RESILIENCE 

EDITOR’S NOTE 

The year 2020 has brought with it many surprises. 

However it’s become a symbol of our courage in 

braving the storms in life. It is now more pertinent than 

ever to have hope, love and resilience to share that 

spark of humanity with the people in our hearts, and 

the people on the street. 

It is with this mindset that we are calling this the Love 

Issue. Our cover subject Marsha Milan Londoh talks 

about the importance of family love; she calls her 

Tropicana home a sanctuary where she can find bliss 

after a long day at work. 

That’s why we’re also featuring a splash of Tropicana 

havens, from the urban jungles of KL to the warm sands 

of Langkawi. These exclusive glimpses at the luxurious 

homes and vacation spots will take you on a journey of 

discovery with every location dear to our hearts. 

This year’s Valentine’s Day is so closely intertwined 

with Chinese New Year, it is literally the best of both 

worlds. To put you in the mood for all things Oriental, 

we shot an exclusive fashion spread featuring Amber 

Chia modelling the best of Malaysian designers. We 

also put together a handy Chinese horoscope guide for 

you to peruse and live by. 

When you flip through the pages, you’ll also notice 

changes in terms of how we present our stories. We 

hope that our new content and layout will prove to be 

more engaging, relevant and dynamic for you, dear 

reader. Ultimately, it is a labour of love from us to you. 

Happy Valentine’s Day and Gong Xi Fa Cai! Take care, 

stay safe and see you next time.

the time for rebuilding has come.

1984, 1996, 2008) 

Has a promising year 

ahead, with excellent 

success and the Rat is 

notorious for being able to 

eke out a living whatever 

the circumstances. The 

Rat in an Ox Year benefits 

from it being the year of 

your astrological secret 

friend and soul mate. 

ALL Rats in 2021 benefit 

from having the image of 

the Rat and Ox together. 

Your biggest success 

this year will stem from 

receiving help from others, 

and knowing the right 

people can open big doors 

for you. Do not let your 

ego be your worst enemy. 

The more humble you are, 

the more you stand to 

gain! 

OX

70% Wealth 


60% Health 

(1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 

1985, 1997, 2009) 

Ox is the ruling sign 

of the year and has 

the backing of the 

God of the Year – the 

Tai Sui. Your home 

sector plays host to 

the Future Prosperity 

Star, indicating that for 

you, this is a good time 

to build for the future. 

Always think long term. 

Do not forgo long term 

gains for short term 

pleasures. Persistence 

will be your biggest 

asset, and luckily for 

you, staying power is an 

inherent character trait 

for the Ox! 

TIGER

50% Wealth 


60% Health 

(1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 

1986, 1998, 2010) 

The Tiger has plenty of 

potential hidden wealth 

this year, so others will 

benefit from hooking 

up with you in projects, 

partnerships and anything 

else of this nature. Passion 

epitomises your being, 

so finding things you are 

passionate about is what 

drives you. Do not expect 

immediate success, but dig 

for what really makes you 

tick; and when you find it, 

give it your all! 

1987, 1999, 2011) 

Rabbit enjoys romance 

and relationship luck! 

Those of you seeking love 

find it easily and readily, 

and if you are looking 

to get married, this is an 

auspicious year to do so! 

The Rabbit also sees the 

arrival of many helpful 

people able and willing 

to help you. Do not turn 

away overtures from 

others as allying yourself 

with the right people will 

fast-track your route to 

success. There are some 

afflictions to overcome, 

but your inner power 

is strong, which helps 

you to weather minor 

disappointments that 

surface. Stay resolute 

and do not let temporary 

setbacks cause you to give 

up.


DRAGON

60% Wealth 


60% Health 

(1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 

1988, 2000, 2012) 

A year when you can go 

after the really big dreams 

as you have big potential. 

While you will encounter 

some challenges and 

obstacles, you will be able 

to overcome them with 

the right attitude. Many of 

you will meet up with new 

opportunities – and while 

you may feel enthusiastic 

about many of them, do 

not spread yourself too 

thin. Focusing on a few 

bring better outcomes 

than trying to take on too 

much. 

SNAKE

70% Wealth 


70% Health 

(1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 

1989, 2001, 2013) 

Snake is in for a much 

better year! You have 

lucky stars, and your 

strength this year will 

come from your creativity 

and resourcefulness. Keep 

striving to think outside 

of the box. Continuing the 

tread the well-trodden 

path will unfortunately 

not allow you to unlock 

your full potential. So be 

brave and try new things! 

Do not allow yourself 

to be discouraged by 

past experiences or the 

opinions of others. This 

is a year when you are 

strong and when every 

cloud has a silver lining. 

Carry amulets to transform 

obstacles into outstanding 

opportunities. 

HORSE

60% Wealth 


60% Health 

(1942, 1954, 1966, 1978, 

1990, 2002, 2014) 

This is really your year! 

Various lucky stars visits, 

and help magically 

arrives whenever you 

need it. Do not turn away 

opportunities that come 

your way, because some 

will hold the key to those 

big breaks you have been 

hoping for. There is no 

need to be overly fixated 

on certain ideas; learn to 

go with the flow. What 

you considered important 

in the past may no longer 

hold so much significance 

now. Allow yourself to 

adapt, in the comfort 

that the unknown holds 

the promise of a lot of 

success, and happiness. 

SHEEP

60% Wealth 


70% Health 

(1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 

1991, 2003, 2015) 

While there are some 

lucky stars in your chart, 

there are elements of 

quarrelsomeness that 

you will need to keep 

under control. Do not 

let your temper get the 

better of you – you do 

not need to win every 

fight. In fact, losing can 

be a kind of winning this 

year. Maintaining the 

peace and keeping strong 

relationships is far more 

important than any form 

of verbal or proverbial 

victory.

One of the luckiest signs

fabulous element luck 

which gives you the 

impetus to go after really 

big success. Do not let 

temporary setbacks make 

you lose steam. Positive 

stars visit this year, 

bringing both money and 

leadership luck, so those in 

managerial or leadership 

roles can inspire great 

loyalty and achievements 

among your subordinates. 

1994, 2006, 2018) 

Find a noble cause and 

you can move mountains! 

This is not a year to 

complain or focus on 

negativity, as success 

will come to those who 

stays focused on the task 

at hand. If you believe 

in something, do not let 

anyone talk you out of 

it. Sometimes it benefits 

to “go with the flow” but 

this year you need to 

occasionally stand your 

ground. As long as you 

do not allow yourself to 

become too laid back, 

there is ample success to 

be found.

Keep a positive attitude

focused on getting the 

job done. While the 

year brings you some 

unfortunate stars, there 

will be periods of good 

luck that will help you 

make this a memorable 

year. This is not a year for 

you to take any sort of 

risks so do refrain from 

gambling, or speculating 

in the stock market. Do 

not take big risks when it 

comes to money!

A DOUBLE AWARDS TRIUMPH 

FOR TROPICANA 

38 

Tropicana Corporation Berhad recently wrapped up the past 

year with a symbolic victory with not one, but two awards of 

excellence in property development, marking a positive 

affirmation of their triumphs over the challenges of the past 

year. The awards were given by the prestigious The Edge 

Malaysia Top Property Developer Awards and The 

StarProperty Awards for the year of 2020. 

Dion Tan, Tropicana’s Group Managing Director attributed 

the company’s success to their integrated developments and 

customer-focused approach, and credited the double win to 

the group. 

“We are truly honoured to receive these prestigious awards 

from The Edge and The Star. Our success at these awards 

demonstrates that Tropicana is committed to delivering 

quality and innovative developments. Big thanks go to our 

Tropicana Team; we couldn’t have done it without you! 

Moving forward, we will continue to engage with our 

customers through various platforms, specially on the digital 

front, and roll out more customer-centric developments in 

the future.” he shared. 

The prestigious Edge Malaysia Top Property Developer 

Awards 2020 judged the country’s best developers 

holistically on the grounds of their qualitative and 

quantitative achievements to decide on the top 10 ranking 

for the nation’s Top Property Developers. Tropicana landed 

the 9th spot in the coveted awards, lending more credence 

to the company’s belief in creating developments that 

redefine the art of living. 

