Malaysia is generally a tourist friendly country with people who will go extra miles to accomodate visitors. But first time visitors might feel slightly overwhelmed on the first visir. Here’s a brief guide on things you should know before visiting Malaysia:

1. Malaysia is a tropical country and the weather can be quite overwhelming for some. Please make sure that you pack up with you light clothing, comfortable shoes, insect repellent and plenty of sunscreens. Do keep keep yourselves hydrated at all times as there are times that the weather in Malaysia can be scorching hot.

2. Malaysia’s national religion is Islam and therefore prominiscous activities and public displays of affection is generally frowned upon. No kissing in public, especially in the more conservative states in Malaysia like Kelantan, Kedag and Terengganu unless you would like to be fined by the authories.

3. Driving in Malaysia is not that straught forward. To drive in Malaysia, you’ll need an International Drivers Permit but it is recommended that you take taxis to move about as it is easier. Alternatively, you may use ride sharing apps like Uber to move about. Ride sharing service like Uber and Grabcar are available in most states in Malaysia. Should you decide to ride a taxi, please insist on using the meter.

4. You must have a certificate of inoculation for yellow-fever if you’re coming from affected countries. Vaccinations for cholera and small pox are not necessary.

5. Before buying a branded item at an individual shop, be careful of its authenticity as bootleg products are widely available.

6 . Tipping is not practiced or expected at eateries. It’s your prerogative if you do want to tip.

7. Keep your belongings safely with you while you’re out sightseeing.

8. Avoid dodgy alleys, grimy bars and suspicious lanes and be wary of approaching locals selling services that are suspiciously not from legitimate providers.

9. Book your acommodation prior to arrival for best deals. There are plenty of sites online that’s offering great deals for for hotels and guesthouses in Malaysia. Take advantage of these deals for great savings.

10. It is important to note that two of Malaysia’s major airport; KLIA 1 and KLIA 2 are two different places. Not to be confused with KLIA 1 which is catered for international flights, KLIA 2 is mainly used for domestic flights. Should you want to travel domestically within Malaysia, the right place you should go to is KLIA 2. Although KLIA 1 caters to internatinal flight and KLIA 2 is for domestic use and budget carrier flights. KLIA 2 is much more vast in size and can be quite confusing to move around in there. Should you need an assistance and tips in moving around in KLIA 2, you may visit this site HERE. The site contains everything you need to know about KLIA 2. The website is not in any way affliated with any Malaysian Airports Associated but it was built by volunteers to help visitors in finding information on the largest budget carrier airport in Malaysia. You may find infos on flights, accomodation, tips and whatnot here. So if you are a first timer in KLIA2, this site is your best bet.

Malaysia is generally a pleasant country and most Malaysians speaks English well, so there’s no need to feel intimidated during your visit in Malaysia. Wear a smile at all times when you approach the locals and you’d find your favours being returned in no time. Apart from the friendly locals, Malaysia is also a food heaven. Do take advantage of your stay by sampling the wide varieties of food the country have to offer.

Ready to visit Malaysia? Well then, I bid you Selamat Datang and enjoy your stay in Malaysia.

Sheila Amzah to Mesmerize Audience in Resorts World Genting

Pic credit: @Ellie Toh

Malaysian singer-songwriter Shila Amzah, popularly dubbed “Asia’s Sweetheart,” will soon light up the stage at Resorts World Genting with her unique brand of music that has won her international fame across Asia.

Shila Amzah “My Journey” Concert in Malaysia 2017, to be held at the Arena of Stars on 26 August 2017, 8.30pm, will showcase her versatility and will include hits that have won her critical acclaim even in highly competitive markets like Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The concert’s main concept is “My Journey”, which happens to be the title of her latest album. It is a fitting concept that highlights the milestones she has chalked up thus far in the world of music, from the time she first began to sing professionally till now when her rising popularity will see her staging her second concert in Malaysia.

