Hammam @ Bangsar Village 2

$

0
In this post i wanna talk about the amazing spa experience a friend of mine recommended. 
(yes pregnant mummies, you didn't hear me wrong. it is a place we can enjoy relaxing massage and spa treatment too!)
It is located at the top floor of Bangsar Village 2 called the Hammam.
What is Hammam? Hammam is the first traditional Moroccan version of the Turkish Bath in Asia.


 & the best part is, pregnant lady like me can go for it too! 


The very middle eastern front entrance.


"The Hammam, means “spreader of warmth” in Arabic and has its roots in Ancient Greek Roman bathhouse culture. It’s a practise which has charmed thousands from different cultures throughout history. It has always been about beauty and well being, purifying the body and spirit, nourishing the precious relationship between people and water, and our instinctual need to connect with others."


The moment we stepped inside we totally forgot that we were in KL &
as if we were magically transported to a beautiful Middle Eastern setting spa retreat house.


Dragged my sister along as well. She did not want to come at first but i managed to convinced her in the end.
(trust me! she was super satisfied with the spa and said she would regret if she hadn't join us)


Absolutely loving the setting. 


Hammam offers a whole range of Spa traeatments and packages, ranging from Hammam & Gommage, to Aromatic Massage to Facials. Naturally their Hammam & Gommage is their signature treatment which differentiates them from other spas. 


We picked the package from Harem Treats called "My Favorite Concubine Hammam" the spa manager recommended us and said that it is most customer's favorite.

It is included with a :
Hammam & Gommage (turkish bath) 
Moorish Body Polish (remove all the dead skin from head to toe) 
& last but not least a 45mins Aromatic Massage.

This package cost RM315 per session. 
But if you go in 6 person, you can get the promotion price at only RM250 for each. (save up to RM65!)
If you can't get 6 person, you can always get it first and go for it next time. That's what we did since we only have 5 of us.


We were first led to our locker room to get keep our belongings and changed into disposable bras and undies provided by them.


Also a bathrobe.


The very middle eastern turkish-ish waiting lounge.




Pretty tiny fountain made of tiles.


All of us in our bathrobes waiting to be treated like a Morracan princess.


We were then led by our Morrocan therapist to the hararet which is a sauna room made completely of heated marble.

It is set with a certain level of humidity and has a gentle warm temperature. The therapists first start drenching us with the warm water follow by the Deldi black soap (mixed with Henna) all over our bodies to help open up the pores. We were then brought to another room and lay on the marble tiles for a good 10 minutes. It was quite difficult to lay on marble tiles for a 8.5 months pregnant lady like me. But it really relax my whole body.

After that, we continued with our Gommage which is a scrub-down to remove all the dead skin from our body using viscose and a special exfoliating glove. It was rather painful cause the therapist need to scrub really hard in order to really remove all the dead skin, but surprisingly we were kind of enjoying the "pain". It was one of the best part of the whole massage. After the scrubbing, you will see all your dead skin all over the marble tiled slab and also 30 grams lighter!

Lastly we were then brought back into the main area for the Moorish Body Polish. Using powder made out of volcanic clay and a range of plants, the treatment caused our skin to soften and relax. After lying on the marble slabs for another 6 minutes or so, the therapists then rinsed off the clay and washed our hair and body with soothing shower gel (minty feeling).


This is how @bellakuan& @cristinecheng look after their treatment! ROFL! 
They got their hair washed too! With some kind a self-mixed shampoo Hammam provided and heard it was super relaxing as if they were in the salon or something (sobs, me and my sis didn't get to try it cause we thought they were just gonna rinse through) MUST TRY NEXT TIME!


After the treatment, we went back out the lounge to relax for a bit before the last session. While waiting for the masseuse to get ready, we were served with some Middle Eastern delicacies and mint tea.


This is how our massage room looks like,


super pretty can! 

