HOW MY TRANSITIONS GOING SO FAR...

This post is going to be a quick update of my specta-cular-cles diary. In case you didn’t read my previous post, so here’s the thing: I have been constantly using my glasses ever since I discovered Transitions^®Signature™ adaptive lenses, and when I say constantly, I mean every single freaking day. The amazing feature of this lens is the capability to adapt with the UV light sensitivity and it will darken out as soon as the lens detected the UV, and it will darken more as the UV value gets stronger. AWESOME NOT?

Hereby I also want to answer a few emails from my readers asking me about the availability of Transitions^® lenses, well, you can have it almost everywhere in major optics in Jakarta, you can choose your favorite frame to be paired with your Transitions^® Signature™ lenses. The lens is also available in two colors: grey or brown. Honestly, doesn’t really matter what lens color you want, they still equally provide seamless enhanced vision, it’s just that the brown color will give you the better contrast between red and green colors, while the grey one provides neutral colour perception!

Talking about the frame, each people has different face shape and there’s always a frame for your “frame”, my face is the mixture of square with a oval so the rectangle shaped  frame will help me enhance my face and making it look slimmer *psst*. I love black frames just because it look cool. The best idea is to actually go to the optics and try out the frames!

Aside from the emails, the responds came mostly from the real life (sounds so dramatic). My friends happen to notice as my lens turn darker during the day and asking me what it actually is and how can darkened out. One of it was my friend, Aline, actually convinced her BF to convert to Transitions® lenses for the sake of health. I’m actually like a good saint converting everyone to the Transitions movement. Lesson to learn!

On my daily basis, I honestly found that my new glasses has benefited me in so many ways. First of all, clearer vision . Told you guys on the earlier post that I’ve been having a little trouble to noticing to little details as my vision will unfocussed and a little blurry. I kinda ignored it and opted to be careless instead of visiting my GP, but after a consultation session and eventually converting to glasses+suggested prescripton, my vision is now clearer and reading small details is such a piece of cake and not to mention, with the help of Transitions^® Signature™ Adaptive lens, its photochromic technology helps me protect my eyes from the harmful UV light as well as managing the amount of light to enhance my vision!You may think you can use ordinary clear lenses but you’re forgetting about UV protection! So do use Transitions® Signature™ lenses, that’s a long lasting commitment for great investment returns right there.

 Appearance wise, I proudly say that I can still look cool with the glasses – and that’s the second brilliant point -, wearing this might make you look a little mature (as what my friends told me), but in a good way. It’s the idea of combining the frame with the lens, and that has to do with your own personal style J.

As a blogger who specializes in food and lifestyle, I eat and take pictures of food everyday. I use DSLR and a fix lens and I have to pay attention to details of the food. Gotta admit that sometimes I end up missing the point on the wrong area and have to retake the photo shoots, even once or twice redo the whole shoot (depth of field could be very thin and tricky) </3.

Here are some of the photos taken the past two weeks:

Sharing a little true story here, my dad just had his cataract surery last week and has been using glasses his whole life. Cataracts can be caused by several factors, but mainly because of the age factor and UV-B ray attack. According to the doctor, my dad was so close to losing its left eye’s vision as the white cataract clouding the eye was thick enough, bet he’s quite traumatized now because he’s been sitting at home very quietly and joking around his eye condition, the doctor even recommended him to purchase Transitions^® Signature™ lenses, so I guess he should be converting in short.

For those of you who are wondering if the lens work properly outside Asia or anywhere in the world, because geographically, each continent, countries or part of the world has something different, but rest assured as the official release of Transitions lens has announced that it has gone through 200 real life conditions in 1000+ scenarios representing various temperatures, weather conditions and geographies!

You deserve to read the truth, see clearly and feel genuinely and why don’t you? Life’s too short to be “out of focus” and your eyes are the key to the best of the world! I personally highly recommend this lens for you all. Cheers to the better vision!

Banh Cuon Kim Thanh, Bankstown

Forget about toast and cereal. In Vietnam, breakfast is all about banh cuon for breakfast: slippery rice noodles served with slices of chả lụa Vietnamese pork sausage, bean sprouts, cucumber and shredded lettuce. The noodles can be rolled with or without meat fillings, but they’re always drowned in lashings of nuoc cham, Vietnam’s national dipping sauce which is made from fish sauce, sugar,

CREPE SIGNATURE JAKARTA

HELLO GUYS!!! Sorry for haven’t been blogging lately!

I am in between crazy hectic days and just getting back from my marvelous marvelous trip in Surabaya. OMG I really can’t wait to show you the diary! I am planning to write the whole experience into one post, but yes it will cost me a lot of hours to edit all the pictures and do the writing! But if you follow me on Instagram, you’ll get the quick picture, stay tuned for the whole loaded post!

Today I am going to be sharing you this cute little finding that I feel worth sharing and writing about. If normally you'll find me writing about seated dinings, they technically have seats in the outlet, but this will be just a little different.

Crepe Signature is that cute little finding I was referring to, located in Cipinang Mall at the east of Jakarta, this Malaysian originated brand has been opening its outlets in Indonesia for the past couple of months. Internationally, this brand is quite known in Malaysia (origin country), Singapore and Brunai Darusallam. In Indonesia itself, besides Jakarta, you can find this in Bandung and Solo. Heard they'll expand more soon. I noticed they were playing the tapes from the grand opening, they invited Teuku Rassya as the guest star and of course with his charm, he managed to get a lot of his fans gathering around.

