Ichiriki The Gardens Mall

Last Monday, I went to this Japanese Restaurant (Non-Halal) with my friends. I bought the coupons form Groupon which cost RM22 Nett per coupon for weekday. As I know Groupon will have on and off selling this coupon. Is totally worth it. It just located at The Gardens Mall. 

On the table you will see there are 3 types of sauces which the first one in a red tea pot thing is for the deep fried food, it tasted sweet but not super sweet. The second bottle is for the salad, if i not mistaken is a plum sauce. While for the third red container, i guess it is a Japanese Soy Sauce. 

So, because I bought from Groupon I only can choose 1 out of 3 in another special menu which i forgotten to take picture. Actually the set are similar, 2 sets are come with deep fried black pork which serve with rice and a small hotpot soup while the other one is serve with 3 types of cold noodles and a sushi hand-roll.  Another choice is serve with deep fried ebi (Prawn). 

Below are the menu for your references:

I tried the gyoza before but it tasted so so only, not something i will craving for.

Here comes our food~!!! We had had the same lunch set.

Ladies, is quit a big portions~~~ you have to make a big room for your stomach.

This set serve with small hot-pot (kimchi soup base with cabbage, spring onion and a few slides of pork), a Japanese white rice, deep fried black pork, chawamushi, sesame and fruits. 

You have to smash the sesame with the small wood stick, the waiter there will help you to do so.

After that, mix the sauce with the sesame to eat together with the pork. (*i forgotten to take the stick out before i pour, i'm sorry*)

The plum sauce is for the vege which come with black pork.

Dip a good amount of the sauce and enjoy it.

It taste crispy on the outside and tender meat inside. IT WAS NOT OILY at all. Oh my black pork~

The chawamushi is not the best in the town but still GOOD. It so soft ~

THIS mini hot-pot soup, the meat inside is quit nice tho, i finished the whole pot of the soup. Just nice, wont too spicy.

I definitely will come back again.

Rate : 4.5/ 5.0 (Their service is quite Good, the staff very polite)

The restaurant located at The Gardens 1st Floor, Lot F-237B . Which located near Isetan

REVIEW : MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation

Let start by describing a bit about my skin condition before my review on this product. My skin is oily combination type, my T-zone is quite oily especially after 5 hours after i wake up. My color is NC 25 and I have uneven skin tone and scarring on the cheeks. 

Product Name	:	Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation
Description (in the website)	:	A tenacious waterproof formula that can be used as a foundation or concealer, wearing for an unprecedented 24 hours. Neither rain nor tears can budge this oil-free watertight product that actually repels moisture from the surface of the face. The formula blends seamlessly on the skin with medium to full weightless coverage and a natural satin finish.
Size	:	25ML/ 0.84 FL OZ
Price	:	RM164.00 (Included GST)

I'm not so sure how many shades does this product come with because in the website is show only 13 shades without NC25 but i got my NC25 in MAC store Mid Valley Megamall. 

First of all - the packaging, is tube type so is very light but with a solid cover. I like this packaging because is very hygiene and easy to carry around. 

At the back of the packaging, it stated that this product can directly apply to face or body, blend with finger, sponge or brush. I personally like to apply foundation using my finger.

So, this is me without any foundation but just moisturizer which you can see i had a bad skin. 

The consistency of this foundation is a bit thicker but a little goes a long way. 

I applied primer before put on the foundation, the left side is with a thin one layer of foundation and the right side just primer. As you can see the color of my skin, the left side is very obvious more fair compared to the right. 

This is after applied one layer of foundation. 

If you have a very nice skin just want to even out your skin tone and a sheer coverage than one layer is enough. 

I prefer more coverage so i put two layers on. This is after 15 minutes I put on two layer and set with loose powder. I finished the makeup with bronzer and blusher just to add some dimension. 

This are the picture i took under natural sun lighting. 

So here is the before and after MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is been total around 5 hours i wearing this foundation

As you can see the picture above. Everything seems fine just I have oily skin so there are some shine on da face. In the product description, it says it is a satin finish so a little bit shine still ok~ we got that blotting paper.

Meanwhile, in the packaging it says waterproof so i gently splash some water on my face... awesome!

 
Yes, my eyebrow... i know... is not waterproof so after splashed some water gone abit.
Back to the foundation, after I splashed some water on my face~ i dry it with tissue, awesome! Just a tiny tiny a bit foundation came off on the tissue and my shine all gone. Just Awesome. Maybe next time i no need to use bloating paper, just wash my face and put some powder over it~ ta-dah~!

Conclusion:

Pros : Lightweight medium to full coverage that can be sheered out if desired. Looks natural on skin. WATERPROOF.

Cons : A bit sticky. Difficult to put on second layer after the first layer dry. 

Rate : 4.0/5.0 

Thanks for reading. 

Restart...

About me…

I guess I should start with this…

Actually I had started to blog since year 2008 but stopped in 2010.

Now, looking back all those blog post…*vomit blood*

Damn~ I was so childish... Nope! Is SUPER childish and ungrateful! My god~

BUT now I decided to restart…

My writing skill is not that excellent but I love writing and my grammar still got a big room to improve so please please please bear with me…

The reason I wanted to write blog again is because

1.       Makeup Review

I notice that less Asian blogger especially Malaysian’s blogger write about makeup product review. I have a habit which before I purchase any makeup product I will read review online first but unfortunately mostly are from western country and their weather and skin condition is different from us.

2.      Food

All the blogger will upload the pictures of the food and how awesome is the environment but come on~~ I quite concern on the price too.

3.       My Thought, My Life

I think a lot and I talk a lot with different people, sometime they really inspire me. I wanted to write it all down. Record my life…

Ok.. To be continue....
