The Counter Malaysia At Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

Tucked in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur's Dining Loft, The Counter Malaysia is a little haven away from the hustle and bustle of my usual food haunts. The warm lighting and the hanging lights make for a cosy dinner setting (or lunch if that is your preference?). The wait staff were friendly and attentive. It took a while (20 minutes or so) for them to prepare our order during peak hours but it was well worth the wait! Everything at The Counter is done...

Gucci Bamboo Eau De Parfum

One of Gucci's most recognisable design signatures, the bamboo, makes an appearance in its fragrance collection. Aptly named Gucci Bamboo, its sensorial composition draws inspiration from the Gucci woman's harmonious dichotomy. She balances strength and confidence with her innate femininity. She bends yet she does not break. She is full of vitality, she is adaptable, and she faces life's changes with ease. She is an alluring mix of many sides. "Being...
