Date Night : Troika Sky Dining & Heli Lounge ❤

Took this while stuck in the traffic (:

So, the boyfie was back from JB for a few days and we were going for a date night somewhere in KL.

I stumbled on a list of sky dining restaurants in KL and let him decide on one place that interests him most.

Previously we found places such as Marini's on 57 and Heli Lounge already but didn't have the time to visit them. 

Initially, he wanted to make a reservation at Marini's but the only slot we could get is at 9.30pm. That's kinda late for dinner and we'll have to eat in a rush as they close at 11pm :(

The finalized decision, we'll go to Strato (one of Troika's Sky Dining) and then hit Heli Lounge for a drink.

So, time to prep for the date night. I opt for something which is simple, comfy yet chic at the same time. As for the makeup, I plan to play it neutral using my Bobbi Brown's Bellini Lip & Eye Palette 

(you can read my review here)

My look of the night and #ootn with black, polka dots and a burst of red for some color ❤

Troika Sky Dining has 3 sections; Strato (Italian restaurant), Claret (bar) and Cantaloupe (fine dining). I never have the preference for fine dining as the portions served are really small and you'll have to eat with grace and class while the waitresses are staring at you. Stress much.

Btw, if you are going to Strato, please do not wear skater skirts or dresses as it's located at the upper section. You'll have to take the stairs and it's pretty inconvenient. You shall understand my difficulty when you see the picture at the bottom later.

I would say that the view offered wasn't much but the service and food was awesome. Ambiance wise was perfect, the whole lighting, music and all, lovely for a date night ❤

Sneaky bum took this secretly

We ordered one starter and two mains.

Starter: Scallops and beans

Pizza: Carbonara sauce, broccoli, smoked duck breast

Pasta: Gnocchi with braised chicken ragu and shaved cured foie gras

Each and every one of them was goooooooooood! As for drinks, I had their rose wine and he ordered their Sangria. The wine was okay but the Sangria is not something that I would recommend. We also ordered one of their recommended desserts, Strawberry Panna Cotta.

They would then escort you downstairs near the bar to enjoy your dessert.

The waiter near the stairs saw my skirt and reminded me to "watch my step" while going down.

Note to self: Never wear anything flare to this place the next visit.

Dessert accompanied by romantic ambiance ❤

After lingering there for a bit, we made our move to the Heli Lounge.

The parking there is very small and dodgy for me.

First thing that greets you, the bouncer and a small reception table to take your drinks' order. We were there around 10pm plus, and you can only enter if you buy a bottle. It's like the reception concept at clubs where you have to make your bottle purchase to enter the place. I'm not sure about evenings though, I think they serve dinner and there's no such rule because my friend told me that the food there is pretty good (he went there for dinner with the family).

The lounge area with a live DJ

Of course, you have to make your way to the Helipad for the view. After some stairs, you'll feel the wind once you reach the entrance and be amazed at what greets you!

 It was beautiful up there! 

Having both KL Tower and Twin Towers so close to you with their glittering lights..

You might experience some butterflies in your stomach if you are afraid of height.

KL City ❤

Too bad that it started to pour in less than half an hour while we were up there, I didn't even get to finish my first glass. Such a waste :( It would be nice to enjoy the view and wine there.

And that's our date night ❤

Hope you enjoy reading and do share with me your date night outs too!

Till then,

Much loves, xoxo ❤

Hitz Invasion WTF!~

"Catch Chester See live in the Hitz Invasion Birthday Bash 

at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus!"

I'm pretty sure that sounds familiar to all Chester See's fans and also Hitz.FM listeners (:

Been looking forward to it since CHESTER SEE IS COMING *fangirl moment* 

and the best part, entrance is FREE (;

The event starts at 6pm but being typical Malaysians, my girlfriend and I arrived fashionably late at 8pm.

Well, main reason was because I only went there for Chester and the Hitz FM crew plus I have no idea who are the other performers for that evening, so.. kinda lazy wanna go early lah.

I must say, the whole decoration of the event was AMAZING BALLS! 

Lighting was awesome!

Brought to you by the New Ford Fiesta

They have these purple pinkish inflatable balls during the concert, nice touch to the heat of the event.

Some of the people got hit in the face without knowing, funny expressions. LOL

They even have MINIONS that night, so so soooooooooooo adorable!

