The excitement is there, as it was all on when I first start to write for Golden Disk Awards 2 weeks back. Gotten to know that its such a prestigious event that held in Korea and now its arriving to Malaysia. It had been label on par with Grammy Awards that all the Korean artist are eyeing for. This would be their 27th installment of South Korea’s famous ‘Grammy Awards’ is hosted by JTBC and Ilgan Sports, organized by Joongang Culture Media and Mediartncomm Co., Ltd., making its way for its first time to host in Malaysia, supported by the Malaysia Convention and Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB) together with the Ministry of Tourism and presented by Samsung Malaysia Electronics as title sponsor. The awards fall into the two classifications of ‘Album’ and ‘Song’ awards with the addition of Popularity Voting for fans to support their favourite artistes such as the MSN Popularity Vote, Malaysia’s Most Favourite and GALAXY Star Award.

Finally the day of anticipation had come, excited to attend such a grand event as the first day of Samsung GALAXY The 27th Golden Disk Awards in Kuala Lumpur (GDA) kicked off.

Not only that, all K-Pop fans arrive as early as 1pm right way before sitting under hot sun getting excited and waiting for the door to open. Right after the door open, all the fans running all their way to red carpet session.

I was lucky to have media tag and standing with all other official media newspaper, magazine and many more were all right in front of the stage. We were separated into 2 options whereby we can be here right for the first person to see the artist or can be up in the media room whereby the appearance and interview will be conducted there.

all fans are excited to meet their idol . .

When the first group of artist BTOB arrive, all fans went ecstatic shouting and cheering for their idol.

EXO, B1A4, BTOB & Junie

4 minute, & Shinee, KARA & BEAST

CNBlue & FT island

Heavy weight artist that make the whole crowd go wild is Super Junior.

After red carpet, all of us hurried to the main arena as fans definitely getting their prime spots (would be the best view) to standby and catch their favourite artist in action.

Humans start pouring in like crazy at Galaxy Zone and Rock Pit and when background music being played at that time, some fans even sing along.

As the time has come to kick off the grand event, the 2 emcee came out in style with individual performance of Yonghwa and Nicole.

Juniel is a young talented girl at the age of only 19 winning several awards, performing and strumming her guitar. She performed Illa Illa, Bad Man and My Love. Here music genre are slightly different from the rest of the artist.

4 minute performance is pretty good thoo, dancing with their long dress and voice is sweet tho.

A girl group that is no stranger to me and also looking forward for the night is KARA. Both of their songs Pandora”, “Mr.” I have heard before in radio station, just didnt know it was by them. 😀 A great performance by them.

BTOB performing 3 of their songs “Secret”, “WOW”, & “Candle”

Guess what? when they are standing in the dark, crowd already went crazy as the know its one of their favorite group. Super Junior is out on stage and performing.

Dancing crazily with all their dance move with 2 of their track “Bonamana”, “Oppa Oppa”

I seriously respect the energy level of them as they continue hyping the whole arena.

To those of you who are keen to know which artist are happily flying back off with awards (click here)

There were 15,000 screaming fans for the night to cheer their favourite artist and it end with a big bang. As the night ended, I enjoy myself alot with such grand event and the set back was media section was not located in the middle whereby I always thought media will have a good view. Hidden at a small compact area wasnt in my mind, and unable to acess all zone is also disappointing. Looking at the bright side, enjoying such a event was turn to my priority.

Great line up and congrats to all the artist that won away with the awards. You guys deserve it. For Day 2, stay tuned~

Hennessy X.O Appreciation Grows Penang 2012 with Chef Michael Han

26/08/2012 No Comments

I again felt honor that I was selected to attend one of the most prestigious event by Hennessy that will took place in Penang for year 2012. I was already speechless when I received invites for the last Hennessy X.O appreciation Grows that took place at Hotel Equatorial last May 2012 . Indeed it was one of the best dinner experience I have attended so far, by getting a chance to dine Hennessy X.O pairing with Chef Edward Lee master piece which is a winner from Iron Chef. On that event itself, I was amazed on the whole event flow, on food presentation, live chef video preparing the meals and of course how to enjoy Hennessy X.O with food.

I am looking forward for month of September that I get to kill two birds with one stone by attending, upcoming Hennessy Artistry then followed by Hennessy X.O appreciation Grows happening in Penang and I am proud that they are going to my hometown for this event.

Lets take a ride back on happenings last year.

Hennessy X.O Penang dinner which was held in May 2011 at Suffolk House Penang that converting the whole place into a dimention for fine dine. It is one of a exclusive event that guest are attending in Black Tie dress code.

With appreciation comes true knowledge; quality cues are discovered and connoisseurs created. This is true of luxury products, including cognac and Hennessy X.O. On Last year’s gastronomic event, the meals are well presented and Chef Cheong Liew was the master creation behind the scene .

Till date, how I remember Hennessy X.O this word was my grandfather’s favorite drink that he used to place his favourite collection on his alcohol shelf and loves to keep it for a few years before drink it. During special occasions he will always bring along a bottle to celebrate.

Well, I guess this whole brand starting point for true originality is as far as 1870, when Maurice Hennessy created Hennessy X.O, the first in the category of X.O cognacs. Elegant and complex, Hennessy X.O is the result of the blending of one hundred eaux-de-vie with an eXtra Old character, laying the foundation for a rich heritage from which Hennessy X.O continually innovates to be at the forefront of modernity.

Guess who will be the master chef line up for Penang Gastronomy for Hennessy X.O Appreciation Grows Penang 2012. Will be this new kid on the block that have tough love qualities along with the commitment, passion, and above all, dedication to excellence that had made him being nominated for the World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence ‘Rising Chef of the Year’ in 2010 and 2011, with FiftyThree, his restaurant that opens its door at year 2009 and nominated as ‘Best Restaurant’ in 2011. Notably, FiftyThree was featured as one of World’s 50 Best Restaurants ‘Regional Spotlight –Singapore’, and on CNNgo.com’s Best Eats 2010 asSingapore’s Best Gourmet Restaurant of 2010 – Singaporean Chef Micheal Han

Not only that, Michael is no stranger to Penang culture and cuisine, having grown up with a nanny fromPenangand “a steady diet of Penang Laksa”, these influences can be found in his cooking today. Michael’s upcoming menu at Hennessy X.O Appreciation Grows 2012 in Penang is highly anticipated as he will be utilizing local Penang favorites, we will be following him for a Pre-Event Food Trail by deconstructing them in a modern way while maintaining the essence of what is already familiar. Here is what we gonna enjoy in Penang this weekend similar to what Chef Edward Lee and Will Quah had done to Petaling Street as video below:

I am looking forward for this food trail along with this young Chef Micheal Han by learning along with his experience. He kick off his career in a fine dining restaurant Au Jardin before moving on to stints at The Fat Duck, L’Enclume and Anthony’s in England, Mugaritz in San Sebastian, Spain and Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark.

After this food trail, he will then present his master creation from September 26^th to 28^th 2012. The event will be held in Penang within the chapel of St. Joseph’s Novitiate Flanked by Gurney Drive and Kelawai Road, the historic building was built in 1925 as quarters for novices for St. Joseph’s Training College. To many Penangnites, Gurney Paragon is no stranger to us for its new location of dining that keep that building restored and updated in with its contemporary surroundings, it is a physical embodiment of the values that encompass Hennessy X.O.
