Popular Fashion Pick CNY 2012

There's a few fashion style that was a hit this year which I observed previous weeks. I am here to share with all of you what I found out.

Hit of the year, firstly :

1. Toga Bodycon Dress

A must point of bodycon is the dress must be real fitting to your body shape to show off your figure. No matter it is long sleeves,

...short sleeves or even....

......sleeveless......

they are all fantastic piece. Easily bring out the feminine figure of a woman. It is a total must have in a woman wardrobe this year.

2. Lace Cheongsam

This year CNY you must have at least a piece of this modern lace cheongsam. This year every piece is master mind from the fashion designers. Just like dishes, they are fusion of oriental and also western together.

Like this piece over here.

A little bit of cut out of the dress, either front or....

....back like this picture over here. This had bring cheongsam to a total different level. Besides an oriental theme, it will brings out lovely, sexy and of course feminine look of a woman which is the main objective to wear a cheongsam.

3. Cut Out Dress

Popularity of these dress increase rapidly after it was intro to the public. It does not necessarily cut out a lot from the dress. Some how a light cut on the shoulder on chest is perfectly nice.

Simple and non-expose like the piece of black peplum dress, chest cut out below is total magnificent.

Do you know what is the overall point above that can be combine together? Look below pictures and you will know.

Can you guess it right? Toga bodycon, lace and it is cut out. All the main thing in one piece. No matter what mixture it is, I bet you'll definitely find the proper piece that suits you most.

4. Jumpsuit

Another piece that hits the fashion world is jumpsuit. Everyone goes insane with it. No matter you have it in tube, quarter sleeves, deep V, long or quarter pants it will definitely bring out the cool edgy and elegant look of a woman.

Even in short like the piece below, it will definitely looks nice too. It is a must have as it won't fade with the fast pace of changes in fashion industry.

5. Pump Heels

You have everything done, you should have a footwear to match with your awesome cloths. Hit of the year which I think it is. Pump Heels.

Either it is peep toe,

....with platform or

.....pump with platform

.....or just a normal piece, it can easily mix and match with your cloths because of the simplicity and elegant that it can bring out when a woman wears it.

That's all of my sharing. This is all out of my own opinion. You can disagree and all feedback are certainly welcome.

Welcome Seafood Restaurant

We all know what Kota Kinabalu (KK) are famous of besides the mountain and also diving part or to be short mother nature . What is more famous is their seafood. Fresh, cheap and superbly cook!!! This is what I think possibly could be the most affordable and nice place to dine in for Seafood.

See how much we had ordered for only 5 of us? The point is we finish it all because the food was awesome and you will see lots of tourist around especially HongKies.

Steamed Fish

Love the fresh texture of the fish. Nicely done even though with minimal and simple ingredient. I think with fresh ingredient all food will be nicely cook.

Kam Hiong Crab

I love the crab too. It's a little different from what we have here in Miri but still taste great. Maybe they did some fusion in order for foreigners to adapt with our food. (I guess)

Nothing special. Just want light vegetarian since all the pick of the night is meat. Too heavy for a start because we will be having something more heavy after that when we reach Taiwan.

Claypot Taufu

Everyone knows this dish. Simple but still a popular pick. The gravy is more tastier than the dish itself because it can be pour on the rice and eat a few bowl if my tummy still can fit in.

Nestum Prawn

The prawn is so big. Bigger than the normal size we usually find at the fish market. It's not tiger prawn and not charging any higher price thou, so we think this is so much worthy. I dislike prawn and can't have too much prawn but this prawn will makes me want for the second piece.

I don't know it's name. I heard it called "Lo" in chinese. This is the first time I tried this but it is sort of special and awkward. MUST eat with the sauce because I think it is special made to dip with it.

This is the after picture. Can you imagine 3 ladies and 2 men can finish all 6 dishes with nothing left. I am impressive but I don't think for others. People might think it's normal but the portion is quite big.

Remember to drop by if you are around at KK. I don't know the exact destination but the people around there might know and guide you there.

Accomodation at Taiwan

Kao Hsiung - Nanaimo

The place we stay at Kao Hsiung is convenient for youngsters like us. It is near to train station and just next to a school. Luckily it is summer and we won't have to listen to bell sound early in the morning.

Did attach a picture of how it looks like. Do click here to view their site in details.

