Announcement: Congratulations Sai KIt & Chloe


First and foremost, I would like to dedicate this page specially for Chloe & Sai Kit as they have just organized a Pre-Wedding Party. alexleow-kimmy.com would like to extend our congratulatory message to both Sai Kit & Chloe for their successful wedding.


There are about 70++ people who attended the wedding party and it was a successful one. Although it's raining in between the party, the people who attended the party had an enjoyable time over there and of course the food where it's delicious and nice too. The party serves Western Buffet Food and there's a lot of variety to choose from including spaghetti, rice, cakes, lamb, fish, fruits and salad. The most important thing is also the 2 beautiful voices from the band which consists of a female and a male singer. Both of them of course are handsome and pretty too. No doubt about that. Their voice is fantastic and throughout the live band performance, many of the people enjoyed the songs too.


Now, the most nostalgic moments is here where Sai Kit & Chloe gave their respective speeches hosted by a young and energetic MC of the day Kevin Kong. The couple thanked all the people who turned up on this meaningful event and most importantly, they shared their love experiences with us and it's so touching. There's also the couple's close friends, who gave their respective testimonials to the couple and of course the audiences do have a great laugh as well. There's also several slide shows to show and you know what, we do have a great laugh and enjoyed watching the sweet and romance slide shows too.


Overall, it's a very successful wedding for both Chloe & Sai Kit happening right here in Kuala Lumpur. I am sure all the audiences left in happy faces and once again alexleow-kimmy.com would like to wish the both couple happy always and get more babies too. Happy Happy!

Food & Gathering: Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant, Sunway Pyramid


Hi All,

I would like to take this opportunity to wish our beloved colleague Alex Chew a farewell as he have left my company and this weekend is his last stay over there. We have had our farewell lunch at Brotzeit German Bier Bar & Restaurant located at Sunway Pyramid.


Our gathering is scheduled at 12.00 noon once again and this time around we have to wait for several colleagues who are late that day. We started our order at around 12.45pm and many of you would want to know what we have ordered. We've ordered the Huge Pork Platter (RM497.60) which consists of Schweinshaxn Pork Knuckle + Gypsy Pork Belly + Schweinerippchen Pork Ribs + Currywurst Pork Sausage + Weisswurst Munich White Sausage + Bockwurst Smoked Pork Sausages and Grilled Marinated Pork Steaks. On top of that we've also ordered the Potato Salad, Sauerkraut, Chicken Pizza (RM35.00) and Seafood Salad (RM48.00). For drinks, we do order Ice Lemon Tea, Coffee and 4 half pines of Paulaner Beer (RM33.65).

Potato Salad
Huge Pork Platter
Chicken Pizza
Chicken Pizza
Seafood Salad
Paulaner German Beer
We have a total of 10 persons who attended this gathering including Alex Chew, Gina, Agnes, June, Wei Wen, Carron & 2 kids, Kee Lian Hoe and ME. We have a great time enjoying the food. It does not take very long for the food to arrive and once we take a look at the platter, we are like "WOW!", the portion is so huge and enough and suitable for at least 8-10 persons. After finishing our meal, the Huge Pork Platter is a must try where all the meat and sausages are very delicious and tasty that includes Schweinshaxn Pork Knuckle + Gypsy Pork Belly + Schweinerippchen Pork Ribs + Currywurst Pork Sausage + Weisswurst Munich White Sausage + Bockwurst Smoked Pork Sausages and Grilled Marinated Pork Steaks. The Chicken Pizza is just so-so and not so tasty while the Seafood Salad is also quite salty and not so tasty as it seems. We are quite dissapointed with it. For the drinks, there's nothing so special about it except you get to taste the German Beer which I think is nice too.


The bill came and it costs about RM610.00 and if you have around 8 adults + 2 kids per person you have to pay is around RM70.00++ per person but you get to eat quality meat and sausages as well that grilled and cooked into perfection. I would recommend you to come over here to try especially the Huge Pork Platter in groups or if you are a boss, you are kind enough to treat your employees with these and they will be very happy indeed. I have to admit that it's very pricey but once in a while it should be okay. We had a great meal special thanks to Alex Chew treat. We wish you Alex Chew step step rise high in your career and all the best! Enjoy your meal too. MY RATING: 5/5 ; COLLEAGUES RATING: 5/5

Food Hunt: Papa's Cafe, Tropicana CIty Mall, Petaling Jaya


Hi All,

Welcome back to yet another special edition of Food Hunt where ME & Kimmy had chosen Papa's Cafe located at Tropicana City Mall for our very late dinner I suppose. This is because we just finished watching the movie there and now we wanted to have out dinner. Apparently we have a tough time selecting the restaurant to eat and since we are at 1st Floor, without any hesitation we have chosen Papa's Cafe.


We reached the restaurant at around 9.15pm and the crowd is pretty less. There are still customers who dine in as late as we are. We quickly look at the menu and then we have selected the following food. There are a lot of varieties of food to choose from including Western and Local Food as well. I've chosen Nasi Lemak Rendang Ayam (RM9.90) while Kimmy had ordered a Promotion Set Assam Seafood Set Rice that comes with a Cincau drink (RM11.90). For drinks, I've ordered Ice Lemon Tea (RM4.50).


