20 Instagram Snapshots That'll Make You Feel #Bangga To Be An Anak Malaysia

With the upcoming Merdeka and the 4-day weekend, you have all the more reason to get outside of your comfort zone and travel more. Well, why not start within Malaysia itself? There are plenty of beautiful places in our country, as proven by the countless snapshots on Instagram. We’ve compiled 20 of them to inspire you to travel this upcoming Merdeka and who knows, perhaps you’d have the opportunity to snap a few memories of your own too.
1. Cameron Highlands
Cameron Highlands and its rolling hills is an escape for KL-ites, what with its cool breeze and tea and fruit plantations. You’ll feel at peace as you admire the stunning bright green backdrop of Cameron Highlands whilst you bask under the sunlight.

2. Mabul Island
As compared to the likes of Perhentian and Sipadan, Mabul Island is lesser known but it should in fact be the word on everyone’s lips when it comes to an island with clear blue waters. This island which is situated off the coast of Sabah was a fishing village 4 decades ago but is now popular amongst those who enjoy outdoor water activities.

3. Kek Lok Si Temple
You can’t help but be in awe of Kek Lok Si temple’s stunning architecture while you’re here. The pagoda itself is comprised of 3 different architectural styles (Burmese, Thai and Chinese) and besides being a place of worship for the Buddhists, is also a tourist attraction in Penang.

4. Mount Kinabalu
The sight at the peak of Mount Kinabalu is said to be breathtaking (and not just because you’re at such a height!) Hikers would come prepared to trek all the way to the summit, just before sunrise and marvel at the beauty of God’s creation.

5. KLCC Park
Right in the heart of KL is the iconic KLCC park with its lush greeneries and beautiful lake. It’s interesting that in the hustle and bustle of city life, there’s one place that you can come to just to clear your mind. It’s also an ideal picnic spot if you want an alternative dining experience. We know that KL has plenty of restaurants but trust us, this will be a ‘dining’ experience you likely won’t forget.

6. Tinggi Island
Tinggi Island could perhaps be Johor’s best kept secret. Like Mabul, it is a lesser known island in Malaysia but is definitely not lesser in comparison to our other islands. With only 500 villagers living on this island, this also makes it one of the quieter islands in Malaysia with a small population.

7. Bako National Park
What makes Bako all the more special is the fact that it opened the same year that Malaysia gained its independence. Bako is home to wildlife, flora and fauna and is known to have a few well-marked trails suited for leisurely strolls as well as hikes.

8. Gunung Mulu National Park
Gunung Mulu is very much deserving of its UNESCO World Heritage title and you would know why as soon as you step foot here. It’s the perfect getaway from the busy lifestyle in KL and you can trek around the Borneo rainforest while you’re here.

9. Malacca Straits Mosque
There’s nothing quite like the Malaccan mosque which is situated on the man-made Malaccan Island. When photographed at a certain angle, it looks almost as if the mosque is floating on the surface of the water. There’s a covered bridge leading towards the mosque which is positioned on top of strong pillars.

10. Pangkor Island
Pangkor Island needs no introduction and it is one of the most visited islands in Malaysia for a reason. If you’re up for it, this island is home to plenty of activities such as banana boat rides and snorkeling. You can even enjoy a fishing trip here for an alternative getaway experience.

11. Mount Jerai
Mount Jerai is the highest peak in Kedah and it’s the backdrop to the iconic vast Kedah paddy fields. Among some of the activities you can enjoy while you’re in the Mount Jerai area are hiking to the waterfalls, setting up a picnic and camping outdoors.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BW4nkISDk1L

12. Jubakar
Nope, this is not the land which Chewbacca inhabits. This kampong in Kelantan is in fact famous for the Jubakar beach which becomes the setting for many a photo shoot. In fact, if you search up the Jubakar hashtag on Instagram, the results would include plenty of shots from this very beach.

13. Kapas Island
Instead of popular islands like Pulau Redang and Pulau Perhentian, you should grab a ticket and head over to Pulau Kapas as this place is pretty secluded and peaceful so you get to enjoy your snorkeling in peace and quiet. As the water is clear, you will be able to spot marine life easily too.

14. Cape Rachado Lighthouse
Many would end up at the Cape Rachado Lighthouse after completing their hike. In fact, most would plan out an entire day out here to hike, enjoy the view from the lighthouse and finally head to the beach for a nice picnic.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BXLKUUulLXl/
15. Timah Tasoh Lake
Mention Timah Tasoh Lake and any Perlis native would say that it’s one of their best kept secrets. Some of the activities you can enjoy while here is spending time by the lake itself as well as heading to the fruit orchard. One of the fruits you’ve totally got to try when it’s in season is the Harumanis mango fruit wherein a kilo of this fruit can be priced up to RM20.

16. Dutch Square, Malacca
Step back in time when you’re at the Malaccan Dutch Square where the entire area is painted in a bright vivid red shade. The Stadhuys area used to be the place of residence for Dutch officials but it is now a tourist location. Despite having been around for centuries, it’s clear that the Dutch Square area is very well-maintained and still looks as picturesque even with time.

