September Fashion Shopping Haul from SammyDress

Hi babes, I am back with my monthly fashion update. This month’s fashion haul comes from SammyDress, which houses a wide variety of fashion pieces from around the world. When I say “wide variety”, it really means there are over thousands of choices for you to pick from!

Most items here are pretty affordable, plus international shipping is available too. All I do is to wait patiently for the shipment to arrive in 10-25 days time (Depending on country location).

Fashion Women's Crossbody Bag With Patent Leather and Solid Color Design

(Direct Link: HERE)

The best part of SammyDress is that, I can see plenty of one-off, unique fashion pieces that you ought to own once in a lifetime. For instance, this seashell-shaped crossbody bag in the reflective silver finish is definitely a must-have if you love Korean fashion. I have seen many Korean stars pulling off a cool look with this type of shiny, reflective material.

Plus, the material is quite good in quality. And this unique design is quite rare here, I mean I personally have not seen it in any physical stores in town. Good to go for a casual weekend!

The silver reflective color is good to go with any colors! Easy to match with anything ❤

Another good bargain I got from SammyDress is the sportswear. Usually sports bra and running pants can easily cost me more than RM100 per piece. But I manage to grab some good ones at just a fraction of the price.

Stylish Strappy Cross Back Printed Sport Bra For Women

(Direct Link: HERE)

Yay, I’m a happy kid when the items arrive! The quality is exceptionally good for this price. The cotton material of the pants is so soft and thick, and good to absorb sweats during workouts. Whereas for the sports bra, the crossback straps and elastic band provide sufficient support especially for high-energy activities.

Women's Active Style Elastic Hit Color Block Sport Leggings

(Direct Link: HERE)

Although the stylish sports bra and elastic sports pants do not come in a set, they actually complement each other pretty well there! Design wise, I am totally in love with the stained glass design printed on the sports bra. It looks so hipster there :P

In fact, there are plenty more iconic fashion pieces that I want to buy from SammyDress!! And each time when new arrivals are updated on the website, I will keep an eye on it, and shop when time comes.

If you love online shopping like me, be warned,

you probably can’t resist the temptations on Sammydress! :P

Anyway, KEEP CALM and ENJOY SHOPPING!

The Fajitastic Five at Chili's Grill & Bar

Three strips of ribeye steak, two dollops of corn salsa, one piece of warm flour tortilla-- That's how simple yet delicious a fajita can be. Chili's Grill & Bar's Fajita Fiesta happening this August - October 2016 is bringing our Tex-Mex indulgence to the next level....let's see what it has to offer!

With a global presence of more than 1,600 restaurants across 31 countries, I am sure that Chili's Grill & Bar requires no further introduction. I remembered my first experience enjoying the bottomless Tostada Chips (They still have it now!) at Chili's and I fell in love with it since then.

APPETIZER

Beef Chorizo Meatballs @ RM29.95

From time to time, it introduces new appetizer and this time we have the latest creation on the promotional menu: A plate of soft, tender beef chorizo meatballs in honey-chipotle sauce. Nice to have this for communal sharing to keep our conversation going while waiting for the mains.

Southwestern-inspired, classic American and Mexican dishes are aplenty here but what you shouldn't miss from 29th August 2016 to 23rd October 2016 are the 5 types of newly-introduced fajita-- a modern interpretation of traditional Mexican dish served as a taco on a tortilla.

LATEST ON THE MENU - FAJITAS

Roasted Prawn Fajitas @ RM43.95

As far as I could remember, sizzling fajitas here have always been well-portioned and I really like how it is served on a hot plate, keeping it warm and fresh till the end of the meal.

If you love seafood with spicy kick, I'm sure you can't resist this combination: Succulent prawns, beef chorizo and pineapple pico de gallo served on a bed of cooked red onion rings and garlic tomatoes. It is the citrus chile sauce that gives the refreshing tang and spiciness to the overall oceanic flavours.

Take a bit of everything and wrap in a warm tortilla.

It's so irresistibly good, especially when you eat with your hands.

Smoked Buffalo Chicken Fajitas @ RM36.95

My dining partner prefers the chicken fajita instead, for the extra smoky edge it gives, especially when it is complemented with Chili's classic spicy wing sauce. Plus, weight watchers would appreciate the lean chicken meat used in this generously-portioned sizzling dish.

Some may wrap it on a tortilla with the cooked red onion rings, bleu cheese crumbles, fresh cilantro and roasted jalapeño. But seriously the marinade is so divine that I could eat the chicken by itself!

