City Gardening KL is back again and this round they have grown bigger compared to when they first started, if you're curious, read up my previous post City Gardening Min Fair Christmas Market HERE City Gardening 3.0 will have more than 20 booths for you to shop at over 3 floors, if you're a pant lover this is a plant market you should not miss! 

City Gardening 3.0 was held on 4th till 7th November 2021 at The Linc KL from 10am till 10pm and as usual, I had a great time shopping there and I was really swept off my feet with the variety of plants in all sizes available and all-around rare plants that I've never seen before!

Fans of Anthurium check out Meow Plants they've also got gorgeous staghorn ferns that I was debating whether or not to bring home, another one of my favorites has got to be May's Nepenthes Malaysia, they've got the cutest carnivorous plants for you to choose from and brought home 2 species - pitcher & venus flytrap!  

Found this beautiful Begonia Ferox from @baloo.jungle & Begonia White Ice from @plantygoddesgarden to my Begonia Collection 💚

City Gardening KL is my one-stop plant market for sure, it sure feels good to support the local vendors and the plant community like Plant Swag & Klang Valley Plant Acquisition for plant exchange activities, since I only came on Saturday I only manage to join Plant Swag. 

To learn more about the City Gardening KL visit their social media heard that there's another event coming up in December just before the year ends, go ahead and swing by and bring a little piece of botanical goodness home with you.

It's the end of November 2021 and I can't believe how this year just flew past me, it was just tensed, busy, busy, and tense, the lockdown really affected me mentally and physically but whatever it is, it['s coming to an end, let's look towards a brighter path.  

Penang has always been my favorite state and I'm really grateful for my friends over there, whenever I visited for work they'll always make time for me and be my companion. Anway we needed a spot to relax and we found Fly Me To, a camping themed cafe located on the rooftop of Wow Hotel, parking is not easy as the hotel doesn't have parking but you can check out the open space car park at the top of the street and walk a lil to the hotel. 

We arrived before the evening around late 4pm, Fly Me To has a boho-chic vibes to it, the interior is a glasshouse concept while the exterior has 5 tent seating, we didn't make a booking but lucky enough there was one last tent available, so we got to experience the vibes. 

There's a catch to dine inside the tent a minimum spend of RM150 of 90 minutes, we stayed a lil longer they weren't too fussy about that. Each tent has a private air cond but it was still pretty hot thou, unfortunately, Malaysia's heat is just not so comfortable but what the heck it's for the gram 😂

Their menu is basic comfort food like pasta, steaks and snacks & bites, the main attention is focused on the concept and decor of the cafe, which is fine with me because that's what I came for anyway, as for drinks there's a variety of coffee, tea, alcohol, and photogenic rooftop coolers.

Here's their soft launch menu, wish they'll elaborate more so customers know what to expect.

We ordered their Picnic Basket RM58 comes with a variety of finger food like nuggets, truffle fries, cheese rice balls, potato croquet, these were pretty good for 3 of us and all of us liked it #approved

I like the touch of vibes at Fly Me To, the waiters were attentive, the food wasn't really appealing to me but it's still their soft launch menu and everyone deserves a chance, will check them out again, price wise is not entirely pocket friendly but the boho-chic vibes is a great attraction, reservations are recommended if you'll like to experience the outdoor tents, otherwise the glasshouse can be a pretty spot for pictures as well.

It goes without saying that you need to know everything about the milk formula you are feeding your child! It is our responsibility as parents! Read on to learn more.

From one parent to another, we know that at one point in time, you must have asked your friends and family about the criteria of choosing a formula milk for children! More often than not, you will hear them say criteria such as price and amount of fortified ingredients. Little did you know, the origins of the formula is also an important consideration factor. 

Where did your child’s formula milk originate from?

Did you know that most formula milk products are NOT manufactured in Europe or other Western countries such as Australia and New Zealand? As a matter of fact, most of them are manufactured right here in Southeast Asia! Naturally, you will be wondering about the difference between formula milk that’s produced in Western countries and Southeast Asian countries.

It boils down to the manufacturing process, whether it is a single or double manufacturing process.

Single manufacturing process vs double manufacturing process

A double manufacturing process uses milk/susu that is sourced from Western countries such as Europe. The milk will be processed into powder and exported to Asia, where different brands will add fortified ingredients to the formula. This manufacturing process is the only choice for brands that don’t own the farms or cows. During this manufacturing process, the milk powder is subjected to multiple heat treatments and might lose all its natural nutrients. 

Meanwhile, a single manufacturing process uses milk/susu that is sourced and processed in the same country. This means that the milk is transported straight from farms to factories at the right temperature. The single manufacturing process is definitely better, simply because the products will go through fewer heat treatments and have more of their natural nutrients preserved. 

What makes a brand that uses the single manufacturing process better?

Brands that employ this process are fully responsible for the entire process and will have no need for third party involvement. It also means that the brand owns the farm, and is able to provide an optimal atmosphere for the cows to thrive. Then, when the milk is transported, it is done so at the right temperature, producing a milk formula that is truly beneficial for your little one. Most importantly, before the milk is turned into powder, it will be carefully tested for the right color and scent to ensure that it is of the highest quality

In giving the best to our children as parents, it is crucial to know your chosen formula milk brand inside out, and that includes the source of the milk formula they consume. A little effort goes a long way.

In conjunction with Guardian Malaysia's 54th anniversary, the group launched its #guardiancare initiative to focus on caring for the health of customers and the community.

#guardiancare is a sustainability initiative, that cares for you and your family, the shopping choices you make, and also for the community you live in. Guardian hopes to inspire and empower customers to make healthy and sustainable choices when it comes to choosing the health and beauty brands they trust at Guardian.  At the end of the day, we want our customers to ‘care’ about what they buy and in turn, make the environment better, together we can make a difference. 

Consequently, the initiative is centered around ‘because I care’ sentiment,  and will focus on three key pillars connected to Guardian’s brand purpose. 

#1 Health – good health and well-being of our customers and the communities

#2 Community – educating the community on their health concerns

#3 Environment – promoting responsible consumption and production practices, reducing single plastic use

There is also a Shop, Wave and Win contest with MyDebit running from 1 October until 31 December 2021.  All customers need to do is to spend a minimum of RM30 in a single receipt by using MyDebit with their ATM card and stand a chance to win a share of prizes worth RM520,000 over three monthly draws.  Additionally, there is also a GrabPay deal where customers will get a RM6 discount with a minimum spend of RM60 on a single receipt using GrabPay valid from 1 to 31 October 2021.