Among the accolades that have confirmed Shila’s success in the international Mandopop market are Best Female Singer at the 15th Global Chinese Music Awards, Female Artist of the Year (Hong Kong and Taiwan) at the 2015 Guangzhou Music Awards, and Best Female Singer (Hong Kong and Taiwan) at the 2016 Music Pioneer Awards. Her achievements also include being nominated World’s Best Female Artiste at the World Music Award.

Little wonder Shila was made Malaysia’s Tourism Ambassador last year, her contributions towards promoting the country through music deservedly earning official recognition. She was also honoured at the 20th Malaysian Music Awards, receiving the Kembara Award (International Music Breakthrough Award), an award given to Malaysian artists that have performed internationally and have helped promote Malaysian songs to the world. Shila became the youngest honoree of the award—she is only 26 years old—after having become the champion of Asian Wave (2012), a reality Chinese singing competition held in Shanghai.

Standing out with her colourful hijab and her emotive ballads, Shila can claim to be not just a singer-songwriter, but also a record producer, actress and businesswoman all rolled into one. The young singer gained recognition very early in her career—her first real success began with her single, Patah Seribu,  receiving Pop Song of the Year at the 19th Malaysian Music Awards. The single is from her second pop studio album, Sha-Hila.

After that in 2015, Shila, whose real name is NurShahila binti Amir Amzah, brilliantly charted her journey into the Chinese music market—stamping her mark in the Mandopop industry in Hong Kong by releasing some new singles. Her latest album, My Journey, released last year, confirms her continued popularity. Shila also successfully established her second record label and a global management company called Shilala (HK) Limited. Not surprisingly, along with being dubbed “Asia’s Sweetheart,” other honorific titles came her way, including “Princess of Music” and “National Treasure of Malaysia.”

Tickets to Shila Amzah “My Journey” Live in Malaysia 2017 are priced at RM318 (VIP), RM248 (PS1), RM188 (PS2), RM138 (PS3) and RM108 (PS4). Genting Rewards Card (GRC) members are entitled to a 10% discount when they purchase tickets by cash or credit card, and Genting Points redemption. This is applicable for all price scales. Admission is one ticket per person applicable to adults, children of all ages and infants.

Coffee Brewing Made Easy with Arissto Premium Coffee Machine

Are you a coffee or tea person? I’m pretty much a tea person while my husband is a coffee person. My blog’s name, ‘Over A Cuppa Tea’, suggest that much, but these days, I pretty much do fancy both and has taken quite a liking to cafe hopping to hunt for coffees or simply chilling in the cafe with my husband over a cuppa coffee or two. There’s simply something charming and romantic about drinking coffee with your loved ones in a quiet cafe somewhere. And of course, inspirational too. I noticed that I’m much more productive with my work whenever I do it while I’m in a cafe and I eventually yearn more and more to enjoy the same experience at home.

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, but unfortunately for me, not all coffees are made equal and enjoying a satisfyingly delicious cup of coffee in the comfort of my home or office is almost impossible. I can never completely imitate my favourite barista’s brew at home. At least, not with those 3 in 1 pre-packed coffees sold in convenient stores. While they do offer me some caffeine fix, they do not actually satiate my cravings for real brewed coffees.

Fortunately for me though, there’s a solution for my dilemma; Arissto Premium Coffee Machine.

video.labnol, img.labnol {max-width:100%; width: 100% !important; height: auto !important;}

Pic credit: @Ellie Toh. I was recently introduced to Arristo Premium Coffee Machine. The machine is pretty compact and the design lets you fit it into any small corner of your choice. And unlike the traditional coffee makers, this coffee machine uses coffee capsules instead of coffee beans.

video.labnol, img.labnol {max-width:100%; width: 100% !important; height: auto !important;}

Pic credit: @Ellie Toh. There’s currently a total 7 capsules being offered by Arissto to coffee lovers.

video.labnol, img.labnol {max-width:100%; width: 100% !important; height: auto !important;}

Pic credit: @Ellie Toh. Arissto Coffee Capsules. Each of ARISSTO’s signature flavors is expertly crafted by Italian Coffee Masters. They carefully sourced from the highest quality Arabica coffee beans from the mountain at an altitude of 2,000 meters in Brazil, Columbia, Costa Rica, Guatamala, Togo, Kenya, Ethiopa and many other countries to create a variety of unique ARRISTO Signature Flavours.

ARISSTO SUNRISE  – A perfect balance of nuttiness and richness, it’s spirited and pleasing. This makes it a perfect match for Americano and many other types of coffee. My personal favourite as this flavour is the best choice to brew a cup of Macchiato.

ARISSTO PASSION -Features a strong body with a robust taste. And if I were to describe it, I have to say that it is almost similar to dark chocolate. Due to its strength and is less affected by milk, it is suited for coffee variations such as Latte or Cuppacino.

ARISSTO IN LOVE – features coffee with medium acidity and body. This coffee has a deep sweet flavour with low bitterness level. Highly recommended to those who prefers sweetness in their coffees.

ARISSTO PEACE– 100% composed of premium Columbia Supremo coffee beans, it’s simply soothing. Highly recommended for those who fancy coffee like the Americano or Colombian style.

ARISSTO LONELY– Blended from the finest beans from 5 continents, the richness of this high intensity roast provides a balanced taste with notes of bitterness. Great for those who loves absolute bitterness with lingering aftertaste in their coffee.

ARISSTO MOONLIGHT – A perfect balance of satisfying medium body and crisp acidity, it expresses a light rounded blend of exquisite fresh fruits.

ARISSTO MILK– This is not a coffee capsule, per se, but rather a milk capsule companion for the rest of the capsules.

The machine is very easy to use. Here’s how you operate the machine:

1. Fill up the water tank with water, preferably filtered water and if you want, water infused with any flowers of your choice if you want a cup of coffee laced with flowery taste.

2. Flip on the switch at the bottom left near the water tank.

3. Fit in the capsule of your choice.

4. Place a cup at the machine

5. Press the button and voila, your coffee will be ready in 30 seconds.

A Peruvian Gastronomic Experience at Brasaria, Jaya One Petaling Jaya

It was a Sunday and I was feeling quite overwhelmed after a long day at work. Yes. You are reading that right. As a freelancer, I don’t get weekend off. Holidays are usually my working day and last Sunday was no difference. Food is usually a balm to my tired soul and therefore, I’m constantly on the lookout to indulge in good food. Food always makes me feel better and happier, even when I had a bad day. It is like eating all my unhappiness away.

I wanted something different and having heard from my friend Hanny Abdullah about this Peruvian chicken joint, Brasaria, I thought I’d give it a go. From the sunny coasts of Lima, across the Andes to the Amazon, Peru’s diverse landscapes are rivaled only by its culinary culture. Considered as one of South America’s gastronomic touchstones, food cultures from the world over have melded with local cuisine to form unique hybrids that are authentically Peruvian.

Here’s some of the items that my family and I tried from the menu:

Pollo a la Brasa, a delicious pit roasted chicken that has come to be synonymous with Peruvian food worldwide. This chicken dish are marinated overnight in a blend of spices and then turned gently over a live fire. You are supposed to squeeze a dash of lime juice over the crackled skin but to me, it is as flavourful as it is. Served with the signature Brasaria Aji sauce, I assure you that you will be hooked and would want a repeated experience. Available in three different sizes: El Nino, El Gordo and El Jefe, diners can choose between quarter, half or a whole chicken. You may customise your spice level too – for a milder kick, opt for their Aji Mild flavour, but if you’re in the mood for a more fiery taste, I definitely recommend the Aji Hot.

Brasaria Rice. This is actually Peruvian yellow rice with raisins. Tastewise? Well, I’m not a big fan of raisins in my rice, so this doesn’t exactly suit my palate. But my husband and son are fine with this dish. They seems to like it but I gave this a pass after a spoonful in favour of the Pesto Spaghetti.

