A night at Sunset Way - Yum Yum Thai

Went to Yum Yum Thai at Sunset Way (Clementi Street 12). Just right beside Fortune Cuisine. I think since they have such a competitive restaurant next door, they are having ala-carte buffet for SGD15.80++. My first tryout with Kir, my makan kakis ... hehehhehe

The environment setting of the restaurant is not too bad too. Good ambience and not too noisy. I like the place! Big table too. Meaning you can just put a lot of food on the table. Wahahahahaha!!!

Drinks are not included in the so we have to order it separately. So Kir suggested Ice Thai Tea. But I dont sense any difference from normal ice tea. However, he kept insisting there is a different in taste. Well, probably, my tongue are just too thick to taste the difference. Hahahaha ......

We ordered quite a number of food for two people. The way they cook are based on how many people that is present. I wont elaborate a lot as there was really a lot of food pics ... Just one or two sentences.

Dish #1: Pomelo Salad
Pomelo makes you feel really refreshing. Sweet, sour and spicy! It's just a great great great appetiser that will really makes you drool.

Dish#2: Fish Cake and Cuttlefish Balls (Sotong Balls)

Fish cake have a heavy taste of basil leaves. A good combi with the thai chilli sauce. Sotong balls are just normal. Nothing much to talk about it.



Dish#3: Onion Omelette
A nice and soft omelette with lots of onion. Hehehhehe ....


Dish#4: Olive fried rice
Love this. Taste way much better than Lerk Thai.

Dish#5: Kang Kong Sambal Belacan

A normal one that you can get at any zichar (stir fried) stall.

Dish#6: Scallop Stir Fried with Basil Leaves
Best dish out of all dishes. The scallop were not overcooked and it's really soft and succulent. Totally nice!!! We ordered two for this dish. Cant order more as we cant stuff anymore into our small stomach ...... quite sad ....

Dish#7: Black Pepper Fish

The fish were deep fried before they are stir fried with black pepper sauce. The fish are really hard. Too hard that you can even taste the fish ....

Dish#8: Fried Pork Collar

First bite taste good. But second bite it was really hard. Too dry and makes you wont want to have a second one after the first. I dont really like it. But I think people who drinks beer may like this as their accompanying dish.

Dish#9: Stir fried tofu

Worst dish of all. Didnt taste anything and even I can cook better than this.

Dish#10: Stir fried tofu
Not good at all. Only have sour taste. No lemongrass or basil leaves smell. But I will give credits to the ingredients as they are really fresh. But I dont dare to take much as I am allergic to seafood ..... sad case for a person who really love food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dish#11: Sweet and Sour Prawn

Taste normal but prawns are really succulent and fresh! I just too one and I suffer the whole night ... Sigh .....

Dish#12: Thai Chendol

Too sweet and the coconut milk is too thick!!! I still prefer the chendol in Melaka though. The dessert was not included in the buffet to. Do take not on this ^_^

WHAT ARE THE DRIVERS THINKING!!!!

Got an email from the Dean of Engineering saying that a student died due to road accident. This was what happen. This PhD student was crossing on the zebra-crossing and this is where he got hit by the vehicle. Similar situation happened when I was in KL two weeks back. We were crossing at the zebra-crossing (from the direction of KL monorail towards KL Sentral, KL kia you will know where I am talking about). All the cars had already stopped and suddenly a Proton behind another car suddenly cut the queue and speed up while we were crossing. If my brother crossed a second later, he will definitely become a gone case!! This was what happen to the PhD student in NUS leaving his wife and family behind. WHERE IS THE COURTESY of drivers nowadays!

I really wonder "IS IT REALLY THAT RUSH THAT YOU CANT EVEN WAIT FOR A SECOND LONGER? IS THAT NECESSARY FOR YOU TO ACCELERATE AND COST AN INNOCENT LIFE????"

I think IF YOU CANT BE A COURTEOUS AND PATIENT DRIVER, DONT EVER DRIVE ON THE ROAD!!!! When you drive be RESPONSIBLE!!! You, yourself are afraid of death but how about others!! The moment you accelerate and KILL someone, dont you think that you are really CRUEL??!! Your life is precious so are others!!!! Dont be such a selfish jerk which only think about yourself!!!

TO ALL RECKLESS DRIVER: THINK BEFORE YOU DRIVE! YOU RECKLESSNESS AND LAW BREAKING NATURE ARE CAUSING HARM TO OTHERS

I think those drivers MUST BE BANNED from driving ever again and jail them up for several years. So that they repent and others will abide by the laws. Only this way, road pedestrian will feel safe.

TO ALL ROAD PEDESTRIAN: BEFORE YOU CROSS THE ZEBRA CROSSING, YOU SHOULD LOOK TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. So to value your life, and always keep this statement in mind.

