Ice Cream

The hot summer weather makes you long for something soothing and cooling. The bestest treat would be ice cream. 

I ate the Walls Asian Delight Coconut bar.  The ice cream is actually creamy and not overly sweet. There are bits of coconut flesh in the ice cream so you get bits of it in every bite. The taste is quite refreshing.

Also from the same series is the mango ice cream. The creamy mango is refreshing with bits of mango flesh in every bite. Like the coconut ice cream, thia one is not too sweet. 

The iconic snack..... Pocky

This iconic snack is a must when school is over and while waiting for the school bus to pick me up. Back then the name was Rocky and sometime in 2014 the name was changed to Pocky, to adapt the globalisation. 

Each box is 40g and consists of biscuit sticks coated with dips. I got chocolate, almond, double choc, cookies & cream and cendol to try out. 

1. The chocolate flavour tastes of chocolate (hehehe). However the chocolate ia a bit sweet. Will taste great with tea, green tea or other less sweet drinks to balance out the sweetness. I always have a packet of this to snack in my car in case I got stuck in a traffic jam. 

2. The cookies & cream taste very mild. The colour of the biscuit stick is also a bit darker than the chocate flavoured. The taste is also not too sweet. I can smell the cream and there bits and pieces of biscuit all over the stick. This is not my favourite Pocky cause I love chocolate more 😁. 

3. The almond one smells almondy and buttery. There are bits and pieces of almond all over the coating. It is not too sweet and the balances well with the biscuit stick. I liked it. However, if you have nuts allergy, please give this a pass. 

4. The cendol is an exclusive edition for Malaysia. Cendol is an iced  sweet dessert consisting of ice shaving, coconut milk, condensed milk, palm sugar syrup and green rice flour jelly. Hot weather makes it so delicious to eat, accompanied by a plate rojak eaten under a tree beside the road 😁. 

This cendol pocky is an amazing find. The whiff of gula melaka and pandan smell greets me when i opened the packet. The green coating represents the green flour jelly in the cendol. It tastes like a combination of palm sugar and coconut milk. As amazing as it is, I still love the real cendol. 

5. The double choc Pocky is a chocolate biscuit stick coated with a chocolate dip. The taste is good because the bland and a tiny bit bitter taste of the biscuit balances the sweet chocolate coating. One of my favourite Pocky 💖. 

So, there you have it. Try out a Pocky today. 

Harrogate Sulphur Soap Review

Hi guys! It has been a long time since I updated this blog! So sorry about that. I am at the end of completing my studies so I hope I can spend some time to do reviews for you guys. :)

I wanted to try out Harrogate Sulphur Soap ever since I saw a video explaining about the soap by the sole distributor of the product in Malaysia, Harrogate Sulphur Soap (HSS) Bytema Malaysia. I was browsing FB yesterday when I stumbled upon a posting about HSS' anniversary promotion. Since my husband was working in the same area where the showroom is, so I texted my husband to help me get the promotion package! In conjunction with their first anniversary, HSS Malaysia is offering for each purchase of the basic set worth RM250, they will throw in 1 original soap bar, 1 konjac sponge and 1 soap box with the purchase. The promotion ended yesterday, 11th July 2018.

The Harrogate Sulphur Soap is known to have therapeutic and curative qualities, thanks to it's content of active sulphur, which is known as beauty mineral. All of their product line contains sulphur and spring water from Harrogate's famous spa as well as Vitamin E. None of their products contain coal tar, paraben or mercury. The products are suitable for all skin types, even for babies.

So, here are the purchase my husband made for me yesterday.

I tried the Original Sulphur Soap as body soap and the Spring Water Sulphur Soap for my face. Both soaps are oval in shape. The original soap has quite a strong sulphur scent but not too overwhelming. The Spring Water soap has a clean, fresh scent. The soap does not lather much but when used together with the konjac sponge, getting a very rich lather to wash my face was fairly easy. After washing off the lather with water, my skin felt clean but not tight. I will comment again to see how it fares for my super oily skin. To make the soap last longer, I cut the bar of soap into three portions and use one portion while keeping the rest in sealed in a small ziploc bag back into the box,

Next, I used the Original yellow soap for my body. I often have allergic reactions and have itchy patches here and there. So I would like to see if the soap can help to lessen the itchiness. The bar soap lathers the same as the blue one, the soap produces just enough lather and has a smooth glide when lathered up. My skin did felt smoother and not as dry as before. I urged my husband to try out the soap for his use as well since he has eczema. I will update his progress in this blog soon.

For those who are interested in getting the Harrogate Sulphur Soap or other products, you can purchase them at Harrogate Sulphur Soap Bytema Malaysia. Each soap sells for RM55 for 100gm per bar and it comes in 4 scents which is the Original (yellow), Victorian Rose (pink), English Garden (green) and Spring Water (blue).

I will be doing another review on the other products soon. Have a great day ahead peeps! \(^_^)/
