10 Binjai Restaurant 2019/2020 Menu | PNB Perdana Hotel


Reviewing 10 Binjai Restaurant
10 Binjai Restaurant has always been a place I wanted to visit and guess what, I finally made it there to try out their new ala-carte menus which compromise elements of Malay local cuisines and International dishes at an affordable price. With a decent spread showcasing over 10 new refreshing menus, 10 Binjai Restaurant promises to feature the freshest and the best ingredients to be offered when youre within the heart of Kuala Lumpur.

Dishes here are prepared by Chef Amran, Executive Chef

Prawn Salad with mixed Fruit, RM18
Caesar Salad, RM20
Was also lucky enough to catch the Executive Chef of 10 Binjai Restaurant, Chef Amran and believe it or not, he has over 26 years of experience within the culinary industry. Every dish that is specially curated for 10 Binjai Restaurant offers customers a unique dining experience offering a gastronomy experience of taste, presentation, and flavours. To start of your dining experience, the new menu offers Prawn Salad and Ceasar Salad which I must say is one of my favorite dishes that is served on the menu. The Prawn Salad with mixed fruits (RM18) was served cold with shrimp and in terms of presentation and taste, I really wouldn't mind another plate of it! The Ceasar Salad (RM20) on the other hand came with chicken slices and it came in a huge portion too, enough for those who want to share as well.

Seafood Tom Yam, RM18

Grilled Chicken Oblong, RM25
Nasi Lemak Special by Chef Amran, RM28
Daging Salai served with Rice
Moving on to the main dishes, the menu offers Seafood Tom Yam Soup, Chicken Oblong, and even Nasi Lemak! Being a fan of Tom Yam, I must say that they are very generous with the portion for this. The broth of the Seafood Tom Yam Soup (RM18) was rich in flavor and had a tinge of spicy and sour taste which presented the local Tom Yam flavor really well. The Grilled Chicken Oblong (RM25) despite being a popular local street food, Chef Amran did a pretty good job making it look good enough to be served in a restaurant. It's big and well cooked for those who just want to enjoy the local delicacies of a hot dog in Malaysia. And as for the local highlight dish, there's Nasi Lemak (RM28) specially created by Chef Amran's secret recipe. It's accompanied by sambal and fried chicken, and I must say that the fried chicken was a show stopper! You got to try this for yourself to really understand what I mean.

Pepperoni Pizza, RM35
Sizzling Chicken Chop, RM28

Lamb Chop, RM40                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
For those craving for some western flavors, there's Pepperoni Pizza, Lamb Chop, and Sizzling Chicken Chop to indulge into. If you're looking for a dish to share, the Peperoni Pizza (RM35) is a good choice to consider. Its freshly made, and taste just the way the Italians would enjoy it. But if you're a meat lover, there's no doubt but to order either the Lamb Chop (RM40) or the Sizzling Chicken Chop (RM28) as both are really good too! I'm a fan of chicken, so the sizzling chicken would be my repeat the next time I visit. Hehe. Flavors are very well balanced, and I loved the idea that these dishes are served hot with really nice presentation.

Naruto Nuggets, RM18
Spongebob Fingers, RM18
Not to forget the kids, the menu offers Spongebob Fingers (RM18) and Naruto Nuggets (RM18). Spongebob Fingers are actually fish fingers served with a side of fries, with just enough portion to fuel up the little ones. And as for the Naturo Nuggets, they are actually chicken nuggets served with fries on the sides as well. But if im feeling a little kiddy, my personal favorite that I would order for myself would be the Spongebob Fingers cause who doesn't enjoy having fish in forms of fried fimgers right? Great for light eaters too!

Banana Boat, RM12
Sago Melaka, RM10
To top it all off, what's a meal without desserts. right? Well, as for desserts, 10 Binjai Restaurant offers Sago Melaka and Banana Boat in the menu. If youre looking for local desserts, well the sago Melaka is actually really good! The presentation may be a little high end, but the taste still taste like the Sago Melaka (RM10) that Malaysians love. But of course, it doesn't limit you to ordering the Banana Boat (RM12) which is a classic dessert best enjoyed alone or for sharing too! Nothing beats ending a meal with something sweet to cleanse the flavours off, am I right?

