S E E K E E L E E


Had these thoughts while I was in the shower earlier and thought I should share it! Whatever you read below are my personal opinion and experiences and just for fun! Share if you can relate hah!

1. Change in Taste
You no longer like your food to be too sweet. Coffee without sugar taste more classy. Cakes that are less sweetened taste more expensive. You can finally accept cilantro in your mouth. You begin to feel guilty eating KFC, Texas Chicken. When you finally like pork belly, it's about too late to enjoy them 

2. Change in Fashion
Simplicity IS fashion to you. Time to chuck the statement necklaces, bangles, earrings and begin stocking on smaller accessories like a simple plain looking ring, pearl earrings and very thin necklace. You feel almost embarrassed wearing the big ones. Well, now it's all about being all classy... So plain ones will do just well. 

3. Change in Lifestyle
You begin to appreciate going out in smaller groups. You're now able to shop and eat alone without feeling MEH. You find it a luxury to have the time to stay at home, light some scented candles, turn on some jazz music and sip on a hot cuppa. You prefer life to be slower pace too. Being in the hot shower is heaven to you. You don't want to come out from the bathroom. You have packs of tissue in your bag now! You sleep later because you refuse to sleep with the fear of waking up to work the next day. You begin to hate routines. Before I forget, you PMS like NEVER before! 

4. Change in Priorities
You begin to reflect more on yourself and notice what the important things are. ie: Spiritual life, family, close friends, finance and future. You start planning out your future around the priorities mentioned above that you never had any clue 2 years ago. You choose your friends wisely to the point of thinking 10 times before accepting those who add you on Facebook or request to follow you on Instagram.

5. Change in Expenditures
Funny how when you grow older, you earn more than before but you get to spend less... Commitments like study loan, car loan, insurance and bills creep in. You think more than twice if you should buy that RM39.90 bag. You put it into the cart wish for it to be on sale item list before you hit the check out button. You (try to) learn how to budget and fail numerous times. But you still try... By downloading the perfect financial app from the app store hoping it would help your financial status. Haha!

Although some of the changes I mentioned seem sad, I am still enjoying life so please don't be too afraid to grow old  up. Peace out!

Thank you for reading!


Love,
Sheryn

Hard Rock Hotel Penang is back with their splendid spread of holly jolly Christmas buffets this December! Let me just talk about the good ol' times... Nobody knows the feeling of missing a place as much as I missed Hard Rock Hotel Penang. Oh, the smell, the sound, the entire ambiance! It felt so so good to be back to where I belong. It felt like home... Just like going home for Christmas!

This year Hard Rock Hotel Penang will be offering its Christmas spreads on 24th and 25th December. There will be a buffet dinner on Christmas Eve and buffet lunch on Christmas Day.

On Christmas Eve, there will be a Rock N' Roll Buffet at Starz Diner from 6.30pm to 10.30pm. Read on for more info on the pricing and other stuff at the bottom of this post! I am so fortunate to be able to taste some of the delectable picks from the spread. Patrons get to enjoy a wide selection of yummy food from seafood on ice, sushi bar, carving station, action station, Asian cuisine and more. The highlight of the buffet as suggested by the hotel is the Confit of Duck Leg & Pink Radish with Cinnamon Apple. I personally tasted this dish and I would say that it did not disappoint. I am a duck meat fan and I love the blend of savory and sweet in this dish especially the cinnamon apple strips. They go so well with the duck leg!

Beetroot Tartare with Mango & Seared Scallops (Pizzeria NYE) 
Watermelon Kerabu with Thai Sauce (NYE)


Sashimi Selection


Seafood Paella with Saffron Rice (Christmas Day)

Turkey Consomme with Mushroom Dumpling (Christmas Eve)
The Mushroom dumpling is da bomb! I have never tasted this before. It's something like ravioli but not ravioli, such a smart invention to mix Asian and Western cuisine. Good job, chef! The dumplings will be served with soup. It's such a warm dish. I love this!
