm12.80(single)
Green tea bingsu Rm12.80(single)

What is bingsu? It's like our shaved ice (ABC) top up with lots of nuts, red bean and a scoop of gelato.
How to eat bingsu? You will need to press the topping & gelato to the bottom of the bowl. Mix and stir well starting from the center. Enjoy~~~

After mixing it will look something like this

Yours truly very happy with the bingsu LOL

Plain water is available self service. Staff are friendly and attentive, greeting and thanking you in Korean. I hope this outlet continue to be no queue outlet! Hahaha....
