We Sent Our Intern To View This RM328,800 BMW Car, Here Are Her 5 Mindblown Moments

Being sent to my first BMW event, I had no expectations whatsoever. You could say I was merely expecting a crowd of car enthusiasts and motor journalists spouting technical car terms while nibbling on finger food and sipping some adult beverage.
But boy was I proven wrong the moment they asked if I wanted to sign up for the test drive experience upon registration.
Out of curiosity, I said yes. The necessary safety forms were filled and a red band was strapped on my wrist to indicate my participation.
And thus began my eye-opening journey at the recent launch of the BMW 3 Series in MITEC.

1. The event started with an informative walk down BMW 3 series’ memory lane.

Not knowing what to expect, I entered the event space and my world transformed to a neon-lit environment with chill beats playing in the background.
Then lo and behold, there was a glitzy showcase of all 7 generations of the BMW 3 Series, from 1975 to 2018.
I loved how the progression of the series’ designs gradually morphed from boxy to curvy but the BMW identity still maintains via their distinct grills and headlight designs.
The First Generation BMW 3 Series (E21)
With the display of these cars and the great playlist in the background, even the most car-ignorant person would find themselves bobbing their head while admiring these beauties.
The Seventh Generation BMW 3 Series (G20)
But this exhibition was only the beginning.
2. Then came what I can only describe as a car concert.

Everyone was then ushered through some black curtains that revealed an amphitheater with seats and a spacious stage. The show began with a visual presentation of the BMW 3 Series, from their legacy to the history and the key designs of the car.

When the new BMW 330i M Sport started making its appearance, driving by a screen of futuristic city aesthetics, this was combined with strobe lights, music and motion graphics.
It felt like being in a high-budget, super-idol concert, except the stars were the cars.

This presentation concluded with BMW Malaysia’s Managing Director & CEO, Harald Hölzl surrounded by 6 BMW 330i Ms, parked at different angles to show off their sleek beauty from all around.

3. A premium sports sedan pulled up with serious business.

This new sports sedan from BMW features precise lines, beautiful contours and classic elements such as its kidney grille (in layman’s terms it’s the grill between the car’s headlights), headlights and the Hofmeister kink (the top edge of a door).
Smoked tail lights on the Alpine White model
The smoked tail lights, and wider plus larger kidney grill gives it a more aggressive look to make a statement on the road as it zooms past slower cars.
Basically, you’d expect someone who works hard and plays even harder to emerge from this car.

The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant on-board listens to you, learns your driving habits to adjust the vehicle to suit your needs, explains vehicle functions and even provides status updates on things like the oil levels.
Sounds less naggy than a boyfriend, ladies. 😉

And one feature I liked (as a really forgetful person): you don’t have to worry about locking yourself out of the car. The BMW Digital Key can use NFC technology on a selection of Samsung phones to lock and unlock your car. The engine can then be started by placing the smartphone in the designated charging tray.
But now, I’d worry about losing my phone instead.

After being teased with all that was being said about this car, I couldn’t wait to get on the road with one.
4. I got my first taste, and I may be addicted.
As I approached the line of Portimao Blue bimmers, I took the opportunity, as the first to arrive at the car, to take my place on the driver’s seat.

The door closed with a solid muted thud, masking the outside world and its environmental noises, enveloping you into the full embrace of BMW.
The seat was contoured just right to provide spine and hip support, making it really comfortable to sit in for long periods of time.

My assigned driving-partner joined me shortly after and the dimensions of the car was comfortable enough to have some personal space between the driver and front passenger.

The ignition was smooth and silent, without any unnecessary engine revs despite it being a sports sedan. The test drive fleet was then routed towards Genting with a lead car providing instructions via a walkie-talkie.
5. A smooth drive on the road.

