The Body Shop Haul 2013

The Body Shop was having its latest sales for the year 2013, and I managed to get myself two items at 50% off!! (made my buys on the 20th October 2013)

 

The two items are: The White Musk Libertine by Leona Lewis! Smells really nice... sweet and yet sensual! I've always liked Leona Lewis from the X-factor UK.I also happen to like the nice colourful pink pattern on the bottle :)

 The original price for this bottle of 30ml was RM75 and I got it for RM37.50

Next I got was The Body Shop Sakura body lotion... also in a sweet pink. This is my favourite of all! I simply love love love the scent! So fresh and calming!! And guess what! It was originally RM 14.90 and I got it for half off! Super deal!

And it's made in the UK...  :)

 

Chicago Ribs @ Gurney Plaza ~~ Again

Thanks to ILoveDiscounts, I've been frequenting this restaurant all year long.

 THis time, I bought 5 tickets vouchers for their set meals, each costing RM28, tax included. We decided to use it all up in one go, when my brother came back recently in November.

We ordered 2 sets of half-rack BBQ pork ribs and one pizza.

This time around, the pork ribs were abit disappointing, as the portion size was to me, a bit smaller than usual. The other thing was that the ribs did not have been seasoned long enough. Although there was enough BBQ sauce to go round. Perhaps I've been here once too often...

The pizza was also disappointing in terms of colour. It was as pale as i've ever seen a pizza to look like. But, the fillings were there. It was actually packed with chicken and onions. Taste-wise, ok la.

The best dish of the night was the appetizer that I ordered (not included in the voucher) - Cheese Nachos RM14.90. Super crunchy, and cheesy and it has chicken pieces on top too!!!
Best dish ever!!

Sushi Tei @ Gurney Plaza

Gurney Plaza has been undergoing alot of changes these past few months. Old shops are closing and new ones mushrooming.

This is especially so for restaurants! (Yay for me!)

One new restaurant that has opened its doors in Penang is Sushi Tei

It's another Japanese restaurant which I first ate-in in Singapore... yes, that was many years ago... and now it's finally available in Penang... *awesome

Like the other Japanses restaurants in Penang, they too have the sushi-on-a-conveyor-belt section to choose from.

And prefering the ala chart version, we ordered tepanyaki ramen, salmon and spicy ramen noodles! Oh, not forgetting the smooth and delicate chawanmushi.

For me I loved loved loved the soup for my spicy ramen noodles... okay i forgot the actual name of the dish... but it was so yummy!

Although the prices are abit more than the likes of Sushi King or Sakae Sushi, I suppose they offer alittle something different :)

Check this place out and find out for yourself! :)

EuroDeli in Penang

EuroDeli has opened its doors in Penang @ Gurney Plaza!

Like the name suggests, it's a deli but plus a bar... So it offers German food and beers, whiskey, cocktails ...etc.

I and a group of friends managed to get a try of the place today. We all gathered for dinner.

The place gave me a feel of old english bars@pubs. As we were there around 7.30pm, the in side was rather empty. Outside, you could see tables of people smoking and drinking...

Naturally, we chose to sit inside.

Here's how the interior looks like...

Getting down to the menu, well, we ordered quite alot! But I only managed to snap pics of a few of what we actually ordered.

Their speciality was the pork knuckle... and don't be fooled by the size.. when they say it's meant for sharing, you better believe them! I ordered half a knuckle, thinking it would be just nice for one... I was wrong! It was a big portion although only half!

 Luckily I didn't order the whole knuckle!

This was something or a mixture of meats... pork meat that is... mixture of sausages

 And this is a potato dish... er, forgot the actual name of it though.

Take a look at the dish at the far bottom... I liked this one! It's also a potato dish - fried together with bacon... simple but delish!

Puss in Boots - Movie night / Paddington's House of Pancakes

Went out with my collegues on Thursday (8.12.2011), after a seriously draining working day...Just needed to unwind and just chillax!

The nearest place was Gurney Plaza and there we watched Puss in Boots in 3D... nice movie

Christmas 2011 Decor @ Gurney Plaza

Best high-light was dinner before the movie.

It was a thursday, and we so happened to decide to eat at Paddington's House of Pancakes. And guess what! THey were having a Citibank Card promotion: Buy 1, Ger 1 Free... so awesome!

Yeah! I had wanted to go for this promo, but never could make it... until today... Muahahaha..
so we ordered 2 mains and 2 desserts... Oh, the promo doesn't include drinks though.

Here's our food... delicious!

 Also had cravings for Famous Amos Cookies!!

My favourite Chocolate Chip with Macademia nuts/Pecan nuts

Twillight - Breaking Dawn Part 1

I finally got to watch this movie! (since it premiered on the 24th Nov)
Got a friend to go with to watch this on wednesday @ GSC Gurney Plaza.
Right after work.

And we didn't even book tickets but surprisingly managed to get good seats, like the last few ones...
Get this: 3rd row from the back! How awesome is that!
Deep down, i was thinking, that I was so meant to watch this :)

The movie as expected, was like the previous installments - only, I prefered the first two better!

I was abit confused with the whole story-line but yeah... Bella got her wish at the end...

*spoilers alert*

Her baby was so cute... and Robert Pat's character Edward was just too good to be true. The lines he had was just simply romantic and 'the perfect husband'!

Oh, a special mention on the soundtract for the wedding... loved the instrumental at the beginning of the wedding :)

the ending was a cliff-hanger, quite sudden and abit confusing... until my friend explained that Edward 'converted' her... hence Bella got her wish :)

now to finish part 2 and the story would be complete....

I'm still watching the show just for complete-ness' sake. Just thought that I'd watched the first two installments, may as well just finish it :)

Lunch @ The Little Nyonya Cuisine

Lunch yesterday was at Gurney Plaza's basement. Tucked away in the basement was this newly opened restaurant serving local delicacies and Nyonya food, called The Little Nyonya Cuisine.

For appetizers we ordered Pie Tee - or popularly called "Top-Hat"

Special pie tee served with sambal!

Drinks: White coffee (RM3.80) , and plain water (RM0.80)

smooth creamy coffee

Here comes the food...

East Coast Nasi dagang curry chicken



Chicken fillet cheese



soooo cheessyyy... yummy!!!

packed with chicken too!



Satay

My cheesy chicken rice was soo good! It was packed with chicken pieces and covered with a thick blanket of cheeeeessseeeeee!!! Oh, i'm salivating just looking at the pictures.

It is a good place for families to gather and enjoy local nyonya food. Besides individual portions, they also offer separate dishes which you can order to eat with rice.

The variety of food they have in their menu is really wide. It's amazing how fast they served the food considering the variety of choices they offer. ehehee...
Good for tourist to experience our local food !