The StarProperty National Awards 2020 have also 

announced the big win for Tropicana Corporation Berhad for 

Best Overall Champion in the StarProperty All-Stars Awards 

category, judged by the company’s yearly performance as 

well as The Business Estate Excellence Award for 

outstanding commercial development to Tropicana Gardens, 

the integrated mixed development offering residential 

towers and an office tower seated atop the largest 

neighbourhood mall at Kota Damansara. 

Moving forward, Tropicana continues to be agile, heeding the 

paradigm shift. The group is now emphasising on digital 

marketing initiatives and virtual events to engage its 

broad-based customers. Tropicana started its digitalisation 

journey years ago and will continue their digital 

transformation drive. Their total land bank stood at 2,344.0 

acres, with a total potential GDV of RM80.0 billion, placing 

the Group in a good position to unlock the value of its 

strategic landbank and deliver sustainable earnings in the 

next few years.

CHRISTMAS REVELRY 

FOR CHILDREN 

The senior management of Tropicana took time off to host a festive celebration for 35 children from the Light House Welfare Home Association. Seen here, Dion Tan 

(fourth from right), Jared Ethan Ang (seventh from right), and Joanne Lee (second from right) distributing gifts to the children while practicing social distancing 

The festive season this year might be more subdued, but 

Tropicana did not let its spirit of caring and giving dim. 

Practicing social distancing, Tropicana hosted a small yet 

festive celebration for 35 children from the Light House 

Welfare Home Association. 

40 

Tropicana spread joy and cheer by hosting lunch complemented 

by lively entertainment from Santa Claus and his 

dancers. On top of these, Tropicana also donated essential 

groceries for the home and new books, toys, and school bags 

for the children. 

Dion Tan, Tropicana’s Group Managing Director underlined 

the importance of spreading Christmas cheers especially to 

those affected by the pandemic this year. More so to the 

underprivileged communities that are badly hit. 

“If there is a time to show the true meaning of Christmas – 

the spirit of giving, caring, and spreading joy – it’s this year. 

For many years, we have championed our charity drive and 

the spirit of giving is always close to our hearts. This year is 

no exception, albeit a smaller group to adhere to the social 

distancing guidelines. Led by our charity arm, the Tropicana 

Foundation, our mission is to support the underprivileged 

community. We believe that even a small act has a big impact. 

Looking at the happy faces of the children, we are glad to 

host this event,” he said. 

Present at the event to give away Christmas presents to the 

children were Dion Tan, accompanied by Jared Ethan Ang, 

Group Executive Director of Tropicana and Joanne Lee, 

Managing Director of Tropicana Marketing & Sales division. 

The event was held at Tropicana Gardens Mall, the biggest 

neighbourhood mall nestled at the heart of Kota Damansara 

and flanked by the popular Tropicana Golf & Country Resort 

and Tropicana Indah Resort Homes.

HAVEN 

HOME IS HER 

Away from the hectic schedule of showbiz, Marsha Milan Londoh finds 

bliss in her heavenly abode at Tropicana.


MARSHA AT A 

GLANCE 

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION: 

“This new year has 

infused me with renewed 

determination. I want to love 

myself more and be better 

and stronger in every aspect 

of my life.” 

FAVOURITE MUSIC: “I’ve 

always loved 90s R&B 

music! I am a bit old school 

… growing up listening 

to that particular genre 

has influenced my music 

direction.” 

DREAM ROLE: “I already 

snagged my dream role, 

which was to play a hantu 

(ghost)! It was challenging 

as it was my first time trying 

out heavy make-up and being 

rigged up (for flying scenes). 

There were times I felt like 

giving up because of the 

long hours but I persevered. 

That experience taught me 

to be matured not only in my 

acting career 

but life as a whole.” 

HER SENSE OF STYLE: “I 

would describe my fashion 

sense as classy yet simple. 

Although I may be dolled up 

during shows or events, it’s 

always denim and white shirt 

on casual days. I love timeless 

fashion that is still relevant 

after a decade or more.” 

ADVICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE 

KEEN ON SHOWBIZ: “They 

have to figure out whether 

this is what they really want. 

It’s an exciting journey, filled 

with many ups and downs. 

There will be times when they 

question their self-worth but 

as long as they’re doing their 

best, they should not be hard 

on themselves. Experiences 

gained are part of life’s 

lessons.”

JAN/FEB 2021 COVER STORY 

As a popular actress-singer, Marsha Milan Londoh often 

works long hours on movie and TV sets. Once filming is 

wrapped, she looks forward to returning to Tropicana 

Golf & Country Resort, where she can finally retreat to 

a sanctuary of her own. “After a long day of shooting, I 

love coming home to a quiet and peaceful environment,” 

muses Marsha. “The view is absolutely stunning; I 

especially like the scenery from my bedroom where I can 

see the lake and golf course.” 

Married to businessman Mohamed Shaiful Nizam Ismail 

since 2015, Marsha moved to Tropicana with her in-laws 

in 2018. Their property is spacious and luxurious yet 

cosy, with Moroccan and European touches evident in 

the interior. Marsha considers the living room as her 

favourite section of the house, as this is where a grand 

piano sits. “I bought this piano with my pay cheque 

and it has continued to serve me well. When inspiration 

strikes, this is where I will be, composing new songs.” 

Marsha also enjoys spending time in the kitchen. “I love 

baking and cooking and trying out new recipes. It makes 

me reminiscent of the times I spent with my mum in the 

kitchen. I may not have much time to cook since I am 

constantly away from home for work but whenever I do 

try something new, my husband will definitely be the 

first ‘victim’,” she says with a laugh. 

For Marsha, singing has always been her first love. “I 

started singing in public since I was three or four years 

old but never took it seriously until I joined Akademi 

Fantasia in 2005. 

Besides her showbiz endeavours, Marsha is passionate 

about giving back to society. Every year, Marsha and her 

best friend Velvet Aduk collaborates on CSR projects 

in the month of May. In the past, they have released 

singles Sumandak Sabah and Oi Gaman to promote their 

Sabahan culture. 

“When Velvet and I were in the midst of producing our 

new song Insan Tadau (which means One Day), we 

found out about the ‘IKHLAS for Sabah’ digital donation 

drive,” explains Marsha. Through the song, Marsha hopes 

to encourage more people to donate to the campaign 

at ikhlas.com. The initiative aims to help communities in 

Sabah, which was at one point the state with the highest 

cases of Covid-19 infection in the country. 

44 

Marsha, who is Sabahan, rose to fame after coming in 

fourth in Astro’s popular reality show Akademi Fantasia 

(Season 3) in 2005. She delved into acting that same 

year, starring in a string of TV series including K.I.T.A, 

Hotel Mania, Berita Hangit, Duri Di Hati and Benci VS 

Cinta. She was also in movies like Magika (2009), 4 

Madu (2009), Cun (2011) and Jwanita (2015). Marsha 

was the voice of Elsa in the local version of Disney’s 

Frozen and sang the blockbuster track Bebaskan (Malay 

version of Let It Go). 

Speaking of the pandemic, Marsha is self-reflective on 

the challenging year that was 2020. “It has impacted 

all of us and pushed me out of my comfort zone; I am 

always learning new things online. The biggest lesson for 

me is to not take things for granted and to appreciate 

what we have. It’s been a year since I last saw my 

parents who are in Sabah. We are constantly in touch via 

WhatsApp and video calls but it’s not the same as hugs 

and kisses in real life.” 

Like the rest of us, Marsha has high hopes for the year 

ahead. “I acted in horror thriller Rahsia which was held 

back because of the pandemic; hopefully it will finally be 

released in 2021. I am currently shooting drama series 

Rindu Awak Separuh Nyawa which will be completed in 

February. I am also hosting a new exercise programme 

titled Diari Fit. So, yes, it will be a very busy year for me! 

Work fulfils me and at the end of the day, I get to return 

to this home which I call my haven.”

JAN/FEB 2021 D.I.Y

GOH-ING D.I.Y 

This issue, we spoke to Tropicana homeowner Mr Goh Tien Hock on his 

passion for upgrading his homes with a personal touch. 