Despite being a wide-stanced car, it feels really agile. I was told that its intelligent lightweight construction enabled a weight reduction by 25 kilograms.
It’s safe to say that going up winding roads to Genting at 120 km/h were a breeze. It did not feel like I was being flung around the car or that it would lose control at any moment.
When the roads got packed with heavier traffic, I switched from “Comfort Mode” to “Eco Mode” and there was a notable difference in the engine. It felt more docile as it made a slower and steady climb up the hill.
Upon switching to sports mode, I low-key felt the car come alive which made zipping through traffic a breeze. But all without noisy engine revs.
However, Comfort Mode has got to be my favourite. It gave just enough power to the engine for a comfortable speed without lurching forward upon the slightest touch of the accelerator.
My driving-partner on the other hand shifted into manual gears. He briefly explained that the full throttle and manual switch from first gear provides an authentic manual car driving experience.
The Last Ride
BMW 330i M Sport in Black Sapphire
Overall, I left the event convinced that this is the ultimate car for Malaysian driving. It’s got the Eco Mode for when you’re stuck in horrible traffic, Sports Mode for when you’re rushing to a meeting and Comfort Mode for daily driving.
To get a little more technical, the M Sport suspension is an innovative damping system which neutralises vibrations during cornering and going over speed bumps. Hence it provides a smooth ride for passengers and drivers alike.
I also really like how the designs of the buttons and knobs were not too shallow but had a stiffer touch to them for a firm feel during operation.
Could see myself getting used to operating them without having to glance at them while driving after a while.

The new BMW 3 series is offered in five colours: Portimao Blue, Black Sapphire, Alpine White, Mineral Grey and Sunset Orange. The interiors come in premium Black or Cognac Leather Vernasca upholstery and interior trims finished in Aluminium Tetragon.
Bonus: The surprise preview of the BMW Z4!

If you feel like you need something zippier and snazzier, the BMW Z4 will be available at all authorized BMW dealerships nationwide from May 2019.
Pre-book one of these bad bois here!
The BMW 330i M Sport and BMW Z4 retail at RM328,800 and RM460,000 respectively. Find out more details on BMW Malaysia’s website.


With A WiFi Speed Of 300Mbps, This KL Co-Sharing Space Is Way Ahead Of The Pack

Co-sharing and co-working spaces are multiplying more rapidly than ever before to accommodate the rise in digital nomads and students who are seeking an alternative study space.
While there are many excellent spaces out there to choose from, two main criteria in selecting a spot is the price and without a doubt, the WiFi speed.
Where most co-working and co-sharing spaces (and even cafes these days) offer speeds of up to 100Mbps, one new co-sharing space is saying, “hold my tea” to that.

The aptly named new player, Like A Boss, is currently offering lightning WiFi speeds of up to 300Mbps.
According to Megapath, this Sonic Hedgehog-like speed is akin to downloading an entire presentation deck in merely 10 seconds. But of course, this also depends on the pool of users at any given time.

Still, 300Mbps is a pretty comfortable speed for those who require larger downloading and uploading quotas or simply need to access sites quicker.

But Mason, co-founder of Like A Boss, shared with DiscoverKL that they’re not stopping at that.
“We’re in the process of upgrading our WiFi speed to 800 Mbps. It should be ready within a month,” he said.

The reason why Like A Boss has significantly higher WiFi speeds, as compared to other spaces and cafes out there, is due to a personal struggle that Mason and his 2 co-founders shared.
The ex-accountant said, “We used to work in a cafe and the internet is not really stable and we found it very disturbing. That’s why we hoped to get a more stable internet connection for ourselves and also for our guests.”
Alongside quicker WiFi, Like A Boss offers unlimited coffee, tea, water and independent charging sockets as well as dedicated zones for those who need to focus or just relax.

The minimalist space is made up of open working areas and meeting rooms and it can accommodate up to 40 guests at any given time.
Light refreshments are available, including cup noodles and the occasional cake. While it is a free flow concept, the team relies on guests being mindful of others to ensure that there are sufficient refreshments for everyone.
If you’re planning to spend the day here, you can leave to purchase food and bring it back to the space to enjoy, while you get some work done. Meanwhile, there are 21 locker units available to store your precious belongings when you leave to get some sustenance.
For a full-day price of RM20, you can chill here the entire day with blissful connectivity speeds. Board games like Monopoly, Saboteur and Resistance are available and all-day pass guests will be able to utilise the co-sharing space’s printer unit to print up to 8 sheets (charges apply for additional printing).

