Brew Culture @ Plaza Damas 3

You ain’t had good coffee, if you ain’t been to Brew Culture.. So what makes a great cup of espresso? Up till this point, I didn’t even know that there’s a big difference between ‘brewing coffee’ and ‘extracting espresso’. Then I met the good folks at Brew Culture. Brewed coffee is steeping ground beans in [...]

The Caorunn Scotland Gin Cocktail evening at Qbar

The Caorunn Scotland Gin Cocktail evening at Qbar..   It’s pronounced “ka-roon“. And it was the first time I had ever laid eyes on its almost clinical looking glass bottle. Ah, Gin… let me see. Not my favourite spirit, but I was willing to give it a go. Caorunn Gin is uniquely served with a [...]

Prost! It’s GAB Oktoberfest Launch @The Social, Publika

It happens to be October month, and it’s obviously the time for lots of beer drinking and snacking, for those familiar with Oktoberfest (who isn’t though, right?). This beer festival of large mugged beer, food, music, toasting, singing, dancing, games and buxom barmaids which originated from Munich, Germany, has now become a staple celebration across [...]

GAB puts a Spin on Food and Beer Pairing at Oktoberfest

GAB puts a spin on food and Beer Pairing, at Oktoberfest, at Tai Zi Heen, Prince Hotel Kuala Lumpur.. Malaysians have been drinking beer with everything, since the dawn of time. But few might have drunk beer as part of Chinese fine dining, or at a deliberate beer food pairing event. The mix of food [...]

Arthur’s Day @ Bulldog, Desa Sri Hartamas

It was at the recent Arthur’s Day celebrations at Bulldog, Desa Sri Hartamas, that I first learned who Arthur really was. And so the story goes.. it is year 1759. Imagine a man sitting in church in Ireland with his family. He lives around the time of Ireland’s founding fathers and is a rising entrepreneur [...]

Wall Street Bar, Solaris Dutamas KL

Happy Hour prices All Day Long, 7 Days a Week – says THE SIGN at Wall Street Bar, Solaris Dutamas KL. We are obviously drinkers. Not just social, one glass of wine drinkers, but the beer chugging happy hour drinking sort. Wall Street Bar is a place we like as it has an all night [...]

Drinkers Trivia!

Drinkers Trivia!   What is the one alcoholic beverage, that contains a minimum of TWO person’s names in it, and can even go on to encompass FOUR names? photo credit – jan-peter   GIVE UP?       It’s called, the John Daly! (And I had this in the States, on my last work trip) [...]

TWG Tea @Sheraton Imperial KL

Just the other week, I was telling Cumi that it had been ages since we last went for high-tea. Right on cue, the blackberry beeped and it was Evelyn from the Sheraton Imperial, inviting us to tea.. which was awesome. The girl can read minds. The added bonus was that it would be high tea [...]

3 Ways to Cool Down, in Pudu!

Pudu is one of my favourite wastes of time. Some people find it dodgy and a little too working class but I love it. Where else can you find cheap food, cheap and good massages, cheap Ahpro bibs and bobs for your car, cheap dodgy gold watches, cheap camera accessories etc etc, all within walking [...]

CHA-time!

I have found something new to obsess about. The bubble tea trend is back in town and it’s taking the “youth of today” by storm. Pronounced CHA-time, these trendy bubble tea outlets have been springing up all over town, since July last year. Most English speaking Malaysians say CHAT-time but whatever the pronunciation, it is [...]
