With the gentle breeze on my face, Mr.Ang held my hands as we walk down little Paris street. The exterior design of the building are white in colour. The familiar spiral staircase leads you to the unknown second-floor cafe. White and sleek design captured my woman inner feeling. Wait a minute.. I can’t take leave and fly to Paris and enjoy all this detail.

Welcome to Little Paris @ Johor Bahru. A new hipster  area for family, friends or Instagrammers to hang out. Ladies love to do their  outfit post of the day (#OOTD) against this area.  Not to mention, there are  a big love shape sculpture and the status of liberty  are good prop to take photos. Along the street, there are a few cafes, restaurants and ice cream shop to curb your hunger. It is great to get to know Mr. Ken, the owner of this street developed this area for hanging out. He invited some bloggers and us to try out his new menu in Garden Ritz.

Garden Ritz is located outdoor. Diners enjoy their meals at tables set out al-fresco style. There are a number of shady trees along it. Thus, the temperature and breeze are most favourable. Time to tuck in for some BBQ food.

BBQ Baby pork Rib RM45.00. The chef maintained the Argentina BBQ style for these rib. The chef used 100% charcoal to cook it. If you have tasted Morganfield's or Naught Nuri pork rib before, Do not expect the same taste. Argentina BBQ is totally opposite cooking style. No additional cooking processses shuch as steam or boil to retain the juicyness. The BBQ style itself retained the meat tender texture and juiciness. We can easily tear off the meat from the bone.

Bika Snack for Your Family’s Health

18 June 2016

Have you attended wellness guru, Mr. Wong Yu Jin‘s lesson before? In his class, he mentioned that power snacks are a much better food to curb our hunger. I will usually grab some food during tea break time. After attended his lesson, I try my best to find some healthy power snacks to keep in my office. Nuts and dried fruits are relatively expensive. I usually only buy nuts and dried fruits during sale period. Then, what should I consume for tea break?

BikaMilkBiscuit_019

Bika Food Sdn Bhd, the nation’s favourite snacks food producer announced the launch of the new products.

  • Bika Little Bear Chocolate Biscuit 100g = RM1.80
  • Bika Milk Biscuit 66g = RM1.00
  • Bika Milk Biscuit with vitamins and minerals enriched 75g = RM1.00

During the media launch, the host, Ms. Eryn Wong explained the difference between junk food and snack. Junk food normally refers to food that is high in calories and low in nutrients. According to James Clear, Behavioral Psychologist, junk food is the one of the causes of heart problems, high blood pressure, a host of other health ailments and increase in depression. Bika wants to be different and contribute some changes in our healthy habits. Therefore, 3 new products are introduced as snacks.

Snack is a small amount of food eaten between meals ~ Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Snack does not pose any immediate health concerns and is generally see when integrated into a well-balanced diet.Further more, Bika packed the snack into the right serving portion. One air tight package is enough as a snack portion. I don’t have to find a container to keep it.

 


Pearly Chan tried out the biscuits in her office too. She mentioned to me that the biscuits is still fresh even keep in normal plastic container. She can usually the biscuit at anytime and anywhere convenience.

The first media launch combines with Raya Fashion Show from Chic Pavo Boutique.

Hari Raya Wishlist with Lazada Malaysia

YUSUF TAIYOOB…..Yusuf Taiyoob. A gentle voice was heard when I was driving down the road. I smiled gently.  Yes, the similar voice around Ramadhan holy month is here again. For non-Muslim like me, I respect my Muslimah friends faith. Actually, I quite enjoy Ramadhan month. I can go search for new street food at Ramadhan bazaar. I can have breakfast with my friend at different Ramadhan buffet. Thus, it is a time for me to share some gift  ideas for my beloved Muslimah friends.

 

#1  Yusuf Taiyoob Kurma

How can I miss this high fiber food? Kurmar date is considered one of the good date. I will give this date to Nina. Nina is currently pregnant. She need it for her baby and her good health.

 

#2 Tupperware Lunch Boxes 2 Tiles

Johor will implement no plastic in year 2017. It is a very good initiative to promote green environment.  Why not start this habit as soon as possible. As Elya, my university friend, work in a remote industrial area, I hope she can use this Tupperware to pack her food.

#3 Allwin Coffee Flask

Norlin worked as a lecturer. I often see her coughing after class. To add on, the weather is getting quite hot. It will be good to drink warm water after class. Thus, this flask is very suitable for her.

 

#4 Pineng Power Bank

I need to get a gift myself too. I misplaced my powerbank last month. This Raya festival, I will need a power bank. I can keep posting intagram photos when I visited rumah terbuka (open house).

 

The expenses of 4 items are less than RM300.00. The most important point is the gift sincerity. No money can buy the friendships I have with my friends.  A small gift to brighten up their festival mood will be a great idea.
