Thank God I made it that night and brought Rambo along to accompany me to try out Majestic good food I raved about since 2 years ago. Thanks for inviting me every year for review, I really appreciates it and will do my very best to attend it for sure.

Gather your closest family and friends for a unique dining experience, you'll be spoilt like the king and queen for malay big feast. Featuring two open kitchens, Contango serves a wide variety of dishes freshly prepared to order, with cuisine ranging from Thai, Japanese to Western Grill and Italian, including a special focus on Local Malay Cuisine this month.

The Festive Variety Dinner at Contango will be held from 25 May to 25 June and is priced at RM145 nett per person. There are cold beverages like like Sirap, Soya Bean, Sugarcane or hot Teh Tarik that you must try, I liked it very very hot especially. Check it out yourself, you won't regret it for sure. 

Head to the taste of the northern flavours at the nasi campur section for mouth-watering dishes such as ikan patin masak tempoyak, sotong masak asam, ayam sambal bunga kantan, masak lemak telur itik, sambal ikan bakar and pajeri terung.

Savour more than a hundred classic Malay recipes prepared specially by Chef Zaidi and his team presenting the famous nasi minyak jentayan which was formerly brought in from Sumatra Selatan by the Indonesian traveller. Other side dishes such as udang goreng berempah pulau mutiara, sambal bilis cek mek molek and acar buah senandung malam.

Be sure to follow the alluring aroma of the authentic cuisine that fills the elegant Function Rooms at Level 3 for the tantalising traditional delights. Even the Goreng Pisang, it is one of the best I ever had in my 41 years of life after indulging the 1st one fed by my hubby Rambo, 'manja'ly. 

Haha...He knew I love to indulge fried hot Goreng Pisang but dare not take any oily food nowadays due to my age for good health in the long run. But coming for buffet review, how could I resist my favourite childhood food for tea break snack for years. No way! Secretly, I curi curi took 2 rounds of Goreng Pisang that night guiltily and told everyone how yummy it was. 

There are at least 9 states of Malaysia widespread food you can indulge during this year's Ramadan at Majestic Hotel so don't miss the boat ya. Udang Goreng Berempah Pulau Mutiara, actually udang goreng berempah is an original recipe came all the way from Pulau Pinang. 

You can also try out the tender and flavourful Kambing Kerutub with soft and fragrant nasi hujan panas seasoned with local spices, turmeric and shallots or nasi putih that will be introduced throughout the festive season.

New EVERSOFT™ Cleansers That Do More

For more updates, check out EversoftSkinz at https://www.facebook.com/EversoftSkinz/ 

EVERSOFT™ is one of my favourite brand of skincare since my younger days, but today I'm using their Whitening+Antiaging skincare faithfully. Whether you are a home maker, student, or a working adult, there are times when you are rushing to leave home or just longing to get into bed after a long day. An essential not to be missed step to healthy skin is effective facial cleansing whether one uses makeup or otherwise. Just cleansing itself is not sufficient. For greater convenience, Eversoft now come with value added benefits.

These time saving products combines multiple cleansing steps into 1 product - EVERSOFT™ Tomato Micellar Cleansing Water removes makeup, cleanse and tones; while EVERSOFT™ Yuzu 2 in 1 Cleanser & Toner is perfect for those who do not wear makeup. Formulated with Japanese Technology and ingredients, these new cleansers are paraben-free, SLS free, alcohol free, and mineral oil free.

The two new EVERSOFT™ cleansers offer more than just provide basic face cleansing needs. Users can now cleanse their skin while it tones and remove make up without the need for a wash off from these multifunctional cleansers. User will also benefit greatly from the organic extracts of Yuzu and Tomato as they provide the nourishment and protection besides being safer to our skin. The use of organic plant actives in skincare enhances our skin’s natural function and optimises skin regeneration for healthier skin.

EVERSOFT™ Yuzu 2 in 1 Cleanser & Toner

EVERSOFT™ Yuzu 2 in 1 Cleanser & Toner is an express formula that combines 2 cleansing steps in 1. The pink encapsulated beads are enriched with Tea Tree Oil and Vitamin E that cleanses deep within the skin to draw out impurities, while organic Yuzu extracts helps soothe skin redness, reduce acne formation, and removes skin blemishes. This cleanser cleanses and clarifies in one single step without leaving any residue. This step can then be continued with serum and moisturiser to complete the skincare regime.

