A ride back to my hometown 2!

AT SINGAPORE, I only stayed for night (: I managed to find Good Soya Bean at a Kedai that sells traditional meds' too.

Teck Koh Foo, at Fajar HDB, 
the mini shopping centre/supermarket filled with food courts as well! 


The Soya Bean wasn't sticky, thick with too much sweetness in it! (: It was rather good! Well-balanced with brown sugar. 

At Orchard Road, infront of Takashimaya, along the walk-way!

It's a little push-stall, where this old man will be selling ice-cream.
Waffle, roti, or cone ice-cream! (: 
I love eating the Roti/Waffle. NYOM! 

He's cutting it in half! :D 

Here are the FLAVOURS! 

OOOH, BESTNYA, DURIAN WAFFIE! :3 

"A MUST WHEN YOU'RE WALKING ALONG ORCHARD ROAD! ;)"

Around Jalan Tiok Hok Nee/Jalan Dhoby, 

As you reach a junction, straight ahead of the lanterns, on the left:  An old-well known bakery for 3 Generations, HAP JOO BAKERY&BISCUIT FACTORY. And beside it, is KEDAI KOPI&MAKANAN KINWAH! 

One of the best Nasi Kandar in town (; You can totally spot 1 Malaysia in this restaurant! Malays can eat in here as well! :D 

They bake old-style with the masonry oven, I think thats what its called (: It opens on sunday but closes very early, so I couldn't get a picture of the oven, but they were selling the cakes they made in the morning! 

Special order for CNY anyone? (:

The famous Banana cakes! :D NYOMNYOMYOM!

DELICIOUS <3 
WORTH THE BUY&FLAVOUR (:

The food was good :D 




NYOM huh (; 
_________________________________________________________________________________

NEXT, RESTORAN HUAMUI! It's in the same area as (KinWah and The Banana Cake shop up above). It's on the left of Kin Wah, diagonally opposite. The sign SO BIG, you can see it! (; 

What so special about HuaMui? It's vintage 60's. Been here for 3 Generations' as well, it's one place where Malaysians eat together, serious, except for Mamaks :P Similar as Kin Wah, Malays' can eat here too! 

FAMOUS for its' Hainanese Chicken Chop! 


&Other Western Food!

Look at the wall deco! 

Simple Yumcha sessions. Rose Syrup, Bandung, Lime, Kopi, Cham.

HAD A CRAVE FOR TOMYAM, I COULDN'T HELP IT. 

They still operate their food by using a pulley! :D HuaMui is a double-storey restaurant, Special huh.

THERE'S THE HAINANESE CHICKEN CHOP!! & YEEMEE GORENG (?)

KAMPACHI !
If you're a SUSHI lover, no matter what set price it is, you will have what you want! This is a place for you (; GOOD FOOD, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! 

Food @ Hotel/ Corporate $Pricing. 

(I wanted to have an IKURA, I ordered it. Then realised it was ONE PIECE FOR RM18. I knew I couldn't eat something so small, so expensive and I bought many many stuff before that! *Kiamsap* I reluctantly canceled the order.) 

Kinoko Salad
Green Vegetable with Mushrooms

Garlic Rice

Tori Teba Karaage
Deep-fried Marinated Chicken
  Don't order this in a Jap Rest, unless there are kids around (: Not worth it, BUT it was good.

Ebi Tempura
Deep-fried Prawn in Batter


Saba Shioyaki/ Teriyaki
Grilled Mackarel with Salt/Teriyaki Sauce

Pregnant Fish with Lemon. LOLLLL,

Although the meal was a little pricey, we did not regret even A BIT! :D I'd go back for more and try that rm18 sushi! 


HAPPY NYOM NYOM!! :D

Back with ice tips.

This is how important being pretty&hungry for a girl is (Pic from AGES ago) :

So,

What's with the ICE and Green Tea

Ice cools us down, cos 'we' too hot for Nobody! *jokes*
Ice does simple and fast miracles to your face. It brightens, lighten scars, closes up GIGANTIC pores. 

Try it, it'll leave you with
  •  smooth icy surface + natural red cheeks (Love it when I do it in the morning and leaves my cheeks pinky for the whole day!)
  • recovers your skin naturally (less blemishes)
  • Brightening&Whitening effect! 
  • minimize eyebags/swollen eyes 8)

It is Best after a tight mask routine.

