Ten Years Restaurant - A Treasure Trove For Foodies

Last month, I was invited to the launch of the Ten Years Restaurant in Sri Petaling. Ten Years Restaurant offers the nation's most famous fares with all the best of Malaysian cuisine served under one roof. 

You no longer have to drove all the way to Penang for the best Char Koey Teow or even flew to Sabah for the Nasi Kuning Tawau. Ten Years Restaurant welcomes diners of all ages to savour the nation's most famous fares.

With dining areas for different eras, Ten Years concept is in line with 'through the ages' theme, with inspired settings that seamlessly meld cultures and history.

Ten Years Restaurant established by seven passionated friends who came together to establish an avenue to house the best Malaysian cuisine with a mix of cultures including Malay, Peranakan, Chinese and Indian specialities with the vision of preserving Malaysian food recipes for the future generation. With a unique business concept, Ten Years cater to the needs of franchises recipe owners. Working hand in hand, Ten Years offers strong marketing, branding and operation infrastructure, partnering with hawkers or restaurant owners owning signature Malaysian recipes to safeguard their recipes.

Among the speciality unique Malaysian dishes served at Ten Years includes Nancy Nyonya Laksa from Melaka, T&T Prawn Mee and Tiger Char Koey Teow from Pulau Pinang and Nasi Dagang Kak Pah from Terengganu.  Ten Years own specialities, called FUSION are inspired by traditional dishes from all over Malaysia, likes Lamb Masak Merah with 3 Colour Rice based off Johor style merah, Grilled Chicken Percik Sauce is a twist from Kelantan's popular dish, priced start from RM12.90.

Nasi Kuning Tawau origin from Sabah.

Tastefully created by her mother, Kak Tun takes pride in selling her mother's speciality Nasi Kuning. The secret recipe has to be the reason it's sold out by 7am daily. 

Wow... That early? Well, this yellow rice paired with mixed chilli paste and savoury grated coconut indeed never let me down. The whole chicken leg is tender and flavourful too.

Ten Years ultimate plans is to open 40 outlets in Malaysia by 2017 and aspires to expand overseas with branches across all ASEAN Countries as well as targeting to establish 200 outlets in China by 2020. All the best!

Cool Hydration With Hada Labo Multifunction 5-IN-1 Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion (Review)

Hey, gorgeous. Are you still using toner? If you do, time to ditch your toner for Hada Labo lotion. Ever since I hit mid twenties, I've been using Hada Labo lotion instead of the usual toner to maintain my skin hydration with the goodness of Hyaluronic Acid. 

Key Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Supplementation*

• HA helps lock in and moisturize skin from the inside out, helping to smooth out wrinkles in the process.
• HA acts as an “internal cosmetic” to help super hydrate the skin.

The Hada Labo lotion was first launched in Japan. Back in 2004, Hada Labo Hydrating Lotion became the star product and maintained its position as the No.1 face lotion in Japan for 7 consecutive years. Hada Labo's lotion known for the different types of Hyaluronic Acid effectively provides the skin with a powerful double layer, moisture-locking shield to lock-in moisture. It will deeply hydrate the skin while preserving the skin's optimum moisture balance and also prepare the skin to better absorb the other skin care products. 

Available in Malaysia since 2010, Hada Labo's lotion now has more variants to address different skin concerns. Introducing the all-new Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion, it is also the FIRST 5-in-1 multi-function lotion that functions as a lotion, mask, essence, astringent and emulsion. With two types of Hyaluronic Acid (Hyaluronic Acid and Nano Hyaluronic Acid) for instant penetration into the skin's deepest layer for deep hydration, without stickiness on the skin.  

Apart from its hydrating properties, it is also enhanced with Vitamin C derivatives, to help re-balance skin tone and restores skin tone for a fairer, translucent and natural radiant complexion. The formulation also enriched with Witch Hazel Leaf extract, helps to tighten as well as refine pores for a smoother and refined skin. 

It’s primary function is to bind to water which gives it a viscous “Jello” type texture. The gel lotion has a transparent gel-like texture, which turns into water upon application on the skin. If you noticed, there's air bubbles in the product, but not to worry as this is due the jello texture.

Directions for use:

After cleansing, pour sufficient amount of the cooling gel lotion on your palm.Gently pat on the face and neck until throughly absorbed into the skin. 

My verdict : 

Upon application, skin instantly feel refreshed, well-hydrated, toned and supple with a cooling sensation. Product absorbed into the skin in a blink of an eye without any stickiness too. I've been using it for about 3 weeks and will continue to use it! I think this bottle will easily last me for a few more months.
However, I do find it a tad cooling for my personal preference. All in all, it is the perfect all in one whitening gel lotion to be included in your daily skin care regime.

The Hada Labo Whitening Cooling Gel Lotion retails at RM65.30 is available exclusively at all Watsons stores nationwide. Hada Labo products are fragrance-free, colorant-free, mineral oil-free and pH balance with low irritant on the skin suitable for all skin types. 

Hada Labo skincare philosophy: 

“PERFECT X SIMPLE”

For ultimate perfection and ultimate simplicity

Hi, ladies! Do you like to mask? I love to mask as mask not only helps to revitalize, repair and nourish our complexion, best of all it's very relaxing and the only time I get to unwind.

Yours truly with the lovely Estee Leong.

MaskSlim first started in 2012 distributing imported skin care products until its founder Estee Leong began collaborating with a beautician friend who was making home-made mask from fruit and plant ingredients. During that time, she was suffering from a persistent acne condition and had tried a wide range of products to no avail.

One fine day, her friend persuaded her to try his mask that was made of fruit stem-cell extract which worked like a miracle and it also marked the birth of Leong's personal mission to bring the product to women worldwide. Today, Estee Leong has a hands-on approach to product development and insists on trying new formulations on herself before the marketing team. Wow... so brave of her! :p

Simply adores that it's easily rinse off too.

Thoroughly remove impurities from pores as I don't experience any breakouts despite the heavy makeup for the past few weeks.

My verdict : 
Lightweight texture easy to apply and absorb quickly into the skin for a visibly smooth, satin-like finish.

After 3 weeks constant usage of TimeWise® Microdermabrasion Plus Set, I noticed my pores are more refined and less skin redness too. Besides that, make up blends in easily and last longer too.