Too bad I was watching from the Syopz area, couldn't take a close shot :(

Chester See ❤

#ChesterSeeisALWAYSsoSEXYandHOT

He really amazed me with his dressing. How could he dress like that in such a hot weather.

Oh well, a man gotta do what a man gotta do, is to have swag at all times ❤

And of course, you have to take photos to show that you enjoyed as memories right?

Pardon me for the messy hair, she clicked too early before I could tidy them :(

Le gf and moi (:

And to end this post, here's a video from Jinnyboy and Hitz 

*TIP: Chester is in it ❤

I'll continue with my Bangkok trip post in the next one.

Much loves, xoxo.

Bombe Alaska!

Ms Fibiee came up with this idea to have a 

belated birthday celebration 

for me with a few more friends. And we hit Bangsar, one of my favorite spots as food heaven! (I love eating, like A LOT!) Om nom nom!~

We went to The Smokehouse, Bangsar (I've blog about this place before, link listed below) as I love the ambiance there and we didn't want to go to Eurodeli again. They celebrated my birthday there last year and we had this huge-ass burger called the Matterhorn Burger! The size was amusing but the taste was a HUGE disappointment! The patty was made of pork but it tasted like your typical canned luncheon meat or maybe worse.

My BIG BADASS Matterhorn birthday burger! :')

Okay, no more Matterhorn this year! Instead, I had my lovely Beef Wellington for dinner. And the menu of the night..

From top left:  My lovely Beef Wellington, Fibiee's Fish and Chips,
Thai rice dish (I'm not sure about the name),
Chicken Maryland and Ray just have to photobomb it and the Devil's Chicken!

And the grand finale of the night's dishes and celebration, Bombe Alaska! 

Bombe Alaska, one hot flaming dessert!

Here's a video for the night! (:

It was an awesome night of fun, laughter and some catching up. 

This is exactly how the ambiance was like! (:

I looked as though I have a boycut hair! 

And here's the link to the previous blog post about The Smokehouse as promised..

Have a great weekend ahead peeps!

A Little Birthday Dinner

 So last night, a dear friend of mine decided to bring me and the birthday girl out for dinner.

Around 6.20pm..
     - on Facebook chat - 

Me: Btw, I nd to go shower n gt ready alr or else later late. Not like u duno he's always PUNCTUAL.
Birthday girl: Alright, I'll watsapp u.
Me: Thankies! Buhbye!

I went into the showers, take my own sweet time and decided to put on a little bit of makeup after getting dressed. Just right at the moment after I'm done with my BB cream..
      * le phone rings *

Me: Hello!
Kent: Hello, we are right outside of your place! Come out now.
Me: WHATTTTTTTTTT?! Okay, 3 mins!

And the moment I went downstairs, my mom said her favorite line, " Why you ALWAYS let people wait for you one?"
My only reaction: (-.-") Hello, I've asked someone to inform me but they did not.

Oh well, let's skip to dinner.

Kent picked TGIF as the dining spot since I was craving for lamb and he was gonna treat both of us (YAY!). Birthday girl and I wanted the lamb chop but it was sold out (total disappointment for an established food chain). Our last resort, grilled lamb. She told the waitress who was taking our order, "Medium well, please.".

20 minutes of growling tummy and rants of hunger.. The lamb arrives!

To a BIGGER disappointment, our lambs were so well done that it hurts my jaw just by chewing it! Dang it! I swear if I was an old woman with fragile teeth, they would have all dropped by then! And so, I've decided to ask the staff and their response was, "Sorry miss, all grilled lambs are cooked with the same standard, no medium well or whatsoever."

OH WOW! Fantastic lah! Hello, your staff could have told me that during the order so that I WOULD HAD ORDERED SOMETHING ELSE other than your ROCK SOLID LAMB! This is what I called "lack of staff training and poor product knowledge". Another thing, TGIF has this tradition where the staffs would all performed a birthday song and brings a free dessert for the birthday person. I have seen this in the Sunway Pyramid's TGIF and it was awesome but the one here.. The way they handled it was so DREADFUL that we ended up asking for only the dessert, no singing. In short, dinner was pretty ruined.

We went to the bowling alley after dinner to roll some pins down! Been ages since my last game..

Stinky bowling shoes!

Pose a bit first, can play or not, we shall see later.

Birthday girl captured this for me! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY   darling, you're officially 22 now! *xoxo*

And then that's all for today's post! (: (need to get back to assignments now!)