A variety of Hot Drinks are available too
Be sure to also try their fruit juices while youre there too!
So just some fun facts before I end my post, did you know that 10 Binjai Restaurant has a pattern of changing the menu yearly to offer customers different menu's to try in different years? Being located really near to the Petronas Twin Towers, this makes PNB Perdana Hotel & Suites On The Park and accessible location! If you're traveling by lrt, you can always make a stop at Ampang Park station and its just 5 minutes walking distance from the station. Be sure to catch and get a taste of these exciting new menu before it changes again within a year. There is nothing above RM40 on the menu and I would say that the average price for each dish would be around RM25 which i think its really affordable when the portions are generous. Hope you found this post usefull and I'll catch you again in my next post.

Shokubutsu Mochi Face & Body Range | 2 in 1 Face and Body Wash


OH hey! Shokubutsu presents Face & Body wash for quick showers
Being a loyal fan to Shokubutsu, im happy to announce that they have launched the Shokubutsu Mochi Face & Body range here in Malaysia! Yay! If youre wondering why i love Shokubutsu products, its genuinely because it carries values derived from Japanese inspired philopsophy and now to take it up a notch, Shokubutsu presents the new revolutionary Shokubutsu Mochi Hada Face & Body Shower series which allows you to cleanse and moisturise both your face and body at the same time as you shower. Talk about saving time when youre showering right? Hehe

Because this variant was the apple of my eye, its like gold! hehe
Present during the launch was none other that Natalie Tong as the official brand ambassador
To celebrate the exciting launch, i was one of the lucky few to witness their official brand ambassador, Hong Kong actress, Natalie Tong making her apperance at Sunway Pyramid over the weekend. Thank god for translators, she shared that she loves the new range as it complimented her busy lifestyle while keeping her face and skin moisturised despite always being on-the-go with her career. I had a huge eye-opener while i was there as i realized that we always care a lot for our face when it comes to moisturizing, but the mistakes that we should realize by now would be that the skin needs equivalent attention too, to match the facial skin dont think you think so?

Having three is always better than 2 right? 
The Face and Body Shower Lotion series | Glow Radiance & Ultra Moisture
Has a creamy texture for those who like it creamy
With that in mind, the all new Shokubutsu Mochi Hada Face & Body Shower Serier makes it easier than ever before to effectively cleanse and moisturise the skin on both our face and body in one simple step while youre showering. With this new innovation, i realize that i need to love my skin more to also gain mochi soft skin all over after every shower from today onwards. I mean for reals, who wouldnt want their body to look as young as their face? Right? Right!

Unboxing my haul from the launch, couldnt resist but to get all three!
Being currently 8 months pregnant now, (I KNOW, TIMES FLIES!), im in love with Shokubutsu because they use safe and natural ingredients in their products and to make this new product more exciting, the secret to the Shokubutsu Mochi Hada's efficacy lies in the benefits of Tsubaki oil, an essential Japanese beauty ritual of ancient Geisha that contains Rice Bran oil and Rice Ferment Extract that helps to maintain the skins hydration, texture, resilience and overall supple healthy appearance. Currently there are 3 types of wash within the range, namely Shower Oil Nourishing & Softening, Shower Lotion Glow Radiance, and Shower Lotion Ultra Moisture.

Shokubutsu Mochi Hada Face & Body Shower Oil
Transparent in colour, but foams up pretty well when in contact with water
Another plus point on Shokubutsu Mochi Hada would be that the series has also been dermatologically tested and its found to be non-comedogenic, which also means it does not cause any irritation to the skin and its safe to use on your face as it would not clog pores or blocked pores on the skin. I've tried and tested the product and im happy to say that after about a week of showering with it, my skin feels so much smoother and softer. I feel like a mochi because my skin feels amazing! If you see me around, feel free to touch my mochi soft skin and you'd be surprised too! Hehe.

#LoveYourFaceLoveYourBody Campaign

If think you you're always lucky, well, good news! To celebrate this exciting launch,  Shokubutsu Mochi Hada has launched a #LoveYourFaceLoveYourBody campaign where you are invited to share a creative emochi picture of a smiley face using different parts of your body on social media using the hashtag #LoveYourFaceLoveYourBody during August and September where you'll stand a chance to win a Shokubutsu Mochi Hada Shower Kit offered every Tuesday! Its also a great way to spread the awareness that all of us should love our body more.

