The premium and ultimate event of Hennessy Artistry ‘The Global Art of Mixing’ is back to town in this coming July which is also next week. This is one of the top and coolest party in town and had brought over 2,500 clubbers back in the April H-Artistry event. Now, it returns once again to Penang at the glamorous Sixty9ine Mansion, Batu Ferrringhi on July 6 and Kuala Lumpur at the awesome Mist Club, Bangsar on July 9.

I went to the previous Hennessy Artistry event before and it was real awesome as there’s free flow of Hennessy and you can mix up your own VSOP with different types of mixer. The Hennessy Apple and Hennessy Citrus are my favourites.

There will be great music too, which this time featuring Trimix, Reshmonu, and Beautiful Beat Girls. It will be a awesome night with nice music, awesome VSOP, nice people and not forget to mention, Hennessy Mixing Bar, Hennessy Music Mix Synth, Hennessy iMix Challenge and the Hennessy Interactive Photowall for your in-house entertainment.

Well, see you there! This time I will be in Penang for it. =D

Pan Seared Salmon Dijon Cream Sauce at Spring Chamber Restaurant @ the Sun

Do you know about the Sun Yat-Sen Centre on Macalister Road? It’s a museum, but then there’s also a nice fine dining restaurant in it. Now you know, the restaurant is called the Spring Chamber Restaurant serving western food in a romantic, cosy and a little bit of heritage-feel restaurant.

My cousin brother had gotten a straight A result in his recent exam and his family treated me a dinner as a celebration at Spring Chamber. The set dinner is pretty straight forward with a flat rate RM42.00 nett with a few choice of main courses. I picked the Pan Seared Salmon Dijon Cream Sauce.

The appetizer was a tempura seafood fruit cocktail accompanied with mesclun lettuce. It’s pretty nice.

Then next up was soup of the day which was a pumpkin soup. I felt this was just OK-OK only. It’s not creamy enough.

Here’s my main course. Looking good from the food presentation, the side lyonnaise potato was salty and nice, sauce was good but then there’s too much fish bones in the salmon. It makes eating the fish difficult and not enjoyable. And one more thing that the salmon was like a bit hard. Well, I think it’s just an OK-dish again, not so favor about it.

Lastly, I got a Cherry Cheese Cake which I’ll say the best part of the dinner after appetizer. Haha.

If you looking for a nice environment and romantic place to eat out with you closer one or friends, this is a good place.

Mews Cafe At Muntri Mews Flashpacker Hotel, Muntri Street

The number of flashpacker and boutique heritage hotel is growing in heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, George Town. These flashpacker hotels don’t really offers accommodation to tourist only but they also have little cafe/restaurants which feature a heritage dining experience and some nice local food. It’s getting a trend of Penangite going to these place to dine.

Recently, I have been seeing people checking into this cafe of a boutique flashpacker hotel, Muntri Mews through social media like Facebook, FourSquare and Twitter. With much curiosity of these checking-in, I went to check out the cafe – Mews Cafe of Muntri Mews Hotel with my mom for lunch.

Parking was not really easy as the road is narrow, but I believe it would not be a problem if you don’t mine to walk further up a bit.

Upon entering the cafe, you will see a corner that serves as the reception for the hotel, and the cafe is pretty small, yet can pack 30 customers. The minimalist interiors and the usage of heritage furniture showcase the boutique hotel well.

Food menu wise is Asian and Western food starting from RM16. As Today’s Special for yesterday was the Ipoh’s Hor Fun (RM16). My last Ipoh Hor Fun was in Ipoh, it’s chicken slices hor fun with beansprout and shrimp, the soup tasted chicken. However, this Ipoh Hor Fun tasted like Hokkien Prawn Mee, just that’s the taste it’s not strong. The taste of prawn can bee tasted, with ingredient like fu chok, chicken, bean sprout, and shrimps. The hor fun can be be distinguished with local koay teow, it’s more thick and not so sticky like koay teow. Overall, it’s OK-good, but with that price range, I might not want to eat it again. Haha. A bowl of koay teow th’ng or the real Ipoh’s hor fun, cost as little as RM4, it’s like 4 times the price.

