Earlier I spotted Shou Xin Fang cute little mochi mooncakes appeared in Isetan newsletter August Issue. I was desperate in wanting to try them, since it's gona be different from the traditional mooncakes that we usually had. The mochis and mooncakes was selling pretty expensive in Isetan. You can check the prices here. For the below box of mix mooncakes with mochi and jellies, cost about RM53, now Buy 1 box Free 1 box in Jusco in One Utama!! Not sure the other outlet having the same promo, but today I was at One Utama to catch the movie preview "Wall Street". Before going into the cinema, I grabbed 2 boxes, and free another 2 boxes. One box only RM25. There are other bigger box with different price also having the same promotion.

Vampire Hype

This season everyone has been talkin about the movie Twilight, New Moon, and the series Vampire Diaries, Buffy the Vampire Slayer etc. Believe me or not, I haven't watch any of those. LOL! But the next vampire movie am gonna watch on top of my list is Let The Right One In, is a Swedish horror/drama film directed by Thomas Alfredson. Based on the novel of the same name by John Ajvide Lindqvist. The film tells the story of a bullied 12-year-old boy who develops a friendship with a vampire child in Stockholm in early 1980s. The film received "The Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature" at 2008 Tribeca Film Festival and "Best European Fantastic Feature Film" from the Swedish Film Institute. Matt Reeves has directed an English language version of this film, it will be released this year.

All talks about vampire movies, what about vampire fashion/beauty makeups?

Yeah! I've bought a vampire inspired nail color!

One weekend, I dropped by Colour Couture, which sells a complete range of OPI nail colors. One thing i love about OPI is their range is so complete and the vast varieties of different shades of color and tone they offered. Awesome! I describe the desired color to the Manicurist. My description was like this "I want a color which looks like dark more towards to black, but is not totally black. It also carries a hint of dark chocolate or dark red." She chose a handful of nail colors and tried them on my nails. Finally I found the color which match all descriptions above!

Tadaaaaaa.......OPI: All A-Bordeaux The Sled Nail Lacquer!
(Holiday Wishes collection, RM59)

Love the dark vampy red or brown color on my nails. It looks Gothic and similar color to dry blood color ya. Woohoo! Dark and super Shiny! Pardon me, as my skill on painting my nails is not superb.

It looks even more vampy at night! Vampire at work!

Do you love my new nail color? What's your favourite OPI color or other brands color?

My next OPI nail color on my top list will be A Good Mandarin Is Hard To Find (Hong Kong collection).

Kuriya Japanese Restaurant

I was at Bangsar Shopping Centre last weekend. It was dinner time, searching high and low for food. Wanted to dine in Chili's, but the waiting list was so long! At last, Me and Mr picked Kuriya to ease our hungry stomach. Kuriya was hidden at a corner of BSC, located between Grand Imperial Chinese Restaurant and 21 Tables and Terrace on the 3rd floor. Kuriya is one of the leading Japanese chain restaurant in Singapore. Kuriya means 'kitchen' in Japanese. I like the dark interior and ambiance of Kuriya, compliments with the fine dining concept.

We decided to order their special dinner set which is the Double Bento Set RM78++

Starter: Salmon salad

Well presented and looking appetizing. Salmon is very fresh, and the tomatoes gives a tender sweetness in the salmon. The thickness of the salmon cut is not too thick and not too thin.

Kani Chawanmushi

I love the design of the cup which holds the Chawanmushi. At first glance, we thought the Chawanmushi was some kind of crab or shark fin's soup. But when you dig your spoon in it, smooth egg custard underneath and topped it with snow crab and tantalising sauce. For once, we saw and tasted an interesting Chawanmushi. :)

The Double Bento set comes with two bentos, Tempura Mori & Stewed Vegetables, and Sushi Mori. The assorted tempura is crispy in texture.

The stewed vegetable consist of stewed potato sunken in salted flavour sauce with enoki mushrooms.

The 2nd bento - Sushi Mori

Very fresh assorted sushi. I reckon that Kuriya serves very fresh raw seafood or fish and very good soba.

Sansai Soba, in chinese is 山菜蕎麦

Never seen such soba so impeccably well presented before. I've gotta give thumbs up for this bowl of sansai soba. The soba is chewy and fragrantly pleasant. Sansai means mountain vegetables, this bowl comes with alot of sansai unlike the ones I had usually give very little. Love it! Oh and it comes with the baby mushrooms also one of my favourite. Kuriya's house speciality actually is their infamous freshly handmade soba.

Lastly, we were serve the dessert of the day - assorted fruits on ice with jellies in the middle.

I find this rather small and disappointing, oh well...I was quite full after sharing with Mr all the food above. The meal was satisfying and the waiters were very attentive, alert and good service after all. Price wise, the food is slightly expensive than the others. I would come back here again for their delicious soba and sashimi!