Quick shots of the crepe making process:

For the variants here, they did emphasize on the chocolate creations, but they also offered the customers some savory selections and some with ice cream toppings. The thing that I love about their crepes is not only their enormous size, but the texture, flavor and consistency as well! The crepes were generally crispy, the filling was generous and seemed good quality one (not just some shitty chocolate), and for the amount of price that you're paying, it's VERY AFFORDABLE (I'm even willing to pay more to be honest). If this is not affordable for most, I don't know what affordable really means to you and I won't get it. Anyway, I managed to try some to let's dig in!

Chocolate Dip
IDR 14k
This one's called "Chocolate Dip", basically their homemade signature chocolate paste as the base and sprinkled with colorful "ceres". As what I've told you, I love the flavor of the chocolate, I don't really know exactly how to explain it but it just doesn't taste cheap and fake, it's that flavorful rich dark chocolate with light consistency. THE BEST THING ABOUT IT? IT'S ONLY 14 FREAKING K!!! ($1,1).

 A picture to show you how crispy and flaky the crepe is! Roar.

Chocolate Cheese Banana
IDR 17k
Same base with banana and cheese. Banana and chocolate just never disappoints! 

Chicken Sausage Cheese Savory Crispy
IDR 20k
If I am not mistaken, I think this was their most expensive, but for that price, you're getting...this:

 GENEROUS FILLING OF SAUSAGE, CRAB STICKS, CHEESE AND DRESSED IN BBQ AND MAYONAISSE! Flavor wise, it's quite yum as well! You got the sweetness from the sauce, the savoriness from the sauce and the sausage and that little touch of neutral from the crab stick and greens!

Ice Cream Crepe
IDR 16k

 As an ice-cream sucker, this was one of my favorites! Generally they were good but this was just a little more over the top (in a good way) with the ice cream! This one was only IDR 16k and you're technically paying for two scoops of ice-creams, good crepe, toppings and sauces! Something that you might not see very often anywhere else in Jakarta! Thank you Crepe Signature for bringing this guilty pleasure this CHEAP!

 Besides crepes, they also have some of their signature tea beverage creations like milk teas, originals, fruit based and smoothies completed with topping selections! On the left side is their Hazelnut Chocolate Milk Tea (IDR 20k) which was good! The rich chocolate flavor blended very well with generous but not overpowering Hazelnut flavor, not to mention, fragrant as well! The right side will be their Japanese Matcha Milk Tea (IDR 18k) and Kiwi Green Tea (IDR 17k) - the one at the back was the Hazelnut Chocolate Milk Tea -, the Matcha Milk Tea was decent but the Kiwi Green Tea managed to steal my attention with the amazing mixture of fragrant green tea and Kiwi flavor. FAVE!

Had a great short visit to Crepe Signature and I was quite pleased with everything that they're offering: starting from the crepes to the drinks, everything was good and best of all: supah dupah affordable...more like CHEAP! Now I am craving for their Crepe Ice Cream damnit!

Thanks for reading :)

Korean fried chicken at Seoul Orizin, Haymarket

Korean fried chicken isn't just fuel. It's an entire sensory experience. Show me someone whose eyes don't light up at the sight of that golden batter, rippled with scales that promise an earth-shattering crunch. Forget about cutlery. Korean fried chicken is made for eating with fingers, a caveman experience that sees you tearing shreds of succulent flesh off the bone as crumbs of batter fly

Brewery Yard Markets at Central Park, Chippendale

Markets are never a good match for night owls. Weekend sleep-ins usually win in my household. But a 10am market start is doable in my books, especially if the promise of donuts is involved. That's how I ended up at the new Brewery Yard Markets for their first two sessions of the year.

The Brewery Yard Markets are held at Central Park, across the road from the UTS tower

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER: GONG XI FA CHAI!

In case you're wondering, the photo above was edited using my "Bluedrue" tone and I intentionally added the grains on the Photoshop, hence it's very grainy but I love it! 

This is a random post, I just want to show you some of the pics that I took a couple of days ago a day before Chinese New Year and hereby I also want to say:

GONG XI FA CHAI BITCHES EVERYONE!

Truthfully, everyone's a bitch, me included

I do hope that this year, your positive value will be better and better! Sometimes bad is not always bad, but you know your "enough" value or when enough is enough.

Anyway, thanks Kempinski Jakarta for this cute cupcakes! Good luck with Sweet Boutique, I am sad tho that Kempi Deli is moving out </////3

...and thank you Looks Magazine for sending me this cake from Bakerzin!

Some of the BIG feast that we had for the CNY eve dinner. I cooked everything with mom and trust me there's a lot more! It's just that I shot this for Instagram and swear on the square (first world's problem!)

again,

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

hope you're having a fabulous one!

Cheers everyone for the best of luck!

Li-Sun Exotic Mushroom tour in the old Mittagong railway tunnel

The Mittagong railway mushroom tunnel is unlike anything you've ever seen. Cool, damp and eerily quiet, the long disused train tunnel has been used to grow mushrooms since the 1950s. The tunnel itself stretches for 650 metres, its curved archway soaring way above our heads. Since 1987 the tunnel has been home to Li-Sun Exotic Mushrooms, established by microbiologist Dr Noel Arrold.
