Glenmorangie Orange Retro Funk Party @ The Pool

02/04/2012 No Comments

Last weekend I attended a party and would be my first of its kind. Why? Glenmorangie had arrange a night to chill and party with following Orange Retro Funk Party as the theme. It is held one of a location that I previously remember is Spasso Milano as my friend did her engagement party there, and now they have moved to Pavillion.

With the new place turn into a new luxury lifestyle gastrobar, The Pool that makes its a new party place at Jalan Ampang

Its cool to see the girl to be design on the cool outlook for the theme for the night.

The whole place had turn into cool orangy place. .

Love how they do the DJ staging there and its just so cool . .

And they have a upper deck whereby you can enjoy yourself with the view of KLCC or the Pool itself.

If you are in their indoor section check out their cook effect on their ceiling ..

Glenmorangie The Original is a Ten Years Old whisky mainly matured in ex-Bourbon casks that’s made from slow growth, air dried American Oak from the Ozark Mountains of Missouri. The selection of casks were important to bring the lemony gold colour as well as the aroma of mandarin, lemon, apple, pear and peach fruits with hints of Vanilla.

Glenmorangie, this beautifully seductive spirit originates in the heart of the Scottish Highlands where, at the Glenmorangie distillery, it first captures by elegant, swan necked stills that are the tallest in Scotland and then expertly matured in the finest oak casks.

As for the night, we had something special that soak with mandarin taste, as I have learn a new way to enjoy this single malt that, they have actually prepare some mandarin orange skin then in the bowl then soak it for 20 minutes along the single malt with orange . ..

Then after that it is ready to be pour out. It seems that they have turn the taste into more strong and a bit orange taste at the end of the sip.

We can do that at home and enjoy while sipping it away . .

Tadaa… and its ready to be served and always prefer it on the rock only with 3 cubes of ice so that it does not dilute the taste of it.

Guess who is the Emcee for the night is this good looking Will Quah ..

With the usual, Louixe, Angeline and Yukiko

and the rest of the gang.

Its great to have every one there to chill and holding our every neat glass of Glenmorangie Single Malt chilling and chatting all night long, with music playing and best of all is this free flow that we are enjoying.

Besides that, for all Glenmorangie Single Malt Fans as there would be a good news that Malaysians will be the first in South East Asia to have the opportunity to enjoy an ‘Unnecessarily Well Made’ experience of Glenmorangie whisky at the Soundform Fluid Bar. comes complete with the state-of-art Elipson Planet L speakers and music centre designed by Philip Michael Wolfson.

So mark your calender and place which it will be taking place at the concourse area outside Robinsons in The Gardens, Mid Valley City in April 2012.

Bangkok Trip Day 3 Part 4: Pattaya Night Life

19/12/2011 No Comments

Right after floating market, and before hitting to Pattaya Night Life, Nancy is the one that actually came to Bangkok many times and she highly recommend us to visit this restaurant which is made of condom. . YES!! you heard it right..Condom, as actually its some of the mannequin that filled with full condom decoration like clothes and others. Bangkok Trip.

In the first plan, we are suppose to head to Condom & Cabbage, Bangkok as we have very tight schedule so we slide it and decided for Condom & Cabbage Pattaya instead as the have totally different environment compare to the one in Bangkok.

Let me tell you why Nancy highly recommend this restaurant is because of a reason. This restaurant promotes health and safety use of condom in sex life by fun and amusing manner and not only that as ALL the proceeds from the restaurants are used to fund the social development programs of PDA. So, that is why so Nancy insist us to come.

One thing which is very different compare to Bangkok that to head to the restaurant, you have to walk thru this mini garden trail for 2 minutes that is dimly lit up and its fun to have something different where by usually the restaurant you go, is right at your door step!

You will go thru a few sections of the garden till you reach this huge and spacious Tropical Jungle area as actual fact, this restaurant is sharing a garden with this beautiful resort.

So as you reach, you will be greeted by this 3 person wearing condom all over their body.

Then as the waitress guide us to the main dining area, we are suprise on how big this area is, as this section is on the upper deck of the hill side where by you can choose to be on top of the hill that over look the sea or head down there next to the sea . . .

Of course we choose head down there to be next to the sea . . and it seems pretty occupied. Its really a huge restaurant on a jungle style.

As we hike down, there are a few more tiers like another 2-3 more sections besides the upper deck.

All of us tired + hungry + sticky and grateful to be seated down at the moment at this beautiful area. One thing we find that, if you come here around sunset, I am very sure that its going to be a very beautiful place. If you do have a chance to stop by here, please do so during sun set and tell me how it feels. . 😀

You will be very surprise on the variety of the menu they are offering and not only that, its the pricing the most important and we thought that we might got ripe off in such a pleasant dining ambiance but we are wrong!!!

This fried prawn fritters are perfect, crispy on inside out and the prawns are very fresh. Dip it with the thai chili sauce to make it more perfect.

