Editor’s Note – January 2017

Tim Chew

[Editor’s Note] First and foremost, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and I’ve like to wish that you have amazing success and love in 2017! As usual, there were parties galore around the Klang Valley to close off year and celebrate the start of a new one.   Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers’ Stephanie Lim got a great view of the fireworks at KLCC!   This was a nice video of the fireworks at Desa Park City.   A good shot of the fireworks over at The Curve in Mutiara Damansara.   I like how a lot … Continue reading Editor’s Note – January 2017

The Year that was 2016

Tim Chew

[Special Feature] This year has been quite an eventful year. It marks the fifth year of Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers in operation and honestly I never expected it to reach this point when I first started it years ago. We’ve worked with so many top brands like BALL Watch, Fujifilm, Haagen Dazs, Fitness First, The Macallan, Glen Grant, Johnnie Walker, Nescafe, Cetaphil, atre pop up store, Atria Shopping Gallery, and many more. We assisted some F&B outlets such as Chili’s, Nomi Tomo Sake Bar, and Supperclub KL with some very cost effective publicity. We’ve also been invited to some very exclusive events … Continue reading The Year that was 2016

Editor’s Note – December 2016

Tim Chew

[Editor’s Note] Just like that, 2016 is coming to a close with the new year (and new adventures) beckoning. 2016 went by in a flash and I guess it’s because I really enjoyed myself, during work (in case you didn’t know, I run the digital media Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers – http://www.hottestbloggers.com) and also my after-work activities such as food reviews, events and parties (although I must say that I cut down on partying quite a bit). Now 2016 is not without its share of downs as the local economy and political scene is in turmoil (you can read about what … Continue reading Editor’s Note – December 2016

Editor’s Note – November 2016

Tim Chew

[Editor’s Note] Glenmorangie Whisky Masterclass with Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden     November is always a special month for me as it’s my birthday month! However October proved to be quite an interesting month as well as I attended 10 Malaysia International Gastronomy Festival (MIGF) 2016 reviews at festival restaurant, the most number of MIGF reviews I’ve ever done and my expanded waistline was a testament to that. Also for some strange reason, there were lots of whisky masterclasses to attend such as the Glenmorangie whisky masterclass with Glenmorangie’s master distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden at Chaze, Tropicana on 19 October 2016. … Continue reading Editor’s Note – November 2016

Editor’s Note – October 2016

Tim Chew

[Editor’s Note]   I enjoyed myself so much at the Toast The Macallan with my bloggers a couple of days before, that I returned for another session on the very last day of Toast The Macallan Kuala Lumpur 2017, this time with my partner in crime and some of my close friends.   Definitely looking forward to the next Macallan event! Photo credits: Andy Kho Photography (andykho.com) and author’s own   Pop Pop All Stars Concert   Evonne and I headed over to the Tropicana Golf & Country Resort Music clubhouse on 11 September 2016 for the Pop Pop All Stars … Continue reading Editor’s Note – October 2016

Editor’s Note – September 2016

Tim Chew

Over the past month, I was using the new Canon M10 to shoot at a couple of events and food reviews. The Canon EOS M10 is a system/ mirrorless shooter with a 18.0 megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor, Hybrid CMOS AF II, and 180° Tilt-type Touchscreen LCD＋Self Portrait Mode among its main features. I only had it for a rather short period of time however I did manage to use it to shoot a couple of food reviews and an event.   Flambeed with bourbon! Food review at Naughty Nuri’s – https://timchew.net/2016/08/01/editors-note-august-2016/ The autofocus had to be fast and accurate for this shot and luckily … Continue reading Editor’s Note – September 2016

Editor’s Note – August 2016

Tim Chew

In the blink of an eye it’s already August. You know when they say that time passes really fast when you’re having fun? Guess I’ve really been enjoying what I do because of the fast-paced and dynamic lifestyle of digital media. Over the past few months, we (Malaysia’s Hottest Bloggers that is) have worked with some top brands including BALL Watch, Fujifilm, Calvin Klein, Haagen Dazs, Motorola, Logitech, Chili’s, as well as some new clients like Atria Shopping Gallery. As the market continues to soften and consumer spending drops, many brands have cut their advertising spend and chosen to advertise … Continue reading Editor’s Note – August 2016
