Marufuku's Niku Udon is ♥

Been meaning to write about this for a while now, and I finally got round to uploading pictures from my phone. I have been back to Marufuku @ Jaya One a few times after my first visit and I am very happy to say that the udon is still as good!

The reason why I'm writing about this restaurant again is because of their Niku Udon! I have never tasted anything like it and I am pretty sure ANYONE who likes beef and udon will ♥ it too.

This dish comes in 2 options- soup or dry. I have tried both and I have to say that both are good BUT the dry version blows my mind. I am serious. "Dry" isn't really dry here because the udon comes with some beef, an egg, some broth/sauce (I can't quite tell but it is soooo good), spring onions, and you toss that all together.

Tossed!

See, after all that tossing it isn't really "dry". Very very yummy. I slurped up everything. No joke. The beef slices are so tender and flavourful, if I could I would eat 2 bowls of this!

2 serves of Karaage, MYR3 per serve 

Mushroom Skewer

All gone!

This is definitely my favourite dish at Marufuku! ♥ Oh and also their Karaage!!

Viber rocks!

Just got off the phone with my sister, and Ive got to say Viber is one of the best iPhone apps ever created. She sounds like she's just next door and even though she's thousands of miles away, I feel like I'm just calling to annoy her (as I usually do). The quality of sound is awesome and there is no lag (provided your Internet connection is steady)!

What is Viber? It's an application which allows you to call other Viber users for FREE via a wireless connection. Sorta like Skype but better! You don't need to sign in with a password (I always forget mine) and best of all, this app is FREE. I am saving so much on International calls now that my sister is back in Melbourne! Thank goodness for technology (:

On another note, I have been searching high and low for my house keys this whole week and I just can't seem to remember where I placed them. Last night my mother even had to leave her keys outside the house (hidden of course) for me as I was returning home late. I found my keys 10 mins ago and guess where they were?

Sitting happily in the SAME bag I was using for the WHOLE WEEK!! Grrr. I really should start organizing the things in my bag better. People are starting to get annoyed when I frantically dig in my bag then proceed to shout "I can't find my phone!! Call me!!" then locating it 0.3466 seconds later -_-"



Random: JagiBOY pulled over last night because he saw this on the side of the road! This little fella was taking stroll but when we stopped to look at him he hid in his shell! His underside was all dry and severely cracked so I poured some water over it. This turtle/tortoise was found just outside my housing area.

I wonder where he came from?

Chanel White Essentiel Lightening Make-up Remover Review!

Chanel White Essentiel Lightening Make-up Remover,
MYR152 for 150mL

What is it?

An oil-gel makeup remover to be used before nightly cleanser. 

Claims? (from website)

This oil-gel perfectly eliminates the most resistant makeup pigments and pollutants.

How to use it? (from website)

The fresh and transparent gel texture transforms into a rich oil on contact with the warmth created as it is massaged over the skin. When mixed with water, it changes once more to become a fluid lotion. The skin is deliciously smooth and pure. 

Things to note?

Has a very strong but nice perfume-y scent.

My review:

This tube lasted me a long while, I only needed less than 2cm of product for every wash and I used it nightly to remove my makeup. I usually have on eyeliner, concealer, BB cream, sometimes foundation, loose powder, and blush- all my makeup is heavy duty as I am out the door from 8.30am till 7.30pm at the least.  Now, I am pretty sure this product is not intended for the eyes, but I have been using it for the past 2 months to rub off my Bobbi Brown gel liner as well. This product HAS to be used on a dry face with dry hands or the oil will not dissolve your makeup well. Despite the fragrance in this product, it did not break out my skin at all and it did leave it feeling soft and clean- no tightness or greasy film leftover. It removes my makeup really well without causing irritation to both my eyes and skin. I still follow up with a foaming cleanser as I believe in double cleansing at night. My only gripe is that the tube is not travel-friendly, too large for my liking. Other than that, I like it!

Conclusion: It is a little on the expensive side, but the size of the tube makes up for it and it lasted me for a long while. I might purchase this again in the future but for now, there are other cleaners which I would like to try. A good product, just not an "excellent" one.

Change of heart..

..towards ZARA! I never used to like this brand because I felt most pieces were overpriced, mass produced, cheaply made and NOT fashion forward at all! I mean, once in a while there would be a few *okay* pieces in there but most times were huge disappointments, not to mention the horrible SAs who think it would hurt to smile a little now and then.

I am pretty sure I have less than 5 pieces of clothing from ZARA. But my opinion towards this brand has changed! The current collection they have in-stores is gorgeous! I saw so many pieces which I wanted (not needed). Am currently on a shopping ban at the moment so all I can do is lust over it.

Here are a few of my favourites:

♥ ing the shirt and skirt..

Dress with patterned hem
MYR199.90

Skirt with pockets
MYR199.90

Studio plain top
MYR359

Accordion pleat skirt
MYR279

Syudio Gaberdine cape
MYR499

I also saw many lovely shirts in-store but I cant seem to find them online. Anyway, if you like clean, streamlined, stylish clothes, I suggest you pop in to your nearest ZARA for a look! A little pricey, but the quality makes up for it.

Sidenote: I am almost done uploading pictures from 2010 on my FaceBook, Taiwan pictures to come! I'll leave you with a pic of me taken in Dec (:

Have a good weekend! 

Sitting next to my sis..

when she is packing, and I get these:



- Liese Juicy Shower Refill (Half left)
- Etude House Sweet Heart Creamy Body Lotion (70% left)
- Etude House Creamy Peach Chou Body Cream (New)
- 2 packs instant Miso soup (New)
- Laneige Star White Cream (50% left? My new neck cream haha)
- YSL Perfect Touch Radiant Brush Foundation (not too sure how much left. Hygienic cause she squeezes it out on back of her hand)
- 2 McDonalds McShaker sachets which I saved for her and she's giving me back (would prolly throw it, I want to lay off fast food for a while)

Rejected items from my sister's luggage cause she's saving space. Happy that I received freebies but sad that she's leaving already :C 3 months went by so fast! Kitty (our latest pet name for each other, we have many), don't go Kitty!