The scent of the cleanser is soothingly nice but the most enjoying part is the cooling effect when I pampered it all over my face and neck gently. Such a pampering moment for me during my bathing time. It's gentle for my dry, dull skin and not drying my skin at all although I took forever to cleanse my face excitedly. Haha...After I came out from the bathroom, I can see that my face looked radiant bright and glowing with deep clean skin. Definitely one of my favourite cleanser of all time, in fact I was about to purchase a new one after finishing the old ones and it appeared before my eyes that week.

EVERSOFT™ Tomato Micellar Cleansing Water

This water-based EVERSOFT™ Tomato Micellar Cleansing Water is gentle yet effective in removing makeup and impurities. It is enriched with organic Tomato extract, which is known for its anti-oxidation properties to fight against free radicals due to UV and pollutant exposure as well as to tone the skin and refine pores. It contains Bio-Hyaluronic acid to retain skin moisture and prevent water loss. It makes our skin feel cleansed and moisturised. This makeup remover does not require rinse-off hence you may skip the foam-cleansing and toner steps. Apply your moisturiser after removing makeup and you are done.

EVERSOFT™ Cleansers are made of gentle and effective formulation that can deeply cleanse your skin of impurities without over drying, while maintaining its natural moisture balance. Every wash feeds your skin with nutrients for a clear, healthy complexion. True, I find it's easy to remove my makeup real easily and effectively, at the same time it's not drying my skin at all. One of the best Micellar Cleansing Water I had ever used in my 41 years of life.

DKSH Launches Meditree Tea Tree To Help Skin Stay Clear In A Natural Way

DKSH Business Unit Healthcare, a leading partner for healthcare companies seeking to grow their business in Asia, helped Byron Origins Pty. Ltd. to introduce Meditree’s Tea Tree range of skincare products in Malaysia during a launch event. Consumers will now have access to the Meditree Tea Tree range of products in local pharmacies nationwide.

The Meditree Tea Tree range includes the Tea Tree Facial Cleanser, Tea Tree Face Scrub & Mask, Tea Tree Hydrator, Tea Tree Acne Gel and 100% Tea Tree Oil. Meditree Tea Tree is a skincare range that uses pure, organic and naturally derived ingredients to help cleanse and clarify acne prone skin. I was glad I made it that afternoon to learn more about skin and getting to know more about Meditree Pure Australian Botanicals products in town.

Specially formulated to suit oily, combination and acne prone skin, the Meditree Tea Tree combines the natural ingredients tea tree and willow bark extract which work hand-in-hand to reduce pimples and acne while leaving the skin fresh and clean. Tea Tree has anti-septic properties while willow bark extract contains the highest natural form of salicylic acid which makes it ideal as an anti-inflammatory agent on the skin.

Meditree – a name blended from the words ‘Medicinal Tree’ – encapsulates purity and tranquility of nature, combining ingredients with active vitamins, herbal extracts and essential oils to create a simple, and nourishing acne skin solution for consumers with different skin types. “With its theme to ‘Stay Clear, Stay Natural’, Meditree aspires to deliver fresh and natural skin care solution without synthetic fillers, preservative and foaming agents,” said Chua I-Lin, Senior Manager, Product Management Consumer Health, Healthcare, DKSH Malaysia at the launch of Meditree Tea Tree.

At the launch, DKSH has also invited Dr. Nazirin Arrifin, a renowned dermatologist from Pantai Hospital, to offer professional advice and tips to manage acne prone skin. According to Dr. Nazirin, acne affects not only teenagers who are undergoing puberty, but it is also prevalent among adults aged between 30 to 50. Common types of acne include white and black heads, small inflammatory papules (red spots) and pustules (red spots with pus).

While the usual causes of acne include stress, genetic predisposition as well as fluctuations of the androgen hormone for teenagers, Dr. Nazirin noted that acne is sometimes left untreated until it becomes severe, and this leads to physical and psychological problems such as permanent scaring, low self-esteem, depression or even social withdrawal at a later stage.

