Yummy 'Appletox Peeling Cream' from Tony Moly Korea

For the last couple of months I've been wanting to write a review about beauty products that I've tried, since I also looked for some before I buy one. So this is it! The first review would be the yummiest beauty product I've ever had, Appletox Peeling Cream.

When I first heard 'peeling', I was reluctant. My mom suffered a lot when she went for a series of peeling with a skin specialist, yet with very low impact. Dissapointing. Apparentlyyy, there are various beauty products out there offering at-home peeling which are very safe to use. I was browsing for skin care products on 'Make Up Shop' Facebook account when I found this one, and from a very cute store named Tony Moly.

Sushi Groove - Does it really groovy?

As a food enthusiast, I'd like to try new food while trying to be selective at the same time, since I have sensitive stomach. But, it's hard to resist cute sushi that comes with various ingredients :D Sushi Groove has 12 new menus, varies from all natural Deep Forest to all fruity Mango Megumi, I tried 8 of them.

The best that I had is of course, 'Mango Megumi'. The mango tasted fresh, although the cream cheese is too much that I can't barely taste the salmon. If you want something creamy yet fresh, this is the right choice. The second best in my opinion is 'Saboro Chicken' with cute green tobikko, that is tobikko mixed with wasabi. Don't really taste the wasabi, though, but the sweet&spicy mayo covers it all. You'll find tuna inside, ask for a fresh tuna. The third one is 'Salmon Mentai' which is salty. When some have not enough sauce, this one definitely has too many sauce that, again, I can't really taste the freshness of the salmon.

Pasta de Waraku - More Than Just Japanese Pasta!

Looking for pasta? Here is the place. Looking for tasty green tea ice cream? Here is the even most perfect place. Not too sweet, not too bitter, with a strong green tea flavor on top of sweet glazed baked bread, and garnished with fresh red bean, their new "Macha Hanito" is perfect! If only they could give more ice cream so that we could finish the whole bread without running out of the tasty macha, it would be awesome! :D By the way, it was soooo good, I completely forgot to take a picture for it instead there's an alternative "Mix-Fruit Hanito" if you enjoy freshness.

Ah, sorry for coming with the desert first! It was just too good too miss, hihi... I had visited Pasta de Waraku quite often in the past, especially when they first opened the store in Indonesia. As its called, they offered a wide variations of pasta, mostly spaghetti, with several options of sauces. Their specialty is 'wafu' sauce, said to be made from fish! Makes all their food is without MSG. No MSG, once again! Personally, I looove their basil sauce, which taste salty and sweet enough, yet with creamy basil tasted so delightful you wouldn't want to stop eating!

The Edge - Good Candle Light Dinner in Jakarta

It's been a while since I last write. Soooo many things to share, so little time. Last month was my anniversary with my lovely boyfriend, and it took me a whole day just to browse a perfect place for a romantic candle light dinner. At the beginning, we agree to have a dinner at Cassis, but then again it doesn't have candle light! Finally, a friend of mine suggest The Edge, where a friend of his was once had a candle light dinner.

When I called to reserve, the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. I told him that this is our first anniversary, so I want him to set us a place far from other tables. He said he will choose the best outdoor spot, with candle lights arranged like Valentine's Day and please feel free to bring my own flower or other decorations (engg... shouldn't guys be doing that? *poke my bf). Anyway, it was raining, so I was guessing that the plan has failed but it turns out to be just fine.

It was on a building, we park on the basement and went straight to the 5th floor. Stepping out from the elevator, there's a receptionist table on the right, which is empty. There two tables at the left with beautiful white sofas, and a television. Straight in front of the elevator is a door to the outside tables, where it still rains a bit. When the waiter approached us, I told him my reservations, and he apologize that he's been re-setting my table 3 times that day!! He said that he set it on the afternoon, then it rains so he had to clean it. Then the rain stops, and starts again, and again. So he let us sit on the white sofa while ordering the menu, and will set us the table outdoor near the entrance, which still has roof a bit :)
