7 Days Milk Challenge with Dutch Lady

"a good breakfast, fuel you up and get you ready for the day"

do you know that actually breakfast is a really important meal of the day? do not ever skip breakfast, you can grab a slice of toast, or some cookies in the morning if you don't have time to sit and have breakfast. I honestly say, i have my breakfast everyday, even most of the time, i really waiting from night time before i sleep, knowing that i need to wake up early to have my breakfast. I don't want my breakfast time and lunch time gap is too close. I want to enjoy my breakfast. Usually i will have toast and milk, or tea for breakfast. Sometime, i will have a cup of granola and milk, sometime traditional kuih. I always love to have my milk during my breakfast, because it just make a complete breakfast, and 'closed' my breakfast time with the good thing, enrich my body and fill up my tummy with something that full of protein, calcium, and make me feel full without consuming a lot and heavy meal in the morning. I will tell you more about the milk itself in the next paragraph.

The commercial, or lots of times we heard about the milk actually does good for your body. However, have you ever think yourself, and prove it, what does the milk actually do to your body, what are the benefits of milk itslef? After some research here and there, I can list down some points why drinking milk is a good.

Being aware that the condition nowadays, a lot of people consume a little of calcium. A high risk of osteoporosis. So why not those who are aware of it, we remind others to consume more milks. Share a good things to others not hard, and not difficult to do. I will continue to do my part, so why not you start it too? For a better world, and for a better life.

Calcium can be received not only from milk, but why not start to drink a milk a glass a day?

It is just as simple as that. It fuel you up. And you ready to walk through your day.

Having enough nutrients is important for your body. Having a healthy lifestyle need to start from now. 

Below, i will share with you my 7 days milk journey with Dutch Lady Malaysia:

BREAKFAST DAY 1

I enjoyed the breakfast delivered to me on the day itself.

Such a great meal. I always love my breakfast. Instead of having the full cream milk,

I had my low fat Milk first. Cause actually I prefer have low fat rather than full cream.

It is just my preference. No other specific reasons for it.

BREAKFAST DAY 2

On the second day, I had my breakfast on the plane because I was travelling overseas.

So i bring along the other 5 milks with me.

BREAKFAST DAY 3

And of course not forget my milk too! What a sinful yet delicious breakfast.

Fuel up my day!

BREAKFAST DAY 4

The day after, we had fish congee and you tiao coated with cheering fun.

I just found that this can be a good breakfast too. I never had congee for breakfast though.

A new experience. I shared the congee with my friend because i feel too much.

And the you tiao as well. It was a lot! Not forget to have my milk for breakfast.

BREAKFAST DAY 5

The other day, the other breakfast. I had dim sum for that day. As you can see below.

I just a little bit regret, I supposed to eat Tou Sa Bao instead of Char Siew Bao.

A lot of salty dishes already. But not bad, to paired it up with my milk again.

BREAKFAST DAY 6

I bought the cheese tart the day before. We bought 4. and still got two.

Then i put on the fridge, the cheese not melting.

but the taste super good. you should tried it.

they had some branches in some countries. you can google it.

BREAKFAST DAY 7

For the last day, I have granola topped with milk.

I miss my usual breakfast already. and glad that I can have it again.

the package delivered from Dutch Lady

what an honour to get the chance of this 7days milk journey with dutch lady malaysia.

such a happiness to get the package too. contained 7 packs of Purefarm Milk.

Love it much!

Such a great journey with Dutch Lady throughout this one week.

I will still continue to have my milk during my breakfast.

Because I know that have my milk once in a day is a good thing.

Some days, I have my warm milk before sleep. To help me relieve my stress.

And sleep well. As I had mentioned above the good side of having milk, I encourage all of you, who read my blog, to start drink milk, whether it is for breakfast, brunch, lunch, snacks, post workout, dinner, or before sleep. It will give you something good. Give you energy to start your day, give you enough nutritions, such as calcium, proteins, etc. Don't worry about the calories contain in milk, as long as you have it in proper portion. I suggest you to have it low fat though.

"2 servings of milk a day helps to meet your nutritional requirement; and 1 serving at breakfast can provide 200mg of calcium to jump start your daily nutritional intake."

Share with me if you have your milk journey, and share with others the goodness of having milk if you have proved yourself. 

Love,

Priscilla

Soft Launch Cafe

Soft Launch Cafe

"Whether it was a good time out, a good time in or simply just a good time, a good time with friends is something to remember for the rest of your life. The friends may go, but the memories will stay.”

One fine Saturday, I was going out with one friend. We decided to ate lunch in Subang area. Just for a quick lunch, but of course we didn't take fast food. :D after that, we decided to go to a cafe, so that we can sit and talk. More comfortable to chit chat.

