Euro House, Ipoh

Last Christmas I drove myself to Ipoh. Alone. #foreveralonepart2 The reason is because Euro House will be having a cosplay theme Christmas night. The co-owner of Euro House is my long time friend.

I reached Ipoh at about 11 p.m. on Friday 23rd Dec 2011. Took me 2 and a half hour, not thanks to the congested PLUS -__- I went to Euro House straight to look for my friend. I was greeted by a tower of Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc. It taste so much better than when I drank it here. Something wrong with the batch then?

The next day. Christmas Eve. Again, we went to Euro House that night for the countdown. This time we drank not only Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc but also Erdinger Drunkel. It's another taste on it's own. Very malty and a nice aroma from the roasted malt.

If you want premium beer in Ipoh, Euro House is the place you'll want to be at. It's very cozy here. There's even a Xbox 360 Kinetic here for customers to play with. You can even loan an iPad2 from Euro House to keep you busy.

Ever play Fruit Ninja on a LCD TV and you don't even have to touch the screen.

If you are spending more than RM200, you can even book their karaoke room. Yes, there's a karaoke room here and there's no head count charge.

The food here is very good too. I bet in Ipoh, Euro House is one of the better place for Western food. I had their Rib Eye Steak for Christmas menu. Oh, man, it's better than the Ship.

The salmon sashimi is damn fresh. The chef buy a whole salmon and cut it up himself rather than but those that's already cut. One of my recommended must order dish here.

Everyone seems to know everyone in Ipoh. The staffs there are very friendly and dedicated.

I just met Fish that night lol.

On Christmas day, yeah, it's the Cosplay Theme Night. I had my dinner before 7pm because I knew will drink a lot of Kronebourg and Erdinger Drunkel. I ordered their Rib Eye Steak and the Duck Ragu Salad.

The smoked duck is very well marinated and tender. The feta cheese with lettuce dress in balsamic vinegar. Yums. Too bad it's only available on the Christmas menu. Hope the chef will put it in their next menu.

Duck Ragu Salad

Words can describe how good the Rib Eye steak was. If it's not for the price, I would have thought I was eating Wagyu beef. Okay, maybe a little bit exaggerated but trust me it's damn tender the steak. Not to mention the portion is quite big too. Worth every penny.

If you come to Ipoh or come back to Ipoh. Make sure to drop by Euro House and see what this cozy bistro have to offer.

I will blog about the Cosplay Theme Christmas Night in another post. Meanwhile, guess who I went as?

I ate human meat before. Muahahaha.

Asahi Super "Dry" - Shift your Senses

I went to Double Tree again for another beer event.

This time is for a Japanese Premium beer. Asahi Super "Dry". The good news is that Carlsberg got the rights to brew the beer here in Malaysia in their brewery. So, we get the freshest Asahi Super "Dry" in ASEAN!

Asahi on a tap baby! Previously we can only get it in can and all the way from Japan. Now the beer only has to travel from Shah Alam. Fresh! The taste of it? Well, it's easy drinking without the bitterness and the after taste just a tiny bit of bitterness that one will be hard to notice.

It goes very well with tempura and calamari. So, if you are having Japanese food, try a glass of Asahi Super "Dry" draught and see the difference.

Oh, nearly forgot pics with pretty girls.

Good Food, Good Fun and Tiger Crystal

Last Thursday I went to a Tiger Crystal beer food pairing session at Italiannies.

Started with Clams in chili tomato puree kind of sauce. A bit of sourish with a tinge of spiciness. Down it with a bottle of Tiger Crystal. Ah......

Coming up. Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza. The cheese just melts in my mouth and the crust is thin, I like. Down it with a bottle of Tiger Crystal. Ahhhh.......

Next up. Sau-sa-geh with onion, chili and fried ikan bilis. One of Marcky's favourite of the night. Cool down the spiciness with a bottle of Tiger Crystal. Ahhhhhhhhh!!.......

Lamb rib cutlets were tender and charcoal grilled just nice. The mash potatoes is le creamy. Washed it all down the stomach with? Yes. Tiger Crystal beer of course. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!.....

Some spicy chick came up later. Mexican? Spanish? Italian? Who cares? It's one hell of a tender and spicy chicken. Did I just wrote spicy? What beer goes very well with spicy food? Tiger Crystal!!! Ahh...............................

