Tease by Jase’s Tea Room (AT110 Block A, Icom Square, Jalan Pending, 93450 Kuching) is one of the food outlets located at iCom Square. They used to locate at Premier 101. This new outlet’s interior design is totally different from the previous outlet. So much more spacious and bright.

They specialized in in loose leaf teas, coffee and light meals. You can find burgers, pizzas, pies, sandwiches, and cakes available all day. Opening hour between 11am-11pm.

Left: Salted Eggyolk Sauce with Fried Chicken Thigh Burger + Potato Wedges (RM16). Don’t underestimate this, looks small but packed with goodies! Not easy to finish on your own, best to share if you’re not a big eater. Very sinfully yummy.

Right: One of the cakes available, Teh C Peng Mousse Cake. It’s an acquired taste. The sweetness is pretty mild.

Overall, the environment is decent, great place to hang out and food tasted great. Drinks are priced reasonably. I’ve been coming here on and off with friends because the place is spacious enough and even if there’s a lot of people, it’s still comfortable.

Naruko Raw Job’s Tear and Taiwan Magnolia Facial Cleansing Products

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Naruko Raw Job’s Tear and Taiwan Magnolia Facial Cleansing Products

I’ve been using Naruko’s facial cleansing products for 2 years. The first was Narcissus DNA Repairing Foaming Wash which got me hooked as it didn’t cause any problem to my skin. However, I couldn’t get this anymore at any of the Watsons in Malaysia. So I tried the other range.

Naruko Taiwan Magnolia Brightening and Firming Cream Wash EX

It didn’t produce a lot of foam. You must use makeup remover to remove your makeup or sunscreen before using this cream wash otherwise the residue of makeup or sunscreen will still be there. However, it doesn’t cause my skin to turn red, itch, or dry after cleansing. The face felt soft to touch after that.

Does it work as it claimed? Brightening and firming? To be frank, I didn’t notice any difference. Maybe you’ll see the result if you also use the other product from the range.

I tried the sheet mask, it was awesome! It did brighten and firm. Effect could be seen immediately. My skin absorb everything from the mask without feeling sticky on the skin. Will talk more about this in other post.

After that, I decided to try the other range, Naruko Raw Job’s Tear Supercritical C02 Pore Minimizing & Brightening Foaming Wash. My friend in Adelaide is a fan of this range. She has the whole range of product. That’s what prompted me to try.


The red granules infused with Vitamin E for exfoliation and anti-aging. Sounds great right? It foamed well but I felt that my skin was a bit tight after that. I also developed a bit of redness after using it but not as bad compare to other brands. Also, I didn’t see any effect at all. Hence, it just served as facial wash for me. Maybe, if you combine with its other products in the range will give better result.

I tried the sheet mask before too. It’s just another facial mask for me. I guess this range isn’t meant for me.

Overall, Naruko products aren’t bad. Affordable as well. In fact, I had ordered its Narcissus DNA Repairing Foaming Wash and facial masks (Narcissus and Taiwan Magnolia) from its official website because I do love the Narcissus foaming wash and the Taiwan Magnolia mask sheet. I figured the Narcissus mask isn’t bad also. We’ll see… Will review them in future post.

Mittsu-Hoiru Japanese Restaurant

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Mittsu-Hoiru Japanese Restaurant

Another Japanese restaurant in VivaCity, Mittsu-Hoiru.

Normally you’ll see conveyor belt with plates of sushi. Here, Sushi Boat System is used to move the sushi around. It’s a bit challenging to pick up the sushi from the boat. I guess it’s because of the tray they used.


I ordered Cha Shoba(RM11.50), green tea chill soba noodle and took a sushi from the boat. I have no idea what fish meat was that hehe… The soba noodle wasn’t filling, too little for me, so I just took one sushi from the boat that fancied me and didn’t take note of the price 😛 Overall, all the food I had wasn’t bad. Just one problem, the rice of the sushi crumbled… Duh…

These were ordered by my dining companions:

Left: Kaisen Nitsuke Don (RM14.50), mixed seafood rice.
Right: Salmon Don (RM16.50), grilled salmon fish rice.
The rice dish came with a bowl of miso soup.

There’s mixed review about this place by others. For me, it looked and tasted authentic. Prices are reasonable. However, it didn’t give me the urge of wanting to go back. I’ll just rate it as above average.

Artistry Pure White UV Protect SPF 50+++

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Artistry Pure White UV Protect SPF 50+++

Let’s take a break from all the food. Sharing a beauty product this time.

Artistry Pure White UV Protect SPF 50+++ is one of the products from Amway. I received this as a gift, so I’ve got no idea how much it costs. Any idea?

Fast-absorbing and moisturizing, this water-resistant, broad-spectrum formula helps shield skin during the highest levels of sun exposure
Exclusive Pure White Balancing Complex, with ingredients known for their brightening, soothing and antioxidant properties, helps even your skintone and keeps skin looking flawless.
Ultra light formula creates a smooth base for makeup to glide on

To use, shake well and squeeze the needed amount and smooth it on your face after your moisturizer.

Non greasy and it’s great to use on its own or under makeup. It doesn’t leave a sticky film on my face instead it’s smooth to touch. My face stayed matte for more than 8 hours no matter in air-con room or out there under the sun with or without makeup. It didn’t break me out as well.

In conclusion, it’s a very good product to use. Two thumbs up! So far, this is the best sun protector for face that I’ve used.

Bumbu Cabe

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Bumbu Cabe


Want some Sundanese cuisine? You can get it from Bumbu Cabe at iCom Square (Ground Floor, Parcel B128 & B129, Block B, Icom Square, Jalan Pending, 93450 Kuching) or Cityone. The place is always packed! Some said the food are expensive, some said it’s reasonable. For me, I would agree with the latter. A reminder though, the food is consider spicy to quite a lot of people.


Left: The sambal set that will be given to you once you’re seated.

Right: Rice served in stainless steel pot. We ordered white rice. There’s also other type of rice to order.


After you’re seated, go to the area where food are displayed. Tell the staff your table number and order the food there. What you see here is the amount of food for one portion. For each, we only ordered one portion. The price ranges around RM6/portion. They have a wide variety of vegetables to meat for you to choose.

We had potato strips, chicken, and eggplant with sambal. All were delicious. We were stuffed! Don’t underestimate the portion, it looked small but took the 3 of us (average eaters) quite a fair bit of effort to finish them all.

All these including four drinks for three pax was less than RM50.

One more thing, I recently found out that the price at CityOne branch is higher even though they are serving the same thing.