What inspires you to do these home improvements and how long does it take to complete a project? 

In the beginning, I had downloaded the Pinterest App on my phone, browsing through the app I had gotten many many ideas, 

actually far too many that I eventually deleted the app. For inspiration, and if it was something that I was not familiar with, 

Youtube came to the rescue. I would say that 80% of what I have learned recently is from Youtube. And I’m fortunate to live in 

Kuantan where land is abundant and I have a large enough car porch to play around with my woodworking. But to me, it is not 

a hobby but a means to an end. If I need a bench, then I make one myself.


This is how it all started, a few years back when my wife was 

bingeing on Korean dramas when we got the keys to our 

units at Arnica, the first block at Tropicana Gardens. She had 

suggested that we do a “Korean Styled” apartment, whatever 

that means...... So we had engaged an interior designer to 

come up with the designs. Incorporated with the design was 

wainscotting as feature walls. But the price quoted by the 

carpenter was over RM10,000.00 to Wainscott just four walls. 

So one fine day I went on Youtube and searched on the subject. 

Watched a few videos and thought to myself, I could do this 

too. Over the next few days, I went sourcing for the materials 

and tools needed. Paint, Glue, Wood Trim, Compressor, Circular 

Saw, Pneumatic Nail Gun, Acrylic Gap Filler and Laser Level 

just for this one project. The Wood Trim alone cost me about 

RM1,200.00 and the rest about RM2000.00. And the bulk of 

that RM2,000.00 consisted of tools that I could use for future 

projects. And remember, I was quoted RM10k for just four 

feature walls. What I ended up doing for my unit was six feature 

walls for far less than half what I had been quoted. 

I did the measuring and cutting of the Wood Trim here in 

Kuantan, which took about one day, then drove it down 

to Tropicana Gardens in Kota Damansara to be glued and 

nailed onto the walls and then painted which took me 

two days to complete, working from morning till well past 

midnight alone. I had enjoyed doing it so much that I did 

the same for another one of my units two weeks after that 

and also for a friends unit in the same building another few 

weeks after that. 

And that was the start of me playing around with 

woodworking. Since then I have made many other things 

from wooden wall panels, jewellery boxes, valet trays, toy 

chests, shoe racks, tables and chairs even. Most projects I try 

to complete within one day or a maximum of three. As the 

wood would be strewn all over my car porch and there would 

be sawdust everywhere, so I try to complete each piece as 

quickly as I can, so that I can clean the mess up after. 

As a Tropicana homeowner, what elements do you wish to 

see in our future properties? 

From my first Tropicana property at TR1/1 to Tropics, 

Tropicana Avenue, Tropicana Metropark and Tropicana 

Gardens. I can see the evolution of their products. They have 

not disappointed me yet and I am very happy to continue 

to support Tropicana Bhd in their future projects as well. So, 

for this question, I find myself having to keep up with this 

evolution and innovation. And I hope to see Tropicana Bhd 

continues to churn out better products with each new launch. 

But to give specific points on what I hope to see, I find it 

difficult as I am a satisfied customer over and over again, 

with what had been given for what I have paid.

LIFE AT HOME FOR 

SJIIM STUDENTS 

In 2020, the Covid pandemic has affected life for everyone all over the world. With the lockdowns 

and movement controls in place, students at the St Joseph’s Institution International School 

Malaysia have their classes remotely from home. We asked our student, James what he thought 

about his lessons and daily life during this new normal. 

1. What’s your daily routine during the MCO period, and any new hobbies? 

My typical routine consists of getting up and going jogging with my sister and my mom. Then, I have 

my shower, get some breakfast and get ready to start Zooming. I have two lessons, and then I have 

a break at 10:00 am. I tend to play in my house for a bit and then I get ready for PE. After PE, I have 

another Mandarin lesson. During lunch, I like to listen to audiobooks or read my book or practise 

48


some maths while I eat. My afternoon lessons are usually IPC, and then a short PE lesson. At about 

4:30, I play on my bike or my scooter with my condo neighbour friends. I really enjoyed getting to 

know them. I also had some tennis lessons, which is a new sport for me. During the MCO my family 

and I spent two days painting a picture of the view from our balcony at Tropicana Grande. 

