As usual, I normally drink on Monday with my colleague....it's our MONDAY BLUES hahahaaa! These photos taken early June chilling out with my colleague and "happy hour" friends at Firefly. I am addicted to Leffe beer and that's the only reason why I hang out at Firefly plus ample FREE parking space! Nice place to chill for happy hour or while waiting for the traffic jam to slow down...aah it's been awhile since my last visit there, my favourite spot is at the bar...as always! ;)

FoodCrave: Ace Cafe

When deciding where to chill out, to dine or to have small gathering with friends and colleagues, I highly recommend Ace Cafe at Jalan Bundusan to be part in your "Where to Dine?" list.

It was noon time when me and my colleagues decided to have lunch at Ace Cafe and check out their latest lunch set promotion. We ordered their lunch set seafood combo, beef rice and chicken Teriyaki. Add on to the lunch set, we have ordered nasi lemak and french toast as well.

Food arrived quite fast but since I had very heavy breakfast with my son earlier that morning, I decided to have less of the rice and have almost all of the french toast! (2 plates?!!) ahahaaa...scrumptious, that's all I could say!!!

It was not my first visit at Ace, I used to hang out there with my friends couple of months back chilling out before all seem to be busy with work and other agenda...ye rite :p

The wine photos below, I took earlier while chilling with my peeps...definitely a nice cosy place for those who loves wines too....

Ace open for breakfast, lunch, hi-tea and dinner. For more info, contact Ronald @ 721 222Ace Cafe, Lot 53, Golf Garden, Jalan Bundusan, 88300 LuyangKota Kinabalu, Sabah

What'sHOT?: Old Pulteney Whiskey @ Vino Vino

I was doing some write up for next month promotion when Anne from D Junction suddenly called me up and asks me if I'm available for product testing. Since it almost reaches 6pm, I start packing up my things, clear off all documents on my desk and drove to Vino Vino, KK Times Square which is not that far from my office. Ughhh...though it's near but I hate the traffic jam during that particular hour....my gossssh!

So...the product test invitation was from Jimmy from Vino Vino for their new product Old Pulteney's single malt Scotch whiskey and I was like...oh whiskey...just what I need after working whole day in office!!! I can almost taste the whiskey glide smoothly in my throat while looking at the bottle…hahahaaa

Jimmy was so kind to spend some time to brief about the origin and taste of the whiskey as he poured Old Pulteney 12 Years Old on the rocks for me and Anne. I raised my glass a bit to have a look at the deep amber tone of the whiskey and started drinking it. It was a bit dry; the first taste that lingers in my mouth was a hint of toffee with a sweet after taste which I like….emmm….

Old Pulteney 12 Years Old is on promotion now where a bottle priced at RM200nett if you open it in Vino Vino while normal price is RM250nett per bottle.

If you happen to look for a warm comfy private place to chill while enjoying your favourite whiskey or wine to savour, why not include Vino Vino in your list…cheers ;)