There are alternative packages available for those who anticipate coming in more frequently:
 8+1 visits = RM139 (credits to be utilised within 30 days) Monthly pass = RM269
“When you get our monthly pass, you automatically become a member,” Mason said.
And being a member entitles you to:
24/7 accessA business addressMail & parcel handling Printing creditMeeting room credit Seat reservation (subject to availability)
Think of it as having your own personal work space but with minimal commitments.
Additionally, you can also talk to the team about setting up your own event and workshop using the co-sharing space as the venue.
If you’re curious, drop by on June 22nd for Like A Boss’ grand launch party where there will be complimentary refreshments, as well as workshops on the art of preserved flowers and perfecting your hand drip coffee skills. While you’re there, be sure to test out the WiFi speeds too! 😛

Image Credit: S&P Santan
Celebrating the patriotic spirit, a local company has decided to reward us fellow citizens with FREE packets of nasi lemak, along with goodie bags filled with Santan products.
Who doesn’t like free food, am I right?
As we know, Malaysians can never turn down a good packet of nasi lemak. Myself included! Especially when it has been cooked in rich coconut milk, accompanied with sambal, cucumber, peanuts and fried anchovies – yum! Hence, it’s awesome how S&P company will be giving away the much-loved dish that defines the true identity of Malaysia.
Image Credit: S&P Santan
As reported by The Malay Mail, according to S&P Industries’ rep, the 3-day campaign ends on August 24 and the objective of the whole campaign is to celebrate the days leading up to Merdeka (August 31).
You may know S&P Industries for their packed coconut milk brand Santan, a kitchen staple that is used in the making of chicken curries and nasi lemak dishes.
Image Credit: S&P Santan
To kick off the first day of the campaign, pop-up booths were seen at the Bukit Jalil LRT station, on the morning of August 21, from 6.30am-11.30am. So if you missed the first giveaway, you’ve still got two more to look out for.
Image Credit: S&P Santan
The free nasi lemak pop-up booth would be located at Wangsa Maju LRT station on Thursday (August 23) from 6.30am-10.30am and Wisma Yap Kwan Seng from 11.30am-2.30pm on Friday (August 24).
On top of that, S&P Industries will also be organising a social media campaign in the name of charity. All we have to do is share what we love most about being a Malaysian on S&P Industries’ Facebook page. With every post, RM1 will be donated to said charity.
Excited to get some free goodies with nasi lemak? Then, keep your dates free and visit the selected locations that were mentioned!

M'sians Are Training Religiously In Dragon Boating—They Even Compete Internationally

Dragon boating is a well-known sport in countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan and especially Singapore. Unsurprisingly, this sport has now reached Malaysian shores and there are plenty of dragon boat enthusiasts in our country who are actively practicing for competitions, and they are predominantly based in Penang, Malacca and also, Klang Valley.
Being a dragon boater is a lot of hard work and it requires plenty of technique, strength and endurance.
I would know, as after all I am a dragon boater myself.
Image Credit: Argo Naga
I joined this water sport because I was interested and curious about it. It all started when I first attended local dragon boat association, Argo Naga’s open day and was instantly sold on the sport.
My team, Argo Naga, which is barely a year old, consists of 115 people and we are considered as one of the largest dragon boat teams in Malaysia. Interestingly, my team consists of a mix of millennials and the oldest dragon boater is 49 years old, whereas the youngest competitor is only 20 years old!

Image Credit: Brad Lee
Interestingly, this sport is not just for guys either as there are a number of female competitors as well. In fact, there is a group of boaters competing in the female category of boating competitions. Our oldest female paddler is 49 years old.
My team’s personal aim is to compete internationally in 2017, but there are teams in Penang which have already competed outside of Malaysia.
Image Credit: Argo Naga
For Argo Naga’s latest competition in early December, we spent 8 weeks of basic training and an additional 20 weeks on advanced training. We trained at private swimming pools and PJ Palm as well as the Putrajaya Lake in order to work on our paddling techniques and strength.
When the day of the competition for the international open arrived, over 115 people boarded a bus down to the cultural island of Penang. It was like a fleet of army personnels readying ourselves for a battlefield. We even had a test run at the Teluk Bahang lake prior to the actual competition.

The 2-day event we sent 3 to 6 boats of our competitors out to compete. Frankly, we went in with open minds and did not expect much. We just wanted to try our best and experience what it felt like to compete.
We wound up placing 5th in the 250m competition but to us, it’s not about winning, it’s about the effort and the team spirit.
Image Credit: Argo Naga
Dragon boating requires team work and through this sport, I have gained plenty of friends from across the country. Collectively, we always have to have the mentality to push forward despite mental struggles or fatigue, as we would not be able to function alone.
We may sometimes have disagreement among our team members but at the end of the day, there is only one goal in mind and that is to compete to our best ability, regardless of whether or not we would wind up as champions.

