Summer in Clinique Beach Party 2012 @ Sunway Lagoon Wave Pool

This year, Clinique decided to take things differently by having a beach party and a cover girl search. 2 in 1! Sounds fun? Participants stood a chance on being on the cover of CLEO and COSMOPOLITAN and also have fun in the sun! Auditions were held in the morning and the party starts in the afternoon!

Get yourself cooled down under the hot sun!

Sunblock is definitely a must! Combat from harmful UV rays and avoid getting sunburnt!

Clinique makeover booth. Decided to opt out from this since I was sweating and the hot weather didn't help. But those who did the makeover looked gorgeous!

 The opening performance was by ECX Dance Crew!

JJ & Ean on stage hosting the game session with the public. It was called the Avengers Catwalk. The guys posed like Hulk, Ironman and even Black Widow! keke..it was fun to watch :)

Awesome performances by beatboxer Shawn Lee! Enjoyed the songs performed by Dayang Nurfaizah as well. K Town Clan definitely put on the party mode and hyped up the crowd with their energetic performance of dubstep and LMFAO songs :D

With the pretty Xue Ren!

 Bump into my secondary school friend, Shiang Leit!

 There were also booths for us girls to get some funky hair wraps!

 How bout some airbrush tattoos?

 Getting my hair wrap done and also gotten the airbrush tattoo! I was hoping for the tattoo to be smaller but it was pretty big :O But still nice :)

Around 3pm they announched the winners of the Clinique Summer Girl Search!

 You'll get to see them on the covers of CLEO & COSMOPOLITAN :)

Cielo Dolci @ Paradigm Mall

 Those of you who have been to Paradigm Mall in PJ, you will definitely notice a quaint gelato shop at the Lower Ground Floor called Cielo Dolci.

It's cute decor and dreamy blue setting is definitely eye catching, not to mention welcoming. Gelato is an Italian ice cream and Cielo Dolci brings you 100% homemade desserts! According to their website, the owners fell in love with Italian desserts during their visit to Italy. They went back there just to learn the skill of making these wonderful desserts and bring back the authentic taste of Italian Dolce Freddo (Italian frozen desserts) to Malaysia. Cielo Dolci is of course 100% Malaysian owned :D

I've been to Cielo Dolci twice and I'm really impressed with their gelato. The owner, Ms. Ang is really friendly as well. They are generous in giving testers and always welcome feedbacks from their customers.

Cielo Dolci's menu.

 It's definitely worth my money getting those yummy desserts. Smooth and heavenly, you can't resist it and always left with wanting more! Maybe next time I shall take away one tub! ;P

Selection of their gelato and sorbetto. 

They have their standard flavours and also come up with new flavours when they can :D 

Check out their range of flavours!

I got to try out one of their new flavours last week which was Chocolate + Chili Padi!

It was weird hearing such flavour for the first time, but worth a try. After tasting the sweetness of the chocolate, the spicy tingling sensation slowly creeps up to your taste buds. Surprisingly both flavours blends well. It might not be everyone's favourite, but you can try :D

 How can you not fall in love with this place?

My small cup of gelato.

Took the durian and green tea + red bean flavour.

I really LOVE their durian gelato. 

Hopefully they can expand soon to more locations so that I can get my daily weekly dose of Cielo Dolci ^^

Cielo Dolci is located at:

Paradigm Mall, Level LG-Lot 50,

1, Jalan SS7/26A, Kelana Jaya,

47301 Petaling Jaya.

Food of the Day #5 @ Uncle Jang Korean Restaurant

 Compared to the Korean BBQ Restaurants here in Malaysia. Uncle Jang serves a different dish called Dak Galbi. Dak Galbi is a dish consisting of marinated chicken, chili pepper paste, cabbage, sweet potato, scallions, onions and rice cake that is stir-fried.

My friends have been talking about this place for some time and I finally went to the Puchong branch to try it. They have branches at Mont Kiara, Ampang and Bukit Indah (JB) as well.

 The hot plate is  placed in the middle of the table while the waiter will stir-fry it for you until it's cooked :)
Ramen is included in the dish. However you'll have to order a minimum of 2 portion, either spicy or non spicy. Took the non spicy one since my grandma can't eat spicy. They also provide lettuce for you to wrap it with the dak galbi.

2 portion is just right for 4 person or depending on how much you eat. If you feel it's not enough, you can ask them to add additional rice or ramen. Additional stuff will be charged of course.

Try it if you're looking for something different from the usual Korean BBQ. But beware because of the ventilation, your clothes and hair will smell like Dak Galbi at the end of the day. They don't have an air vent to suck up the fumes.

Another thing I would recommend is the Korean Makgeolli (rice wine). The drink is sweet and has a smooth & milky texture. Compared to Korean Soju, I prefer Makgeolli :)

Uncle Jang Dak Galbi Korean Restaurant is located at:
1-1, Jalan Puteri 1/7, Bandar Puteri,
47100 Puchong.
