Assalamualaikum and hello!
Well, everyone's talking about milk tea lah kan? And then there's a lot of newly opened, unheard of milk tea brands in market too!
I personally love, lovvveee bubble milk tea. I used to drink lots of it, and I only bought this cretain brand because it's super cheap hahah! But that was before. I figured out that the franchise has increased their milk tea price (and the only thing that changed was the cup....), i stopped buying boba milk tea 🤣
Okay now let's talk about The Alley!
The ambience of this Taman Desa Botani is damn nice. It's actually a newly developed business place but the main target market is Chinese. There's also travel shop, Mentai Sushi, Dance academy, RM 1.90 shop, and I just figured out The Alley opened their branch here!
The café is honestly really nice, but we stayed outside since its was super full inside. The queue was quite long. I wish they put more English in their menu as the pamphlets we get from the counter was all written in Chinese 😅 Besides that, there's nothing to complain hahahah
My husband wanted to order their Brown Sugar Deerioca Creme Brulee Milk but it was out of stock so we just got ourselves Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk and Royal No.9 Milk Tea for mom.
This is my honest review, and we paid for the drinks ourselves haha:
Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk
• Fresh milk is used
• Refreshing but if you dislike fresh milk taste, this is not for you
• I don't really fancy this but it's not a bad thing.
• Since I don't really fancy fresh milk (but I still enjoy it!), the bobba & brown sugar really helps me to enjoy. Besides, I pay a lot for a cup of milk. If I don't drink, really wasted laaa haha
Royal No.9 Milk Tea
• Milk tea is tasty!
• I can't say it's worth the price since it's a bit overpriced but it is tasty.
• The bubble and the brown sugar makes it better.
The Bubble
• Chewy, and texture is not too hard but not too soft
• Sweet
• Full of flavor. Damn nice I really love the bubble!
• It matches the brown sugar used. Serius sedap bubble diorang!
⭐️ 4.0 overall.
⭐️ Love the ambience & the customer service is not bad
⭐️ just hope to see more pamphlets & offer in English rather than all Chinese
⭐️ They don't have halal cert yet, but they are alcholol free, pork free and lard free
⭐️ If you ask me to summarise my experience, I'd say- the drink was okay but I love the bubble (or some people call them pearl)
Will I come again?
Yes, because of the pearl (for now because there are lots of new milk tea that I haven't try). And, my husband wanted to try the creme brulee so why not come again kan. Price wise, quite pricey la tapi why no if it's once in a while kan.
Will I recommend it to my friends?
If they just wanna chat and hang out and have extra budget, not hungry, this is the place. The milk tea is tasty but it's not the level that I can say I want more and more of it considering the price (the price doesn't meet my expectations for the drink but it's still tasty. Just not the best hehe). But this could make it to my fav top 5 milk tea. Haha!
Till then,
Thank you for reading this entry!

|| THE ALLEY BATU PAHAT
The franchise in Batu Pahat is located in Taman Desa Botani (full address at the end of post, as usual 😉). This cafe is quite huge and offers outdoor seats too. So kalau nak udara segar bugar & taknak air cond boleh dok luaq okeh!The café is honestly really nice, but we stayed outside since its was super full inside. The queue was quite long. I wish they put more English in their menu as the pamphlets we get from the counter was all written in Chinese 😅 Besides that, there's nothing to complain hahahah
|| THE MILK TEA
Personally, even the menu are written in Chinese, it's pretty easy to order since the drink is not customised.This is my honest review, and we paid for the drinks ourselves haha:

Assalamualaikum everyone.
ALERT : THIS IS A SAD POST, I pour my heart out especially at the last part TT_TT
Okay so 16/05/2019 was a very, very sad day for both my husband and I. Yes, one of our kitten died.
I said that I seldom talk about any personal matter in my blog in my previous post. But I didn't mean that I wanna write anything personal this soon, especially this personal. TT_TT

Assalamualaikum and finally another food review!
I seldom write something personal here. Well, maybe next time. Let's focus to fooooooddd!
Disclaimer : I paid for the food using my own money, and not sponsored by anyone, not even Dubuyo. So, all my reviews are honest. But please take note that people do have different taste in food.
P/s : taugeh dia tak sama macam taugeh Korea. TT_TT

Beef Soondubu Jiggae

P/s : taugeh dia tak sama macam taugeh Korea. TT_TT
So I was just window shopping when I saw Klairs Vitamin E clream, but this time in mini size. It was just RM 38 and I was so excited as I really wanna try out this cream as the reviews are good. But I never get the free sample hahah!
Assalamualaikum and hello~
same intro, always huh? hahah!
Okayyy finally, a lip product! I actually receive this lip treatment from Chanwon as I won #Chanwondotcom yearly giveaway! (love you, Chanwon!). This lip treatment balm is seriously so good that I need to make a review on this!
|| FIRST IMPRESSIONS (and some tips for dry lips)
Truth is, besides dry skin, my lips are super dry too. And, I kinda always kopek the dried patches and yep, my lips will bleed. Even my husband forward an article of "what not to do when you have dry lips". HAHAH!
The lip treatment is super soft, and a little goes a long way. Trust me. I never put it on my lips the way people usually wear lipstick. I just dap it on and use my fingers to spread it all over my lips. The color, even though it's pink (I dislike pink lip color. prefer coral or red, reriously), it looks great!
Tips for dry lips :
➨ Drink lots of water
➨ Don't lick your lips, it'll get dryer
➨ Don't pick your dry lips! Instead, put on lip balm to soften the flakes and then take it off when its soft enough
➨ Put on lip treatment/ balm before you apply your lipstick, especially matte lip products
➨ Exfoliate. Use sugar + honey or just use wet towel. I just use wet towel and to do this, make sure that your lips has been moist for a long time. I usually do this after I take a bath.
|| THE LIP TREATMENT
Okay this might look like just another lip balm but trust me, it's not. It's a tinted lip treatment balm and I really love this! It moisturizes, tinted and treat dry lips really well.
Mine's a gift, maybe that's why it's small. but the one sold online is as huge as normal lipstick
My worst nightmare when it comes to dry lips happened when I was experiencing my first winter in South Korea. I only bring my normal lip balm, which I thought was enough. But my lips turned reaaaallly dry and it even bleeds.
This doesn't happen in Malaysia since we don't have winter here, but I work in an air-conditioned office so my lips tend to be dry a lot faster than usual.
Sometimes I apply this lip treatment before I sleep and I woke up with really moisturized (and pink) lips the next morning. Feeling baby face sangat kahkah~
|| THE INGREDIENTS
The product I have doesn't state the ingredients on the packaging. But it do state that this lip treatment contains SPF15. So here's the ingredients from FRESH website:

|| MY REVIEW
Pros:♫ Improves lips condition
♫ Protect lips from cracking
♫ Treating cracked lips
♫ Smells good, like some buttery food
♫ SPF 15
♫ I literally don't need any lipstick since this balm is tinted
♫ Secure packaging
Cons
♫ The price is quite expensive (you can get a lot of Vaseline with this)
♫ The balm stick kinda melts a bit if it's in hot weather. Seriously.
Will I re-purchase?
Maybe if I have extra $$$, and found nothing cheaper that works as great
Will I recommend this to my friends?
Yes, if they wanna try new lip treatment and doesn't mind spending more money (It's RM103 on Sephora)
Till then,
Thank you for reading this entry!
