Scrumptious Saturday Vol. 21 : Japanese BBQ Street Food Style in Kuala Lumpur

December 22, 2012 Paris B 16 Comments

Sometimes I wonder why in our hot weather here, we eat equally hot and heat inducing foods like steamboats and barbeques. Often, its a bunch of people sitting or standing around a hot soup pot, or around a grill, wiping away sweat and popping morsels of scalding hot food into our mouths. Yet we do, because its delicious and its fun.

Recently, I’d come across a little nondescript Japanese BBQ yakiniku stall in Taman Desa, Kuala Lumpur. Its located in a little courtyard in an alleyway between some old shops and is very rustic. If you are the sort to prefer somewhere cool, clean and air-conditioned, this is not the place for you. Here, be prepared to sit in the open air or in what might be called a shack on rickety chairs around a flimsy table, let your hair down (or better yet, tie it up), relax, ignore the rather glum surroundings for a moment and grill your own food on the charcoal brazier located just a few feet from your face. Yes ladies, we get a lovely facial at the same time 😛

Whilst I personally find portions small and the whole experience can turn out rather pricey if you have a large appetite, its an interesting place, and concept simply because I haven’t come across another quite like it in KL!

New! Hada Labo ES Skincare for Sensitive Skin – Hydrates, Repairs and Soothes

December 21, 2012 Paris B 24 Comments

Those of you who have been with me for a while will remember that I am quite a fan of the Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Lotion. You know, the one that you pat on? The one that helps your skin go ‘toing!’ each time you pat? I don’t use it very often these days for various reasons but I have a bottle on my dresser that I use now and again. It feels lovely every time! But apparently some people with sensitive skin didn’t take to it too well.

Well, fret no longer! Hada Labo now has the Hada Labo es range specially for sensitive skin. I don’t know what “es” means. Does it say something in Japanese? I can’t tell so if you can, holler at me! 😀

This isn’t new globally. I had seen it on the Japanese Hada Labo website a while ago, and on other online stores. I just didn’t know what it was really for. Well, what the es range is really for is for those with sensitive skin, so they have gone and formulated this with no fragrance, colorants, alcohol, mineral oil and preservatives. It also contains nano hyaluronic acid (that seemingly magical skin hydration ingredient that binds moisture to skin) and zinc to sooth skin inflammation and irritation.

Here’s a brief overview of what there is. Its been out here since October at Guardian pharmacies so if you have tried it, feel free to share your thoughts on this with the rest of us 🙂

I helped my dry, dull skin with a healthy dose of Yves Rocher Hydra Végétal Moisture Boost Concentrate and Gel Cream

December 20, 2012 Paris B 43 Comments

Sometimes, I am surprised at just how impressively effective some skincare is. And then I take a look at the diminutive price tag and I’m surprised once again! A little while ago, I introduced you to the newly launched Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal skincare range. There is a whole range of products from cleansing all the way to serum and moisturiser, and I’ve already told you that the face wash is a very good budget buy. But I wanted to focus on the 2 items in the range that I particularly like, that worked for me and which I’m on the way to finishing up. Yes, you read that right – gasp! I know 😛

yves rocher hydra vegetal concentrate and gel cream

These two items are the Hydra Vegetal Moisture Boost Concentrate and Hydra Vegetal 24H Intense Hydrating Gel Cream. As you can see, I’m about halfway through them both and its been about 1.5 months of use so far.

I started using these because my skin was giving me grief despite all my ministrations and feeling and looking very dull and dry. Truth be told, I wasn’t terribly sold on the brand because I’d never used them before and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Its helpful therefore to have a trusted view from this review from Tracy who raved about this range helping her skin all the way in the Great White North. So hey, I had to see how it fares here in the hot humid Tropics!

Incidentally, very well. Without mincing words, just a few days of use helped my skin rebalance itself and rehydrate and I was sold. Have you come across this range yet?

Save and Splurge: Sparkly Black Nail Polish

December 19, 2012 Paris B 46 Comments

’tis the season to be sparkly!

Ok I know its the festive season and most of the time, festive season = red nails. But I think a sparkly black polish doesn’t look out of place on nails either! Dior showed us they thought so too by releasing a black or blackened based nail polish – Diva with their Grand Bal Christmas collection.

Well, I’ve found a potentially more sparkly black based alternative to Diva, if that appeals more to the inner tinsel and glitter lover in you 😀 Its also a little more affordable although it does not come in as gorgeous packaging. But I personally prefer how it looks on nails 😀

I present to you a save and splurge edition of sparkly black nails!