2. How do you like your study experience at SJIIM? 

At SJIIM, I like how the teachers treat everyone equally and make us feel like we should try 

our best for them. I really appreciate all of the opportunities I have had while at school - doing 

Singapore Maths competitions, going on the Penang Sports trip and singing on stage in our 

production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 

Name : James Fedorowicz 

Age : 11 

Total of years at SJIIM : 4 years 

49

JAN/FEB 2021 EDUCATION 

I miss school! I can’t see all of my friends 

and interact with them socially like I used 

to before. Also, lessons at school are even 

more fun than virtual school, because 

at school there is more cool equipment 

(like for PE, Art and Science lessons) and 

not everyone has access to all of those 

materials at home.

JAN/FEB 2021 LIFE HACKS


5 EASY 

LIFE HACKS 

FOR YOUR HOME 

HOW about learning some quick and easy life hacks 

that are practical, minimal cost and saves you time? 

By tweaking the smallest things in our daily life, it can 

make life much more convenient! 

We scoured the world wide web and social media to 

compile this list of the most practical life hacks so you 

can try any of them right away! 

Clean the showerhead 

To clean your shower head or bathroom faucets, simply 

fill a plastic bag with white vinegar and secure it to the 

showerhead with a rubber band. Allow the showerhead to 

soak in the vinegar overnight, and remove the bag. Now you 

can have a clean showerhead looking as good as new. 

Removing fridge smell 

Soak a few cotton balls in lemon juice and use these to 

wipe down the interior of your refrigerator. The lemon 

juice will create a pleasant fragrance. Every so often, 

place a few slices of lemon on a plate and leave them 

to sit inside your fridge. They will soak up unpleasant 

scents and keep your fridge smelling great. 

Smelly shoe solution 

Getting rid of bad-smelling shoes can never be any 

easier. Place a few dry tea bags inside each shoe to 

absorb the smell. If your shoes are not just smelly but 

also wet, fill them with a mixture of rice and baking 

soda and leave it in your shoes for a few days. 

Brighten your floors. 

Get rid of grime easily by using half a cup of baking 

soda in a bucket of warm water. Mop and rinse clean 

for a shiny new floor. This also helps with scuff marks. 

Natural Shoe Polish 

Believe it or not, banana peels are great for making 

your shoes look shiny and new again! Here’s how: 

Step 1: Peel the banana, set the peel aside. 

Step 2: Rub the inside of the peel on your shoes and 

watch as the scuffs disappear. 

Step 3: Use a soft cloth to remove any residue.

PARADISE IS NEARBY AT 

LANGKAWI ISLAND 

56 

Recently, the spread of the coronavirus around the world has put a halt on all our travel plans internationally 

since there is no clear indication of when we can safely pack our bags and head on to our next adventure. 

While many of us are dreaming of paradise, we’ve decided to compile the top 3 island beach resorts that we 

can travel to after the COVID-19 pandemic with social-distancing in mind, and there is still a place we can 

visit that’s still available to those of us who can travel locally!


Maldives 

Located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives 

is a chain of 1,000 islands (200 are inhabited, and only 5 

have any substantial population). These little coral islands 

are surrounded by excellent diving, snorkelling, and white 

sand beaches, and are filled with friendly locals. 

The Islands of Tahiti 

So many destination weddings, honeymoons and 

milestone celebrations were put on hold in 2020, so 2021 

will be a year overdue for celebrations. And what better 

place than French Polynesia? The Islands of Tahiti are a 

natural choice for any traveller seeking carefree vacation 

options. Exotic overwater bungalows and fantastic water 

activities offer up the perfect recipe for embracing the 

simple joys in life with family and friends. 

Closer to home - Tropicana Cenang Beach, Langkawi 

One such place to fulfil your beach-life dreams locally 

is in Langkawi Island. At Tropicana Cenang, you’ll 

find a beautifully designed and fully furnished luxury 

development located in the popular beach town. Enjoy 

the beachfront luxury at Tropicana Cenang’s detached 

low-rise houses, or choose to live the beach life with 

two stunning 40 floors towers with 825 serviced private 

residences with breathtaking ocean views. At Tropicana 

Cenang, you’ll be pampered with similar product 

offerings from serviced apartments, hotel and retail.