We were brought into this couple room with the 2 beds. The room setting and decorations make you super comfortable and the dimmed flowery light make you wanna sleep in there forever and never get up while the local masseuse massage you with special oil.


at the other end is a bath tub where two can share a romantic bath/spa together.

The masseuse did a really great job! I really enjoyed the whole hammam and 45mins massage session. All pregnant lady need to pampers themselves and feel relaxed once in while right? After all the baby weight we're carrying. I highly recommend this place for pregnant ladies and also girlies that wanna just pamper yourself with a unique spa experience! A pleasant place to relax indeed.


All of us left with satisfactory and definitely coming back for a next round!

It's always nice to do fine dine once in awhile 
This time around we picked a roof-top restaurant - Cedar On 15 @ Impiana KLCC Hotel
It's located at the roof-top 15th level of Impiana Hotel.



It is famous for the amazing view of the city's night skyline 


It was rather empty that night,



OKAY it was entirely empty and we were the only table!
Reason is because it was the night before the election #ge13. Guess people were too scared to come out town or something idk.

Meaning, we have the whole place to ourselves! 



fine dine partners of the night 



Francessca me lovah / big sistah! 

She was back in town for a few days just to vote! What a dedicated Malaysian!
Speaking of voting, kind of regretted that I didn't take part. But what if i did? Will it make a difference? BN will still use their dirty tricks to win this election. Yes, I know what you feel like shouting to me now "BUT HEY AT LEAST YOU MAKE AN EFFORT!"okok, well my next chance will be in the next 5 years time!

(If you've read this before, scroll down for the UPDATED pictures on new discovered burgers) 

okay im going to blame this on the whole pregnant thing again.
here goes, ever since i became a preggo, i started to crave for a lot of food. Not just any normal food, but real fattening and non-healthy food which is not so good for a pregnant woman but i just really can't help it.
One of them is burger! Recently i've just discovered this amazing burger shop called the "My Burger Lab".
& the best worst part is, it's only 5 minutes away from my house!


I had to admit, IT WAS ZE MOST AMAZING BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!!!


And without further ado, I would like to introduce you to the amazing MyBurgerLab!!

Operating hours.

here are the awesome variety of burgers that you can choose from.


Add ons maybe?


What i really like about them is, they have super friendly and patient staffs working there.
It is really important to have patient & friendly staffs if you're operating a restaurant. Nobody wants to go back to bad service restaurant no matter how good your food is. 
I have to say, they have a good team over there :)


peek at the open kitchen.


look at those stack of cheeeeeeeeeeeseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (my favvvvv omg!) 
cheesegasm!


after placing our order, we still need to wait for our burger to be made. There wasn't any empty table yet so we had to wait outside the shop. I know, poor us :(


After waiting for bout another 10 minutes, we've finally got a spot & collected our burgers.





my order - SAY CHEESE

Chinese confinement in Malaysia

$

In this post, i'm going to talk all about confinement.
but before i start, let me show you me and my husband's beautiful creation 



This picture was taken 10 minutes after he was born, on the 28th of May. 



Henry Fong Jo Nam " 房祖霖 " 

and this picture was taken few days ago. How did he grew up so fast?





okay, let's get back to confinement.

1. What is confinement like ?

Confinement practices are postnatal practices aimed at helping a new mum recover from the rigours of pregnancy, labour and birth. Mum and baby are said to be in confinement because they are effectively "quarantined" at home. Traditionally, they do not receive visitors apart from close family members until the confinement period is over. In Malaysia, our ethnic Chinese, Malay and Indian communities all have their respective confinement practices. The common thread amongst the practices of the different communities is to support the new mum and help her recover from childbirth as well as regain her physical and emotional strength.


