I study away from home so it is inevitable for me to cook dinner myself. Therefore, I really needed a short-cut in order to speed up the cooking process but at the same time gives me a tasty dinner. I am health conscious too, so I am looking for something with no artificial seasonings. Then I found this - Ikan Brand instant curry paste!

If you love eating curries, chilli paste, Thai sauce food, you are reading the right blog for a simple sweet and spicy fish recipe. The first recipe that I am going to share with you is ''Portugese Style Sweet and Spicy Fish''. Thank you Ikan Brand for sponsoring me the delicious sauces. Read till the end of this post to know how you could win yourself some Ikan Brand's products too!

Portugese dishes are very popular in Malacca, Malaysia because back then in the early centuries, The Portugese colony had brought in their well-known spicy recipes to our country and were adapted over the years. This Portugese paste is suitable for stir-fry or steaming method especially meats such as prawns, chicken, fishes and even tofu.

First of all, steam 600gm of fish for 10 minutes. Pour in 1 packet of Ikan Brand paste. Let it steam for another 5 minutes. (Appox: 15 minutes) Tips: Give deep diagonal cuts on the surface of the fish so that the fish meat is cooked easily.

In less than thirty minutes, my Portuguese Style Sweet and Spicy Fish is ready to serve!

[BEAUTY REVIEW] Ludeya Bio Cellulose Mask & Simply Barley and Red Bean Water

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share with you the two products that I received from iQueen - Ludeya Bio Cellulose Mask & Simply Barley and Red Bean Water.

P/S: Read 5 Reasons You Should Shop at iQueen!

LUDEYA Bio Cellulose Mask

Ever wondered what is S.H.E Selina Jen's beauty secret? Despite her burn accident in 2010, Selina is able to maintain pretty, smooth and rejuvenated skin. All because of LUDEYA Bio Cellulose Mask!

Ludeya, established in year 2003, high efficacy yet authentically dermatologist beauty solutions masterminded by the elite team from Korea, Japan, Europe & USA, products are mainly made in Korea & Taiwan. Ludeya insists Non Artificial Colourings, Non Artificial Fragrance & Preservatives, hypo allergenic products that suits all skin type. All ingredients are clinically proven & tested to ensure it is mild & effective. 

Bio Cellulose, also known as ''artificial skin'', was medically used as a substitute for skin to treat various types of wounds and burn injuries. LUDEYA Bio Cellulose Mask series uses the latest, exclusive Bio Fermentation technology – a 21- day process under very low temperature – to form SkinGel, whose 3-dimensional structure closely resembles the human skin. This allows Bio Cellulose Mask to completely bond with skin to deliver the exclusive SEANOL® essence deep into the dermis, and effectively reduce skin sensitivity. The Algae Polyphenol Extract was well-known for its skin repairing, brightening and hydrating benefits. It provides intense hydration to the skin, leaving it moisturized, radiant and more youthful looking.

Selina has been using LUDEYA Bio Cellulose Mask for 2 years. Then only she agreed to be the ambassador of LUDEYA. LUDEYA helps her to recover her face skin after the burning incident, even beauty guru Kevin has been using Ludeya as his all times favourite, so you know it's really effective!

Pink: PORE REFINING + MOISTURIZING

Silver: WHITENING + MOISTURIZING

Black: REPAIRING + MOISTURIZING

How to use?

STEP 1

After thorough cleansing, remove the mask from the pouch.

STEP 2

Remove the pearl paper and 

apply the mask on face and fix it with fingertips using gentle pressure, 

then remove the blue layer. 

STEP 3

Ensure the mask adheres well to the skin with no bubble of air in between.

STEP 4

Relax and let it acts for 15-20 minutes.

STEP 5

Remove the mask and gently massage remaining essence into skin.

Overall, the quality on the masks, all the way from the packaging to the product itself, is fantastic! I tried the silver one, which has the function of deep whitening, hydrating, brightening and anti dullness. I did not experience any irritation, nor did I see extremely pronounced results. Nevertheless, my skin definitely looked less dull than it did prior to use, which is largely due to the boost of hydration. The best part is, my face feels supple and bouncy!

Interestingly, considering how drenched the mask was in the product when I first removed it from the packaging, the amount of moisture left on it when it was removed after the half hour mark has pronouncedly diminished which indicates that the formula on these is very effective at penetrating the skin. The gel-like, rubbery mask adhered on my face perfectly without any trouble of slipping off or adjusting it over and over again. It is something really new for me to try because I have never put on a mask that comes in three layers. The one that I usually put on is just two layers by itself.

[REVIEW] TRUDTOX Botanical Tea Blend - cleaner, lighter & re-energized!

Hello everyone! As you are well aware, World Cup fever is back again! Hands up football fans? :D Do you know that it is at time like this we tend to overeat when we watch football match at our all-time-favourite mamak, or stay up late so that we don't miss any match? Plus with all the bad weather going on, the air we breathe, the products we use, water we drink, (not to freak you out!) but practically everything contains pesticides, pollution and chemicals. If you eat 3 meals a day but only poop once in 5 days, you could have 15 meals still sitting in your intestines. All these meals in your body will slowly accumulate and harbor a wide variety of bacteria and parasites that is harmful towards your body. Imagine all these toxins in your body..... 

Well, it's time to flush. The reason why you flush your toilet bowl is the very same reason you need to flush toxins out of your body regularly. Flush 'em away with TruDtox Botanical Tea Blend today!

What is TruDtox?

On a side note, Skynet people ruined my box. :( Super sad.

Direction of Use:

Brew tea bag in a hot cup of water for 20-30 minutes.

*The effect may vary due to water temperature and brewing duration.*

*Not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.*

My experience with TruDtox

I love how it smells like herbal chinese tea. It's not too strong, but instead it has a very pleasant herbal flavour. I tried brewing it for the second time and it tastes the same, just slightly milder. So don't throw the teabag away after using it once! It's still effective!

*Colour, smell and taste may vary slightly from batch to batch 

due to the variations of natural ingredients used.*

This is actually the first time I am taking detox tea products so I had three tea bags a week as recommended. I normally consume after dinner or before I sleep. I enjoyed sipping the tea while reading my favourite book. :) I heard stories of people going to the toilet more than usual after consuming TruDtox so I was a little bit worried initially. :O However, I didn't experience any unusual bowel movements. But I do feel light and good even after a heavy dinner. It really works in relieving bloatedness! I haven't seen the result of a flatter tummy yet as they claimed to (as weight management requires sensible diet and exercise plan too) but I will continue my tea routine and let you know ya if it really works! But of course, do take note that result would differ from person to person. :)

TruDtox tea is not just a cup of tea. I really love how it keeps the bloat away and gives me a healthier body! I'd definitely recommend you to give this a try. :) Let's detox together!

They love TruDtox!
