SP Setia latest development, aptly named “Eco” Setia Cascadia has an alluring enough tagline to capture my attention, which says a lot really, considering the fact that I’m pretty oblivious to most property development news.
“Living in Nature’s Miracle” it says.
What does that mean?
Well, does the picture below gives you an idea?
So have you check out the new Samsung interactive and fun microsite “I LOVE SAMSUNG GALAXY SII” that I posted about last week? Yes ? No?

Equatorial Hotel Kuala Lumpur will be hosting an “Exquisitely Swiss” promotion in conjunction with Malaysia International Gourmet Food Festival (MIGF) 2011 from 1 – 31 October 2011 in Chalet, one of their 6 fine dining restaurants.
The whole event aims to create awareness on the uniqueness of Swiss food, beverage, culture and music. For the whole month of October 2011, an invited Guest Chef; Chef Fritz Tschantre from Switzerland is here to woo diners with his signature dishes.
I was invited for a preview dinner just last week, and had the honour of having my FIRST MIGF dinner for 2011.

I’m a self-confessed bread-whore. I eat bread everyday, at times half a loaf at one go (if not more) and I buy breads in bulk. My fridge has a minimum of 3 different types of breads at any one time (just so I can eat whichever one when the mood hits) and I’m always on the look-out for new bakeries/cafes/hotels that sells healthy, artisan breads.
I don’t eat Gardenia (unless it’s from Singapore – check out the Gardenia from Singapore HERE!) /High Five or breads from Bread Story/Bread History etc.
Those are empty fluffs, full of sugar & empty calories.
So yeah, in conclusion I’m a high-class bread eater.
I find Levain Boulangerie decent enough (post HERE & HERE) for variety & ambiance but not for the artisan, high grain breads that I’m seeking for.
Well, the good news is I have found a few really worthy of recommendation bakeries recently, and will be sharing them on my blog, one after another.
I’m starting off with Craft Bakers, a very traditional European type bakery and cafe, but unfortunately with a very annoyingly hard to find location.
Anyhow, location hardly deters hardcore bread-whores like me. After 40 minutes, I managed to figure out where to park in that new Publika building (Solaris Dutamas & the Publika area is a maze) & thankfully found the cafe soon enough before my mood worsen.
I’m seldom impressed with mobiles phones nowadays.. too many models launched too fast, all of almost the same build and look, and none that can rightfully boasts of having overall outstanding features in one device.
The Samsung Galaxy SII is the closest so far to perfection (for me at least). Not just in terms of hardware, which was durable, slim and light but it also came bundled with the Android OS, which is user-friendly and very well integrated with Google. Now who doesn’t use Google?
I loved the phone; and I have professed my love for it in my review (<< HERE >> ).
So are you a fan of Samsung Galaxy SII like me? If you are, (or even if you’re not!) this site is worth checking out!
I’m missing Australia terribly.
Like I said, it’s been a while since I have been out of the country. I wish I could just drop everything now & hop onto the next plane to somewhere bizarre & foreign.
And then proceed to do something bizarre & foreign! Perhaps something along the lines of eating exotic animals/plants, fly a plane, jump off a cliff?
I don’t know. You tell me!
Thinking back, one of the more bizarre activity I had experienced when I was in Aussie was the Shark Walk at the Melbourne Aquarium. It was an exhilarating & tremendously heady feeling, walking on the “ocean” floor, with sharks, sting rays & turtle gracefully gliding past you within inches from your body!
Festival Chef: Chef Valmurugan Subramaniam
My comments: I have heard good things about Samplings on the Fourteen, and one of their USP is that Samplings is a restaurant that gives elegant dine in experience, and it is run by students during day time as a practical site for Berjaya Universiti.
However, the restaurant is open for patrons for dinner and Chef Valmurugan is the Sous Chef handling this new starlet restaurant.
I see Cloudy Bay on the menu; my favourite wine & both the mains of Roasted Australian Pistachio Crusted Baby Veal Rack & Cajun Spiced Black Cod seems worthy of a try.