This sport is no walk in the park. During each training session, we would devote all our time and energy for it. In fact, each training session will generally last for 3 hours. During this period, we would be given a period of 5 minutes to rest before returning to practice.
Image Credit: Brad Lee
It is not a cheap sport either. You will require water sports attire, water resistant footwear, a life jacket, a personal handcrafted wooden paddle, and plenty of sunblock. This is all addition to the monthly fee to the organisation itself. All in, it could cost more than RM400 to start off with.
Still, I would choose this sport any day.
Image Credit: Lee Kah Fai
One thing this sport has taught me is that it requires full commitment. Every time I paddle or train, it gives me an adrenaline rush that is unlike any other. That is exactly why I believe that it would eventually be more common to hear of dragon boating in Klang Valley itself. I believe it won’t be long before this sport gain more attraction and more will begin signing up not just as a member, but to compete as well.
Image Credit: Philip Khoo
Most importantly, this sport has given me lifelong friends that I would gladly call family.

Spill The Dish: What Makes Rata's Lamb Ragout Mango Chutney Pizza So Addictive?

They may be a relatively new kid on the block—having existed for less than a year—but we all know how word on good food spreads quickly.
Within the short span of a few months, Rata has managed to garner its own loyal following, which mostly comprises of hungry Subang-ites.
Helmed by Chef Vic, this restaurant is a culmination of the knowledge and skills he learnt from doing his fair share of rounds in restaurants and hotels, and he spent just shy of a decade doing that.

Rata serves up modern Malaysian cuisine with an emphasis on using mostly locally-produced products. In fact, their name alludes to this.
“Rata stands for Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands. Reason being, as Malaysians, we would like to support our local producers to encourage a better growth and support system in the industry,” Chef Vic shared with DiscoverKL.

When asked what Rata’s staple dish is, Chef Vic initially excitedly shared over 6 dishes that every KL-ite should try at his establishment.
We narrowed it down to Rata’s bestselling pizza: the lamb ragout and mango chutney pizza.
Chef Vic noted that initially, it was supposed to be just a lamb ragout pizza with plenty of lamb and spices but somehow, the flavours just didn’t sit well with the team and they felt like it was missing a key ingredient.
Chef Vic had created some mango chutney for use in another dish but with a spark of inspiration, he combined the two and that’s how the lamb ragout and mango chutney pizza came to be.
In order to create this dish, first, the team will lay out a freshly-kneaded dough made with strong bread flour, on a counter surface.
“The most important part is to get the pizza dough right,” Chef Vic said.
On the round bed of flattened dough, they pour on Rata’s in-house pizza sauce, a generous amount of mozzarella cheese, 100g of slow-cooked lamb ragout, sautéed local wild mushrooms, tomato confit and dollops of mango chutney.
A fresh batch of pizza dough (L), with some of Rata’s other bestselling pizzas.
It is then cooked in a commercial pizza oven at 300 degrees.
The secret to their pizza’s “elastic”, chewy texture is the yeast used. “We use good quality yeast and let it proof longer than usual to get it as “elastic” as possible,” the chef noted.
As for the sauces (basil tomato sauce and mango chutney), they’re both made using 100% locally-sourced ingredients and the team makes them in small batches in order to serve freshly-made sauces to customers as often as possible.
The lamb used in the pizza has been freshly minced and further braised with plenty of herbs in the tomato sauce.
The resulting dish is a pizza with a “not-too-thin” crust, topped with hearty ingredients. It’s good to share amongst 4 pax, so that’s roughly 2 slices each, granted that you don’t bicker with your peers for their share.
At the restaurant, pizzas are only available in full 8 slices and the team sells anywhere between 200-250 whole pizzas per month—and that’s just this flavour alone.

If you’re looking to get a taste of this pizza (maybe just a slice or two), you can do so for the next couple of consecutive Thursdays-Sundays at Tiffin Food Court (TFC) where Rata will be.
They will also be previewing 3 new dishes curated exclusively for the event.
Sold at RM5 per slice, there will be an allocation of 40 pizzas (200 slices) per day of event and you won’t have to worry about cold pizzas because they are constantly kept warm through the food warmers which will be stationed at the event.
According to Chef Vic, what makes this particular pizza a bestseller amongst guests is the fact that it tastes unique and authentic and it’s made using fresh ingredients. “We are very generous with the toppings and our flavours are well-balanced,” he added.
If you happen to drop by during the later part of the day and the team has run out of the lamb ragout and mango chutney pizza, Chef Vic suggests coming back the next day or he might even offer you vouchers to dine at Rata.

