Post-exam

I think I would only visit this blog in holidays. During the busy school days, I thirst for holidays and now, during the holidays, I wish to have some things to do. That's human nature right?
After the semester examination, I have taken plenty of good food which makes my tummy rounder and rounder. The first meal I had was at Ding Tai Fung, the Gardens. I was informed by friends that this is a award winning restaurant with restaurant chains in several countries and was ranked top 10 restaurant in the world in 1993 by The New York Times. Surprisingly, the price of the food is reasonable while the food is in good taste as well. I tried the original Xiao Long Bao, Xiao Long Bao with crabs poweder (not much different from the original except the price), Drunken Chicken (served cold with nice smell of alcohol, great!), Tauhu with osyter source (the source was scrumptious), Handmade Ramen with pork chop and a glass of soya.

I paid my second visit with my sister here 2 days later. This time was worthier as I ordered the setlunch comprises 3 pieces of Xiao Long Bao and Fish Dumplings respectively, Fried Rice with eggs and prawns (the prawns were really big and fresh) and a cup of chinese tea which only costs Rm19.90 per person. I ordered a set for my sister, Da Bao with pork and a glass of soya. We were so full and satisfied with the food.

There was another good place to dine in at Wangsa Maju (though it took me 1 and 1/2 hour from Bukit Bintang due to the massive traffic jam). The 4 Seasons Restaurant is a well furnished restaurant consists of four compartments with different themes which are spring, summer, autumn and winter. After several days of being in sauna (the weather), we decided to have our meals and also Sui Teng's birthday celebration in the winter compartent. Initially, it was fun with cold environment but as the time passed, being in only a thin T-shirt, I began to have generalised tremor. The more challenging part was i had ordered a glass of icy cool drink and trying to finished it with my shivering lips.


There are 4 built-in airconds (1 is out of the picture).


Dining under the blue light setting is cozy and comfortable.

The food price is reasonable which only cost me RM 18 for a Japanese Prawn Udon Mee and a green ice blended drink with many jellys in which I forgot its name.

Did I mention Bukit Bintang just now? Yes, I did. On the same day, I did something that I have never done before. There is a big burning hole at my wallet. Finally, I bought the whole set of Basic Three from Clinique. It remains the best recommended brand after a survey of facial products from my friends. In fact, I only planned to buy the traveller's pack recommended by Su Teng. However, there was no such packing in KL and thus, I had to pay more to buy the larger pack. Guess what? I remember I used to criticise the service of the Clinique counter in Isetan, Lot 10 in a post a year ago. Ironically, I ended up buying the set from the same counter this time. Of course, the beautician (promoter suits them more) this time was not the stupid, arrogant Jenny. This time, there was a friendly and approachable promoter, namely Nancy, gave the detail explaination. Yup, I remember she was the one who gave me some samples when I went for second consultation last year (No more the bitch Jenny). Together with the purchase, she gave me 15ml of face scrub and 7ml of turnaround concentrtae (this is expensive). When I asked for more, she was generous enough to take some displayed sample of pore minimising serum and mask into the containers. Unfortunately, the eye gel of the displayed sample had reached its bottom but she asked me back after 2 weeks for skin evaluation and mini facial. She said that she doesn't think that I am going to buy these stuffs but it is nothing wrong give some for me to try. Yeah, that's the way. I like her service.