Pesto Spaghetti is one of the new item on the menu over here in Brasaria. The taste is all right. Not overwhelming with herbal or greeny taste and seems to be everyone’s favourite that night. Well, at least it’s mine. I practically slurped everything off the plate.

El Sánguche is a sandwich dish where pulled roasted chicken is wrapped in a Ciabatta bun and served with a side of cassava chips. Highly recommended for those who wants a quickie, fuss free meal. Simply delicious and I wish I had two of these instead of one.

Elote, or corn on the cob is a popular street food in Mexico, although it is frequently served at home prepared in the same way. It is customarily consumed on a stick, or by grasping the husk of the cob that has been pulled down to form a “handle” but here in Brasaria it is served differently and is slathered with Aji Mild sauce, chilli powder and a healthy amouny of grease. This simple dish is very flavourful and highly addictive. I definitely approve this on my dining table.

Latin Trio a a triple dose of fiber. This dish offers roasted sweet potatoes, plantain and pineapples for you to munch on. Pretty satisfying dish even on its own.

Salchipapas. If you are looking for something light to munch on, simply orfer Salchipapas. This is simply deep fried french fries with slices of chicken frankfurters served with a dipping sauce of your choice.

El Pollo Pie was to die for. This is a pie dish featuring roasted chicken filling bedded in a buttery, flaky pie crust topped with Aji sauce. Served with a side of salad, this is easily one of those unforgettable comfort dish that you can order at Brasaria.

Tres Leches Cake, literally translated to English as the Three Milk Cake is a light, airy sponge cake soaked with a mixture of three kinds of milks: evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. I don’t have sweet tooth and therefore I did not fancy this as much as other dishes at Brasaria. My son however, polished the cake off and asked for my portion. I guess this is good as long as you like sweet food.

Overall the dining experience over here is pleasant. Good food with affordable price, great companion, what more can I ask for? The only thing that is missing is probably just a Piñata fiesta. I’d really love to smack a papier màché and get some candies from it over here.

Affordable LEGO Found at Carousell

Have you heard about Carousell? Yes? No? I have no idea what Carousell is all about until a friend of mine, who is an avid Carousell user told me about it.

Carousell is is an online community platform for selling and buying your used goods. Buying items through Carousell online platform is very easy. Access to available items for sale is made through smartphones or laptops / desktops.

Using Carousell is pretty easy. All you need to do is register an account. You may do so via email or your FB account.

Then, browse for your choice of items.There are wide varieties of pre-loved items being sold at Carousel, ranging from clothings to household apparels, but what caught my interest the most are the children’s toys that are sold over there.

The stuff are mostly pre-loved items but they are mostly still in a very good condition. Simply click ‘BUY NOW’ to make a purchase. Easy as 1, 2, 3 I must say. But of course, do ensure that you have a good internet connection, otherwise your purchase will not be processed successfully.

One of the soft toy that caught my attention, a pink Alcapa

Reasonably priced toys. I was looking for a LEGO set for my son the other day and guess what? I saw plenty on sale too over here.

Check this out, people. Assorted LEGO set for just RM25. That’s a steal, I must say. Usually they cost much more than this. I’m definitely getting this for my son.

Anyway, if you are parents to newborns and babies, they also have baby toys on sale.

One of the baby toys that I spotted.

And here’s another one that I thought not too bad for parents with newborns.

I must say that I’m impressed with what the Carousell community members have to offer on the site. Not only the goods are still in tip-top condition but goods are sold at a very affordable price too.

Let’s just face it, sometimes buying pre-loved items have its advantage, especially for parents whose babies and children are growing up rapidly. There is no sense buying expensive toys only to discover that the kids will either outgrown them or lose interest in them in about a week time and the toys will be left unwanted in the corner of the room.

When it comes to buying babies children’s toys, I personally think buying from Carousell is a smarter move. I highly recommend Carousell for your online shopping needs, especially for parents who constantly need to cater to their children’s entertainment needs.
