Amazing Thai Food Promo @ Putrajaya Shangri-La

Filed Under Food

On the 20^th May, I stepped into Putrajaya Shangri-La and had a shock of my life as I was greeted not by 1 or 2 officers from the hotel but 4! I felt like a VIP walking into there and was promptly ushered to the registration counter to get myself registered. I later found out that I got into the hotel at the same time as the Thai Ambassador and they gave me the same treatment as they gave to him.

The invited guests at the venue was then served with a glass of Takhrai as the welcome drink, very refreshing drink blended from Lemongrass, Honey, Lime Juice and Soda. The event kicked off with speeches from the General Manager of Putrajaya Shangri-La, Mr. C. V. Healy and His Excellency Piyawat Niyomrerks.

You can tell how hungry the guests was when straight after the G.M. and the Thai Ambassador officiate the event, lines after lines of hungry guests appeared at all the buffet station. As for myself, I helped myself to first, the Peek Gai Thod – Deep Fried Chicken Wing. I guess the whole process of officiating the event was a tad too long until it grew cold. Didn’t like it at all as the meat was tough to bite into.

The next was this nice spoonful of Baby Octopus, it was fresh yet the preparation was quite similar to the way we would have it in a typical Japanese Restaurant. I picked it up cause it looked cute and it looked like it was saying “Please don’t eat me!”.

Phad Phak Ruam or better known as Stir Fried Vegetables with Oyster Sauce, it’s quite a typical dish that you can get everywhere but it’s very different in every restaurants too. At Shangri-La, the preparation was just perfect as the vegetables used was fresh and cooked to the right texture.

Ending the trip there, I helped myself to a bowlful of Ice Kacang topped with Chocolate Ice Cream. It’s not exactly Thai style as I get to pick and choose what I want to put into the bowl but it’s still quite nice nevertheless.

If you are looking for a place to head to for a nice weekend lunch or dinner, take a trip down to Putrajaya Shangri-La and try out their Amazing Thai Food Promotion. You’ll also be entertained with Cultural dance from Thailand. You can see the food that’s on the buffet line here.

Pre-Wedding Photography -

Filed Under Photography

On 29th, the team from Eternalshots.com head over to Putrajaya in search of a nice place for us to do some pre-wedding photography. For me, I’m just tagging along to do some video work but me being me, I took my Canon dSLR along with me. Yes, mostly I do the video work and leave the photography work to the more experienced in the team.

It was a tiring trip for me, not because of the journey but because of the lack of sleep. After partying hard at Zouk and having an early morning supper/breakfast, I barely had… wait… I DIDN’T have any sleep at all.

Anyway, these ain’t professionally done shots as no heavy photoshop skills (I’m more towards graphics not photo touch-up) was put on it. 4 of the favorites I presume as these four shots are the most commented on my Facebook. Why don’t you share with me on what you think of these photographs? And if you’re one of those that’s getting married around the corner and is looking for wedding photographers. Just drop me a note and we can work out something. (Doing a quick promo for my team)