W 

IS FOR WONDERFUL 

Through bold, innovative design, 

W Kuala Lumpur immerses guests 

in globally renowned cuisine and 

growing appetite for playful luxury. 

TEXT AND PHOTOS: William K.C. Kee 

Weekend staycations at hotels are the new norm 

for most people nowadays. For a different slice of 

experience, one couldn’t ask for more than W Kuala 

Lumpur, as yours truly found out during a recent 

weekend stay. Through bold, innovative design, W 

Kuala Lumpur immerses guests in the city’s wildly lush 

greenery, globally renowned cuisine, centuries-old 

history and growing appetite for playful luxury. 

Welcome to the Jungle 

The hotel combines an inexhaustible mix of old and 

new colours, aromas and sounds that blend effortlessly 

together in a cultural festival for the senses. A distinct 

design feature at W Kuala Lumpur is the pixel – or dot. 

It is cleverly integrated throughout the hotel and is 

used to create a bigger picture inspired by a broader 

multicultural Malaysia made up of many ethnicities. 

61

JAN/FEB 2021 SOJOURN 

Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by larger-than-life 

traditional batik motifs, a nod to ancient artwork of the 

region, blended with sleek metal accents. The city’s 

abundant plant life is pulled into the space via bambooinspired 

chandeliers set against an ever-changing wall 

of lights, a representation of the new technology that is 

enhancing the cityscape. 

62 

At the Welcome area, guests check in among modern 

nods to the jungle. Streaming LED lights hang from 

above, playfully mimicking falling rain drops, spotlights 

alternate along the floor like a flowing river while the 

ceiling patterns depict an artistic interpretation of water 

ripples, and chandeliers show off the shapes of spinning 

Malay toys known throughout the country. 

Extending from the Living Room, the hotel’s grand 

staircase plays with light and space in a towering 

geometric cascade of steel-mirrored panels. Reflecting 

the vibrant colours and native designs found throughout 

the room and floors above, the staircase shifts each 

guests’ view of both colour and spacial dynamics as they 

move through the creatively extroverted mirroring. 

EAT, PLAY, LOVE 

W Kuala Lumpur features 150 stylish guest rooms 

and suites, including two WOW suites and the lavish 

Extreme WOW Suite (the brand’s take on the traditional 

presidential suite). With a living space of over 520sqm, 

the Extreme WOW Suite brings a new level of eclectic 

luxury to the city. All rooms and suites embody both


the traditional and modern elements of the “jungle 

city”, teaming signature W beds with traditional accents 

like indigenous “wau” tassels commonly featured on 

Malaysian kites and pixelated versions of batik designs. 

The hotel brings a flawless synergy to KL’s booming, 

multicultural food and drink scene with diverse beverage 

and food venues. YEN offers an imperial ambience with 

a contemporary take on traditional Cantonese recipes 

and a wide selection of fresh seafood. The Chinese 

restaurant has teamed up with art gallery curator Edith 

Ho and artists Jonny Zerox and Lim Kok Hong. Dubbed 

the Gung HO collective, they dressed YEN in trendy 

embellishments of pop with vibrant Asian influences. 

The energetic all-day dining restaurant FLOCK 

showcases an extensive open kitchen where expert 

chefs serve up Australian, farm-to-flock dishes featuring 

organic produce and a focus on sustainable eats. For 

inventive bar bites and meticulously crafted cocktails, 

WOOBAR is a chic all-day social space. Especially 

popular is its Hi-Tea Par Tea afternoon tea offering, 

which I tried and absolutely loved. Meanwhile, the WET 

Deck pool features creative concoctions, with breathtaking 

views of Petronas Twin Towers as its stunning 

backdrop. 