Should it be your first time trying Rata’s pizza at TFC and you happen to fall in love with it, you can always head back to Rata SS15 and order up one to share—or have all to yourself, no one’s judging. 😛

This Indoor Gokarting & Drifting Space In KL Is "Tokyo Drift" Goals In Real Life!

There’s just a certain adrenaline rush that comes from racing cars.
Perhaps it’s the idea of feeling completely invincible as you tear through the streets at top speed with the wind in your hair.
While it won’t be possible to do this in an actual car on an actual road, you can indulge in a similar kind of rush by going gokarting instead.
It’s not a new sport but clearly, it’s a timeless one.

And what makes indoor gokarting space Blastacars unique is the fact that they are not just meant for a casual spin around the course, it’s meant for DRIFTING!
Located on the 5th floor of Sungei Wang Plaza, the karts used at Blastacars have actually been developed in New Zealand in 1987 and its tough built and powerful engines makes it easy to race around the track.
In fact, the karts are hand built in New Zealand and adhere to their strict safety standards.
The 200m-track is built with a slippery surface so sliding and drifting around the corners is made simpler.

The fact that the entire course is indoors also means that you can race in spite of rainy or humid weather.
Whether you’ve been racing at gokarting spaces all your life or this is your first time, Blastacars caters to different levels of expertise, from beginners to professionals. All racing gear will be provided as well.

“Our karts have 3 speed settings, Novice, Advance and Pro. Our pro karts, with their powerful 390cc Honda engines offers an adrenaline pumping experience but you need to prove you can handle this power first! Come in and show your skill on our Advance speed 270cc karts first. Once the staff thinks you are ready, they will award you with your ‘Black Card License’ allowing you to race on the more powerful karts,” Blastacars mentioned on their website.

For 10 minutes of drive time, novice drivers (beginners) pay a fixed price of RM60 while advance (intermediate) drivers pay a fixed price of RM90. Pro drivers (expert level) pay a fixed price of RM100.

If you’re not ready for the actual course just yet, opt to play the triple screen race simulator where there will be 3 screens displaying an open road simulation. Their triple screen race simulators are available for linked play or online competition and the race simulator room has 4 machines. The triple screen race simulator is priced at RM60 for 30 minutes and RM100 for 60 minutes.
But for the maximum level of adrenaline and excitement, we’d suggest heading straight for the go karts!

9 Tips That Will Help You Conquer The Upcoming Artbox M'sia Like A True Pro

Artbox Malaysia will be making its debut in KL and with a line-up of hundreds of stalls, you’d want to make the best of your time there. If this happens to be your first bazaar, here are some tips to help you conquer Artbox like a seasoned pro.
1. Head there by 2.45pm.
Be one of the firsts to arrive so you’ll have a chance to explore without having to brave through a sea of humans. While this will ultimately be inevitable, especially as the day progresses, at the very least, you’ll get to explore freely before the crowd starts…even if it’s only for an hour or so.
2. Fill up at the start of your journey.
Image Credit: Artbox Malaysia
This is a strategic move. With the huge amount of foods to try out, you’d want to space out your makan times so you’ll actually have the capacity to stomach all the good food. And boy will there be lots of them to try!
3. Wear a cap.
A cap, unlike an umbrella, is versatile and can be worn whether it’s rain or shine. With our unpredictable weather, it’s wise to wear a cap so you can shop comfortably.
4. Bring along small change.
As much as possible, bring along small change so you’ll be able to pay for items like small bites and knick knacks. You’ll also make it a lot easier for the vendors at Artbox. Win-win.
5. Stay hydrated and take pee breaks when necessary.
Image Credit: Artbox Malaysia
It’s easy to spend a day at Artbox hunting down good buys and forgetting to stay hydrated. Bring along a bottle of water or have a drink in hand as you explore. While there aren’t any toilets available at the open air carpark, you can always head to Sunway Pyramid, which is a 5-minute walk away.
6. Park at the most strategic spot.
According to Artbox’s website, the nearest parking spots are at the Sunway Pyramid mall, Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa, The Pinnacle Sunway, Sunway Geo and BRT SunU-Monash. With a plethora of parking spaces, you’d likely find a spot, but The Pinnacle would be your best bet as it’s the closest.
7. Dress up!
Image Credit: Artbox Malaysia
There will be ongoing art installations throughout the 2-weekend event and if you’re one to take cool IG snaps, you might want to consider Artbox’s as well.
8. Pack plastic bags and wet wipes.
Regular bazaar and market-goers would be all too familiar with the hassle of having to look for a bin. Most of us would wind up having to hold on to our plastic wraps longer than we need to. Packing a plastic bag lets you compile all your rubbish together and you can simply toss the whole bag away when you spot a bin. Wet wipes are a must too, especially if you’re planning to eat foods that are generally messy.
9. Split up amongst your group of friends.

