Italianies@ paradigm mall

A quick snack in Italy

After a nice movie with a stupid ending(I.frankenstein) I was feeling peckish. Walking around in paradigm mall I found myself in front of italianies. 

I've always been rather fond of pizzas so I thought I would step in for a quick snack.

We sat down and we were instantly served bread in the traditional Italian way. Plain with olive oil and vinaigrette. Nice simple tart and just wonderful. The bread was nice and soft. It just works. Got to leave it to the Italians for coming up with such a simple yet elegant way to eat bread. 

I was thinking of having the margherita pizza but I was also feeling carnivorous. So I had an all time classic which is the pepperoni pizza. It came in about 20 minutes which was great. I don't like to wait forever for my food. 

Pepperoni pizza @ rm38.90

The pizza came and it smelt wonderful. I always think that food should activate all your senses and this did it very well. The tomato sauce was smooth with very fragrant spices wafting around in your nose. The cheese was creamy. For people who don't like cheese this might be a good thing but I prefer my cheese slightly heavier. The sprinkling of rocket on the pizza was just the right contrast to the creamy rich sauce. Perfectly balanced. I would not think for a moment that this would lack as compared to the pizzas found on the streets of Milan. Simply, I give this pizza a 9/10

Laneige Waterbank Double Moisture Mask review

I have got my  Laneige Waterbank Double Moisture Mask  during Christmas along with their Laneige water bank set .

This mask is different with the other sheet  mask that  I normally use. Firstly, it's because it is a double layer mask which you could not find it abundantly in the market . Next, the texture of the essence of the mask is quite different, it feels rather oily .

The lower layer of the mask look like this.

The upper layer of the mask looks the same as any other ordinary mask.

The texture of the Laneige sheet mask is rather different as it's is rougher and a bit thicker than my usual My Beauty Diary mask but not as thick as the mask from The FaceShop.

The mask really do what it claim to be : cover up every spot of the face ( except the eyes of course)

After leaving it on my face for 30 min, my skin do feel more hydrated. Not only that my skin is also brighten up. 

The only issue with it is that , it left my T zone area feels oily after an hour or so.

The mask is quite good but the problem is that it's quite cumbersome to use due to its double layer nature.

It does hydrates and brightens the skin  but for the cost of it , I think it could do a better job.

Mr Right

 ' Is he the one ?' 

Every girl will face this question at least once in their life .

What make you think that he is the one ? What makes a guy so special to you ? 

Is it because of his looks ?

His intelligence?

His social background ? 

His wealth ? 

There is no guide book in finding who is the one . It's pure instinct . It's fate I suppose . On the one fine day , you have a sudden urge to be with this particular guy who you feel will keeps you happy forever . But how long is forever ? No one knows ....

There is this one fine day , when I was sooo innocent ( don't laugh ) , I met this  guy who is quite smart , quite good looking 😐 and doesn't seems to speak my mother tongue try to ask me out for a movie and dinner . And because it's a fine day (and I wanted to eat good steak ) I decided to not stay at home . I went  out with this particular guy who later ask me to be his girlfriend . Can you believe that the reason behind this is that he feels comfortable around me ? 

Anyway keep long story shorty we begin this relationship secretly for about a month or two because I am worried that it won't work out and it's too much for me to bear the questions that will be thrown on me .

Later because of some nosy friend the whole world knows. Surprisingly I could cope up with it .

It started fine , he knows things I don't know . I have good food . I went to places that I have never been . He is funny , I am cute (lol) .

I have little gifts every month . Then in the 100th day . I got a bouquet of  roses ( although I did not react like a normal girl ... I basically grab him and run away from the crowd) .  It's still a lovely memory since it's my first bouquet of roses and perhaps my last because he doesn't want to surprise me with flower anymore . Though I think I will still react the same way if it happens today .

Since I work part time during holidays , he will come and accompany me although he could only watch me from far and although he has his finals at that time .

I got my first birthday present from him. A Fossil watch which I really like. 

Then it's his birthday I got him a plane model ( warhammer ) 

Then one year had past ... We both gain weight .

The second year past with a few additional toy bears and a very cute rabbit . We have done so many silly things and experiment together .

We spend the third year in the UK . A nice little town called Aberystwyth . He became my chef spending time in the kitchen more than studying . I have spent my year there eating tasty home cooked food , even better food that I had in malaysia . 

Small samples of it 

We had our first Halloween in th UK

We traveled to Liverpool.

Stupid things we do in the lecture hall 

He made my 21st birthday cake .

He was so happy that he saw Snow for the first time .

We went to disneyland 

We travel to Europe . 

I

Today it's the 42 month we have been together . Hope our love could continue to  be strong . 

I love you ! My darling , my cook , my bodyguard, my driver and much much more !

Dreamz bakery @ Kota damansara

Normally I squint my already small eyes when you tell me that a bakery is located in what is suppose to be an office building . I did squint my eyes . It was a bakery in an office . Oh well I thought how bad could it be .

The place isn't hard to find as long as you know your way around Kota damansara . I think the main idea for this bakery is simplicity and youthful innocent and this they did pull it off . The decor exuded innocence and it had a very homely feel . It definitely is a nice place to go for afternoon tea . 

Now on to the cakes , the first one we try was  the red velvet cake . The frosting was nice and tasted of white chocolate . The red velvet was mediocre and had a very strong smell of raisins .

The second cake we tried was the yam cake . It's difinitely not the Chinese yam basket that some will expect. It has a very fresh feel and the level of sweetness was just right . Resorting in a very pleasant experience . The nuts on the top      made it even better . 

Red velvet cake (left )@ rm9.9, yam cake ( right )@ rm8.9

We also tried the daily special which was homemade fruit tea . It had a large variety of fruits in it , most of them on the sour side . There was orange , apple , peach , grape fruit , passion fruit and pineapple . These was mixed with a black tea infusion which is a very refreshing drink on a hot summers day which in malaysia, is everyday unless it's raining 

Homemade tea @ rm8.9 

Other than this the shop also has a large variety of sandwiches and burgers but I believe most people go there for the cakes 

In conclusion , I give this restaurant and overall of 8/10 , a must go to cake lovers or just people looking for a place to go , to spend a lovely rainy afternoon
