Launch of YES 4G by YTL Communications – Rates, Devices & ..

A lot was said about the 4G standard, with some die-hard techies pushing to make their point heard about YTL Comms being misleading and misusing the 4G moniker.

I’m not going into that; for as a consumer, I seriously don’t give a s**t what they call it. Give me SPEEDY, ZIPPY & RELIABLE connection & I’m happy. Even better if all of that comes with reasonable rates.

The rates were finally revealed yesterday. Just as mentioned in the soft launch HERE , there is no plan, no monthly commitments. YES is SIM-less & it is Pay-As-You-Use.

Classy Champagne Sundays at Shook! Starhill Gallery, Bukit Bintang

Weekend brunches are a luxury to most of us. What more if it is a champagne brunch! Myself haven’t been to many, and was most fortunate to be on the invite list for the launch of the newest champagne brunch on the block just last Sunday.

Sundays at Shook! in Starhill Gallery, Bukit Bintang are now sparkled up with a touch of sophistication. The champagne of choice here is the superb Piper Heidsieck, which was awarded 91 points by Wine Spectator. For wine lovers, Cloudy Bay; one of  the best known “new world” wines will be served.

Starbucks Malaysia – More food choices on its new menu!

Starbucks has got new food options on its menu! :yahoo:

I’m not fond of chain- cafes food; but most unfortunately, more often than not, (*frown*) I find myself in Starbucks for business meetings too many times a week for my liking.

Yet we can’t deny that Starbucks is an ideal meeting point. Easily recognisable, available everywhere & most importantly, there is FREE WIFI provided for convenient browsing.

Coincidentally, the Christmas season is upon us, and hence the Christmas Toffee Nut Latte and Peppermint Mocha made their appearances again. Overall feedback on the Toffee Nut Latte was “too sweet” while the the Peppermint Mocha was highly recommended from those who have tried it. Myself sipped the Mango Passion for the 1st time & immediately got hooked as it was not too sweet or sour. Very refreshing  & easy to drink.

Islamic Fashion Festival XI (IFF) 2010 – Discovery the Beauty of Modesty

I was honoured to be present at the Gala Night of Islamic Fashion Festival 2010 yesterday night at the JW Marriot Hotel, KL.

Note: All pics taken with the Sony NEX 3.

IFF 2010 - Kuala lumpur-2

Opulence, lavish & dazzling are the keywords to describe the fashion & this matches the ballroom set up of JW Marriot that night. My eyes were nearly blinded as I feasted them on my surroundings as well as the outfits of the Datins, Sultanahs, Datos (females) & Pn Sris that night!

Nyonya Mee Rebus/Mee Goreng at Restaurant Kwai Sun , Subang SS15

Apparently this lady has been around for a long long while. So much so that the parents of friends, uncle + aunties of fellow foodies & friends of friends (whew!) can attest to her slurpilicious noodles and swears by her superb one- of- its- kind gravy.

Kwai Sun - mamak mee

There’s even a juicy history that comes with the business, of which I will gladly share with you one day over a plate of …what else ? Nyonya mee rebus! 😉

A regular sized portion like the below minus any trimmings (cuttlefish, etc) is RM4.00. I wouldn’t say it’s dirt cheap, since it doesn’t come with ANY form of meat at all, but I opined that it is worth the $ once you take into consideration the laborious process required to produce the gravy.
