Indonesian Layer Cake by Vanity Kitchen

Hello! Introducing an Indonesian all time favourite, Indonesian layer cake or better known as kek lapis which has an interesting spice flavour and texture. Sometime just before Chinese New Year, Michelle from Vanity Kitchen sent me a spice flavoured Indonesian layer cake to sample.

My first impression, I love the consistent thin layers of the cake. Took a bite and the taste just impressed me further. Though this is the spice layer cake, it is not overly strong with the spice aroma which is a huge turn off for me. IMO, the mild spice aroma bring out the cake rich flavour. It was not overly sweet too but I do find it a tad oily. Perhaps due to the high content of egg?

If you love layer cake, I would highly recommend you to try this one by Vanity Kitchen. The Original Layer cake is priced at RM90 for 1kg and RM170 for 2kg. They also have other flavours such as prune, chocolate and cheese. Min 3 day pre order is required as all their cakes are baked to order.

Happier Hour Promotion @ HealthLand Wellness Center

Last month, I was invited for a pampering good time at  HealthLand Wellness Centre with a few of my blogger friends.

HealthLand aims to promote a holistic lifestyle by offering its customers the finest and most affordable wellness solutions.

We first had our hand paraffin treatment at Amante. Our hands are applied cream before dipped into the warm paraffin wax. Then, our hands are wrapped in cling wrap for about 15 minutes. After the wax is removed, hands feels softer and moist. 

Before we begin our foot reflexology, our feet are washed first. 

Entering into the foot reflexology treatment hall feels like going into a mini cinema.

Foot reflexology helps to improve blood circulation and boost our organ functions. I love the moderate pressure applied on my reflex points by the therapist. It was relaxing and I truly enjoyed the session.

There's also a movie playing in the room with headphones provided for privacy. So if you are not into watching the movie, just close your eyes and enjoy the massage. Which is exactly what I did! :p

Elegant and warm ambiance.

Next, we are ushered into the massage room for our Thainess Oil Massage session. The therapist applied body oil and begin light stroking followed by kneading and acupressure. The one hour massage then ends with a good pull and stretch which is relaxing and I felt energized too.

After our relaxing massage session, we have our tea break at One + Another cafe which is located in Healthland. 

The cafe serves cakes, pastries and beverages like coffee, tea and fruit juices.

It was a superb pampering session with the friendly and experienced staff. Do you know all the therapists are professionally trained by the acclaimed Wellness Academy, which is incorporated by the Ministry of Labour.(Thailand) Wah... you don't have to be in Thailand to experience the luxury of Thai massages.
