Jia Shin Lee: November 2021

City Gardening 3.0 at The Linc KL

by Jia Shin Lee - November 28, 2021

City Gardening KL is back again and this round they have grown bigger compared to when they first started, if you're curious, read up my previous post City Gardening Min Fair Christmas Market HERE City Gardening 3.0 will have more than 20 booths for you to shop at over 3 floors, if you're a pant lover this is a plant market you should not miss!

If you’re wondering what is City Gardening 3.0, it is a plant market that started in the year 2020, they bring together local homegrown vendors for a one-of-a-kind plant retail therapy. At their plant market, you'll get the chance to shop the latest plants in trend, enjoy rare plants display, I was amazed by the rare cactus from Kedai Kak Suri, you can also get your gardening supplies recommended by the vendors or try out Shamrock Botanics, they've been my favorite so far, there are also unique pots, plant-related accessories and many more!

City Gardening 3.0 was held on 4th till 7th November 2021 at The Linc KL from 10am till 10pm and as usual, I had a great time shopping there and I was really swept off my feet with the variety of plants in all sizes available and all-around rare plants that I've never seen before!

Fans of Anthurium check out Meow Plants they've also got gorgeous staghorn ferns that I was debating whether or not to bring home, another one of my favorites has got to be May's Nepenthes Malaysia, they've got the cutest carnivorous plants for you to choose from and brought home 2 species - pitcher & venus flytrap!

Found this beautiful Begonia Ferox from @baloo.jungle & Begonia White Ice from @plantygoddesgarden to my Begonia Collection 💚

City Gardening KL is my one-stop plant market for sure, it sure feels good to support the local vendors and the plant community like Plant Swag & Klang Valley Plant Acquisition for plant exchange activities, since I only came on Saturday I only manage to join Plant Swag.

To learn more about the City Gardening KL visit their social media heard that there's another event coming up in December just before the year ends, go ahead and swing by and bring a little piece of botanical goodness home with you.

Fly Me To Penang's Camping Themed Cafe

by Jia Shin Lee - November 26, 2021

It's the end of November 2021 and I can't believe how this year just flew past me, it was just tensed, busy, busy, and tense, the lockdown really affected me mentally and physically but whatever it is, it['s coming to an end, let's look towards a brighter path.

Penang has always been my favorite state and I'm really grateful for my friends over there, whenever I visited for work they'll always make time for me and be my companion. Anway we needed a spot to relax and we found Fly Me To, a camping themed cafe located on the rooftop of Wow Hotel, parking is not easy as the hotel doesn't have parking but you can check out the open space car park at the top of the street and walk a lil to the hotel.

We arrived before the evening around late 4pm, Fly Me To has a boho-chic vibes to it, the interior is a glasshouse concept while the exterior has 5 tent seating, we didn't make a booking but lucky enough there was one last tent available, so we got to experience the vibes.

There's a catch to dine inside the tent a minimum spend of RM150 of 90 minutes, we stayed a lil longer they weren't too fussy about that. Each tent has a private air cond but it was still pretty hot thou, unfortunately, Malaysia's heat is just not so comfortable but what the heck it's for the gram 😂

Their menu is basic comfort food like pasta, steaks and snacks & bites, the main attention is focused on the concept and decor of the cafe, which is fine with me because that's what I came for anyway, as for drinks there's a variety of coffee, tea, alcohol, and photogenic rooftop coolers.

Here's their soft launch menu, wish they'll elaborate more so customers know what to expect.

We ordered their Picnic Basket RM58 comes with a variety of finger food like nuggets, truffle fries, cheese rice balls, potato croquet, these were pretty good for 3 of us and all of us liked it #approved

For mains we had Truffle Carbonara Hotate Ikura Pasta RM36 and Creamy Butter Seabass RM36, I do not have much to comment, they just weren't up to my expectation. As for drinks, I can't miss out on the aesthetically pleasing drinks, got ourselves the Gigolo Duck RM22 which is pineapple fizz with a cute duck on top of it & Rainbow Baby RM26 a yogurt alike drink over colorful ice.

I like the touch of vibes at Fly Me To, the waiters were attentive, the food wasn't really appealing to me but it's still their soft launch menu and everyone deserves a chance, will check them out again, price wise is not entirely pocket friendly but the boho-chic vibes is a great attraction, reservations are recommended if you'll like to experience the outdoor tents, otherwise the glasshouse can be a pretty spot for pictures as well.

(AI) PLACEN+ Anti Aging Serum by SCIENCE ON SKIN (SOS)

by Jia Shin Lee - November 15, 2021

Technology from the skincare industry is moving faster than ever, if you're a skincare junkie like me here's another skincare brand you need to know - SCIENCE ON SKIN (SOS)

(AI) PLACEN+ is a highly concentrated serum that's engineered by SCIENCE ON SKIN (SOS) to reduce fine lines and wrinkles significantly, improve skin texture, reduce hyperpigmentation and scarring, refine pores, and to give an overall smoother, radiant skin we all desire.

What is (AI) PLACEN+ ?

(AI) PLACEN+ is a 100% bioengineered serum-containing human-like placental growth factors which we call PGF. If you are worried about the origin of the placenta, or mention of the word placenta gives you a pause, there's nothing to worry about because (AI) PLACEN+ is not made from humans, animals, or plants.

With the same genetic structure as the growth factors in human placenta, (AI) PLACEN+ is much more effective at penetrating and improving the skin. Furthermore, the absence of animal contents means it can be safely used even by vegans. (AI) PLACEN+ is also 100% free of parabens, fragrances, alcohols, silicones, surfactants, mineral oils, and artificial colorings.

Product Claims

(AI) PLACEN+ contains all your skin needs in a single vial to:

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles

• Stimulates collagen synthesis and firms skin

• Improves skin texture

• Reduces hyperpigmentation and scars

• Reduces blemishes and refines pores

• Promotes a smooth and radiant skin

Now that we all are cleared up on what exactly this (AI) PLACEN+ by SCIENCE ON SKIN (SOS) does for the skin, it’s time to share my personal experience with this product!

Application

(AI) PLACEN+ by SCIENCE ON SKIN (SOS) introductory pack comes in two hygienically packed 3ml vials which is good for up to 6 days use for day & night.

The product texture is watery, clear, and translucent, there's no smell to it which I love. Shake the vial each time before the application and apply a thin layer over your face and neck area,

When applied to the skin, I could feel the tightening effect, the serum absorbs quickly into the skin within seconds, and it didn't leave me a sticky or oily face, I could quickly follow up with my usual skincare routine.

My experience & results

At first, I was unsure if this serum works, it was hydrating but in terms of anti-aging and repairing, I wasn’t doing much for me. To my surprise, in two weeks when I did my comparison, and I am truly impressed.

The Serum had worked, it tighten my pores, lessen my laugh lines, reduce my dark eyes circle, (AI) PLACEN+ by SCIENCE ON SKIN (SOS) is a great product worth having, those who need the extra help should really give this a try.

About SCIENCE ON SKIN (SOS)
