Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme

My favorite skincare from Ole Henriksen

Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Cream

It's November already, which means 1 month to go to the busiest month of the year. Final exams,  Christmas, winter holiday, and there are more things to prepare at this time. However, in between my full schedule, I make a little time to write this blogpost, because I'm so amazed with this beauty product. Well, it comes from my favorite brand (lately), which is Ole Henriksen. After I feel a good result from Ole Henriksen Lemon Facial Peel, I started to search more about other products from this brand. I've tried the eye cream which works very well on me (click here to read more about it), and then I found something that sounds great from this American beauty brand. It's Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme. I heard about this product last year, precisely at December 2018. At that time, it was a new product and luckily, I could find it easily at Sephora Australia. Another luck for me, at that moment I was having holiday in Sydney. So I didn't want to missed any chance with this interesting product, and I just put it on my shopping basket. Yup, I'm a #beautyaddict

Price at Sephora Australia - AUD $90

Looking at the picture above, you might be shock with the price. $90 for a jar of night cream, it's not cheap at all. Therefore, I put a big expectation on this product. And as I was saying, it didn't disappointed at all. Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme is a cream that you use at night, during your sleep time. As you know, when you're sleeping at night, your skin will be at "repair mode", and it will looks fresher in the morning. This sleeping cream helps to maximize the process by exfoliating the skin surface and make it glowing. It contains AHA and bakuchiol - which is a plant based alternative to retinol. With this formula, the usage of this cream can be used to treat any signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, and freckles.

The ingredients of Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme

Besides those main ingredients, this sleeping creme also contains Edelweiss stem cell which helps to firm and improve elasticity. Therefore, after use this cream overnight, you can see the result right at the next morning. A bright, glowing and deeply hydrated skin - is yours.

Why I love Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme?
First, of course because if the result which I could see immediately. Second, it's because of the smell. The smell of this cream is absolutely lovely. It comes with sweet fragrance - like a bubble gum I guess, which is good to relax your mind while you're sleeping. And can you see the color? It's purple! How cute it is. It's the first time for me to see a skincare with purple color. The texture is quite thick and greasy, but it's still acceptable and perfect for night usage when you're skin needs to be more hydrated.

It has light purple color and thick texture

Will I repurchase this sleeping cream?
Yes. Of course. Definitely. So far Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow Retin-ALT Sleeping Creme is my favorite night skin care, and I'm pretty sure you're gonna like it too.

The Best BBQ Pork Ribs in Sydney : Hurricane's Grill VS Ribs & Burger

BBQ Pork Ribs at Hurricane's Grill - $59

BBQ Pork Ribs - who doesn't love it?? Grilled delicious pork ribs mixed with tasty BBQ sauce, it's a paradise for a "carnivore". This meat dish is our family favorite food, and we always looking for that wherever we travel, including in Sydney. There are some popular restaurants in Sydney that well known for their pork ribs. I've tried most of them, but there are 2 restaurants that I think they have the best pork ribs - Hurricane's Grill and Ribs & Burgers. At this post, I'll make a comparison between those restaurant, and I gonna tell you which one is the best, in my opinion.

Dinner at Hurricane's Grill - Top Ryde, Sydney

Hurricane's Grill
Everybody knows Hurricane's Grill. They have many restaurants not just in Sydney, but also at other countries. There are several branches in Sydney, but the most popular one is at Darling Harbour. I've dinner twice at Hurricane's Grill, first at the Darling Harbour, and the second at Top Ryde. They have the same menu, and same taste as well. I was having dinner at Top Ryde branch only because it was full at Darling Harbour.

I decided to have a dinner at Hurricane's Grill after got a recommendation from my mom in law. She had a dinner there before and she said that the meat was really tender and also come in huge size.  First impression, yesssss. It looks appetizing from the size and its glazzy sauce. But how about the taste?

The meat was not as tender as people talking about. The BBQ sauce was really tasty. However I only could taste it at the outside part. The inside part, it was really bland. The good things from this plate was the sweet potato chips as a side dish. It's the best sweet potato chips ever...

Pork Knuckle - $40

I might be dissapointed with the pork ribs, but I liked the other dish that I ordered - Pork Knuckle. I liked pork knuckle especially when it cooked this way. Crispy at the outside, but very juicy and tender at the inside. It served with gravy sauce and apple puree which makes it perfect..

Pork Baby Back at Ribs & Burger $39,9

Ribs & Burgers
This restaurant also have some branches in Sydney. But I was having dinner at Ribs & Burgers - Neutral Bay. First time I saw this place, I didn't know that they also popular. I just randomly looking for a restaurant around the apartment (where we stayed) for a family dinner. Knowing they serve pork ribs BBQ, I decided to give them a try.