“Choosing the right product that suits your skin type is important because the skin needs to be cleansed daily to get rid of dirt, excess oil and bacteria that can potentially clog pores and bring about acne,” added Dr. Nazirin. “With Meditree, we believe that the Tea Tree range which contains plant-based ingredients will help those with this common skin condition,” added Chua.

Meditree is 100% natural and organic skincare brand from Australia. Apart from Malaysia, Meditree is also available in Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Japan, UAE and Russia, and Whole Foods Markets in Canada.

THOMAS SABO Presents The 2017 Spring/Summer Collection

THOMAS SABO is one of the globally-leading jewellery, watches and beauty companies, designing, selling and distributing lifestyle products for women and men. The company, established in 1984 by Thomas Sabo in Lauf an der Pegnitz, southern Germany. During my holidays travel to Central and Eastern Europe, I get to explore many places all around Germany and obviously knew much about TS from Germany too. 

The new THOMAS SABO Sterling Silver Collection makes a real impact with its distinctive attention to detail and expressive messages. Captured with a truly emotive campaign, each item of jewellery is a symbol of dreams lived, experiences made together and mutual respect.

Spring/Summer 2017 heralds the arrival of colours, patterns and shapes of Africa into the THOMAS SABO design language. The pendants, earrings, necklaces and rings from the Africa range have a strong graphic flair as a result of their innovative layering technique. 

The THOMAS SABO Power Bracelets with XXL Beads crafted from tiger’s eye, jasper, obsidian or lapis lazuli for men and women are the impressive energisers of the collection. They become veritable statements with their striking designs and the iconic highlights. Last minute that night, I get to slot in 2 hours to make it for Thomas Sabo's Spring Summer 2017 finally since I need to complete a few tasks at Pavilion that night. 

Good Karma! The Karma range is part of the Watches Collection now includes men's designs for the very first time. Vintage-look leather straps and guilloché dials place the round cases of the Rebel with Karma watches centre stage. For more information, you can check out www.thomassabo.com

Les Néréides Malaysia 2nd Grand Opening At Pavilion KL

The 2^nd outlet of Les Néréides in Malaysia has started to commence since 28^th March 2017 at Pavilion, KL. Pavilion outlet marks the successful expansion after the 1^st outlet opened at The Gardens Mall in 2015. The 3^rd outlet will be opening soon at Gurney Plaza, Penang. All the 3 are also my favourite shopping malls I usually go for shopping spree. Haha...'La Ye' for sure! 

The theme of the said event is Les Néréides signature collection, Pas De Deux which also known as Ballerina, this classic line is inspired by the femininity and grace of the ballet dancers of the opera de Paris. Reminded me of LeAnne my dear Charmer, who's also a Ballerina herself since she was 4 and she's still performing for charity events every now and then, we gave her the full support especially for charities. In fact, I made sure the charity events fulfilled their charity duties responsibly after we have attended for it.

I 1st discovered about Les Néréides brand since last 2016 during one of my many shopping spree at Gardens Mall and I told myself I'm gonna pampered myself soon with the Ballerina collection. Glad that I could attend their 2nd opening in Pavilion and got myself a sunflower bracelet as my 1st collection. More to come I'm sure, just stay patient about it as I'm a Jewellery Dragon Lady for years liao. So pretty and lovely this Green Ballerina Earrings, just couldn't resist it!

Les Néréides Founded in 1980 by Pascale and Enzo Amaddeo, Les Néréides offers a unique and whimsical take on the universe of costume jewelry. Inspired by nature and animals, each collection unfolds a most poetic story and conveys emotions, while deploying the same high-precision savoir-faire.

With its extreme attention to details and beautiful sense of refinement, Les Néréides is now a renowned international company presents all over the world. Every piece of jewelry is made and painted by hand in the workshops of Les Néréides. To me, I think it's quality and fine-crafted esp. I'm particularly fussy when it comes to jewellery collection for years since in my 20's, from Paris, France to Italy shopping spree.

This makes each piece is uniquely its own and each collection tells a story worth telling. In Greek mythology, the Néréides were the sea nymph daughters of Nereus, the Old Man of the Sea. I met a few fans of Les Nereides including myself on that day and get to exchange some ideas about our collection as well. For more infos, check out https://www.facebook.com/lesnereidesmalaysia/
