Wellness Wine Tasting @ The Mix, Holiday Inn



Let's unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine. It is believe that moderate consumption of wine may have significant health benefits. Recently, CaldbeckMacregor and AMC Malaysia organized the 'Wellness Wine Tasting' held at The Mix, a welcoming restobar operated by Holiday Inn.


Healthy eating and drinking is not all about boring diet or bland and tasteless food. The Wellness concept is all about listening to your body to what you need to eat in order to achieve a healthy and fulfilling life. AMC Malaysia, a market leader in cookware held a live cooking demonstration, with their house chef preparing healthy grilled salmon dish without the need to add oil. With the right products and cooking method, one can cook healthy food that also delicious. 
  

The delicious main has to be paired with selection of wines from Caldbeck Macgregor. 

We have the chance to sample few types of red and white wine. Medium-bodied and fruity red while the white are sweet and light best paired with the tasty grilled salmon.  

It was an enjoyable night spent with the ladies. Till then, XOXO!

Tiger Bites Street Food Festival @ Avenue K Rooftop



Hello! Still remember the Tiger Bites trip I went with Tiger Beer few months ago in search of the best street food hunt? Well, in conclusion of the Tiger Bites, the rooftop of Avenue K is being transformed to resemble popular street food markets of Kuala Lumpur with a scrumptious spread of popular Malaysian hawker food dished out al fresco dining style. Wow... besides getting spoilt for choice with the wide variety of delicious street foods and we are treated to ice cold Tiger Beer.  A perfect pairing. :D

The specially created Tiger Beer cocktails, Roaring Passion and Bite Me, Cherry. 

While we are busy with foods and boozes, we are also entertained by Talitha Tan awesome performances.

Roasted duck, BBQ pork and char siew.

 Flying wantan mee.

Hokkien mee.

The night is ended with a surprise of two Lok Lok truck making its appearance for supper. Too bad I missed this!


Apart from foods, there are exciting activities such as ‘Go Nuts for Nuts’ and ‘Get Your Balls Straight’ games so we could win a stamp to redeem for more beer! 


As it began raining later in the evening, we then make our way indoor to ‘Chill lah’ area to kick back and relax. 

Hutong popiah. 

Back in August, Tiger Bites challenged foodies to a gastronomical hunt around Malaysia to uncage hidden street flavours. Embarking on roads less travelled, food lovers traversed the country in search for rare but yummy hawker nom noms, pinning their discoveries on Tiger Beer’s microsite www.tigerbites.com.my for others to explore. 

Prizes such as 18 sets of GoPros, phone lenses and selfie tripods were rewarded to participants of this 11 week long contest. The participant who put together the best street food trail (which combines the most number of pins dropped and total distance travelled) was then awarded with an all-expenses paid trip for two to Taiwan where more great meals await. Congrats to all the winners.
