Do I need to explain much on the richness of vegetables and fruits? We are often being reminded to consume greens for healthier living.
Married life somehow made me a little different than before, lately, I am in love with blending all the fruits added with yogurt which we called "SMOOTHIE". Mr. Husband do love the smoothies and he finished them within minutes! With all the benefits from fruits and vegetables, we just have to blend them into one and it is pulp/ fiber-filled. Easy breakfast and detoxing, certainly skin will be radiant in a healthy way.
- 橙汁 Orange Juices -
橙子。 我们用的果汁机是普通的, 所以它的成果就是我的果汁与冰沙是含有镐钎维的!
Oranges. Vitamin C in a bottle. Bought my individual blender and it was fun using it. It was my first trial and only we knew how many huge size oranges inside our fridge!
- 水果冰沙 Fruits Smoothies -
橙子,柠檬片, 木瓜以及酸奶。也可以加入冰块。
Orange, Slice of skinned lemon, Papaya and Yogurt. With additional iced drink, add in ice cubes!
Tomatoes, Apples, Bananas, Lemon slices, Oranges and Yogurt.
Blending in whatever fruits we love with yogurt and milk. There won't be anyone stopping us to do that!
Besides fruits, we can add Oats, Chia seeds, green vegetables like spinach, carrots, cucumbers and more for juices and smoothies. There's always a try and error session there, do add sweetener (eg. honey) as an option.
When your house have lots of fruits and can't finish them, blend them and share with your family and friends!
The following images are the fruits and vegetables benefits that suitable for smoothies and juices. Do read up for your smoothies ideas! Just add in sweetener if you need.
Wanted to dine in at this cafe for quite sometimes and finally, we had our brunch at Socialize Cafe before time up for our facial booking. :) It was a while since the last meeting with Calista. ;)

他们在准备过程也算是有一点慢, 也幸运我们选择的食物还有饮品还不错。以下是我们那天的选择。
The cup of coffee I had the other day. Overall, they took quite sometime to prepare their food and beverage tho. Being less selective, overall the food we had was okay, glad we ordered correctly. The next were those that we had that day. :) Enjoy!

我们俩见面的早午餐。 :) 好了, 到此为止了!祝你们有个愉快的星期!
Those were the ones we had! I think I may not try their western grilled series, as such I heard that it wasn't right when they tried it previously. The chicken was tasteless.
From KL to GuiLin, finally we arrived the first destination. Flight was smooth and the city was beautifully sighted. :) Just to let you know, Gui Lin is truly beautiful as we heard and seen from online. A place that is worth to visit.
Guilin is a prefecture-level city in the northeast of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China, situated on the west bank of the Li River, and bordering Hunan to the north. Its name means, "Forest of Sweet Osmanthus",
owing to the large number of fragrant Sweet Osmanthus trees located in
the city. The city has long been renowned for its scenery of karst topography and is one of China's most popular tourist destinations - Wikipedia
- 龙泽茶酒坊 The First Meal in GuiLin -
享用了一些特别的中国菜色。 太极羹与茶香东波肉。真的让我们打开眼界的太极羹, 青色是磨出来的茶。
Dishes served was quite special, never tried Tai Chi Soup and the Pork braised with tea. The taste and smell certainly different from what we had usual.

就往酒店外看看,这就是酒店外的景色。平静的桂林市。
From where we stayed, it looks like GuiLin such a calm place to stay. It was breezy during the trip we went in end of October, 2014.
- 市场 The Market -
让我们理解了道地的生活方式, 我们也到了附近的市场逛逛看看不一样的市场。
They say we can understand the local lifestyle through the market. We did walk to the nearest market to have a look. Gosh! Fruits were sweet and things were fresh!
- 一种果子 My mom love this -
这还是第一次看到他们的制作过程。
“Lem She", a type a fruit which is easily found in China, it normally found during its season.
The fruit where we can't frequently found at our local supermarket. There were two types as what I understand, the fresh one and the preserved one as above.
- 市场 The Market -
我们的领队带着我们去买些超值的食品, 依然每次都那么风趣的领队!
Our tour guide brought us to visit there, so many goods to see and experience. Yet, so colourful.

