Mooncakes from Hilton Kuala Lumpur
Seeing that the Mid Autumn Festival is just a couple of days away (it's on 30 September this year), I thought I'd just share this one last post on Mooncakes. To be frank, I'm not crazy over mooncakes. But even as a non-fan, or not-so-much-of-a fan, I must say the snowskin offerings from the Hilton Kuala Lumpur are really good. I've tasted four of them and they are easily among the best I have tasted this year. The Blue Moon has Amaretto lotus paste with blueberry cheese Feuillantine - … [Read more...]
The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa – The Heavenly Spa & Spa by Night
On days like this when my muscles ache and stretched to the limit and every bone seems stiff as pole, my thoughts automatically go back the Heavenly Spa at The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa with great longing. It is the only Heavenly Spa in Malaysia by Westin. The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa has won many many awards and accolades for various service categories – the last I counted, there were almost 30 (maybe more by now!). Out of these, the Heavenly Spa by Westin alone has won … [Read more...]
Amadeus Bistro & Wine Bar @ Life Centre Kuala Lumpur
It’s pretty easy to locate Amadeus Bistro & Wine Bar in the newly refurbished Life Centre along Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. In fact, it was so easy that I arrived much earlier than the rest of my dining companions that evening and I had ample time to check out the place. At Amadeus Bistro & Wine Bar, the low-ceilinged room acts as a cosy, quiet refuge for patrons eager to have lunch, dinner, coffee, or just to chill out and have a chat with friends. This casually chic European … [Read more...]
Celebrate Arthur’s Day at SOULed OUT
It all started in 1759 when Arthur’s Day is celebrated around the world to honour the date Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease on the St James Gate Brewery, and whose legacy has brought us the globally celebrated iconic black brew, GUINNESS®. Raising a toast to Arthur is a central part of the annual festivities and is fast becoming a tradition among GUINNESS® fans around the world. September is the month where people all over the world raise their glasses to salute the one man who … [Read more...]
Whatchuwant? How about getting your vehicle pimped & appearing on “Pimp My Ride”?
I have always loved that MTV show “Pimp My Ride” where they select beaten-up old cars and then not only restoring them but also customising them into some fancy “state-of-the-art” works. It’s always amazing to see how an ordinary-looking (and in most cases, in bad shape) vehicle can be modified and transformed into an awesome super ride after being “pimped”. How cool is that if you can get your car all pimped up, to whatever whim your personality demands and parade it to the envy of … [Read more...]
Tai Thong Mooncakes
Fancy Fuji apples in a mooncake? Frankly, this is a first for me. But then when it comes to Tai Thong mooncakes, “innovation” and “creativity” seem to be their forte. This year, they take on a Japanese flair in their repertoire of mooncakes. Using some of Japan’s unique ingredients such as matcha (powdered green tea), Fuji apples, Tokachi red beans and even wasabi, you can be sure there are some pretty funky combination of flavours in Tai Thong mooncakes this Mid Autumn … [Read more...]
The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa – Breeze
We shall always remember the Breeze Lounge for 2 things: the stunning view from its al fresco terrace and the awesome steaks! Aptly named… indeed you will feel the gentle sea breeze caressing your skin when you seat yourself in the bright airy lounge and dining area beyond. It spots a modern contemporary casual atmosphere with plush comfy fabric couches where you can just sink in and chill-out with a glass of their signature martinis or just that wonderfully refreshing Apple Cinnamon … [Read more...]
Chef Jacky Lim’s Crab Delights at Tai Thong
If you are an avid fan of tv culinary shows, you may have caught an episode or two of the “Crazy for Crabs” series on Astro Wah Lai Toi (Channel 311) every Satuday at 9.30pm. I caught an episode of this “crabby” show recently when the Tai Thong Restaurants showcased their “Crazy for Crabs” promotion at their Imperial China Restaurant in Subang Jaya. And, of course, if you have watched that show, you would know that the very cool-looking ponytailed dashing chef zipping around various Asian … [Read more...]
Are you participating in the Celcom Cupcake Challenge?
We certainly had a busy weekend… busy but exciting, thanks to the Celcom Baking Workshop held at The Cooking House on Saturday. Cooking classes and challenges I have attended a few but this Celcom event must surely be one of the largest I’ve been! The hands-on fun-filled session saw around 50 participants from popular Malaysian blogs and media publications getting real busy learning the basics of baking and cake decorating with a patriotic twist – and also the opportunity to submit their … [Read more...]
