Bratpack Spring/Summer 2013 Collection – Never Blend. Always Bond.

Has it been that long that I had my Sanuk? I checked back on my post of the launch of their concept store in eCurve which was when I came home with a pair of simple, black Sanuk. I have been wearing it ever since and yes, these are comfortable alright!

Light and durable;that’s my verdict after a year and a half (March 2012 til now July 2013). It was like wearing layers of yoga mats put together, a bit spongy but so pleasant to walk around with, even for hours when I was shopping in Bangkok. It was a worthy replacement of my fabulous Crocs!

My Sanuk. A bit frayed here and there but still holding up to the abuse I put it through. 🙂

Casa del Rio Melaka launched the “Peranakan Tingkat Set Lunch” – RM28++

Casa del Rio Melaka launched the Peranakan Tingkat Set Lunch with full fanfare recently, complete with local celebrity Baba Kenny, Miss Kebaya finalists and of course, the main star Chef Baba William himself.
I had a prelude of his Peranakan delicacies few weeks back when I was in Melaka for a weekend stay and I was thrilled to return again for more.

I have a Hot Desk at The Nomad Offices @ Mont Kiara!

As some of you may know, I call myself thenomadGourmand. A nomad describes a person that is wanderlust, traveling, never at one place for a fixed period or for a long duration. I’m a “nomadGourmand” cos I travel to seek for good food and to experience extraordinary cuisines.

The Nomad Offices. How does that work?

The same principle applies. It refers to having an office for the traveling entrepreneur, businessman. A virtual office gives you a professional address, receptionist, business centre and meeting facilities without the costs of a permanent office, making it suitable for home-based businesses, freelancers, international offices wanting to establish a local presence, and start-ups.

Afternoon Tea & Valrhona Chocolate Buffet @Thirty8, Grand Hyatt KL

3 tiered cakes stands and warm scones plus a pot of tea gets boring after a while. There’s frankly nothing much to differentiate each high-tea offering from the others in the Klang Valley. Dry scones, insipid sandwiches and pieces of limp pastries. I think my tea of crispy fried bananas satisfies better and cost me way less too.

And thus Chef Brett Muller and his team at Thirty8, Grand Hyatt KL, decided to jazz things up a bit.

Buka puasa & Ramadan Buffet @ Dorsett Grand Subang

The Dorsett Grand Subang Hotel was the very first (I think) in the Klang Valley to host their ramadan buffet preview. And due to the early period the spread was really small and thus my review would be as short as the preview! 🙂

To start things off, the usual Malay raw salads and assorted sambals were present. In addition to that, there were bread based pizzas (which was deadly spicy!) and assorted appetisers.
