EDOX Delfin Fleet 1650 Limited Edition

Every wreck tells the tale of a seafaring adventure and yet sadly many wrecks around the busy sea-lanes of Indonesia are especially vulnerable to destruction. In early 2017, EDOX announced it will underwrite a special project, with Arqueonautas (company active in the research of shipwrecks and of archaeological surveys) and Indonesia’s Bureau for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, to research and protect the final resting place of a fleet of five ships that belonged to the famed Dutch … Continue reading EDOX Delfin Fleet 1650 Limited Edition
Chef Ricky Parlanti Takes Over the Helm of Prego, The Westin Kuala Lumpur

Italian cuisine is one of my favourites as I find something really comforting about a nice warm plate of delicious pasta. Being someone who loves cheese also meant that I know how to appreciate traditional Italian dishes like burrata and carbonara, while tiramisu with mascarpone cheese soaked with dark rum or brandy is one of the few desserts that I partake off. Chef Ricky comes from a family with culinary background, and … Continue reading Chef Ricky Parlanti Takes Over the Helm of Prego, The Westin Kuala Lumpur

Time to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
[Environmental/ Community Matters] When I was in primary school, my dad brought back a souvenir for me from the USA in the form of a book – 50 Ways to Save the Planet – a children’s book full of creative ideas for recycling.

Essentially, polystyrene containers were banned while a 20 sen … Continue reading Time to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle
