Sanoook

On 24th June, I was invited by a friend for food tasting at a new opening restaurant at Sunway Pyramid Hotel West. As usual, the traffic at KL was heavy on Friday. It took about 1 hour for me to reach there, but it was totally worth it.

Salmon Cream Croquette - RM19/plate

The dinner started around 7.30pm. We were honoured with a sitting at the VIP room. It was private & had a nice environment located at the side of the restaurant. The starter-salmon cream croquette was recommended by the Captain. For me, this starter looks like chicken nuggets. We were served very quickly and it was great because we were all hungry. The combination of salmon flakes with cheese was very yummy.

One of their signatures - Sushi Burger

(Soft shell crab w Thai mango chilli sauce)

Next, we ordered a few more dishes to taste. Yummy, yummy! The next food served was their signature sushi burger. The soft shell crab was fried nicely and not over cooked, and it mixes well with the spicy chilli. 

The food ordering system was very efficient.  We were given a tablet with a digital menu and just had to tap on the food images.

Tomyam soup w River Prawn

Their Tomyam soup, highly recommended! Very "hiong"with the lemongrass, kaffirr lime leaves, fresh big prawn & mushrooms.

If you prefer to share and try a few type of starters. I suggest that you to order the 4 season platter RM38/plate. It comes with a special dipping sauce which is very tasty.

I also ordered the Salmon Sashimi. A plate with 5pcs costs RM16.  Trust me, after your first taste, you will want to order more.  

Don't miss the chance to taste the signature skewers with grilled scallop & salmon. When I put them in my mouth, they just melt.

I really like the story behind Sanoook. Sanoook is inspired by the owner's love affair with Thai and Japanese cuisine. Thus, she had an idea to open a restaurant with this combination. Whoever likes Thai and spicy food as well as Japanese can have their meal at the same place.

Honestly, the seafood they serve is fresh. It's really a heaven for the foodies. If you happen to be in Sunway Lagoon or Sunway Pyramid, why not just drop by and try out this restaurant. Don't forget to try their salmon w scallop skewers!

Pink Party - Pink by Pure Beauty - brought by Watsons

First of all, I would like to thank Jude Benjamin Lisa for inviting me as a part to join this party. Mr Jude is an Asst. Marketing Manager, PR & Communication for Watsons. It was exciting to Buka Puasa with the lovely Pink Bloggers as well as the VIP members from Watsons.

Party held at Talent Lounge, PJ Trade Centre.

To kick start the session, the Chef held a demonstration on preparing pink pudding and making cookies. This was a welcome activity to help us with the coming Hari Raya celebration. It will be nice if we bring a packet of homemade cookies while visiting our Muslim friends during Raya time. I shall be practicing a few times before giving any away to my colleagues. Haha.. don't want the cookies to be too hard nor too sweet.

For guests who arrived early, we enjoyed a hair makeover session by Elite. So many hair clips to choose! I love bling-bling! Thanks to the hair professional stylist for doing a makeover for my messy hair after rushing there from work. Haha!

Finally, they opened the buffet line for Berbuka Puasa. There was a large variety of food to choose. I liked the curry, fried sotong and the banana dessert - All tasted very special. 

While having our dinner, we were entertained with a Hijab demonstration brought by ZALORA. Those Hijab colours were all sweet sweet pink. No wonder, most of Muslim bloggers were quite excited and asking for prices, and logging to ZALORA's webpage on the spot. Although I'm not a Muslim, but from the demonstration, I now know how Malay ladies use the Hijab.

Thank you for the goodie bag. Stand by for my review of the So Blur Cream.

Cameron Highlands

This week, we went to Cameron for a short trip. It's been around 3 years since I been there. The most attractive part of Cameron for me is the weather - the cooling weather. We departed on an early Saturday morning from Petaling Jaya by car and luckily, traffic was smooth. We took about 3 hours to reach there.

Yong Teng Cafe, Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands - I accidentally found these details on the internet before the day of the trip. Using Waze, it was easy to reach it's destination. If not mistaken, their signature dish is pancake - You can choose it either plain, or with a selection of the fruit toppings plus ice cream. I ordered the peach pancake. In the cool weather, eating the pancake is so enjoyable. The combination is perfect with warm pancake, with some honey with peach plus the vanilla ice cream on top. What a good combination!  They also served western food, local food and etc. I love the chicken chop, it's a big portion and super crunchy. Until now, I can still remember the taste of their food. I'll surely go there again if the next time we visit Cameron Highlands.

Yong Teng was awarded a 4.5 star guest rating at tripadvisor in year 2015.

DaYung's - Taiwanese Fresh Fruit Beverage 大苑子茶飲專賣店

Malaysia is starting to get a large variety of food and beverage specialists from overseas over the past few years. That's the trend now. Everyone likes to try new things and are willing to pay for it. 

Today, I would like to recommend the healthy Taiwanese fresh fruit specialist which is originally from Taiwan. DaYung's Tea has established over 200 outlets in Taiwan. Malaysia's first store opened at Sunway Putra Mall and the second store is located at Paradigm Mall.  

Manager of the day - My FM - Jason

DaYung's drinks are made from natural ingredients and use fresh fruit for juicing. Their featured drinks are fresh fruit juices, teas, vinegar-based drinks, yogurt drinks and others. According to the Manager, they will launch new flavours from time to time. Their signature drinks are "fresh fruit juice" and "mango smoothies". Actually I tried both and I like them both. For me, juice made by fruit is a healthier drink, no harm to drink more. It helps my skin and is good for digestion. I'd suggest to order with less sugar to stay healthier.

Their star beverage, "Fresh fruit juice'

Check out and try the drink if you drop by the mall. There are so many choices for you to try.

You may refer to the official website for their new launched beverages and branches:
