B.F.F

The trees provide some shades if you prefer to sit outside.

Small yet comfy place.

You can chill here and play board games with your friends.

The coffee here was a little too acidic for my taste but was good enough. I preferred the latte over long black that they served over here. The mocha was rich in texture but lack of the chocolate-y taste that I'm looking forward to.

They offered a series of Christmas drinks selection this month including After 8 and peppermint mocha. I opted for the toffee nut latte and the combination was interesting but had an artificial after taste, probably because of the toffee nut flavoring.

Long Black  RM5.00

Toffee Nut Latte RM 8

Mocha RM 8

Latte RM7

Moving on to their dessert, I would say they served pretty good chocolate lava cake and millie crepe cake and the best of of all, the price is much cheaper as compared to other cafes. The apple pie was moist and paired well with the ice cream but I would prefer it with a little more apple fillings. Not complaining with the price I'm paying though.

Apple Pie with Ice Cream - Forgot about the price, should be within RM10

Glasshouse warmed up their pastries before they served which was a plus point! However the doughnut was disappointing as it was stale and very dry after it was warmed up.

Two Face Doughnut RM 3.50

I would say their chocolate lava cake is one of their best dessert and I ordered it every single time. The gooey flowing lava never seems to disappoint!

Chocolate Lava Cake with Ice Cream RM6.50

Look at that!

Besides that, their millie crepe cake was moist and the crepe was very thin. I really like their green tea passion as they added in a little passion fruit jam in between the cream which made the flavor pop.
Their oreo millie crepe cake was pretty good too! ( I don't have the picture of it).

Green Tea Passion Millie Crepe RM 10

Pastries- wise, what I tried was so-so. The giant curry puff had a weird curry taste as if it didn't corporate well enough with the filling. The chicken mince puff was slightly better, but a tad dry. I have yet to try their sandwiches but I can see that there's a handful of people that ordered it during our visits.

Chicken Mince Puff  RM 4.50

How it looks like inside!

Giant Curry Puff  RM 5

All in all, I would say that Glasshouse is worth the try especially their chocolate lava cake!
If you are an outsides, do go after to the guardhouse to ask for a visitor card before entry (no need to write names, you just need to get a pass and leave your driving license maybe?)

Tell me how do you like this place at the comments below!

WHAT YOU NEED
- Dish soap/ shampoo, olive oil, a bowl and paper towels!

You can use dish or hand soap that is antibacterial to remove any bacteria and dirt on your brush. The olive oil is to condition the bristles on the brushes to prevent them from drying out. I usually mix two parts of dish soap to one part of olive oil to prevent my brushes from being too oily after washing.

Once you've gathered your ingredients and dirty brushes, we can begin!


1. Mix both ingredients into the bowl and stir it.
2. Start with your smallest brush, dip just the bristle into the mixture, then swirl the brush onto your palm to work out the dirt in your brush. I usually clean my powder and foundation brush the last.
3. Rinse your brush under your tap water to release out the dirt and cleansing mixture. Make sure the water that you squeeze out from the brush is clear after you've rinse it with water.
4. Use a cloth or paper towel to squeeze out the water from your brush and make sure to reshape your brush as you dry it. Dry it as much as possible with paper towels before you air-dry them.
Lay your brushes on a paper towel and leave it to dry overnight.
Elevate the end of your brushes to let the water flow out of your brushes. This will prevent the water from flowing into the brush which might loosen the bristles and cause them to fall out in future.

I'd recommend washing them every week if its for personal use. I personally wash them right after each use especially when I use it on other people to make sure it is hygienic.
I hope this this post helps to start getting you into the habit of cleaning your brushes more often!

Whipping up a sweet treat can be a piece of cake now even by using a rice cooker only! (pun intended)

Instructions

The cake mix I bought includes batter mix and icing mix.

Pork Leg Rice RM 10

Close Up

Seafood Tom Yum Fried Rice RM10

No need to hunt for the seafood.

Pad Thai RM 8

Their pad thai was crunchy and refreshing, but a little tangy for my liking.
The noodles tasted similar to chinese longevity noodles and the texture was a little gooey. Not something that I expected but it was worth a try.

Pork and Chicken Skewer  RM 3 per stick

Ruay Street served their skewers and barbecues a tad too charred, but nonetheless, they done well with their marinate as it was packed with flavors and served well with the condiments.

Pork Neck RM 8

Their pork neck was even better as it was juicy and sweet. An excellence combination-Thai style char siew.

Pork spring rolls RM6

Tako RM 5 / Thai Iced Coffee RM5

If you wants some sweet treat after the meal, you can try out their tako. It was identical with kuih pelita but better.The cooling coconut and jelly will soothe the heaty, spicy food you took.

They no longer served Red Ruby which happened to be my favourite.

Thai Iced Tea RM 5

 Both of the beverages were sweet and milky.I personally preferred their iced coffee over iced tea as it served with more aroma and fragrant.

All in all, Ruay Street served very decent Thai street food at an affordable price. They even served mookata too!

Will update more on it after I tried it out so stay tuned!

We all have days like these where we just feel so lazy so we rush through the process of removing our makeup without giving it a second thought.
Or, sometimes we are unsure of how to properly remove it, leading our skin to have breakouts, clogged pores, dull and unhealthy skin.

Remove Eye Makeup
Choose an oil based eye makeup remover to make it easier to remove stubborn waterproof mascara and eyeliner!  The one I usually use is a dual phase eye remover that consists of equal water and oil portions.
1. Shake the bottle to mix the oil and water equally, then saturate a cotton pad with the remover.
2. Gently press the cotton pad onto your eyelids for 10 seconds to let it dissolve your makeup.
3. Wipe the cotton pad across your eyelid, you can flip the cotton and reuse the other side again.
4. Repeat the process on our eyebrows as well.
- Do Not rub or tug at your eyelids.
- Avoid using cleansing wipes as it may not be so suitable especially for those with sensitive skin, it may be a little harsh for your eye area.
- Lightly dip a cotton bud into the remover to remove any leftover liner or mascara between your lashes.

Remove Face Makeup
There are different types of removers such as cleansing wipes, cleansing oil, cleansing water, cleansing milk/creams. Pick a cleanser that has makeup removal properties to ensure proper cleansing. Different skin types might need different types of cleanser, so make sure your remover is suitable you! 
2. Cleansing water - I've been using recently and it has been great for my skin. Cleansing water can remove light eye makeup and double up as a cleanser without leaving any sticky feeling. Just saturate your cotton pad and remove your makeup like how you would on your eye areas.
3. Cleansing milk/cream - Cleansing cream has a slightly thicker consistency compared to milk but they're both used the same way. Apply and massage it onto your entire face and rinse it off with water. Depending on brand, some just requires you to wipe off with a cotton pad.
4. Cleansing oil - Cleansing oil is able to remove all types of makeup including your eye makeup. Apply and massage into your skin and rinse off properly with water, you can even use it to remove your eye makeup which makes it very efficient. However, it may take awhile for you to get used to it and requires more rinsing time to ensure your face is totally clean.

Remove Lipstick
We tend to skip this step especially when our lipstick wears off at night. However sometimes we wear long lasting lipstick that stains our lips and doesn't wear of even after a long day.
Don't like oily lip makeup removers? Try using lip balm or Vaseline instead!
1. Apply a layer of lip balm or Vaseline.
2.Leave it on your lips for a few awhile then use a soft cloth or cotton bud to wipe it away, your lipstick will come off together.
3. Reapply another layer of lip balm to moisturize your lips.
I prefer this method as it does not leave my lips feeling oily unlike lip makeup removers.