Then after did some research through the apps, firstly I wanted to go OUG. but not much choices.. Then she told me that Sri Petaling lately also got a lot of new cafes just opened. Then i gave her the choices. And because she likes waffles (she told me that), super like it. She knew that Soft Launch also quite popular with their waffles. Then we went and try lor..

That day, cafe was quite packed. Because of weekend most probably.
We ordered one affogato (RM15) Softserve and 2 shots of espresso. 2 shots is enough. I dont really like the coffee too sweet. so with 2 shots, and blended with the softserve, the taste became awesome! in the hot weather, and you can have ice cream and coffee. ✔✔

Then ordered one Mango Waffle (RM19). contained of Crispy yeasted waffle, Mangoes, Cream and Maple Syrup on side. So if you don't want to sweet you don't need to pour maple syrup. I don't really fancy with Cream, think that if it was Ice Cream would be better. But overall was good. Think of the waffle's cals make me think twice. I ate quarter at the end, she ate three quarter ✌✌ But she really like waffles. So it's okay. We almost order two waffles, luckily not. And she ordered Hot Latte (RM10).

Everytime I visit Cafes. I always like to observe their ambience and service. Cause it is one of the reason to come back. Staffs were good and helpful. Serve with smile. Point plus! Even we asked to put table and chairs for us in a place that actually they don't have it. (sorry to make you guys troublesome, but you guys awesome!). Waffles served a bit long. Maybe bcs many people (?). And i think can be crunchier. We chit chat quite some times. Means the place is nice to chill.

They have special Pokemon menu. I didn't order. But if you interest in it, you can have a try. I just don't really fancy with too sweet-drinks. Definitely will come back and try another waffles 😁

Here you go, the address

Joy of Giving

The JOY of Giving

This post will be the very first time I won't write about cafe's review.

I don't have specific reason why I want to write about this. But there is a voice inside that encourage me to share this in my blog.

Thus, I will share with you about the JOY of Giving.

Since I was young, I always be taught to always give more rather than demand. We all know that we should do that, right? But, as a human, I have to admit that it is hard task to do. Human's nature is always "we gave already, so what is the rewards for me?" "I have sacrificed a lot, but what I get at the end?!" "I am tired of always give and others didn't do the same to me" A lot of people feel exhausted and feel "dry" because too much of giving. I have to say honestly that I ever feel that too. I am human too. So I have encountered those problems as well, and even until today, there are times I will fall and feel that why people didn't give as much as I give to them. 

I am mentioning about giving here in the context of not only give any stuffs, goods, and any other physical items, but also about the time, love, care, presence, etc. 

It is not easy when we learn to give, without demand or expect more. But it doesn't mean we cannot. We have ability, to learn, to change, and to keep trying. The only thing matter is the willingness.

When in fights with others, either because of misunderstanding, or small conflicts, try to ask yourself, you will be the one that always angry first and don't care because you feel that you always right and my pride is number one, i will not say sorry first. or you will be the one that humble yourself to say sorry and try to fix the things. Of course, we all have been in both sides before. But most of the times, which side will you be in? It is not easy to say sorry first and admit that you do wrong. I have to say, try, try and try, try to say sorry first. Apologize doesn't mean you lose. But instead, you learn how to give, give the best out of you. which to humble yourself and say sorry.

In life, we have others surround us, family, friends, bf/gf, cousins, acquintances, colleagues, etc. Most of the times, we always expect their times, their presence, they should be there when we need the most, they should accompany me when I want to go somewhere, they should help me to solve the problem, they should update me about their life, they should understand me, they should text me and call me as much as they can, and other things. Is it true that these issues often come in your mind? Honestly, I had before. And yes, it is human's nature. We always expect from others, we always demand that others will understand us, etc. But as I grow older, and this just happened recently, I learn to keep telling myself, when you love others, when you care about them, I should not expect too much. Expect too much will hurt you, right? So instead, learn not to demand too much. Others will have own business, they can't always be there for me. Sometimes I should keep it to myself, not everything I should tell everybody. I should appreciate those who make time for me, who understand me, who still update me, and find me even though they find me might be because of they encounter problems, and I still have my own problems, but, give your time for them, give ear to listen, actually there will be a little happiness, that you will feel without you realise. 

Learn to give more than you receive. I have to say, when you give more, you will get the joy that you also don't know how can I give so much but I still feel happy with my life. Try to appreciate small matters. When others update you, call you or meet you maybe just for a moment, 2 hours, an hour or maybe less. But when you be happy for what you have, you appreciate the effort of others, you will not complaint, you will feel the blessing, you even can say thank you for their effort. Giving gives you satisfaction. 

