KiKi by Foong Lye - Taiwan Cuisine in KLCC

Last night I have a small gathering with friends (aka ex-collegues). Decided to try out this new bistro since it was new in KLCC. I guess it was the cat design that caught my attention (Yup, I love cats!). Love the cute design on the menu too.


The place was crowded when we walked in but managed to get a corner seat. Love how they decorate the place. It's quite cozy to have a meal with your friends or family.


While checking out their menu, I was surprised that there are various selection of set meal to choose from. I have a tough time deciding....and I was not alone because my friends have the same problem too. =p



After a while, we finally made our order. While waiting, we have our drinks served to us first. 


Appetizer were served: Sweet Potato Balls.


After a while, our meals were served! Each meal set comes with a soup and side dishes. Each set comes in a reasonable portion so there is no worry that you're not able to finish it.


During the course of our dinner, my friends surprised me with a big paper bag on the table.

I was speechless because the paper bag is from O’Briens, an Irish Sandwich Cafe. But after peeping inside the paper bag, it was actually a belated birthday gift for me. I was really touched, but I was even more surprise when they got me a Kinohimitsu Collagen drinks, which I have been eyeing for some time (I was planning to buy after completing my Lennox Collagen drinks). Not only did I get a present from them, the gals also treat me for dinner too (double joy!).



To me, a present do not need to be expensive; it's the thought that count and the friends that you can shared with on your special day (even though it was belated), which I think it is priceless. To end this, I want to say a Big Thanks to my ‘makan kaki’ and dearest friends. You guys had make my day special.



Lennox Firm Up Collagen Drink Review

When it comes to collagen, you name it, I tried it. When I came across this promotion on Lennox Firmup Collagen Drink at Sasa three weeks ago, I bought it without any hesitation. It cost RM135 for 24 bottles, which I think it is a bargain since a normal box only have 10 bottles and it cost around RM70 (Yesterday I saw the same promotion in Guardian). One bottle contained of 5,000 mg of collagen. For first time user you are required to take 1 bottle a day for consecutive 10 days. After that you can take 1 bottle on alternative day.  



Will I buy this again? The answer is perhaps... if there is a promotion. So far this is the cheapest alternative collagen drink I find in the market because brands like Kinohimistsu is quite pricey for me.

Surprise Goodies from Taiwan - Face Mask

A friend of mine recently went to Taiwan for a holiday and she came back with a bag of goodies for me. 


I just love the masks that she got for me because these masks have ear hooks to put over your ears.


 In addition to the mask she also got me a key chain, which is so cute and unique. A big thanks to my good friend Sharon...muak! You are the best!!!

Lai Lai Casual Dining at NEX @ Serangoon

I was hanging out in a new shopping center called Nex, which is located at Serangoon Mrt (Circle Line). Quite a number of F&B outlet to choose from  and imagine the dilemma my friend and I have to go through to decide which restaurant to try. Eventually, my love for pork and eggs pull me into this restaurant when their poster displays their popular dish. And their cute cow logo was so cute that we decided to give it a try.


My buddy posing with the menu.


  The interior in this restaurant is simple but comfortable. 
Even their paper handkerchief has their cute cow ass logo printed on it.


The restaurant offered varieties of dishes, but their all day set dishes are worth trying it since you can order one main dish, one side dish and a drink. 


Decided to try out the set B, and I just love it....although I find the salt chicken a bit too dry and oily for me.



The next time I went to visit this place, I came again with another friend and we ordered the same set but different side dishes, that is the grilled saba and fried brinjal with pork floss. We love the grilled Saba fish, but we find that the fried brinjal a big disappointment as the brinjal is too dry and oily.


Overall experience I will give it a 4 out of 5 stars. Worth dropping by and give it a try.
