National Geographic Channels’ T.Rex Autopsy
It’s school holiday. A rather short one and since Ramadan is just around the corner and we have been busy with Ramadan food reviews, we did not exactly have a travel plan. Slightly guilt ridden, I brought my son to Petrosains.
It’s the Dino month in Petrosains and we were invited for a special screening of National Geographic Channel’s new two-hour special, T. Rex Autopsy at TGV Cinemas @ KLCC, Kuala Lumpur. It was indeed a very educational experience for both of us. A tad too gory for me but my son loves it to bits.
At 14 metres long, nearly two metres wide and lying lifeless in a specially constructed biology lab, the world’s first full-size, anatomically complete recreation of a Tyrannosaurus rex awaits dissection.
In National Geographic Channel’s new two-hour special, T. rex Autopsy, four intrepid scientists get to the heart (literally) of what made this fearsome creature tick.
This once-in-a-lifetime experiment will offer viewers an unprecedented opportunity to explore questions such as whether or not T. rex had feathers; how it fed with tiny arms; whether it was primarily a hunter or scavenger; how it digested food; how old it lived to be; how it procreated; and whether it was warm-blooded like a mammal or cold-blooded like a reptile. With eyes the size of grapefruits, 30 centimetre-long teeth and a stomach big enough to digest a four-year-old child, the recreation of the T. rex is lifelike inside and out. Using cutting-edge special effects in collaboration with esteemed veterinary surgeons, anatomists and palaeontologists, T. rex Autopsy illuminates the latest research and findings about the Tyrannosaurus rex.
In their quest to document, x-ray and scan the T. rex, the experts must cope with unexpected surprises (such as the overwhelming smell manufactured for its innards) as they saw through bone, wade through blood and slice through muscle to determine how this 65-million-year-old beast may have lived – and died.
T. rex Autopsy headlines a colossal month of dinosaur programming on the National Geographic Channel that includes the premiere of Dino Death Match, T. rex: Ultimate Survivor, Bigger Than T. rex and the two-hour special Top Ten Biggest Beasts Ever which happens every Sunday, 10pm. The adventure continues on the weekdays with more Dino programs daily at 7pm on National Geographic Channel (ASTRO Channel 553).
T.Rex Autopsy is set to premiere on June 14 at 10.00pm, National Geographic Channel (ASTRO Channel 553).

Ramadan Kampung Poolside Dining Experience in JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur
If you are looking for some relaxing buka puasa this coming Ramadan, why not go for JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur and indulge in their mouth-watering delights, featuring over 130 of the best Malay delicacies by the poolside? Just imagine breaking your fast by the poolside instead of a stuffy restaurant. Just the reward that you might want after a whole day fasting.
I managed to sample some of the delicacies that they will be offering this coming Ramadan and I must say that I’m quite impressed.
JW Marriott is spoiling the diners quite a bit but here’s highlighting what’s worth mentioning :
Roasted Lamb is a must try over here. I took a bite of it and approves the flavourful taste of the meat.
Gerai BBQ and Satay
The BBQ section features satay with a choice of chicken and beef satay.
Delicious chicken satay, and I was told that this is the chef’s pride and joy and definitely a must try at the buffet. The satay are to be taken with the sweet and spicy peanut sauce and a side of nasi impit as well as cucumber and onion slices on the side. I always opt for the chicken ones over the beef, but do give the beef version of the satay a try too. They are just as wonderful.
Gerai Nasi Kandar featuring the all time Malaysian favourite mixed rice and accompanying curries that can be commonly found in mamak joints.
Nasi Briyani
Kobis Goreng Kunyit
Lamb curry
Masaala Chicken
Not really into Nasi Kandar and Indian food? Want something less complex and mild on the palate for iftar? No fret. Nasi Ayam, or chicken rice, the undoubtly an all time Malaysian favourite is also available for your dining pleasure by the poolside this coming Ramadan too.
Fragrant chicken rice. The rice is positively authentic and good. It is the no-nonsence kind and is to be taken with a healthy helping of chicken as the side dish, of course. There is two types of chicken that you can choose to have with your rice; the steamed version and the roasted version.
Roasted chicken. Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and was rather greasy. No. That is not a complain. I love slightly greasy roasted chicken to go with my chicken rice. It is much more satisfying that way. Not quite healthy and quite a cholesterol fest, but hey, I’m a foodie and I only live once. :p I’m entitled to such indulgence, don’t I?
Steamed chicken. Definitely a healthier alternative in comparison to the roasted version as the roasted ones is much greasier. The health conscious would definitely approve but I won’t comment much on this as I gave this a miss in favour of the roasted version.
Chicken soup. An optional side to the plate of chicken rice.
Sambal, soya sauce, cucumber and garnishings for the chicken rice.
Selera Utama consists of assorted traditional favourite that can be commonly found in a Malay kitchen.