Teochew Bak Kut Teh

This Teochew Bak Kut Teh (Pork Bone Tea - direct translation) is located at SS2, Petaling Jaya. My sis said that her friend told her that this shop was quite nice. Thus, family and I went for the try outs. Due to it was 2pm, not many people were in the restaurant. Only a few tables were occupied while others are empty.

First glance at the menu, there are a wide range of food to choose aside from the normal bak kut teh. They stir-fried vegetables, meat, chicken, tofu etc ... Since it's stated on the signboard is Teochew Bak Kut Teh, of course, the Bak kut teh is a must! You can choose to have with claypot or with bowl. Well, bak kut teh is not bak kut teh if there is not claypot.

Some side dishes that we ordered are:

#1: Fu pei

It's a deep fried tofu and we submerged them into the soup of the bak kut teh. Then, dip them with the dark soya sauce with slices of red chillies or bird chillies. It really goes well with it!

#2: Tau Pok
It's another type of tofu but, it's dried tofu. Way of eating is similar to Fu Pei.

#3: You char kwai (You tiao)

It's a deep fry flour (dough). This was to dip into hot boiling bak kut teh in the claypot. Don't soak it too long or else it will go soggy. Soggy "you char kwai" doesnt taste good. You much have the crispy plus chewy plus dripping wet with the bak kut teh soup.

The main characters are here. TAAAADAAAAAAA!!!

#1: BAK KUT TEH
I love the soup base very much. Unlike most bak kut teh that I have tasted, they either put a lot of msg or sugar to make the soup sweet. However, this the soup is really great. I dont feel thirsty after drinking the soup. Thumbs up!! Ingredients are a lot too. It's not like just bones and soup. The waitress will ask you which part of meat that you would like to have and what other stuff that you would like to put into. Here, we only have our pork ribs ... Hehehehe ... cos we dont really like a lot of meat ....

#2: Liver in Ginger and Wine

Mum's favourite is pork liver. Well, I like it though some times. Hmm.. .what's so special about this liver dish is not the liver but the soup. As the liver was overcooked. Should have told the waitress that we wanted 3/4 cook so that the liver will be softer in texture. I love the soup. I am a soup lover. Hehehehe watever it is as long as it's soupy, I just love it! The ginger aroma is really very strong. It combines well with the wine. However, it's a little "spicy" and burning though.

#3: Stir-fried vegetables

Just a normal stir-fried vegetables. However, it's not very oily.

Altogether, those 4 persons meal with yam rice cost only RM65 = SGD28. Cheap right?!! hahahahahha ... That's the only one thing that I like about Singapore. Hahahaha ... Things are just soo cheap!!!

I just love my BRAND NEW LOOK!!!

Hi, folks!!! You ols must be wondering where I have been vanishing to. Well, I vanished to Malaysia for a short gathering with Papa and Mama plus Didi. Sis was not there as she got training in Pahang. Poor her ... boring training with her department hohohoho .... and of course I was having fun perming my hair over the weekend. But poor papa and mama plus didi that have to wait for me for hours to get it done. All of them were sleeping by the sofa. Luckily, the salon was got a great and comfortable sofa for them to sit on and wait patiently for me. Hehehehe .. Thanks papa, mama and didi ... all of you are the greatest!!! Muacks!!!

I got my haircut from KL. You must be wondering why KL. Well, mum heard this hairstylist from a radio station and decided to give it a try. And without us noticing, this is my 3rd or 4th visit there. For those who resides in Malaysia, if you tune into Aifm and Myfm or if you came across someone who is talking about hairstyling or image, well, that's the guy! He is our (me and my sis) wonderful hairstylist! Both of us like the way he designs and cuts our hair. As the hair look great even you dont cut it for a long time. I remembered my previous hairstyle last me for 6 months before visiting him again. Out from a number of hairstylist (all of them are senior hairstylist - I WONT risk my hair for junior hairstylist ... Sorry guys reality are really very cruel. THerefore you must learn well from your senior and senior dont bully your junior cos you are once a junior too) he is the best I would say. As most hairstyles doesnt last for more than 3 months. When 3 months up, I have to cut my hair no matter what because it will be out of shape. But this guy I would say he is real good! You will even look great even after 3 months and can hold up to 6 months. So here goes my latest look before I continue further .....

I have always wanted to get my hair permed. But I am really really really afraid that the outcome will turn out to be an "aunty lookalike hair" then I am done for. I kept repeating to the hairstylist that I dont want to look like aunty after I washed my permed hair. He kept reassuring that it wont look that way. He said relax ... you definitely wont look like one! Definitely wont. And as what he said, it's really true!! After I washed and restyle myself, it just look similar to what i had done on salon (just that not as good as I didnt blow dry the hair but it is good enough)

I love the hair so much that I cant resist posing the cute look in front of my camera phone .... I just want to try out and see how will I look by acting cute as with straight hair, it's really hard for me to do it .... but seems to me that the outcome is somewhat out of my expectations! They are really good!!

