Food Escapade at Tsumura

The fiance and I randomly decided to have lunch at a fine dining restaurant.  What was supposed to be a quick lunch to a fast food (because we both had meetings to attend to right after lunch time) turned out to be a lunch out at Tsumura Sushi Bar and Restaurant.

Food Escapade at Eat Fresh Hong Kong Famous Street Food

Hong Kong is my favorite city in the world because of a lot of things.  One reason is because I love their food.  If you ask me what food I can eat everyday for the rest of my life, I'd say that would have to be siomai and bacon - in a heart beat. 

Recently, my fiancé brought mo to an eatery with Hong Kong street food's concept.

Food Escapade at All-Day Breakfast in Bed

I guess a lot will agree with me when I say that breakfast never gets old.  By that, I mean, breakfast food is something that you can eat anytime of the day.

There is a new restaurant that opened in Mandaluyong.  And yes, you guessed it right - it's a restaurant that serves breakfast food!  What caught my attention on this restaurant is the interior design.  Walls are painted white so you can immediately see what's inside.  There are headboards inside as well!  You'd think there are beds inside!

Here is one of the tables inside the restaurant

Review: K-Palette 1 Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyeliner

As a makeup lover, you are always searching for a Holy Grail product - the best of the best.  It really is a big help when there are a lot of raves about certain products and they all basically say the same thing - that this or that product is the best!  Sometimes, what is wrong with reading rave reviews is that you end up buying the product even if you don't need to.  I know it's not exactly a good trait BUT I also know that I am not the only woman experiencing this.

Now, that was exactly why I purchased K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner.  I got mine in Korea since it is slightly cheaper.  I didn't bother swatching or testing it out anymore because I was more than convinced that this product works.

Food Escapade at Black Canyon Coffee

I love food and I love to eat but I don't love spicy food.  I just can't take it.  I actually envy people who can eat spicy food.  So, when my mom and I went to Bangkok, I was so worried on what to eat because the food there is spicy.  I remember trying my luck at KFC and ordered the original chicken but it was still spicy.  I wasn't able to finish my chicken.

My mom insisted that we eat at Black Canyon Coffee.  She's been raving about this restaurant and has been telling me that they have the best Pad Thai ever.  I couldn't be as estatic as she was because, well, Pad Thai is spicy.  My mom won and we dined anyway.

True enough the food was great.  I ordered pasta and it was good!  It was a bit spicy but I just downed it with water cos I didn't really have a choice but to finish it.

Last week, my mom texted me that her favorite restaurant in Bangkok is now in Manila!  She was even shocked upon finding out that it's been in Manila for more than a year!  So, we went right away to have dinner!

I still wasn't as excited as she was.  But I was curious to know if it tastes the same as the one in Bangkok.

May Product Empties

Last month's product empties are not alot. Basing from the photo, I don't even have a makeup product empty - which is both good and bad.

So, here's the rundown of May's product empties:

1. Asian Secrets Lulur Scrub. I started using it when I saw Solenn's commercial. The claim that it whitens and smoothens the skin was secondary. Solenn is an effective endorser, haha! So did it work? I don't think so. I didn't notice my skin getting lighter than it already is. This scrub has a nice scent though and the particles didn't hurt my skin when rubbed against it. The only reason I bought this again was because this was on sale at SM - more of buy 1, take 1 for PhP130.  I'm now on the second jar.

2. VMV Elation Shampoo & Conditioner. This is, by far, the best mint shampoo & conditioner that I have used in my life! No kidding! Its minty feeling takes away your sleepiness! It also smells good even though the scent is not fruity or flowery. Think of Zen or a therapeutic aroma - the good kind. I have tried other minty shampoos and conditioners but they can't compare to VMV.  It's just too bad that this line of shampoo is not locally available :(

3. L'Oreal Fall Repair 3x Shampoo & Conditioner. I accidentally threw away the conditioner bottle when I finished it. I got these products from BDJ Box. Yes, this is the one endorsed by JLo. Does it work? Not so. I still experience fall out. I'm more used to having fall out that I am surprised if there it very little fall out when I shower.  True story.  I don't think I will buy this product again.

So, that's it for my second product empties!  Hopefully, there will be more in the upcoming months!

Happy Tuesday, ladies!