What? We haven't finish yet? Seafood pasta. Fettuccine to be exact. Marcky favourite again minus the mussels lol.

Last but not least. Dessert. Some kind of bread. It's very nice too. We were able to almost finished two plates of this even after such a feast.

There are so much left. I tapaoed the chicken, Marcky chose the pasta and Ah Bok had the pizza but the waiter got the chicken and pizza mixed up. I ended up with the pizza (which can still be eaten after I left it for 4 days in the fridge) and Ah Bok took my chicken.

Just like the refreshingly different experience that only Tiger Crystal can deliver, Tiger Crystal is proud to bring its consumers an exciting opportunity through its “Refreshingly Different” Tiger Crystal Facebook photo contest. All they need to do is upload a photo of their most refreshingly different Tiger Crystal moment. The grand prize winner will walk away with a trip for two to the incredibly unique ICEHOTEL in Sweden, a hotel made entirely out of ice and snow. Contest begins on 10 November 2011 and will end on 10 December 2011.

Launch of GAB "The 9 Grand Treasures for the Year of the Dragon"

I've been attending a lot of beer events lately. Just last week I was at GAB's The Tavern for their launching for "The 9 Grand Treasures for the Year of the Dragon". I invited my date Jiayeen along with me because she haven't been to The Tavern before. After registering ourselves, we were given a very heavy goodies bag.

No wonder the goodies bag is heavy. Inside there are 8 cans of GAB's beers. 2 Guinness Foreign Extra, 2 Anchor Beer, 2 Heineken and 2 Tiger, two decks of playing cards and a dozen Guinness red envelopes. From the looks of these items, you would have guess that this promotion has something to do with the coming Chinese New Year in 2012.

The campaign kicks off on 15 December 2011 and will run right through to 6 February 2012. As part of the campaign, consumers of GAB’s iconic brands will have a hand at winning a 1-kilogram Golden Dragon statue, eight pieces of 100-gram Gold Dragon coins, and cash prizes that add to a total value of more than RM3.3 million.

To win the Golden Dragon statue and Gold Dragon coins, consumers just need to check the caps of any big bottle Tiger, Guinness, Heineken or Anchor, and look out for the colour of the bottle cap liner which will determine the prizes that they have won. The are 10,000 prizes each for CNY Playing Cards, cash RM0.99, and RM9. 1000 prizes for cash prize RM99, 100 prizes for 5g Gold Dragon coin, 10 prizes for 30g Gold Dragon coin, 8 prizes for 100g Gold Dragon coin and of course 1 grand prize, the 1KG Gold Dragon statue. There is a high chances to win something for everybody.

With the price of gold at it's height now, it's a good investment to try to win the gold dragons.

Ms. Yap Swee Leng, Marketing Director of GAB and Mr. Charles Ireland, Managing Director of GAB with the 9 Grand Treasures for the Year of the Dragon

Okay. Enough of the gold. Too tempting. That night I met Samantha and Tim again. Last I saw them both together was at a Tiger Beer event.

Samantha and Tim.

Samantha, me and Jiayeen.

Girls look more beautiful if the photos were taken using my Nikon S8100 digital camera as concurred by Samantha =P. Someone says my post only show pictures I took with girls. So, I'll show you some of the guys I met that night too. LOL.

It's been a while that I didn't bump into Robb.

Ah Bok as usual will bump into him in a GAB event.

So, remember from 15th December 2011 onwards till 6th Febuary 2012, go to any restaurant and buy a big bottle or two of Guinness or Anchor or Heineken or Tiger and you might hit the jackpot by winning the 1KG Gold Dragon Statue.

Kronenbourg 1664 Pre-Party of MIFW2011

Last week I went to Zeta Bar, Hilton KL for the Kronenbourg 1664 Pre-Party of MIFW2011. One of my favourite French beer. I tried the Blanc and found it a bit to citrus-sy. So, I stick with the original. By the way, MIFW2011 is on going now from 21-27 November.

Met some my my hot blogger friends there.

Everyone says hi to:

Oh, the finalists for Miss Universe Malaysia 2011 were there too. I managed to take picture with some of them. ;)

These are the models from Amber Chia Academy. I heard they are competing in a contest during MIFW2011.

Of course the principal of Amber Chia Academy was there too that night. She's as friendly as every.

It was a fun filled night and lots of good beer. Even Esther and Louise agreed with me =P
