Editor’s Note – August 2016
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.

Food Review – Tiki Taka at Medan Damansara
[Review] I recently headed over to Tiki Taka in Medan Damansara with Joey, Lynn, Andy Kho and his two little cousins to try out this newly opened restaurant and bar. The establishment is owned by Hans who formerly owned D’Legends Bar in TTDI. Hans got the idea for his new outlet when he travelled to Barcelona last year. He liked the culture of having meals in small portions so decided to introduce that concept here but instead of following the Spanish food culture, he decided to put a twist to it by having some Asian influence in the dishes. … Continue reading Food Review – Tiki Taka at Medan Damansara

Atria Shopping Gallery’s Comedy & Food Festival 2016
[Upcoming Event] I still remember going to Atria when I was back in secondary school. The neighbourhood mall was one of the favourite hang out spots for SMDJ students before/ after school and on Friday afternoons the KFC there would be full of students, while the Popular bookstore was one of the spots where students got their stationary and revision books. Over time however, newer and newer malls opened and Atria lost its appeal to a lot of shoppers due to its limited size and tenant mix. I was very glad to hear that Atria would be redeveloped. The new … Continue reading Atria Shopping Gallery’s Comedy & Food Festival 2016