The Nasi Lemak Bento (RM16) is one more the most discussed topic on the social network and I have been hearing many good review about it. I ordered this for my lunch meal to check out whether it’s up what I expected. The presentation looks really awesome as it blended the Malaysian and Japanese culture. Nasi Lemak usually is placed on banana leaf and being in the Japanese bento box is my first time see it. It separated the rice, omelette, curry chicken, sambal sauce and shrimp, ikan bilis, nuts and cucumber well.

Usually nasi lemak uses hard boiled egg but with this, it uses omelet instead. Well, how about the taste? The shrimp and the sambal gravy were in fact good, but than the portion of serving was too little. As for the rice, it’s not lemak enough, so do the curry chicken. Unable to conclude that it’s not good, it’s still good as I like the sambal gravy quite a lot.

RM16 per meal for Nasi Lemak, is again, not that good, as you can actually buy 16 packs of RM1 mini Nasi Lemak packs. But with the dining experience in a boutique hotel, and enjoy the atmosphere being in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s good.

Cadbury Pop It Or Drop It Ground Event At Pavilion

[ADV] Hello people. Last week, I went to Pavilion at Bukit Bintang to check out the Cadbury Choclairs Pop It Or Drop It Ground Event! Yes, you are right, it’s the ground event, not the Internet Facebook game that I introduced few weeks back.

It’s the real thing where people play the real game instead of playing on the keyboard. Damn cool you know. The event started at about 12pm and ended at around 4.30pm. I was around there to join the fun, see what were the contestants doing and having fun. The whole event was pretty interesting.

It was not really a sunny day, drizzled a little bit in the afternoon but luckily the drizzle did not stop the game from going on. However, the cloudy day made it a nice day to spend some times outdoor. I see people were having fun at the Cadbury Choclairs Pop It Or Drop It game. They were just playing hard to win the grand prize which is a ticket for 4 to Gold Coast, Australia!

The game goes like this actually which two participants have to race to the end, the fastest duo wins away the prizes. There’s different part of the game. The first part is the Bungee Dash is like tug of war. The player has to ran against the pulling to get hold of the big Cadbury Choclairs.

Then he need to bounce up the to the top at the next station, then slide down. It’s bounce, or jump, not climb. =D Then he has to slide down and find 10 mini balls.

After that, he will need to pop the balloons with only using the ass which sounds funny and fun.

After successfully popping the balloon, he will then need to climb up a spiderweb where chocolate milk is pouring from top as a chocolate rain. He will bath in chocolate, and he then reaches the final check point and TIME! Sounds interesting right? I actually like the chocolate rain part where people really can taste the chocolate with just an open of the mouth! I wanted to play so badly, just however that I did not bring any extra clothing to change. Aduh.

Besides the big game, there’s also small games like popping Choclairs on a big screen and treasure hunt on Choclairs which leaded to a handphone prize! It’s like a mini games and prizes carnival set up by Cadbury. Very fun.

Besides that, I was not so lucky to win the lucky draw which the prizes were handphone and cash!

And lastly, there’s the prize giving ceremony and want to congrats the winner for winning the ticket to Australia! OMG. I want it so badly. Haha.

ONE MORE THING, remember to check out Choclairs Malaysia’s Facebook Page for more and more about the event and some upcoming cool stuff by them. It’s really very awesome, go LIKE the page, enjoy and HAVE FUN! Choco BOOM!

Hazy Penang And Gurney Drive

Hazy weather had intruded Penang again which ugly-fied the view of the beautiful Penang. The hazy weather have been around for a few days already. Everyday I wake up, I tried to look out the balcony to look for a clear blue sky but the haze disappointed me.

It’s not clear out there. It’s blurish. It’s not fog, it’s haze, it’s warm and it’s smelly. Industrial waste and forest burning are causing this and we can’t really do anything about it. I believe Beijing is in fact more worse than us. Haha.

Luckily, the heavy downpour which happened in the afternoon cleared the sky for some time. So, yay!

Hopefully, it’s big blue sky again so I can go out and take more photos! =D This post is so random. Haha.

Straits Quay, Penang #2

My hands have been feeling itchy lately as they keep wanting to press the camera shutter button of my new camera. =D To ease my itchiness, I went to Straits Quay in the afternoon to press a feel shutters on my camera. I haven’t really been there during the afternoon and when the sun is hanging high above my head.

