Well, I had the opportunity to catch the launching of Hennessy VSOP's latest bottle design back a couple of weeks and it was pretty cool, complete with a party and all ( Hennessy VSOP New Bottle Launch 2012 ) This writeup, will not be re-hashing the events from that day, but geared more towards explaining why Hennessy chose Chris Bangle for the design job, and more explanation on what changed on the new Hennessy VSOP bottle.

Zest Cafe @ The Sphere Bangsar South

Image
More restaurants nowadays are going the healthy living path, and this round I had the opportunity to dine in at Zest Cafe in Bangsar South who advocates healthy yet delicious food. Located inside The Sphere, Bangsar South, Zest Cafe goes by the tagline "Food for the body, and food for the soul" . It's rather appropriate actually, as we were told that Zest Cafe practises MSG-free, low salt, low sugar, low cream, no deep-fried food, no margarine, only butter, and uses 100% olive oil.  Zest Cafe Bangsar South

We all know Klang is famous for it's numerous stalls of Bak Kut Teh, some better than others. Bak Kut Teh is so synonymous with Klang that the moment anyone mention they wanted a good bowl of Bak Kut Teh, we would usually suggest Klang.

Sharp's 100th Anniversary Share Campaign

Image
Sharp, now who hasn't heard of this brand, one of the pioneers of electrical and electronic appliances. My memories of Sharp appliances were concentrated on the Aquos range of LCD TV a couple of years back. The crisp colours and latest tech were what attracted me to Sharp. Of course, in recent years we were spoilt for choice when it came to electrical and electronic appliances. Sharp 100th Anniversary Celebrations

Foodpanda Malaysia Delivery Service

Image
Everybody loves food, that's a fact, but how often do we find ourselves hungry for a meal yet we just do not feel like leaving the house to grab a bite. The next thing that comes to my mind would most probably be either McDonald's delivery, Domino's or Pizza Hut.  These are the safe but rather mundane food options, so I was pretty excited when the new kid on the block, Foodpanda Delivery Service approached me to try out their system. The food offered came from all over, various restaurants, good wholesome food.  Foodpanda Malaysia

On The Table Solaris Dutamas

Image
On The Table is this rather classy yet cozy restaurant located in Solaris Dutamas serving fusion food ranging from western food to the local favourite nasi goreng. I was intrigued with the name of the eatery, it had a unique ring to it. The restaurant opened its doors back in 2010, with Corporate Chef Riz, son of celebrity chef, Chef Wan leading the culinary team. On The Table Solaris Dutamas

Recently Janice wanted to get a dress, where she actually browsed through this new fashion portal (The Fashion Bloomers).   The Fashion Bloomers