Kenting - Border hotel

Not really satisfied with this hotel as appearance is not the same as it appears on facebook. However it is situated right along the street of Kenting Night Market. Awesome place to fill your stomach whole night. Some other rooms looks fine maybe because we book it quite last minute and we had more people in this trip, that's why we did not able to get a better room.

Click in their facebook page or their website here for more details.

Tai Chung

Do not have an exact name for this. We are liking this very much because it is so comfortable and convenient too. It is within walking distance to Tai Chung night market.

Sun Moon Lake - Assam Dream

Loving the design of this hostel that we stay. Comfortable, nice environment and affordable. But somehow it is not convenient. However, Sun Moon Lake is the only place you have to go around that area. Owner is kind enough to provide transport and breakfast to his customer.

Visit their website for more information and details.

Jiu Fen

Another fantastic place. Taiwan government really know how to preserve their country symbolic icon place. This is so far the best view between 7 places that we had been to.

Taipei

After so much of fantastic accommodation we are expecting better ones however this one in Taipei slightly disappoint us. However they do have some facilities for you to use like washing machine and what is good it is just within walking distance to the biggest night market, Shihlin Night Market.

Check them out here.

TaoYuan - Anna's House

This is among all the most beautiful accommodation. Despite comfort zone, the house is uniquely design and creatively decorate.

Find them at facebook page or click into their blog for faster response.

All the accommodations are great and most important of all when we do research and make reservation is :

1. CHEAP!!! - main thing to save because it could cost a lot for 10 days living
2. Convenient - easily find and of course easily get public transport
3. Food - surrounded with food, if no at least some where near Night Market, got night market
means got FOOD!!

HOPE THIS POST DOES HELP YOU A LITTLE!!~

Bento, Taiwan

We were so lazy to go some where far to search for food, so we decided to stop by at this shop which was just walking distance from where we live. You would never expect too much from the appearance but things could always be the other way round.

They are serving food in bento style. I think it's quite environment friendly because they can save a lot of water to just clear all the dirty dishes and also save expenses because they don't need to employ another extra maid to help them to clean up the mess. Besides, all the paper are recyclable. You will find at most of the shop at Taiwan were very conscious about 3R. That is why Taiwan is much more develop than what Malaysia are today. The mindset is so different.

Food they served not only looks good but taste good too. Do not judge by the outlook and size. The portion is definitely big enough for you to handle. You will easily fill full after having maybe half of the bento set.

We are all loving it and truly satisfied with what they served. Although space within is not big because bento are meant for take away but the boss still welcome us with great smile and hoping to see us around if he could have the chance to come over Malaysia for a visit.

We are awaiting his bento shop opening at Malaysia.

Taipei, Taiwan - Day 3

It was our third day at Taipei. Our final day to see, eat and shop till drop before going to Tao Yuan and flying back to Malaysia. Went to Taipei Zoo. Heard it was one of the must visit because it is one of the attractions too.

Panda is our first pick because we have to queue up in number to see these panda all the way from China within limited time frame.

Here it comes.....and all the while he is turning round and round on the same track. I wonder whether he scares he is lost or he is scared of so many strange human beings watching him.

The zoo was so damn big. I think if you walk without a map you might easily get lost because street sign is far from each station we went.

Cute hippo bringing her kids down to bath. I think the baby hippo were tiny because it is cover by the water level when it walk down into it.

They were just too many of them to put all in here. Just selected a few to let all of you have a peep. Want to have great exploration? Come yourself to Taipei and experienced yourself. I bet you will have more fun instead of just reading this.

Rushing to Taipei 101 after that because that was our main thing to do of the day. How could you not visit their tallest building when you're in the city? Just like when you went to KL, how could you not visit KLCC? It is the same application to this.

Loving this baby damper when we reach the peak at 89th floor. This is where you could see fantastic view of Taipei and in depth introduction of Taipei 101.

Fascinating ain't it? See all the skyscrapers buildings. I think Taipei is moving fast forward than KL does. Their economy, their living lifestyle is way much better than we are.

The damper that act as the heart of Taipei 101. This is the inspiration od the baby damper. Cute aren't they?

Another baby damper. So liking it. Hope to grab it back and have it as my baby.

Awesome night view of Taipei. There's a little reflection because of the glass window but second one gets better.

How do you like this post? I'm lovin' the pictures especially. Could just ignore my words and enjoy the picture. Before I end did you realize something not right? I did not take a proper picture of Taipei 101. That's very sad.
