Dats right, it’s the sequel of Thirsty Sunday, which i attended last year. This time the event has no beer-tasting, but there’s food – bbq to be exact; and cheap lagers and ales, including weissbier (draft). Takes place at bakita on Changkat Bukit Bintang from 2.30pm to 7pm.
Easter Sunday will never be the same again.
Afternoon drinks? For sure!
COCKTALES has just turned two. Happy birthday, u alcoblog.
Over the course of the last one year, there’ve been a few developments related to the blog. My first talk over podcast was last year with the Om Nom Cast entitled “The Yelstin Boogie“, which is also d name my house cocktail. (This show is now a food cast that’s now the Om Nom Show on Bfm.)
This was followed coupla months ago with the KLue Foodcast, titled “Spirit-ual Guidance.” Haha.
There was also a piece i did for New Man mag on the best 24 beers in Malaysia. And i did an opinion piece for The Last Word column in JUICE, entitled Not So Smart, Are You?, which basically is about how some Malaysian drinkers are real suckers as consumers.
If things work out, I’ll have a regular alcohol column in a magazine soon.
Am i doing another crazy party to mark the anniversary?? Haha! Dont know, haven’t decided. Am tempted. Very tempted. If i get booze sponsors again, then probably.
Last year's special
You guys, as readers, are entitled to gimme your opinions about the blog (whether i givashit remains to be seen!). Just go to the sidebar on the right – I’ve started a poll to allow yall to have a say on what u’d like to see here, besides naked women that is.
Also, have just created a new fan page on Facebook today, to better interact n all. That page will feature latest posts, as well as booze promos and other more minor stuff that sometimes dont appear on d blog. No need to suggest d page to your friends and bother them. Unless they’re alcos like you. U can go ahead and like it here.
Anyway, hope i’ve helped in some way to provide news and information, and even a lil education about alcohol. We’re always learning, right?
Another bar will be opening along Rahim Kajai in Tmn Tun, called Chip n Dale.
Gettin set
Operations shd commence soon, and it will be open from 11am. It will be a GAB outlet, and specializing in cocktails. Food is non-halal, with pork as well.
Will keep yall posted.
At Bedroom Club in Pavilion KL last Thursday, a new vodka hit our shores, created by Michel Adam, founder of Fashion TV: The “Elixir of fashion”, F. Vodka.
Taken neat, it’s kinda sweet n a lil rough. Reasonably ok for shots.
But then again, some people probably consider themselves too cool for neat vodka.
Mmm mmh.... Fresh meattt
Its quadrupled-distilled in Poland from fine Polish wheat & rye, with water from artesian wells. The vodka (and the eagle wings logo) is based on a traditional recipe served to the White Eagle Legion in the American War of Independence, 1783.
Must have been an interesting war.
RRP is between $168 and $200 retail, above $300 in outlets. However, it’s exclusive to Bedroom for the next two months. It’s brought in by TWE.
More options in d market, better for consumers
The F Vodka party started a lil slow, but was soon heaving. Cool funk house tunes, none of ’em cheesy electro shite. And before i realized it or aimed for it, i was pretty gone. Must have been the shots. Thanks Vince.
Dont remember much bout gettin home! I guess that’s what happens when u forget to eat.
Service with a smile
That’s three Thursday nights in a row that i been bent, rather than Fri/Sat.
What’s goin on??
Refreshing hits
Last Thu was the F party, Thursday before that by buddy Paulie wuz in town, and we started at 6pm @ Overtime in Kota Damansara. Decent happy hours – about $35 for two pints of Starker unfiltered beer before 7pm.
Bring it, dont stop
Then shifted butts two minutes away to Movida, for an even more amazing deal. $36 nett for your first Kilkenny/Guinness, then a buck each for the next two! So 38 bucks for three. And the rounds kept comin!
So bengkok there. Pushed on to Frendscino in Damansara Perdana, where on Thursday, two pints of Erdinger are $40 nett.
Tall ones
Followed by Es Para Ti for some Jack Daniels. And Jagerbombs (yuck), then Tom Dick & Harry’s for Franziskaner ales. A nice tour over five outlets in one evening. Number of drinks: Uncountable.
Me n Paulie had a major brown-out.
The previous Thursday i randomly strolled into 42East in TTDI, unsure what was up – some Jose Cuervo cocktail promotion. I ended up havin three pints of weissbier, six cocktails, and six tequila shots, including the 1800. Yummy!
Some really interesting tequila cocktails were featured by the distributor Fortier via Remy Cointreau. Will talk about them later.
There’s actually a Jose Cuervo margharita ‘Slurpee’ machine behind d bar. I’ll be featuring 42East soon.
Thursday became the new Friday. Hopefully not dis week.
Brain damage: 8/10