Finally, a more normal and decent pics of myself. Overall, I am really satisfied with this hair. Really boost my confidence!! Thanks Michael for such a GREAT hairstyle!!! Everytime, you just gave me a totally different look!! I am really eager to know what's your next step! Hehehehhe ....

The Cream of Wonders - Skin 79 BB Cream

SKIN79 Super+ Beblesh Balm BB Cream Triple Function (Pink Label)

This is the product that I am going to blog about today. I have been using this for more than 6 months now and I am still using it. Before I start to bable about anything, you guys must be wondering what BB Cream is. BB Cream is a short form of Beblesh Balm Cream. In general, this particular cream helps to correct your uneven tones and to minimize the visibility of your pores. I do not know this product till my mom heard it from a Malaysia TV station where the TV host are introducing BB Cream. She immediately asked me and my sis to buy the moment she hears that this correct uneven tone and minimize the visibility of the pores without much hassle (as she knows both of her precious daughter are really and totally lazy in doing make up even foundation). But of course another important reason is that this BB Cream is able to block of UV sunlight both UVA and UVB. Normal on the shelfs product can only block only one UV (cant remember which is which) and one of it can even penetrates through glass panels and harm your skin especially your face that leads to pigmentation and even worse wrinkles. Scary, huh?

The question arises is why not just put sunblock. Well, some sun block is does not block away both UVs and the one in particular will penetrate through your skin no matter how thick the sunblock you have applied on your face. Even there is sunblock where it blocks off two UV rays, still the oiliness is untolerable. After two or three ours, you will felt that your face are covered with a thick layered of oil which is something me and my sis hates the most!!

Maybe now you will question me, well, there is a lot of BB cream selling on the shelves now. By why this? To be frank, the moment my mom told me, we bought a few BB cream to test out as we do not know where to find this brand of BB cream in Malaysia and Singapore. We tried two well-established brands to be exact and we gave up (I will not disclosed the brands ... sorry folks). The reason is, first, they are only able to block off one type of UV rays and second, they are really really oily and makes the pores even larger. Second, they are not the first brand that establish BB Cream. Third, you face will appear too white even you use a just nice or less amount onto your face. Therefore, from there, we tracked down that Skin79 is the first company that come out with BB cream and they are the Best Selling brand in Korea. And indeed, it proves itself right that yes, we should go for this BB cream instead of others.

For this particular product, it blocks off both UV rays (A&B) and gives a more bright and elastic skin. In addition, this particular BB cream makes your face feel supple, healthy and smooth as it looks. And it wont make your face feeling greasy even after two or three hours. The oil is well-controlled and is drastically minimize. You will only feel a little oiliness on your T-zone only after 6-7 hours. Unlike others you will feel it on your whole face. Next, it corrects the uneven tone of your skin and reduce pores visibly. When you look at it by taking pictures, you wont feel as if your face is detached off from your next. It blends well with your skin color. This is why I like this particular BB cream so much. You definitely will not wish people to say that "Psst that girl seems like her face doesnt match her neck" ..... Plus for a sensitive skin person like me, I can use any facial products as I can or else irritation such as redness will show after two or three application. No matter how good others claim, the money just gone to waste. But this I vouch that it definitely will not cause any harm to sensitive skin!! Another great thing is it also acts as the foundation for your skin. Definitely will never make your face go yellow unlike you are using other cosmetics products if you do not use your make-up base. In contrast, it improves your skin condition!!

Probably, you guys might say, "Hey aint she bragging about it all?" Well, fear not!! This is the upclose photos of my fore head and my big pores at the side of my nose before and after BB cream application. You will see a really HUGE difference in it. I believe that if I show you some pictures of the model, you will not believe me as you might said they are photoshoped. Well, definitely they do for a better advertising. But here, there is NO ALTERATION of pictures (100% ORIGINAL). Not to be offending, a lot of people who blog about goodness of BB Cream never really show the before and after results. But here I will really show you the difference.

FOREHEAD BEFORE

FOREHEAD AFTER

Can you spot the difference? At before you can see some fine lines and pores. But at the after application, they are drastically reduced and pores are poof gone!! Amazing isnt it!!

NOSE BEFORE


NOSE AFTER

Similar to the forehead, the pores have smoothen out. And of course, if your nose are peeling, they are unable to covered. Although it really does wonders, it doesnt act like a great concealer to conceal everything.

Another great news is they produce a special BB cream for guys too. WHO SAYS BB CREAM IS ONLY FOR GIRLS!!! One of my friend (Guy) is using it after eharing my recommendation and he really loves it as it makes his complexion brighter. In this era, men also need to know how to beautify themselves. Brain is not the only thing that girls are looking for now. So men WHAT DO YOU SAY? ^_^
