Rail Canteen @ Sunway Nexis, Kota Damansara

Do you know Kluang Station Kopitiam has the most lip-smackingly good local delights? Well the good news is, today, you need not travel all the way to Kluang for your foodie adventure. Rail Canteen has been brought to Sunway Nexis, Kota Damansara and is operated by the 4th generation of Kluang Station Kopitiam founder. 

One of the highly recommended has to be Nasi Lemak Ayam Berempah RM12.60

Fragrant coconut milk rice served with crunchy anchovies and peanuts. The whole chicken leg is deep-fried to perfection and full of spiced aroma.

Meehoon Siam RM6.50

Zesty and spicy old school fried rice vermicelli, so awesome and appetizing.

Here at Rail Canteen, you are given an option of 5 different types of in-house made sambal to go along with your dishes. From sambal udang, sambal ikan bilis, sambal bawang, sambal kerang and sambal sotong. It can be fire on your tongue for some, but I find it just right for my preference.

Mee Kari RM11.50

Curry lovers, you definitely have to try this. Not a fan of curry mee, still I find myself digging in for more all because of the rich and flavouful broth goes so well with the noodles.

Mee Rebus RM11.50

A tad sweet and lack of flavour for my preferences.

Rendang Kambing RM9.00

Fork tender meat, good to eat with steamy hot plain white rice.

Hainanese Chicken Chop RM16.90

Generous portion of boneless whole leg deep-fried so crispy outside, yet soft and moist inside.

Bun Sambal Special RM4.50

Roti Bakar RM3.50

Kopi Ais Rm3.80

Ice Dragon Passion RM6.80 (Must try)

Ice Honey Passion RM6.80

Kopi Chendol Ais RM4.90

This is one interesting combination that may not please everyone. It's definitely a 'yes' to me, while my friend feels otherwise.

3- Layer Ice Cream RM9.80

My verdict : Affordable, traditional foods that are awesomely good. Love the simple interior decor that reminiscent the original Kluang Station Kopitiam.

Finally, it's here..... Samsung Galaxy Note5! Back in 2011, when the first Galaxy Note was unveiled at IFA it has taken the mobile nation by storm. Since then, Samsung has made improvements to create the most advance Note in its series today.

Today, Samsung Malaysia Electronics is proud to commemorate the Galaxy Note5 marking its 5th anniversary of the Note Legacy. The media launch was held in Sunway Pyramid with Mr Lee Sang Hoon, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics.

Mr Lee Jui Siang, Vice President, Mobile, IT & Digital Imaging, Samsung Electronics Malaysia introduces the Samsung Galaxy Note5 new features.

Note Legacy

In 2011, the original Note started a mobile revolution and a new standard in the smartphone culture. The following year, Samsung worked with Yuna to create and compose her first ever music video, Sparkle, which was shot and animated entirely on the Galaxy Note II.

Aaron Aziz(actor, director & singer) continues to build the Note story with his involvement in 2013, where he inspired Malaysian fans to widen their horizons and follow their dreams through his notes.

In 2014 creativity was then seen at its finest when Puan Sri Tiara Jacquelina(Award winning producer, actress and passionate arts advocate), Lynn Lim(TV Host, emcee & writer) as well as Jinnyboy & Reuben(Youtube sensation combo) took the S Pen functionality of the Note4 took to greater levels of productivity and shared with us their personal 'live' arts.

 Youtuber - Jinnyboy  & Reuben

Samsung will be embarking on a series of activities with the five personalities in the upcoming months.

Samsung Galaxy Note5 is now more stunning, powerful and personal than ever with the 5.7 inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display. I am so impressed of its ergonomically fits in one hand, a narrower bezel and curved back. Using the phone with one hand is possible now even for a lady.

The Galaxy Note5 also feature Samsung's fast wired and wireless charging technology. It is compatible with virtually any wireless pad available today. With wired charging, fully charged (90 minutes) and through Samsung's latest wireless charger, fully charged (120 minutes).

'selfie' is more fun with the 5 MP front camera that comes with built in beauty mode filter and 16 MP rear camera for crisp and clear photo even in low light condition.

S Pen is more solid and offers a unique clicking mechanism of popping the S Pen out with just one quick click. Users can now quickly jot down ideas or information when the screen is off without even unlocking the phone. How convenient!

