Lunch at Tarot Salmon Japanese Restaurant

21 Wednesday Mar 2012

After months not seeing each other, we finally set a date for lunch at Tarot Salmon Japanese Restaurant. Located in Batik Boutique Hotel, the restaurant is decorated in a minimalistic style, almost rustic. The dishes ranges from salad, sushi, sashimi, udon, tempura and chef speciality.

We sat at the high table near the entrance, Nutt and Zsa looked absolutely pretty with their dresses, made dear old me, in a halter top + cardigan and skinny jeans feel quite underdressed.

The table setting

Service here is average but not to say bad or anything. As I am (constantly) on diet, I ordered light dishes.

Wakame Salad RM8.90

I was quite disappointed to see this dish when it was served. When they said wakame salad, I was expecting the seaweed with lettuce, corn, tomato etc. Rather misleading, don’t you think so. Tastewise, a bit bland, perhaps a bit of chill will spice this dish a bit.

California Temaki Roll RM 7.90

I am a spoiled brat. I am so used with Minoru, I didn’t really enjoy TSJR’s version. At RM 5, Sushi King’s California Temaki Roll is tastier.

My main meal was the last to arrive. Perhaps they knew the fact I am dieting, the size of salmon was so small. It was almost two grilled salmon slices.

Very slim grilled salmon with fish roe mayo.

This is one of the chef’s speciality and I am sorry to say it wasn’t the best. Maybe it is just me. :s

Nutt and Zsa on the other hand, enjoyed their meals.

Nutt's starter: Salmon Bagel Rolls

Zsa's starter: Salmon Mayo

But I must praise Tarot Salmon Japanese Restaurant for their unique sushi choices. If you are looking for something different than the usual offering, this is the place to go.

I heard their Salmon belly dish is a hit! Can’t confirm that for you because I am obviously put off by the word belly.

Zsa's main meal: Chicken Teriyaki Don

Nutt's main meal: Prawn Tempura

I am sure this place has the potential to be better than it is at the moment. Such a pity because everything about it, apart from the food, is fabulous!

Don’t let my judgement stop you from going here though, who knows, you might like it. Price of the meals can be a bit expensive but not as expensive as Minoru.

Love,
E.

Yong Hua Cafe, Satok

This is my first time dining here. Considering the years I’ve stayed in Kuching, this is epic late. This cafe has been here for ages. Why, according to my friend, she’s been a regular since the noodle maker was single.

What makes Yong Hua Cafe so unique is the fact it is one of the places in Kuching where you can get Halal Mee Kolok and Ba Ku Teh! The cafe is located near Satok Wet Market, if I am not mistaken, next to a frozen meat shop, and believe me, it is very packed, hard almost impossible to get to during the weekend. What more of trying to find a table? Therefore, go there during the weekdays.

Anyhow, apart from Mee Kolok and Ba Ku Teh, they also serve a variety of dishes.

Love the simplicity of the menu design

Since I am a fan of Mee Kolok, I decided to give it a try. Ayu ordered the same thing in small and Zarith had the Mee Pok. We shared a bowl of Ba Ku Teh with lots of garlic.

Oh, epic yumminess. Mee Kolok looks simple but oh, the taste, is mind-blowing.

So far, this is the best Mee Kolok I ever tasted. Simply divine! Next time I go there, I want to try the Mee Pok or Kuey Tiaw Sapi. Zarith’s a fan!

I guess it is almost similar to Mee Kolok but I can't tell for sure. I will let you know once I have tried it.

I have never tried Ba Ku Teh before so I am pretty much clueless on how it should taste like, what determines if it is good but I must say, it was lovely. Strong taste of herbs and quite beefy. Kinda warms you up and if taken with the mee kolok, damn, orgasmic. Hehehe.

And this is how we (minus me) looked like halfway eating our meals…

Good food = Happy people

I can barely finished my regular sized mee kolok, Ayu was smart to order small. Oh well, if you’re looking for something different, do try out Yong Hua Cafe.

Love,
E.

 

Who karaoked all that rain???

05 Thursday Jan 2012

It just had to flood on the day I went to retrieve my new passport at the immigration office.

It took an hour to get to St Teresa and another hour to the immigration office due to the flash flood. Luckily, Aslan offered to use his Pajero, we successfully went through the affected areas due to the high design of the car. If we were to use the Alza, it could have been one heck of a submarine ride.

