Home cooked meal @ Eco Wine

If you pass around Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park, you will be able to spot Eco Wine who not only sell alcohol beverages but also now serve delicious home cook style food.

Don't be afraid to walk in not wanting to drink, but feast on their super reasonably priced Lunch sets.

Served on Weekdays 12pm-2.30pm, every set comes with a soup & tea.

Choices of tea include:

1. Rockin Rooibos Tea (Hot)

2. Zen Green Tea & Lemon Tea (Hot)

3. Minty Green Tea (Hot)

4. Ice Lemon Tea

Always not knowing what to eat during lunch and squabble with your colleagues on where is the most valuable lunch set around? Well, you have found the place. Eco Wine serves an extensive range of menu to savour on which include:

Sweet & Sour Chicken Rice (RM11.90)

This brought me right back at home. The sweet and sour combo was just nice with the juicy chicken. Plus, look at the portion. The egg, rice, and huge portion of meat and vege was more than enough for one person, plus there's soup and drink!

Homestyle Ginger Chicken (RM10.90) 

I'm not a fan of ginger hehe but this is a dish Chinese family cannot run away from. However, the ginger taste and smell is not very strong, just how I liked it and the brown sauce was tasty and overall mouth watering.

Gong Po Chicken Rice (RM10.90)

Now, you must be wondering, these are all Chinese dishes. Well, because the chef is Chinese and I can assure you, these are all authentic Chinese home cooked style dishes. The chef nailed it with the Gong Po chicken rice with a little bit of spice and if you miss home cooked food when staying away from your mom, this is the place to have your lunch.

Fiery Roasted Pork Rice (RM11.90)

If you like your dish sweet and spicy, this should be your pick. The black sauce was sweet and salty together with the cili padi for that added extra kick makes this dish wholesome. Love that all dishes comes with vege garnishing so it makes it healthy for a balanced diet.

Pork Curry Rice (RM11.90)

My favourite of all dishes! And a group of 5 of us agreed that this was the star dish. This is a must try in my opinion. The signature pork curry rice comes with a huge serving of pork with potato and a side hard boiled egg. The pork was juicy and tender and the best was the generous amount of delicious thick curry sauce to eat with rice which is the whole purpose of it haha! Wallop clean the whole plate ok!

Grilled chicken rice with black pepper sauce (RM11.90)

Grilled chicken rice with brown sauce (RM11.90)

Both are the same dishes with difference sauces. If you like black pepper, choose the black pepper sauce otherwise have the brown sauce dish. Personally, I prefer the black pepper one because I like spicy hehe but the both sauces were thick, with a balance of sweet and salty.

One thing about home cooked style dish is that it is less oil, healthier and chef has assured us that she did not add any MSG into her cooking which was surprising considering how yummy everything were =)

Now, of course, when you see the name of the restaurant is called Eco Wine, they obviously serve alcohol beverages. But their selling point here is their craft beers. Craft beers are not those over commercialized beers but those made in a traditional way by a small brewery imported from different countries abroad.

Current promotion is RM99 for 4 bottles of Tiny Rebel craft beer.

Craft beers are best to go with some snacks served here as well.

Eenie meenie miny mo.

I have never tried any of these before so just tried a little of everything.

My favourite though was this Stay Puft Marshmallow Porter which taste stout-ish. The craft beers don't have the lingering bitter taste and smooth texture.

Skewers- minimum order of 2 plates:
Seafood Buta Roll ( RM20/2 sticks)

Shishamo (RM20/3 sticks)

Yakitori (RM12/2sticks)

Coin Meat (RM20/2 sticks)

Lamb Shioyaki (RM22/2sticks)

Buta Shioyaki (RM16/2 sticks)

That right-est coin meat which is a honey glazed Chinese dried meat was my favourite! Sweet, tasty and before you know, you would have popped a few into your mouth without realising it. The meat was not too hard and best for beer bites! Shishamo(fish in sticks) were grilled nicely as well and the males in the group whacked the chicken skewers, pork and lamb. Good to nibble on during drinking sessions.

More snackssss:

Chicken popcorn (RM18)

Very addictive!

 Fish Cake (RM15)

Signature seafood meatball (RM20)

Ohh, this was good! It's actually homemade and the fish meat is quite significant so don't worry because the ingredients are freshly picked and made!

Chilli French Fries (RM10)

Porky Fries (RM18)

Nom, nom, nom. Porky fries was a fan favourite. Fantastic as a beer bite! Crispy and yummy.

