Kuching-Hong Kong Direct Flight by Hong Kong Airlines

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Kuching-Hong Kong Direct Flight by Hong Kong Airlines

Good news! No need to suffer from transiting flight to Hong Kong. Direct flight from Kuching to Hong Kong is back! This time brought to you by Hong Kong Airlines! I really hate transit, wasting time and energy. I would prefer direct flight anytime compare to transiting.


So, the first flight coming in from Hong Kong will be on 28th May. In time for the Gawai long weekend. You can stalk hongkongairlines.com starting tomorrow for promotional price. Mind you, it’s not a low-cost carrier. Better don’t miss it. Maybe Hong Kong for the coming June long weekend. Why not? Flying two times a week, just nice for a less than a week quick getaway.


You’re going to see taxis around Kuching bearing the new flight route sticker.


Not only that, the tambang at Waterfront as well.

Don’t forget about Rainforest World Music Festival this coming 5th-7th August. Are we going to see a lot of people from China to attend this year’s festival with this new direct flight?

Quiznos Cafe (Q CAFE)

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Quiznos Cafe (Q CAFE)

Just a quick short one about this new eatery in Vivacity, Quiznos Cafe or also known as Q CAFE. Located outside the mall.

one of the largest restaurant/cafe brands in the world. With over 2000 STORES WORLDWIDE & A PRESENCE IN 30 COUNTRIES, Q CAFE continues to be one of the fastest growing restaurant chains!

Whether dining in or eating on-the-go, Q CAFE is designed for today’s busy customers who are looking for a tasty, fresher alternative to many of today’s traditional fast food restaurants. Q CAFE offers flavorful chef-inspired menu items, including toasted SANDWICHES, PIZZAS, SALADS and WRAPS!


Out of curiosity we came here. Very cozy place, they have books available for you to read too because it’s also related to The Library Coffee Bar. Haven’t get the chance to pay a visit to the coffee bar yet. It’s located inside the mall but I don’t remember which floor.


Ordered Zesty steak sandwich was packed with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, onions, mushrooms, honey bourbon mustard, and zesty grille sauce. You can choose the bread type you like. There’s white, wheat, and rosemary parmesan. The one I had was rosemary parmesan, not a bad combination.

Lots of chopped onions, not zesty enough but still not bad. It’s just me, I don’t like onion. I don’t remember how much it cost though, definitely more than RM10 for 6 inches.

Will I come back? Hmm… I’m not much of a sandwich person so I don’t think so unless I have got no choice or it’s a treat.

Hog & Wild

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Hog & Wild

Hog & Wild can be found in VivaCity’s Everrise or Cold Storage at Green Heights. If you like to have good and affordable pork dishes, you can try this place out. Portion is huge and price is very reasonable. I’ve been getting my fix for pork quite often here hehehe…


The House Salad is surprisingly huge! Looks like a bouquet. So cute! It’s filling, only RM9.90. You can just have this and you’ll be full! Sliced ham, tomatoes, cucumber, mix green salad leaves tossed with Vincotto Vinegar and olive oil.


Left: Gourmet BBQ Ribs (RM29.90) served with jacket potato and boiled vegetables. Looks small but it’s not! Better to share for average and small eaters.

Right: Artisan Gourmet Sausage Platter (RM48.90), consists of 4 types of Artisan Fresh Sausages served with roasted potato, sauerkraut, and pomodoro sauce. Really have to share this. 2 average eaters for this is still a bit too much. 3 pax sharing this dish with another salad dish would be just nice. Yummy sausages! Burp… Love the one with black pepper, don’t like the one with so much garlic.


Also bought pork crackles hehehe… Oh yum yum yum! So addictive. This brand is from South Australia but I’ve never tried it back then. Only have the chance now. Also, I only discovered pork crackles when I was in the UK ;p

A nice place to go for pork and wine pairing. Great food, great price. I’ve been going there at least once a month. So far only been to the one at VivaCity, no chance to visit the one at Cold Storage yet.

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.
