Bucolic Cafe & Catering

Running out of idea for girls' night out / Family dinner place?
I have just visit this cafe in Setia Alam on boxing day and definitely love the food & environment.
Lots of parking space is available, so not to worry about it.
The Cafe environment is pretty comfortable, we went on boxing day so the music playing on that night is all classic christmas song.

Review : 

  • The food is delicious & satisfactory.
  • The service is good. Waiter/waitress will always be around, we order a pot of tea and can easily get our pot refill & request for extra cutlery. All local staff, no language barrier in explaining.
  • Great Ambience - Comfortable and clean dining environment. Excellent music choice too!
  • The price range is acceptable, which is almost similar to most of the cafe in Klang Valley.  No additional Service Charge & Government Tax. *Thumb up for that!
  • Plenty of parking space available! No hassle in looking for parking lot.

Great Day Starts With Healthy Breakfast

Breakfast is the first meal we have in our everyday life, we all know how important is this but how many people actually have a healthy breakfast to start their day? 

A healthy breakfast doesn't have to be something expensive but something our body required to maintain it's excellent performance.
For Malaysian, we are spoilt with variety of breakfast choices, u can have Malay style / Chinese style / Indian style / Mamak style / Western style.... The list just goes on... Some people prefer to have a sip of joe or tea to start their day, while others prefer juices.

Studies however shows that milk is the elixir our body need for breakfast.
Milk contain calcium to develop strong bones and teeth. It is also a key for locking in bone mass for adult. Not only that, there is also a range of essential nutrients present in milk.
After 8-12 hours from your last meal a glass of milk provides the nourishment your body needs in the morning to regulate itself.

We all know the benefit of milk, but how many people actually consume enough milk for calcium?

For working adult like myself, i don't have long hour in the morning to prepare those complicated/challenging breakfast. Most people will probably skip breakfast because they are late, or they simply don't have the practice of having breakfast but not for me. I will always have breakfast no matter how late/busy i am. If i happen to wake up early then i will take a little sweet time to enjoy my breakfast before heading out. If i'm in a rush i will just grab a milk/bread for breakfast. I've never skip breakfast because that makes me sick.

I recently participated in the Dutch Lady 7days milk challenge! I felt happy because milk is my favourite drink for breakfast. I usually consume milk 3-4 times a week (because i'm not in the growing stage, taking more milk will just make me grow horizontal)

Sweet delivery to my work place!

Have you check my instagram on my breakfast with Dutch Lady milk? 
#sarapandutchlady for more breakfast pair with Dutch Lady milk.
Here's my 7days breakfast pair with Dutch Lady milk.

#sarapandutchlady

How does having milk during breakfast beneficial?
#sarapandutchlady

Dutch Lady milk is

  • Rich with essential nutrients where some of which can't be generate by our own body.
  • Contains Protein which plays an important in growth and development.
  • Contains Vitamin A for healthy eye function.
  • Contains Vitamin B2 to supports cellular functions that transform food to energy.
  • ContainsVitamin D3 which aids absorption of calcium and phosphorus.


To make you breakfast with milk more interesting, u could prepare these recently popular breakfast style.

1. Overnight oat ( i have tried this and find this really yummy. My close friend love it too)
#sarapandutchlady

 2. Strawberry smoothies (smoothie is so popular now, just dump ur favourite fruit and milk into blender and voila! too bad, i don't have a blender with me.)
#sarapandutchlady
 3. Lavender honey milk tea

With just a little effort on breakfast, your day will never be the same again!

T-Box Sungai Lembing

Sungai Lembing is a famous little town in Kuantan District, Pahang. The old tin mining town in the late 19th century has lost it's popularity since mining activities stop in the late 80s. Younger generation have moved to cities in search of job, the town has lost it's glory.

Today, Sungai Lembing has risen as a popular local tourism spot. Most checked-in spot includes Bukit Panorama (Panorama Hill) for sun rise and the Rainbow Waterfall.

