Food Review : Chicago Rib House in 1 Utama

Just few days before Christmas, I was invited by the friendly people at Chicago Rib House to do a food review. And after I check out the website link in the invitation email sent to me, I can't wait to try this because it is all about porkyyyy = my favourite food in the whole wide world!!

Note : This is a non-halal post

To be honest, I did not know the existence of Chicago Rib House until I went there for the review because they just opened their 2nd branch here in 1 Utama late November (shows how long I havent been to 1 Utama) . I was told the first branch is at Penang.

As you can see from the picture and if you guess well , the restaurant is located just next to La Senza Pin-Up Store at 1st floor of 1 Utama (Rainforest section)

As I walked in the restaurant, I can see a lot of cute piggy pics on the walls! Confirm lah... a lot of porky will be served tonight!

It's a cosy yet spacious seating at this restaurant.

I like the wording at the wall - Grilld to PORK-fection!

There is a Mojito Bar at the corner of the restaurant.

Here is some drinks we ordered - fresh from the Mojito Bars!

One of it is Lychee Mojito and another one I could not remembered what is it now.



I am a milkshake person and I think I'm the only person who thinks Strawberry Milkshake is better than Mojito :P The milkshake here was not too sweet so I really like it and finish this sinful drink that night!

Before I started having my porky review, I was asked to put on the plastic napkins #likeababy

I like this napkins because I could now rib of the pork like nobody business ! As far I remembered, no restaurant in Msia I been to so far gave napkins like this & the first time I had plastic napkins like this when I was in Korea having bbq dinner.

As starter, Trio Sampler (RM32.90) was served.

Three's a company when you've got Hot Buffalo Wings, Potato Skins and Pork Chili Con Carne. It's matched with homemade Salsa dressing to really get you started.

The chicken wings is a bit salty to my liking but the spicyness makes it appetizing!


Corn chips & Pork Chili Con Carne . Onion, pepper & cheese and corn chips are the perfect match!

This potato skin covered with cheese, then topped in chives, bacon bits and served in ranch serving combination is so yummylicious. Crunchy & cheesy...

Next we are served Pork Ribs (Full Rack, Original Flavor) with 2 side dishes RM53.90

Description: Chicago's Pork Ribs are slow roasted in hickory wood to give it that tender and unique flavor that has made us world famous. Our succelent and meaty pork ribs are served with your choice of two sides of your choice.

If you like BBQ sauce then I think you will like this. But for me it is a bit sweet for my liking.

Next, we are served Pork Ribs (Full Rack, Flaming Kansas City) RM59.90 with 2 side dishes

As the named suggested, the pork ribs is was fired up with a shot of whiskey to literally let us have the ommph feel!

Below are some interesting pictures I took while the pork ribs on fire!

Pour a shot of whisky all over the pork ribs!

Staff light up the fire and the whole ribs was on FIRE!!!

It was smoking hot when it was served on us. The taste of the ribs is pretty strong with the marinated sauce and whisky. And if you are not a fan of whisky, you might prefer the original flavour.

Grilled Bourbon Chicken - RM27.90

Next we are served two grilled boneless chicken breast topped with their signature bourbon sauce and sprinkled with mixed cheese. The cheese is sinful but it is good!

The side dishes of this Grilled Bourbon Chicken can be choosen, and here the highlight of the side dish is the "western style chicken rice" as some of them claimed.

8oz. Pork Tenderloin - RM32.90

Two grilled pork tenderloin grilled till pork-fection and served with homemade Apple Cinnamon sauce.

Homemade Apple Cinnamon sauce is very refreshing taste and appetizing for my appetite. I like the way how they prepared this as I could actually taste the sweetness of the pork here :)

And I bet kids sure would love this too!

Hickory BBQ Bacon Burger - RM29.90

Description : A juicy pork burger loaded with Hickory BBQ sauce, topped with crispy bacon and cheese.

Well I must say the bacon here are so good that I can't get enough of it. It is not too fat and grilled to perfection!

A must try for all!

Besides pork , they actually served Shrimp Olio (RM32.90) for seafood lovers.

It is Fettuccine tossed with generous servings of shrimp in scampi butter. The taste of the olio is a bit tingly due to their sauce however I do appreciate the fact that they are very generous with the shrimps and the portion is big.

Finally after all the porky business, we have dessert!!!

Brownie Royale (RM12.90) was really delicious, it just feel right for me!

Caught Ah Bok aka Taufulou busy taking pictures of the food ! Haha looked at his expression, priceless!

While me, well I enjoy eating the ribs with my hands feel more delicious everytime i am ripping of the ribs!