17. Penang City Hall
The Penang City Hall is an all-white building which happens to be a World Heritage Site and was even used as a setting for one of the scenes in the iconic movie, Anna and the King.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BXSZsK8BSV5
18. Kundasang
If you’re hoping to escape the heat, one of the few places you could do so in Malaysia are the Highlands area and also Kundasang, Sabah. Here, you can inhale crisp, clean air each morning as you wake up and there’s also plenty of activities here such as heading to the Desa Dairy Farm to enjoy some freshly made ice cream.

19. Batu Caves
If you’re up for it, consider climbing the stairs at Batu Caves all the way to the top, as countless do every single day. It’s a humbling experience and you’ll also be at a vantage point to enjoy the scenery below. Batu Caves is one of the more iconic places of worship for Hindus, besides the shrines in India.

20. Bukit Katak
Frog Hill is a place where you will find plenty of ponds that are clear and turquoise green. Many often take great photos or bathe in these ponds. When heading here, be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes as the area tends to be a little muddy. Still, it is worth the trek to see these scenic places in person.

#SaveOrSplurge: We Customised A RM33.90 Grain Bowl With The Most Expensive Ingredients

#SaveOrSplurge is a DiscoverKL series highlighting the most luxurious makan experiences, activities, places and travel spots in and out of KL. Leave it to our team to find out if you should just “save your money” or “splurge all the way”.

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of health bowls and would rarely turn down a chance to indulge in them—my colleagues, not so much.
Recently, we decided to build our own bowls with Agrain. It allowed us a chance to choose among 30+ options and 3 different bowl sizes.
Unlike other food delivery services, Agrain is a restaurant and food delivery service in Klang Valley that focuses on healthy grain bowls.
If you can’t be fussed about building your own bowl, they have preset bowls for you to choose from too.

The brand focuses on nutrition density and their carb, protein and supplement options are also intentionally heartier in order to keep you fuller for longer.
Feeling adventurous, we decided to splurge on some of Agrain’s more premium options and upsized certain portions to see if it would actually be worth it to spend on a premium bowl or would it just be a huge portion of carbs and sad portions of proteins and vegetables.
We went with the following order and it was priced at RM33.90:
Large Bowl:
ecoBrown’s Rice (we added an additional serving)Baked SalmonHerb-Crusted White FishOnsen EggChickpea SaladHerb Roasted PotatoesChopped Spring OnionsGreen Curry Sauce
Admittedly, when the bowl arrived, I was pretty impressed.
It arrived in pristine conditions. In comparison, I’ve had meals delivered in similar brown paper containers and there were visible grease stains on them. Not only that, the box would sometimes arrive in squashed conditions too.
So this was already a huge step up.
The contents of my Agrain order looked visually impressive and the inner kiasu in me was happy with how heavy the container felt too.

The fishes stood out for me, both for their portion and taste. The baked salmon, albeit having a chewy leathery skin (which is considered normal for the way it was cooked), was soft and bone-free.
Meanwhile, the herb-crusted white fish had a nice crunchy crust followed by melt-in-the-mouth softness.
The onsen egg, when mixed with the rice, unfortunately, created a wet sloppy mixture. It did not look as appetising as we had hoped for it to be. When eaten separately though, they were tasty.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the chickpeas as well because they tasted too sour, perhaps due to it being tossed in some lemon juice to retain the freshness.

The “pièce de résistance” for this dish was the humble baked potatoes, which arrived with the skin on. Thanks to the rough cuts and baking them skin on, the potatoes were not mushy in consistency. Have some of these with the green curry and you might just forget the funky-tasting chickpeas you’ve had earlier.
At the end of the day, health bowls are no doubt an acquired taste and arguably, it’s not for everyone.
And even if you’re a huge fan of health bowls, it pays to know what ingredients work well with each other. In hindsight, I probably would have gone with complementary supplements to the baked potatoes and fish. Some garlic cauliflowers might have been more ideal for the crunch factor, considering how everything else was of a softer, mushier texture.
Portion-wise though, I was satisfied. I wound up sharing the bowl with a colleague because there was no way I’d be able to finish the large portion on my own.
Because we halved the portion evenly, it would only cost us roughly RM17 each to recreate this bowl again. Considering how I’d end up paying RM15-RM20 for a similar bowl, I like how a simple upgrade at Agrain allowed me a chance to try 2 types of fish, rice, and a mix of vegetables.
So, is the upsized RM33.90 bowl by Agrain a #SaveOrSplurge? Here’s a breakdown based on your spending category:
College/Uni Students: Once in a (long) while, definitely. Having once been a college student myself (ages ago), I can relate to how college life can get ridiculously expensive and regularly spending RM33.90 on health bowls is absurd.
However, if you’re planning to share this large bowl with a friend, it would roughly be RM17 for a pretty hearty portion including proteins like salmon and herb-crusted fish. That should leave you feeling full for hours.
That said, I don’t know many college students who’d want to have a health bowl every single day so I’d say, order this in on days when you’re rushing an assignment with your group mates or if you’re planning to stay in on a Friday night and treat yourself to a hearty meal.
Young Working Adults: If you’re too lazy to meal prep, consider making this a once or twice-a-week thing. Being someone who has lived both the meal prep and the monthly subscription meal plan life, I’d say that this is a nice in-between option.
A huge reason why I chose to meal prep in the first place was because I got to control how much oil, salt and sugar goes into my meals. As ideal as the situation was though, I wasn’t disciplined enough to prepare my meals weekly.
With Agrain’s healthier options, those in the same boat as me can opt to treat themselves (perhaps once or twice a week) to a nutritious, albeit pricier, upsized bowl.
We’d suggest going for affordable mixed rice options on alternate days because let’s face it, you’re likely not balling…yet.
Working Professionals: This is well within your means, so I’d say, go for it! At this age, you’re likely more comfortable with spending RM33.90 on a meal regularly so Agrain’s upsized bowls are within your spending budget.
If you’re not someone with a huge appetite, you can opt for a salad base to make it healthier and, portion-wise, more manageable.
And you don’t have to order in every single time (even though delivery is free of charge). For a change of scenery, those working in Greater KL can visit Agrain at any one of their 3 outlets in Menara Hap Seng, Gardens North Tower or Intermark Mall.

