What'cha looking at?

While I was taking shelter from the rain during my walk to Low Yat yesterday, I noticed that the central foyer at Pavilion was all cordoned off. A function was going to take place later that night, the Boh Cameronian Arts Awards from what I read.

The entrance to the foyer looked quite tacky though. As if staring at us, asking what we were looking at ……. Hmmmmm!

TWG Revisited

After almost a year, we returned for a spot of tea at Twining TWG at Pavilion. The place has certainly became more popular compared to the last time we were there, and there was actually a queue to get in - for sure as it was Saturday evening then. luckily we didn't have to wait for too long.

So, off we went onto a table of four. And we waited for almost ten minutes before we were attended to, despite indicating that we wanted to know a bit more about the tea on the menu. Unfortunately, the staff that came around later was a foreign worker who spoke bad English and basic Malay. I couldn't believe it that a restaurant of such caliber had staff who struggled to communicate. And sure enough, he got the order mixed up …..

We were not in the mood to argue and just took up what was offered - and he forgotten that we ordered for two pots as he brought only the one. We were quite surprised that we had enough teacups. Then came the tricky part when the tea was finished in the pot. Apparently the tea was brewed off the pot, so refilling with hot water would not do. So, just remember that there would be no refilling when your pots were done. You need to order another pot.

The food was not bad, as we just ordered light dinner. I had wagyu burger, which was well cooked - with a tea infused sauce of some sort. I had some cocktail - lychee with tea - which was a big mistake. It tasted …. disgusting!

So, even though the quality of the food and beverages were still up there, TWG would need to pay more attention to their service. Because after all, not everyone went there solely for the food. They would like to enjoy the ambiance as well ….. suffice to say that the visit did not go as I hoped for.

Runway Foyer

There was certainly plenty of things going on at Pavilion today. The central foyer had been transformed into a runway, and this afternoon just batter we arrived, the place was packed with then crowd having a look at what was going on?

Will this give me wings?

Me, I was more excited with the F1 cars and merchandise on the stalls. And what was the business with this Red Bull mini?

F1 but no Z10

I managed to make some time for myself this afternoon after my ward visit. So, what should I do? Pavilion it was. I wanted to have a look at the new Blackberry Z10. I haven't used Blackberry before in my life but there was something about the new model which appealed to me.

I had a couple of offers at Low Yat, but thinking about the hassle of getting myself another telco account, plus running out space on my trousers to arty another phone, I decided against it. The sad thing was, the vendors there were insistent on me buying one before they allowed me to have a feel of the phone, which I thought was defeating the point. Plan shelved.

Next, I loitered at the mall's foyer after lunch before heading home. It looked like the F1 fever was hitting town. The foyer was filled with F1 cars from yesteryears. A nice sight, and something to keep me snapping away on my camera. Shame that the tickets still cost a bomb!

CNY Slideshow

I wished that I had more time to spend walking about enjoying the decorations, but my schedule had been pretty tight. I ended up taking quick snaps here and there. But at least, I had the chance .....

The walk was documented here.