After 6pm, Eco Wine serves dinner as well. There are Chinese food, Thai food and Western food on the menu. But let me highlight their 2 signature dishes.

Braised Pork Tofu Egg (RM22)

The black sauce seeped into the meat and tofu making it delicious. The chef put her heart into this by patiently double slow boiling it until the sauce thickens and the herbs was a right balance for a perfect traditional Chinese dish.

Pork Rib/Meat Curry (RM25)

Crispy Mantao (RM8)

Now, I told you that my favourite lunch set was the pork curry rice. Well, you can have it for dinner as well with mantao-the best!

Yummy goodness!

Dip a crispy bun into it and savour the curry in your mouth. The mantao crisp with the curry sauce is a burst of flavour in the mouth. Full satisfaction!

NOVU Aesthetics Acne Dote Program

Who doesn’t want a blemish-free face? But one’s lifestyle habits plays too big of a part to the rise of pimples! And anyone who has had zits will know that they not only make your skin look not-so-good, they can also feel painful to the touch. NOVU Aesthetics’ latest Anti-Blemishes Program makes it easy and pain-free.

NOVU is a global medical aesthetic brand helping millions of patients achieve their dream of beautiful, healthy skin. They are located in over 40 clinics in 8 countries-Singapore, China, Malaysia, Myanmar and Spain. Globally, they have over 1,000 service points, which includes clinics and retail locations for our clinically approved skincare.

Established by founders, cousins and former investment bankers Nelson and Terence Loh, NOVU is devoted to  be the trusted, affordable and safe skincare and aesthetics provider. By integrating state-of-the-art technology from the KOSDAQ-listed Korean manufacturer with a global chain of medical aesthetics clinics, they were able to develop better and more cost-effective treatments, equipment and products. 

Always staying at the forefront of innovation, the recent partnership between Novena Global Lifecare, NOVU’s parent company, and Israel’s largest Venture Capital, The Yozma Group and the Weizmann Institute of Science will see the creation of Asia’s leading life science platform. The NOVU Medical Board is led by doctors who are experts in their fields.

I was one of the lucky one during the launch of this program to be able to try out the Acne Dote express program which includes their signature P+ Laser coupled with Cica Soothing Ampoule and Photodynamic therapy to give fresher, brighter and clearer complexion.

First, a basic skin cleanse is done to remove makeup and to prep skin. 

Next, the innovative Korean technology P+ Laser gently exfoliates dead skin cells and unclogs pores to reveal a brighter skin tone.

Then it’s onto the Korean Cica Ampoule Mask which uses the hottest K-Beauty ingredient known as Centella or Tiger Grass. This calms inflamed, sensitive and irritated skin but also speeds up acne healing and repairs skin.

To further eliminate acne-causing bacteria and toxins, control oil production, regenerate skin cells and promote collagen production, a High Pulsed Light is used.

-Reduce redness

-Regulates sebum production

-Brightens skin tone

-Reduces fines lines

-Boost collagen

-Encourages cell renewal 

Then the Blue Glimmer Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) technology is used. 

This light technology treatment uses one of four light wavelengths to treat different skin problems. 

For instance, the blue light soothes skin, prevents infection and suppresses sebaceous glands. This is followed by the use of the Yellow Glimmer PDT with Korean Cica Ampoule to reduce redness and inflammation. Lastly, a layer of Protective Tri-Action Mousse is applied to lock in moisture, assisting your skin’s ability to heal and protect the skin against harmful UV rays. 

To further boost your express treatment, NOVU Aesthetics also provide an add-on option of 20 minutes of Ion Fusion with Australian Kakadu Vitamin C Essence. This antioxidant-rich essence helps to lighten acne wounds and heal damaged skin. The Kakadu fruit actually has 100 times more Vitamin C than oranges! 

The cooling, relaxing ion treatment helps to deliver the hydrating and repairing nutrients from the previous steps deep within skin where they are needed most. It also refines enlarged pores and makes your complexion look brighter. You want to finish off your treatment with more radiant and supple skin, don’t you?

BEFORE(left) and AFTER (right)
My skin definitely looked clearer, brighter and glowing after the treatment and it lasted me a good whole glowy 3 days. Looveddd it! The program may be an express program, but the results are significant.

