When you've been working like a dog and feeling super stressed, having a short vacation will make you feel damn happy and relieved! That's what I'm feeling, even though I'm back in JB now. So, I went to my hometown to Ipoh, Taiping & back to Ipoh and then to Penang. I have few check list of places i wanted to visit but I couldn't make it to some of the places. First day in Ipoh, we had breakfast at Canning Garden Hollywood Restaurant. It's a MUST to eat here at least once if you're in Ipoh. So i had Kuew tiaw goreng and the fried seafood balls ( idk what's their name) and also this super delicious white sesame seed Charkueh, and it's my favourite! Then later that evening, we went to Plan B at Jalan Panglima. I came here before, 2 years ago I guess. Back then, there were nothing special here. This place were dirty, people throw rubbish anywhere they want to, but now it has changed. I wanted to try ice ball which also know as Ais Kepal so bad but unfortunately it's already finished and the shop were closing. but lucky enough the shop owner give me a chance to try their aiskrim potong. My mom and aunt Tried aiskrim potong Nangka and i tried Aiskrim potong Kacang merah. I'm not really into kacang merah, be it ice cream or whatever. But this aiskrim potong tastes good and i like it. It was a frickin tiring first day in Ipoh I'm telling you. But then there's this aunty come to my grandma's house and she mentioned this one cafe called Burger Banjir to me and I really wanted to try it. Then my dad called, and asked us to get ready, he wanted to bring us to that cafe that aunty metioned ! well bak kata pepatah, Bagai orang mengantuk disorong kan bantal gitu hahaha Much to my surprise, This cafe is actually owned by my Parents' friend! And it's situated at Batu 8, the place where my dad used to bring me along with him when i was a kid! It's like unbelievable there's this kinda of cafe there! I had Full tank Lamb Chop which only cost me 17 bucks and in one plate I get extra Lamb, Fries, Coleslaw, Patty, baked beans & an egg. Now you tell me, where you can get a cheap lamb chop like this in JB? the answer is nowhere! And and that drink, i forgot what is the name, but it chocolate with oreo and whipped creams and it taste sooooo delish ! Then the next day we went to Taiping to attend my cousin's wedding. We spent 3 days there, with my relatives (just quarter of them). After My cousin's wedding, we went back to Ipoh. and later that night we went to Karat Cafe, which the owner of the cafe and i both following each other on Instagram but unfortunately we didn't get the chance to meet even though, he was there at the cafe. lol Anyways, The food there taste amazing and they're cheap too !! I had Salmon with Mediterranean rice. Tbh i'm not really into Salmon, but this meal make me changed my mind! On the next day, we made our way to Penang. The first stop is at Kuala Muda. and this was the first time i get to see sawah padi right before my eyes and stand near it ! sumpah macam orang jakun, macam monyet dapat bunga! I saw one makcik selling Kuih Pulut udang at the roadside so i decided to try it. When i get near the stall I straight away get hungry! Each of it cost only 60sen and it's big in size to compare to Pulut udang dekat tempat lain, which the taste memang ke laut. Pulut udang makcik ni, it taste soooooo delicious.In each of it ada Small Prawn. Ugh, i wish to have it now while writing! We took ferry from Butterworth to Georgetown. Swear I was hella excited sebab dah lama tak naik ferry. There's a time lapse video down below, but unfortunately it's not in high quality. Our next destination was Batu Feringghi, checked in to our hotel and we went to the well famed Batu Feringghi night market. For sure, i was looking for some food. So I had this coconut ice cream yang ala ala sangkaya and it taste good too. the perut ni lapar lagi, i bough one burger at this one food truck called nabilicios, they sell tasty burger at affordable price. I had the same burger for the next day dinner, haha on the next day, we woke up damn early. we planned to go to Penang Hill and we already made plan with some of my mom cousins. before we get to Penang Hill, we managed to stop at Miami Beach. Not the one in Miami, Penang pon ada miami beach jugak tauu ! Took some photos there. i love the view. You can check out the photos and video below. For our lunch, we had Nasi Kandar. It's like wajib untuk makan Nasi Kandar while you're in Penang. We went to Original Kayu nasi Kandar at Bukit Jambul. Sedap baqhang ! We spent our last evening in Penang by the beach, i was chilling and playing with my cousin and we watched sunset together. Well, that's basically it. Such a great days spent in Ipoh, Taiping and Penang.
I still wish that I'm not in JB but somewhere else. Rasa macam tak puas bercuti pulak! Next vacation soon, inshallah :)

I have this kinda oily skin and it's hard for me to find the right product for my skin. These 3 magical products are my current favourite & I can't live without them! Who doesn't know the power of Benefits POREfessional right? Its power to minimize pores and fine lines & keep our face to stay matte or not too oily and what makes it way amazing is that it can be applied after face moisturiser and to touch up over make up too! Just a thin layer of this badass balm primer and voila! You're just one step closer to a perfect looking skin! This Sephora Foundation is amaaaazing too! I've been using it for a month and i love it. it's oil free (that's very important), it stay put for 10 hours and it doesn't make me look like i put a cake on my face because it gives this natural & beautiful skin finish. Well, it basically because it has this second skin technology. I think it is for medium to high coverage, I don't have much to cover except for some of my pimple, pimple scars and dark under eyes. I have mine in 10 Clair light, it's available id many different shades from light to dark skin. Last but not least, it's the one and only Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing powder! I owned it since last December but I only make us of it for these 2 - 3 months. The reason is because I'm scared that i might look like I painted my face white and end up looking like Geisha! Hahaha well, I know it sounds crazy & silly at the same time Anyway, this Tarte Smooth operator helps my make up to stay and it also mattifies my skin. Even though it is white, it's perfectly perfect for every skin tone and it's not going to make your face look chalky nor look like a Geisha! I love, love & love this powder to the max and I'm going to buy the second one because it's going to finish soon. My job sometimes make me stay under sun for few hours for sports day and all, but these 3 magical products help to make me look better and it didn't get too oily. I seriously recommend them to the ladies who is having oily skin just like me. |