I do not blame Mother Nature for this. If you look back, this flash flood is not a rare occurance in Kuching. Here are my explanations:

  1. During the Monsoon season (Or Landas/Tengkujuh), heavy and prolonged rain is expected and if you are living in a low-lying area, you OUGHT to be prepared for the flood, whether you like it or not.
  2. The recent flash flood is made more disastrous due to urban development and the poor drainage system.
  3. The presense of a water height measure warning sign in Batu Lintang and Third Mile shows the regularity of floods in the area. These signs are there for a reason, so don’t take advantage of things.

It is sad that two lives are lost today due to the flood but we could have avoided such tragedies if all of us are more informed and not take every day things for granted.

For example, suppose the storm drains were clear of rubbish and whatnot, perhaps the water wouldn’t be too high. Parents should educate their children about the dangers of flood and what to do when caught in one. Local medias should take advantage of Facebook and Twitters to alert people which roads and places to avoid in the event of flood.

Be thankful the scale of our flood is not anywhere close to the ones in Thailand, Philippines or Sri Lanka.

Well, on a lighter note, I got my new passport!

It should have been ready in three hours time but due to some technical problem, it took a day to be processed. And yes, I look so much better compared to five years ago!

After we dropped off Anisha at home, we were supposed to have lunch at The Eatery at 4 Points by Sheraton with Hisyam and Harizan but they couldn’t make it due to some problems. We postponed our meeting to high tea instead. Aslan and I already ordered our drinks while waiting, so we carried on having lunch.

Caesar Salad with Grilled Chicken: The dressing was okay but the chicken was so bland. Portion is a bit too small for the price.

 

I asked for the soup of the day which was Cream of Broccoli but I was given Cream of Mushroom instead. Edible but disappointing. I'd rather have Campbell's!

Hot buns were not so hot and well, it would be nicer if they had given two each...

Aslan enjoyed his lunch very much. If I weren’t dieting, I would have ordered the same thing.

Jumbo Hotdog!

Today’s food photos are full with innuendos. If you don’t notice, you are truly an Angel.

In the afternoon, we went to Cafe Cinno at Hilton for some drinks with Hisyam and Harizan. I love their Chai Latte and chocolate pralines. I don’t care if they are too sweet for me, they are heavenly!

It was really lovely to meet up with the fashionistas, oh the things we talked about, scandalous! I look forward to another high tea with them, perhaps somewhere chic, undiscovered and full with treasures. :D

From left to right: Moi, Hisyam and Harizan

What a day! Stay safe, my sayangs, this is just a preview of what yet to come. The height of the monsoon season is barely here! Take good care of yourself and loved ones!

Christmas at The Raintree Restaurant

13 Tuesday Dec 2011

Posted by in Celebrations, Food, Review, Sarawak

≈ 2 Comments

Twelve more days to Christmas. This is the time when people start to feel the ‘festive’ pressure of getting things organized, better yet, done.

Some worry about what to get for their loved ones. Some worry about the decoration. Some worry about what to wear. Some worry about who to go out with. Some worry about the over commercialized aspect of it. But some just worry about where to eat on the eve of Christmas.

Lucky for you, I know exactly where to go! Before you read the following post, let me ask you a few questions.

  1. Do you want to avoid crowds and traffic jam?
  2. Looking for somewhere with peaceful and romantic but still has festive ambience?
  3. Abundant car park?
  4. Something different and unique?

If you have answered yes to all of the above, then you will love The Raintree Restaurant  Christmas Eve 5-Course Set Dinner at the Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK).

Countless amount of Christmas trees scattered around BCCK and one greeting you at the entrance of the Raintree Restaurant!

Tastefully decorated, you don't want it to be over the top, do you?

Headed by Sarawakian born Chef de Cuisine Virginia Kedit, the set dinner offers global cuisine prepared in French Classic Cooking style using Japanese Presentation Skills! In short, fusion fine dining here in Kuching!

Know which cutlery to use first? Simple, start from the outer most set going inwards!

Dinner begins with not one but two appetizer! What is dinner without a nice roll of hot bun. Spread it generously with butter, oh, magnifique! Tres bien! (Suddenly become all French because I usually relate fine dining to French cultures…)

Holy cow. This is the mother of all buns. It's not the look of a bun that matters, but the sound it makes! Crunchy but still soft! Perfect!