With the best screen technology, the most advanced camera for high quality photos and videos, the latest fast wireless and wired charging and an incredibly powerful processor, the Galaxy Note5 offer the most powerful capacity and processing power in the market with the increased of 4GB RAM.

Amazing Hair Makeover @ Andy Ho Haute Coiffure, Pavillion Kuala Lumpur

It's September! Time for a hair transformation. Good hairstyle not only enhance the personality and beauty, it also transforms a person from a simple average to confident and mysterious. I had the privilege to be invited for a haircut by Mr Andy Ho himself. Andy Ho is Malaysian top hairstylist who mainly caters for celebrity and upmarket range of customer. So you could imagine my excitement when I finally get to meet the hair guru in person. I went to his salon, Andy Ho Haute Coiffure in Pavillion last weekend. It's my second visit to the salon after the La Biosthetique scalp treatment about two months ago.

So upon seated,  Andy asked me the question. What are you expecting? Do you prefer long or short? Well, my answer obviously makes him smile. I'm ready for a change. I would go for SHORT! :D

And then, he began to snip it off......

Ohhhh... Goodbye long hair. Till we meet again. :D

Andy busy snipping away while I'm busy snapping pic. Hehehe....

Just look at how serious he looks. I love how he cut in details patiently, paying attention to how my hair would fall to enhance my face and feature. Frankly, it is the longest time I spent just for a haircut. Not that I'm complaining! It's so worth it.

Taa daaa..... After the haircut. I'm in love with this short BOB style. 

Next, Andy mentioned he will touch up my roots and maintain my current hair colour. I requested for a different colour which he feels would suit me. But of course, nothing too vibrant in the nature of my work. So here I am, clueless of what the colour would turn out. Come to think of it, I was such an adventurous.

After almost half a day in the salon, this is the final outcome. 

Under natural sunlight. So how do you like my new hairstyle?

Thanks Andy Ho for the amazing hair transformation. If you are bored of your current hairstyle or in need of a change, make your appointment with him now. I assured you won't regret it!

Olaplex Single Treatment @ Nekderx (Review)

Hi, ladies! Today, it's a norm for a girl's tresses to be chemically treated in some way. Chemical treatments are a regular part of beauty routine, be it highlights, bleaching, colouring or even perming or hair relaxer. While chemical treatments give you an opportunity to try different looks, you'll also risk damaging your locks too.Thanks to the hair experts at Nekderx, all these worries can now be resolved with Olaplex.

What is OLAPLEX?

Olapex is an insurance that you can take your hair to levels never thought possible before without the usual damage.Push your treatment to new limits without having to damage your hair.

Olaplex multiplies bonds in your hair making hair stronger, healthier and more vibrant than ever.
The Olaplex Bond Reparation System works great with keratin treatments. By using this beforehand, hair will be silkier, softer, shinier and stronger. Hair will also be more flexible and resistant to breakage. It is important to do this before beginning a keratin treatment as Olaplex penetrates hair from within to strengthen. Due to these treatments smoothing and sealing the cuticle, it is recommended to do the Bond Reparation System beforehand.

Hassle free, Olaplex Bond Multiplier is directly added into colour or lightener then Bond Perfector after rinsing the colour from hair.

That being said, I had the opportunity to experience Olaplex single treatment on my bleached, coloured and permed hair. My hair stylist Christine began the treatment with a soothing scalp massage, followed by shampoo to cleanse residues thoroughly.

Olaplex Single Treatment

Step 1 : Suitable for wet or dry application. In my case, it is wet application.
Step 2 : Mix Olaplex No 1 Bond Multiplier with water.
Apply from roots to ends on damp towel dried hair. Saturate hair and comb through well. Leave on for a minimum of 5 or more minutes.
Step 3 : Without rinsing, apply a generous amount of Olaplex No 2 Bond Perfector and comb through once. Leave on for a minimum of 10 or more minutes.
Step 4 : Rinse, shampoo and condition as usual.

Final Result :

Silky and shiny hair.
Hair feels super soft and manageable, it even binds split ends back together. 

For home care, I was given the Hair Perfector No. 3 as part of the professional service to use once a week for maintenance.

With Olaplex, we could abuse our tresses without worrying about damaging it. Time to play with more vibrant colours and go from curl to straight. :p
After all, life too short for boring hair.
