Gold Fever with Kate

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Gold Fever with Kate

Was lucky to be invited to join the Kate Gold Party Experience at Magenta Restaurant last night.


Golden fever!


Kate Makeup Demo was done by Kate International Makeup artist, Mr. Mikiya Hirai. He used the stunning “Goldosh Eyes” on the model’s eyes. The gold theme was deliberate and meaningful as Kate’s distinctive persona is one of fun, party, sophistication and a touch of enigma. Sorry for the ugly photo, it’s too dark for me to take a decent photo with my camera without using flash, it was such harsh flash.


We had fun last night and I won myself a box of Kate’s products in the Q&A session. Also had a chance to take photos with Mr. Hirai.



The food we had last night. There’s appetiser and main course. No dessert though. The food was great but the beef (top right) wasn’t up to my expectation hehehe… Because I was expecting steak ;p


Aside from the food, demo, and game. There was also “Show Your Kate Style” contest by Everrise/Kate Valuable Customers who was selected from the lucky draw campaign/ The ladies were styled to present themselves in Kate style. These were the contestants and three was selected as the winner based on their performance on stage. Didn’t get to take any good photos of the winners because of the location where I was seated.


Left: The goodies I got after attending the event. WOW! HAPPY! Got the Goldish Eyes eyeshodow(RM59) and Slim Gel Pencil(RM44). You can actually find real 24k gold in the eyeshadow! There’s two sample sized products too namely Concealing Cover Powder Foundation(RM74) and Powderless Liquid(RM74). Gonna review it when I’m in the mood ;p

Right: Aother product was one of the FRESHEL multifunctional skincare range by Kanebo. Will review it when I got the chance to use it. I need to finish off whatever I’m using now to open a new product. It’s amzing with 5-in-1 functions, gonna save so much time!

Thanks Kate and Everrise for the golden experience.

Western Gallery

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Western Gallery

Western Gallery is located at Pending, not far from Laven Bridal Gallery and Hong Leong Bank. It started business some time last year. They serve western food.

Went there for lunch with my parents last month.


Left: The interior is very simple. The kitchen is open concept located in front of the shop.
Right: Jasmine green tea if not mistaken.

It’s been quite awhile and I forgot to take note of the actual name and price of the food.

Left: Garlic butter fish fillet.
Right: Mixed grill, we had lamb, chicken, and pork. Better to share this with another 1 or 2 person if you’re a medium or small eater.

Overall, the meat was cooked to perfection but the marinate was a bit overwhelming for me. Too salty and with very strong spice. The prices were reasonable. I might go back to try other dishes even though the food was not up to my expectations as I forgot this is Kuching, most western cuisine here are customized to fit local taste.

Tutti Frutti

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Tutti Frutti

June! Second day of June, we’re in the middle of 2013 now! Very scary… Anyway, no more Adelaide’s post starting from now.

Happened to be at City One, one of the latest shopping malls in Kuching, when Tutti Frutti was having it’s grand opening and had an offer of 20% off (if not mistaken, there’s discount for sure just don’t remember how much)


My parents and I decided to try it out because of the discount, 10gm for RM0.56, else we won’t bother. Due to the discount, there’s so many people lining up.


We had three flavours, mango, strawberry, and vanilla. This small tub cost us almost RM20! If there’s no discount, it would cost even more! Very pricey. It’s pretty heavy. You get to pump your own frozen yogurt and add your own toppings, then they will weigh and you pay. It’s not a cheap thing to indulge in.

I first came across this sort of concept in Adelaide, the price turned me off from trying it out. There’s many frozen yogurt establishments now in Kuching and I think this is the only one letting you pump your own.

Will I have it again? If I’m not the one paying. I really can’t get myself to spend almost RM20 or more on something like this -.-” With this money, I can have a number of proper meals.

Big Wang BBQ

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Big Wang BBQ

If not mistaken, this is my final Adelaide food post. After this post, there won’t be anything about Adelaide anymore. That’s the end of my almost 2 years adventure. Maybe, this also means I should let go of all the past, live in the present and starting to plot my future seriously after almost 3 months coming back. I’m still quite blur and wondering on where to go next. Anyway, let’s talk about the food.

Big Wang BBQ (305 Morphett St, Adelaide, SA 5000) was quite new when I went there with my Chinese friends for my farewell dinner. It’s so seclude and not obvious at all.


Left: The interior is very simple, not much of decorations. However, please be prepared to smell like BBQ infused with cumin spice after dining here.
Right: Beansprout (AUD5.80), it tasted as it should. Nothing to rave about it. Portion wise was average.


These are just part of what we ordered, chicken, lamb, mushroom, and some internal organs of chicken and pig, and so on. All tasted the same as it’s using the same spice. My friends were very happy with it. It wasn’t bad. We’re stuffed to the brim as we ordered too much for only 5 of us. As for the price, it’s reasonable. All in all I think we spent almost AUD100 for this meal includive of drinks. You need to drink plenty of water eating this.

It was okay for our experience. Will go back if there’s chance but it seemed like there’s many negative feedbacks on it these days. Hmm…

La Bonne Table

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on La Bonne Table

Almost, almost… One more post to go for my Adelaide’s food post.


Another farewell dinner, this was for me and the another friend, we had it at La Bonne Table (128 Wakefield St, Adelaide, SA 5000).


Left: Extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dip with the bread.
Right: Oyster Plate, Natural (a dozen – AUD19). My first time had fresh oyster in Adelaide was last year in September, this was my second time. *SLURP*


Left: L.B.T crispy skin chicken in sweet soy glaze (AUD6), it’s nice but a bit too salty for me, still it’s not bad, heard that it’s a must-have when you’re there.

Right: Don’t remember what’s this, a type of pasta dish. According to my friend, it’s rather loaded in expensive ingredients, can be a bit too much of good thing in a plate.


Left: 250gm MSA sir-loin, saute potato, Roquefort butter (AUD27).

Right: I ordered Grilled Salmon, saffron and crab risotto (AUD26), this is nice, just a little bit too much of saffron and the salmon is a bit too small, we’re a bit shocked with the size actually hahaha…


Left: Crumbled pork rib eye, calvados glazed apple, roasted new potato (AUD26).

Right: The menu. I found the menu a bit confusing, need to take time to really look at it carefully to understand the categorization on which is what.

Overall, the food was good loaded with a tad too much of expensive ingredients, price was average for place like this. Environment was great too. It can be rather stuffy because of the high ceiling on a hot summer night.