Poultry fans may also love to try the crispy Tortilla-crusted Chicken Fajitas (RM37.95) or mildly sweet Honey-Chipotle Chicken Fajitas (RM37.95).

Ribeye Fajitas with Queso Fundido @ RM64.95

As much as we love the chicken and prawn fajitas, we must admit that the winner of the day is the tender sliced ribeye steak fajitas smothered in warm garlic queso fundido. We are pretty familiar with the kicky citrus chile sauce, fresh cilantro and roasted jalapeño by now, as introduced to us in the previous dishes.

But there is more here! Queso fundido translates to "molten cheese", something that melts perfectly in the mouth and keeps me going for more.

Rice and Black Beans Boat - Cilantro rice, black beans, corn salsa and crumbled feta cheese.

The good thing here is, all Chili's sizzling fajitas are served with warm flour tortillas and a choice between Avocado Boat or Rice and Black Beans Boat. If you are feeling famished, the latter may be a better choice.

Well, I'm being a lil' greedy with my tortilla filling here. Nevertheless, everything goes together in a snap and receives the biggest applause from the crowd.

Avocado Boat - Sliced avocado with house-made pico de gallo,

corn salsa, beef bacon bits sprinkled with fresh cilantro.

DRINKS AND DESSERT

Watermelon Lemonade @ RM14.95

Refreshing flavor of lemonade combined with fresh watermelon purée.

Our tex-mex affair does not just end here. We wash down the sumptuous meal with refreshing sips of fresh watermelon with lemonade, while saving some space in the stomach for the new dessert,

Chocolate Bread Pudding @ RM24.95

Two huge chunks of warm Mexican chocolate bread pudding, is topped with fresh sliced strawberries, rich chocolate ganache and vanilla ice-cream; then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. The resulting taste? So soft, so rich, and melts perfectly well in the mouth.

Let's bring some sizzle to your meal! Delicious, fresh-from-the-kitchen Tex-mex food coupled with fun and energetic atmosphere at Chili's complete our dining experience here.

If you have kids below 12 years old, they can dine in for FREE if they are accompanied by an adult with a purchase of a main course menu such as fajitas, pastas, burgers, and more.

Review: My First Experience of Coolsculpting Fat Freezing Treatment

As mentioned in my previous blog post during my first visit to ME Clinic, here's the long-awaited update on my very first CoolSculpting treatment there ❤ No idea what is CoolSculpting? It is the only FDA-approved, non-surgical fat-reduction treatment that uses cooling/"freezing" method to eliminate stubborn fats. Hence, no needles, no surgery, non-invasive, no downtime.

In ME Clinic, there are 5 applicators which targets on different stubborn fat areas which are:

CoolMini Procedure: Eliminate double chin.

CoolSmooth Pro Procedure: For outer thigh and non-pinchable fat area.

CoolFit Procedure: For arm and inner thigh.

CoolCore Procedure: To sculpt abs waist and sides of body.
CoolCurve+ Procedure: For small body area such as waist and bra budge.

CoolSculpting safely and effectively removes 20 to 30% of fat cells in the area treated, but the effect is NOT immediate. It may take 4 to 8 weeks (and longer for the optimal result) for the result to be visible as fat elimination through natural body process requires time.

Some might know that I always complain about my bottom-heavy body figure. No matter how much I exercise, it is difficult for me to lose weight around the hips and thighs. Therefore, I go for the CoolSmooth Pro Procedure for those non-pinchable fat area.

Apart from the huge machine, here are some of the tools required for this treatment.

The procedure begins with the doctor's examination on the targeted area-- Dr. David puts a mark on both sides of my outer thigh area where the CoolSculpting applicator will be placed on later. Each side will take about 75 minutes of treatment time (In total, it takes 150 minutes for both sides of my thighs).

Then the nurses place a thin gel pad on one side of my thigh that helps CoolSculpting vacuum applicator to attach to the targeted area and insulates the skin during the treatment.

Once the gel pad is in place, the CoolSculpting vacuum applicator is attached to the area of desired fat reduction. It uses suction to gently gather in the excess fat, drawing it in between two cooling panels.

The cloth wrapper is pretty tight around my lower body, to ensure the applicator is well-attached to the thigh. During the first 10 minutes, the outer thigh starts to feel some deep pulling, tugging, pinching, numbness and slight discomfort.

After that, the feel is very minimal because the area is already numb by then. During the 75 minutes treatment, you can do anything such as watching TV, reading books, eating, etc. Totally no restriction at all, as long as the movement is minimal.

But for my case, since I have to sleep sideways and reduce movements, I don't do much except for scrolling on my Facebook news feed and playing Pokemon Go.