Just before I end my review, I must show you one very interesting picture that is displayed in the restaurant. The different parts a pig that we could actually eat - but there are many parts that I don't eat.


Chicago Rib House is currently running a Christmas & New Year promotion and this would be the best time for you to try out as for RM55.90 you can choose youra main course, dessert and a mocktail!

Merry Christmas everyone, love you all ya !!!

Super awesome Shiseido Makeup Stimulator - trying makeup without needing to put them on!

A while ago, I visited Shiseido roadshow in KLCC as I was told by the PR that there will be a makeup Simulator machine that is flown all the way from Japan to be here in Malaysia for just a few days. And I gotta blog about this because this is something really awesome that I tried !!

Keep reading to find out.....

Well first of all, there is quite a queue to try this makeup stimulator machine , so lucky for me PR has made an appointment for me to try out this machine. I was extremly curious what is this machine is all about.



I was asked to sit on the chair facing this monitor which is so called Makeup stimulator. I was strictly told that I shall not move my head around in order for it to work properly.



Basically Makeup Simulator machine will automatically detect and identify my facial features and capture using it's camera.

Once the image is captured on the screen, the I can then select what colour or texture I want from the variety of shades ....from foundation, eyeshadow, blusher, lipstick to lipgloss. All is up to my liking, so I mix and match...and I really wanted to see if smokey eyes can carry red lipstick on my face...

After I picked my colours the makeup stimulator machine will then lay the chosen colour accordingly on the my facial features.

I literally WOW a moment when I saw my face on the monitor has colours of the eyeshadow, blusher and lipstick I chose. Everything looked so real on the monitor, it is unbeliveable!

This machine is so damn because I could actually try ANY colors and textures (all shades) to find my perfect match without having to waste time applying on actual skin to try one by one! I can always click the "BACK" key to try another colours!

Well, this is my final look!

As you can see I'm quite crazy about red lipstick nowadays but finding the right red colour to match my skintone and eye makeup are not easy, so this makeup stimulator machine is really helpful!

How I wish all beauty brands will have this machine like this ! I think Shiseido should place this machine at their counter permanently and these testers at counters would not be needed anymore!

Review : Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Coral Beige from Laneige Holiday Styling Romantic 2011 collection!

Laneige Styling Lip Duo (#LR04) in Coral Beige is one of my favourite product from Laneige Holiday Styling Romantic 2011 collection! Not only the packaging looks pretty but the colours looked really pretty on me.

This Styling Lip Duo has a twist-up lipstick at one end and a gloss on the other end.

Swatch of Laneige Styling Lip Duo in Coral Beige

From Right to Left - lipstick , lipgloss and lipstick+lipgloss

I was happy to be given this colour to do review instead of the

The Lipstick texture is smooth, pigmented and easy to apply. It has this nice peachy smell!

This Lipstick can be used alone without the gloss and still looked great for day look. The colours are beautiful and best of all not drying on my lips!

The Lipgloss suprisingly is not sticky and light! This also have the super yummy peachy scent that you feel like eating them.

For night looked, usually I will touch up my makeup (put darker colour to create smokey look) and would add on the lipgloss to complete me look.

Me *hearts* Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Coral Beige and in fact I have been carrying this in my handbag since I got this !

I must say this Laneige Lip Styling Duo in Coral Beige is a must get item for this Christmas, whether for yourself or for a friend because colour is beautiful and so simply to use. Laneige Lip Styling Duo is priced at RM65 is one of the must collected limited edtion item for this Christmas!

Sneak preview of Laneige Holiday Styling Romantic 2011 Collection

t's just another 2 days before Christmas, well this year around I will be celebrating my Christmas with Laneige Holiday Styling Romantic 2011 collection!

Am using Samsung MV800 soft focus effect to create romantic effect~ so love in with this camera!

Laneige being a Korean brand, still stick with very pastel colour for it's collection.



Before I leave, this is a sneak preview of my Christmas look for this year using Laneige Holiday Styling Romantic 2011 collection!


Do you like my look ? What do you think? If you like it then you should really check out my upcoming posts as I will have reviews on each individual products!


Which is the product that you want to see my review, any favourite ?

Finally Melvita a brand from France is in Malaysia, an Ecocert certified organic skincare brand!

Have you heard of Melvita before ? Well they are pretty new in Malaysia! Melvita officially opened its first flagship boutique in Suria KLCC back in 25 October 2011.

Well basically you cannot help not to notice the green striking entrance next to the Isetan entrance at Concourse level. If you have notice, they have blue sky ceiling in their store to give consumers a comfortable and relaxing shopping environment.

