Thai Orchid Restaurant

Posted on November 2, 2011November 3, 2011 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Thai Orchid Restaurant

Last Saturday, after went for movie Nova Palace Cinema at Rundle Street, we went to Henley Beach for dinner. My first movie in the cinema in Adelaide with the ticket I got from my first ever contest prize from the uni, my first Italian movie, my first visit to Henley Beach, and my first Thai cuisine in Adelaide with my first two male Italian friends! So many first! However, we didn’t exchange phone numbers, they’re my friend’s friend, we went on double date ;p Also, the most expensive meal I had! -.-” So… Broke! Broken the record of Wasai.


We’re there at around 5pm. It was quite chilly due to the sea breeze. Before dinner, we went for a round of pool while waiting for the restaurant to open its door. It was my first time playing pool too!


Then, we went to Thai Orchid Restaurant at Henley Beach.


Left: Mixed Entrée ($25.00), mixed platter for two, all foods are chosen by the chef. It’s so huge, just having this will be good enough for two average eater. Everything on the plate was great! There’s Gai Hor Bai Toey aka Pandan Chicken, spicy seafood and beef salad, and vegetable in batter.

Right: Lemongrass Quail ($9), grilled marinated quail served with picked vegetables and black pepper sauce. NICE! My first time having quail ;p


Left: Gai Yang aka Grilled Chicken ($18), chicken breast marinated with lemon grass and aromatic herbs, served with tamarind sauce. This tasted as it should.

Right: Ta Krai Nuer aka Lemongrass Beef ($18), beef cooked with special blended sauce, flavoured with lemongrass and coconut milk. OMG! Damn thick and yummy!


Left: Pla Lard Prik aka Chilli Fish ($25), boneless whole barramundi deep fried and topped with chilli paste and coconut milk. So sinful! It’s not spicy at all, was expecting it to be quite spicy but it was quite delicious.

Right: Another view of the beach.

The bill came to a total of $166+ (inclusive of some beers for the guys) for 4 persons! -.-” GOSH! Almost got heart attack from it instead of getting heart attack from the blocked artery due to the rich, thick, creamy food ;p

The food was overall very good but the price… *GULP* a bit too expensive for me.

Posting this post just for the sake of posting because of the nice date.

I’ve been pretty busy over the weekend and this week need to complete my part for my group assignment and a presentation this coming Thursday. Will be busy with more assignments and presentations these few weeks. Exam in a month time. Time flies! It’s November now and 2011 is ending really really soon… Means I’m going to leave this place really really soon too. I’m more than half way tru’ my programme! GOSH! Next first quarter of the year will be my final study period and that’s it. Well… If luck is by my side, I might be able to stay till next year end but we will have to wait and see.

That’s all for now for today. Hope you guys have a great day ahead. My plan earlier today was to at least complete my part for my group assignment and start another assignment tomorrow. However, I didn’t get to complete it so have to continue tomorrow. At least I got more than 60% covered. That’s the wonder of group assignment, you just concentrate on your part ;p

Ta!

In A Biskit Big Cheese

Posted on October 30, 2011October 30, 2011 By sweet surrender No Comments on In A Biskit Big Cheese

WOW! It’s been days not updating. Supposed to be updating something but the weekend was quite crazy. It all started on Friday night and continued to Saturday. So many first times and seriously… I don’t know what I actually got myself into… Can’t believe what I did! -.-” October is coming to and end very soon! 2011 is ending. GOSH! Can time slow down? One more month and I’ll be finishing my final second study period. Time to head back to reality is getting closer 🙁

Anyway, back to the main topic. Previously I had In a Biskit Crispy Bacon, it wasn’t good.

This time I tried In A Biskit Big Cheese simply because it was on special for only AUD1 else I won’t bother buying.

It was good! I like this unlike the earlier one. Quite cheesy, very strong cheese flavour.

Will definitely buy it again when it’s on special ;p

Kao Japan Liese Bubble Hair Color Dark Chocolat

Posted on October 26, 2011October 26, 2011 By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Kao Japan Liese Bubble Hair Color Dark Chocolat

I bought Liese Bubble Hair Color Dark Chocolat after seeing Anna‘s post in Facebook ;p Thought of changing my hair colour but I can’t afford to get it done here, sooooo expensive! Also, I don’t want to spend my money in buying the hair coloring kit here even though it’s below AUD20 ;p

I decided to try this out by searching for it on Ebay and bought a box for USD16.49, well… More expensive than what I can get here as sometimes when it’s on special, you can get it at AUD10. Problem is, this brand is not available here. In case you’re wondering, it’s made in Japan.