[comfort zone] Sublime Skin line

Sublime Skin, [ comfort zone ]’s best-selling rejuvenating collection, presents a new line extension specifically targeting the effects of Hormon-aging™. The advanced integrated approach effectively counters skin thinning, sagginess and extreme dryness due to menopause. The Cell-Support Technology™, featured in the new oil-based formulas, restores optimal cell communication and regeneration. A unique facial combines Dermal Petrissage and Kobido for deep collagen and elastin stimulation and a retrieved cutaneous and emotional vitality. This is to support women in the delicate phase of their lives.



Following the brand’s Science-based Conscious Formulas™ approach, the new products guarantee an optimal “skin support” which deeply nourishes and redensifies the skin and contain no animal derivatives, colorant and silicones. Both the home care and professional offer have been dermatologically and clinically tested and proved to significantly increase the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

Consider this - when was the last time you thought of your hormones?  You will find that hormones permeate a women’s life from health to fertility, and in every aspect of energy levels, metabolism, moods, menstruation, and menopause.  They also have conveniently become a justification for emotions from love to hate, and mood swings and weight problems. When the hormonal balance is upset, it translates swiftly on the skin. Understanding hormones and their effects on the skin, from the teenage years to pre-menopause and menopause, is a challenge for many skin care specialists. The line is specifically created for premenopausal and menopausal women (when menstruation eases). A delicate stage for women when hormones can take on a life of their own, could start as early as late 30s or as late as 40s. 

The Sublime Skin Hormon-aging™ line features two skincare products – the Oil Cream and the Oil Serum. The Cell-Support Technology™ is formulated for the products to counter extreme dryness, thinning and loss of density which are typical of menopausal skin. The exclusive Cell-Support Technology™ uses the synergistic effect of chicory extract, a biotechnological marine extract and eco-sustainable maracuja oil, to restore optimal functionality of the skin and to address contrasting cellular anarchy brought about by hormonal decrease. 

Sublime Skin Hormon-aging™ Oil Cream

The Sublime Skin Hormon-aging™ Oil Cream is formulated to counter extreme dryness, thinning and loss of density which are typical of menopausal skin, it nourishes and reactivates the weakened cutaneous mechanisms affected by estrogen drops, and works to reveal a nourished and firmer skin. 

The activating ingredients for the Oil Cream include: 

CHICORY EXTRACT that stimulates vitamin D receptors found in the basal layer of the epidermis. Vitamin D promotes the integrity of skin barriers by strengthening the cutaneous barrier and combating the typi¬cal thinning effect of Hormon-aging™. 

BIOTECHNOLOGICAL MARINE EXTRACT has its origin from the salt flats of Agua Amarga in Spain, a difficult environment for living creatures. The discovery of Halomonas Eurihalina which could adapt to the harsh environment was harnessed to improve the connection among keratinocytes and the cells of the epidermal and the dermal layers, thus optimizing the skin’s function and synthesis of new collagen. 

ABYSSINIAN SEED OIL, SHEA BUTTER AND PLANT-BASED SQUALENE FROM OLIVE OIL create a rich and velvety texture which makes the skin feel immediately softer and protected for longer. The Omega 3 and 6, tocopherol and phytosterol contents, help to retain water and improve cutaneous hydration levels.

The Sublime Skin Hormon-aging™ Oil Cream retails at RM588.00.

Sublime Skin Hormon-aging™ Oil Serum 

The Sublime Skin Hormon-aging™ Oil Serum is designed to stimulate cellular regeneration during the night and combat extreme dryness, thinning and loss of density, which are typical of menopausal skins. 

The activating ingredients for the Oil Serum include: 

ECO-SUSTAINABLE MARACUJA OIL obtained from passion fruit seeds. The oil is obtained through molecular distillation, an innovative extraction technique which uses high speeds and high tem¬peratures in extremely short bursts, in order to avoid any damage to the quality of the ingredients and to maximize the concentration. Rich in tocotrienols, the oil enhances cellular regeneration by stimulating the fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. 

ABYSSINIAN SEED OIL which is rich in Omega 3 and 6, tocopherols and phytosterols, to nourish and protect skin. It provides a wonderful sensorial experience of smoother and silkier skin. 

The Sublime Skin Hormon-aging™ Oil Serum retails at RM588.00.

If you want professional care, you can head over to URSPA at RuMa Hotel & Residences and let the professionals take care of your skin.

They of course use [comfort zone] line of products.

You can relax and enjoy your day at URSPA for a rejuvenated feel.

If you can’t change your physiology, why not embrace it by responding to it in a favourable way. With the [ comfort zone ] Sublime Skin Hormon-aging™ products, women can now enter the menopause phase confidently and without worrying about the hormonal effects on their skin. Sublime Skin products are available at over 20 beauty salons nationwide. 

In 2019, the Davines Group with its brands such as [ comfort zone ] scored the top 10% on the prestigious “BEST FOR ENVIRONMENT” list by B Corps for its virtuous ability to create a positive impact on the environment, making this Davines Group’s  second year of achievement in a row (2018 and 2019).

Premier Clinic reveals Results-Guarantee Policy!

Premier Clinic hosted Premier Clinic Day at Premier Clinic Bangsar on 6th October 2019 to celebrate their 5th year anniversary in aesthetic business.

Did you know that Premier Clinic is one of the top 3 aesthetic clinic in the Klang Valley? Licensed by the Malaysia Ministry of Health, Premier Clinic offers an extensive range menu of aesthetic treatments to help you attain your desired perfection in beauty and health. Premier Clinic is equipped with modern technology, advanced machines and credentialed doctors with specialised knowledge in aesthetic medicine.

Dr Chen Tai Ho, the founder of Premier Clinic addressing us.

On that day, Premier Clinic launched their PREMIERX (Premier Clinic reward programme), the first loyalty programme in aesthetic clinics in Malaysia. Customers can get rewarded by just staying

attractive with 30% cashback for treatment based on their accumulated spending.

Another exciting launch was their Result-Guaranteed Policy. Customers can be assured of their services and enjoy their treatments with confidence! Premier Clinic is the ONE and ONLY aesthetic clinic in the business that guarantees result to the clients. So, don't need to be afraid of spending thousands of ringgit only to find out that there are no significant results that you wanted. Premier Clinic guarantees this for you.

 And so 2 exciting new additions for customers were launched with the popping of balloons!

YAY!

Right back to business with Dr. Kee Yong Seng set to perform quick procedures to his client, Michelle to reveal how fillers can do amazing transformations!

Michelle complained that her feature made her tired looking, no energy and very dull.

 Dr Kee then explained how fillers can shape the face better, fill up her sunken eye bags and make her rejuvenated. Michelle said she wasn't afraid the whole time and was very at ease because Dr Kee made her comfortable and the whole procedure was fast with no down time. She can go back to her normal routine after this.

Dr Kee did under eye fillers to get rid of Michelle’s eyebags, jaw filler to form a V-shaped feature, and forehead filler to increase Michelle’s natural features. All the procedures are done using Radiesse filler and Belotero filler, courtesy of Merz’s Aesthetics, the safest and most effective fillers available in the market. Radiesse filler can have a long-lasting effect until 4 years while building collagen inside.

BEFORE(left) and AFTER (right).

As you can see, her chin was quite square-ish, manly and now transformed to sharper chin which looks more feminine and happy looking. Her sunken hollow eye bag has now been filled and her forehead is more lifted. All within 45 minutes!

Another person who has had an amazing transformation was comedian Along Cham who shared with us his experience of doing beard transplant, pico laser, refreshment laser and mole removal.

It's amazing how they did his beard transplant. Along explained that he was comfortable during the whole 6-8 hours and they took hair from the back of his head to plant into the beard area. So they use his real hair instead of synthetic hair so that the body will not reject the transplant. His mole removal was also removed with no scarring and laser done to his skin to remove pigmentation. Hey, guys have to maintain their beauty as well okay!

Next satisfied client was the winner of a weight loss competition held by Premier Clinic, Vasanthi who brought back RM20,000 worth of treatment voucher and RM2000 worth of cosmetics hamper!

 She did Keto and intermittent fasting and lost a whopping 6.2kg in a month. She explained a bit about the Keto programme. You cannot eat carbs and sugar which also means no milk, no corn, no potato. The only fruits that can be eaten are strawberries, blueberries and kiwis. Cakes can be eaten but only made of almond or coconut flour. Exercise at least 3-5 times a week with cardio and weight training to increase metabolism and burn fats. And she is going to lose 10 more kilos to reach her ideal weight. Wishing her all the best! Such an inspiration.

Dr Chen also shared with us on how we can reduce weight faster and more effective. That is through various methods available in Premier Clinic including Le Shape, CoolSculpting, Clatuu, HCG and Duromine.

Thank you Premier Clinic for having us and inspiring us to take care of our health and body. Aesthetic treatments are more and more popular these days among normal people like you and me. Procedures under the knife are not only scary but also very risky and so technology has introduced aesthetic treatments with not much downtime, improved formulas, faster procedures and amazing results!
