Italian Dining - Pietro Ristorante Italiano


This is actually my second visit to Pietro. I was invited to their restaurant launching last year, they have tons and tons of nice CHEESE and good WINE. If you know me well, you would know that I'm one of the cheese hater. But Pietro's cheese is rather different, their cheese doesn't have the heavy-creamy-milky-cheese taste which I hate the most.

Another reason that I love here is the ambiance environment of the restaurant.

The big table for group dining

Dining table for date <3

Bread as the starter. The Italian style - Dip in olive oil and salt 

Zuppa di Portobello – RM25.00 – Portobello mushroom soup with touch of cream. Couldn't resist with this smooth and concentrated mushroom soup!

Carpaccio di Manzo – RM38.00 – paper thin slices of beef, served with arugula leaves, parmesan and mustard dressing. Sadly that I don't take beef, this dish looking so fresh like salmon sashimi slices! :(

Capesante – RM38.00 – Pan-fried scallops served with balsamic, rucola salad and parmesan cheese. Max love with this dish esp the rucola salad <3 

Pizza Diavola – RM32.00 – Tomatoes, Mozarella Cheese, chillies and beef pepperoni.

Taglietelle Fegato Grasso – RM82.00 – Tagliatelle served with foie gras and veal juice. Very unique taste but little heavy for me.

Taglietelle alla Bolognese – RM30.00 – Homemade tagliatelle served with hand-cut stewed beef in rich tomato sauce.

Capellini with Cubed Prawns

Branzino – RM62.00 – Whole Grilled Barramundi served with vegetables, salsa verde and salad. A big portion dish recommended for 2-3 pax, great taste with fresh meat! Nom....

Costolette d’Agnello – RM72.00 – Lamb rack served with roasted root vegetables and rosemary garlic oil

Fegato D’ oca – RM68.00 – Pan-friend duck liver served with caramelized apple and port wine. Combination of duck liver and caramelized apple, PERFECTO!

Carre’ Arrosto di Vitello – RM122.00 – Roasted veal rack served with mashed potatoes and mushrooms. 

Burrata – RM52.00 – Fresh Burrata cheese with fresh cherry tomatoes and rucola salad. Burrata is an Italian cheese made from mozzarella cheese and cream. It's kind of baby cheese with only about a week of fermentation. Even the cheese hater like me love the soft and light taste of it! =)

Merluzoz – RM68.00 – roasted cod fish with portobello mushroom and ratatouille.

Risotto con Fungi – RM45.00 – Stewed risotto Italian style with mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Another recommendation!

We were basically very full with the food but how can girls say no to dessert??? It's time for dessert yum yum!!!
Mele e Gelato – RM20.00 – Filo pastry and apples, served with vanilla gelato and vanilla sauce. 

Mixed berries with mascarpone cream

Fondant Valrhona – RM28.00 – Hot chocolate in the center, served with fresh cream and gelato.  My favourite hehehe! Choc lover! :D

Panna Cotta – RM18.00 – Italian creamy flan, served with fresh berry sauce.

Pietro’s Tiramisu – RM22.00 – Mascarpone cheese, savoiardi biscuit with Marsala wine. Indescribable good taste! Try n u'll know... 

Pure Vanilla Creme Brulee – RM20.00. I love this one, everything taste JUST right.

With Sarah. Oh yeah they have good wine too! 

With the co-owner of Pietro, Wendy Woo

According to Wendy Woo, Italians always end their meal with a cup of coffee or alcoholic beverage, strong one. 
Grappa is one of the common alcoholic choice. It’s strong (above 35% alcohol) and has the flavour of wine. Honestly, I couldn't take it, TOO STRONG.

Another would be this Limoncello liquer which is lemon liquor. Strong alcoholic beverage too but taste better than Grappa with the lemon taste.

Kathu Waterfall | Phuket


After had some morning walk at the popular Patong beach, I went to this waterfall in Kathu. The weather was as hot as the weather in Malaysia so I was really hoping for something cool and chilling! I was actually feeling little excited before I arrived in Kathu, my brain was thinking of dipping myself into the cool water! :p

Finally I'm here! 

It's only the first level of the waterfall....

Time to CLIMB! 

Huhu~~ Saw a bunch of ppl was picnic-ing with alcohol n food! It's only like 11+- in the morning!

Tadaaa! Love the sound by waterfall. Natural melody that calms our mind =)

The water is really cool!  <3 <3 <3 

There's still some staircases up to higher level but I just skipped that. Didn't wanna waste time and I felt a little dangerous and insecure of climbing too high. 


