Good thing about subscribing to Lilac Box is that they only send you the premium products! It's like a guarantee so you don't have to worry; especially for girls like me with some concern of my sensitive skin, I would have no worries at all in subscribing and wait for their products!

Friday Lunch @ Watami

Japanese Food, one of my all time favourite food hehe... Why I love Japanese food so much? Other than the sashimi, I think most of the other Japanese cuisine are almost the similar as Chinese cuisine. Rice, seafood, ramen, etc... I'm also kind of girl who doesn't love heated food too. In other words they are more healthy.., and of course tasty nom nom...

I always wanted to taste this new restaurant @ Watami , but my friends prefer Sushi Zanmai over this; moreover, they're more costly than Sushi Zanmai. There were one Friday that one of my friend were taking off from work then we headed to Paradigm Mall to fix my Japanese craving at Watami , like, finally!

They are having lunch menu for the weekdays, it's cheaper than dinner.

You may check their lunch menu by clicking this link

All sets comes with salad, and drinks. Mine with miso soup too.

Chinese Tea for my friend; Ice Lemon Tea for me ;)

Shoyu Ramen set for me.

The closer look of my ramen - The noodle and the soup are just right but I didn't really like the chicken and the "salted or century" egg.  Chicken are rather hard and not juice and the egg, weird taste for me. o.O

Set E (RM25.90) - Shoyu Ramen, Miso Soup, Salad, Drinks before Salmon Oshizushi was served.

Salmon Oshizushi, included in my set too - Raw Salmon with teriyaki sauce.

Ahmmmm....I was already SOO FULL! The rice is stickier and thicker than usual sushi. @.@

My friend's order - Set I (RM23.90) : Ishiyaki Salmon & Tobikko Gohan

Fish roe included in Set I!

Additional order : Gokujou Chawanmushi RM6.90 

Then dessert! Matcha Parfait - RM13.90 

Nom nom...Get so excited when eating the top (filled with Rice balls, Oreo, Matcha ice-cream, read bean), but when come to the bottom which filled with corn-flake, I felt rather disappointed.

The cozy environment with lovely designs, the lantern and the woods giving the authentic Japan feel LOLLL...

I just realized there's some funny thing when I upload this picture, there was 1 staff making funny pose and I didn't realize it! HAHAAHAAA!!!

Overall I think it is not 100% satisfaction to me, maybe I didn't order the right dish and still, I think I will try for second time. Service in Paradigm Mall branch is quite good.

Pimples and Blackheads ALL GONE! [Silkpeel Treatment @ Face Factors Clinic]

Yay!! Thanks to Dell's efficient service my laptop problem is now fixed! Which means I got no more excuse to be a lazy blogger LOL!

I went for a special facial treatment during the end of the month of November. Special facial? Yes! It is not like the normal facial that we normally do ( cleanse, exfoliation, masks, massage, extraction, and the list goes on). It is just less than 30 minutes treatment, to eliminate all the unwanted pimples and blackheads on the face! It is called  SILKPEEL TREATMENT ! 

Well, in just less than 30 minutes, this therapy acts as an multi-task agent: Serum, Exfoliation, Lymphatic Drainage, and also Nerve Stimulation.

The machine, it basically use this to "Absorb" all the dirts/ pimples/ blackheads on the face.

Closer look of the machine.

The skincare and products used for this treatment.

It's actually a treatment that cleanse deep beneath your skin. 

The Current Line-up of SilkPeel™ Dermalinfusion™ Solutions Treat:

• Melasma and PIH: Improving dark spots brought on by age, UV damage, and hormonal changes.

• Acne: Gently delivering salicylic acid into the hair follicle to painlessly treat blemishes while evacuating and cleansing the skin of unwanted sebum.

• Dehydration: Rapidly infusing Hyaluronic Acid and anti-oxidants into the cells to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve the moisture and balance of the skin.

• Pre-Laser Capillary Conditioning: Improve the chromophore for hemoglobin-targeting lasers by topical delivery of the vasodilator niacin.

Alright let's skip all the explanation, time to view the results! 

With no photoshop/edit/ filter at all, FRESH FROM CAMERA!

Before and after. 

If you see it carefully, the skin is brighten, pores are tighten and there's a small pimples under my nose, is cleaned!!!  The eyes and face are lifted too! I really love the immediate result! MAX LOVEEEE! There are TWO different Sillkpeel Treatment, one is HYDRATION and another one is for PIGMENTATION. The therapist uses HYDRATION with serum for my skin, to absorb ALL THE DIRTS, and another Serum with more gentle absorber for my eye areas.

  

It's not the beauty center with the normal treatment that I expected, it is a clinic, beauty clinic I mean. FaceFactors is a premier aesthetic and wellness clinic, the doctor actually posses a certificate in this area, beauty stuffs. The clinic also offers a complete range of services ranging from advanced aesthetic and anti-aging solutions, unique body treatments and hand and nail therapies.

Depending on cases, mine doesn't need to consult doctor.

Waiting room - not a big but comfortable one.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the service, the therapists are very professional and the whole treatment is real quick, a treatment suitable for busy-working-lady. But there're no massage or relaxing music in a dark room like the normal facial. However the effect is SIGNIFICANT, FAST; all the dirts absorbed effectively which leaves the skin smooth and supple.

Casual Saturday Night

My Dell laptop is dying again, hard disk can't be detected! :( I think this gonna take quite a while for the repair job to be done. Luckily I have my smart phone with me so that I don't have to abandon my blog. I'm updating this with my Samsung Note I. 

Well, normally I won't blog about my casual day out cause I find it's nothing special. But I gonna update this space on my last night hang out with some little special thing that made my Saturday night not so special. :p

H&M @ Paradigm Mall is on sales! Some kind of opening sales, I suppose. Bought some winter clothes for my next trip to Hong Kong. So anticipated for this trip!!! :D

Then, went to Zanmai for dinner. Zanmai had become like my 2nd kitchen that I will dine in here regularly every month! Where else better than here for authentic Japanese Food with affordable price?   

Salmon Sashimi is a dish that I would order for sure! 

Another sushi plate that I ordered. :) 

This is the one I wanna recommend to you all! WINTER SEAFOOD NABE! 

If you're a fans of Zanmai, you would know Nabe is actually small steamboat. I recommend this cause this is really nice!! Clear soup base, with lots of seafood like prawn, fish, scallop, squid an oyster, mushrooms, taufu, half a corn and vegetables. Go and try it out it's only until 20th this month! Why I love this so much?  All the seafood are so fresh, and this is of course a dish for seafood + veggie lover, like me! XD

Nah, closer look on the Ingredient. Yum..

My Saturday night ended with a greatest movie of the year, The Hobbit ! It's really an awesome movie and I'm not going to be a spoiler and I will skip telling you all the story synopsis. But compare to The Lord of the Ring, I personally think this is a better one! Just think that everything is improved! From the cast to movie soundtracks, I got nothing to complain about. Only 1 complain I have, I can't wait for Part 2 already!! For better understanding, I suggest to read the book before going for this movie or if you're a lazy one, watch The Lord of The Ring will helps too. Must go go and watch ya!! I rate it 5/5 hehe..  

This post is updated with my Samsung Galaxy Note I so I hope the quality and all are fine. I'm using Google Chrome on Android cause my sister's lost all her pictures in her blog due to some synchronize issue then I don't wanna risk it by using any apps.

Hope you enjoy your weekend too, good night!