End Your 2017 With A Bang At These 11 Firework Hotspots In Klang Valley

2017 has been a roller coaster ride for many of us but at the end of the day, we have successfully made it through 365 days. Regardless of whether we regretted some of our actions and words in 2017, it is now all in the past and what we can do is learn from it and do better in 2018. With that note, here are 11 places in Klang Valley where you can end 2017 with a bang and ring in the new year.
1. Taman Tasik Titiwangsa
Image Credit: Pinterest
There are high grounds and low grounds here, and the best vantage point is always the higher grounds. Sure, it can be disconcerting to know that you have to climb, but those ten minutes of display, just for you to feel 2017 slip away, ought to be worth it.
2. Bridge Bar @ G Tower
Image Credit: AWOL
Bridge Bar is known for its magnificent views, and they are organising a New Year’s Eve party this year, even! Celebrate the end of this year away from the busy city and enjoy a spectacular view of the fireworks at the top of G Tower!
3. Troika Sky Dining
Image Credit: Hotels.com
Malaysians, especially those who live in KL and Selangor, have been spoiled with numerous choices of fine dining. And Troika Sky Dining certainly is an impressive one. Not only does it have the effervescent environment of fine dining and good food, you can also get a really nice view of the New Year fireworks when the countdown reaches zero.
4. Changkat, Bukit Bintang
Image Credit: Hotels.com
Changkat has always been a hub of activities in Kuala Lumpur, somewhat shady but always lively. With rows upon rows of bars and pubs that always wake up at night, you can bet there is always something to go along with your joy of finally seeing the year end, while also getting a rather good vantage view of the fireworks.
5. Heli Lounge Bar
Image Credit: Malaysia Asia
A helipad by day, and then a bar by night—talk about leading a double life. 😛 Push yourself up the flight of stairs to reach the helipad and you will be confronted with a 360 degree view of Kuala Lumpur in its glory, almost as if you’re on top of the world, if not for KLCC looming over you to remind you that you’re just a tiny human being. Grab a whiskey, take a seat, and imagine a helicopter flying over to pick you up as the fireworks burst into flames right above your heads.
6. The Curve
Image Credit: Time Out
Every end of the year, The Curve has something lined up to get ready for the new year; there are street parties, fireworks, and live performances. If you plan to usher in the new year with cheaper drinks, you’ll also be glad to know that the pubs and cafés lining up the streets will definitely be hosting special happy hour and NYE promotions.
7. Marini’s on 57
Image Credit: Marini’s On 57
This rooftop bar is unlike other rooftop bars in Malaysia, because the ceiling is made of glass, which gives you a full view of whatever’s going on in the sky without any obstructions. It’s everything you can ask for in a bar: a nice view, a comfortable ambiance, and good food and drinks.
8. Stratosphere @ The Roof
Image Credit: Hotels.com
Petaling Jaya has its own rooftop bar too. Located above Stratosphere, patrons get a chance to have a look at the popular town from above. And since it’s not far from malls like The Curve, you’ll get an even better view of the fireworks display compared to those at the actual location.
9. I-City
Image Credit: Adib Rawi
I-City puts on light shows all year round; it would have been a crime for them to not host a delightful fireworks display, especially when the new year is right around the corner. Plus, wouldn’t it be fun to enjoy the fireworks combined with all the other light displays flooding the place?
10. KLCC Park
Image Credit: Star2
Right in the middle of KLCC precinct sits the sprawling KLCC park, and there is always something happening during New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. This year, they are organising musical performances and rousing fireworks—a three-hour-long event featuring performances by performers like Alif Satar, Idayu, and DJ Roundhead of Traxx FM and many more.
11. Merdeka Square
Image Credit: Mapio.net
What is a New Year’s celebration without Dataran Merdeka? If you were to switch on the television to watch a live broadcast of a New Year’s Day countdown, you would definitely be familiar with the countdown at Dataran Merdeka. It never fails to provide a spectacular view each year, what with it being one of the more popular places for a firework display in Klang Valley.

We Tried 40 Dishes At This RM160 Choc Buffet—The Winners Are Clear

Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur is known for their breathtaking views, attentive hospitality and interactive dining experiences at the THIRTY8 restaurant, wine bar and lounge.

