Food Adventure at Bukit Bintang: Feeka Coffee Roasters, Vivo Pizza & An Arabic Cuisine Restaurant

My first destination, Feeka Coffee Roasters! I have not been to this cafe in a year or so. It's just less than 10 minutes walking distance from Bukit Bintang monorail station, right behind Jalan Alor and Chiangkat. Got there for morning coffee and to takeaway cakes for my friends' mini birthday celebrations.

Our meetup point is at Berjaya Times Square's Vivo Pizza. Initially, I suggested Kikuzakura but only found out it was closed... That was my favorite Japanese restaurant, they're now moved to Mid Valley. Vivo Pizza was a random restaurant we decided on because we were hungry hahahah. Turned out they serve really amazing pizzas! 

We ordered Smoked Salmon pizza and All Around the World, both about RM75 for 11 inches pizzas. Both are amazing but salmon lovers, you'd totally love the former!!

We sang a happy birthday and dug into the cakes (Salted caramel nuts and Japanese cheese cake slices) while waiting for our food to arrive LOL

After stuffing ourselves, we chatted and took plenty of instax (with the help of Vivo Pizza's amazing staffs)! These are some of them, now sitting in my ever growing collection. Ok, I have about 30 now, that's 3 cartridges in just over two months (>v<)

After two of them left, it was Ben and I who took our time exploring the newly renovated Isetan, window-shopping then checking out Chiangkat & Jalan Alor before deciding on a place to have dinner. I even showed him where I got my coffee and cake hahahaha. There are just so, so many restaurants and cafes we have yet to explored, yet we have so little chances and tummy capacity wth to try them all!

Break at ChaTime!

We chose Arabic between Vietnamese, Chinese, Thailand and Arabic, so many choices! 

Had super filling meal! We ordered fatoush salad (RM8) which is hands down, the yummiest appetizer ever (so's all Arabic/Pakistani-style salads) and  mixed grilled meat platter (RM36) that comes with naans, so yummy, I would SUPER RECOMMEND this place!! 

Unfortunately, I don't remember the place name (or how to read the logo).....

At Isetan, we found tons of interesting imported Japanese crafts, fashion and even a humongous coloring board. You bet we demonstrated our creativity and 'helped' color.

Part 2: The SK-II Verdict

Finally blogging about my SK-II experience. The last time I wrote about this product was back in June 2016 and I bought the beginner's set which consists of a mini bottle of toner, a medium-size bottle of Pitera essence and a mask which price at RM199. During the two month period, I noticed positive results from my then beauty routine, my skin texture better and much more smoother. But it took me another 5 months to decide on getting the full size ones because of the price and because I personally have tons of beauty products LOL!

Last December, SK-II were having this festive collection consisting of the full-size Pitera essense and free full-size toner,which was super worth it I decided to grab one. The SK-II sales person sorta gave me a lecture for not using SK-II consistently. Well, I'm not that rich yet.

Of course I even took the chance to get my skin tested :) The result were better than my previous one so much that the sales person asked me what's my regime like. If I remembered correctly it's Innisfree's cleansers, ZA's toners, Naruko's cream and Innisfree's Olive lotion.

Today's post is also to answer several Qs as well as to share my observation from using SK-II.


What are the results from using SK-II?
Better skin texture and skin more tout :) Doesn't do much to my pores or perhaps it takes a little bit more using to notice further difference.


Is SK-II really effective?
You will notice the SK-II sales people have great skin, and most people who use them for a long have equally dewy-ish skin. Even my friends!

Any negative effects?
It dries the skin on my hand because I usually apply the Pitera Essence with my palms. It did not dry my face though, but I have combination skin.

Also, using SK-II must be a regular one because the result is not permanent, HOWEVER, I can't be too sure because the first time with the beginner set, I only used it for two months and the test result was different too.


Can anyone use SK-II?
Maybe not. I have seen negative reviews online but I believe this is solely because everyone has different types of skin to begin with.

If you have read my first SK-II review, you will remember I mentioned this too. My friends have observed that SK-II seems to be more suited for people with bad skin while those who have naturally flawless skin seems to have bad reaction towards it LOL. This is just from our observation, you don't have to take my words. After all, you won't know until you try.


How long before you notice the difference SK-II made to your skin?
A week or so. Again, it differs with different people.


Is SK-II really worth it?
Pricey but yes! If you still can't afford it (I can't afford them always), wait for the next festive sales. I am estimating the large size ones can last you seven months or so :)


Can men use SK-II?
Yes! Go check out the Men's Collection!


Do you need to use SK-II continuously to maintain the results?
Unfortunately, yes. SK-II is quite an 'investment' but who can deny their almost flawless result?

Is SK-II for everyone?
Ok, so there is a legend that goes, if you have originally flawless skin (I'm envious!) SK-II will cause negative results like a breakout or something. This is very true to some. Here's my theory behind this so-called legend: SK-II is drying. Which is great for those with oily/combination because it makes your skin less oily. What happens if you have dry skin and use SK-II? Probably not the greatest idea. 

Just a post-disclaimer: I personally LOVE SK-II and am in no way defaming SK-II but simply giving my bloody straightforward opinion on why SK-II is not for everyone or some people. This is also derived from my observation when using SK-II. I will definitely continue using SK-II because it works for me.
