Orange Saloon

I am sure by now most of you are aware of websites that offer fabulous discounts on restaurants, saloons, and other shops suchs as dealmates and milkAdeal. I purchase the above deal recently.

RM58 instead of RM218 for a haircut by a professional creative stylist + moisturizing treatmen using Alfaparf Milano products + wash + blow at Orange Salon.

The location of the Salon is at Southgate Commercial Centre. The location is quite convenient if you dont mind the jem! and parking is free too.

The saloon has a very classy design altho I cant find anything that is in 'orange' color.

The staircase behind me lead to a manicure and padicure area. nice huh?

The PC is located at every booth. I dont know if it is meant for customer to used because I was not offered to use it.

Altho the deco of the saloon is nice, the services are nothing to shout about. The so called "professional creative stylist" that was assigned to me was nothing near creative nor professional. He did not recommend anything and just follow whatever I asked him to do. And my hair was shampoo and washed at the basin. By right, normally your hair will be shampoo at the booth first and later wash at the basin. And normally the hair wash that I get from other saloon will take about 15 - 20 mins (they will put shampoo on your hair twice), but here, it only took 10mins with only one wash. Dah la rambut saya tebal, rasa tak bersih and tak puas :(

The hair cut pun macam orang baru belajar potong rambut. how can they call themself professional creative stylist? and the moisturizing treatment pun ala-kadar je..

Rasa macam serik pulak discounted deals. Service yang dapat pun "discounted" jugak.

Probably some of you out there have different experince?

mother/ baby room

Dulu, before ada baby, I never bother to take note of mother's/ baby's room in shopping mall. Now, when I have one, baru la kelam-kabut cari/ tanye mana baby's room. As of today, I've been to 3 baby's room. One in Jaya Jusco, Bukit Tinggi, another in I-Setan, KLCC and Alamanda. I managed to take photos of the one in Bukit Tinggi (because I was impressed with the design, layout and facilities. The one in I-Setan is really nice too, tapi tak sempat amik gambar. But the one in Alamanda really sucks. Dah la all wet and slippery.

The entrance to the Baby Room. Very fancy and inviting. Located at the baby/ children floor (Level 2)

The Changing Tables. Nice and clean (that is my baby's stroller btw :D)

Other facilities include hot water and RO water dispenser

Spring's Leaf Cafe

When we were in Alor Setar, Kedah a few weeks back, hubby and I decided to take sometime off and leave our baby with hubby's family. We went out to the mall and bought DVD's and on our way back hubby suggested for us to have drinks at Old Town White Coffee (because we are a sucker for its White Milk Tea). On our way there, my attention was caught by a cafe named Spring's Leaf Cafe.


Hubby hesitated at first, takut tak halal (He is very fussy when it comes to food),but we saw a few Malays in the cafe so he was ok :)

The cafe is has a very nice setting, with nice furnitures.



Surprisingly the food & drinks (that we ordered) is very delicious and very affordable too! For the price that they tag to the food, I would expect something simple. But turns out the food presentation as well as taste were not disappointing.

mocha @ RM5.90

Cappucino @ RM5.90

Bruchetta @ RM5.90 (Sgt sedap ok!)

Mexicano Fries @ RM5.90 (at first rasa mcm byk for 2 people to eat, but we manage to finish it in less then 10 mins! sedappppp...)


total bill is RM23.60 , and we are happy customers :) siapa yang ada kat kedah tu, apart from makan laksa kedah and nasi lemak royale, boleh la try cafe ni untuk lepak2, catch up with friends

Tropicana Twister Lychee

I used to crave for lychee drinks during the final trimester of my pregnancy. I drink it everday and sometimes 2 to 3 times a day! cant get enough of it. Sampai mamak kat rumah tu dah tau, tak payah order. Nampak je muka aku, terus bungkus air laici. Siap dapat extra buah :) kesian tgk aku pregnant kot.. rezeki baby

Anyway, recently (duirng fasting month), Tropicana Twister launched a new flavour to its range. What flavor? yes, your are right... Lychee! OMG!!! keluar je iklan, the next day suruh hubby beli. OMG lagi skali... SANGAT SEDAP ok! ever since, I am hooked. dalam masa less then a month, rasanye nak dekat 10 botol dah kitorang beli.. hmmm... (90% of it, yours truly la yang minum).

Worth to try. I am not a fan of lychee drinks that they sell in the box tu (Air kotak laici). Tapi yang ni memang sedap. Tak rasa fake (they claimed it was made with real fruit.. hmm) and tak manis sgt. Put it in fridge to chill... wah... mmg best. tak tau la kalau letak ais sedap ke tak, coz saya tgh pantang ais.. tapi minum chill pun layan... cubalah! hehehe

Other then lychee, ada jugak orange (hubby's favorite), apple and blackcurrent (I read somewhere, blackcurrent is not a success for Tropicana Twister)