It was a quiet Monday afternoon and Straits Quay was, quiet. Feeling bad for the restaurant and cafe owner as there’s so little people visiting their shops at that time. If it’s at Singapore or Hong Kong, there will be people almost at anytime. Guess Penangites are too lazy to come out to spend time at the cafe or perhaps selfish to buy themselves expensive beverage.

I went there with my girlfriend, Hueisean. It was windy and the warm sea breeze blows on my face which it’s not really a good time to spend outdoor.

Took some shots of her of course as she had become my spontaneous model. It’s not all about building, landscape and random people anymore. After changing a new camera, my feel in photography is getting stronger again, it’s like boost up which makes me want to takes more photos! =D

Straits Quay is a good hang out place and the concept is great, somehow it’s not really accessible to public as there’s no public transport going there. And the pubs only opens till 1am because there’s residence on top of it, so no live band and late closing, which is not that good.

Anyway, it’s a good place for some better dining experience and a new spot to hang out in Penang.

Heart for LIKE. =D Do press the LIKE button. Weeeee.

People’s Court At Sunset

People’s Court is one of the oldest flat in Penang, located somewhere near Cintra Street and Campbell Street. It was a place where all people lived happily and a majority of Chinese living there. Until today, the flats are still there with shop lots surrounding the place and now mostly elderly or old Penangite lives at there.

My family always loves to dine at the Chinese restaraunt, Boey Chong Kee which situated right below the People’s Court flat. =)

Chung Ling High School Sixth Form Food Fair

Yeah, it’s about my high school, Chung Ling High School again! I missed the super big food fair of Chung Ling High School few years back when I was Form 2, 14 years old and in between, the school didn’t organized any food fair until just recently that the Sixth Form student organized a food fair and invited me to come check it out.

Zez Chien.

Since many of my high school friends are in the Sixth Form, so I went to meet them, though, I couldn’t stay for long as I was working later that day.

See Rong Zhi.

From what I have known, the purpose of organizing the food fair was to fund for their graduation night.

Loke Yimei.

Jin Jie Tan, my classmate when I was form 5.

There’s many food at the food fair, and some games stall too. Although not very super-overwhelming, but then I can see the enjoyment of them in promoting and selling the food and everyone enjoyed.

Sook Fang and Jane.

Chin Lai.

Even though it was just a short visit, I met friends, talked and ate breakfast at there too, before I proceeded to work at Queensbay Mall.

Juan Shong, my class monitor in 2009.

Ong Kooi Jin. =D

I didn’t get to check out the fun fair area as I was in a hurry, afterall, it was a fun short while at the canteen. Oh yeah.

Photos Taken By Lumix LX5 At Panasonic Camera Booth

This is a actually a post filled with quite some random photos taken from the Panasonic Lumix LX5 at the Panasonic Camera Booth at Queensbay Mall which was basically where the play I was working temporary for the past 3 days. It’s a little Panasonic’s camera fair with a little booth there promoting Panasonic’s product.

I was so bored with the camera as I felt the only thing I could do was shoot. There’s no GF2 for me to play, or even GF1, I tried all the compact camera and the best is still the Lumix LX5. =D

I found one TZ20 which has super zoom and GPS but still not tempting cause there’s no F2.0 aperture, same goes to the super zoom semi pro FZ40 or FZ100. I only like 2 cameras by Panasonic and that’s LX5 and GF2. No more.

No choice that I have to promote every product and played with every of it. Spending time at there to take random photos was how I passed my time. It got boring some times when there’s no people come and check out the booth.

Saturday was a busy day for me and I hope that later today can be nice. =D

Cameras are pretty cheap here with Panasonic Lumix LX5 selling at RM1550 which is about RM50 cheaper than what I bought back in KL last time. Cheapest model entry level camera starting at RM399 with further discount and free gift. It’s quite a good deal, serious.

However, standing at there promoting was not a good job as I stand whole day, with perhaps sit for like less than 5 minutes in between and only sit during the break. HAHA. I have a pair of powerful legs now.

Anyway, if you happen to read this blog, come drop by at Queensbay Mall, in front of McDonald’s to say hi or check out some camera. Cheer! =)