Mix Veggie that are in plain fried yet it goes along very well with white rice. Simple and aromatic!

Green Curry Prawn, as the prawn is fresh with solid in meat and a bit coconut milky that is not too spicy, mild and the taste is totally very different from the one available in Malaysia as theirs is a bit sweet too, Mix with rice make it flood, perfect!

In Thailand of course you must not miss Tomyam but in this restaurant we tried out 2 different version of tomyam, one which is similiar like Malaysia Style Spicy tomyam (Tomyam Talay) @ @ 200 bhat. Its cook to perfection that its spicy, abit sour and sweet in taste because of the seafood that cook along.

To compare of course this Tomyam Prawn @ 200 bhat, stoods out to be better as the clear version of tomyam which lean towards more on sour spicy that the after taste kicks in after you drink it which is a bit more challenging and very nice in taste!

I always love Phad Thai Gung Sod @ 90 bhat, therefore come here also will not miss, fried with wok hei, noodles are quite sticky and squeeze along with lime and mix everything together, is how the way they eat it. Taste Fairly good but it leans towards a bit more on the sweet side.

Basil Chicken is another great dish that cook till the flavor absorb to the meat, which is not too dry, with the sauce that they use that pairs very well with the flavor. I don like Basil but this taste pretty good.

Pandan chicken is nothing special just that the sauce is very good, sweet in the first taste spicy at the end!

This is another challenging dish, looks simple but use the pork and dip along with that bowl of sauce, super spicy as you do not feel it at first as after a few more pieces of the meat with the sauce, your whole tongue gets numb, as the challenge is we just cant stop eating, as it taste sooooo good!

Stir Fried Chicken with nut and dry chili, something also not to be miss.

One thing, as we are super full from so many dishes and the total bills comes to about 2236 bhat which surprise us alot! Its a cheap bill we would say. Food here is good, and well price, so do not miss if you do come to Pattaya!

As we walking out, we love the sign that place around the garden’s . . Just suitable to be use locally .. 😀

After satisfying lunch, so we went to check in our hotel which is very late and long day hectic travel day we have and they all were cursing me why plan till so hectic as I said, its a short trip so have to fully utilise it. Kekekeke .. .

Next of course we head to the most happening street in town, which is Walking Street Pattaya. Walking street is the most famous street in (soi) Pattaya that host many good bar, clubs, strip club and many more. Some people rate this street as one of the most exciting street to look for fun that with 1000 meter long of fun street as besides bar there are also places like Gogo Bars and of course hostesses. You will surely find your fun here.

I would rate this is one of the best place for night life in Thailand, as I have visited nightlife in Phuket, Hatyai and Bangkok and I rate this the best. You should probably spend about 3 days 2 nights here itself!

A Go GO bar.. means what? you should drop by here to find out yourself~

More types of bars

Open concept type of pole dancer bar . .

Alcatraz A Go Go

Well, according to my friend and Driver Moulin Rouge is one of the hottest one in the street whereby you should drop by to visit especially mens. . .

As we walk along the streets and we finally decided to hit the bar that looks the coolest and decent of all . ..

Walking Street bar that seriously have a big vintage car smack right at the side of the wall. . .

See how strong these women can do? Well, a piece of advice from my friend that, if you hit to any bars in Pattaya especially girls, do not take drinks or beer from strangers as chances of the drink got spike is 90%. Well, if you want to have a fun memory adventure in Pattaya, you can try that . .:p

By Looking in the web that our hotel have a very nice scenery during sun rise as I miss out the sunrise I just went up to take a quick glimpse of it. . The view up here is just superb! A very relaxing feeling that overlook the whole place of Pattaya. After a quick check out we head back to Bangkok for our continuation of city adventure.

Then we stop by at the highway rest stop and its freaking huge compare to those ones in Malaysia. They have many restaurant, also shops that sell local delights.

Next to check out in our list is Chatuchak Market, Bangkok!

Mong Kok Street Food

14/05/2009 No Comments

Was walking around for the night quite long, so it was me who made the call saying that kia liau…go food hunting. As I remembered last time when I came to this area, there is 1 takoyaki very very nice and the queue is very long.

First stoop of the night, Nelson Street.

As I spotted this stall, directly drag the whole group to this stall as I smelled Smelly Toufu. When I reached this stall I was so excited like a 3 year old kid saw a ice cream guy, and get to see so many things to eat. When I spotted this stall that time I cant really see what were they selling as this stall that time it was full with food patrons. The street with that number is only this shop is here where you can see the shop is flooded with ppl.

Our very first stop of this shop………………

Of course the no.1 thing that MUST not MISSSSSS….. The ‘Curry Fish Ball’ The upper deck is non spicy and the 1 below is Spicy. After taking this picture I got scolded by the store owner saying that not allow to take pictures. Then I was like wtf!!!

This is a small bowl of curry fish ball which cost HKD 8.