After our romantic five course adventure with them on Valentine’s Day, we decided to return for a grown-up version of a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory adventure.
High on Sugar: Chocolate Finesse is a cocoa-rich afternoon tea buffet featuring over 40 chocolate inspired recipes using chocolates sourced from Malaysia, Belgium, France and Switzerland.
Grand Hyatt uses chocolate from notable brands like Callebaut, Valhorna and Felchlin.
Brownies and chocolate chip cookies made from four types of chocolates.
Executive Chef Rolf Knecht spilled the (cocoa) beans on the differences and similarities between the four types of chocolates used to produce this dessert finesse.
Firstly, all four chocolates used the same cocoa beans. It’s their roasting and processing methods that produces different characteristics in the chocolates.

Chef Rolf also shared how the Malaysian chocolate, which originates from small cocoa bean farms in Pahang, are his personal go-to snack. He would also opt for the Pahang chocolate when whipping up a chocolate dessert for his children. He added that by purchasing from local sources, it encourages sustainability, supports local businesses and produces smaller carbon footprints.
For instance, Callebaut, a form of Belgium chocolate, is a sustainable brand that’s big on going against deforestation.

From a chocolate tasting section to a guilt-free corner and plated chocolate savouries served hot, here are the 6 dishes that caught our attention.
1. Crème Brûlée
Pahang Chocolate and freshly-burned traditional crème brûlée
Part of the experience of this chocolate buffet is the pleasure of watching your desserts being made in front of your eyes.
Traditional crème brûlée being torched
The traditional crème brûlée was custard soft with a delightful crackly sugar top. Not too sweet, not too creamy, the flavours are nicely balanced.
Pahang Chocolate crème brûlée
If you’ve never had a chocolate crème brûlée, this one’s worth a shot. With the torched layer of sugar on top, it tasted like a roasted chocolate custard, perfect for those with an affection for a smokey aftertaste in their food.
2. Belgium Chocolate Raspberry Gateau

More often than not, chocolate cakes tend to either be too airy, too dense or sickly sweet and spammed with buttercream. But this moist chocolate cake topped with silky smooth Callebaut chocolate nailed the texture just right.
It’s soft enough to be easily sliced through with a fork, but firm enough to hold its shape. The sweet tartness of the raspberries add an extra depth to the chocolate cake, reigning it back from the pitfalls of being ‘just another chocolate cake’.
3. Pahang Banana Chocolate Cake

Another personal fave was the Pahang Banana Chocolate Cake. With a more chocolate to banana ratio, it could very well be a chocolate cake with bananas, but we’re not complaining!
A slice of Pahang Banana Chocolate Cake on a plate with an assortment of other cakes
It’s essentially a chocolate cream with fresh banana chunks sandwiched between two thin layers of chocolate sponge. Then, more chunks of fresh bananas are topped on before a decadent chocolate ganache unifies it all.
4. A La Minute Menu
White Chocolate Baba Ghannouj, Shepherd’s Pie, Black Angus espresso
Regardless whether you start or end your meal with the desserts, this chocolate buffet’s hot food menu is also worth the tummy space.
The Shepherd’s Pie has a juicy minced beef base and a flavoursome baked mash on top—your typical pie done right with balanced measurements of each ingredient.
It comes with a Black Angus espresso, which is essentially a cocoa beef meatball dish. It has a rather interesting dark cocoa flavour profile to it. The gravy, mash and sautèed peppers complimented the firm meatballs that held its form with each bite.
However, the real show stealer was the White Chocolate Baba Ghannouj.
Dictionary Time: Baba Ghannouj is a Levantine dish made by mashing cooked eggplant with tahini and olive oil. It is often enjoyed with a side of pita bread.
 “White chocolate is deemed as the unwanted stepchild of chocolates to chefs as it mainly consists of cocoa fat,” shared Chef Rolf. However, it incorporates well with savoury food in creating a rich and creamy texture while naturally enhancing flavours.
Containing lesser calories than most ingredients that are usually in a baba ghannouj, white chocolate is added to create a rich and creamy texture. It also apparently goes well with any dish that has tahini too.
Hence, this Baba Ghannouj was creamy but light and flavourful with a burst of refreshing sweetness from the pomegranates.
5. Hand-whisked chocolate milkshake by the Chef

