30/04/2013 No Comments

It has been a while since I attend such dinner. I remember the last round I went was with my ex company to attend all this awards dinner under Techonolgy. Well, this is something new to me and I would like to thank Chris for extending me the invites. Get to understand further that this is the 4th Putra Brand awards and Heineken this round is being held at the new Majestic Hotel. One good thing about this awards is that its being measured by consumers.

There are lots of people attending this event that most of them are representative of the company and alot of advertising and media people to cover the awards.

One of the beer being nominated for the beer category under peoples choice are of course Heineken.

We do have free flow for that night. 🙂

with Chris and Anna.

and here are the pretty girls that represent the beer also for the night. .

On my table, its great to sit along and get to know other people from the agency and different company . .

On the night, it was another remarkable night achievement for Heineken , as they are awarded Gold again for second year in a row under ‘Beverage Alcoholic’ category. One of the brand recognize by many people and consumer’s preferred choice too.

and of course it was an eye opener event for me as some brand won in certain category its really a surprise and really wonder how all this being tabulated. 😀

Cheers to Heineken. .

Mosaic @ Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Kuala Lumpur

21/09/2011 5 Comments

I have been to Mandarin Oriental- Mosaic couple of times with my previous company hosting many events at this place. Never did I really notice this place or even when its under renovation. Mosaic had recently just open its door to public to this newly award wining restaurant inside Mandarin Oriental Hotel at Kuala Lumpur, with its posh design by a Japanese design company.

Mosiac with its elegant interior reflecting the Pernanakan Culture with its collaborative finishing, with customise flooring, intricate hanging pewter lights.

I just love the whole interior of the place, makes it a perfect posh place for dining.

Cushion section is comfortable that can fit easily 5 person like a club area that gives you a feel like privacy in this area.

I must say, they got a great selection of food in their buffet spread ranging from Italian, local, Japanese, Indian and a few more other choices, that lead by Chef de Cuisine Chef Raymond Abour Jeily.

I always start my buffet with greens first and I am amaze with their wide selection of veggie, dressing, and types of oil for you to play and mix around on your salad. I am enjoying this section very much that makes me go 2 rounds before I hit the mains.

Japanese section is all fresh, from oyster, to sushi and smoked salmon.

On their offering of North Indian Cuisine, are well cook with the curry are not too watery which is just thick enough to go along with Tandoori chicken, lamb, prawn with naan.

Another section that I like with available meat to choose from, lamb, and beef is my preferred choice .

For their grill section, again I still prefer their lamb and beef, another thing must not miss is the cheeze sausage.

Like on their Italian range with both bologna and white sauce all cook in the way as I like.

Asian soupy section.

Comes to desert, this is one hugeeee macaroons

Local Kuih

This desert section looks one of the coolest of all on how they display the desert in this drawer concept that makes everything look so good!

By the end of the night, I was full to the max as most of the food here are nice, and I would say that the buffet spread offering here in terms of quality are much better than a few places that I have tried so far. Price wise will be:

RM88++ per person (lunch)

RM108++ per person (dinner from Sunday to Thursday)

RM128++ per person (dinner on Friday & Saturday)

If you are asking me where can get nice buffet, certainly Mosaic will be in one of my recommended list~

TGI New Menu, Texas Mex @ Hartamas Shopping Center

04/05/2010 No Comments

One of the food outlet which is no stranger to all of us, I remembered that during my college times, when we were pretty broke yet still want to enjoy nice food, we head to hunt their set lunch at RM14.90 comes with a drink at Subang Parade outlet, and we just sit there talk and watch soccer and for the first outlet that they open in Penang, my dad brought me to dine there, he give me a prank yet also a surprise on my birthday few years back, that I have to stand on the table holding chili sauce bottle to sing as song to a full house crowd~ Gowd!, that was one of a great experience that I kept with the restaurant.

It was not until recently that got invited to go to TGI Fridays to try out one of their new menu, Tex-Mex, the range of Mexican food. When comes the word Mexican, the next word that pop out from my mind is Tacos, with fine fried bacon baked with cheese. Yummm~

The bar area in the restaurant also used to be one of my favorite hang out spot after work, as I often came by for their happy hour after work when I was in Penang as it was on the way back home. I love their dim light ambiance filled with a few big LCD to watch ESPN or some news to chill and nice Bartender to talk with. It was chill and relaxing after hard day of work.

It always depends on mood to hunt for which beer but to me, it was always draft, never on bottles~ The clear and fresh taste of it. Stout is one of my favorite choice but Heineken is the most preferred choice as its cooling and refreshing.

With the branch at Hartamas Shopping Complex, the team had put in a lot of effort to decorate the place and the team had won several times as the best dress restaurant, cannot deny that now the whole restaurant had Mexican ambiance that decorated with donkey, cactus and famous Mexican hat.

Even Elvis Presly will entertain you for the night. 😀

and I just love this wall that decorated with old classic vinyl record lable on it.

The day could not be any better that we got served with ‘Gold Mango Margarita’ ripe mango pureed with tart lime juice and shaken with tequila and triple sec. The mango smell is so tempting but they were never stingy with their tequila shots, it was strong, a few sips already make me haywire abit, but it was good. RM17.90. The good news is, they also served ‘Virgin Gold Mango Margarita’ whcih is without alcohol.