It is not easy to do it. I have to admit that I also fall down a lot of times, but I keep telling myself, I need to go back stand and learn from the mistakes. I might not be the BEST but I know I keep getting better each and every single day. I can do it, I am sure you can do too. Last thing, I have to say, try, you never know if you never try :)

Happy Midweek. Happy Wednesday!

Best regards,

Pris

Lawang Wangi

Lawang Wangi

morning without coffee is like...... sleep

Hello Friday! The day that everyone always waiting for. It's weekend, again. So be happy.

Anyway, I went to Bandung, West Java, Indonesia from Wednesday night. It's a random trip and unexpected. But glad to be here.
First night I stayed in Pasteur area, the closest from highway's exit since I reached at midnight. The next day I moved to Setiabudi area. I did not visit a lot of places since the purpose is to relax and enjoy.

This place is famous with the name of Lawang Wangi Creative Space. They have Art Gallery, Design Space and Cafe. Located in Dago area. The scenery was superb! (you can see the photos below). The weather also nice. I am sure a lot of youngster knew about this place. And to find the location is not hard, just 'waze' it. It will direct you to the place right away. The road to this place is gonna be quite small. But just drive carefully should be okay.

We ordered a plate of Nachos, Hot Latte, Lawangwangi Traditional Drink, and a cup of Hot Black Coffee. Total Bill was IDR128k. You can see all the foods and drinks in the photos below.
I think the price was cheaper that other cafe that happening nowadays. You can enjoy the view from this cafe too. And they really famous with the bridge. Romantic bridge. But doesnt mean it will be better if you go here with your spouse only, it is a No. It will be nice with family, or friends as well. Take a picture in the bridge altogether will be good too.

Well, it will be end here. Not much to say, photos will say it all.

Hello Thursday!
Time really flies so fast. Almost weekend, again.. I know everyone cant wait for the weekend. For those who working, just hang on, eventhough you are tired, just wait for a little while. And you can rest more during weekend.

Okay, that's it for intro. XD This post I am gonna write about one coffee shop. In Serpong area (again), due to, on Wednesday 26/7/16, means yesterday, I accompanied my friend to Alam Sutra. And because She done with the task earlier, and we had a plan for dinner with family in restaurant nearby, so we decided to just find a cafe and do some our own paper works. After scrolling down the Internet, and we found out the Tobi's Coffee and Tea. One friend recommend this to us before. So went there and gave them a visit to try.

The moment we enter, cafe was cozy, and really quiet. No other customer, except us. Btw, it's good since we can focus on doing the work. Like 15mins after that, some customers come and go.

My friend ordered tea - Pineapple Paradise Ice Tea 35k
I ordered - Hot Cappucino 35k

Overall of my experience here:
Ambience: 4/5 - my friend agree, that this cafe is nice for hang out and do assignments.
Service: 4.5/5 - staff was helpful and have a good product knowledge, and serving quite fast
Drinks: 4/5 - coffee was good
Interior Design: 4/5
Price: 30-45k per person (drinks only)

I am quite happy that we can have an unexpected coffee time at new cafe we never tried before.

Turning Point Coffee

TURNING POINT COFFEE

"oh look! it's coffee o'clock!"

It's been almost a year I didn't write a blog.

After some consideration, I just think I should write again. So here I am.

In this post I will write about one of cafe in Serpong area, Indonesia. Named Turning Point Coffee.

For those who haven't been here before, I tell you in advance. They don't put any signage in front of the cafe. So once you find it through GPS, and they tell you, that you have reached your destination, but you really don't know where is the exact location, find the people to ask. It is quite unique that they did not put a signage for people to see. But, you should know that eventho like this, they still popular among youngster. And that's why we can say how strong media influence people. Information can be spread so fast.

I like the concept of the cafe, simple, woods, and white.. At first they don't have Wi-fi, but lately I visit them and they provide Wi-fi already. The staffs really helpful and have a good service.

I have tried some menus, such as Hot Latte, G.I.L.A, and Chilled Coffee, and Croissant too.

Hot Latte 40k

G.I.L.A 40k
Granola+Ice Cream+Latte
I even ordered another shot. This combination was.....SUPERB!
You got everything you like altogether.

Chilled Coffee 50k
basically it is a latte in a bottle, coffee-to-go, and it is cold. But it is definitely not just like normal. In my opinion, the taste is super super nice.. Smooth, and very well blended. Between the coffee and milk and sugar. The sweetness is just right. Not too sweet and not bitter too.
I really recommend you to try this.
At first i also thought of how pricey for a coffee. The bottle not so big too, but my friend said I should try. So ya, Why not give a try?
After one try, I definitely fall in love with this.

This cafe is really nice place. to chitchat, to do your tasks, or just to sit and relax. Go and experience yourself, then you will know how's like.
