A full-on party went down at Tujo (formerly known as 789) at Ascott last week, when GAB launched their Oktoberfest, season 2013. Complete with a prince. We tried to get the prince drunk, but he wasnt a great drinker. We all kinda know what Oktoberfest is. Its drinking season. Coz Prince...
We need to thank Timeout KL for compiling a list of 10 bars that have the best deals, promos and happy hours. Been to all of em cept Studio, and they check out. The list sure saves the hassle of lookin for deals, and answers a question Im often asked. Have a look here. Enjoy! [...]
Paulaner is one of em popular beers for Oktoberfest, a 16-day festival that takes place in Germanys Bavaria, specifically in Munich. However it actually ends in early October. Strange. Probably too damn cold to go on. The party started in 1810, coz Prince Ludwig married someone. And they lived...
A new brand of vodka has arrived, Royal Dragon. And the kick-ass party was at Marinis On 57. Its kinda brings together different angles from various countries combining the best ingredients from around the world – Russian vodka, 23-carat Swiss gold, the Asian dragon, diamonds from...
Diageo ran a tasting recently of several of their single malt whisky brands, and it was goood. Single malt whisky is a whisky made from only one type of malted grain and distilled at one particular distillery. Single malts are traditionally made from barley cultivated near the actual distillery. Other...
September 27, at Sepang. Its definitely bigger and bolder this time. The day is a tribute to Arthur Guinness, the founder of Guinness. The media launch of the event was great, and happened at KL Live. The artists performing on the 27th? The Wanted, All American Rejects and Five for Fighting. So the...
Yea, its here. Absolut Hibiskus is now available in KL and the rest of Malaysia, as well as duty-free. The kick-ass launch party was last Friday, and it was good. Lots of Hibiskus too, served via two varieties of cocktails. It went down at The Poppy Lounge, which has been extensively renovated and...
Wine Journey is a regular wine education session by Wine Daddy. No, its not a pimp, but a tutor who takes a small class over a couple of hours. The Wine Daddy is Prakash, who has the sessions at Sanctuary@7, his awesome residence in Damansara Heights, KL. I had the opportunity to checkout his wine...
Absolut has jigged an overhaul of the packaging for all its fruit flavours, sayin its “one of the most dramatic changes we’ve made” to the vodka brand. The designs dodge fruit imagery and use “symbolism and myths” attached to the fruits instead. The skin redesign covers all Absolut fruit...
Hit it for a quick visit. Been too long. Was happy to see a bunch of dogs welcome me. And had a great dinner at Antaress neighbours place Mary.
Bars have been the focal point of communities for centuries. It brings people together in a happy, jovial and tipsy environment, and i do feel sorry for anyone who has never been in one. Like my letter in The Star in response to an alcophobic said, To many of us, having a drink is a [...]
I love islands. So it was great when our company did five days on Tioman Island. The island is duty-free, and i scored a bottle of vodka (Stoli Chocolate Raspberry) and two rums (Captain Morgan Black, and Mr Boston (West Indies) for a total of bout 100 bucks! While i was chillin in the pool [...]
Johnnie Walker has really bolted with the lead in terms of value worldwide. It totally trashed the others by far. Its brand value is US$4.4 billion, which is almost double the second-placed, which happens to be a Chinese brand, Moutai. And whisky is still the king of planet earth. The whisky brands...
Yup, some clueless knucklehead is at it again. A new issue has just appeared that will definitely affect us all permanently. A politician wants to ban us from having a drink in any public place. This means you cant step out of your house perimeter with a drink in your hand anymore. This would mean...
Sometimes I wonder how much thinking some FB outlet owners do before they decide to operate a joint. Some do the how-not-to-run-an-outlet thing. Like a crappy set-up (it doesn’t need to cost high, but at least be tasteful), clueless staff, too low (or too loud) tunes, lack of customer service, etc.
Marinis on the rooftop of Tower 3 KLCC is one of THE spots in the Valley for late afternoon drinks and happy hours, with award-winning cocktails. Its really high, dwarfing the skyscrapers below, and its got 360 views too. We checked it out one Saturday after being invited, and the day...
Carlsberg Malaysia (CMB) s unorthodox managing director Soren Ravn is outta here on July 1, after leading the brewery for three party-packed years. Soren will be remembered as a sport, who mingled and drank with the crowd at the beer brands many launches and gigs (and rapped). No doubt...
.. is a chilled pad. Was there last year courtesy of Moet Hennessy, but never wrote about it. Posted about the trip here and here before tho. The Glenmorangie House is where we hung for a few days. It has its own website too. The house is elegant and traditional, quite large, with [...]
Made a raid to Sekeping Serendah, a forest resort an hour North of the city, organized by my bro. Therere now various awesome options for weekend getaways, most only an hour from KL. Been to most of em now. Luv em all! I should rate them comparatively someday. Anyway, SS is a great spot...
Did u know that a female beer brewer is known as a Brewster?? Haha I wish i knew a few brewsters. In fact, i only know two brewers here, and they aint no goddam brewsters. I do know a few guys who suffer from cenosillicaphobia. No, its not the fear of silly caps. Its fear [...]