And at the corner of the left hand side of the store, you will see a wall of green plants and bear in mind these are REAL plants and in fact some of these plants are the main ingredients of the products!!! I think this is my first time seeing real plants being planted inside shopping mall and now I bet Melvita definitely has the freshest air among the store in KLCC!

Well Melvita is a brand from France was founded in 1983, symbolizes “(MEL) honey” and “(VITA) life”. Melvita's commitment to ecology and nature originates from its founder, Bernard Chevilliat, a biologist and beekeeper and a great lover of nature and beauty.



In 1991, Melvita is one of the first skincare brands in France to be certified by ECOCERT France, and fulfill the standards of COSMEBIO France (Professional Association for Ecological and Organic Cosmetics).



Melvita also guarantees each of their products are formulated with:-
NO Paraffin or Silicone
NO PEG (polyethykebe gkycol) or PPG (polypropylene gylcol)
NO ethoylated ingredients
NO parabens or pheneoyethanol
NO formaldehyde or chlorine
NO Synthetic fragrance or colors
NO diethyl phtalate or nitromusk


Plant extracts and natural oils are quite common for organic skincare and this is the first time I came to know about floral waters. Melvita offers floral waters since they started their business.



Floral waters are obtained by distillation are the most subtle, gentle expressions of plants. The water is in some way energised and contains the soul of the flowers.



The different types of floral waters and usage

Cornflower (calm irritated skin and dry, itchy eyes)
Orange Blossom (For blotchy & irritated skin- smoothing, soothing & brightening effect )
Witch Hazel (Extra Dry & Sensitive Skin -moisturizing & an ideal product after sun exposure)
Lavender (Normal To Combination Skin - purifying and healing effect)

A wide range of products for face care. The price is quite affordable considering it is an organic products!

There are also product for Baby & Mum

The best sellers are locaed at the bees hive look-alike display. And of course they have body products too!

Honey Pollen Hexagon Soap (RM22) is their first produced product for sale. It is enrichedwith active ingredients from the hive and vegetable oils, its rich and extra-gentle foam makes it an ultra-protective care product.

Beauty oils which are extracted using cold pressed method from the fruits or seeds of plants is something I wanted to try. I was always told, beauty oil gave better effect than cream or lotion. And in Melvita, beauty oil is priced at RM137 for 50ml which is quite an affordable price as the quantity needed to appy whole face is relatively little.

First time I came across organic toothpaste for childen! How interesting ? Maybe I will buy this to try when my toothpaste is finished!

Some of the products which I wanted to try!

They actually have a wide range of scrubs and if you know me personally, I'm a scrub fanatic !!! Well I think I will check the scrub out someday and give a try!

Another interesting thing that I spotted is that Melvita has slimming oil (RM120/100ml).... I wonder whether it works and should I should give a try!

Their haircare shampoos smell great here! And I was told by their SA that the deodarant is good and I should give a try...



If you have no idea what to try, why not get this starter kit which consists of 6 products to try at RM130. Quite a good deal with a full set of products to try to see if it works on our face without buying the full size.

Oh before I forgot, Melvita is going to launch a new youthful range called Naturalift Hibiscus Skin Renewal Range in January 2012, which is suppose to make your skincell renew and looked youthful (in another word - prevent anti-aging). Basically Melvita is offering “Green-Botox” organic natural anti-aging solution. The main ingredients in NATURALIFT Hibiscus Skin Renewal Range include various flower seeds with anti-aging functions, including hibiscus, pomegranate, rose hip, borage, Camelina, etc. Well I would be trying some of their products and will do a review once it's ready!

Well have you guys try any products from Melvita, if you did ... share with me here what have you tried or plan to try!

And more recently, Melvita has opened another store in 1Utama and now do I hear some cheer from the PJ folks?

Guest Review : Garnier Men Acno Fight

Sometimes I have been given men products for review, so this time around Shiiteck was my guest reviewer for this product. This is his first time doing skincare product review. Let's see what he says after been using it for a while.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently my face full of pimples due to lack sleep and unhealthy food I've taken everyday. Self esteem to minimum! Then I found out the new product "Garnier Men Acno Fight" in the market and I give a try on my problem face skin. See photo below,

It is Anti-Acne roll on type and very simple and easy to apply on the face. Apply directly onto and around imperfections and blemishes as soon as they appear and I can see the the difference after 1 week, the redness is reduced. I quite like this product as in the price is affordable below RM 20 and the effect is good.

This product can be used every single day and for me, I use it twice a day, morning after wash up and before off to bed. 15ml pack is perfect to bring along and no more worries.
