In a night reminiscent of the roaring and audacious 1920s, ABSOLUT ELYX was launched to Kuala Lumpur’s elite at View Rooftop Bar, nestled at the top of GTower.

I for one, being my usual lazy self, put on a black dress, went over to Burger Junkyard at The Strand and wolfed down 2 burgers before arriving at the launch totally underdressed.

Fortunately, accessories of the 1920s were provided! I added a nice pin to my hair and wrapped a feather boa over myself for an instant 20s’ glam. 🙂

A month more to go for Christmas peeps!
In need of any ideas of where to dine, what to buy and how much to budget? I will be sharing some Xmas gifts ideas over the next few weeks; starting with some blings today, since I was recently invited to the PANDORA’s Christmas collection tea party. 🙂

Any girl would love to have this on their wrists I’m sure. I know I would.

In general I love all Chilean wines.
I find them easy to drink and pricing-wise; decently affordable.

At a recent wine tasting dinner I was introduced to Koyle, a Chilean wine that is currently exported to 40 countries, affordable yet grown for quality rather than quantity.

Every year in October I religiously did my rounds for almost all of the restaurants that participated in the MIGF . 2012 marked my 3rd year, and in preparation I have doubled my gym and runs sessions to accommodate the additional calories as I eat my way through some creatively crafted menus by some of the top chefs in the country! 🙂

Malaysia International Gourmet Festival marks 30 days of ~~gluttony~~ gourmet pursuits, starting 1st to 30th October where chefs of selected restaurants from hotels or stand-alone establishments craft their best menus to best showcase their culinary skills.

Chef Justin Quek’s Xiao Long Bao is somewhat of a legend. Luxuriant is not a doubt, since his comes finely minced with added foie gras and truffle within its delicate folds.

This rather fortunate dining opportunity came thanks to Marina Bay Sands, where at the end of May I spent a lovely weekend in its Tower 3 hotel and had the amazing opportunity to interview and set foot in the kitchens of the Celebrity chefs restaurants such as Waku Ghin, Guy Savoy and db Moderne Bistro.

I was even more fortunate to find out that Chef Justin himself was in the restaurant during our lunch. Being a busy man with restaurants in Taipei and Shanghai, he is known to be on the fly most of the time and the group of us were very lucky to catch him that day.
