Assalamualaikum and great day everyone!

I still can't believe many are interested in my Atomy Evening 4 Set review, thank you!!! I will review their sunscreen next but for now let's get to the COSRX Advanced Snail Peptide Eye Cream.

bear in mind that my skin type is dry ya!

||     TRUTH ABOUT EYE CREAM                    

Okay here's the TRUTH about eye cream- It won't erase your dark circle and eye bags completely. Yes, you read that right. Eye cream can help reduce your eye area problems and improve skin around your eyes which includes dark circles, eye bags, fine lines and wrinkles, but the result is temporary- Just like other skincare. So if you expect them to erase your dark circle completely - Forget it. It won't. 

Puffy eyes can be reduced with eye cream only if it contains caffeine as caffeine constricts the blood vessel around your eyes, but again- it's only temporary not permanently. So if you have eye bags around your eyes, find the eye cream that contain caffeine.

To banish dark circles and eye bags completely, you need to do some cosmetics procedures with the doctor (peels, lasers, injections). I will not do that for sure because it's under eye area and I always imagine something bad especially the injection procedures hahah! I bayangkan the doctor inject something for my dark circle tapi tercucuk your eyeballs lepastu buta. HAHA! I know that won't happen but I still find it scary because it's too close to the eyes.

Eye bags and dark circles aside, eye cream are actually the best solution to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Eye area is very sensitive and the skin around the eyes are very thin and delicate so not everything you put on your face is good for the eyes. For example, AHA and BHA are a type of acid use to exfoliate your skin and it's best to leave it out of your eye area as it will irritate the skin and will make your eye conditions worst. I personally use eye cream due to this, as my toner contains BHA but I still refuse to switch to other toner because it's literally the best toner I've ever use! Click HERE to read on my BHA toner.

So basically, eye cream is a type of moisturizer formulated specifically to hydrate and improve the eye area which is very fragile.

Honestly, I hate snail. I f*ing hate them and they're gross but almost every skincare that I love contains snail mucin as it's one of the ingredients that works great for dry skin (mine). Why... haha! 

COSRX is a Korean brand and I tried so many products by them and I think it's one of the brand that you can turn to if you wanna try new skincare. While some products might not suite your skin, at least it doesnt turn your skin worst and the products are quite gentle (I mentioned in my COSRX Sunblock review that they use minimal ingredients). So far, i really think the brand is good and worth my money.

This eye cream contains 72% snail secretion filtrate and snail secretion is known to be great for hydrating your skin. This eye cream also contains 5 types of peptides and Niacinamide which will help lighten the dark circle area. Here's a tip on finding a good eye cream : make sure it contains Humectants (Hyaluronic acid & Glycerin), Peptides (Great for reducing wrinkles and fine lines), and Occlusives (mineral oil). 

I saw COSRX brand at Watsons but I'm not really sure whether the eye cream are available at Watson's stores. But you can get it from Hermo @ RM107.90 or get it waaay cheaper at their COSRX Shopee Official Store using coins and vouchers hehe. And buy them during sales! 

Click on both HERMO and SHOPEE link to see which one's on promotion since promotion varies from time to time. And if you wanna get it on other shopee account / other platform like Lazada, please make sure that it's ORIGINAL first instead of just checking the price ya!

Bottom of the bottle

Another food review! We prefer to eat at home nowadays as the current condition of Covid-19 and too many scary saman if we don't follow SOP 😅  The rules are not that hard to follow but the penalty if you're caught not following the SOPs is super scary. But sometimes nak juga makan kat luar kan hahah

We saw Sukiya restaurant for quite a few times as it is located nearby the elevator and we've been wanting to try it out ever since. We finally decide to try it out for real this time since there's too much videos of Japanese Curry & Chicken Katsu appear on our social media lol. 

||     THE RESTAURANT                    

Sukiya is a restaurant serving Japanese food. Please don't confused SUKIYA with SUKI-YA (haha nama sama!) as Sukiya serves Noodles and Rice bowls while Suki-ya serves hot pot menu. I am not sure about Suki-ya restaurant, so let's get back to SUKIYA Tokyo Bowls and Noodles!

||     THE MENU                    

The menu is straightforward, you get what you ordered lepastu makan ajelah. There's no step or having to go to the food counter what so ever as they are not buffet / customised.