Blinis Tower of Lobster Medallion, Smoked Salmon and Creme Fraiche

Fine dining 101: Blini is basically Russian style pancake. I guess you can also call it a crepe.

This was PHENOMENAL. I almost cried when I had the first bite. I thought the smoked salmon was good, but the lobster was crazy!!! It was cooked perfectly, not too raw nor well done. Seafood paired well with the creme fraiche. The saltiness of it neutralized the creamy and rich texture of the creme fraiche or simply known as fresh cream.

Why, hello lobster! Mmm...

 

Warm Ravioli of Duck Confit and Pumpkin Puree

This appetizer was not as creamy but tasted beautiful. A relief after all that fresh cream and sinful seafood! Savoury and sweet at the same time because of the pumpkin puree. Also came with sautéed spinach!

The next dish reminded me a lot of UK. I spent almost three weeks in Scotland and London last winter and trust me, I couldn’t resist not having a cream based soup for my starter.

Cream of Cauliflower with colorful Peppers and Crouton

You might think that cauliflower might not have much taste but surprisingly, this cream based soup was so delightfully delicious, it brought back memories of good times in the UK during winter last year. It warmed me up and the pepper trio of green, red and yellow added an Asian kick to it.

The third course was a palate refresher. In French fine dining, the palate refresher, usually in the form of a lime or lemon sorbet is served after the fish course. Main reason is to cleanse the palate or tongue and refresh the senses.

Exotic Ginger-Lime Sorbet

This sorbet is truly Asian with the ginger element. Ginger, spicy and sweet, goes well with bitter lime. Once this sorbet arrives, eat it quickly before it melts!

Now, onto the main course. You have two choices.

Slow baked turkey roulade with wild mushroom and truffle oil, served with sautéed Brussels sprouts, caramelized chestnuts and cranberry sauce.

OR

Slow grilled marinated sirloin on spicy potato, wilted spinach with blue cheese, buttered carrot, Brussels sprouts and beef jus.

Now, the only dilemma is… Why must there be a choice? Can’t we not get both of these extremely scrumptious and juicilicious dishes?

Honestly, I can’t say which one is a better choice since they are in their own league.

If you want to have a true Christmas meal, then you would want to go for the turkey. It is also recommended to those who are watching their weight during this holiday season (Best example, me…). It has all the right elements in order to qualify as a Christmas turkey. Besides that, I see no point in having a whole roasted turkey since you might only just eat a few carvings but a roulade offers you the right amount of meat. Therefore, you don’t overeat! The certified halal turkey is imported from Australia, so, for Muslim patrons, eat doubt free!

As for the sirloin, if you are a beef lover, this is the dish for you! I experienced an out of this world food orgasm at the first bite. Love at first bite? Cheesy but true. It was marinated beautifully in a mixture of dates, dijon mustard, garlic and chilli powder, obviously a more Asian take on Christmas meal.

A solution to this dilemma is to order both sets. In this context, if good food makes you happy, then money definitely can buy you happiness. :p

After an exciting ride over main course, it was finally time for dessert!

Christmas Pudding with Raspberry White Chocolate Parfait

Thankfully, the Raspberry White Chocolate Parfait was not too creamy or I would have died of good food overdose. I must be frank, it is not easy to come up with the perfect Christmas Pudding sans the alcohol. The Christmas pudding was a bit dry but after a rich   3 course meals beforehand, I don’t think you would complain. :p

This promotion is available for dinner on December 24, 2011. Priced at RM 125+ a person, it may sound expensive but with the quality and amount of food you are getting, it is considered cheap. Why, in Singapore, a 14 course set dinner (small portion by the way) at Jaan Restaurant cost RM 1200 per person! So, in comparison, it is quite a reasonable price for fine dining!

Mesmerized and tempted to give this fine dining Christmas set dinner a try? For enquiries and reservations, call the Raintree Restaurant at 082 392888 between 11 AM to 10 PM daily.

