Assalamualaikum and hi!

Enough with the skincare posts, now let's do food! oh yeahh~

Eating out is not always an option when you have something really easy to prepare and cook! I am not a fan of durian (kepala sis pening bila bau kuat sangat k haha) but I do love to eat tempoyak especially with budu or as masak tempoyak (but again, as long as it's not too thick or too many, sis tak pening haha). I love Patin Tempoyak too much for someone who claims they hate durian hahaha~

In today's episode of Makan-makan with me (cewah!), I'm gonna review Patin Campak Masak by Sangkar ZULH (It's Ikan Patin Tempoyak original from Temerloh okeh). This is gonna be a short review anyway, since it's really easy to cook but I feel the need to share it with you because yes, it's really tasty!

||          PATIN CAMPAK MASAK (PCM)                     

Like the name suggest, you basically just campak (toss) everything in the pot and you're gonna have a really tasty Ikan Patin Tempoyak. Temerloh is known for their Patin Tempoyak and since we Malaysians can't cross the state before this to enjoy the original taste of it, they bring it to us in an instant frozen pack! Yep, they come all the way from Temerloh. Even we can cross the states to enjoy them now, why not have a pack or 2 at home to enjoy kan? No need to use your AL just to eat Patin Tempoyak Temerloh kekeke.

Honestly, Patin tempoyak's ingredients are not as complicated as rendang but the measurements of each ingredients are crucial to get the one exactly like in Temerloh. Plus, if you dont know how to properly clean the fish, it's not gonna taste good. I mean, trust me it'll taste very bad haha! I'm bad at cleaning river fishes. So this PCM is perfect for me (and you too!). 

It's impossible to be bad at cooking this if you just follow the instruction. 

||          HOW TO COOK                              

So basically, you just add water to the paste, bring it to boil and put the fish. it's done when the fish are cooked. macam masak megi jeeee, really!

But the paste is actually a bit spicy so if you can't handle spicy food, just add more asam keping (make sure to taste in between, kang terlebih letak pulak abih la jadi masham). Here's how i do it:

1. Wash the fish with water (more like just rinse before you cook it, not properly clean since it's already clean)

huge fish!

2. Pour the paste into the pot

3. Add 2 cups of water, around 300ml to 400ml (this is the perfect measurement for a pack of PCM. You can adjust this according to your likings)

shake the water in the paste pack, dont waste even a drop of the paste lol

4. Optional : put 1/2 torch ginger flower (Bunga Kantan), Kesum Leaves and asam keping. For Bunga Kantan, you can add 1 but I prefer 1/2, and as for Daun Kesum, the more the tastier! Put it like how many you'd put in Asam Pedas.

put more daun kesum okay, more than this obviously

5. When boiled, put in the fish

6. Wait for the fish to cook around 5mins, and done!

||          MY REVIEW                              

A pack of PCM comes with 1 fish (cut in 4, and it's huge!) and a pack of the gulai tempoyak paste. Here's my review:

** Disclaimer - I bought this PCM using my own money and this is definitely not a sponsored post. All my reviews are honest.

||     COSRX ONE STEP GREEN HERO CALMING PAD                         

sistur dah guna separuh dah haha

||     INGREDIENTS                         

||     WHAT IT CLAIMS                         

||     FIRST IMPRESSION                         

||     TEXTURE AND HOW TO USE                         

This toner pad can be used both before makeup and after removing makeup. It helps to prep your skin better before makeup, and remove excess impurities and dirts after you wash them off.  I think this is a very interesting product as the cotton pad has 2 different surfaces; the embossed side and the smooth side. 

It's super easy to use and here's how i use it:

1. Use the embossed side first to exfoliate, remove impurities and residue on your skin. 

2. Wipe off all of the impurities using the smooth side. done!

Pro tip #1 : for those who have dry / sensitive skin who usually doesn't wash your face with cleanser in the morning, you can just use this!

||     MY REVIEWS                         

||          LANEIGE NEO CUSHION                    

Laneige Neo Cushion comes in 2 types which are Matte (mint) and Glow (pink). The Matte line is for those who love matte finish (not shiny / glowy look) and it is said to be extremely long lasting while the Glow line is for those who loves dewy glowing finish and it is really hydrating. 

As I always mentioned, I have a very dry skin so logically, I'd take the Glow line kan but I decided to purchase the Matte one after I tried the samples I got from their counter. I happen to buy something and ask the sales girl for the sample as I really wanna wear it out before grabbing it (lol it's not cheap! I can't just try it on my hands and assume it's good haha!) and I tried 2 shades which are 21N Beige and 23N Sand. Both are suitable with my skin but I choose to go with 23N Sand.