It's about 9km from Patong. Didn't plan to go here initially, just spontaneous spotted this on the GPS so we were like: "Let's go!". It's the benefit of driving in Phuket as we could go anywhere we want at anytime hehee :p Although this waterfall is not the MUST SEE in Phuket, but I didn't regret of dropping by.

Seeka Boutique Resort | Phuket

A friend of mine recommended this Seeka Boutique Resort while I was scratching my head where to stay in Phuket. Since I never stayed in any "Boutique Resort" before, so I took my friend's advice as she loved the unique Thai-style decoration of this hotel. 


Luckily we rented a car, this hotel is sorta "isolated" in Patong area. Had some hard time finding this hotel too.

The reception

Basically they decorated the hotel with variety of Thai decorations


All sorts of decoration n painting on the wall feast the guest's eyes

The bed (Standard Room)

They even decorated the bed! 

The paint on the room's wall

The bathroom


Pool view from the room ; as you can see, 3 swimmers alr occupied the whole pool /sweat 

The pool


Dining area by the pool

Seeka Boutique Resort is located in a pretty narrow street

Feeling a little disappointed as the hotel is just a very simple with some Thai decorations. Some might find this hotel interesting if they're the huge fan of nice and unique decorations. I didn't fascinated by the "decorations" so much lol... For me, EVERYTHING in the hotel is relatively SMALL. Yes, the VERY STANDARD room; small pool that I don't even feel like going swimming at all; small bathroom; n very limited car park. 

Free shuttle buses are available to the beach and shopping center and Free WIFI provided too.  The good thing about this hotel is the peacefulness as it is located far from the noisy Bangla Road and the price is very reasonable. Overall, it's worth the value of money and suits travelers who rent car/ motorbike. I spent most of the time outside on the first 2 days and this is the exact good n right hotel for me to just take a good rest. 

This is the hotel that I stayed for the first 2 days and then I moved to the other one on the last day of my Phuket trip. I totally in love with the 2nd hotel, so stay tune!

Patong Beach | Phuket

สวัสดีค่ะ  Sawadeeka!!!! This is my first post since I back from Phuket! Went to this famous island for a 4D3N short getaway last weekend.  ชอบภูเก็ตมากมาก (which means I really Phuket so much!) 

Heheee still can hear ppl speaking Thai when I back to Malaysia. Malaysia and Thailand really make good neighbourhood!   Don't we??

The first beach I went on the first day, Patong Beach

I love beach so much but ironically, I hate sun. This is the first beach I went after having breakfast at about 10am in the morning (Thailand time of course). The weather is JUST NICE and the sun not too hot.

The wind was just strong, and this photo is like I'm taking some hair commercial print ads photo lol...

Patong beach is the top and most the popular beach in Phuket. Every tourist MUST GO beach. That makes this beach crowded, people even started standing along the beach side early in the morning to attract tourists for numerous beach activities. Obviously, it's the bustling seaside. Speaking of the cleanliness, for sure this is not the clean one in Phuket but....better than the most of the beaches in Malaysia.



And this RED ALERT flag is placing in ALL the beaches I went! (looks like people still not forgetting the Tsunami strike few years back). NO SWIMMING! Alright I'm a good girl SO I LISTEN!  :p

Get Soft n Kissable Lips | Dry Lips Rescue


The weather is kinda hot recently, most of the time I'm very annoyed by dry and chapped lips. We always want a kissable plumped lips! By just applying lip balm doesn't seem to be enough to those who're having very dry lips, LIKE ME! :( . SOS needed!!!! 

Tools needed for kissable lips:

Toothbrush, Q-tip and Vaseline! 

Step 1: Exfoliation

You could easily find lip exfoliation products out there, but here are my tips if you do not have one!

Using wet toothbrush gently massage your lips 

Step 2: Moisture, Soften n Double Exfoliation

Prepare a Q-tip with some Vaseline

Remove the remaining dead skin n moisturize the lips, wipe it with tissue if there's too much Vaseline

Step 3: Double Moisture

Moisture your lips again by using the non-alcohol/ non-fragrance/ non-addictive toner. Choose the  GENTLE n MOISTURIZING product.

Hada Labo is my choice!

Use a cotton pad

Tap tap and tap to moisture your lips! Leave it for 1 min after tapping to get better result.

Very simple steps to get the baby lips in like, less than 5 mins! Give it a try :)