On top of that, here are some information on what other promotions are available at the Raintree Restaurant:

16th-24th December: Pre-Christmas 3 Course Set Luncha and Dinner at RM 78+
24th December: Christmas Eve 5 Course Set Dinner at RM 125+ with live entertainment from RBS Quartet from 730 PM until 10 PM
25th December: Christmas Day Buffet Lunch and Dinner at RM78+ with Christmas cookies giveaway available during lunch
26th December: Boxing Day Buffet LUnch at RM78+
31st December: New Year’s Eve Seafood Buffet Dinner at RM155+ with free entrance to the NYE concert

Sneak preview of BCCK Christmas decoration. Lighting is this Friday!

Lunch with the Girls at Fullhouse

10 Saturday Dec 2011

Gwendalyn invited the girls and I for lunch at the newly opened Fullhouse at the Hills Shopping Mall. It was my first time and well, judging the concept and decorations etc, I was expecting the food to be good.

The menu is very cheerful to say the least

The cafe has this whimsical feel to it, very odd in a way. I was just waiting for a rabbit in a uniform hurrying to go somewhere important to show up.

Anyway, their menu selection is okay, just the right amount of choices. They’ve got Asian, Western and Fusion food. Aslan ordered the Chicken Alfredo while I went for the Pan Fried Sea Bass with Golden Mushroom Tempura and Miso Sauce. This was to solve the dilemma I had, whether to have pasta or fish.

As for drinks, the selection is less than enthusiastic. I chose Iced Korean Tea with Jujube and Aslan, Honey Lemon with Aloe.

From left to right: Honey Lemon Aloe and Iced Korean Tea with Jujube. Tasted mediocre but quite decently priced. So I will not complain any further.

While we were waiting inside the cafe for the girls, they were actually outside the cafe, waiting for us. I think it is better to sit outside. After 10 minutes of waiting, our food finally arrived.

Chicken Alfredo: A bit sweet for my liking. It could be better, I hope this is just a teething problem.

 

I love this dish. My only complain is I think the fish is cooked too well. It was so dry. Apart from that, wonderfully flavored! Love the mashed potato, mushroom tempura and sautéed spinach, especially with the miso sauce!

In my point of view, given the chance, I am confident the food can be a whole lot better. It is a nice place and the concept is fresh too. I just hope that the quality of food and drinks will improve. Not forgetting, consistent too!

Pricewise, it cost an average RM30 each. A bit pricey but once in a while it is okay.

Of course, after a great session of catch up and food, camwhoring ensued!

Ladies who lunch! Wonder how we would look like in 10 years time?

 

Wouldn't miss the chance to pose with a nice retro Mini...

Gwen has a stall at the Hills, so, we took a photo there too. Hehehe.

I feel out of place, surrounded by these gorgeous ladies!

Dining Up in the Sky

Fancy an intimate Christmas eve dinner up in the sky? Well, you are definitely in luck! The Peak offers you the Contemporary Set Menu Dinner on Christmas and New Years Eve priced at RM 148+ per person!

It is intimate because this venue can only take in less than 20 tables, so, you better make your reservation NOW!

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree...

The beauty of this dinner is it is a semi-buffet and set dinner. While you wait for your a la minute dishes to arrive, why not head over to the buffet table first?

Among the dishes served at the buffet table are as follows:

Fresh oysters although small in size but absolutely scrumptious in taste

I put some tomato and coriander salsa on the oyster and a marriage of flavors just exploded in my mouth. So freaking good.

Seared rock lobster in champagne glass on prawn bisque jelly

I love this dish very much! Absolutely beautiful! Luckily I managed to get one as it was running out quite fast!

Slow poached black Atlantic cod fish with citrus vinaigrette & onion relish

Cod fish tasted more delicious with the citrus vinaigrette and onion relish. It evens out the oiliness of the fish.

Fresh sliced tuna, red snapper & salmon are also available

Nothing like a bit of sashimi to make Christmas eve dinner more Asian. Fusion!

Fresh water prawn skewer with expresso coffee sauce

I found this dish a little bit peculiar but for Mr Coffee Lover, Aslan, truly enjoyed this dish. I mean this because he is not usually fond of prawns!

If you are as health conscious as I am, there is also the healthy corner where you can get healthy yet delish dressings for your salads compromising of finely shredded carrots and Japanese julienne, romaine lettuce, green oak leaf, red coral, green frisse and tomatoes.