Chef Rolf’s deep knowledge on chocolates and the ways of the wok combined with his charisma makes him an absolute delight to be around. With his jovial grin, he would talk to anyone that makes eye contact or shows a spark of joy in their eyes.
If nothing at the dessert bar impresses you, feel free to request for a hand-whisked chocolate milkshake made with Pahang chocolate. Using vanilla ice-cream as a base, he whisks it with melted chocolate and whipping cream to create a milkshake so smooth, it’s akin to a fuller and creamier chocolate milk.
BONUS: Compressed Watermelon Salad

Honestly, the chocolate buffet spread can seem pretty daunting even to a sweet tooth like me. While I appreciated and enjoyed the chocolate treats, it got a little sickly after five desserts. Hence, it was really thoughtful of the chefs to create fruit based palate refreshers.
Among the pineapple meringue pies, blue berry tarts and mango mille-feuille (a custard pastry), these salted and spiced cubes of watermelon were a breath of fresh air.

Imagine this; a tinge of salt with a hint of mixed herbs, garnished with a single mint leaf and half a green olive combined with the natural sweetness of watermelons.
Mindbogglingly delicious but according to science, salt makes watermelon taste sweeter through a sweet and salty contrast.

11 Songs We Hope Bruno Mars Will Sing When He Performs In Malaysia In May 2018

If you haven’t already heard, Bruno Mars will be performing live in Malaysia in May 2018. While we’re not sure of the exact song list as of yet, we’re definitely hoping that he’ll be singing some of his bigger hits like Just The Way You Are and That’s What I Like. In fact, these are the 11 songs that we hope will be on his song list.
1. Count On Me

Count On Me is one of Bruno’s earlier hits and the feel good tune is reminiscent of Jason Mraz’s earlier works. It’s just one of those songs we hope the musician will play unplugged on the ukulele.
2. Talking To The Moon

“I know you’re somewhere out there, somewhere far away. I want you back.” That’s how Talking To The Moon starts off, making it one of the more underrated breakup songs of all time and a song we hope he performs acoustic.
3. Grenade

“It’s a heartbreaking, heartbreak song, and I think everyone can relate to that,” Bruno said of his song, Grenade, in an interview once. If you’ve ever heard Bruno perform this live before, you’d hear the heartbreak in his voice as he sings the words. It’s a whole other side of him that we’re hoping to be able to see in person too.
4. Just The Way You Are

This is perhaps the default song to play for your GF when she’s feeling down. It’s a sweet reminder from Bruno that we’re beautiful ‘just the way we are’. Now imagine Bruno singing this in person to you.
5. The Lazy Song

Bet you’ve felt lazy more than once before and this would’ve been your ultimate jam. Because of how #relatable it is, it’s been played more than 1000 million times on YouTube. We’re thinking it’s one of those songs that’s replayed over and over again on weekends. A plus would be to watch Bruno performing this live with his backup dancers all dressed in monkey suits.
6. Marry You

This is one of the top contenders for songs to be played at one’s proposal and we bet many Malaysians have used it before to propose to the girl of their dreams. It’d be the ultimate cherry on the cake if these very Malaysians are at Bruno’s concert next May!
7. Locked Out Of Heaven

This song marked a significant difference in Bruno’s style of songwriting. Where he was once known for his love song ballads, he was slowly transitioning into the 24k Magic style of writing that we’re used to today, with Locked Out Of Heaven.
8. 24K Magic

Where our airwaves are currently filled with plenty of songs with EDM vibes, it’s refreshing to have 24K Magic on. Its melody is reminiscent of music in the ’90s, especially the chorus. It’s also a super chill song you’ll wanna have on while you’re rolling around with the windows down.
9. That’s What I Like

Do yourself a favour and watch the official video of That’s What I Like and treat yourself to 3 and a half minutes of Bruno dancing. If you’re a fan of Bruno’s newer work, hearing them live would be a treat, and this includes That’s What I Like.
10. Versace On The Floor

Versace On The Floor sounds like it could fit right into the soundtrack of the ’80s and it showcases Bruno’s range of vocals with a super cheesy, yet oh-so-good accompanying melody. This would be the perfect end to his concert and if he sings it, we’re guessing it would be during the encore session.
If you’ve finished your karaoke session of Bruno Mars’ songs, we bet you’re yearning to watch him live when he comes down to KL next year. Bruno’s upcoming concert is slated for May 9th, 2018 and tickets will officially go on sale on August 14th, 2017 at 10am on both My Ticket Asia and PR Worldwide Live. Remember to keep it glued to both sites and refresh until that little window of opportunity opens to purchase them!