It is really important to have a good confinement. Mine didn't go so well for the first 2 weeks because the confinement lady/nanny we hired was so unprofessional. Speaking of confinement nannies, also as known as " 做月婆 " in chinese. Remember to all soon-to-be mummies, pick your confinement lady/nanny wisely as it might ruin your whole confinement! If you don't like your nanny, change it! Mine was so horrible that we couldn't take anymore and changed it at the 3rd week (a little too late). Because the first two weeks are very important for your body to heal (internal and external). And your nanny are supposed to tell you what to do and what not to docook special confinement dishes for you; bathe your baby; and do your baby's laundry; take care of the baby 24/7 etc, basically she needs to do everything just for you and your new born. You just need to hire a professional one. We changed mine and now the nanny i'm having is very professional and I'm having good confinement food everyday! So i'll say they come in pretty handy.

2. How long does a confinement last?

For the Chinese, the confinement period lasts for a whole month, starting from the day of your baby's birth. It usually ends with the celebration of your baby's first month. For the Malays, this period lasts 44 days. The confinement period is a time for you to rest and avoid any physical work. During this time, sex after childbirth is not allowed as you are not considered fully healed. Bear in mind that you are expected to stay indoors during the entire confinement period. If you don't intend to follow these rules, do expect to experience a degree of cabin fever, back aches etc.

3. What are the restrictions during the confinement?

You will be asked to follow many rules, some even religiously! 
A number of these practices can be rather restrictive, especially for a modern mum.

Chinese confinement restrictions include:

  • Strictly no washing of hair for the entire confinement period. Some mothers get around this rule by using dry shampoo during this time.
  • Avoiding exposure to cold elements such as cold water. Air-conditioning set at low temperatures or fans whirling away at high speeds must be avoided too. 
  • Bathing only with specially prepared warm water that is infused with herbs. 
These prohibitions help to ensure that your body is not made any 'cooler' and that you retain as much heat as possible. It is believed this will help you to avoid health problems such as rheumatism, arthritis, headaches and body pains later in life.


4. Are there any special confinement meals or dishes?

You will be put on a special diet during the confinement period. The aim of the diet is to boost your immunity and strength so that you will be able to care for your newborn. Interestingly, all races believe in the theory of the 'warming' versus 'cooling' food groups, although each race may have slight variations as to what is tolerated. 

Chinese diet - You will be required to eat a variety of meals that will 'warm' the body up. These include ginger and a traditional tonic brewed with herbs. According to the Chinese confinement diet, meals prepared with such ingredients are believed to promote better blood circulation and strengthening of the joints. The Chinese also believe that fish and papaya soups can help boost low milk supply. 

Chinese confinement also bars 'cooling' foods such as cold drinks, cucumber, cabbage and pineapple should be avoided. Also, 'windy' foods such as onions and jackfruit are off limits as they are believed to cause colic in your baby. Read about what types of food will affect your breastmilk if you're concerned about confinement foods.





Aside from all the confinement meals and dishes, I'm also taking Moon's Rejuvena 30 as my daily intake from Moon's Postnatal Rejuvenation programme and Daveleen company 

Moon's - Postnatal Rejuvenation essentials for modern moms.
 A brand that you can depend and trust for more hygiene, nutritious and safer to consume.



It is a 4-Stage postnatal Herbal Rejuvenation 



The complete 30 day essential postnatal pack that provides all the nutrients that you need for a faster healing and recovery process during your confinement. Made from a balance selection of premium herbs for a complete 4-stage program (Rejuvena 30) plus (Harmony 30) a combination of herbs to promote the 5 elements for the balancing of your 'yin' and 'yang'. 



Assists in inner-cleaning, reconditioning of the body, enhancement of energy, strengthening of the spine and firming the womb



I'm on the 3rd Stage now which is the Enhancement of energy, and i feel more energetic than ever!


Another supplement for all pregnant mummies - Red Date Tea Extract



I drink it everyday one month before delivery. It is a beverage tea-like supplement that warms the stomach, promotes blood circulation and improves energy level. It also acts as a detoxification agent for anesthetics used during cesarean delivery. Also helps speeding up the healing process of wounds.



Consume for 30 days before delivery. It expedites the healing process of the wound, prevents hair loss & promotes better, healthier & more radiant complexion for the baby. It also helps to prevent jaundice for the baby.



