Petite Millie, One Utama

Apr 19th

So you’re shopping at One Utama from 2pm and it’s 7pm now . 5 hours of air cond and all you hope for now is a nice hot plate of food . That’s what Petite Millie wants to achieve – to serve you a nice hot plate of fulfilling dinner .

You’re seated down and given the menus – 2 simple A3 sized menus . Big, simple, and complete with details . You’re thinking, ‘okay , why not we get some recommendations here’, and the waiter gives you some opinions .. And decisions on dinner is made . While waiting, you notice a black squared box on the floor, intended for your shopping bags and ladies’ handbags . Ain’t that somethin’ ? That’s every girls’ dream ! To actually have a special place to put your things , no need of the unneccesary luggage on your lap .

Okay, done with the story telling .. Let’s go on with the food, shall we ?

Beef Carpaccio
This was one of their specials of the week . It’s different every week , so be sure to come back to have a taste of the chef’s creativity with food !

Iberian Beer Cecina (RM19.50) (right) La Petute Moderne (RM16.50) (left)
Well , for the Iberian Beef Cecina , the air dried beef loin was a little on the dry side, but I definitely love the capsicum concassé .
The La Petute Moderne on the other hand , the texture of the chicken was almost like eating tuna , but chicken form . Really ! Quite interesting, especially with avocado on top and caramelized onions below it .

Poutine Cheek (RM26)
French fries with braised beef cheek (6 hours of braising!!) with truffle oil , and cheese on top .
This is a very filling bowl of fries . It can be a dinner meal for anyone to be honest, or shared among a table of 2 or 4 .. But trust me, it’s very filling, it’s so delicious , the beef cheeks just melts into your mouth .

Emilia’s Tagliatelle al Duck Ragu (RM28.50)
The roast duck was fantastic , but the duck cooked with the pasta was a little dry . Other than that, this is a very interesting dish . Quite unusual and worth trying out .

Overall , Petite Millie is worth a go , especially for those who haven’t been to fine dining, this would be a nice introduction to fine dining and French food .

Hair Chalking 101 !

Feb 5th

Hello ! So , everyone’s into hair chalking lately , and I really want to show a tutorial on how it works on dark hair ! Hair chalking was introduced to me by a really good friend of mine, Michelle and we both got excited, and shared a box of soft pastel as shown below .

_MG_1036

This one only has 12 colours , not many to choose from (Not even purple! Boohoo) , but we wanted to test it out before we regret . It costs about RM15 and you can buy it from bookstores like MPH and Popular . A hint on where to find it is to go to where the artists would go to – The art section ! The place where you can find paintbrushes and stuff .. Yeah, somewhere there you’re bound to find boxes that looks like this one above .

There, inside there are 12 colours .. For this box, it’s about the size of your index finger . The one above is broken into 2 because I shared the other half with Michelle . I thank her so so much for this trend cause I really loveeeee ombre hair , and dyeing the ends of my hair !

Okay, this is what you need .

Soft pastel/water-based crayon
Water
Hair !
Hairdryer / Haircurler / Hair straightener
Gloves (Optional)

You can really opt for gloves if you haev perfect manicures and you don’t want to get any kind of possible stains . I don’t , so I won’t be using gloves in this tutorial .
First, grab a small strand of hair, tie the rest of your hair up , so you don’t get them coloured by accident .

Wet the chalk . I like to leave a droplet of water on it cause it makes it so much easier to colour your hair . Another option is to wet your hair instead but it doesn’t exactly work for me .. You can try both ways and see which one works for you . (:

Next, you’re going to literally colour your hair ! Rub the chalk downwards , and you’ll see your hair colour changing !!! It’s a miracle !

Don’t get worried if you made a mess and get colour all over your hands because it’s perfectly fine , it’s normal ! Just use some soap and wash it off ! (:

Next , you needa dry it . Blow dry it , curl it , straighten it .. Anyhow you want . Just make sure you dry it properly or it’s gonna cause a lot of stain on your skin and clothes when in contact .

There you go ! That’s how it looks once done . It’s so cool, ain’t it ?

Don’t forget to clean it after you’ve used it because excessive chalk will come off and stick to your curler or straighter. (:

Look at how prominent the red is on dark hair . It’s vivid and stand out !

This was one of my favourites . I used 2 colours – red and blue . (Initially trying to make purple , but I ended up doing duo colors instead) . Be creative , do all sorts of styles ! (:
And just a tip , you might not want to comb your hair after you coloured it, or chalk will come off . Best is to leave it and don’t even touch it ! D: So , hair chalking is really great for curly hair , not so much on straight hair .. Hmm .. I put up some photos from the net below just to get your creative brain working . (:
