Raisins in Apple Cider Vinegar

Do you like sour plums? Do you like raisins? I like sour plums very much and it's not healthy at all. Recently, my friend told me about Raisins in vinegar and told me of its benefits. So i give it a try. The picture above showed the raisins that have been soaked in apple cider vinegar for 24 hours. It became plump and juicy which they filled with vinegar. The taste is sourish but not too sour as raisins contain natural sweetness in them.
Here are the dry raisins. I bought ORGANIC raisins where no added sugar.

To make Raisins in vinegar, you need a glass bottle, vinegar(any organic vinegar will do), and raisins(use organic big size raisins). Put the raisins in the glass bottle and fill in vinegar till covering all the raisins. Then eave it for 24 hours and you can consume 10 raisins each day. You don't need to keep it in the fridge. You can consume the vinegar after you finished the raisins too!!

So, what are the benefits for health:

1. prevent colon cancer
2. restore vision problems
3. Enhance skin complexion and repair collagen
4. fast reliever for fatigue effect
5. improve anemia and malignant dermatis
6. prevent presbyopia, usually occurs beginning at around age 40
7. heals skin disease
8. help in WEIGHT LOSS
9. prevent and reduce the fibroid growth
10. improved dementia sickness
11. naturally improve leukemia
12. improve Tinnitus, also known as "ringing in the ears" and rhinitis known as runny nose

raisins are low in sodium,fat free and rich source of antioxidants.

Suisse Programme Eye Make up Remover Review

Eyes area are very important and the skin around the eyes are tender too. So, it's important to choose a good eye make-up remover. Here is the eye make-up remover that i have tried and it is quite good as you don't need to keep rubbing the eyes and it can remove mascara effectively.

Some eye make-up removers are harsh where our eyes may become red after an application. However, this doesn't cause problem like this. This product can be bought from SASA and it costs about RM120 for a bottle.

T-Bowl Concept Restaurant @ Sungei Wang

I recently went to try this concept restaurant at Sungei wang Plaza located at 3rd Floor.This is a toilet/bathroom concept restaurant where the foods are served in toilet bowls or bath tubs. Their furniture are something that we use in our toilet. Hahaha...When I told my Uncle that i'm going to a restaurant like this...He reckons it is MADNESS! hahahha.....Let me elaborate more of this restaurant....
Here, is the interior of the restaurant. It isn't that big in this area but it is quite cosy. Once i reached here, i can's stop taking pictures to share them here!
Here is the table. It is a basin and top with a glass. What's inside??Accessories that we used during bath!
This is the stool i sit on! Isn't this looks cute??
Here comes the menu! Quite wide selection of foods. The price are very reasonable as i reckon that their target market are mostly teenagers and college students. Certainly, there are still some families dining in.

Here are some of the pictures showing their interiors.
So, i ordered this signature ice-cream which look like shit!!!And this shit is fresh sitting on a toilet bowl!!hahahah....Bottom is a piece of waffle and some chocolates nibbles.This costs Rm4.90. Very reasonable rite? But certainly the ice-cream is not those delicious ice-cream!!!but acceptable.
This shit is so stinky!!!!Help!!Help!!!!hahahahahha......
Here is the banana split.Costs less than Rm 10.
Seafoods fried rice costs RM8.90.
Seafoods Kimchi soup. (RM13.90) What's inside? 2 pre fried prawns, few pre fried fish slices, few squids and crabsticks.






Here is one of the deco in that restaurant. Isn't this girl look so relaxed in this bath tub??Soak in balloon!!!
Here is another section of the restaurant.

Foods: Moderate. You wouldn't go back for the foods.hahah
Service: Prompt service.
Price: Cheap

Nah...this is solely my own opinion...For the concept and the environment..it's okay to pay a visit!But for foods wise...i reckon that the foods aren't fresh but still acceptable as the prices they charge is cheap.
Anyway..it's worth a try and have some fun!!