To purchase, visit their website - www.moms2b.com / www.facebook.com/daveleen 


and that's pretty much it about confinement for chinese in Malaysia.
will be talking about Daveleen & their confinement center on my next post! a must-read! for all soon to be mummies 


stay tune

Yeast Boulangerie • Bistro • Baravin

I love trying out new places for a hearty breakfast to start off the day! 
Baby sister and her boyfriend recommended this french bistro-style for a good breakfast/brunch.
They keep going: "It's so good, so so good! You must try!".
Okay so here I am,



Wearing shades cause i dont know why i have puffy eyes that day.

Yeast Bistronomy 


It is located at Bangsar, Telawi 2 (few shops away from Antipodean) but unlike Antipodean, it's pork-free 

Yeast is a bakery concept restaurant own by a Frenchman Christophe Chatron-Michaud and his Malaysian wife.


Their lunch menu are more bread-centered, hence the shop name.
Yeast is famous for their traditional artisan french bread.



French furnished restaurant, here's a signboard showing what they served 



My lunch date, Josh & Krystal the love burungs 

They serve breakfast to lunch, afternoon tea with pastries and bread throughout the day.



They specialize in traditional Artisan French bread which are made using home-grown, natural yeast which gives the bread a better texture, perfect crust and flavor 

My pick for brunch :


Viennois au Saumon Fumé, Câpres, Oignons, Crème de Fromage Blanc (RM23++)
(Smoked Salmon on Viennois Bread, Capers, Onions, Cucumber and Cream served with French Fries & Green Salad) 



AHHHH, it's sooooooooooogoooooooooooood!
The salmon, the cream and cumcumbers, everything combined together, IT'S PERFECTO! 


My all time favourite - CAMOMILLE TEA 


some artsy shot of my Cammomile 

Joshie's pick :



Oeufs Pochés Benedictine (RM18++)
(2 Soft Pouched Eggs on Brioche Toast with Smoked Salmon or Smoked Turkey, Béarnaise Sauce and Greens) 



I love salmon and i super love eggs benedicts with salmon and they just made me love them more! 

You know how like at some other restaurants where they serve eggs benedicts as well, not all the time they can make the yolk watery. Sometimes they cooked it too long, it's boiled! Which made me super disappointed. But here, the eggs are always smooth, unbroken yolk and surrounded by a shiny opaque oval of egg white that sits evenly around the egg and the moment you cut it, the watery yolk runs all over your salmon and bread. IT'S PERFECT! 

Krystal's diet pick :



Ceaser Salad 


Cheesy Croissant 






Cuppa Mocha 



Pumpkin Soup 






Krystal enjoying her Pumpkin Soup! 






For their dinner time, it's a totally different scene.

They serve fine dine with their best chef from French 









interesting way of presenting their menu 



Complimentary Bread 



Tagliatelles à la Crème de Champignons Sauvage, Essence de Truffles (RM38++)
(Tagliatelles pasta with a Wild Mushrooms Cream Sauce, Truffle Essence)



The taste was not bad but the truffle taste were too strong and i'm not a fan of truffle.

Overall, I loved it here and will definitely be having my brunch here very often.
Y'all shall give it a try if you fancy french

It is located at Telawi 2, right above Devi's corner, next to Milk & Butter.


It's quite a small shop. 

Pretty stuffy inside too, so better sit outside.


Order at the counter, once food is ready they will serve it to your table.


I don't really like the workers there, they look so moody and blur when i ask what is their best burger etc.
Unlike myburgerlab, happy staffs everywhere!

Anyway, I'm here for the burgers not the staffs so let's order!


Here's the menu and the varieties of burgers you can order.
(not much different from myburgerlab)

IT'S A MUST TRY!!!! SO GOOD!!


