RE:DO - Enjoy the experience in the Hair Salon like never before

Hola Beautylicious. We meet again in this post. About few weeks ago, I had my girls’ day outing with my beloved Meryll Chan. We decided to have a brunch at one of the nice café in Solaris. The outing was great. We both love coffee. But my hair was not so great. So, after brunch I wanted to have my hair wash and blow. So, we were looking around at the salon nearby. We wondered around for few minutes, then I stopped and was looking at the price list at the glass window outside of one of the outlet. From the service list and price, I was certain that this must be a hair salon! Then, I went inside and was totally confused with the interior. Wondering if I was wrong because this outlet look like a café!! Plus, there are coffee machine on the table!! I re-confirmed again with a girl at the counter and she then confirmed that this is Hair Salon called RE:DO.

See!!! there is a coffee maker here. freshly made for you!!!

My jaw almost drops to the floor because of heart shock! I then interviewed the manager in-charge, Ms. Grace and she mentioned that this concept salon was develop for guest who want to experience new journey while having their hair services!!.  The owner, Mr. Paulus is an Indonesian and this outlet is his second branch. This outlet is already in operation for more than a year. First branch located in Jakarta.

I was totally amazed with the interior because I never experienced such cozy and so breath taking hair salon before. This outlet yet has given me another perception and different air about beauty.

Sue, whom was attended to me that day said that she been working there for almost a year. After the washing session, she performed a very good head massage, then she went lower to my neck, shoulder and lastly to my back!!! Woahh!! That’s even something NEW for me. My whole back body were massaged and I feel more relax!!

After that, Sue brought me to the back – the washing basin area. This place was set-up in sitting motion. Then, she dried my hair. I had my hair set by Ms. Irene. Her magical touch transform my hair from dull and sticky looking into vavavoom!!

My Wonder Food Journey

"Where does the VIXEN eat??" Yup thats right!! But, why VIXEN? 

Hohoho.. what happened was, on that day I decided to disguise as a VIXEN (female version of fox). Well you know "what does the fox say" song by "Yves" kinda hit right?.. So I was doing their parody in food hunting version.

Alright, lets flashback to what happened on that day. On 16th November 2013, at about 11 am, me and fellow blogger friends (CP, Shivani, Aliza and Claudine) registered at The Butterfly Project Booth. The registration counter is located at the LG floor (near McD Restaurant).

Me with Shivani, Claudine and CP. Image Credit: CP

Each of us were given a passport with the details of the restaurants and map (5 of them were coloured in pink) where its a compulsory for us to visit these stores. Not only that, we were also given a goody bag full with stuff - courtesy by 1 Utama Shopping Centre!! So many things inside and its so heavy but Trimas very much!!! I was the happy VIXEN!!

The passport.

The map - for our guide to locate the participating restaurant.

After went through the name of the restaurants at the passport, we immediately taken our immediate steps to the nearest restaurant. Well. we were so hungry and yet had breakfast earlier. Furthermore,  some of us even skipped their dinner a day before. So you can imagine how starves we were and we hunted the food like a wild.. hohoho!!

We took our first stop at the BBQ Chicken!! They provide varieties selection of chicken dishes that originated from Korea and was founded in September 1995. Their specialty? BBQ Chicken is the first brand that uses 100% Olive Oil from Spain for frying. Because of this, the chicken are healthy, not oily and the original taste of the chicken is well preserve.

Then we went to our second store, Lammeeya which the name is originated from their famous dish; "Lam Mee". They offered an authentic chinese crusine.This is non-halal restaurant.

"In the 1950’s, the noodle “Loh Mee” which was very popular among the Chinese in Northern Malaysia was slowly becoming famous in Ipoh and KL. There were many Cantonese in the central and southern part of Malaysia. To suit their taste, the chef improved and modified the thick broth to a lighter taste and at the same time keeping to its original taste. It is named “Lam Mee” based on the Cantonese dialect. Other than having the strong aroma of “Lam Mee”, the “Lam Mee” also have a smooth texture which causes one to hunger for more. It has become one of the favorite noodles dishes among the Chinese in central and southern part of Malaysia."

Then, we preceded further to our 4th stop. Its called Molten LAVA Cafe. its located at Lot LG312B, (opposite Cold Storage) Lower Ground Floor Oval, One Utama Shopping Centre. Tel : 03-7725 1777; Email : molten.lava@yahoo.com. This Cafe provides dessert type of dish. Their specialty is churros. We had our chance to try their specialty churros in cinnamon sugar flavour!! so yummy!!

I didn't know what I was doing!!!

Welcome; please come in!!

Me tried the Churros. Yummy. Image Credit: CP

After tried the churros, we went to Pao Xiang Bak Kut Teh. Unlike any other Bak Kut Teh, their "String Tied Meat" is more aromatic and taste far greater. The visitor will definitely savor how gently the meat dissolves in the mouth; followed with a concentrated explosion of great taste. This is non-halal restaurant.
