Explore Space with Miles From Tomorrowland

How was your weekend, folks? Mine was pretty hectic but fun. My husband, my son and I spent our Saturday in Petrosains, The Discovery Centre for   the preview of Miles from Tomorrowland by Disney Junior.

It was a very kiddy  event as parents and kids got to enjoy the screening while sitting on fluffy beanbags. We were treated to 4 exciting episodes of Miles from Tomorrowland.

This brand new program is ideally for kids aged 2-7 and it incorporates unique space and science facts.

This ‘Superstellar’, intergalactic adventure charts the outer space missions of young adventurer Miles Callisto and his family – mom and ship captain, Phoebe mechanical engineer dad, Leo; tech-savvy big sister, Loretta; and robo-ostrich pet, Merc – as they help connect the universe on behalf of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority. 

Each of this episodes features two 11-minute action-packed stories as Miles, Merc and the Callisto family explore wondrous and diverse new worlds, taking young viewers and their families on a futuristic journey that fuels kids’ natural interest in space, and at the same time reminding them of the importance of what lies close to home – the family bond.

This interesting cartoon series was created and executive-produced by Sascha Paladino who has been the story editor and consulting producer for Disney Junior’s “Henry Hugglemonster”; the head writer and producer for Nickelodeon’s “Ni Hao, Kai-Lan”; as well as writer for “Doc McStuffins”, “Team Umizoomi”, “Wonder Pets”, “Winx Club”, “Tickety Toc”, “Blue’s Clues” and ” Sid the Science Kid”

Parents and kids have to just visit the website – Disneyjunior.asia – and download the Miles from Tomorrowland Space Adventurer E-kit which not only features fun activity sheets but also a step by step guide on how to create the Starjetter. 

The most creative photo entries of the Starjetter submitted will win the title of “Disney Junior’s Space Adventurers” and be featured on the channel.

Celebrating Summer Festival with Chibi Maruko at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

Have you ever been to Japan? It’s a country rich with cultural diversity and exciting things. I haven’t had the opportunity to visit Japan but I’ve been given the opportunity have a little glimpse on what’s it’s like to be in Japan during summer.

There’s this vibrant Japanese summer festival going on in Pavilion KL in conjunction of their Tokyo Street 4th anniversary.

I was there during their 4th Anniversary Celebration of Tokyo Street in Pavilion KL and I’m pleased to say everything is very cheerful and upbeat.

Chibi Maruko-chan, a renowned anime and manga character will be making an appearance throughout the summer festival in Pavilion KL. So if you’re a fan, you might want to hop over there and have a selfie or two with Chibi Maruko.

Fancy Japanese lanterns with summer theme can be seen everywhere in Pavilion.

Men in Yukata. Yukata is a Japanese garment, or rather a casual summer kimono usually made of cotton or synthetic fabric, and unlined. Yukata are worn by both men and women. Like other forms of traditional Japanese clothing, Yukata are made with straight seams and wide sleeves.

Ladies of all ages in Yukata. Yukata literally means bathing clothes, although their use is not limited to after-bath wear. Yukata are a common sight in Japan during the hot summer months. Lovely, aren’t they? Traditionally Yukata were mostly made of indigo-dyed cotton but today a wide variety of colours and designs are available. As with kimono, the general rule with Yukata is that younger people wear bright, vivid colours and bold patterns, while older people wear dark, matured colours and dull patterns. A child may wear a multicoloured print and a young woman may wear a floral print, while an older woman would confine herself to a traditional dark blue with geometric patterns. Men in general may wear solid dark colors.

Celebrating the vibrancy of summer in Pavilion KL

Preparing for the Japanese Summer dance.

Patrons of Pavilion Kuala Lumpur were invited to dance along during the ‘Summer Dance Performance’ also deemed as the ‘Happy Dance’ by the Japanese. It was a colourful sight as shoppers were seen doing the ‘Happy Dance’ alongside dancers who were dressed in intricately designed Yukatas. Shoppers and guests were also seen immersing themselves in the Matsuri Summer Fair at the Bukit Bintang entrance that had game booths featuring Japanese stacking, ring toss, boxing and a hammer game.

For more summer fun, you might want to visit Tokyo Street for first in Malaysia ‘Chibi Maruko Chan Land’ where Japanese games such as – wanage, superball fishing and yoyo fishing are available

Nong & Jimmy Seafood Restaurant

Love seafood? Seafood dining in restaurants can be rather astronomical but here’s one place you can enjoy delicious seafood without burning a huge hole in the pocket.

Nong&Jimmy, Seafood Restaurant.

Pricing is pretty transparent and the current market price per gram of seafood is displayed at the whiteboard for customers’ reference.