Bash (RM18.90)
(Grilled Grassfed Beef, Beef Bacon Relish, Provolone Cheese, Caramelized Onions, Maple Baked Cornflakes)

This is the the must order burger, 


I really love how they fried their bun! Think it was dipped with egg and then fried it again. Loving the maple cornflakes too. I've never tried eating burgers with cornflakes before. It's not that bad! In fact, Im lovin' it!  Something new i guess :)


Tornado Beef (RM15.90)
(Grilled Grassfed Beef, Onions Rings, Sunny Side Egg, Buffalo Hotsauce Aoili)

So sorry for the late birthday post! I know i need to blog more, if only one day has 32 hours that would be perfect! ❤ 
So it's the time of the year to remind myself that I'm getting older again. Sad but true *frown*
What have i achieved in life for the past 22 years?

  • At the age from7 - 9I was really hardworking. I mean I really worked my ass of on studies and make sure to be at the top. 
  • Starting from age 10 - 13,I was still pretty hardworking, but not as much.
  • From 12 - 17, I'm all about ice-hockey. I was so lucky to be chosen as one of the athlete representing Malaysia to Korea for a special Dream program. Tournament at Hong Kong Singapore etc. Made friends from around the world, It was the happiest time of my life then.  
  • 18 was the year i have no direction in life, partying was pretty much my life
  • Met the love of my life when i was19
  • 20 - 21, started my online business Glam Cases

But this year is different, so many wonderful occasion  

The main one is definitely the birth of my baby boy Henry Fong. He is such an angel and both me and husband are so blessed to have him in our life. It is definitely a huge milestone for me being a mother at such a young age. But I'm all ready to partake in this adventure. Definitely want to make it a significant one.

Another achievement of the year is my business for phone casings at Glam Cases and other blogshop like TangleTeezer / Glam Mall. I'm very happy with the results these past few months and would never thought it would go international. I wanna thank all my agents and customers from around the world though I know y'all probably won't see this but yeah, thankyou for the support all this while

Love Bonito

Currently my new favorite online shop! 

"Love, Bonito is one of Singapore's biggest online fashion success stories. It was started by three young ladies that turned a humble blogshop into one of the largest online fashion retailers. They strive to attain market leadership through unmatched quality and a diverse product range that are trendy and pocket friendly."



Let's have a peek at Love, Bonito's collections:



Above all these pretty super gorgeous bridesmaids dress price range from $32 - $36 (RM80 - RM90) 

They handpicked all their pretty models and did professionals photo shoots for each and every pieces of their clothing so I will know what I am buying and there is selection of sizes too! Unlike those "typical online blogshop" when they grab pictures from some china website, claimed as theirs and sell it to customers. And when goods arrived, it may not be the same as you saw them when you have been bought them.

Love bonito update their collection every week so we can come back every week for gorgeous chic affordable pretty clothes 




There are so many different types of clothing to choose from Love Bonito.
From Tops to Dresses, Shoes & even accessories! 

Once you've select the category you wanna view, it will bring you to another page with all their collections.
Their clothes gave me the Zara, Topshop kind of feel except at a much cheaper price!



What I'm super excited about is that they have sizes and colors for you to pick from & also very detailed descriptions of the material and measurements! In that case we don't have to worry whether it'll be too big or to small when the goods arrive 

If you are still not sure or clear about the sizes. Fret not, they have an Apparel Size Guide for you!








Here's one of my favorite piece i got from Love Bonito,






@bellakuan & me in our #lovebonito dresses 



Love, Bonito BASICS Karlie Midi Dress, It's cool, it's classic and it's comfortable. What's not to love?! This simple black dress is flattering, timeless and chic. What more could you ask for?!



Love how classy my shirt from #lovebonito looks and it’s stretchable too (covers the post-pregnancy tummy)! Nothing says relaxed cool better than a slouchy yet modern chic silhouette.


Nothing screams summer better than a printed maxi dress. Get into the new season spirit and wear this blue and white Mackville Maxi style.



Tap into spring/summer's pastel colour trend with this melon pink lace dress 



details of the lace 


If you're a fan of vintage fashion, then you're gonna love this,



This vintage-inspired Tropical print dress exudes tropical paradise style and would work wonders at more relaxed summer soirees over the coming months.



