Foodporn " Joyeux Cafe Penang ♡

Today, I went to Joyeux Cafe @ 79 Jalan Nagore, Georgetown for lunch with my girlfriends.

Our first time here : ) and we were feeling satisfied with their services. *THUMBS-UP*

Joyeux Cafe's set lunch, drinks, and dessert menus. 

Our set lunch: Salad, Ice Lemon Tea, & Main.

Pesto Prawn ★★★★☆ 

The prawns are so fresh and juicy! 

Carbonara ★★★☆☆ *average*

Tortilla wrap ★★★★✭ (Mine!) 

It tastes just a little bit spicy which I love. :P

Satisfied with the food and the service is definitely the best! 

To be honest, not every cafe or restaurant will notice that you're actually sharing the food with your friend and some of them usually don't serve you an extra tableware for your partner who shares the food with you except you request it from them. But I found this kind of good service in this cafe. =)

Girls being girls, we spent a couple of hours to take a lot of pictures at there and chit chat as well. My friends and I was unexpected the waitress came up and cleaned our table then served us a bottle of water without our requests. =O how intimate service she got right? Must give her a thumb-up! :D

Service is extremely important and it's a key to success in a business, especially in restaurant/cafe. To me, I'll go to a restaurant for food, but I'll go back for their service. =)

Foodporn " Chocolate Ville, Bangkok ♡

Where did you celebrate your Christmas Eve? =)

well.. I celebrated mine at Chocolate Ville, Bangkok with my love. 

 Chocolate Ville is quite far from the city, so I went there by Taxi , however it's very hard to find a Taxi that is willing to fetch us there to travel so far from our Hotel place (City area), also some of the Taxi driver don't even know how to go there as well. So, I do recommend you to pass the Chocolate Ville contact numbers : (083)077-3738 or (081)921-2016 or (081)921-0661 to him/her for asking direction by themselves. =)

OR

You could pass them a map. (I prefer Taxi calls them instead of map, because not every Taxi driver knows very details about every roads in Bangkok =X. But if there are no any choices, map is good for your situation because they might too busy to pick up the phone during busy hour.)

(picture from Facebook-Chocolate Ville)

Try to negotiate the price, it's about 400-500 baht per trip from the city. 

From my experience, I took about an hour to reach the destination, please don't go during the peak hour or during rush hour because every roads would be having traffic jam in that hour =/ Everyone who plans to go, do remember to avoid traffic hour! ;)

We made a reservation once we arrived because there are so many people are coming and start queuing up for reservation during dinner time! 

Chocolate Ville is a concept of mini Europe, you can get into the Europe kind of village atmosphere and environment, there are amazing decoration for you to have your dinner at the park, how beautiful theme park it is!

FYI, they don't really sells any chocolates or candy as it's just a name they called themself as chocolate ville so don't think its a place to have chocolate stuff!

  

 It's such a big restaurant for you to choose which decoration of table you prefer (lake side, inside the house, outdoor, hall, etc) to have your dinner. Nice buildings, decorations and environment for you to have your dinning experience in this Europe kind of village style. I've never been to Europe, so Chocolate Ville is really a beautiful place that attracted me by every single minutes. In addition to that, because its December they decorated the restaurant with full of Christmas feelings at that time, awesome place to celebrate Christmas there. 

Our drinks, his Hoegaarden Rosée and my Lychee Lemon Tea (must try!) 

I've forgotten the name but it's nice! Fresh salmon with Thai style source and those vegetables just makes the dish even more tastier. =P

New York style BBQ chicken. 

Omg, the chicken meat is SHOOO SOFT.

( M U S T T R Y ! ! )

Crispy Calamari with Lime Chili.

Crispy and soury taste that wows your taste buds. Erm or it wows my taste buds during that moment.

BBQ pork buns.

Their food are awesome, we're satisfied with their food and the price aren't expensive too.
Dinning in this such beautiful place, I thought it will be much more expensive but unexpected that our bill are only 1270baht.  
It's totally worth the price right? Great environment, good service, and nice food. How we gonna resist visit this awesome place again? 

FYI, this place has quite a lot of mosquitoes, however insect repellent will be provided upon request :)

 The best thing to do right after your dinner is to take picture of their beautiful buildings with fantastic lighting. There are so many photo spots for you to photo shooting in such a cooling weather. We have a very great moment at there to celebrate our Christmas. My very first year to feel a real Christmas atmosphere and environment.

sorry for the poor quality pictures. (Better bring a camera with you, for a better quality, a better memories. =D)

Around 8pm at that time, they started spraying fake snowflakes in the air from this lighthouse! 
(due to having dinner at that time and could not take a picture of it.)

Btw, here are some pictures to show how BIG Chocolate Ville is! Pictures were I snapped from the lighthouse =)

It's great to be able to be there during such cooling weather.

Skin Care " Olay Regenerist Facial Cleaning Device ♡

Last week I've tweeted that I got this Olay Regenerist from Watson and now I'm going to tell you guys more detail about this Olay facial cleansing device.  

Due to I'm being busy lately, so I've been using it for three times only and I don't always makeup so I felt that It's not necessary for me to use it everyday. 

*My experience of using this facial cleansing device.*

It made me feel great and refreshing after every single time I've used it. Its having a very great deep clean function. I got no doubt of this device after I've been only using it for few times.

- raisin                                                 *checked*

We just need so little ingredients only! btw, the mold is way too expensive that costed my friend RM16. =/

okay, so everything is ready then we can start now! (=

fried the almond until it became a bit golden yellow like the above picture.

Next, get the half of the water in the pot hot, besides that you can put in your chocolate into a bowl.

Then put the bowl into the hot pot and slowly stir it until its melt.

later on, the chocolate has almost melted then add in the almonds and mixed it together.

when the chocolate and almonds have mixed well, we can put into the kitty's molds.

the last step, put into freezer for 15min (depend on your refrigerator).

(sorry for the poor quality image.)