DKL Ambassador Highlights #4: Sneaker Conventions, Halloween Parties & More!

The DiscoverKL ambassador team had a great month of October, where they attended plenty of cool events which included sneaker conventions, Halloween parties and more. Here’s a recap of all the fun things they got up to the past month!
1. Ikano Power Centre Food District Relaunch
Ikano Power Centre recently underwent a major revamp and has since introduced several new store outlets, inclusive of a food district complete with 20 food outlets. We sent ambassadors Nina, Sarah and Sharon to suss out what’s new and happening at Ikano Power Centre.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ5MFf3lkuP/
The girls enjoyed the variety of food options available at the newly launched food street at the LG floor of Ikano Power Centre.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BaA2rEeDMHB/

From Korean and Thai to Japanese and Malaysian, there’s bound to be something that you’d fancy here. In fact, ambassador Sharon’s favourite was the Dry Laksa from Laksamana so if you happen to pay the mall a visit, do give this dish a try!
https://www.instagram.com/p/BaGAdcEDW9X
2. SneakerLah Convention
SneakerLah Convention, like its name suggests, is an annual event which is geared towards sneakerheads and skate fans. Our resident sneakerhead, Shannon, dropped by to scout out the upcoming releases from international streetwear brands like Vans, Reebok and Rastaclat.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ_EK_JBZxr/
At the convention, she managed to pay the SneakerLah marketplace a visit, where 50 sneaker-related vendors displayed their collection, all to the soundtrack of cool beats and performances from the likes of Airliftz and Zamaera.
3. Anneh Banana Food Review
Anneh Banana considers themselves the PIGasso of Indian banana leaf and it’s easy to tell why. They offer a porky twist to those who are BOARed of the typical banana leaf rice. Ambassador Sarah went down to Anneh Banana for a porkilicious food review and sampled dishes like Pork Varuval and Devil Rib Curry.

4. Nights Of Fright 5.0
Nights of Fright is an annual haunted house event hosted at Sunway Lagoon. Celebrating their 5th year in Malaysia, we sent ambassadors Yu Yin, Shannon and Sharon to a spooktacular night they won’t forget.

5. The China Bar KL Launch
The China Bar KL is a new watering hole in the heart of Chinatown and it combines a mix of modern and olden day architecture. Focusing on an oriental theme, The China Bar KL is all about their rice paper lanterns and décor. Guests can join in by dressing to the nines in their tuxes and cheongsams.
https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba1C6STFJAQ
Ambassadors Sarah and Nina dropped by and enjoyed some of the drinks from their extensive menu which includes interesting flavours like Pandan Lemongrass vodka and Junglebird spiced rum.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BawJ7j6jztI/
6. Wine Bar Launch @ The Point KL
You can’t possibly go wrong with wine and an elaborate dinner. As ambassador Sarah puts it, the combination of both words is ‘winner’.
She dropped by the recent Wine Bar launch at award-winning restaurant and bar, The Point KL. Coincidentally, she also happened to be one of the first few in Malaysia to experience dining at this new concept bar in KL. At the end of the evening, she managed to sample 7 different wines and champagnes and of course, who could forget—dessert?
https://www.instagram.com/p/BbB-4v3l02u/
October was a fun-filled month for our DiscoverKL ambassadors, with plenty of photo ops and opportunities to dress to the nines. We can’t wait to see what November has in store for our team.
If you’re looking to increase your brand’s awareness and introduce products or services to our fellow Malaysians, feel free to drop us an email at [email protected]. We would love to work with you!
We’re also on the lookout for more ambassadors to join our team, as they discover more fun and exciting adventures in and around KL. If you love eating, socialising, and discovering new places in and around KL, drop us an email at [email protected]!


Popular Food Truck Park TAPAK Officially Opens Its 3rd Outlet In PJ!

TAPAK first opened its doors in Malaysia back in 2016.
Being the first food truck park in Malaysia, TAPAK introduced a brand new concept to Malaysians but this is actually not something that we’re completely unfamiliar with.