The pork ribs size was much smaller than the one at Hurricane's Grill, and it served with not so fancy plate. Because of its presentation, I had doubts about the taste. Well, when people say "Don't judge a book by its cover", I think it's a perfect words for this dish. The meat was really really tender, and not just that. It has a very rich flavors, until I could taste the sauce at the inside part of the meat.

Super soft and delicious "Garlic Bread" at Hurricane's Grill

Which one is the best? Hurricane's Grill or Ribs & Burgers?
For the taste of bbq pork ribs, I'd said that Ribs & Burgers is the best one. I've been eating pork ribs everywhere, but this one was very tender delicious. However, for other dishes including the side dish (sweet potato fries), Hurricane's Grill is better. And another plus point for Hurricane's Grill, it has a great location - at Darling Harbour - where you can have a dinner and watch fireworks show every Saturday night.

Celsius Coffee Co - The Best Place for Having Breakfast in Sydney

Hey all!
If you're looking at my Instagram feed lately, you'd see it's full with my pictures (with my family) while we were on vacation in Sydney. Yup, it was last month, and I still remember our happiness at that moment. I really miss their summer weather at night and I also miss our culinary journey. Just liked a starving peoples, we never stopped eating and drinking because everything so delicious. We stopped in almost every coffee shops, bakery, and even at the bubble tea shops. To be honest, the reason why I love food in Sydney is not just because of the good taste, but also because of their ingredients are very healthy. You can see how Australian serve tasty yet healthy food from their breakfast dishes. Australian peoples always serve a plate full of healthy ingredients with a good taste for breakfast. Sorry to say this, but it was totally different with our daily breakfast which mostly Indonesian food that full of unhealthy carbs (read : rice).

A healthy breakfast

Since I know Australia very well known for their breakfast (or usually called brekkie) menu, I was looking for the best place for having breakfast in Sydney. I found several answers and I was trying to visit them every morning. However, there's one place that I think it's the best place for having breakfast in Sydney. It's Celsius Coffee Co.

Kirribilli Wharf, Sydney

Celsius Coffee Co is a very popular place for having breakfast in Sydney. It's located at Kirribilli Commuter Terminal Wharf, which could be reached easily by taking ferry from Circular Quay. Looking at the picture above you must be think this place was overrated because of its location. "A beautiful harbour view, with ordinary taste yet expensive food" - it must be something that you think about this place. Well, I'd confessed that I also thought like that at the first time. But it's all changed after I had a breakfast there.

The crowd at Celsius Coffee Co

At the weekdays, Celsius Coffee Co open at 7.30AM, while at the weekend they open at 8AM. We arrived at 8.30AM at the weekend, and we waited for around 30 minutes to get a table. Actually at that time it's not too crowded. However, since their place was just on the ferry wharf, so they have a limited tables and we needed to take turn with other customers. FYI, reservation is not accepted here. So you need to come earlier if you don't want to wait too long.

Delicious pastry at Celsius Coffee Co

While waiting for the table, we bought some croissants that they sell. The price was slightly cheaper than other pastry shops in Sydney. But it taste so delicious. Not just croissants, they also sell doughnuts which looks yumm.

Callebaut Hot Chocolate - $5,5 & Chai Latte - $5,5

I looked at the menu and realized they don't have a lot of variant for their food. They only serve some simple breakfast dishes, but all of them sounds tasty. We ordered a plate of savory food and a plate of sweet dishes to share, not forgetting a cup of chai latte and a cup of hot chocolate because the temparature was getting lower at that time.

Celsius Breakfast - $19
Let's talk about the savory dish that we ordered. Celsius Breakfast is the most complete breakfast dishes at this cafe. This menu comes with a toast, sauteed mushrooms, avocado, jamon, and eggs. You can choose whether the eggs want to be fried or poached. But I prefer the poached eggs for breakfast. This simple yet healthy dish taste very good. It's not blend and seasoned perfectly. I love the mushroom & jamon very much.

Celsius Waffle at Celsius Coffee Co

Celsius Waffle - $19
Next is the sweet dish. As you can see, the presentation of this food was really outstanding. A round shaped waffle with colorful berries on top, makes it looks beautiful. But not just the presentation, it also has a very delicious taste - especially the peanut butter cream. It has a very unique taste which I never found anywhere.

I love all of their dishes, and no wonder Celsius Coffee Co always has a place in every lists that talked about the best place for having breakfast in Sydney. Anyway, if you want a simple breakfast, you can create your own like Ivan did.
