DC Comics Super Heroes – Pavilion Kuala Lumpur:
School’s Out, Adventure’s In – 27th May – 12 June 2011!

I’m staying at the JW Marriot Hotel KL since last Friday til this coming Mon. So Pavilion is literally a stone’s throw away. Brunch today was at Tonkatsu (review later ) & I foresee a lot of Pavilion – visiting over this weekend!

Anyhow, there was a commotion going on as I walked in to Pavilion. Curious, I followed the booming sounds & saw this.

A DC Comics Super Heroes exhibition from now til 12th of June 2011 cos of the school holidays!

I took a quick pic and tweeted it for fun.

And the replies on twitter surprised me. Wow, there’s quite a number of comic fans out there. So many enquired about the time, where, the duration of this exhibition & etc.
So here’s is it. All the info you may need.

Live shows daily at 1pm & 5pm on weekends, while weekdays it’s 3pm & 7pm.
I watched the show for while just now & it is pretty realistic with actual actors dressed in action figures costumes! (Sorry was so engrossed I didn’t take any pics, that’s how entertaining it was ;p)

After the initial euphoria of discovering a new dessert outlet last week (WASABI macaron, Red Velvet & Durian Cake HERE!) , I couldn’t wait to make my way back for more; especially since I was informed that their Tiramisu kick-ass & they have some new variaties such as the carrot cake which was just launched this week.

The opportunity to swing by again presented itself soon enough; after a particularly long harried day & the need for some comforting sweets just couldn’t be ignored any longer.

Unlike most cafes on this street which are bustling with human traffic & conversation; The Hummingbirds Coffee Bar is laid-back with very comfortable & pretty chairs (I love those chairs! ) & most importantly; quiet.
Stepping in, I relaxed immediately, proceeded to drop my heavy bags at my favourite corner & strutted my way to the cakes display counter for my sugar fix.

Has anyone heard of HiShop.my? Yes? No?

Watch this video, and tell me if you’ve been harried before?

Yes? Of course YES! KL traffic is notorious (or most states in Malaysia anyways).

So here’s an online site that aims to take that stress away.

Be apart of a CLUB that allows you exclusive access to private sales of anything from bags to clothes to watches. “Exclusive” & “private” cos it is only accessible if you are a member & “exclusive” also cos they’ve got high-end brands like Calvin Klein, Tissot, Lotte Edwards and many more at up to 80% discounts!

The elegant & stately decor of West Lake Garden, Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa greeted me as I entered the restaurant from the lobby.

Relaxing immediately from the after- work rush hour, I soothed my eyes on the pretty eye piece & breathed in the sweet-smelling scent in the air that is distinctive to this hotel.

West Lake Garden Chinese Restaurant exudes modern oriental opulence. I was captivated with the traditional furnishings; the chests, the panels & the paintings on the walls.

But nothing prepared me for the sight of this.

UPDATE: 2nd round – HERE –> Carrot Cake, Charcoal Cake & Tiramisu!

The hunt for the best Red Velvet remained on-going.
I must have tried every Red Velvet I’ve seen/came across in KL. Some I have blogged about, some I haven’t (Sigh…yes yes… my backlogs are piling up) but I promise I will ermmm…eventually finish posting all of them.

But for now let’s just focus on the ones worthy of mention shall we?
The best (IMHO) was the one at A Taste Boutique , but their boutique is kinda far (in Putra Heights) & their kiosk at Sunway Pyramid doesn’t carry the Red Velvet cake most of the time. Also, it’s been a while since I eaten theirs, so I’m not sure if it still taste the same. Anyhow, it was SO GOOD that it had left a lasting impression on me.

For me, a good Red Velvet is a combination of luxuriant flavour from the sponge & perfect smooth light cream cheese frosting. The one at A Taste Boutique was a fair example of a Red Velvet that I like, followed closely by another that’s baked by a friend FBB; and you can try it at The Bee, Jaya One since he supplies the cake there.

Today, I’m pleased that I have finally found another Red Velvet cake worth blogging about. At the most unlikely places really; right here on Telawi 3, Bangsar, in a designer’s boutique!

Hummingbirds Coffee Bar shares the same space with Beatrice Looi Boutique; and exudes a most charming vibe with special made to order blue high-back comfy chairs (love those chairs, so pretty! ) & an impressive list of coffee from Germany. There were even some funky drinks like Cucumber Oh La la that is alcoholic @ RM25+, (how does one mix cucumber with alcohol is beyond me) & a very good selection of tea. This “cafe” is just perfect for that afternoon tête-à-tête with a BFF.

I was given the opportunity to do something wackybecky during the launch & I thought, why not?? Heheh..

Check the video out. It looked pretty simply, but the outfit was pretty restrictive, so I couldn’t really jump that high. WOuld have love to make an impact by HURLING myself towards the velcro wall (wahahahaahhah) but I couldn’t get enough momentum.

Also, for photography sake, they wanted me to stick to the velcro wall with my face facing the front. Hence I could only fling myself at the wall at the last point. All in all, it’s still pretty wacky anyways. 😉 .

So what was this launch all about?
It’s the launch of the new Nestle Drumstick; ALMOND THRILL. This is a new fun flavor that’s to join Nestle’s famous Drumstick® family which consists of; “Vanilla’s Got Nuts”, “Chocolate Blast” and “Saucy Strawberry” as well as “Kit Kat®”.
The new flavor, deemed as the “Almond Thrill” promise to offer more crunch in every bite!

Day 7 Victoria, Australia – Annual Sand Sculpting Australia Exhibition at Frankston Waterfront #BeckyinOzzie

Here’s my Travel Tuesday post for this week. Very apt timing for me to post on this as I was just back from my Sandsculpting competition trip to Cherating last week – (Post HERE ). Click & see if you haven’t! I sculpted a tarantula!

When I was in Frankston, Victoria, I stared at these sculptures in awe & wondered how is it possible to crave such marvels of sand.

Hence while I was sweating buckets under the sun sculpting my little masterpiece with my team at Holiday Villa Cherating, I realized sand sculpting is serious business.

As you can see, our tarantula was nothing like the ones I saw in the Annual Sand Sculpting Australia Exhibition at Frankston Waterfront, Victoria! LOL!