Lathers pretty well with water despite it being oil based
Currently my fav Shokubutsu Mochi Hada Face & Body variant. (Smells refreshing too!)
The price for each bottle starts from RM19.00, and all three variants of the Shokubutsu Mochi Hada Face & Body Shower Serier is available exclusively at Watsons Stores and Online Stores. They can also be found in other major retail supermarkets and e-commerce stores as well. Currently using the Shower Oil variant and i am loving it! I didnt think i would enjoy the shower oil, but let me clear your concerns by saying that its not at all greasy nor oily, and among the three variants, i find this variant carrying the best fragrance. Hehe. Well, thats all for now. Till my next post peeps!

[REVIEW] Byme Skincare | Plant based sources skincare (Suitable for All skin types including Sensitive skin)

An honest review of Byme Skincare
Recently explored a new skincare brand and I kinda think that the name of the brand is super cute, namely 'Byme' Skincare with a tagline of 'By me for you'. Hehe. Before I get into details on the products, let me share with you what makes Byme a convincing brand to me. The concept behind Byme skincare products is actually that they use naturally derived ingredients that would give a result of effortless beauty. And yes, this would also mean that their ingredients are plant-based sources which gives me a sense of relief when using it (especially when im currently 7 months pregnant!).

The current 5 products that are available by Byme Skincare
Founded by Bonnie Low, she had skin issues herself when she was younger which prevented her from using conventional skincare products. Because she has sensitive skin, she had very limited options and had to go for medicinal skin care products which she's prescribed to. With that in mind, she decided to come up with Byme Skincare with a mission to bright out the best in you by formulating skincare that provides you with beautifully hydrated skin. Now, let's get into details on the products that 'Byme' has to offer. 

Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing Water
RM65.00

Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing Water
Comes in a plastic bottle
The Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing water is more of a makeup remover that would gently cleanse your skin after a long day. After about a week of owning this gentle cleansing water, I personally use it as a makeup remover, or simply when I need an extra cleanse when my skin feels like it's covered with pollutants. It has this similar feel to a micellar water makeup remover, but I like it a lot more because it's more gentle and it leaves the skin feeling soft and supple after using it. It contains a variant of vitamin B5 infusion that would naturally skin well hydrated. 

Apply it on a cotton pad
Results after one swipe to remove makeup
I'd say it does a pretty good job in removing makeup
It comes in a plastic bottle with a black cap that contains 120ml of cleansing water. Usually, I would use a cotton pad and dap an adequate amount of cleansing water and wipe off my make up by gently by wiping the cotton pad on my face. I was pretty impressed that despite putting very light pressure as I was removing my makeup, this did a pretty good job without really making my skin feel likes it's being harshly exfoliated. It's not oily, and it really leaves a clean finish. I approve!

Radiant Glow Cleansing Mousse
RM99.00
Radiant Glow Cleansing Mousse
After removing makeup, the next step is to use the Radiant Glow Cleansing Mousse. From the name itself, you would have guessed that it's a foam cleanser which is one of my favorite type of cleansers! It comes out in rich lather and the best part is, its a soap-free cleansing mousse! Being soap-free, it would unlikely cause any irritation to the skin, and how it gently removes impurities is through their active ingredients which would be the German Chamomile extract. It comes in a plastic pump bottle and contains about 150ml of product. 

Comes in a foam texture
Pump 2 times on palm and apply to face
Cleanse in a circular motion then rinse
The benefit behind a cleansing mousse would be that it's naturally derived from coconuts, this ingredient is toxin-free, easily-rinsed off, and leaves no residue and irritation. It has also been clinically proven to improve skins pH balance while providing comfort when cleansing. I personally would pump 2 times onto my palms and lather onto the face while gently massaging face in a circular motion. Once cleansed, gently rinse off with water. I actually love the refreshing feel of my skin after cleansing as there's no tight drying feeling on the skin, and just as it claims, it leaves the skin feeling supple and cleansed

Radiant Glow Skin Essence
RM90.00

Radiant Glow Skin Essence
Comes in a 120ml plastic bottle
Once youre done cleansing, next would be to apply the Radiant Glow Skin Essence. This is apparently a two in one toner and serum that hydrates the skin effectively with its active ingredients to improve on hydration and cell structure. If youre looking to make your skin glow within this range, this would be the secret to it! It comes in a 120ml plastic bottle with a white cap which I appreciate since the size of the bottle is almost similar to the Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing Water. Very thoughtful of them to think this through by differentiating the product by color coding the caps. 

