Ecoba (7710-1118), a restaurant & bar, recently joined the PJ drinkin scene.

N

Ecoba (not Ecobar), is located in D’sara Perdana, at PJ Trade Center (Bata Tower) along d LDP. ECO stands for “Eat, Chill, Oogle”, tho am sure they mean ogle, coz there’s no word spelt oogle.

Headed there for the soft launch, and indulged in some Dewar’s, which soon ran out.

Ecoba occupies a ground floor outlet

It’s got a pretty large space, and an outdoor section with bean bags n shit.

The outlet’s open from 11am daily. There’s happy hours (until 9) and the cheaper chill hours (before 6). Dats when 2 pints of Hoegaarden is $40. Ladies get free booze on Wednesdays.

There’re also deals on liquor – like $450  for two bottles of Dewar’s. More details on promos here. Cool thing is, all prices are nett.

From my observation of the scene, its probably gonna compete for The Library crowd.

Bean bag fest

There’s a beer-drinking competition every Monday (Carlsberg Centurion Challenge). Down 100 shots of beer in 100 mins and get $1,800 CASH and a bottle of Skyy. Sweet deal, real sweet. I’d go for it but beer makes me fuckin piss like hell. Ur not allowed to piss or puke.

My bladder will probably explode and tear my jeans n splatter piss and flesh on everybody’s faces. Uncool.

The buy-in is $188, and its limited to 10 pax. All winners get d prize. U need to register early as its full pretty quick. No lightweights, wannabes and emo-drinkers.

NOTE: Update – The challenge is now known as Elimination Centurion Challenge. Max 10 challengers. Each challenger takes a turn to call how many shots in a minute to drink (max 10 shooters per min). Once called, all must follow.  The trick to win max money is to eliminate your opponents. Each person is worth RM100. If you eliminate all… & you finish 100 shots, you walk away with $1800 (+ $900)  = $2700.

Thirsty Irishman

Whats the largest glass of booze u ever had? Mine was a bucket-sized glass of Hoegaarden, but it was shared.

Some Irish dude ordered a pint in California – an 8 feet high one. Haha! It was probably a publicity stunt for Guinness.

Dis d only picture tho, tiny one.

There’s a video of the logistics and the event at the Irish bar right here. (If u wanna watch it pour, its from the 4th minute. Warning: Will induce thirst.)

Its filled with more than 1,000 litres of booze, ie, more than a ton! This glass of Guinness would earn it a place in the Guinness Book of Records as d largest in d world. Looks like they hooked plumbing to about 20 barrels at once n let it squirt.

Sure would have luved to jump into the glass to skinny dip and drink at d same time.

If GAB Malaysia ever needs a volunteer swimmer for such a stunt, i’m it! Just throw some meat in every coupla days.

Went down at The Pier in Tmn Tun.

Pretty insane. I was more smashed at dis anniversary than d blog launch itself.

Mari mari!

Thanks to Michael, the manager at The Pier, and Riche Monde, for sponsoring a case of Smirnoff Black. Wouldnt have been possible without them.
Dat afternoon, after sorting out 15 coconuts, we were at The Pier, kickin off with beers.

Early Birds Club consisted of i, my bro, Henry, Ovidia & Mark.

EBC in session, 530pm

Made a shitload of punch then started more serious drinking, as Mark walks in with a special bottle of Bundaberg Overproof Rum.

Proud daddy

At 1.125 liters and 57.5% ABV, it’s a proper kick in da ass. Last time he gave me a bottle it was a Cordon Bleu!

No idea wtf a polar bear has gotta do with anythin

Warmin up

Party officially started at 7, but by then they were quite a few people already gettin senget. Number one drink was d Bundaberg and Kelapa Rock. There was tons of coconut water to go with the Smirnoffs, so am assuming this and d punch got most folks wasted.

Kelapa or Kepala? Both oso can

.

Russian punch!

Russian punch!

 

Guests start to pour in. No sweat. By keeping the set-up mostly self-service, i didnt have to do much, cept drink!

Special guest stars of d nite, Trish & Mo, my sista's twins

After we went thru 12 bottles of Smirnoff Black (tx Shirley!), a bottle of Bundaberg, three bottles of moonshine, a bottle of Bombay Sapphire (tx Louise), a case of Stella (tx Jess), a litre of Glenfiddich (tx bro), a liter of Famous Grouse, five liters of cider, and a bottle of Blavod, d party was rockin!

I mean, dats 20 bottles.

The Pier’s snacks helped us along. Especially the calamari rings! They’re said to serve some mean grilled tiger prawns too.

Michael, the manager, tried to shove a Flaming Lamborghini into me, but i deflected it to birthday boy Max. Sorry cant layan dat drink.

With Anni, d nite's photographer. Thankfully dis time d 'official' photographer didnt collapse, like at d blog launch

Black vodka

Dont recall d party ending! According to reports i moved on to Sid’s and had a couple of pints of Guinness before heading home, totalled! Haha. I think my stomach has grown by a few inches.

Thanks everyone who contributed, and those who partied! See yall at d next event (will think of sumtin!)

Salud!
