On the 3rd of November a sensational culmination took place at the Malaysia International Exhibition and Convention Centre making the trilogy ended with a big bang. The Global Art of Mixing Trilogy is the event that took place on the day that I have been always looking forward for this event and never miss it for the past 3 years. Its a event with an extraordinary mix of stellar musical acts from across the globe, a trademark H-Artistry atmosphere along with their signature drink.

At the stroke of 10pm, the crowd quickly shifted into the party arena, and energy levels were pumping in sync with the crowd’s excitement, shrill screams of the female K-Pop fans in the crowd were Block B, who immediately broke into song and dance with their infectious track “Nilili Mambo”.

HA Finale (22)

Showcased their rap, vocals and dance prowess to put on a stellar demonstration of the quality and showmanship of K-Pop music is.

HA Finale (23)

As Block B bowed out, the next artist to take the stage was Alexandra Burke, who immediately stamped her vocal authority as the prima donna of the night. Among the highlights of Alexandra Burke’s performance were live renditions of “Heartbreak on Hold”, “Elephant”, and her hit track “Bad Boys”, featuring Flo Rida. However, the crowd exploded in exhiliration when Alexandra Burke invited Block B up on stage for an exclusive H-Artistry collaboration.

Continuing on my last trip at Bangkok, the last night itself we wanted to visit some sky bar in the city itself as I have seen many bloggers went to many nice sky bar that available in Bangkok. Then told Goft about it and she mention to us that she will be bringing us to this Red Sky Bar which is located in Centara Grand Hotel in Central World.

Red Sky (3)

As you head upon the bar you need to do a lift transfer as you need to head to the lobby floor then change lift to head up to level 55 whereby the RedSky Bar is. Love the hotel lobby as it feels so luxury to walk in and all of us were greeted by the friendly staff there.

I have heard a lot about this restaurant about their food quality and the best part is food from Taiwan. I just do not know why when mention about food from there, I would like woaahhhh, its like when people mention about Penang = Food. The term for me is Taiwan = Food as this would be my very first visit to this restaurant, Din Tai Fung.

This is their newly renovated and just open its door to public just before Chinese New Year with having another outlet they have is at Mid Valley, which I had walk pass a lot of times and its always full. To my surprise, this restaurant was ranked as one of the top 10 restaurant in 1993 by The New York Times. Not only their outlet in Malaysia, as their franchise spread over to Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and the United States.

Din Tai Fung

All the chef are busy preparing the Xiau Long Bao’s in the open concept kitchen.

Din Tai Fung (2)

With all the ingredients are prepared and measure correctly to ensure their food quality is there. What I was inform that, they do have daily QC check by their master chef as to ensure that their taste is the same and fresh ingredient are used to get the satisfaction out of it.

Din Tai Fung (3)

Din Tai Fung (4)

The new outlet interior design which is another total new concept that very different from the branch at Mid Valley as that branch with more of its crowd are family and the new branch decorated with modern classic style on the front section and the back section is all about back to the past with contemporary interior. . .

Din Tai Fung (6)

Din Tai Fung (5)

Besides that, they do have VIP sections or area to cater private function and only this 2rooms had the perfect view directly to KLCC and special menu can be cater upon request or budget.

Din Tai Fung (7)

Din Tai Fung (8)

Our setting and menu for the day and being greeted by the very warm and friendly host cum onwer Meng Lim.

Din Tai Fung (9)

Din Tai Fung (10)

Start off the meal with their cold appetizer.

Din Tai Fung (11)

Din Tai Fung (12)

This arrangement of tower is the ‘Japanese Cucumber’ had been season a bit and its very crunchy covers in a very very mild taste on your tongue. RM3.80

Din Tai Fung (13)

‘Taiwan Century Egg’ as the texture of it is different, softer and the egg base is very nice in taste eat it with ginger is the perfect way to start off with. RM3.80

Din Tai Fung (14)

‘Spicy Jellyfish’ is served cold and I love the texture of it which is chewy and covered with the taste like mild thai sauce yet it’s a bit sour, definitely appetite opener. RM6.80

Din Tai Fung (15)

It’s the same like Hong Kong or China food that they do have ‘Chili Oil’ as to accompany some of the dish to pull up the flavor of it.

Din Tai Fung (19)

In Din Dai Fung, all QC and staff training is regard as priority to ensure customer satisfaction, as the focus a lot on staff culture and ethics had been professionally trained as this girl is send by the Taiwan HQ to trained on all the new staff and making sure that everything is in order, as this is to ensure that their brand name served with tip top condition and all the branch you go around the region is the same.

Din Tai Fung (16)

‘Crab Meat & Pork Xiao Long Bao’ served next as it was perfectly steam and the soup in it is hot filled with the juices from the steam that ooze from the pork in it. Very sweet in taste yet a bit salty that stuff in some ginger with vinegar, it tastes perfect. RM12.80(6 pcs)/ RM23.80 (12 pcs)

Din Tai Fung (17)

This is the way how to pick up a Xiao Long Bau with the tip of it so that you wont damage the delicate yet soft skin on the side as you can drink on the soup too.

Din Tai Fung (18)

‘Shrimp and Pork Dumpling’ is huge and stuff with compact ingredient. RM12.80(6 pcs)/ RM23.80 (12 pcs)

Din Tai Fung (20)

This soup get me all excited as it smells so good. When the cover was open up I was like haaa…?? So simple yet so aromatic, ‘House Special Chicken Soup’ had been steam in high temperature for 4 hours using Kampung Chicken with a proper arrangement of the meat in the bowl to enhance the maximum taste of it and cook with some simple Chinese herbs. It is something very simple yet the taste is top notch, and burning hot with the way just as I preferred. RM13

Din Tai Fung (21)

The chicken had been boiled till very soft and dip it with simple soy sauce. It taste good.

Din Tai Fung (22)

I am a big fan of ‘Hot and Sour Soup’ as no matter I spotted this, I would order, just a big fan of this soup. In Din Tai Fung, the soup is RM7.50 for small and RM11 for big. Its mild in taste as it suits people who do not like strong taste yet can get to enjoy hot (which is not too spicy) yet the sour is vinegar side yet the texture of it is just nice, not too starchy.

Din Tai Fung (23)

‘Cha Jiang La Mien’ is done very nice with serving for a simple dish that top with mince pork, taufu and peas as some soy and chili oil added in.

Din Tai Fung (24)

The trick to eat this noodle is to add on some vinegar instead of chili oil as it totally taste different and much better. RM12

Din Tai Fung (25)

‘Pork Chop Fried Rice’ as the fried rice is simple but fried with wok hei and the egg taste is soft and blended well with the rice, with the perfect deep fried pork chop eat with chili oil is excellent. RM14.50

Din Tai Fung (26)

‘Baby Green Beans with Mince Pork’ as if you eat it randomly like that, it would taste abit salty but a perfect companion for rice. RM16

Din Tai Fung (27)

Even though we are full, there are always room for deserts as to me, I find this desert quite special as its in the form of Xiau Long Bau, as the back basket is ‘Mini Sesame Buns’ RM5.50 and ‘Red Bean Dumpling’ RM7 (6pcs) / RM12.80 (12 pcs).

It was a great lunch and informative too from the great host Meng Lim and invites from Sidney. Of course, I will be returning to try out their other dish.