The texture is like a slightly thick liquid
Very concentrated essence that works as a toner and serum
The essence is formulated to reduce inflammation and has been clinically tested to improve the skin's barrier and prevents rashes and breakouts. The ingredients are also naturally derived from reed flowers and fuling china root. Its toxin-free and cruelty-free making it suitable for all skin types while providing sufficient protection and nourishment for the skin. For this, I would usually dab a sufficient amount onto the palms of my hands and gently tap my face until the essence is fully absorbed. The texture is slightly on the sticky side if you ask me, but after a few minutes, till the essence is fully absorbed, you'd hardly notice the sticky feeling on the skin. I guess it takes a while for the skin to absorb the essence. 

Radiant Glow Complexion Cream
RM99.00
Radiant Glow Complexion Cream
Thick creamy texture, similar to sunblock
And to lock in the essence, it's always good to have the Radiant Glow Complexion Cream as a moisturizer which may also act as a makeup base. By using the Radiant Glow Complexion Cream, this rejuvenates the skin cells and brightens the complexion while providing hydration for the skin. It also has a mild sun blocking agent to keep your skin protected from harsh UV rays, but of course, it's always best to apply proper sunscreen for extra protection. It comes in a small pump bottle that contains about 30ml of product. 

Easy to apply and works great as a makeup base
Since the texture of the cream is a little heavy, I would use 1 pump of it and apply it onto the 5 points of my face. Gently spreading it out to ensure that its evenly spread out, the only comment that I have for this would be that it does leave your skin feeling slightly greasy, but it works great with makeup as it keeps your makeup fresh to last you throughout the day. Not a fan of the greasy texture, but once you apply your loose powder, youre good to go as it leaves your skin with a smooth finish. 

Radiant Glow Hydrating Essence Face Mask Box (5pcs)
RM62.00

Radiant Glow Hydrating Essence Face Mask
There are instructions on the back of the pack as well
For an extra boost in moisture, I actually really enjoyed using the Radiant Glow Hydrating Essence Face Mask. The mask is silky and translucent, so it feels really comfortable to leave it on the skin while you wait for the mask to do all the work. Designed to hydrate the skin with its naturally derived moisturizing ingredients, it has been proven to leave my skin soft and supple after application. The mask pack has instructions on it and it would be recommended to leave it on for about 20-30 minutes for best results.    

Easy to apply and it's very thin
Generous with the essence
Use the extra's to wipe on body
When opening the individually packed mask, you'll find 3 layers of sheets that protect the mask. I usually remove the white sheet first, then gently apply it directly to the skin with the blue sheet facing outwards. Once satisfied with placing, remove the blue sheet and adjust the mask to your liking. The mask is so juicy that even after applying it on your face, you would also notice that there is extra essence in the pack. Don't let good essence go to waste, and maybe just apply it on your body. 

VERDICT?

What are my thoughts on Byme Skincare?
As a verdict, I would have to say that im impressed with Byme Skincare products and I honestly feel that the product is very safe for those who would like to opt for products that are toxin-free and cruelty-free. I am also convinced that the formulation for each product is effective and I find it a bonus that their products are derived from natural ingredients. What more can you really ask for from a skincare set? Hehe. It's minimal, and it does the job! In terms of price, I would say that it may be a little on the higher end, but for something that doesn't contain harsh ingredients that would harm the skin, its a fair price charge since it worked on my skin very well without giving me any breakouts. 

RM289 for a whole complete set (as image)
On a personal note, if you would want to know what would be my top 3 products to get from the range, I would highly recommend you to try their Radiant Glow Gentle Cleansing Water, The Radiant Glow Hydrating Essence Face Mask or the Radiant Glow Skin Essence as they are currently my top 3 favorite products to use by Byme Skincare. So be sure to try it out if youre looking for safe skincare that would instead improve your skin condition as you follow a minimal skincare routine.