短短的一篇文章也解释了那天早上与下午的“探险”。更多故事分享就拭目以待吧!
That's complete our day time GuiLin on the first day! Looking forward to write more on the beautiful China and Vietnam trip!
Sitting in Little Kitchen certainly bring back a lot of amazing memories. Memories of traveling solo, with love ones and any thing you might think of. :)
I wanted to visit this cozy little cafe for quite sometimes, and since the day my mom and sisters went there without me! Finally got to visit it with #Saturdate during one fine Saturday and another visit after. I even got the opportunity to sit in at the same venue with the famous Taiwanese Travel Blogger (雪儿旅游杂记)who was meeting a local Sabahan.
- 卡普奇诺 Cappuccino -
还蛮舒服的一间邻家咖啡馆, 很简单的一间,也充满了梦想旅游的一间。
I enjoyed the time chit chatting with friends at The Little Kitchen, certainly cozy and so many details to admire, Yuan Yuan (the owner) do keep a lot of "Treasure" at the cafe, I guess almost 98% were from the trips she went to all these years.
I spotted "The House of Clay" of Yong Ding, China's postcard! Boy, somehow I do miss a bit of China in that beautiful scenery. Paris! Borneo! Rome! So many to admire!
Okay, here's two of the dishes we during our first visit.
- 炒蛋与烤面包 Omelet with Toast -
- 三明治 Sandwiches -
他家的美食是很家庭式的。快熟面, 果汁也有。这是我蛮喜欢的一间咖啡馆, 也会约朋友来喝茶的一间!
In fact, the dishes served basically tasted home cook. Which many people will like in a sense whereby mother always say "Home cook better! More healthy!" It just The Little Kitchen's style, passionately run by a couple who love to eat too!
Well, don't expect too high, because it's a cozy little cafe run by young couple and friends! I simply love this type of homey cafe. :)

It's been a long relax holiday. Busy with so many little things that some of you might be wondering. :)
Well, I do have friends and clients who asked me whether I'm still in to blogging or not? In fact, YES! Passion with meeting new people and learning new things. :) And of course! Indulging new food!
Laugh is all I have and guess what?! I have a new laptop to play with! So glad to have it finally!