Assorted traditional curries and dishes to go with steamed white rice. In the picture is ayam lemak cili padi, rendang ayam, black pepper beef, ikan masin talang masak lemak,
panjeri nanas, paru goreng and Chinese mix vege. Apart from these, there is of all traditional Malay favourite main dishes such as ayam masak kicap, ayam masak merah, ayam percik kelantan, kari kambing, sambal udang petai, fried chicken with dried chili, daging masak halia, sweet and sour fish, kurma ayam, labu masak lemak pucuk manis, sayur campur, rendang ayam, redang daging, daging kunyit, paru goreng berlada, sotong goreng kunyit and more. There is something that will most definitely agree with you even if you don’t fancy the ones that I have tried.
Gerai Ulam dan Kerabu is also available and you will appreciate the fact that they are offering plenty to perk up your palate with.
Assorted sambals originating from various states in Malaysia. Sambal belacan, sambal tempoyak, sambal mangga, sambal nenas, cencaluk, and of course, budu. Spicy and pungent start to a traditional Malay fair is highly recommended. These does not disappoint.
Fresh Ulams. I’m not very good at recognizing those traditional leaf and herbs but I spotted some familar ones. Pegaga, terung, jantung pisang and petai is safely present in the buffet.
Ikan Pekasam Goreng Berlada. I tried this once during Lenggong Food Festival last year and it was unforgettable and I’m glad to be able to have a repeated experience this year.
Acar Rampai. Made from assorted preserved fruits, this jam-like side dish is great with plain white rice.
Kerabu Daging was nothing short of sensational.
Kerabu Mangga dengan Udang was a tad too spicy to my liking but I like it as they are quite generous with the fish sauce and the prawns.
Assorted modern and traditional kuih is available for dessert, but do keep a lookout for their bread and butter pudding. It was amazingly addictive.
And then of course after all the heavy dining done, there is local fruits to cleanse our palate with.
Personally I’m impressed with the fact that JW Marriot makes an effort to keeping our traditional Malaysian delicacies alive through these type of buffets. It is refreshing to see real Malaysian food instead of fancy international cuisine in Ramadan buffet. Dining here makes me feel like I’m breaking fast with my family and friends at home.
Below is the information on the Kampung Poolside Dining Experience in JW Marriott for the upcoming Ramadan 2015:
Poolside (June 17, 2015 onwards) – RM 95.00 nett per adult and MYR 48.00 nett per child.

Reviving The Tales of Olympus with XES Signature
Remember quite some time ago I went for XES Hi Tea? I think that was somewhere in March and I was informed that XES Shoes will be releasing their new collection pretty soon? Well they finally did last May. So sorry for the late posting. Life have been really hectic and I’m almost never at home. There is so many things going on. Ushering Ramadan 2015; there is almost daily food reviews in hotels and restaurants and since it is MyFest2015 and I’m a family friendly tourism activist, I’ve been festival hopping with my family almost every weekend.
Okay, enough with my whining. XES have been both mine and my husband’s favourite shoe brand for our travels and they had just revealed their new collection and naturally, I was hyped up about it.
Their theme this time? Greek Mythology.The Tales of Olympus. Arriving at the venue of their launching makes me feel as if I was transported directly to the ancient Greece where the Greek Gods and Goddesses are actually alive. You see, when I was a child I was quite a bookworm. Mythology was my favourite genre, and my favourite story ought to be the moon Goddess Selene and Endymion; the story of the moon goddess who fell in love with a mortal man who was then granted eternal sleep as their affair progressed. It was a rather sweet but tragic story, but I like it nevertheless.
Checking out the venue, I spotted a few things that reflect the lives in Olympus being integrated in the event launching activities. Bow and arrow. Or rather, an archery competition.
Guests who hits the target actually stands a chance to win some products from XES.
Speed competition. Those who manage to tie up shoe lace in record time also wins something from XES.
Complimentary make over by Sense and Style for guests
Beautification in progress
Well, I suppose this is enough to make the goddess of beauty, Aphrodite goes green in envy.
Luffy Buskers busking in the background.
And what’s good music without some sexy dance performance that could even make the Greek goddesses blush? Here’s some magnificent dance performed by one of XES’s event sponsor, Fitness First.
Seductive and alluring dance performance by the lovely Ms. Mico, Miss XES Elegance 2014/2015 before the unveiling of the new collection from XES Signature: Tales of Olympus.
The showcase of: The Tales of Olympus collections by XES Signature in conjunction of their 13th years anniversary.
Apart from the alluring high heels collection for the ladies, the men will be pleased to see that there is something for them in the form of shoes and sandals for them too.
XES, the trendy family shoes store, is giving one of the world’s most ancient forms of footwear a modern makeover. With sandals being the prominent footwear in ancient Greece. XES has designed various modern sandals interlaced with delicate straps crossing the toes and wrapping the ankles, made with natural material ages beautifully and will encourage women to wrap in the beauty and simplicity of the Grecian fashion.
Here’s unveiling some of the Tales of Olympus collections
Tales of Love
Tales of Beauty
Tales of Glory
Tales of Destiny
Tales of Victory
Tales of Belief
Tales of Heart
Tales of Colours
Tales of Music
Tales of Life
Tales of Courage
Tales of Enchantment
Not into high heels? That’s fine. There’s more from XES in their other range of collections.
Comfortable, colourful slippers. Just something you might wanna wear to the beach.
