Hit The Roof

A complete eating, drinking and playing experience is gonna kick-off real soon. It’s collectively called The Roof, and has five outlets that basically cover all angles.

A preview party took place on Saturday, tho the joint is still under construction. It’s located on the top floor of First Avenue building in Bandar Utama, PJ.

We had a few drinks at Score, the sports bar, before the tour. This place has pool, darts, and will feature beer deals and finger food.

Beside the sports bar is Play, a huge club with a capacity for 600. Definitely the largest one in these parts, and will see DJs and gigs takin place.

Signature will be a trendy gastro-lounge of 11,000 sq ft. There’ll also be stuff like cooking classes, weekend brunches and wine dinners.

Serving single malts and cigars is Malt & Leaf. There’ll be premium malts and cigars from around the world, and occupies a scenic corner with sunset views.

Malt & Leaf comin soon

The highlight (for me at least) is Stratosphere. Open-air partying, especially hundreds of meters high on a 360-degrees open rooftop, is sumtin else. The feel is awesome.

The Roof will definitely will create a major impact on the scene, and hopefully more events will move away from KL City to PJ. I cant recall exactly how many events i skipped coz it was in KL i was lazy to drive in. And joints like Vertigo might be in trouble.

Look out for the gradual opening full-operation of all the outlets over the next few weeks. However, it’s actually opening this weekend.

(Am assisting with The Roof’s marketing, so media keen on checking out the place and have some fun can reach me at deepklc@gmail.com.)

Guinness to get a new suit

Guinness Foreign Extra Stout (FES), the iconic strong stout, is gonna get a new look real soon, and it’s quite a change. It looks very modern actually. A radical move by Guinness.

The change will affect both the can and the bottles. They’ll be a lot blacker, that’s for sure.

It will be launched in November. But here’s a sneak peek, just a peek. Dont wanna spoil Guinness’s party!

Lucky guy

They’re a lot of silly things i wonder about, but one of ’em was this (coz i brew my own cider n see how fungi (yeast) attack any sugars and turn them to alcohol) — when we eat carbs or sugary stuff, shouldn’t that ferment in our stomach and tubes, albeit briefly, before being digested?

Coz there are fungal organisms and other stuff in our stomachs and guts. So there should be some alcohol being made down there. Eating should give us a slight buzz.

Well, yea, but not much. When we eat stuff with yeast in it, like bread and beer, the yeast end up in our pipes, but they usually go right through. In the case of this guy from Texas, the yeast decided to stick around, literally.

So whenever he had carbs or soda, the yeast would do its thing and make… alcohol! Which he promptly digests into his bloodstream. He regularly showed up at the ER with a BAC of up to .37, which is drunk. .08 is the driving limit.

After research, doctors realized he had an overabundance of brewers yeast in his tract which was making him dunk everytime he ate carbs.

How convenient. That’s what i call a goddam beer gut.

DIY booze takes on a whole new meanng

The guy has an infection called Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

So it’s called an infection?? I call it a feature.

Auto-brew syndrome? Haha

But after serious contemplation, I wouldn’t wanna be that guy.

It can get tiresome. Being drunk all day. Everyday. By yourself. Even when hungover. And driving. And working. And watching TV. And screwing.

Me? I’d rather be high when i wanna be high.

So, who’s got the balls to go munch on a brick of brewers yeast now?

GAB’s Oktoberfest

A full-on party went down at Tujo (formerly known as 789) at Ascott last week, when GAB launched their Oktoberfest, season 2013. Complete with a prince.

We tried to get the prince drunk, but he wasn’t a great drinker.

We all kinda know what Oktoberfest is. It’s drinking season.

Coz Prince Ludwig got married centuries ago. He showed up at Tujo though, looking all undead. With Princess Therese. Who’s hotter than him.

The party was lotsa fun, with mug-holding challenges too. The one-litre ceramic mugs for this season look good, and weigh a kilo. So if you hold three filled with beer, that’s six kilos per hand. Tough.

Nice

Food was good, and so was the band. Tried to get them drunk too.

Lotsa Paulaner Okotberfest Bier to go round.

There’s gonna be a series of 14 historically-themed parties nationwide. Score your own mug till Nov 3 – the first refill is free! Definitely the best mug they’ve produced so far.