The box consisted of:
Hair Color Agent 1 40ml
Hair Color Agent 2 60ml
Treatment lotion 4ml
Pump Head
Gloves

Anyway, finally I coloured my hair with it on Monday evening. Spent 2 hours in the bathroom for everything.

My first time coloring my own hair. It’s quite hard to do it in the beginning but once I managed to get the mixture covered my whole head and the bubble getting more, it’s quite easy. You don’t need to get help from others unlike the usual ones. It’s just like shampooing your hair so you can easily get everything covered without missing any part. After getting the whole bottle of mixture on my head with lots of bubble, I left it for 30 minutes and then wash it off. After that, I shampooed and used James Brown Intensive Mask for Hair for the treatment. Then, I applied the hair lotion included in the box before blowing my hair dry.

I bought Dark Chocolat reason because I’m afraid that bright colours might got me into trouble if I didn’t manage to colour it properly. Also, I didn’t want major change of colour, so I went for the safer colour hahaha… Not only that, when it grows out, at least it’s not that obvious since I won’t be cutting my hair maybe until I go back to M’sia ;p

The smell is pretty strong. It teared me when I did it in the beginning. Once I got used to it, it’s fine. However, at the end of the whole thing, my whole apartment smelt of the dye hahaha…

By the way, I did the allergy test(need to leave it for 48 hours) on Friday night and I didn’t pass the test. I applied the mixutre on my inner arm, not even 10 minutes, it itched like crazy and I quickly washed it off. According to the instructions, I should not proceed with colouring my hair yet I took the risk. I’m soooo stubborn! Luckily nothing happen, no itchiness or anything when I did the colouring. Hmmm… Don’t say I never warn you. If you decided to use this and had allergy reaction(s) to it, better don’t use it.

The final result, I quite like it. Not that obvious unless under bright light. The effect is just what I want to achieve. So… Camwhore!

It’s been a loooooong time not posting my photo hehehe… This is fresh out from the camera, was taken on 25th Oct before heading to class. As you can see, the colour isn’t that obvious but my hair is definitely not black anymore.

I do recommend this hair colouring kit but it doesn’t provide grey coverage. Not that I need that, I don’t need that. Just that in case you are looking for something to cover your grey hair, this is not the one you can use.

If not mistaken, you can easily find this in Malaysia. It should be cheaper than getting it online.

Will I use this again? I will but just hate the process because colouring your own hair can take quite long and quite tiring *LOL* I’m soooo lazy hehehe…

Haruhada Collagen Moisture Cleansing Water

Posted on October 24, 2011 By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Haruhada Collagen Moisture Cleansing Water

I did a skincare product shopping spree last month from Sasa because I’m running out of some skincare products and also want to try new products instead of buying it here. That way I can use my Paypal money and leave the cash I have here for food and entertainment.

One of the items I bought was Haruhada Collagen Moisture Cleansing Water:

Haruhada Collagen Moisture Cleansing Water contains soluble collagen and malva extract to effectively remove face and eye make-ups. It hydrates and nourishes. The easy-to-absorb product leaves skin totally moisturized after use.

It’s 500ml! Big bottle! Good! Made in Japan. Can last me for awhile. It’s priced at USD13.90. It’s considered quite reasonable for such big bottle with such price. Some more you can’t find this product here, even if you can, it’s gonna be more expensive. Skincare products here are expensive!

I’m glad I made the right decision to buy this. It really removes makeup effectively and it said that you don’t have to wash it off, just one step cleansing but being me… I will cleanse the second time with my normal facial cleanser during shower. It can remove waterproof mascara with no problem at all! YAY to that. Means I don’t have to get a separate makeup remover for my eyes. This is another reason why I got this because my Mandom Cleansing Express Eye Makeup Remover is running out soon as I’ve been using mascara almost daily here. Also, the word “collagen” attracted me hehehe… I need it!

It’s not oily at all if you are afraid of that. I hate oily makeup remover, not good for your eye area too. After cleansing, the skin felt fresh, not sticky too.

I do recommend this. If you are looking for something effective and not burning a hole in your pocket, you can consider trying this.

Girl Stuffs, Review It!
