Yes, this is a place full with the very English Cottage atmosphere.

and Nooooo, I am not having another nice afternoon tea but resting myself here while waiting for the ladies to have their facials done.

Nothing is edible here except there is the yummy-licious healthy food for the skin - their skincare products which is wholly made organically and gained certification from Demeter International, BioKontroll, USDA-Oregon Tilth and USDA-ASCO.

However, i found something interesting here

My Beauty Cottage
is selling this can of 100% organic tea - The Organic Blueberry Bliss Tea that consists of blueberries, elderberries and back currants which is rich in antioxidants and good for the eyes.

IMG_4193

Just a small tiny scoop, it turns the warm water into reddish wine color (purely from the berries and currants themselves). Take a sip; it's fresh and slightly sourish due to the presence of berries.

House of Tang 唐人轩 @ One Bangsar

After the days with bland notes,
The weeks with tasteless tutorials works,
The month with awful books.
Finally, i get to zing up my numb taste buds with scrumptious food with a bunch of food lovers - Chris&Christine, Jason and Simon and three other friends.

Braised Seafood in Scallop and Shark's Fin Soup 瑶柱海味烩鱼翅
with lots of dried scallop and shark's fin layered underneath. The broth was light and fresh with the aroma from mushrooms as well.

It would be great if they increase the sourish level for this.

Braised Pig Trotter 红烧元蹄
The glossy piggy skin lined a thick layer of collagen underneath; the meaty portion was succulent and was neither too skinny nor too fatty.

Stir Fried Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables 咸菜炒猪肚 has my vote. It was flavourful as the pork belly were braised beforehand and the it was super QQ.