Loving the prints 

Love Bonito is having free delivery service from Singapore to Malaysia now!


when you're ready to make payment, go to Love Bonito and key in "FREESHIPMSIA" and voola! you are entitle to free delivery service from Singapore to Malaysia. Save up to RM50!

Celebrated Dolly Molly's birthday last week at Black Market, Kampung Pandan. One of my favorite restaurant in KL recently 



Ladies that attended Doll's birthday dinner 


It was my third visit here and I'm still lovin' it! 
It might be a little tricky to find this place because it shares the same land as the famous Chinese Restaurant Caffeinees. And i heard it is run by the same owner! Smart way to utilize the land.

Black Market is a chic and sophisticated restaurant for discerning diners, the stylish venue is renowned for its exquisite cuisine and an impressive selection of New and Old World wines which is the perfect venue for after-work drinks and casual dining with friends, clients or business associates.


Absolutely lovin' the ambiance 
Right out the large windows it is the Royal Selangor golf course and in distance you can spot the sparkling twin tower.


Chic black deco really brings up the modern feel.


Semi open air kitchen 


The restaurant has a low lightning that creates a calm and peaceful environment 


And guess what? I got Doll her dream pet, A UNICORN! 


Some wine to start off the night

Alright let's begin with the food! Black Market is pretty famous with their tapas selection.

#1 For starter we have the Sausage Platter 
(Grilled giant pork sausage, breakfast sausage and "pigs in blanket".)



#2 Jamón Platter 
(Premium Spanish iberico ham slices, served with toasts.)



#3 Giant Scallop Soup 
(Hokkaido style leek soup with premium "XXL" scallop.)


No joke, the scallop is as big as my palm!


#4 Black Market Big 'S' Pork Ribs 
(Over baked pork ribs coated with Black Market's specialty "black sauce".) 



*highly recommend!* 
Tender, falling off the bone, and so flavorful, paired with their house specialty sauce. I guarantee you'll love its delicious tenderness. Dayumm! Serving was so big 'S' that 2 person can share a plate of this. Same goes to the next dish!


#5 Wild Ginger Bud Crispy Pork Ribs 
(Deep fried pork ribs with minced ginger bud and mint sauce deep)




#6 Bordeaux's Tenderloin 
(Grilled pork shoulder topped with jamón ham in red wine sauce and poached zucchini, etc.)



#7 Wagyu Burger 
(Burger with wagyu beef patty grilled to medium, served with nachos and guacamole "avocado" dip)



Apparently Wagyu burger, the tastiest burger it is counted among the most healthy by many.


#8 Seafood Petai Sambal with Rice 
(Petai, prawns, mussels and octopus in spicy sambal gravy; served with rice.)


It looks way more tastier in real life, i swear.


#9 Giant Scallop with Prawn 
(Baked premium 'XXL' SCallop and grilled prawn in home-made garlic sauce, served with poached zucchini, etc.)


#10 Black Truffle Cod 
(Black truffle pâté baked cod fillet (200g) garnished with pine nuts.)



The meal was very satisfying and I'll definitely be back to try out more new dishes on the menu!

在这个社会上,每一个人都是见钱开眼的。
不要说你不是,因为每一个人都是。
不要说那个女的是为了那个男的钱才和他在一起,
是因为那男有本事,那女的有魅力。
没有钱就趁年轻时去奋斗,不要没钱学人追女子。
世界上最有钱的人往往都白手起家。
有钱了,不要说你可以追你喜欢的女子,
世界第一名模都会毫不犹豫的投入你的怀抱。
老土的说一句,‘ 钱不是万能,但是没有钱就万万不能 ’。
女的不要说这个整过容,那个割过双眼皮,打过鼻子,钱是她们的。
这些是叫要进步。没钱想整都没的整。
你可能会在想,这是是麽歪理?
我可以告诉你,这个不是歪理,这个就是现实。