For the set dinner, the dishes are as follow:

Entree for Christmas eve dinner: Coriander scented Foie Gras, slow-simmered young abalone & caramelized in pomegranate jus

Entree for New Year's Eve dinner: Saffron Lobster bisque topped with truffle oil

Two choices of main course:

Hazelnut crust young lamb rack & 98c baked US beef ribs, Gratin sweet potatoes timbale & midin black pepper gravy

OR

Pan-seared black cod, edible flower with saute baby sprout, celeriac relish & Seafood duet- King Prawn cured with jumbo mussel in lime broth and citrus oil

Now, the part of dinner I love most… DESSERTS!

HEAVEN!

Green kiwi fruit tart!

Chocolate eclairs

Chocolate expresso Yule log

Christmas Stolen Bread

Chocolate Macrons; other flavors are available too!

Mini ginger bread presentation!

Raspberry indulgence torte

Unfortunately, this lovely Santarina from Korea is not included in the set dinner. :p

Trust me, there will be more selection available, this is just a preview!

Sadly, roast turkey is not available at the Peak, perhaps you can try your luck by asking for one in advance. Good news is it will be available at Puzzle in its Christmas Eve and New Year Eve Buffet dinner priced at RM 99+ per person.

Christmas came early this year, I had the nicest turkey meal, EVER!

The classic chestnuts stuffing is perfect! Pity they didn’t have any cranberry sauce to go with it.

Going gaga for roasted turkey...

Damai Central

19 Saturday Nov 2011

Posted by in Barefoot Day, Review, Sarawak

After lunch, Aslan and I thought hard where to bring Teh Kah for a nice drink or two. I somehow wondered, wouldn’t it be nice to escape from the monsoon season and escape to somewhere sunny?

We were at the traffic light before the toll bridge when I noticed Santubong area was clear of any dark clouds and the bulb in my head was switched on. We brought her to have a look at the newly opened Damai Central.

If the weather was not as hot, it would have been nice to stroll along the beach.

 

One thing I found interesting about Damai Central is the tastefully done sculpture of the hornbill, our national bird here in Sarawak. I prefer this to the one at the flyover just after the airport heading towards the city center, ugly.

 

What a nice looking bird.

Next to Damai Central is none other than Damai Beach Resort and just opposite Damai Central is the Cultural Village. Strategic location for the tourism industry.

 

One don't have to drive to Cultural Village from Damai Beach anymore! A plus point especially during the Rainforest World Music Festival!

I couldn’t be more Asian by using my trusty umbrella from H&M to shield myself from bad old Mr Sun.

 

Floral umbrella, H&M $14.99

Teh Kah and Aslan enjoyed the sun and well, I have to admit I felt quite odd with the umbrella so I took the risk and went under the sun without any sun protection- and camwhored.

 

Teh Kah and I: I kept on telling Aslan to hurry up because I was melting slowly...

 

Aslan and I

 

The tide was low but Mr Sun was quite generous with its ray and heat, none of us bothered going to the beach.

 

In my head, this looked like the Sahara Desert, not a beach.

 

Here at Damai Central, one is spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options. There’s the food court where they serve both local and international food and for those who love their seafood but not in the mood to drive down to Buntal, can always try Bayridge Fine Seafood Restaurant.

 

Bayridge Fine Seafood Restaurant

 

I will do a proper review of this restaurant the next time I go there. Damai Central also have a bar, I think it’s called Escobar, it looks lovely and well, I heard it is a nice place to watch the sunset!

Damai Central also have locker, towel and shower rental for those who wants to have a nice time at the beach without having to check into any hotel.

When we were at Damai Central this afternoon, Brooke Dockyard held their family day.

 

- Next game was Limbo, how low can you go?

Quite a space for sports activity or a mini concert etc

 

Damai Central also have a few shops lots available for rent. So far I only noticed one convenient store open for business.

 

Nice view of mount Santubong just behind Damai Central.

 

Guess who we met having their lunch at the seafood restaurant? None other than Teh Kah’s dad and his nephew from Miri. They invited us to join them but since we had something before going here, we only ordered drinks.

 

Group photo!

 

I had a nice time at Damai Central and I look forward to returning there again.

Curious? Visit Damai Central Facebook page here.

Love,
E.

 

Rainy Afternoon at Tarot Cafe

18 Friday Nov 2011

Posted by in Food, Review, Sarawak

≈ Leave a Comment

Looking for somewhere new to dine, we decided to give Tarot Cafe at Jalan Keretapi a try.