Use only 1 ice cube wrapped in a towel or so, because it takes less than 5 minutes for it to melt. The drastic temperature change from warm to cold ain't good for the skin, so don't stick the ice on your face for TOO long. 
LASTLY, like any other Moisture mask, softly tap your face and massage the moisture all over to retain the moist.

Will put up ' Plain Yogurt with Oatmeal home remedy' the next time (;


MilkyTea Treatment
For me, I used milk/PLAINyogurt. Normal Water ice is good too (: I'd prefer yogurt, because it's smells and has better benefits. 

Next, Green Tea. 

Green Tea is anti-oxidant, which is great for our nutrition. It heals our body, protecting us from diseases, eliminating our body toxins (a good way to get rid of Acne&more), as well as helping everyone maintain a healthy weight! 

Green Tea is great for helping us lose a few pounds before New Year :P  

As a remedy for skin, it cleanses the skin causing us to feel fresher and clean. Green tea ice creates an anti-shine effect, minimizes acne as well. 

Fact: Powdered milk or Green Tea can be used as a MASK as well, mixed with PLAIN yogurt.


DOUBLE the Benefits.
1. Drink the tea, don't waste.
 2. Open up a teabag in a different glass. 
3. I separated the ice-shaper. Left: GreenTeaMilk, Right: Milk.
4. Mix the tea leaves in, and wrap it in a plastic foil(not the one in the pic, I ran out of it!)
5. LEAVE IN FRIDGE! 10-15 mins, all done. 
Do not keep the icey remedy for more than a week, it will accumalate bacteria and lose the nutrients. -not good for face- unless it's the Water Ice.

This is how the green tea ice will appear to be! :D Nicely Shaped.

Next up,

Benefits of ICE&the famous JAPANESE GREEN TEA!

SUPPER: Egg on the bright side!

Lay off the Chips, Maggi Mee, Roti Canai, Mamak, Lemak, Burgers for a ...
Simple Egg For Two! (except I ate it all, heh glutton?)
May I present you with: Buttered Egg.

       
Who said Egg's were only for Breakfast? 

             12AM,  I was watching Masterchefs making Egg Benedict on TV, made me stomach grumble. *Nyoms* I was craving for Tomyam Cup Noodles but, I don't have them at home. We barely buy them, only once in a while, guess it's a GOOD thing? *thumbs up*

          I learnt that using BUTTER as a substitute for OIL is a healthier & better choice. I also learnt that, we should spread the butter on the pan before it gets TOO HEATED. Hence, the non-coal (burned butter) egg, you'll know what I mean once you do it wrong. On low heat, put the butter in, the egg, yes. Then just cook the egg however you want it, fried? But I prefer a Sunny-side upped egg! (:
That's it, simpler, healthier than Instant Noodles or Mamak Canai.

Last bites, add pepper/oregano/whatever herb or chives on :) It'll taste better than ever.  

LOOK AT THE MELTY YOLK <3 I lurve it, with ketchup.

If you don't like butter, just butter the pan till it's covered (not too much Like I do) so you wouldn't have a heavy butter smell on the egg. Or, just use the normal oil you use! At least you have the egg done! :D & stomach satisfied.
Fyi, TomatoKetchup is my favourite thing in food category (: 

HAPPY NYOM NYOM, Readers!
If you're still hungry, drink a cup of water.
If you have Fear for WaterRetention on yo' face the next day, just go to Sleep or opt for a massage for your face the next morn'!
Better if you could just sleep early, to avoid late night grumbles *stomach*, it usually happens from 12.30AM-2AM. 


I DON'T ENCOURAGE SUPPER THOUGH, IT'S BAD FOR HEALTH :/

Soup of the day :D

Vegetarian Xi Yong Choi Soup (: Healthy and good.




Ingredients:
500gm watercress/ xi yong choi (veggie),
1 handful of Goji/Kei Chi seeds,
10 'biji' of Red Dates,
Add Dried Longan as much as you like, depending on how sweet you want the soup to be (:
2 corns on a cob in smaller pieces & its kernels.
A teaspoon of salt

First, boil the water in the pot. Then, put in the corns&the cob as well, the watercress, goji, dried longan and red dates. Boil it :D then good to drink.



Usually people put in chicken bones and meat into the soup for the sweetness, but we replaced it with CORNS for a healthier benefit (:  

 Loves,
