Can't go to Bora-Bora? Then bath with it!

Not to be misleading but I don't know how the real Bora-Bora smells like but I know that this Bora-Bora soap bar (RM13+) from The Bubble Lab is legitimately relaxing!

bora-bora soap bar the bubble lab
Made from lavender, mandarin orange, patchouli and ylang ylang, Bora-Bora is part of the floral collection of handmade soaps from The Bubble Lab. I love this soap! It's really invigorating thanks to the burst of citrus from the mandarin orange and though I can't really smell the lavender in it, I felt really relaxed after I showered with this. It lathers well too so there will be some bubbles since some people just can't live without them (Me). It felt like I just walked out of a spa (in my small bathroom).

Why didn't I bought their soaps sooner? My showers felt empty until I got this soap. I think they have been making soaps for more than a year already because I have always seen their stall at bazaars and flea markets for years already. But I never bought from them at all until last week's bazaar in Publika.

But I'm glad I got this and it's one of their bestsellers too! Now I know why! Be right back while I step into my shower with my Bora-Bora.

I can't wait to finish this bar so that I can try other soaps from The Bubble Lab!

Sweet and yummy waffles at Wafflemeister

Two words, Belgian Waffles! 
After dinner with the fam-bam at Umai-ya, our nosed lead us to Wafflemeister because everybody should have dessert after dinner right? But really you can smell the sweet warm waffles from about 5 stores away!

Looking good!

Classic
My little sister just likes her stuff plain with a light drizzle of honey. But it's pretty good if you like simple desserts!

Strawberry Heaven
I love this! I think strawberries and cream will always be a winning combination. The tart strawberries just balances out the sweetness of everything else.

Dream Team
You get to pick which gelato that you want on top of the waffle. We went for the Macadamia gelato. You can add on more waffle toppings at a price.

I like the freshly made waffles here! It's more denser than the waffles you can get in Inside Scoop so you get more texture out of it. The waffles are pricey with a price range of above RM12 if I'm not mistaken. But one piece of it could satisfy your sweet tooth portion of your belly nicely!

Awesome maki's in Umai-ya

Thanks to the really awesome discount vouchers that went rampant years ago, I had the chance to nom on the wide variety of makis' that they have. The makis in Umai-ya are the best that I ever had but did their quality remain the same now that we are in 2015? I say YES!

My little sister and I treated the fam-bam to a meal at Umai-ya and sure enough we ordered the makis and with other type of dishes this time. Also they ran out of avocados that time so expect less green peeking out of the sushi. Check out the makis that we ordered. Sadly I can't remember the names of the makis but you can always use my pictures for reference when you're looking through the menu.
This was yummy! I think tuna mayo is an underrated sushi ingredient because it's not considered as an expensive ingredient compared to the raw tuna.


Deep fried soft shell crab sushi with some fish roe too is for those who likes their sushi crispy! The sauce in the middle is also really nice with a nice amount of heat to it.

Some tuna, salmon and tempura flakes wedged inside a sushi covered in bonito flakes which tasted nice if you are a fan of sashimi sushi.

We ordered a wide variety of makis to try as many as we can! This one has soft shell crab inside with some cucumber and it's topped with unagi slices and fish roe on top. Really yummy too!

This is chawanmushi inside egg shells and topped with some fish roe, chicken and smaller fish roe. The chawanmushi is not overcooked and it's really smooth too!

Some fresh Salmon, Butterfish and Sweet prawns sashimi to add some natural sweetness to our belly. 

Cha Soba.
This came in a huge bowl of ice to keep the noodles cool. Nothing much to shout about here.

Sukiyaki. Their sukiyaki is already cooked beforehand so no flames involved but you get to add the meat and egg separately. Best to cook the meat and egg when it is still hot.

We ordered the Beef Tongue which came as a Cook It Yourself (CIY) hot grill. It was a decent portion for the 5 of us to eat about 1-2 slices each.

It's really tender and actually sweet! Best if you can have it rare or medium rare so it's more juicy!
