Hi, this is a gift tag ordered by my sister in law for her wedding this week. Remember my posting here? She wanted a pink gift tag following the wedding theme which unfortunately there are no suitable patterned paper at the market. Thus, I just use some patterned paper that can be coordinated with pink. To be more pinkish, I add some pink and cream leaves to the gift tag.

I hope she like her wedding gift tag :)

So cute from Basil Bang

So cute from Basil Bang.

Basil Bang produces big umbrellas with a great design for beach-goers and poolside revelers. I do think that this umbrella is very suitable for Malaysia hot sun. A very suitable items for picnic at the parks and of course the beaches. Very suitable too for a fancy restaurant that has tables outside the food station.

What do you think?

Sarawak Layer Cake

Sarawak Layer Cake
or in Bahasa, people call it as Kek Lapis Sarawak;

is a very beautiful and delicious cakes only made in Sarawak. I'm not sure the history or the origin of the cakes but people said it comes from Indonesia. The main important thing is that this cake absolutely famous for their detailed designs which not many people has a patient to do it.

Read here for more info about this amazing cake.

I just got back from Sarawak recently and I can't wait to share with you guys about this cakes. As mentioned previously (so so so many), this cakes designs are so amazing. The cakes are layered to one another to form a beautiful design. My little brothers love these cakes so much especially the most bright and colorful one.If asking about the taste, it is much more like a butter cakes with an extra taste such as chocolate, sweet sour and so on, depending on the bakers creativity.

At Sarawak, I visit Mira Cake House at Kuching Waterfront, here is their main blog. My friend who work at Sarawak told us that people who live around Kuching prefer Mira Cake House as their cakes are so moister. While for people who live in Peninsular Malaysia, they prefer cakes from Dayang Salhah. Believe me, Mira Cake House produce a much better cakes than Dayang Salhah as I already tried both.

And don't worry, both cakes supplier produce a halal cakes.

Here are some pictures taken at Mira Cake House.

For more articles about my trip, you can go to my other blog here :) But maybe there is some delay about Sarawak trip as I'm not that fast in updating my blog :)

This patterned seem so small but it is ok when you look at the whole dining area. Yup, I put this sticker at the dining area just above the dining table.

This is a clear sticker which stick so strong. I'm not sure how to put it down when it's time we need to move out but let not think about it yet. The design is great and placed at the right place.Yes, we have a guitar even though I never seen it being played. :)

In overall, I'm satisfied with both purchased and services by IR Korea Decor. I'm strongly suggest this product to you guys.