Mini bowls menu are not available on website

First thing you'll realize when browsing through their menu is that the menu is cheaper than Sushi King punya rice bowls but this restaurant does not serve sushi. There are plenty types of rice bowls and ramen available and sometimes they come out with seasonal menus too.

However, the menu available on their website is not as complete as at the stores. But you get theidea of what they're serving or on what to order from the menu on their website. Click HERE to view the menu. 

Their Menu includes Gyudon, Yakiniku Don, Chicken Don, Cury Rice, Ramen, Unagi Don, Rice set, Combo set, kids set and a-la carte set. They also have bubble milk tea but we didn't order that as I think it'd be too much (wait till you see what we ordered).

||     THE FOOD                    

Okay here's what we ordered :

1. Yakiniku Don with Teriyaki Mackerel Zen RM26.90

2. Teriyaki Ontama Don with Karaage RM24.70

3. Hot Green Tea RM 2.90

4. Iced Green Tea RM2.90 

and as if that's not enough, we add :

1. Una Sara (Eel) RM26.00

2. Mini Ontama Curry Rice RM5.80 (since we wanna try Japanese Curry lol)

Luckily my husband was really hungry he finished 2 bowls of rice cemtu je. hahah! The set includes Chawanmushi (Japanese Steamed Egg Custard) but it arrived later. I forgot to tell the waiter not to prepare it as I don't fancy the taste of chawanmushi and won't eat it 😅

Their Una Sara (Eel) taste okay but not as fresh as a Korean Restaurant I went before PKP (and the price at the Korean Restaurant pon 3x more expensive, so no complain). It's a little dry but still good. Plus, we really have nothing much to complain as the price is affordable!

And... I baru perasan I tak up pon review pasal that Korean restaurant since I didn't take much photos haha. Doakan kami dilimpahkan rezeki so boleh pergi lagi & write review, amin!

Yakiniku!

This is my first time eating Yakiniku. I first found out about Yakiniku on Hanis Zalikha's instagram story where she share the recipe. I actually thought that she was being playful by naming the food Yakini ku, which like, Yakinilah diriku ini, but wow I was wrong haha~ Yakiniku tastes not bad, it's a whole new thing for my taste bud and I think I like it.

And I think their miso soup tastes nice tapi cair sangat, kalau pekat sikit confirm sedap gila. 

||     HALAL STATUS                    

The restaurant chain is Halal-Certified since 2014 and here are their Jakim Halal Ref number if you wanna check:

Workers at Paradigm mall JB Branch are Muslim too (both kitchen staffs and waiter).

||     OUR REVIEW                    

This is our Honest review, and I am sorry if our taste doesn't suit yours or you rasa okay je tapi we all complain lelebih ke sebab semua orang taste tak sama, kegemaran tak sama. I geram betul bila orang suruh I review then bila I give my review (contohnya, ada dulu I cakap certain restaurant biasa je takla macam hebat seperti yang divaralkan), tiba2 orang cakap "sedap je I makan, okay je takde pon tak sedap". U did ask for MY review, MY opinion kan? Jangan la mintak review pastu kondem pulak bila org dah bagi review. hahah sis emo. 

Tapi for your reference la, usually bila I cakap sedap tu InsyaAllah memang sedap. Kalau tak sedap, mungkin kedai dah tukar tukang masak kot 😂😂😂 (tiber).

So these are our review & thoughts :

🌟 Overall 4.0 stars

🌟 4.0 for food- makanan dia taklah sedap gila, tapi bukan tak sedap. Not bad la orang kata.

🌟 4.0 for price- Cheaper than sushi king

🌟 4.0 for staffs, diorang okay je cuma muka ketat sikit. Maybe too tired. 

🌟 4.0 for Ambience, cute and clean

🌟 4.0 for service, quite fast
