Cheelicious Bakery and Café at Pelangi

Whenever I have that urge for cheese cakes, Cheelicious in Pelangi always tends to pop in my mind. With a variety of cheese cakes to choose from. My favourite has always been their brulee cheese cake. Well, I do like me creme brulees~

But today, we not talking about their cakes but rather... their Tuna sandwich!

It was a usual day where I couldn't sit down for lunch... so I decided to pop over to take away some food.

So I order a tuna sandwich and a cuppa latte~ To my surprise, I've been craving and thinking of it since then.

My First Impression。。。
There was a lot of Mayo which i was kinda put off by it, but surprised when I realised that the Mayo did not overpower the sandwich but rather add more creaminess and texture. It was smooth~ I think they got a better quality Mayo~ unlike those cheapos we get from outside.




It was warm when I held it in my hands.
A small gesture but a big plus point for me.
To be able to consume a warm lunch is such a bliss.
They also added my favourite pickles...
So for those who are not fans....
let them know.
But the pickles were a great combination to add a bit to tang to balance out the creaminess~ Bread had great texture and chewy in a good way~ ^^

If there's anything I have to complain, it was be the portion. Found it a bit small.
Price is a bit high but I would definitely go back for more.

MyLiberica Coffee at Mount Austin

MyLiberica Coffee at Mount Austin...



We ordered
Hazelnut Latte               Rm 10
Mocha Extra                   Rm 12
Latte Extra                       Rm 11
Pomelo tea                      Rm 9
Ciabatta Tuna                 Rm 14
Tiramisu                           Rm 15.90
Earl Grey crepe cake      Rm 9.90

*They have a 10% service charge*

My Hazelnut Latte was fantastic as usual, but sadly the Latte and mocha wasn't as good as the last time I had it.

The Pomelo Tea is a great choice for anyone who doesn't like coffee. Highly recommended.

The Ciabatta Tuna was fantastic. Filled with the right amount of tuna and vegetables. Love the Ciabatta bread! It was good and fresh.

Tiramisu as usual was good. ;)

I tasted the Earl Grey crepe cake for the first time. Loved it cos I'm a fan of Earl grey! Not too sweet, nor over powering~

The environment was very comfortable with a great relaxing song list.

Service was fantastic. They were very patient and efficient. Water was served even before we ordered. They didn't rush or pressured us to order and waited afar while we browsed through their menu.

When I arrived, they didn't have any empty tables that would fit 5 people. I told them that I would have more friends coming over and that I'll be needing a bigger table. They sat the 2 of us in a smaller table. Later when my other friends arrived, the young waiter immediately came over (without me calling out to them) and moved us to a bigger table which they cleaned up immediately when the pervious patrons left. They had smiley faces, waited patiently for us to order and answered any questions asked.

You may ask why I was impressed. I think it's mainly because the people who served us were young adults who were polite.

Nowadays, it's kinda hard to find good service in jb. *wink*

Overall, wonderful place to have a cuppa and relax. Highly recommended!

Luxola Haul!! Finally here!!

You would not believe my luck!
After blogging about my "yet to arrive parcel" they actually came in the late afternoon.

So... here's my haul~~~
Just realized that my lip balm is missing... ==


Crazy Rumours lip balm in pink grapefruit

Made with love and the USA

Cruelty free and vegan



To be frank, I bought this mainly because it was grapefruit flavoured and the packaging. I was weirdly attracted to the brand name. Crazy Rumours~ hmm....


Sleek blush in vintage gold



So excited to get this!!! 

Sleek palette

 

So vibrant!!

Beauty blender for Charmaine and me~


Soap for hubby 

Sasquatch Soap Co.

Circa Home

The main focus of my purchase
Sigma Brushes



Free gift 
Shower cleanser Very tiny 

Overall it was a pleasant experience. I'm happy to receive my sigma brushes and the prices are cheap. My only disappointment was the free gift and shipping time. After watching and reading other people's review, I thought I will be able to receive them fast and they would send me some free samples that I could try and purchase them if they were good but apparent not all got tons of fantastic freebies. 

Again, I'll be back to get more Sigma Brushes... or real technique brushes... 
I'll be reviewing all of my purchase, so stay tune... I might have also made a purchase of the real technique brushes who came in stock... sooooo ^^
that's all folk~ Buai buai... Ciao....

Luxola

When Sephora in Komtar JBCC opened, I couldn't help meself but to dip my fingers into the honey pot and I got meself some awesome stuff. (That will be another post)

So now, I'm stuck with makeup but... no brushes. For a long time, I was staring at Sigma brushes after watching those fantastic youtubers raving about them nonstop. How it was good quality and not too expensive to burn a hole. (It's not expensive for them, cos it's in USD. Ringgit how to make it? Some more have to pay shipping... sigh...) Anyway... I was SUCKED IN... So now, the problem is, as all Johor peeps have... where to get them?

I started looking thru websites after websites.. Finally I found..... luxola.com (a Singapore based company) Immediately, I was sucked in. They had brands that weren't available in Johor like Korres, Sleek, Sigma, 3ce and etc... They also had free shipping over Rm40 (going crazy) and even a cash on delivery which was interesting. ( I chose this option which I regretted. I'm not home most of the time and had to make sure I kept some cash at home so that someone could pay when it arrives...)
They also gave me a coupon code for a 20% off after I registered at their website but my brilliant sister managed to get something better. She got a "don't know from where" 30% off coupon code online!!! Which was much better than the 20% they sent me. Therefore I bought more stuff... ;D (For those who are interested.  Type in Lucky30. Not sure if it still works, but no harm in giving it a try.)

So I finally order my stash on the 21st August and it is the 27th now... and it's not here. I was really planning to make a second purchase after receiving my goodies. After checking out their reviews online, I am pretty disappointed to not receive me stuff as people have been commenting on how fast their delivery is.... (I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE MINE!!!) Well, that the problem with staying in Johor... T.T
Welcome to Johor Bahru!!

But do pop back in to have a look at my Luxola Haul when it finally comes.
So long~~ Buai buai~~ Ciao~~~