Recently (not very recent, about a month ago) my colleague and i spent a night at this old town. A weekend trip is enough to explore this place and recharge to fight Monday blue~

We have choosen T-Box homestay, a fairly new accommodation Sungai Lembing. (Huge construction project still on-going during our visit. More units to support the demand)

 T-box reception office. The first place to visit when u arrive.

Our comfort crib for the weekend, Wooden Cottage. (Air-conditioned room of course!)

A mini kitchen equipped with fridge, microwave, portable electric stove, few sets of kitchen ware.

 The Sofa Bed is right in front of the door. We have made a booking for 5 people, so the sofa bed has already been set up.
T-Box Sungai Lembing
Double Bed. There is a stairs towards the attic, there is a small space up there that could fit up to 2-3 people with small fans. But too bad there is no beautiful view from the attic window.
T-Box Sungai Lembing
Double Decker Bed. There is also a 3-level drawer next to the bed.

Water Dispenser and TV (with some Astro Channel). Don't have to worry about getting drinking water anymore.

The super huge Bathroom (i'm not kidding, the bathroom size is about one third of the whole cottage!) The Bathroom is clean and comfortable to use as well.
Overhead shower and Bath tub, shampoo and shower gel is provided. (if you are ok with any type)

The surrounding environment is pretty nice and quiet at night. Each cottage is near to each other but not connected, so we have all the fun we wanted in the room without any worries!
BBQ spot is also available if you are interested to have some fun with extra charges. (but we did not opt for that)

If you are interested with T-Box homestay, click here for more information
*type 'T-Box' and WAZE will bring u there!

Suisai Beauty Clear Powder by Kanebo

Suisai by Kanebo

Suisai by Kanebo

Suisai beauty clear powder contain enzyme which can remove keratin, blackheads and control the secretion of excess sebum.
The mild foam helps to :
  1. Remove sebum & dirt from skin.
  2. Brighten & smooth skin.
  3. Improve skin dull, rough pores & acne.
The powder is individually packed, contain no fragrance and suitable for all skin types.


Suisai by Kanebo

First, pour the powder on ur palm. I didn't pour the whole capsule at once, the picture below is only half a capsule. (I feel that half a capsule is quite sufficient for each wash)
Suisai by Kanebo

Next, add few drop of water and mix thoroughly. And now, it's a foam! (It's magic!) 
Suisai by Kanebo
Direction

  • First, pour the powder on ur palm. i didn't pour the whole capsule at once, the picture above is only half a capsule is quite sufficient for each wash)
  • Next, add few drop of water and mix thoroughly.
  • Use it as the usual foam facial, massage gently over your face.
  • Rinse off with lukewarm water.



My Point of View

  • It does reduce blackheads on my face.
  • The foam is mild and soft, but with exfoliate effect! *suitable for people with sensitive skin*
  • The effect is visible!
  • Relatively easy to carry around especially travel. (Individually packed). I can just simply grab 1-2 capsule and bring along for my vacation.
  • Will try for about 1-2 times a week as it's an exfoliate product, not recommended to use on daily basis. (There might be other version of usage instruction online.



This the picture of Before using Suisai Clear Powder and after the cleanse just after one use! *Please ignore my imperfect face*
I can see that my face is less oily and (lots of) impurities is removed with just one try!

Underground Fireball RM 19.08
One of the most talked desserts in town! 
After it melted, it taste a little similar to those chocolate with liquor filling. i'm not impressed though.






Review : 
  • The Food & drinks is fresh and delicious
  • Variety of food available & plenty of extraordinary menu. Brilliant foodie idea.
  • The service is moderate, the staff seems not so patience on serving us.  
  • Clean dining environment and well hidden. It's pretty hard to locate the place at first glance. The first picture is the exterior of the shop and you can't really tell that's the cafe.
  • The price range is acceptable, which is almost similar to most of the cafe in Klang Valley.  (Price shown is inclusive of GST and no extra service charges on total bill.)
