Review: Drip Loft (Vape Cafe) @ Bangsar Baru, Kuala Lumpur

Drip Loft is the place to go if you love coffee and vaping. I don't care about vaping as I'm here for the food. The way to my heart s through my stomach and not my lungs. Hearing the word vape actually makes me cringe as I hate anything bad to my health caused by others such as smoking and vaping. And no, I don't want to hear your excuses on how vaping is not unhealthy. I ordered the croissant and the presentation is magnificent. However, it tastes soooo average. This is overpriced croissant. I won't come back here anymore unless some friends ask me to die die hang out at this place. It's really not worth it unless you are here for the vaping and environment, and want to enjoy some snacks.

Review: Gerai Makan Japanese BBQ 大众烧肉 @ Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur

Gerai Makan Japanese BBQ 大众烧肉 is not a place for princessy girls who don't want to smell like BBQ after meals or risk having makeup being melted away. You will definitely sweat and smell like BBQ after visiting this place. It is located at the back alley of Plaza Faber. We ordered this dish called Genghis Khan which only costs RM20. Genghis Khan is a popular dish in Japan which is basically Japanese grilled mutton slices with cabbages on a skillet. I would recommend this dish. The meat and broth is very flavorful and savory.   Other than that, you can also order innards and meat to be grilled. We ordered throat, heart, baby intestine and tongue. I don't recommend the throat as it was quite tough. The other parts were good and easy to chew. I'm totally Chinese and enjoyed eating them.

Review: Milkcow Soft Serve Ice Cream @ The Gardens, Mid Valley

When Milkcow first appeared in Malaysia, the hype is unreal. Almost all my friends have tried it and posted it on Instagram. When the hype has died down, that's when the hermit me crawled out of my cave and tried it. No queues, yay. Is it good? You bet it is! I ordered the basic, cheapest soft serve ice cream and I really loved it. I thought it would taste about the same as McDonald's, but it doesn't. Milkcow's soft serve ice cream has a really strong milky taste. I love milk so this ice cream is amazing to me. It is better than McDonald's but my cheapo boyfriend prefers McDonald's.

Review: Nana's Green Tea @ The Gardens, Mid Valley

I saw Nana's Green Tea before in Japan, and only then did I realize that it is a Japanese chain. No wonder the branch at Midvalley is always filled with customers. While the patrons seem to prefer the parfait, I prefer warm or hot desserts so I go with one of the lattes. They have matcha, genmaicha, etc. If you're a fan of green tea lattes, then you should try this one out.   The hamburg rice is surprisingly not bad. Dessert-centric cafes usually have disgusting main course meals. I don't like the soft-boiled egg though because it was cold from the fridge. Anything savory that is cold is usually yucks to me. This cafe is definitely worth a visit if you are obsessed with green tea-based desserts. The parfaits are popular so maybe you can try that one out.

Review: Yut Kee Restaurant @ Jalan Kamunting, Chow Kit, Kuala Lumpur

Yut Kee Restaurant is very popular in Kuala Lumpur and it is one of the restaurants you must try. It has an old kopitiam design and you would usually have to wait around 30 minutes to get a seat. You would often have to share a table with others too. The most popular dish is undeniably the Hainanese Pork Chop. I highly recommend it. The potatoes are delicious too but they are like 4/5 cooked? The inside of the potatoes seem just a tad raw, but it could be just me. There is also Hainanese Chicken Chop but I don't recommend it because it is more tasteless. I always prefer pork over chicken because pork tastes more flavorful to me. Basically, whatever chicken dish would taste better to me if you replace the chicken with pork. If you prefer chicken, then you could try the Hainanese Chicken Chop instead. If you're a no pork no life kind of person, go for the Hainanese Pork Chop! #babisquad I was sitting opposite a college girl who said she's from The One Academy, and she o...

Review: 103 Coffee Workshop @ Sri Petaling Part 2

I had visited 103 Coffee Workshop before ( Read Part 1 here ) and I decided to visit it again as it was on the way to the place I was going. This time we ordered chicken wings and some sausage, egg and garlic bread thingy. I wouldn't recommend the chicken wings. Both my boyfriend and I hate it. The sauce is just yuck.  As for this egg, sausage, and garlic bread, they taste exactly like how you imagine it to be lol. It was just so-so to me. I still could stomach it. Will I revisit this cafe again? Maybe. Some things are still palatable so I wouldn't write it off. 

Review: 103 Coffee Workshop @ Sri Petaling Part 1

While we were at Sri Petaling, we spotted this 103 Coffee Workshop had many customers. Since business was good, we thought that the food must be good too. The food here is basically Asian meet Western (or European, for you nitpickers). We ordered pizza and aglio olio. I can't remember the name of the pizza, but as you can see it has bonito flakes and seaweed, so the name must be something Japanese-y. I just looked at the menu online and found out it's Mentai Pizza. I don't like the pizza actually. It is too salty for my taste. Saltiness seems to be a thing in Japanese cuisine. I usually find pork slices in ramen to be too salty as well. If you're okay with those pork slices, then this pizza might not be salty for you. As for the aglio olio, I was craving for something rather plain which was why I ordered it. It satisfied my cravings and I finished it up easily. I'm easy to please when it comes to aglio olio so don't rely too much on my judgement 😝 I...

Review: Gangnam 88 Restaurant @ Solaris Mont Kiara

After visiting Jeju and had delicious BBQ pork, I crave for more Korean BBQ and google for recommendations. Gangnam 88 Restaurant was recommended by some bloggers, so why the hell not. The good thing about this place is that we can order only one serving of meat even though there are 2 people, unlike many other Korean BBQ restaurants that insist us to order at least 1 serving of meat per person. Well, thank god we only ordered one. We ordered pork shoulder and the meat was tough! It was so difficult to chew so in the end we didn't finish it. Can't really simply trust some food bloggers anymore because they are probably sponsored or are friends with the owner.

Review: Serene Aesthetics Hydradermabrasion Rejuvenating Facial

My skin was very dry so I read that hydradermabrasion facial is really good so I decided to test it out at Serene Aesthetics at Berjaya Times Square. The aesthetician checked my skin with a tool which showed that my skin is dry on the inside and oily on the outside. Besides that, I have a lot of brown spots underneath my skin. Damn it! I use sunscreen every day yet this happens to me. Sometimes I doubt the effectiveness of sunscreen. Sometimes it feels like just a scam. After the facial, I sadly did not see any miraculous results. Skin wasn’t very hydrated unlike other facials like Aster Spring.  I won’t go back here again.

Review: Body massage at Amante Nail Spa & Body Care

I went for a massage at Amante Nail Spa & Body Care in Berjaya Times Square after purchasing a Groupon deal in 2014. I actually wouldn’t recommend it. The massage was nice and the masseuse was very friendly and chatty (could be a con for some). I actually learned a few interesting tidbits like how the wind or angin from the body would be transferred to the one who massages. So it is kinda unhealthy to be a masseuse. However, the one time the masseuse left the room for a while, she didn’t close the door completely so there’s like a 20 cm gap. It wouldn’t be so bad if this spa is for women only but this is not the case because this spa accepts male customers! I was lying face down naked with the towel slightly below my buttocks so the side of my breasts and the upper buttocks are exposed. I briefly contemplated covering my boobs with my hands and grab the towel to quickly cover me up but if I fail I could risk exposing more bits so I then thought it’s better for me to lie down ...