Seafood produce are fresh from the sea and the amount is rather limited, so I would advice you to be quick to grab your choice of seafood produce to be cooked to your liking.

All seafood produce are counted in kilograms except for cockles which was priced per plate.

Fresh cockles, ready to be prepared to your liking.

Seafood being grilled

Fresh BBQ crab

Also spotted in the vicinity of the restaurant is a You Tiao stall manned by two middle age ladies. According go the regular patrons here, the Yu Tiao is freshly prepared upon order and is a must try dish whenever you dine here.

Here’s some dishes that we managed to try the other day; Mango Salad, Prawn Cakes,Seafood Fried Rice, Seafood Tomyam, Grilled Stingray, Steamed Seabass, Sweet Sour and Spicy Seabass, Butter Prawns, BBQ Crab, Black Pepper Crab, BBQ Squid and Mini You Tiao.

Prawn Cakes RM15 (small) / RM30 (big). The prawn cakes was absolutely divine. It was adeptly fried and was bursting with flavours. Chunks of prawn meat can be easily found in each of it so this is the real deal. I would suggest you to go easy on this though, as Nong&Jimmy have plenty more to offer and you might want to save space for other irresistible delicacies.

Mango Salad /Kerabu Mangga RM12 per plate. Shredded unripened mangoes mixed with assorted chillies, crushed peanuts, fish sauce and topped with sweetened squid crackers. This is a typical Thai appetizer. This one is a watered down version though. I find it rather mild to my liking but it is appetizing nevertheless.

Seafood Fried Rice RM6 per pax. Very simple egg and shrimp fried rice. The fried rice has enough wok aroma but not overly overwhelming on the taste. You could still taste the sweetness of the seafood ingredients in it, so for those who can’t go without rice in their meals, might want to give this a go.

Tom Yum Soup RM15 (small)/ RM30 (big). A forewarning: The Tomyam Soup is not for the fainthearted. While it was generous with seafood ingredients, it was flamingly spicy. If you can’t take spicy food, then I would seriously suggest you to tell the chef to go easy on the chillies upon ordering. I’ve always been a fan of tomyam, unfortunately this was way out of my league. It was really rich and no nonsense kind of Tomyam Soup, though. Certainly will be going back for more, but a milder version, that is.

BBQ Stingray RM20. Perfectly grilled and very flavourful. The meat was still tender and quite juicy on the palate. I usually prefer my BBQ Stingray done on the grilled with banana leaf wrap instead of aluminium foil wrap, but these are not too shabby.

Butter Prawns RM44 per /500grams. The prawns are fresh and done on a sweet note. I wouldn’t exactly recommend the prawns done in butter style if you want to really enjoy the original sweetness and freshness of the prawn. Plainly steamed would be better but the dish is quite addictive and quite a treat.

BBQ Squid RM12 per plate. Served with a side of homemade Thai chilli sauce, the sliced BBQ squid looked rather unappetizing and plain. But please don’t be fooled by it’s unappealing presentation. The squid retains it’s original oceanic flavour, not overly chewy and is absolutely mouthwatering. Highly recommended and one of my personal favourite that night.

Thai Style Steamed Fish RM40. I’m definitely not a fan of steamed fish. I usually prefer crispily fried ones over steamed fishes but this one was tantalizing and delicious enough to make me go for second helping. Prepared simply with Thai chilli sauces but it was really tasty.

Thai Style Fried Fish RM40. Looks inviting, no? I did not manage to try this as it was gone the minute it was placed on the table. I can’t comment much but judging from how the rest at the table attacked the fish with fervour, I guess this dish was really amazing.

Grilled Crabs RM70/per kg. Grilled and not steamed, the crab meat still retain it’s freshness and juiciness.

Black Pepper Crabs RM70 per kg. Flavourful and sensational. Personally, I would recommend this black pepper crabs over the grilled crabs.

Last but not least is the Mini You Tiao served with a side of rich, homemade coconut jam. This can be taken as both dessert or starter but because the nature of this dish is rather sweet, I prefer it as desserts instead of starter. The dish is lovely and definitely for those who have sweet tooth. My son love these to bits and I’ll be sure to order more than just one plate on my next visit.

This modest restaurant is located in Taman Cahaya Ampang, Kuala Lumpur. Getting there with public transport can be quite tricky but it is pretty much easy to reach if you are driving. I would advise you not to not expect much from the ambiance This is not exactly the kind of place where you can have a romantic dinner, but a place strictly for seafood indulgence. Foodies who appreciates good Thai style seafood will most likely love this place.

Early booking and reservation is recommended as the place tend to be crowded with diners.

Ben’Z Yasin Style Raya 2015 Collection

When it comes to menswear, my husband and I have a few all time favourite designer’s label. Most of them are clothing designed by local designers. Yes. Both of us are quite taken to wearing designer’s label these days, but when it comes to traditional clothing, only a handful of them are appealing in our opinion. There is one label in particular caught our attention recently; Ben’Z Yasin Style. It is fairly new in the fashion industry but in my humble opinion, Ben’Z Yasin Style can go really far.

Ben’Z Yasin Style has recently introduced their Baju Melayu 2015 collection and I thought they gave new breath to somewhat traditionally rigid Baju Melayu.

Ben’Z Yasin new line of Baju Melayu Collection for Aidilfitri 2015. The design comes in four different style and colours. Combining songket and satiny fabrics with contrasting colours, the collection receives mixed reaction from fashion enthusiasts out there. While traditionalists and the conservatives claimed that the outfits are out of norm and too bold, I personally fell in love with the collections and thought that they are not only striking and could make any men who wears them look tastefully fashionable, but the clothing could also be converted into smart casual wear if worn with just slacks and without the traditional sampin.

Below is the four different colours available in the collection:

PinkHot, suitable for metrosexual men who are bold enough to wear pink.

PurpleStyle. Splashes of colours that makes interesting combination. Strutting in these will surely turn heads towards you.

OrangeStyle, vibrant and striking, this energetic and cheeky colour one will surely make the wearer stands out in the crowd.

And last but not least, BlueStyle. Among all of the designs, my husband and I loved this one the most. It was love at first sight.We thought that this particular Baju Melayu design by Ben’Z Yasin Style is stylish and elegant enough without being overly frilly. Versatile in the sense that it could be worn casually during festive season and formal occasions.

Local band and singing sensation, Aftershock, wearing Ben’Z Style Raya Collection for their Aidilfitri 2015 MV shooting. Eye candies, aren’t they?

I had the opportunity to interview the inspiring man himself during the MV shooting for Aftershock’s Raya MV. Check it out:

My interview with Are Bern, founder of Ben’Z Yasin Style and behind the scene for Aftershock Raya MV shooting. Video edit by Garfield. The interview was done in Bahasa Malaysia, though.

If there is one thing I can say about the collection is that is definitely visionary and I think it will win the hearts of many youngsters. Traditional wear needs no longer be boring but stylish instead.

Fuss Free Shopping at Cincaibuy

Shopping during festive season can be quite a hassle. While I’m a self professed shopaholic and can never resist a good sale, I would never bother to endure the congested traffic or the terribly long queue at the payment counters in shopping malls just for a seasonal bargain.

I prefer to do my festive season shopping online. Now, being a shopaholic, I could name a few online shopping portal that I recently frequent, but here’s sharing a fairly new one that offers quiet a steal, cincaibuy.com.

Cincaibuy.com is an online shopping portal. The website is mobile responsive, minimalistic and easy to navigate.

I couldn’t resist the ongoing sale, so I ordered a couple of things from cincaibuy.com.

The parcel takes about 5-7 days to arrive.

Specially ordered these for my next traveling escapade.

3 piece brown leather bagpack set for easy and fuss free travel.

Silk kimono cardigan so that I can look elegant in photos.

Kos Serani Raya Collection 2015 Showcase at Iftar with eWana.FM

Guest photographer: Yard Yarzlil

I’m a little bit of a vainpot these days. Looking good apparently makes me feel good as well, and so, for the upcoming Aidilfitri 2015, I begged my favourite designer, Kos Serani to design something outstanding for me and my boys to wear for the festive season. Despite of receiving overwhelming orders, Kos Serani agreed to indulge my whims and fancy, so I guess I’ll be wearing beautifully unique designer’s label this coming festive season instead of my usual ready made clothing bought off from the retail stores. I have no doubt that Kos Serani would make us look striking with his exclusively designed clothing.

Kose Serani has unveiled some of his Hari Raya collection during Iftar with eWana FM at D’Arab Station, Cheras and here’s sharing a sneak peak on some of Kose Designs&Collection for Aidilfitri 2015.

Another Baju Melayu in Kos Serani’s label. Oriental inspired, this Baju Melayu have the Chinese button’s closure.

Unique Mandarin collar with Chinese button’s closure. Definitely great for those who usually misplace their Baju Melayu buttons.

Not into Baju Melayu and wants something strikingly extraordinary? No fret, there’s this Matrix Jubah for those who wants to be different this festive season.

Aim for the young gentlemen who wants to go all stylish, this was one design in the new collection that receive a lot of attention among the guests. It was the darling of the crowd.

Kos Serani is a maestro in menswear, but the ladies can look forward to some fanficul dresses from him as well. Sweet looking dress, don’t you think?

Pink and elegant with laces and beads.