Right after the applicator is removed, you can see the redness on the treated area but it is gone in just a couple of hours time. Plus, the nurses help with a little massage, to reduce numbness and improve blood circulation. Totally no downtime at all! I can resume my routine immediately after the routine.

While the result will only be visible after 4-8 weeks (Depending on individuals), I am currently keeping a post-treatment diary which I'd love to share with you guys!

→ Temporary numbness

→ Swelling on my outer thighs

→ Firm and tense on the sides

→ Late-onset pain during the second week, especially at night when I am sleeping:

The pain is sharp and it comes and goes throughout the night that it disturbs my sleep.

→ Tingling / pain when sitting / standing too long. So long as I change my posture at intervals, the pain will reduce.

→ Swelling subsides slightly

→ No more tingling sensation

→ The skin around the treated area remains sensitive

→ Nothing unusual. Continues with normal routine

*IMPORTANT* NOTE:
Only 10-15% patients worldwide will experience the side effects (mentioned in Week 2),
hence I guess I am just being unlucky in this case. But the result will be proven, noticeable, and lasting!

Can't wait for another month and I can share the end result with you guys and see how well CoolSculpting works!

Sunday Brunch at Brotzeit German Bar & Restaurant, KL

Brotzeit German Bar & Restaurant has been a firm favourite among pork devotees and beer connoisseurs seeking for a satisfactory dinner and after-work drinks, with conveniently located branches in Bangsar Shopping Centre, Sunway Pyramid and Mid Valley.

Little do we realise that Brotzeit is also a great place for breakfast/lunch as its Sunday brunch menu features an array of hearty breakfast sets including a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea. The portion is pretty sizeable, so I am sure you’d love the idea of sharing the platter while you get to enjoy more varieties.

Brotzeit Signature Breakfast @ RM32.50

Kickstarting our day with a cup of cappuccino and a glass of watermelon juice (Add-on fruit juices @ RM6 each), the crowd’s favourite Brotzeit Signature Breakfast is all we need to fuel the day while satisfying our cravings for hogs.

No breakfast set can be more complete than the hearty open-faced sandwiches—Layers of smoky ham, belly bacon, emmenthaler cheese, onions and tomatoes sitting on multigrain bread)—2 sunny side-ups, streaky bacon and Brotzeit’s well-loved sausages.

The signature Nürnberger Grilled Pork Bratwurst sausages here are uniquely made using Brotzeit’s traditional recipe. The resulting taste? Extra savoury with delicious crunch. Best paired with the creamy mashed potatoes. I love how the mash exudes strong flavours of milk and butter, while retaining its chunky texture without being too mushy.

Hangover Breakfast @ RM28

The hangover breakfast lives up to its name! You’d enjoy this amazing meaty combination of beef goulash soup, bacon and smoked salmon served with a farm fresh omelette (You can choose to have it fried, poached, scrambled etc) and Laugen bread roll. The platter tends to be a tad salty, but trust me, it’d taste just nice on the palate to cure that hangover after a night of drinking.

Dip the sweet bread roll into the thick beef stew for a kick of spices that tantalizes the taste buds.

Savoury Pancake @ RM22

If you feel like going for something less heavy, perhaps digging into the soft thin pancake filled with feta cheese, tomatoes and olives with egg (Poached, scrambled or fried) on crisp-hot toasted multi-seed bread sounds like a good idea?

However, the feta cheese adds a distinctive salty taste which may not be acceptable for some. To cut through the heavy flavours, we pair it with the house special 0.3 litre bier mixer and the resulting taste is totally well-balanced!

Affensaft (Weissbier with Mango Juice) @ RM23

At Brotzeit, it is never too early to drink as good food comes hand in hand with delicious handcrafted beer here. The Munich’s classic Weissbier is light, unfiltered and slightly malty with hints of banana. Mango juice adds sweetness into the concoction, making me going for more.

Refreshing on the mouth and sweet on the palate, it is safe to say that the taste is acceptable even for non-drinkers. I must make sure that I try the other variation, Weissbier with Banana Juice the next time I visit Brotzeit!

Chocolate Lava Cake @ RM25

Lastly, dessert is here to conclude our Sunday brunch date. Brotzeit’s version of molten lava cake is not what we normally have out there. Encased in the crispy outer shell is the melting hot white chocolate, so creamy, so rich that it puts me on cloud nine.

No worries if it seems too sweet, because the tartness from the duo sauces—Forest berry and Australia plum— cut through the sweetness and balance out the overall taste. Seriously, you gotta try this out!