The food does not take very long to come and I would say it's fast too. 5 minutes is all you have to wait for the food to arrive based on the number of customers at the restaurant. The Nasi Lemak Rendang Ayam is a must try at this restaurant. It's delicious especially the rendang which contains lots of santan and the rice is nice too. The sambal is also nice and if you love a non spicy nasi lemak, then this meal is suitable for you or else, you can forget about it because it's not very spicy. The Assam Seafood Set Rice is also nice. The assam flavour is spicy and the tasty too. The cincau and Ice Lemon Tea is just normal and nothing special about it.


The bill came and it costs about RM28.95 and I must have said it's reasonable too if you eat at the malls. There's a 10% Service Charge being implemented on top of your bill only. The food that we ordered are nice and you can order this meal when you are here too. I would recommend you to come over here no matter you are here for lunch or dinner. During weekdays, you can enjoy lunch set promotions and other promotions as well. Enjoy your meal folks! MY RATING: 5/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5

There's a huge Christmas trees standing tall in the middle of the concourse area as well.

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first of two films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. The second film will be “The Hobbit: There and Back Again.”Both films are set in Middle-earth 60 years before “The Lord of the Rings,” which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

___________________________________________________________

My Comments: Finally this movie had come to the big screens and I have been waiting for such a long time and today is the day where ME & Kimmy had desperately go to watch this movie with exceptionally high expectations towards this movie. We watched this movie at GSC Tropicana City Mall in Petaling Jaya. I've booked this movie earlier and I can't wait to watch seriously. After watching this movie, it was absolutely stunning and lovely movie to catch of all time. My high expectations turned out to be a reality this time. Peter Jackson is truly the best ever director for this movie after having his successful Lord Of The Rings trilogy and now he has done it again. He is risen! The Hobbit set to being you another great adventure and the storyline is very well plotted and as usual the music are superb and lovely. The action and jokes are there equally a lot and throughout he 2 hour and 45 minutes movie, you will not get bored at all and the storyline makes you more eager to know what is going to happens next. The beautiful scenes that was shot at New Zealand also plays a bigger part in this movie, having now Peter Jackson is able to produce a much more better quality scenery and graphics as well. If you love Lord Of The Rings, you would simply love this one as well as the storyline is almost same as it is and it's a prequel. Among the actors and actresses that features before on Lord Of The Rings like Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis and others set to give you yet another great acts from them as well.  I have to bow down to Peter Jackson superior quality movie and I am totally speechless with what he have done with his powerful and brilliant masterpiece. I would again strongly recommend you to watch this movie no matter what and you will simply love it. MY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT) ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5 (PERFECT)

Leisure: IPC Shopping Centre Christmas Decorations 2012



Hi All,

Welcome back to probably the last stop of the mall marathon for Christmas this year and I could have missed several important malls this year including Mid Valley and Sunway Pyramid. Anyway, the remaining weeks had been pretty busy for me so I should conclude with the last visit to IPC Shopping Centre located at Mutiara Damansara.


Their Christmas theme this year would be "Merry Christmas God Jul" and the word God Jul is in Swedish which means Merry Christmas. This year theme for IPC would be pretty special but the decorations is pretty normal and it's one of the worst decorations so far. I am not impressed with the Christmas Decorations yet again and it was pretty dissapointing. It does contains a few Christmas trees and then a Swedish House and a animal hut inside a Swedish Themed Village and it was too simple. They used a lot cardboard to represent the animals and it's not real. The houses was pretty normal and I could not feel the Christmas feel at this mall at all.


I would not recommend you to come over here for the Christmas Decorations but I will still welcome you here for shopping as their mall also contains Christmas mega sale at the moment. With that we conclude our mall marathon review for this year. See you all next year. Anyway, do check out the full photos on alexleow-kimmy.com Facebook Page. Enjoy. MY RATING: 2/5 ; KIMMY RATING: 3/5

Leisure: The Curve Christmas Decorations 2012



Hello All,

Welcome back to our mall marathon once again and in the year 2012, our journey had almost come to an end of the mall marathon mainly this week as we concluded our visit around the Mutiara Damansara area. The first mall to visit there would be The Curve Shopping Mall. This year Christmas Theme for The Curve Shopping Mall would be "A Christmas Fairy Tale...with a sprinkle of fairy dust".


For me, the Christmas Decorations this year at The Curve looks just normal and nothing special about it. But I must say the concourse area is filled with artificial grass where once you step in, you can feel that you are stepping on the grass. The decorations this year focus on the body of a tree where there's a door that led into a house and the outside view would be some mushrooms and a green green grass of home. There's also Christmas trees that surrounds the area too. Kimmy like this decorations very much so she would give it a full marks for the decorations this year.


Since the area is not too big, I would say they have a done a good job too at least converting the concourse area into something really eye catchy (the artificial grass). There's also an opportunity for your kids to dress like a fairy and take photos there and it's chargeable at a small amount of fee too. I would recommend you to come over here to take photos as your kids will love it too. Although I say it was just normal but overall it's still pretty eye catchy decorations this year and you should enjoy it as well. Also not forgetting the Christmas Shopping Fever is ongoing at the mall as well. Anyway, do check out the full photos on alexleow-kimmy.com Facebook Page. Enjoy. MY RATING: 4/4 ; KIMMY RATING: 5/5
