Foodie # : > Grilled Pork Chop Set > Zinox Bar & Grill

Happy New Year 2016 to all my family, love ones, friends and my lovely blog readers as well!!

If you have been following my primary blog, 

I have just came back from a long holiday.

And today is actually my first day of back-to-work.

Upon reaching the office in the morning...

I am being invited to join a small dinner together with my long-time-no-see colleagues.

Thanks to them, I suddenly get the chance to write my first foodie post in 2016.

We decided to try out The Western Menu in Zinox Bar & Grill.

It's situated at 1st Floor, Block H of Plaza 333 Millenium.

The restaurant is very full tonight! Despite it's a Thursday night.

 We were given an outside table after being put on the waiting list for 25 minutes.

One important advice from me : It is very advisable to make a table reservation first via phone call before you come. Or else, you will be put the waiting list by first come first serve basis.

 But the waitress who serve me is very kind enough to calm us for waiting outside.

Although I seems like being a little heavy questioning,

She still answers all my questions politely with a smile.

I should have asked for her name, then I can highly recommend her in my blog. HAHA.

For tables situated outdoor, they have an extra service bell being fixed on top of the table lamp. 

Which is actually a must for all restaurant, to improve their service.

I really don't like it when I have to wave my hand and call for service over and over again, 

but still they didn't notice me at all in the end.

For tables situated indoor, no service bell but the night light is being switched on :)

Front and back page of the menu was taken from Zinox Bar & Grill Facebook page here : https://www.facebook.com/Zinox-Bar-Grill-1661829017393581/timeline

After placing all of our orders,
We were moved to the indoor table, Thank God :)
It was kinda dimmed inside with all the red tanglung lights.
The whole environment looks reddish in colour.

One big projector screen and one TV is provided inside the restaurant.
Not only the place is suitable for dinner,
the owner is also making the place suitable for chill out session with buddies too especially during football seasons.

Our food start to arrive one by one after approximately 10 minutes.
Mine appears to be the last, only arrived after 25 minutes.
Gawd I am already starving at the end of edge. LOL

The first one on the top left of the photo is Bird's grilled chicken chop, which costs RM 15.90.
The second one on the top right belongs to Shirley, which is the crispy chicken chop, costs RM 15.90 too.
The third menu at the bottom left is Lina's grilled lamb chop, which costs RM 19.90.
While the last one on the photo is my grilled pork chop, costs RM 15.90.

All tasted so-so only for me.
I personally think that both the grilled chicken chop and lamb chop are more preferable in taste.
But my marketing supervisor, Bird strongly suggested that the lamb chop tasted the best among all of it.
The crispy chicken chop need a little more improvement in my opinion,
The fried flour layer is too thick and the over fried texture has covered the tenderness of the chicken.
As for my grilled pork chop, the meat is seriously too thick,
Causing the overload harden texture,
My teeth instantly work as a chopper and meat grinder for the whole night.
I bet I have lost at least 1-2 kgs on my cheeks tonight due to the excessive jaw exercise. HAHAHA.

Since it is going to be Bird's birthday tomorrow,
We decided to give her a little celebration in advance.
Due to the ''no-chance-&-no-time'' for preparations,
I just simply grab a muffin and some macaroons from the nearby bakery house while I am on the way back home.
It only looked good inside the photo, but the taste is very very off.
Definitely will not recommend it to anyone at all, sorry.



A series of the birthday girl's photos.

The night will never be complete without a group wefie.

It was a night full of crazy laughter, heavy dinner and light beer,
And together we released all the office stresses and issues.
5kgs of weight directly being drained off from all of our heads tonight!
Thank you once again to Bird who was the sole driver of the night, and Happy Birthday Bird!
May you stay awesome always and be blessed with many returns :)

Haul # : Purchase from Watsons

Finally, I am back from my long holiday overseassssss.

And yehh, it's time for that skincare shopping spree time!

I kinda missed Boots in UK. A LOT!

Cus the local Watsons doesn't provide full range and complete series of a large varieties of different products.

Bio-Essence Miracle Bio Water, RM 51.50

This one was actually influenced and recommended by Candy, the pretty bride in Johor.

Noticed that my skin was super dry lately,

especially after the trip back from UK.

She suggested that I tried out this high hydration mist for my face.

Sally Hansen Nail Enamel Remover, RM 15.90

CNY is around the corner, 

I have this random urge to color my nails in pretty bright red everyday.

So, a new enamel remover is badly needed.

Lip Ice Tinted Lipbalm, RM 11.50

My lips and chin, being the most badly affected area.

I can even feel the spicy sensation throughout the whole day daily when the skin around my lips peeled off by itself :(

It was that bad until my whole lips got swollen. **Sobss**

Bio-Essence 24K Bio-Gold Cleanser + Gold Water Value Pack, RM 92.90

This is my whole-time shocker.

I didn't realized about the price of it until I was at the counter paying up for the total price of my haul.

I intend to try up something new,

since my current facial cleanser is coming to the end of its service.

But I didn't know that it would cost me my fortune tonight.

You better treat my skin well for this!

HAHAHAHAHA.

Haul # : Purchase from Hermo

I am very anxious whether this parcel would arrive before Saturday,

and Yes! It arrives today, perfectly in time!

I first came to know about this product online when I was watching some korean entertainment show,

And this advertisement just pops right out.

And intentionally, I wanted to buy it right before my trip to UK,

So I can "test drive" it in London.

But time was running short by then.

Well, it's still never too late now anyway. HAHA.

Introducing my long awaited new member of my makeup pouch :

Perfect Skin One Shot Cover Stick Foundation

Hermo's box packaging.

New look for 2016? Haven't been purchasing for Hermo for a long time,
So I actually forgot what did their packaging box used to look like.

Althea website doesn't have it so I bought mine from www.hermo.my.

It was RM59.00 when I bought it.

Still expensive compared to the time I checked a month ago.

Received 2 free gifts from Hermo this time.

The foundation stick is kinda like the sensational hit online since few months ago in asian countries.

It got so famous until they have already release the third generation of it.

I have already longing to buy this since the first one was launch.

The foundation stick is smaller than what I have actually expected.

In the photo it looked so chubby and shorter,

But in reality its slimmer and longer.

It has this pink ribbon on the tip of the cover.

Giving it a cute and girly look over the classy glass-liked body.

This is actually what makes the foundation stick special.

It has an essence stick in the middle of the foundation stick.

So when you actually apply it on your face,

You will receive a combination of foundation and essence that moisturizes and evenly covers your impurities at the same time.

How brilliant is that right?

And at the other end of the foundation stick,

It has a removable built in brush that tilts 15' degrees for a better swipe over the face.

Helps to spread your foundation more even and adds on the conveniences.

And when you are ready to clean it,

You only need to remove it from the body.

The product has a 98% of good reviews.

I am actually quite excited to take a try on mine tomorrow.

Hopefully my skin doesn't irritate and show good results as well :)