We’ve had our fair share of pasar malam visits throughout the years but this experience is elevated with actual spots where you can camp with your chosen grub.

TAPAK is the brainchild of 3 high school friends with a mutual love for street food and it currently has 2 outlets in Jalan Ampang, KL and Taman Greenwood in Batu Caves.

Now, TAPAK introduces its 3rd branch in PJ where it is situated in front of the iconic Amcorp Mall.

Like any food truck park, the food trucks on any given day differs and follows each food truck’s schedule. To find out which food truck will be available on the day of your visit, drop by TAPAK Urban Street Dining’s Facebook page.

Some of the meals you can look forward to at TAPAK are coconut shakes, nasi lemaks, ayam kunyits and more!

The Mac's Review: Popular Mac & Cheese That ALL Subangites Would Queue Up For!

Mention good mac & cheese in Subang and we bet The Mac’s Malaysia’s name might come up more than a couple of times.
It’s simple enough in theory but it has got all of the elements going for it that ultimately makes it desirable:
1. There’s a whole lotta cheese involved.
2. It’s sold in a food truck—who doesn’t love good ol’ food truck fare?

3. It’s comfort food at its finest.
4. Did we mention cheese yet? 😛
We knew that we just had to hunt down the mac and cheese stall by hook or by crook.
And it’s conveniently located just a 10-minute drive away from our office too!

Once we got there, it was unsurprisingly not that hard to locate the stall: all we had to do was follow the crowd.
Tip: You’ll know that you’re close when you smell the heavenly cheese aroma wafting through the air and your stomach growling for some good mac and cheese.
On the menu, you would find mac and cheese, hotdogs and spaghetti but let’s face it, everyone comes here for the indulgent mac and cheese—as did we.
So what exactly makes The Mac’s dishes something that people are actually willing to queue up for?
We decided to answer that question by having the Mac Me Cheese You (RM10) and the Regular Mac & Cheese (RM8).
Mac Me Cheese You (L), Regular Mac & Cheese (R)
Okay, first up: the Regular Mac & Cheese tastes just like KFC cheesy wedges, no kidding! The macaroni to cheese ratio is just perfect, so much so that you’ll finish this dish, remembering the ooey gooey cheese and not the amount of macaroni in it.
For this dish (though it is smaller in size than what we had hoped for), we liked how real cheese is used. We knew because we saw the team melting the cheese onto the macaroni.
Bottom line is, if you’re a big fan of cheese—we totally were—you would enjoy the dish as much as we did.

As for the Mac Me Cheese You, it came with beef bacon bits and 3 sad nachos (we wish there were more, just so we could use it as a spoon to scoop up the mac and cheese with.
One thing’s for sure, the Mac Me Cheese You is a lot less cheesy, but there’s more bite to it. If you enjoy having chewy beef bacon bits in your mac and cheese, you would prefer this dish.

Skip A Night Of Bar Crawlin' & Head Over To This KL Restaurant For Its Christmas Menu

TREC has always been that one place that seems interesting for its rows upon rows of pubs and bars, but also off putting to some for its reputation of wild nights. And let’s not even start on the traffic.
However, recently, we were invited to the Supperclub that is set right in the middle of TREC to test out their Christmas menu. And well, safe to say we were nicely surprised.

We thought we were entering a full-out pub, what with the stools, terrace, the bar, and the stools lined up, along with the low lighting and actual bar music which also strangely sounded like elevator music. But then going deeper into the place, there’s actually a huge dining area, decorated in sleek and minimalist furniture.

Totally fits with the whole TREC vibe.
The restaurant has recently hired a chef from Cannes, and he has cooked up a brand new Christmas menu that does not consist of the typical dishes you might in other restaurants out there.

We were first served with the Amuse bouche as our appetiser, a single bite-sized finger food that is meant to whet our appetites for what’s to come. Amuse bouche is different from the typical appetisers because they are not ordered from the menu and rather, they are served according to the chef’s selection on that particular day.
It just so happened that the chef decided to serve us beef tartare topped with caviar, and mushroom velouté. The mushroom platter was a delight, as it was creamy and not too savoury to eclipse the bits of meat in it. Along with the tender and flavourful beef, they certainly complemented each other well.

Next, we had the Cold Seafood Platter. They claimed that it was a two-person serving, but from the looks of it, it seemed to be able to feed more than than that, or maybe I just have a smaller appetite. There are whelks, oysters, and tiger prawns.
And while I love seafood, oysters have never done it for me, and, well, the ones in this platter did not either. My tongue just wasn’t having it. The prawns, on the other hand, were succulent and juicy, and definitely did not disappoint. Plus, the whelks totally made up for the oysters. Full disclosure, I have never tasted whelks before and I was very wary, but I was pleasantly surprised. The whelks tasted really good with the aioli, but if you ask me, I say that it works on its own as well.
You can be sure about one thing though, and that is that all their seafood is undeniably fresh.

To pace ourselves after that huge seafood platter, they then proceeded to serve us a soup called Veloute Dubarry. It is basically a cauliflower soup with a little twist, where there is poached egg to intensify the creaminess, truffle flakes, and cream of spinach in the mix.
At first sip of the soup, the cauliflower was definitely distinctive, but not so much as to drive people away from it. It melded well with the cream of spinach and the egg. You can also find bits and pieces of duck bacon in the soup, which served as a nice surprise every time you manage to spoon some along with the soup.

For the following course, patrons have to choose from two options: the Atlantic Salmon or the Turkey. Naturally, we got both for each one of us, and I chose the turkey. The turkey is roasted, and served with porcini mushrooms and baby potatoes, drizzled with mushroom sauce. The salmon, on the other hand, is pan seared, drizzled with bearnaise sauce with a side of cream of spinach.
The turkey was pretty tough to cut, and I thought that it probably would be more like chewing bubblegum than anything. But when I put it in my mouth, the texture was soft and it was as juicy as a turkey ought to be. I also really liked the potatoes; they were well cooked and the sauce went well with it.
I also had a taste of the salmon, and it wasn’t disappointing at all. It initially tasted like any other salmon you can find anywhere else, but when eaten with the bearnaise sauce, damn, it is as if heaven had taken up residence in your mouth.

For dessert, we also had two courses. The fact is that their main dessert dish is the Christmas Log, but if patrons feel like it, they can also get the Selection of 4 Cheeses for an additional RM25.
The Christmas Log, instead of ice-cream, is complemented with a small serving of sorbet. And both are entirely dark chocolate, so if you’re lactose intolerant, then you are in luck! However, despite the fact that they’re pure dark chocolate, we could taste something fruity in it for some reason. Maybe it’s the French magic.
The 4 cheeses are Comté, Sainte-Maure de Tourraine, Chaource, and Langres, with the former two being goat cheeses. We were already quite full after the previous courses, so we couldn’t quite get ourselves to finish the cheeses, but they were good nonetheless. Fair warning, though, the goat cheeses can be quite strong, so you should lather them with honey before you consume it.
Overall, the Christmas menu that Supperclub has come up with has been rather satisfactory, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. You can be assured that they are absolutely pork-free, so you don’t have to worry about that.
The Supperclub Christmas menu will only be available on Christmas Eve and Christmas of 2017. So if you’re still looking for a place to have a Christmas dinner, why not get an extraordinary experience at the Supperclub?

Komugi M'sia launched a new cafe in Shah Alam with an extensive menu, here's what we tried

[Written in partnership with Komugi Malaysia, but the editorial team had full control over the content.]
Komugi Malaysia, a homegrown Japanese bakery brand, has launched its third café concept outlet in AEON Shah Alam.
Originally just a small kiosk in the mall, the cafe now occupies a spacious area of more than 2,000 square feet. The store has a clean, minimalistic interior with plenty of seating.

In total, Komugi Malaysia has 12 outlets, but only three are considered cafés, with the others being either grab-and-go delis or bakeries.
Compared to the other concepts, the Komugi café not only offers the dine-in option, but also offers a more extensive menu.

Following the recent launch of the AEON Shah Alam location, we were invited to visit the new cafe and explore that menu ourselves.

Another way to enjoy croissants
Noting Malaysians’ love for crispy products, the bakery has launched several new croissant-type patisseries.
Taking inspiration from the popular Japanese maritozzo, a cream-stuffed sweet brioche bun, Komugi has recreated a croissant version of it.
Called the Croise-Maritozzo, it comes in three filling options—Chocolate, Green Tea, and Wasabi—and is priced at RM9.90-RM10.90.

You read that right. Komugi has created a wasabi sweet cream that will bring a spicy touch to its sweet pastries.
Besides the Croise-Maritozzos, this unique cream will be used in Danish rolls too.
We weren’t able to try the wasabi-flavoured pastry on the week of the launch, but we got to enjoy the Chocolate and Green Tea versions.

Best enjoyed fresh, these pastries are flaky and buttery just like what you’d expect from a croissant, but are denser compared to the French pastry.
Both the Chocolate and Green Tea fillings are on the sweeter side, making this Croise-Maritozzo taste almost akin to a cake.
Refreshed beverage pairings
To go with these new desserts, Komugi has introduced a robust drink menu for its café outlets.
Coffee lovers will be happy to learn that this menu includes espresso beverages made using a single-origin Gayo Mountain Arabica blend that’s sourced through fair-trade certified means.

Featuring nutty notes of dark chocolate, these beans are roasted in a way that gives the coffee an acidic edge. The coffee prices are comparable to that of Family Mart at RM5.90 to RM11.90.
Komugi Malaysia has also rolled out a matcha latte drink (RM12.90 for hot, RM13.90 for iced) made using products from Niko Neko, another homegrown brand and a purveyor of quality matcha.

Swerving into more dessert options
Komugi Malaysia is now also offering soft serve, or Swerve, as they call it. Exclusively available in AEON Shah Alam, this icy treat comes in two flavours—vanilla and chocolate.
Not only are the Swerves available in cups, but they can also be ordered in croissants. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to try these during our visit.
What we did get to try, though, were the RM4.90 Nama Castellas. Made up of sponge cake, these chilly cream pastries come in a bite-sized cup.

The three flavours for the cream fillings are Cheese, Choco, and Matcha.
Moist, airy, and velvety, the sponge cake melts into your mouth along with the filling.
The classic cheese flavour is similar to a cheesecake, while the rich choco one is reminiscent of a chocolate eclair.
Our favourite was the matcha though. Its slight bitter aftertaste cuts through the creaminess of this dessert, making it a well-balanced bite.

Frozen treats to bring home
After the event, the Komugi Malaysia team kindly sent over more items from its newly extended line of signature chilled pastries.
Exclusively available in AEON, these new frozen items include Hanjuku Cheese Original, Hanjuku Cheese Coco, and Macaron Strawberry.
Looking up the term “hanjuku”, we found that it means half-baked, so the Hanjuku Cheese line refers to half-baked cheesecakes. They can be bought in a box of six for RM27.60.

Portioned into small but satisfying bites, these cheesecakes are creamy with a souffle-like texture. The Hanjuku Cheese Original was incredibly moist and light, making for a great melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
The Hanjuku Cheese Coco is slightly denser than the original one, but will be a hit for those who like a rich and milky cocoa flavour.

With crunchy meringue and jammy ganache filling, the Macaron Strawberry (RM4.90) would be ideal for sweet tooths.
These goodies are able to last longer in the freezer, making them perfect for those who want to stock up for a party or just enjoy some desserts later on without the hassle of going out again.
More to come
With all Komugi products being halal certified, this new AEON Shah Alam space makes for a great hangout spot for all residents in the area.
Other than the new roll-outs highlighted above, there are plenty of classic savoury dishes to enjoy at Komugi’s café. Fresh sandwiches are available too, with options such as Tuna Croissant, Chickin Sliced French Toast, Egg Mayo Sandwich, and so much more.

Aside from those savoury bites, we’re definitely looking forward to being able to try the Wasabi sweet cream soon.

This RM4 Drink Is Being Sold In 7 Different Countries—We Analyse Its Global Appeal

To be able to break the global F&B market, a brand requires appeal and of course—it goes without saying—taste.
When we first learnt that Hausboom is being sold in countries like Dubai, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand and Japan, we were a little doubtful and naturally so. As Malaysians, we’ve hardly even heard of it.

With a name like Hausboom though, we can see how the brand’s moniker plays out nicely for them. Locally, the term Haus translates to Thirst and it’s apt, considering how the RM3.90 drink is meant to be a refreshing thirst quencher. Haus is also the German word for House, making it a drink that’ll gain appeal in the European market—a region that the team is aiming to break into.

In fact, the saying “What’s in a name?” was a question of importance to the Hausboom team. They told DiscoverKL that the process of finding the right name for their product was a laborious one.
“We needed to be sure that there’re no negative connotations for the name but it has to have high distinct characteristics, is globally accepted and not just for the home-field advantage. An attitude and usage study was done to determine the simplest of pronunciation for the brand name, but at the same time, still retains local identity. The name Hausboom scored perfectly across all nations with low resentment.”

These sparkling fruit juices come in 275ml-sized glass bottles and in 6 different flavours: Lychee, Mango, Guava, Strawberry, Lemonade and Blackcurrant.
Interestingly, the team mentioned in an interview that Lychee, Mango and Guava are created for Malaysian tastebuds whereas Strawberry, Lemonade and Blackcurrant are for their international audience.
“We did a series of market tests and surveys as well as based it on our experience when traveling the world. Our findings confirmed that the Lychee, Mango and Guava flavours are not just suited to Malaysian tastebuds, but also Asians at large. On the other hand, Strawberry, Lemonade and Blackcurrant flavours are known to be the safest choice for the foreign market,” the team relayed.
It’s clear from the get-go that Hausboom wasn’t just going to settle for the Malaysian audience, therefore creating beverages that’ll tailor to the global market as well.

Being sparkling fruit juices, they’ve also placed themselves in a good position to reach a wider audience. Those who are trying to wean off soft drinks might find Hausboom’s concept interesting. The drinks has got the fizz which is present in fruit-flavoured sodas—but they are not.
Hausboom is also non-alcoholic and with this, is able to find a spot in the fridges of the young’uns and those who prefer not to take alcohol.

With that being said, we all know how taste is king. A drink will not be able to brave the weather in a foreign land if its taste sucks. We cracked open all 6 and gave it a go.
Upon giving each flavour a quick taste test, our team quickly found a favourite: the Guava. It wasn’t particularly sweet and reminded us of fresh pink guava juice, minus any pulp. The Mango unfortunately tasted a tad bit artificial for our liking. Oddly enough, it reminded us of the taste of gummy bears and brought us on a trip down memory lane.
As for the Strawberry, its taste reminded us of a Strawberry Fanta, but of course with the added benefits of not being a soft drink. The Blackcurrant drink had a prominent sour taste, resembling a real blackcurrant. This drink was definitely leaning towards being more sour than sweet.
The Lemonade was not very fruity but it was definitely one of the drinks with the most intense sour flavours. If you’re not one for sweet drinks, you’ll likely enjoy the Lemonade.
If you’ve ever tried a packet of Lychee drink during the festive seasons, the Lychee will take you right back. It’s interesting how much the Lychee drink resembled the actual fruit.

Hausboom is a beverage I’d consider having alongside a hearty meal (in fact, my colleague pairs it with her lunch most days). The fact that it’s sparkling and fizzy, makes it taste somewhat like a soft drink too.
With the booming soda industry, not just in Malaysia, but around the world, Hausboom has a good chance of penetrating that market with a drink that is better for you. Their ultimate aim after all is to provide a range of fusion drinks for locals to explore new flavours, and ultimately concocting their own version of a mocktail.
Since commercialising Hausboom, the brand has sold close to 2 million bottles and their future plans would be to venture into United Kingdom, China, France and Berlin. “As of this juncture, we have interested parties from Maldives, Mauritius and Australia too,” the team said.

According to The Star, Harith will be joined by 4 other finalists including Alex Calleja from the Philippines, Mino Van Nassau from India, David Kilimnick from Israel, and Katerina Vrana from Greece.
The competition, organised by Laugh Factory, is based on 100% online voting and the grand finals will be held in Helsinki, Finland.

The winner will be announced during the closing gala of the competition on December 10. The winner of “The Funniest Person in the World” will receive a grand prize of USD$100,000 (RM444,845), as well as the title of the funniest person in the world.

S'pore Music & Food Powerhouse Timbre Brings The Music To KL

In the wake of our ‘Best Places For Live Music In KL’ article, Timbre KL deserves a mention all for their own. This iconic Singaporean food and music institution has opened a branch right here in Jalan Doraisamy, KL, so we don’t have to travel far to be entertained at our meals!
Popular as a live music restaurant across the Causeway, Timbre is gearing up to have a similar reputation here too, and to be a place where people can drop by when they want to have a good meal with some good live music in the background.

Not only have they just opened their doors a few months back, they’ve also introduced a cool new monthly music series called Malaysian Originals, that will be happening on the last Wednesday of every month. Through their Malaysian Originals shows, Timbre seeks to give recognition to talented, Malaysian musicians that produce awesome original tunes.
This month, brilliant songstress Rozella will be showering you with her soulful electronic beats on the 24th of August. Hailing from mysterious Borneo, Rozella uses her music and lyrics to tell stories that are close to her heart. And seeing as her songs have charted on both the Malaysian English Top 10 and the Borneo English Top 10, her work definitely seems to be resonating with her fans!

Besides also being a 2016 VIMA Music Awards nominee, Rozella’s songs have garnered quite a lot of attention online and in our local music scene. Her hit ‘Dark Side’ has gotten over 5000 plays since its release just three months ago, and has been on rotation on the radio airwaves as well.
So if you don’t have any plans at 8pm on the 24th, drop by Timbre KL to hear Rozella perform and get some good grub for dinner too! Admission is free with purchase of a drink.

I Lined Up At Every Long Queue At Artbox, Here's What's Really Worth Getting

Let’s be real. The one thing KL-ites probably remembered from last weekend’s Artbox event was its hideous yet unavoidable queues.
Being the first Artbox experience in Malaysia, it made sense that everyone would swarm to the event—us included.
Mind you, the long queues started even before we managed to step foot inside the event space.
And needless to say, there were long queues for quite a fair bit of stalls as well (particularly the food ones). To see what the fuss is all about, we waited in line at all the longest queues in Artbox just to see if it really was worth the time.

These were the 11 stalls we waited in line for:
1. Ticklish Ribs & ‘Wiches

The Dish: BBQ Pork Ribs
The Damage: RM20
Ticklish Ribs & ‘Wiches (like its name suggests) sells pork ribs and BBQ chicken wings. Despite its monstrously long queue, the service was relatively fast (but this also depends on how much meat they have grilled on standby). The cool factor is that you get to watch them grill the ribs right in front of you.

Of course, it’s only cool if you’re planning to Insta-story it. If you’re not, it’s just going to be warm and frankly, uncomfortable. The ribs had a slightly spicy kick to it and the meat was quite soft. I’d say it’s a pretty satisfying dish and we’d give it a 6/10 for value.
2. Sawa Tea Cup

The Dish: Original and Jasmine Tea
The Damage: RM12 for 2 cups
It’s pretty obvious that the vendors selling cold drinks enjoyed pretty steady sales throughout the weekend (the dire heat could be a reason why). One such stall was Sawa Tea Cup (plus points for a cool name). The service was incredibly fast so you don’t end up waiting for too long. That’s because they’re basically pouring the drink out of massive containers. There were 3 flavours: Original, Green, Rozen.

We went with the Original and mysterious green drink we initially thought was matcha. Upon tasting it, the consensus is that it’s a floral Jasmine-flavoured drink. Though the cups were small, we’d say it’s pretty value for money. The drinks were milkier and sweeter as compared to the store next door (Dum Dum). Our only complaint would be the fact that there’s too much ice.
3. DumDum Authentic Thai Tea
Image Credit: Eat Bite Snap
The Dish: Authentic Thai Tea
The Damage: RM7.9
The brewing, stirring and making of the drink was done on the spot. As such, it took a pretty long time for us to get our drink (the Authentic Thai Tea).

We queued up for roughly 15 minutes and after paying, we waited an additional 5-10 minutes to pick up the drink. We’d say it’s value for money based on its quantity (it felt like a larger cup as compared to Sawa Tea Cup’s). Still, if you’re craving for some good Thai milk tea, we’d recommend Sawa Tea Cup.
4. PP Happy Cheese

The Dish: Cheese Coated In Deep-Fried Batter
The Damage: RM10
We got the cheese coated in deep-fried batter. It tastes a little like pizza (perhaps due to the mozarella) and has a bit of tomato in it too. Cheese lovers would enjoy this for the crunchy exterior. In fact, it tastes similar to the coating of deep fried ice cream.

It’s pretty pricey considering the size but you get to watch it being deep fried right in front of you. Although the line is long, it moves pretty fast. There are also super cute baos and rainbow cheese toasts being sold at this stall. Unfortunately, they were already sold out by the time we got there.
5. Shih Lin Mushroom

The Dish: Grilled Mushrooms
The Damage: RM10 for grilled mushrooms with 2 toppings (Original & Seaweed flavours)
Despite the long queue, the staff were pretty organised and they were grilling and cutting the mushrooms continuously. In fact, the only part of the process which was slower was when the toppings were added.

The grilled mushrooms were juicy and they were a big relief after all the oily, super decadent, deep-fried foods we’ve enjoyed earlier. The mushrooms were tender and chewy with a bit of an umami kick from the toppings.
6. Yam Master Enterprise (look for the banner with the Ultraman logo)

The Dish: Fish Skin, Chicken, Sotong
The Damage: RM15 for each flavour (we got 3)
Even from a distance, you’d likely be able to smell the intoxicating aroma of salted egg yolk wafting through the air. We picked up fried fish skin, chicken and sotong at this stall. The salted egg yolk flavour was nice and enjoyable. However, it’s actually a pretty simple recipe as compared to the salted egg yolk sauces that we’re already accustomed to.

The flavours worked well with the chicken (which also has cheese in it) and sotong, as the juicy meat helped to absorb the flavours well. The fish skin unfortunately paled in comparison.
7. Juicy Baby

The Dish: Passion Unicorn
The Damage: RM10 (additional RM2 for the bottle)
The attraction of Juicy Baby’s drinks are the pretty neon colours (courtesy of the butterfly pea flower). The drinks are mixed as you order them and there’s a fair bit of ice in each drink but it doesn’t taste diluted.

The drink wasn’t very sour and had a nice balance of sweetness to fruitiness. It’s made out of butterfly pea flower, key lime and passionfruit. We’d suggest doing away with the bottle unless you’re planning to ‘gram it.
8. The Baking Trip

The Dish: Bubbletea Bundt Cake
The Damage: RM10
All of the desserts are already prepared, so despite the long queue, it was fast moving. It’s visually stunning but we were disappointed by the dry texture of the cake.

The frosting was light and does not have much taste to it. The pearls were tasteless and over-boiled (a big sin for bubble tea fans). It’s actually quite hard to finish this and that’s considering how it’s a pretty small cake to start with.
9. Nachoslah

The Dish: Cheesy Beef Nachos
The Damage: RM20
We waited in line 20-30 minutes just to receive a sad box of cheesy nachos. It was downright disappointing as the nachos that were used tasted like plain ol’ Dorito’s chips.

They were generous with the cheese, sure, but I got fairly little pulled beef. Overall, it was mediocre at best. It’s definitely not worth RM20. But we’d give it a 7/10 for entertainment as the pulled beef was flambéd right in front of us.
10. Singapore Laksa By PGFN

The Dish: Singapore Laksa
The Damage: RM10
The noodles were surprisingly good and the laksa broth itself was very thick and aromatic. It was worth waiting 20 minutes for and dare I say, it’s pretty good laksa for a Singaporean.

The slices of tofu used were also considerably huge and it was a pretty filling dish overall.
11. Black Tea Stinky Tofu

The Dish: Black Tea Stinky Tofu
The Damage: RM13
The tofu was surprisingly amazing and we only waited roughly 10 minutes to purchase this. It was fried to perfection and had a crispy exterior and a soft and fluffy middle. The “stinky sauce” used was also pretty flavourful.

8 tofus for RM13, though? Definitely not worth the price, especially considering the fact that you can easily get this dish elsewhere for a fraction of the price.
In total, we spent RM167.9 at 11 stalls. That’s 3 mains, 7 sweet and savoury snacks and 4 drinks. We’d say it’s a pretty decent price tag for the amount of food we enjoyed.
But if you’re planning to head to Artbox this upcoming weekend, we’d recommend Sawa Tea Cup, PP Happy Cheese and Singapore Laksa. Because all the other highly popular stalls you see? They’re simply not worth waiting in line for and you’re better off checking out hidden gems like Kohi Yatta and its classic burnt cheesecake.