 

I like this part of the cafe, daunting and mysterious...

 

And add Aslan and Sera to the background, it doesn’t look too daunting nor mysterious anymore…

 

Happy Aslan and cheeky Sera

 

Famished, we ordered quite a few things from the menu. The drink menu is expansive, according to the tarot cards and horoscope characters. Quite interesting.

 

Our order for the day

 

I ordered something chocolaty for Sera and when her drink arrived, it was huge.

 

Tarot Cafe should consider kiddie's size drinks.

 

Nonetheless, Sera enjoyed her Enriched Chocolate drink. Aslan and I on the hand, took quite a long time to decide. I think I changed order twice.

 

Honey Lemon Juice is refreshingly delicious! Quite a generous size too. Aslan declared this his favorite drink

 

The Lover: Dragon fruit milkshake

 

A fabulous drink, I never thought of mixing dragon fruit with milkshake, divine!

 

Since Sera is a very fussy eater, I thought rice with fried egg and sausages will be alright. Unfortunately, she only had a few spoonfuls.

 

Not the most interesting looking dish...

 

Aslan randomly ordered something from the menu, he depended on the recommended dish logo to help him decide.

 

Nissin noodles with Chicken Ham, Sausage and Fried Egg

 

Honestly, Aslan didn’t really enjoy this dish but not to say it was horrible. Mediocre to say the least.

I fancied something Korean, hence, I crossed my fingers and ordered the Prawn with Kimchi noodles.

 

Bland and spicy...

 

We ordered chicken teriyaki for a side dish, Aslan enjoyed it, he said it added some flavor to his noodles.

 

Edible, taste wise, nothing special.

 

I guess I was just too hungry, I also ordered dessert for us to share.

 

Dragon fruit with sago and vanilla ice cream.

 

In a nutshell, Tarot Cafe is the best place to go for drinks and desserts and not for the food. Perhaps we ordered the wrong dishes. Everything cost around RM 52. The furnitures and decorations are a bit worn out.

Well, maybe the one near Swinburne University is nicer. Who knows?

Love,
E.

 

 

Authentic Fresh Seafood

06 Sunday Nov 2011

Posted by in Barefoot Day, Food, Review, Sarawak

≈ Leave a Comment

Buntal, Top Spot and Rock Road. These are some of the names I am very familiar with when it comes to scrumptious seafood dishes.

Until I was introduced to Muara Tebas Seafood. It can’t get any more authentic and fresh than this.

We arrived there at 530pm and paid RM3 for parking. There were a few other customers but most of them were about to leave. It amuses me how early they take dinner. Perhaps they will eat supper later?

I was told that the seafood selections here in Muara Tebas is authentic and fresh because they are from the ocean and not farmed. Muara Tebas is a well known fishing port.

-Charming
You don’t get this kind of view in Buntal nor Top Spot nor Rock Road Seafood Restaurant…
From the restaurant, you can see the temple on the hill…

 

Every time I want to order fresh coconut juice at Buntal, I either don’t get it (because they are none) or I get a canned coconut juice. :S But at Muara Tebas Seafood, there is an abundant supply of fresh coconut juice. They are refreshingly sweet!

-Simple and yet very beneficial for your health!

Dinner started with a plate of delicious kangkung garlic. Given the choice, I could survive eating just kangkung. Mmm…

 

Best taken when steaming hot paired with an white rice... OOOHHHHHH...

 

Not sure what this dish is called but it was something like fried seafood kolok mee. I think I will go back to Muara Tebas just to have this again... Mmm...

 

Huge oysters, steamed with lots of leek and garlic! Beautifully flavored!

 

Rock lobsters! I'm not sure what kind of style they were cooked but I swear, I am still dreaming about it till now! Scrumptious!

 

Steamed Grouper

 

I learned that if the meat of the fish is chewy and tough, it is from the ocean and not farmed. The grouper we had today was really fresh, chewy and tasty!

Sunset at Muara Tebas is gorgeous.

 

It does look different as it gets darker, doesn't it?

 

This view would be nicer if there were no factories in the distant. :S

 

The only photo of Teh Kah and I, full from all the seafood dishes. Somewhat blurred too because the photographer was also full.

 

So, what are you waiting for? Better hurry up before more people discover this little secret too!

Love,
E.