Prim and demure ballerina flats. Great for both work and casual wear.
Comfy sandals for those days where you need to do a lot of running around.
Matching handbags to pair with your outfits and shoes with.
And of course, there is something for the gentlemen too.

In Colonial Restaurant, The Intermark Kuala Lumpur
Not really into making a bee-line for iftar this coming Ramadan and is looking for some proper sit down dining that is somewhat homey but classy? Well, you might want to give In Colonial Restaurant a try.
In Colonial Restaurant. Located at the ground floor, in The Intermark, Ampang. The place is located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur and is easily accessible via public transport.
True to it’s name, the restaurant’s interior is somewhat inspired by the British occupation times, where everything looks rather historic. One could easily mistake the restaurant for serving Western food, but don’t let the appearance fool you. This is actually a restaurant specialized in serving Chinese food.
Managed to sample some of the offerings here in In Colonial restaurant the other day on my wedding anniversary, and I have to say that my husband and I approved.
Here’s sharing what we had:
A platter of appetizer consists of: Swiss Spring Rolls, Shrimp Ravioli, Mango Prawn Rolls, Noodlefish with Salt and Chilli and last but not least, Beef and Chicken Skewers. I have nothing bad to say about these appetizers. They surpassed my expectations and made quite an interesting gastronomic feat.
Here’s some of the chef recommended dishes that we manage to try that day: In Colonial Black Pepper Rib Eye Cubes, Steamed Sea Garoupa in Lemon Juice, Admiral Butter Tiger Prawns, Padprik Veggies, Claypot Oysters and Seafood, and last but not least, Golden Brown Minced Garlic Scallops.
In Colonial Black Pepper Rib Eye Cubes. I gave this a miss, but my husband managed to try this dish. He is not really a fan of beef and would usually pick other dishes to try in favour of beef, but he gobbled these up and told me that it was well executed. The beef was fully flavoured and juicily tender.
Steamed Sea Garoupa in Lemon Juice was nothing short of sensational. Sweetly oceanic in flavour but at the same time, refreshing and addictive. The lemon juice makes you want to keep on having a go at the fish
Admiral Butter Tiger Prawns. The prawns were succulent and juicy and was adeptly fried. No complains here.
Padprik Vege. Rather mediocre in my opinion. It tasted good, but I wasn’t particularly impressed or anything.
Claypot Oysters and Seafood is a dish where there is assorted seafood inside of it. Not too shabby.Great for seafood lovers as there’s a bit of everything inside of one pot.
Golden Brown Minced Garlic Scallops was my favourite dish that night. The scallops was fully flavoured with minced garlic and was perfectly prepared. No prize guessing how many I gobbled up that night. 
We had these to wash our food with. Some fancy fruit juices.
We ended our meal with this, herbal jelly with honey.
Overall, the meal satiated our appetite and for the coming Ramadan 2015, In Colonial Restaurant is offering sets similar to what we had for RM80 per pax. Quite a good deal for such satisfying meal.

Selangor Islamic Festival 2015:
Sharing Islamic Innovation & Progress Through Arts & Culture
The Selangor Islamic Festival 2015 is a two day event that aims to be the purveyor of Islamic values by showcasing the religion’s innovation and progress through the perspective of a moderate society.
The Golden Age of Islam has contributed much to the modern establishment of science, medicine, astrology, algebra and many other sectors. Muslim scholars built the world’s first observatory, developed the astrolabe, an instrument once called “a mathematical jewel” and experimented with diet, drugs, surgery, and anatomy. The period also saw advances in Agriculture, with the preservation and improved network of wells, underground canals and waterwheels.
Delivering the messages of Islam to locals and visitors, the festival will showcase some of the finest works of Islam through an exhibition of historical Islamic artefacts, Islamic fashion & food fair, archery competition, music and the arts.
In line with the 2015 Visit Selangor Year (TMS 2015), the festival is an ideal platform to share the rich history of Islam; not just to Muslims but to the masses; sharing a wealth of information that is interesting and that best represents Islam’s diverse range of Islamic oriented innovation and progress.
Selangor Islamic Fest 2015 is an eye-opener for both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. Tourism Selangor expects 100,000 visitors over the two days, with the majority being domestic visitors. The event will also see fun activities such as archery competitions, fashion sales for men and women and special performances by Nasheed singer Hafiz Hamidun and well as popular rapper Altimet. Cat lovers will also get a chance to see cats at the Muezza cat show and listen to Sham Kamikaze talk about the beloved felines.
2015 was elected as Visit Selangor Year, specifically to promote Selangor both locally and globally to boost the state’s economy and provide returns of investments to all key industrial partners. An enchanting combination of fascinating heritage and natural splendour, Selangor is Malaysia’s most vibrant and accessible state.
One of the country’s most developed states, it nevertheless offers an abundance of enchanting landscapes from glorious waterfalls to rugged hills, national parks to world-class sports centre, and an exhilarating range of things to do. The three main segments on spotlight for the tourism year are Nature, Sports and Heritage.
Date: 30 May 2015, Saturday
Time: 7.45pm
Venue: Stadium Malawati, Shah Alam
