Going Kemaman (Part 1) + Restoran Kemaman

I had a trip to the east - Kemaman with my family in the end of May; to welcome the arrival of summer! We have chosen this place was because there is beach; and also to unwind and have a break from the hectic schedule.



There isn't much Chinese restaurant here. We started our Kemaman trip with Restoran Kemaman for lunch. They served quite homely taste food and stuffed crab. Well, Stuffed crab is everywhere in Kemaman!



Stuffed Crab. The mix of minced crab meats, onions, and some other ingredients, and finally filled in back; covered with a thin batter and deep fried into golder brown. it tasted okay and not the best throughout this trip.



Stir-fried Mantis prawn with dried chilies.

Nihon Kai Japanese Restaurant @ Old Klang Road

Nihon Kai, another Japanese restuarant located at Old Klang Road, serving good quality of Japanese food. And best of all, it won't hurt your wallet :)



I was here with my aunt and family one Saturday for dinner + a pre birthday celebration for cousin. The place was crowded and it took us 20 minutes on the waiting line. Business was really good!



Sashimi Platter (RM 53) - lots of fresh thick sashimi (salmon, tuna, squids, prawns...), ebikko, and roes!

Food Crawl: Jaya One (Part 1)

Food Craw is another thing I love. I used to have food crawling session with a gang of close friends or makan kaki-s. We did an extreme one in Ipoh for 3 days and also a short one at Balakong. Just some weeks back, I received an invitation to have food crawl in Jaya One.

JAYA ONE!!!

"Restaurant-hopping" sounds fun and I have never done something like that in one area full with restaurants. Thanks to Ramesh and Jaya One group for a great opportunity to join and try out the food prepared by the shortlisted restaurants.





Our makan Route
A total of 6 stops, each stops were allocated with half an hour time.


Let's us start with the starters, shall we???

1. Brisik Restaurant

Cuisine: Sundanese & Siamese.









Combo Brisik - RM 18.00 (for 2 pax)
The combo comes with:
Satay Serai - chicken lemon grass skewer

It's so Lemon-y Fruity!!!

ahhh... how I wish I could have a slurpppp on it. 





But noooo, it is food for the skin.


This is the Lemon Cleanser I bought it from My Beauty Cottage and I have been using it for quite some times. My mum has always "implants" me with the theory - "You are what you Eat" and this applies well to the skin too.  

This Lemon Cleanser contains:
Lemon with Vitamin C, will help to tone and refresh the skin
Herbs oil will help to soften and enrich the skin
Bioflavonoids moisturize and nourish the skin
Biocomplex, an antioxdant booster of Vitamin A, Vitamin C ester, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10 and alpha lipoic acid

Tea Party with delicious bites ♥

Shhhhhh....
be quiet, we are now stepping into Citygal's wonderland... ...

***

It has been a long time since out last high tea together at Cafe Stelle by Raffles. We always longed for another session of high tea, but high-tea-ing at those places is always costly and burns our pocket. So, why not make our own high tea session at home?

Sakura @ Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur

Dining in Sakura Restaurant winded me back to my parents' years.
About 25 years ago, they used to have their dates here.
Hands in Hands, walked in and dined.
Had plates of Nasi Lemak at RM 4 (per plate).
Back to their old days, it was considered a splurge for them...



Sakura, established since 1977, for famous local cuisine; needs no further introduction, has been a landmark and touristy spot too for the foreigners.




Tom Yum Seafood Soup served with bread and butter



Nasi Lemak (RM 14.80) with coconut steamed rice, served with chicken curry, sambal ikan bilis, floss, hard-boiled egg, acar, and fresh cucumber. THe chicken curry was good and sambal was very spicy; but the coconut steamed rice was slightly not that 'lemak; (a little bit lack of the coconut milky fragrant).

Sweet, lovely, and homely. So, where it is???
I was here for food. Yes....... Food for Skin!



I was here at My Beauty Cottage, waiting to be pampered with a session of professional facial treatment. Thanks to Grace and Cindy for having me over. It was a joyous time having my facial treatment and massage over here. Both of them have made me feel like a princess once i stepped inside here!!!

Pla dib @ The Heritage Village, Seri Kembangan

If it was not The Star, We would not be able to find out this hidden gem.



Pla dib, the Bangkok's top-ranked Thai fusion restaurant, has just started their business 3 months ago, situate at here Heritage Village, Seri Kembangan; facing a great view of 50-acre lake; serving the very interesting Thai fusion dishes.



Pla dib means "raw fish" in Thai.


We ran through the menu - pasta, pizza, main courses, fusion appetizers... it is more like Japanese fusion dishes or Italian cuisine. there was no sight of tom yum too.

My Beauty Cottage @ SohoKL

I love my beautiful afternoon.
Sipping my cup of organic Tea while swaying to the rhythm of music.



Here was I in My Beauty Cottage @ Soho KL - full with English Cottage atmosphere where you could hardly think that is actually a beauty house.









Eminence from Hungary. Since 1958



Once I stepped in, I was welcomed by Grace and Cindy; the person in charge of My Beauty Cottage. After some questioning and examination on my skin and the history about the Eminence skin care, I was served with a cup of 100% purely organic Sugar Plum & Spice Tea.


Source: Eminence

Sugar Plum and Spice Tea - enriched with vitamin C rich plums, rosehip, black currant, red currant and almond. You will love the intense flavour of the tea. Just a small tiny scoop, it turns the warm colourless water into ruby red. Tasted sourish, fragrant and soothing.
