The new look of WATER360 by Watsons is helmed by its three sources of mineral water, six types of minerals and zero mineral oil to complete the upgraded range.

[REVIEW] Valentines dinner 2017 || Chez Leoniel

Our Valentine's Dinner at Chez Leoniel

So with valentines being a massive celebration to celebrate the season of love, I was thankful to have won myself and my partner a dinner date to dine at the one and only Chez Leoniel located at Francaise Alliance (If you're reading this Leoniel, thank you for picking me as your winner). And it's like a moment of realisation that this happens to be our first 'formal' date together cause we're usually so caught up with our own busy lives. So I shall take this moment to thank Leoniel for giving 'us' the chance to enjoy our time together on the 14th of February 2017.

Our menu for the night

Since we both got glammed up, I decided to share our dining experience by writing it in a blog post, cause really, why not? Teehee. Its located in a small corner in Jalan Gurney which took us a while to find, but thankfully the traffic wasn't as bad as we arrived at the cafè at about 8 pm from PJ. The promotion by the cafè was exclusive to celebrate valentines day, so I really hope this becomes an annual thing each year. As you can see in the image above, the dinner had a special menu for Valentine's day by Chez Leoniel. Excited to find out what we had? Well, scroll away! Now, some of you may be concern whether Chez Leoniel serves halal food. Since he was aware that we were concern about the alcohol content, he was glad enough to clarify to me that ingredients used are halal certified, just that because they use alcohol in some of their dishes which you can opt to have your dish without the alcohol. But I'm happy that he managed to customised our dishes for us to be Muslim-friendly for me and my date. hehe

Entreé

Potage Dubarry ou créme de chou-fleur (creamed cauliflower soup)

Petite Salad de Mon Jardin (Mixed Garden Salad) - Whoops, we finished it before we managed to take a photo of it. Hehe

Oeufs en cocotte aux tomates (Eggs en cocotte with tomatoes)

As appetisers or 'entres' in french, we had Creamed Cauliflower soup, Mixed Green Salad and Eggs en cocotte with tomatoes. The Creamed Cauliflower soup was definitely something that I never had before, and the taste was rather interesting (creamy but with texture). The Mixed Green Salad complimented the cream Cauliflower soup really well too as the veggies served were super fresh and if I'm not mistaken, it was sprinkled with balsamic vinegar. It was so fresh that we walloped everything and realised that we forgot to take a photo of our dish. LOL. And as for the Eggs en cocotte with tomatoes, I have to say that this really tasted french (not too sure how to explain). Teehee. I and my partner were actually fascinated by the combination of flavours we had as appetisers which made us look forward to getting our main course.

Main Course

Poulet ròti avec pois gourmands (Roasted Chicken with Snow Peas)

For the main course, guest of Chez Leoniel would have 4 options to choose from, but since Chez Leoniel knows that I and my partner aren't fans of alcohol, he suggested that we try the Roasted Chicken with Snowpeas. Despite the dish being roasted, I have to say that the chicken was juicy and filled with flavours. I could taste some black pepper and thyme in the dish, and it wasn't at all overcooked nor overseasoned. Great job Chez Leoniel! To some, you may think that it looks like a small portion, but don't judge too soon as I was already struggling to finish the last 1/4 of the dish as I was full.

Dessert

Poires a la beaujolaise (Pears in Beaujolais wine)

Chocolate Lava cake

Last but not least would be the best part of any meal, desserts! Unfortunately, the menu served pears in Beaujolais wine, but instead of serving us something with alcohol, Chez Leoniel spiced things up in the kitchen by preparing me and my date's dish that's off the menu. Thanks, Leoniel, it was absolutely sweet of you! When our dessert was served, we were told that the ingredients were entirely from France as if it's baked fresh from France. Hehe. So tadaa, we got ourselves chocolate lava cakes as desserts, and boy it was SO GOOD! Sometimes I wish I had more to eat. This calls for a re-visit? Hehe

Got me a rose *thankyou!

A little message to Chez Leoniel 

As an overall conclusion, I'd say that we really enjoyed ourselves dining at Chez Leoniel. It was an amazing experience to be served food that tasted fresh from France and not to forget the hospitality we got from the staffs. SUPERB! We were never really left unattended and since it was Valentine's day, the ladies got a rose to bring back as a souvenir. YAY! If you're looking for a cosy hideout that's not TOO formal, but a rather of a cosy environment, Chez Leoniel is the place for you to come and enjoy. Psst, you might get lucky by learning a few french words while you're there too *wink

So that's about it! Be sure to visit them by heading to 15, Lorong Gurney, 54100 Kuala Lumpur or alternatively waze yourself there by typing 'Francaise Alliance'.  I believe that if you're looking for affordable French dining, this is the secret hideout instead of paying hundreds for fine dining meals. Do keep yourself updated by checking out their FB page at Chez Léoniel.

Being an entrepreneur myself, it doesn't really matter how much money you have, cause at the end of the day, if you don't maximise what you have the right way, everything would go to waste. Thus its very important to have knowledge on facebook ads where you have to be very careful in taking a risk as time and duration may affect your objectives. Yikes! With the world moving at such a fast pace, every advertisement has to be a risk that creates an impact on the audience.

Watch the proclaimed 'Gay Scene' in Beauty And The Beast | Malaysia

With all the news of Malaysia 'banning' the Disney movie, The Beauty and The Beast, its no doubt that the statement has upset a lot of adults who were born in the 90's (which includes me). It seems to be a nightmare to find out that the movie is first banned, then postponed with a required cut scene, and now since Disney refuses to cut the scene, it's back to being banned again. I can't guarantee on how true the news is, but I do hope that somehow those who found so much negativity on the movie would maybe see the light and let it premiere in Malaysia.

According to the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia, they were not too happy with a scene from the Beauty and the Beast as it had characteristics of a gay character in the film. Despite receiving so many complaints by the people in Malaysia, the answer we received has been a huge disappointment. The movie was supposed to be premiered on the 16th of March in Malaysia, but I personally noticed that most of the cinemas have removed the posters from their wall. LET IT NOT BE TRUE! (Adds cry face here)

To my discovery, this 'gay' character that the film censorship Board of Malaysia claims is gay has nothing too obscene to be showed in cinemas (I was thinking if they had a naked scene or something, LOL). After watching a short clip on youtube of Disney's first exclusive gay scene, I think the character was rather confused, but at the end, he realised to to have some feelings towards Gaston. Below would be a video I found on youtube that was acted by Josh Gad as LeFou. Comments? I'll let you decide.

Technology is indeed amazing and now, with a few clicks of a button, you can get your parcel shipped to you as you sit back and relax while waiting for your parcel to arrive. To those who are fans modest clothing, im here to share with you an amazing app that can assist you in finding muslimah fashion pieces at really cheap prices. Have I gotten your attention yet? Scroll away!

Despite not wearing a hijab for myself, I admit that I do own a few 'Jubah's that I consider it as dresses that can surprisingly be very fashionable. Thus I am here to prove to you that modest fashion does go a long way when it comes to fashion, as long as you know how to bring your confidence together with your outfit, you'd be surprised with what muslimah fashion styles you can pull off in public. And although, I admit that I do have some difficulties buying Jubah's from stores as some would just end up judging me cause I'm 'free haired', but I am more than thankful that now Carousell exists as it acts as a platform that allows individuals to buy or sell their items conveniently. And thanks to this convenience, I can proudly say that this would be the cheapest platform to shop for affordable Jubah's in Malaysia.

There was this one occasion where I had to attend a nikah ceremony at a mosque, and I found it really hard to find a proper modest muslimah fashion pieces, as its either too expensive or usually not to my liking. When I browsed through the Carousell app, I found a wide range of different types of Jubah Abaya that are available at really cheap prices. Jubah Abaya's are usually over RM200 but at carousell, the price can go as low as RM58 per piece! *jaws dropped* How crazy can that be? If you' re lucky, you might find some exclusive pre-loved pieces that can be 90% off the market price. So, I usually make it a point to have at least a day within a week to scroll through Carousell. *wink

Above would be some of the pieces that I'm actually eyeing right now, and I'll be checking these pieces out to attend yet another friend's wedding without the need to worry about overspending. Not to also forget that it saves me tons of time rather than going out to shop, the need to pay parking, and the time spent to find the right piece. Fuss free for busy people like me! For your convenience, you can check out the muslimah fashion section on the website to find new Jubah pieces for your closet.