Weeks ago, I was invited by Petronas to the launching of #tanahairku 3.0 which Sabah, Sarawak and Johor were selected to held this unique event! Interesting yet close to our Malaysian heart. I love art, culture and heritage.
那天收到 Petronas 的 #tanahairku 3.0 开幕邀请,也是我感兴趣的马来西亚本地彩色壁画位于亚庇的市中心。精彩哦!今年 #tanahairku 3.0 选择了沙巴、 沙捞越与柔佛举办这项活动, 以马来西亚文化标题为主。沙巴 Cracko Art Group 画家们加入了沙巴文化在他们的壁画中。
- BAH -
A local language close to Sabahan. Ended with 'bah' almost every day conversation!
我看每个沙巴汉都很熟悉的一个字 'BAH', 天天都会说的!
- The Opening of #tanahairku 开幕典礼 -
The most 'sporting' Tourism Minister we have! Met him many times in local events.
Do you see the wall mural created by Cracko Art Group which on the right of the above photo and which located at Wisma Sabah on Jalan Haji Saman, the building next to Suria Sabah? That is one of the art work for #tanahairku 3.0. The story of Huminodun, the colour of Sabah flag et cetera. Every element applied represent the local lifestyle and heritage.
拿督 Masidi 是开幕典礼的重要人物, 很常都可以看到他本人在各种活动被受邀请的。
在此相片的右边可以看见其中之一的壁画, 位于Wisma Sabah, Jalan Haji Saman. 采用沙巴州旗的颜色以及传说中的Huminodun 作为题材。
- Flash Mob of #tanahairku 3.0 舞蹈与歌唱 -
With singing and dancing (traditional and new) by local artists, the event was such a happening one! Glad to be there to celebrate such a meaningful launching. The campaign held by Petronas was a subtle reminder to the younger generation about what makes Malaysia special.
The artists who collaborated with Petronas for #tanahairku 3.0 campaign. According to reliable sources, there were a total of 22 streets artists have been commissioned to paint 10 selected walls in Kota Kinabalu and Johor Bahru for #tanahairku 3.0 campaign.
The other wall mural can be spotted at Wisma Intiutama of Lorong Dewan. BAH! Blending in the element of local unique culture heritage, can you see and imagine? Simpoton (A native music instrument), Rafflesia, Kadazan culture and others.
另一个壁画是位于Wisma Intiutama, Lorong Dewan. 加入了沙巴文化在内的一幅画, 真心的给Cracko Art Group 一个赞!连夜把这两幅画完成的, 很多年轻人都关注那几天连夜的作品。
- With the local artists 本地歌手 -
I think it was the first time to see them personally, friendly personal!
As promised, it's finally screening this September!
The moment that we waiting for and excited about! Are you excited? I know I'm a bit nervous and gosh, how would I look like on screen. Time do flies, it was like yesterday when the video shooting taken part in April. :) Sabahan will recognise those shops I guess, in KK and Tamparuli in fact.
Here are some of the behind the screens, check it out!
If any one of you watching it, do tag me at my Facebook Page at Meitzeu's Blog or Instagram @meitzeu! If you can't make it to watch the episode at 3.30pm, do watch it from tonton.com.my, we can watch the episode from there as well!
There's only two episode for Sabah in “Foodie Blogger 3”! Do watch Joanne from Sabaheatswho introduced the best of Kota Kinabalu food on this week and mine in next week!
Those evergreen taste that KK people knows! Non the less, I don't think I need to include those which are highly recommended online and including those which are overate as well. In this entry, I will recommend those that us, locals normally go instead.
东炎!FRESH PRAWN TOM YUM!
我未成放弃过的一样美食! 来这间茶店必定要吃的!
I
always love to eat spicy food and the he fact is, it has been years I
never walk off from the previous shop the stall at. Recently (currently
April 2016), the stall has been moved to have a restaurant operated by
Ah Chee himself! Yup! Its him, and now with more selection.
阿志 Tom Yum (Ah Zhi Tom Yum)
地点
Location : Segama, next to Orange Convenient Store, can be seen from
the main road. Its opposite row from behind Horizon Hotel.
Being a Sabahan, we do love "yum cha" (a local dialect meaning a cup of drink"). Aside from having latte from expensive cafes, we opt for the local classic taste when we are in town. So here are TWO recommendations and just I love!

沙巴生肉面! SABAH MUST EAT SANG NYUK MIAN!
来沙巴该吃人人介绍的生肉面! 没吃的, 哪里可说来过呢? 嘻嘻 :)
Many said that if you happen to visit Sabah, you MUST EAT Sang Nyuk Mian,
otherwise you never came here! There's a long list of where to eat Sang
Nyuk Mian, so I'm going to cut it short to two restaurants that I prefer
to have my bowl.

点心! DIM SUM TIME!
我爱点心!
I
love Dim Sum and I guess many of us do. Restaurant serving Dim Sum are
so packed in town. The one I prefer the most is the following
restaurant. Non the less, I still likes it although we knew that it
will be
quite thirsty after consumption. And just to let you know, they still
maintain the
taste for so many years!
地点 Location : The Peak Vista (I love to be here), Gaya Street (second choice to be at) and Wisma Merdeka.
锅贴 水饺
本地人的小吃。 在亚庇, 卖着锅贴水饺有好多家。 在这篇文章我觉得不错的是这几家。
We called it as dumplings, either served with fried or boiled. Normally we can find it at local coffee shops, a small stall around the corner. Dumplings should be said as a side dish or snack during tea time or small eateries (light meals).
地点 Location : 津津茶室 Jin Jin Restaurant at Lintas Square, 莲华楼 Lotus Coffee Shop at Dah Yeh and 琼兴 Kheng Hin Kopitiam at Luyang.
