Lunch Date at Lunarich | Gurney Paragon, Penang

A super unrelated selfie I taken ages ago start off this blogpost because I haven't been taking selfies recently. Lolll. 


Actually the lunch date I had with my besties, Shelmine was a long time ago but now only I blog about the food. Haha. So we went to this Italian cuisine, Lunarich in Gurney Paragon. It was my second visit and the reason I'm going back is because the pizzaaaaaaa.

If you do not know (yet), I'M A PIZZA PERSON. But I don't really have pizza that often tbh but I will if  pizza is a healthy food, low in calories, doesn't make my stomach bloat or something. But damn it's not!! That's why I only eat it once in awhile. Hahaha. When it comes to pizza, I think I can finish the whole large/medium pizza by myself. Oppssss.



 Address: 
Lot 2.33 & L2.A2a, Level 2 Gurney Paragon Mall, 10250 Penang, Malaysia

Hours:
Mon - Sun: 11am -11pm

 Cheeseeeeeee. The fattening ingredients but also the best stuff. *yummsss*


Since there's only two of us so we ordered a mushroom soup and a fungi pizza. Their fungi pizza is a bomb!!! My love for fungi or any mushrooms will never fade. I loveeeeeeeee it sooooo much. Sautéed one is my favourite I guess!! Hmm... missing the Antipodean's one already. Haha. The mushroom soup not recommended though. Lol. Anyway, what's your favourite food?

High Tea at Macallum Connoisseurs | Gat Lebuh Macallum, Penang


Hi guys! How is it going? Miss me? I know you miss me *evil face inserted* hahaha. So today I'm going to share with y'all a coffee shop which is kind of in the trend for a while already. It is the Macallum Connoisseurs!! I've heard about a lot of good reviews and pictures on Instagram saying how good is their food but never got a chance to visit it. Finally I went when I spent my sem break in Penang!



As you can see from the outside, it is quite different from the usual café that pops up like mushrooms after the rain in Georgetown. This café obviously is a lot bigger than the others, and the best part of it is it has it's own car park though it's quite limited. 

We went there for high tea since we already had lunch. So we just go for the desserts and coffee instead of the main course. But I will come back one day for their mains! 


Banana Crepe *RECOMMENDED*

Oreo Cheesecake. It was quite tasteless for me. Kinda disappointing.

Another flavour for crepe, Strawberry. The texture of their crepe is really smooth and fulfil your tongue satisfaction. But this flavour is too sweet.

Recent addiction is Iced Mocha! Too bad this is so bitter, it tasted more like iced long black. Lolll. But the other of us ordered hot coffee such as flat white and it was good. 

Lastly is the baked eggs!! Cheese + eggs never goes wrong!! Yummmmss.



Address: 
No. 1, Gat Lebuh Macallum, 10300, Georgetown, Penang.

Hours: 
9am-12 am (Daily)


Later then we went to the beach at Park Royal Hotel to chill. Ahhh~ such a relaxing day it was. Haha.

Look at that beachhhhhh. The sunlight, the clouds, the sands, the trees, the boat... They make me miss Penang when it comes to this. We did wait until sunset to enjoy the amazing view!


Didn't make up on that day so just throw on some bright lipstick before I take selfies. Put on the sunshade yo babe! Hahaha. Btw did you see my ugly black roots? Ugh it's just so obvious when it grows. Can't tahan any more!! Still thinking what colour to dye next. Heh.

Dinner at Healy Mac's | Straits Quay, Penang


Hi Guys! How are you doing? I've just started my degree year two first semester yesterday! Still feeling reluctant to get back to college life. Lol. And in this new sem I had to separate with my old classmates as we will be joining diploma graduates all together. It's time to make some new friends eh? Haha. I always have my poker face but I'm friendly kayy! Don't let my look fools you. Haha.



Although now I'm in Kl already I still want to share some good food I've tried during my one month sem break in Penang, my lovely home town! My aunt brought me and my sis to this Irish Bar & Restaurant in Straits Quay. They have a few branches in KL too.


Three of us ordered different dishes and share among all so that we can tried different things. We had smoked duck breast salad which is realllyyyyy good. All of us like it very much especially the dressing and the duck meat is so tender! Mmmmm. Aglio Olio was my aunt's choice. It was quite good with a little spicy. I like it where it has a lot of vegetables on top but it's a little bit too oily for me. The last one was 12 inch margarita pizza which was huge! I think I had 3 pieces!! Despite my deep love for pizza, their pizza wasn't up to impress me. I like the crunchy thin crust though.

Breakfast at BIBIS | Jalan Kelawai, Penang

Hi Guys, it's been a while since the last time I write about café. Few days ago I went to this BIBIS Fashion & café which is located at Jalan Kelawai (right opposite Gurney Paragon Mall). It's a really strategic place so it wouldn't be hard to find. 

The pudding is getting more obvious. I need a new hair colour! Any suggestionnnnn?


I've noticed this café before but haven't got the chance to try it out yet. They have their own car park but it's quite limited. We went there pretty early to have our breakfast and chit chat for hours until noon. Lol. As for the interior design it does give you a relaxing atmosphere which is much needed for a café. That explained the long chit chat session we had, or maybe it was the super comfortable sofa. Haha.



3 of us ordered different breakfast. I ordered egg benedict which was not bad along with a glass of organic vege juice. Okay I know vege juice may sounds gross and it was my first time order a vege juice too because I needed the fibre. Lolllll if you know what I mean. But the juice is surprisingly nice!

Breakfast platter ordered by my aunt which is soooo good. The bacon, sausages, omelet, bread... All taste differently from the others' breakfast platter that I've tried. Nommsss.

Does Your Hair Shine From Every Angle?

[AD] Tsubaki



I actually heard about Tsubaki long time ago and have known that they are famous for promising in giving you a smooth and shiny hair. However, I didn't make any purchase because its price it's slightly higher than the other brands of shampoo you can find in the drug store.

Until few months ago, my sis, Grace gave me a set of Tsubaki product and asked me to try on. She kept telling me how different this shampoo is than the others; how soft it is after using it. At that time I wasn't convinced by her yet and I feel maybe she was just exaggerating, but I do smell the nice fragrance every time I meet her.

So after I started using Tsubaki, my hair do really feel smoother and more manageable despite it has done several times of chemical service. Other than my own point of view, I received compliments from my classmate too saying that how did I manage to keep my hair so smooth and healthy even though I've done chemical service?? Then only I know, it's the shampoo that I currently switched to make such changes on my hair.

Received this box of Tsubaki products at my doorstep. Thank you Tsubaki MY!


I'm happy that I got the chance to collaborate with Tsubaki and share my experience with you guys! Tsubaki is a premium hair care product made in Japan and it's the only brand that has Camelia Oil as its ingredient. Fyi, there is only two countries in the world that has this oil which is China and Japan where Japan has been providing the finest Camelia for 140 years.


Tsubaki provides INTERNAL and EXTERNAL shine for hair




They have three product range for different type of needs of people.

1. SHINING (normal and dull hair)
Tsubaki Shining Shampoo 550ml (RM38.90); 220ml (RM18.90)
Tsubaki Shining Conditioner 550ml (RM38.90); 220ml (RM18.90)
Tsubaki Shining Hair Mask (RM44.90)
2. DAMAGE CARE (dry and damage hair)

3. HEAD SPA (scalp care)
Tsubaki Head Spa Shampoo 550ml (RM38.90)
Tsubaki Head Spa Conditioner 550ml (RM38.90)
Tsubaki Head Spa Massage Spa Mask (RM44.90)
Tsubaki Head Spa Extra Cleansing Shampoo (RM29.90)

The first time experience with Tsubaki is actually pretty impressive. The time I pumped the shampoo on my hand, the texture is quite liquid and not too sticky like some other shampoo, so it can be distributed evenly on my scalp. And within seconds of the process, the nice fragrance smell is spreading and filling the bathroom with an aromatic smell!! I love the fragrance very much though, because after you have blow-dried it the fragrance is still there like I said about my sis's case. During the blow-drying, I can feel a very noticeable changes of my hair. It is much smoother and easier for me to comb my hair in wet condition. 

After the hair is blow-dried, it is even softer! NO JOKE. Now I can run my finger through my hair smoothly!

After using Tsubaki. *non-edited*



Tsubaki promises one thing, SHINE FROM EVERY ANGLE.