Of course cannot compare to the 1 I ate at Sri Petaling Pasar Malam Curry Fish Ball. The fragrance of the currry is there and the softness of the fish ball its like you use a knife to slice it when I am biting it. I ordered the spicy as it was really spicy. One ball enough to stir you high. Definitely good stuff.

Wahhhhh….this is one of the best thing to get in this stall also, by looking at it and remembering the taste just makes me drool again. It is ‘Fried Pig Intestine‘. The skin is crispy with gold brown colour and the filling is chewy and of course got a lil stink smell and taste just makes it perfect. For those who eat pig spare parts, of course this is verrryy Highly Recommended by me. One stick is around HKD9

Next is my bestie bought ‘Siew Mai’. The great thing is not about the sauce of it. The sweet sauce mix with it that stir up the taste. Comparing with the siew mai in malaysia, still think it taste better from the street food. It is small in size, with the stim taste and soft. Just alright.

This must not be miss also, one of the Hong Kong street food signature. Of course one of in my hotlist food hunt which is the ‘Smelly Toufu‘. To the dissapointment, the smell of the smelly toufu is not as strong as last time which you can smell it 2 blocks away. This I get to know they serve the toufu when I walked nearby the stall.

The toufu is not as smelly as I ate last time, but of course it is much better compare to Sri Petalling because of the smell and of course the SAUCE!!! The sauce you have to mix it with, sweet sauce, their very own chili sauce and chili flakes with some ginger. Wow, even though the toufu is not really smelly compare to last time but with the mixture of the sauce, can just put the whole thing in my mouth and enjoying it.

After finishing it, when I try to talk to Yeong my bestie, she said she cant really smell the smelliness of the smell when I was talking. The amazing thing was last time me and my bro ate on the street and went back up on the bus, the old lady ask me and my bro did we eat smelly toufu, and we asked her how she know, then she said that we stinks.. 😀

2 pieces of toufu around HKD 9.

Most of the things in this stall is very nice. Should Try!

-= KA CHING =-
Food rating 9/10 ,Si Pek Hoh Chiak ah!!!~

Walk and walk and walk then came till this street. From what I eat just now, I am still hungry and my friend ask me am I alright. I said of course, part of my mission here is food hunting. Eat lah~ The stall is located behind this street board.

This is the next shop I came across as I was very thirsty and saw this shop got sell bubble cup tea. Of course it has always been my favorite and by looking so many ppl at this stall and give it a try. I drink the ‘Bubble Cup Tea’ till I forgot to take the pic. The drink definitely is a highly recommended which most of the patrons are aiming for it.

As I bought the drink first and let the rest try ended up every 1 having 1 cup. The pearl is so chewy, the drink in it is just the right taste. Not too sweet not too diluted. The drink was around HKD 12

The food that they sell is similar to the first stall that we eat. Again I was trying to take the pic, got scolded by this stall owner. Then I was like why in their shop they directly put a sign no pictures please!

This is one of the ‘Mix Ball’ that I found it quite funny and just bought one. Start from the top ‘Beef Ball’, ‘Pork Ball’, ‘Fish Ball’ and ‘Squid Ball’ which cost around HKD 10 for this stick.

Honestly, I find the taste is abit weird as they put some satay sauce and don know what sauce and the taste of the ball ball thing doesn’t impress but still finish the whole stick.

-= KA CHING =-
Food rating 5/10 ,Ok Ok loo~

Then went back to grab another cup of Bubble cup tea as I only manage to have 2-3 sips and my friend gave me empty glass back.

This round I went there realize that they sell ‘Siew Mai’ and decided to grab one again to compare what is the difference with another stall.

After eating eat, my only comment must try! Again the sauce is impressive and very nice. It was mix with sweet sauce, peanut sauce, some chili oil and chili sauce. After you mix with the siew mai and the taste had combine out it had become very addictive. As my friend saw I ate till like that, they grab another cup and just eat till they drop. Around HKD 8

-= KA CHING =-

Food rating 9/10 ,Veli Hoh Chiak ah!!!~

This shop is just a few doors away, it sells takoyaki. At last found one which I think is good.

The store outlook is alright and not many people but my friend she was very tired so borrow their tables and we have to buy their food.

They have large stove to be done compare to places like our pasar malam or indoor supermarket which only owned 1/3 of it.

This is what I mean borrow their tables by purchasing the food from next door and eats there because that stall does not have tables. So we were parking there for that moment.

I order the ‘Original Takoyaki‘ cuz I don understand what the girl is mumbling about and I don know how to read chinese so just point lah…and this is wat I get. Which cost me around HKD 25.

By the look itself I was not impress and the first bite that I eat, does not really taste good. Then asked my friend what bout theirs, they shake their head. The filling is does not taste good even we feel that our pasar malam here is much better.

-= KA CHING =-

Food rating 4/10 ,So So Only~
