The Saem Urban Eco Harakeke Toner - Honest Review

I have been using Urban Eco Harakeke Toner from The Saem for a month. I'm here to review bits of this toner.

Urban Eco Harakeke Toner

The bottle packing looks prefect and is so "urban" and it is very pretty for display on your vanity table.

Pretty Packaging

I purchase this toner with the anticipation that it will be a hydrating toner and that it will lock the moisture in my face. But it turns out to that is a bit dry for me and it also had a scent "green thingy scent" which I think is the scent of Harakeke (not really sure coz I did not really smell any Harakeke before), not a fragrance lover on face product. 

Ingredients 

From the box it stated that it contains pure moisturizing energy of the pristine New Zealand Harakeke. WOW we got NZ x KR here. But yet they had perfume in it! Which is a big no no to me!

What I love is that the Harakeke Toner texture is in the form of gel. I love gel products as it feels more soothing and easy to apply. But overall is turns out that is not a HG product for me.

Orchid and bonsai lover will love this event - "Kuala Lumpur Orchid and Bonsai Show 2015 (klobs2015)" It is held at Taman Tasik Perdana. 

A big park in middle of KL City. You can spend almost two hours by walking around the park by foot. They do provide shuttle bus around the park.

Private Cruise Charter from Telaga Harbour to Koh Lipe.

If you are sourcing how to get  Koh Lipe from Telaga Harbour you might find this post helpful fred not!

Weeks before flying off from KL (Kuala Lumpur) to LGK (Langkawi), what we do is that we book the ferry transfer which is normally available to be book online but who knows that the schedule of the ferry transfer time only available in the morning and we need the ferry transfer on the noon. 

OMG! We email several ferry operator and even call up the Telaga Harbour office but there was non of the ferry operator had any transfer in the noon time.

It was low peak season for Koh Lipe and the current are high during May, so I guess they limit the ferry transfer time. It was a major mistake back then to not notice this transfer time.

We found one sailing company that offer the transfer during noon with this we proceed going to Koh Lipe with private cruise charter which cost a fortune! But hey! is a once in a lifetime experience for us to experience sailing and we all agreed for this option. 

We contacted Blue Water Star Sailing and they respond us efficiently with the suggested vessel and price. We had 9 pax all together thus Gone Surfin' was the option available for the noon transfer and we secure the booking with 50% deposit. 

Their service was pretty good, Gred help us to prepare documentation for immigration before hand and Captain Toad even call us to make sure our arrival time,documentation and he even share the charter transfer information to us.  

With sailing the transfer time will take a longer duration compare to ferry thus Captain has to make sure we get to Koh Lipe before the sunsets and it is very dangerous for us as we all have no sailing experience before and we might get sea sick due to long sailing hours. 

For sailing the transfer took almost 4-5 hours to reach Koh Lipe and yes by ferry you will only take at least 1-1.5 hours max to reach! Is very time consuming but hey is sailing yo! How often you get to sail (positive vibes)? Sailing are very dependable on the wind so if we get more wind we sail faster.  

As the time comes we are just getting laid by the sun and had a good nap through out trip. 

But I was lucky enough! Captain Toad spotted a whale flipping his tail several times and I got to witness it with my bare eyes when others had already knock off in to their dreamland.

It was another OMG experience witnessing whale flipping tail twice is total worth the fees for this transfer. If only they flip their whole body then it will be a big bonus! (greedy).

So would you splurge on sailing?

You might get to witness a whale or dolphin!

Best Creme Brûlée in Hong Kong.

This is great! I get to try Paul Lafayet Creme Brûlée during my last trip to Hong Kong at K11 mall Tsim Sha Shui.

It cost HKD 45 and is worth the dollar! The texture is so smooth and the sugar coating crisp is just so right and is doesn't taste sweet. I love it so much it was really the best one that I ever tried and the vanilla taste is so rich.

Look i poke a hole in to the Creme brûlée. This was the original chef recommended creme brûlée, during my visit they had a special edition "Grand Marnier" creme brûlée which is sold at HKD 38 and is in a small size compare to the original.

They have plenty of selection for pastries and my tummy reserved a place only for Creme brûlée. Will try it next time!

 

Paul Lafayet is located at K11 Mall Ground Floor 23, 18 Hanoi Road TSim Sha Shui, Hong Kong.

What to eat in Queenstown? (10 Places to eat in Queenstown)

This is a post on what I had during my stay trip Queenstown. You can find 10 Places to eat in Queenstown in this post.

Check out my itinerary if you haven't, and some other foods to share as well. The town is really small so you won't get lost by searching the shop it is very easy to locate. The restaurants and bars are all gathered together

1. Fregburger

Well first of all I think every one who touch down in Queenstown on their first day they will have Fergburger as their first meal! Because is the first thing that come in mind! (
or izzit only me?)  Fergburger also know as the best burger in the world!!! Some how, I think is kinda overrated. Although I ate it twice LOL!

 Fregburger Restaurant

Inside Fregburger Restaurant

The crowd is there and we waited 15min for our burgers. Some claim it took 30-45min to get their burger we were lucky because it was not peak time!