Pretty in blue.

This is just a sneak peak to Kose Serani Design& Collection. There’s plenty more to come and I’ll be sure to share with all of you here soon.

A Star-Studded Ramadan at Klang Parade

In light of the pensive mood marking the fasting month descending upon Muslims, Klang Parade thus organises the inaugural Fiesta Klang Parade to enliven the atmosphere with a variety of show-stopping performances by acclaimed celebrities like Anuar Zain and Adibah Noor to complement other exciting events and activities happening in the mall throughout the month of June/July.

While Fiesta Klang Parade gets live on 13 June, Saturday, the main event commenced on 14 June, Sunday at 2:30pm, whereby shoppers would be entreated to an opening performance by Azizi Zakaria of the DiGi Celebriteen fame.

Elizabeth Tan, the YouTube starlet who rose to fame last year for her rendition of Sudirman’s Tanggal 31, followed suit and was accompanied by Rejuvenate Dance Crew, who pop, lock, and break it to the tune of Tan’s latest single, “Knock Knock”.

Here’s what happened that late afternoon. Adibah Noor took the stage and performed a couple of her most memorable hits before passing the microphone on to Anuar Zain.

It is a rare sight to have a couple of Malaysia’s most recognisable names in the entertainment industry perform at the same location on the same day, so be sure to catch them during their brief stay at Fiesta Klang Parade.

Other Highlights during Klang Parade Fiesta:

*Baki Zainal hosts the fiesta! He’ll be working closely with deejays from Suria FM to excite shoppers the entire day.

*Suria FM Wheelers will also be present to play games with shoppers and to provide giveaways.

For the first time, Klang Parade will alsp launch its very own Flea Market to coincide with the fiesta over the weekend, featuring a myriad of novelty items for sale.

A Trick Art Gallery is also up on the First Floor (4 – 30 June) and shoppers are invited to participate in a “Snap and Win” Instagram contest. All participants have to do is simply snap a photograph of themselves at the gallery then upload them to their Instagram accounts with the hashtags #KlangParade and #TrickArt. Prizes worth RM3,000 are up for grabs for the most creative and funniest entries, and results will be announced at the end of the month.

Klang Parade’s very own Bazaar Ramadan kicks off from 12 June and will last till 15 July. Still not too late to hop over there for the bazaar people

The Fiesta Klang Parade isn’t a departure from the mall’s usual offerings but rather a continuation of the retail centre’s commitment to provide more appealing opportunities for a wider audience. Understanding the holy month for Muslims can be a rather sedate affair, the fiesta was thus organised to exhilarate shoppers even before they begin to fast.

Fancy breaking fast at 3,000 above sea level? Well then, head over to Rajawali Coffee House in Awana Resort Hotel, Genting Highlands. The restaurant is offering Rajawali Bazaar Ramadhan for this Ramadan 2015, featuring a rather generous buffet spread for your gastronomic pleasure.

As usual, like all of my Ramadan buffet reviews, I’ll just highlight what I think worth having rather than going in depth for each dishes featured at this buffet.

Kambing Bakar Ahmad Rosnie

Australian Roast Lamb, dressed with homemade black pepper sauce and mint sauce. Perfectly done and I definitely wouldn’t mind seconds, but of course I had to save space for other tantalizing dishes offered in the buffet.

Kelantanese Delights, Nasi Kerabu and condiments along with the side dishes.

The all time Malaysians favourite rice dish during special occasions, Nasi Briyani.

Anne Gopal Sappede. This live action stall features freshly made Murtabak, Roti Canai, Roti Telur, Puree, Chappati, Dhosai, Idli and condiments like Parpu Masalah, Tengga Chutney Tomato Chutney and Potato Masala.

Had sone Murtabak and thought these are definitely one of the better ones I’ve tasted during Ramadan buffet media previews.

The noodle counter, featuring assorted noodles and sides for you to assemble to your own liking.

The Sup Kambing was simply delicious, definitely a cure for the grumbling tummy.

To my delight, my favourite Laksa Penang is also available at the buffet. Needless to say, I enjoyed this very much.

Kebabs and shawerma is also offered at the Middle East live action stall.

Seafood lovers would be pleased to discover that they are not forgotten. I spotted the grilled flower crabs at the grilled section and thought they are simply sensational.

Not into grilled seafood? That’s fine. There is always Seafood on Ice.

Lok Lok and Yong Taufu

These assorted skewered fishballs and surimis are bland on it’s own, but perfect when paired with the specially made sweet and Yong Taufu spicy sauce.

Kak Nor Ratu Kueh section features assorted traditional kuih for you to enjoy.

Fruits to cleanse your palate with.

You may also assemble your own Ais Kacang at the assorted beverages section.