I choose matte because I live in Malaysia where the weather's almost too hot daily. I think matte will be good as I will be sweating and my skincare are all hydrating so I kinda don't want my cushion to be super hydrating.  But if I were to go on atumn / winter trips, I'd definitely use the hydration Glow line as my skin needs more in that kind of weather. And guess what, even the Matte line is hydrating enough I am so impressed!

the silver pack is refill pack, the small square ones is the sample and small sponge

||          THE INGREDIENTS                    

The ingredients listed on the official website is different for each shade and since I'm using 23N Sand, here are the ingredients for that shade:

            

WATER / AQUA / EAU, TITANIUM DIOXIDE (CI 77891), CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, METHYL TRIMETHICONE, ETHYLHEXYL METHOXYCINNAMATE, CAPRYLYL METHICONE, PEG-10 DIMETHICONE, PROPANEDIOL, CYCLOHEXASILOXANE, POLYMETHYL METHACRYLATE, IRON OXIDES (CI 77492), ZINC OXIDE (NANO), TRIMETHYLSILOXYSILICATE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE (NANO), NYLON-12, LAURYL PEG-9 POLYDIMETHYLSILOXYETHYL DIMETHICONE, HDI/TRIMETHYLOL HEXYLLACTONE CROSSPOLYMER, DISTEARDIMONIUM HECTORITE, IRON OXIDES (CI 77491), 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, ALUMINUM HYDROXIDE, SODIUM CHLORIDE, ACRYLATES/DIMETHICONE COPOLYMER, ISOPROPYL TITANIUM TRIISOSTEARATE, ACRYLATES/ETHYLHEXYL ACRYLATE/DIMETHICONE METHACRYLATE COPOLYMER, FRAGRANCE / PARFUM, CAPRYLYL GLYCOL, BIS-PEG-15 DIMETHICONE/IPDI COPOLYMER, STEARIC ACID, PEG-2 SOYAMINE, ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN, IRON OXIDES (CI 77499), DISODIUM EDTA, TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE, SILICA, CITRONELLOL, GERANIOL, LIMONENE, BHT, HYDROXYCITRONELLAL, TOCOPHEROL

||          WHAT IT CLAIMS                    

The claims are all to good to be true and the reviews I saw from beauty bloggers and youtubers pun boleh tahan. So here are what the product claims:

 ♕  Full yet weightless coverage

 ♕  24hr sweat-resistant

 ♕  Transfer resistant

 ♕  Matte finish

 ♕  Blue light protection

||          FIRST IMPRESSIONS                    

How can i not scream when i unbox this thing? It's too cute and it's totally my style! I bought this cushion during promotion and it comes with 1 free refill. Pay attention to the ongoing sales on different platforms to save more money kekekeke~

Everything comes as advertised and it feels really nice to hold too. Since my previous cushion casings are all rounded shape, the seamless square shape of this Neo Cushion is suprisingly nice to hold. The thickness of the case is just nice and not too thick.

You can only see your foundation code on the bottom of the refill cushion, not outside of the cushion case like other cushions. But I kinda like it as it keeps the casing looks simple and if you wanna change your cushion shade, just buy the new shade refill and no problem with the casing since the info is not on the casing.

||          TEXTURE AND HOW TO USE                    

As mentioned before, the texture is light and it's buildable too. This cushion is lighter than my previous cushions including Klairs BB Mochi Cushion (click HERE to read my review). Here's what I can sum up regarding the cushion foundation:

 ✨ Texture : Light, it doesn't makes my skin feel suffocated 

✨ Colors : My shade 23N Sand - enhances my skin color & no grey undertone 

✨ Scent : floral I guess, but it's very very light and disappear after you put in on

✨ Buildable : Buildable and won't look cakey

✨ Cushion casing : simple but high quality

✨ Cushion puff : comes with cut marks, very easy to apply, soft  and spread products evenly.

cut marks

It's very easy to use:

1.    After washing your face, put on your skincare & sunscreen - apply a small amount by dabbing it to your face. Don't rub your face, dabbing gives it better coverage and it'll stay longer too.

2.    If you need higher coverage, re-apply a thin layer again until you are satisfied with the result.

Don't apply too much foundation on your face at a time as ony a small amount is needed. Jangan pakai sekaligus terus banyak la senang cerita, apply sikit, then if rasa nak cover lagi, apply lagi sekali okay?

It's also very easy to change the refills!

||          MY REVIEWS                    

Pros:

     ✔ Lightweight

     ✔ Transfer resistant is quite good even worn from morning until night

     ✔ Buidable but still look natural and won't look cakey

     ✔ Matte line is quite hydrating too

     ✔ Very light scent that disappears once applied on skin

     ✔ Last longer than my previous cushions

     ✔ Many shades available

     ✔ Cushion puff is easily one of the best i've ever used. It is soft, pickup products easily and spread it evenly

     ✔ Casing design is super cute and simple. Love it!

     ✔ Easy to change refills

Cons:

✖ Price is RM160 without promotion so must research hard to see which platform offers the best discount haha!

Will I repurchase this?

Definitely. Until I find something better

Will I reccommend this to my friends?

Yes!

||          WHERE TO PURCHASE                    

I can guarantee these shops sells original products but if you wanna buy somewhere else, make sure that the shop is selling genuine products ya! 

Laneige Malaysia Website

Hermo

Sephora

Laneige Malaysia Shopee 

Jangan tanya Lazada ea, sis kaki shopee je haha!

I really hope they sell the cushion puff individually so I can always buy extra puff haha! yes, i love it that much! (update - they sell in individually HERE!)

Till then,

Thank you for reading this entry!

 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. 

||     COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL PEPTIDE EYE CREAM                    

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!

||     MY REVIEWS                    

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