Our fregburgers!

Is really huge!! Let's have a close up picture.

Chief Wiggum , The Fregburger

Mine Chief Wiggum which is pork belly and the original The Fregburger which consist of beef with blue cheese.

Chief Wiggum Fregburger

Chief Wiggum is really for pork belly freak! I cant even finish it. I also tried their "Little Lamby" (on the other day) and I prefer it over the Chief Wiggum, not a pork belly fan after all.

2. Fergbaker

They serve really good pie and all the pies are priced around $4- $6.50. I tried 3 of their pies; Chicken Bacon Mushroom, Vension& Portabello Mushroom and not forgetting le bf favourite pork belly pie. I must say I like their pies more than their burger. Opps no picture did not take it and there is no dine it too; we ate it immediately on our way home. It just located beside Fregbaker.

3. Flame Bar & Grill

I love this so much places! Is warm and cosy and the food is really nice do go there early because this place is full of people during dinner time.

Green lipped NZ Mussels , Chicken Wings at Flame Bar & Grill

My entrée; Green lipped NZ Mussels at $17.5 and Chicken Wing at $14. The chicken wing claim to be spicy be is just sweet and a little spice not spicy at all! The mussels is my favourite and the cream sauce is just so nice.

Green lipped NZ Mussels

Up close of my favourite Mussels;the cream is just perfect for spaghetti.

Flame Mixed Grill

The mains; Flame mixed grill which is a 1 person portion and is like a combo set where we have ribs and sirloin steak this is priced at $42. One word : GOOD!

Flame Bar and grill is located upstairs which is just right beside Movenpick ice cream shop.

4. Pj's Fish & Chips

I had their Battered fish & chips for $12 and also Bluff Oyster (the oyster is seasonal). Nice and cheap! Their price are cheaper than Fish Bone for bluff oyster.(
Din't get to try fish bone because we found another cheaper alternative too.) Le bf had Battered Sausage meal with curry sauce (please don't order the curry sauce is not nice taste like some packaging curry in my 
opinion)

Pj's Fish & Chips Bluff Oyster

Pj's Fish & Chips is just located opposite O'Connell, If you at The Station just cross to the opposite and head up.It is just right beside Kiwi Discovery shop.

5. Patagonia

This is a specialize chocolate shop and a sweet tooth person like me definitely will have this shop on my list! I got to try their hot chocolate is just nice and soothing for the cold weather One large cup cost $5 and is the price is just the same with their other branch in the Airport also they have one branch in Arrowtown.

Patagonia Hot Chocolate

Patagonia Ice Cream

Posing with my ice cream this is the dessert I had right after dinner at Flames. I order two scoops one in Patagonia dark chocolate & macadamia and the other flavour is Caramel. The dark chocolate is very rich in flavour.

6. Winnies Pizza

Winnies pizza is so good and is a right place to share among friends they have different types of pizza to choose from.

I got mine by mixing Tri Factor (Ultimate Beef pizza) & Pescara (The seafood pizza)

Winnies Pizza

Pescara is very juicy and you can taste the mussels (
sorry I'm obsess with it) and salmon is very fresh (
you feel like swimming in the ocean LOL). Le Bf tri factor is one of their best seller it consist the combination of prime steak cuts and bacon (
very beefy lol). We get to take away we can't finish the Large Pizza and that left over is our Supper and Lunch
sweet!

7. Brazz Restaurant & Bar

Mussels

Entry; Mussels $18.50 order the mussels again because I'm missing the Flames mussels and flames taste is richer but the Brazz portion is bigger.

200g STEAK & RIBS COMBO

Another combo which cost $42 and Brazz pork ribs is really nice but for combo portion flames is larger. Located opposite Pig & Whistle Pub.

8. Alpine Mart

There are few days we bought food from Alpine Mart and we cooked it at our Lodge. You can find great deals in Alpine Mart too. They will have some discounts on roasted chicken or sausages and even rice and more after 7.30pm and some cost only $3-4 which is a great deal.

Besides you can also find a great deal for bluff oysters!

Bluff Oyster from Alpine Mart

One box of this which only cost $14 is in a dozen! This is the cheapest bluff oyster I can get so far. And is very fresh too!

Bluff Oyster from Alpine Mart

To prove this is a close up bluff oyster look at the size! It taste very raw and I like it best with white wine.

9. The Fork And Tap Ale House Arrowtown.

This bar and restaurant is located at Arrowtown.

The Fork And Tap Ale House Arrowtown.

I tried their Blue Cod & fries I must said is the best! The blue cod is fresh and the battered is just right. It also comes with salad. The price is around $25.

Blue Cod & fries

10. A Taste of Gibbston Valley

Can't get to go Gibston Valley? Worry not they have cafe and tasting room in Arrowtown and the atmosphere is nice.

A Taste of Gibbston Valley

Get to tried this three wine at the wine tasting room. 3 wine tasting cost $5 and the staff is very friendly in sharing the wine info to us.

Riesling 2013 is one of my favourite! Is hard to purchase Riesling 2013 and the airport does not have it either and is much more cheaper to buy Gibston Wine in here.

Hope you find this helpful!
