CNP Anti-Pore Black Head Clear Kit

The post below is at your own discretion. Hahaha

First ever beauty review, yo!

Earlier this year, I have been hearing and reading a lot of reviews about CNP, a Korean brand that just landed in Malaysia. The very first product that was launched here is the CNP Anti-Pore Black Head Clear Kit that I purchased right away when I saw it selling it Muse by Watson in Sunway Pyramid.

That strawberry is a representation of a nose without black heads lol. Also, although it's not stated anywhere, the picture is shows that there are 3 pieces of 1 and 3 pieces of 2 is exactly how many pieces it is inside the package (I found out when I opened the packaging haha)

Thank you to the one who painstakingly stick the English translations behind the package. It has step by step instructions that is also on the back on the inside pack but those, are all still in Korean. (I was halfway through Korean Beginner 2 and I stoppedso I can't understand yet har..)

Everything in the package. I used a set before which is why there's only 2 sets left. The black cotton buds are given for you to remove the black heads after Step 1 is done and before Step 2.

Below will be pictures of me, and the products. Kindly note that I don't have the best skin (I actually have very horrible skin) out there so do keep an open mind. I needed a lot of courage before I dare to do beauty products review one lor.. 

First step is, of course, wash face clean clean, no more make up :)

As you can see here (besides the pores), the black heads on my nose are pretty badass.

So here's step 1: Black Head Clear Mask which gently removes black heads and sebum.

I am a bit jakun when it comes to skin care so I was quite surprised when I see that the nose pack is actually the mask type so here I am, placing it over my nose and waited patiently for 10 minutes.

There's two different type of heads on the cotton buds so I assumed the jagged one was to push the blackheads out while the other is to clear it from your skin.

So I tried, but I am kinda bad at it and the cotton bud bent but nothing came out so I had to use some other tools but the blackhead came out like a breeze hehe

The residue for pore tightening mask is slightly thicker and sticker or shall I say slimier, than the first one.

Mandatory selfie please hahaha

Yay! All cleaner and shinier now. 

Minus the pores, you can actually see that the blackheads are cleared up almost completely from the before to after. Albeit it being slightly expensive, I think this is quite a good purchase as it really helps with the ugly heads, my skin is bad enough as it is and the heads are not helping hahaha.

If you're inspired by my first ever beauty post, go get yourself one! Feedbacks are also welcomed on how should I improve hehe :)

[Food Review] Cafe 9 - A Taste of Thai

Hello hello everyone! On a Saturday a couple of week ago, I was invited to a food tasting event by Food Ink, an awesome community made by food lovers, for food lovers. The idea behind this is to bring people together and since restaurants would always serve more than enough food in one event of food tasting, why not bring in more people to enjoy the food instead of wasting the food or stuffing ourselves to the max, right? This way, we would be able to know more people from the community as well, one stone can kill two birds, right? 

We were all invited to a Thai cafe located in SS17, called Cafe 9. I think I can speak for most of us when I say Thailand, especially Bangkok is a shopping heaven and of course, we would never miss out any chance to devour in the cheap and authentic Thai cuisine. 

9 members of a family decided to then bring Thai food to Malaysia, thus, Cafe 9 is established. Fun fact, '9' in Chinese actually means 'forever'. With that being said, the owners of Cafe 9 places customer service as the priority and to ensure continuous effort of great customer service.

A small, cheerful, cosy place for you to enjoy the food and spend time with your loved ones

Time for food! I might not be able to provide comments on all the food that I will be posting up as a lot were served that day, thanks to the generosity of the boss. 

First up, what is Thai food without a good bowl of Tomyum soup? Look at the generous amount of ingredients in that Tomyum soup. Cafe 9 understands how we can't take food as spicy as Thais do, so to suit our Malaysian tongue, they are thoughtful enough to tone down the spicy level of the soup. Despite it still being too spicy for me (I don't take spicy food), I can't stop myself from slurping the soup, yes, it was that good! 

For the Tomyum soup, you have a choice of either choosing the clear base soup, or the red (we had the red one).

Only Prawn          : RM25.90 (R) / RM45.90 (L)

Seafood               : RM25.90 (R) / RM45.90 (L)

Regular will be able to feed 2 to 4 people whereas a large will be enough for 5 to 8 people.

Thai Style Fried Chicken Wings (RM16.90)

     So much ingredients were stuffed into this deboned chicken wings. You can already feel the effort they've put into preparing this dish even before you take a bite off of it. It has a very complex yet unique taste from all the mixture of different ingredients and to be honest, you don't really taste the chicken in the chicken wing but don't get me wrong, it still taste good, uniquely good hehehe.

Fish Cake (RM18.90)

Chicken Fried Rice (RM10)

Dancing Fish

Small serves 4 person (RM44.90)

Large serves about 6 to 8 person (RM49.90)

     The fish looks like it's served as a whole fish but the servers have actually cut the meat to bite size and display it nicely for aesthetic purposes. I like how the fish is fried just right that they manage to maintain the softness of the flesh and yet has that crispy texture to the skin 

Thai Style Claypot Glass Noodle with Prawns (RM25.90)

Thai Otak Otak [Hor Mok] (RM23.90)

     I have always been a fan of Otak Otak so of course I was excited when this is served. What's more unique than it being a Thai Otak Otak is that it's actually served in a coconut, with the coconut flesh still intact! I remember taking spoonful after spoonful of this and enjoying the heavenly taste.

I have forgotten what is this dish called but this dish is lala cooked in a sauce that is usually used to cook crabs. However, as crabs are messy to eat and it's a lot to handle, the owner made some changes to the dish. It tasted great, especially with a bowl of white rice!

Broccoli Served in Signature Egg Sauce (RM15.90)

      Instead of the usual 'Kangkung Belacan', we were served with this lighter tasting brocolli dish as most of the dishes served are really heavy in ingredients. This is just right to cleanse your taste buds.

Thai Prawn Cakes (House Special) – RM18.90

     Last but not least, Cafe 9's special dish, Thai Prawn Cake. The prawn cake is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It's so good that I would have been able to finish this entirely on my own, would definitely go back for this!