GET YOUR GLOW ON 

Guests looking to get pampered can treat themselves 

to luxe indulgences at AWAY Spa. With five treatment 

rooms, this 1,100sqm oasis offers massages and 

treatments, vitality pools, chroma-therapy steam baths 

and bio infrared saunas. I tried out its signature one 

hour massage and found the treatment heavenly. For 

those wanting to keep fit, guests can sweat it out at the 

hotel’s gym which features state-of-the-art equipment 

and views of the city skyline. 

For more information, visit wkualalumpur.com. 

ONE OF ITS KIND 

What makes W Kuala Lumpur 

unique? General manager Christian 

Metzner provides the answer. 

“W Kuala Lumpur is owned by 

Tropicana Corporation Berhad and 

managed by Marriott International, 

the world’s largest hotel company. 

By being a W hotel, it allows us to 

deliver a true five-star experience 

in a non-traditional luxury way. I 

would say we are boldly coloring 

outside the lines of luxury in any 

guest interaction, turning your 

traditional hotel stay into an 

extraordinary experience. When 

you step into W Kuala Lumpur you 

know you’re at a W hotel. 

To further elevate our guest 

experiences, we have talents in 

positions you will not find in any 

other hotels. Our W Insiders, for 

example, will take care of your 

stay and will ensure our Whatever/ 

Whenever service promise is 

in place. Our W Music Curator 

sets the tone of the music and 

entertainment DNA in all venues 

and during all our happenings 

featuring specially curated music. 

Our W’s passion points are Music, 

Design, Fuel and Fashion which 

is evidently in place throughout 

the hotel and our programming. 

Be it the art pieces at Woobar or 

YEN Restaurant, to the Retox at 

Dusk dinner settings to fashion 

collaborations throughout the 

year.” 

For 2021, we have big plans for 

collaborations with local fashion 

brands, F&B venues, art galleries 

and more. Stay tuned!”

LOSTIN NATURE


Be at peace when at ELS Teluk 

Datai, where scenic greens 

galore awaits 

Located in the secluded and lush location of Langkawi’s 

untouched rainforest, The ELS Teluk Datai conjures up 

stunning landscapes that soothes the soul. Make no 

mistake, the course is not all boring greens though, but 

a rather enthralling experience that lures you closer to 

Mother Nature. 

This pristine, sprawling championship golf course is 

within just a 10-mins drive from two luxury resorts in 

Datai Bay, namely The Datai Langkawi and The Andaman 

Langkawi, making it an epicentre for high swingers, both 

foreign and locals looking to enjoy a luxurious weekend 

retreat. 

65 

The picturesque golf course spreads across a 

breathtaking 47-hectare of ground and it greets you 

with the imposing sights of the mighty Mount Mat 

Chinchang and its marbled limestone peaks. Nestled in 

the Datai Bay of the mystical island of Langkawi, the ELS 

Teluk Datai golf course is teeming with greenery that is 

encircled by the clear, sparkling waters of the Andaman 

Sea.

BELOW RIGHT:

Matchincang mountain

‘hazards’ 

66 

Given the scenic setting of this course, expect to see a 

myriad of flora that thrive along the course, such as tropical 

hardwoods, bougainvillea, palms, ferns, parasitic vines, 

and broad-leafed plants, just to name a few. Fair warning 

though, keep your eyes peeled for resident monkeys and 

native wildlife that lurks in the evergreen forest, though 

we’d reckon that they’re gentle creatures nonetheless! 

The 18-hole, 72-par golf course is designed by renowned 

player Ernie Els and is suitable for both novices and 

pro golfers alike. Expect nothing less than a rewarding 

golf experience as the amply wide fairways provide 

more than enough room for you to get swinging. On 

top of that, there are also excellent bunkering around 

the greens to boot. Speaking of which, you won’t find 

your typical bunkers here as they have been replaced 

by tropical vegetations and streams, which honours the 

resplendent nature within the immediate vicinity.


Although the terrain might seem hilly on first sight, 

you’d be surprised to learn that the golf course is quite 

flat on the front-nine, with more elevation changes from 

there onwards. Do watch out for the sharp dogleg on 

par-5 8th, which is often considered as the best on the 

front nine. Then, tackle 15th with caution as it starts the 

closing stretch with a remarkably plunging downhill par-3. 

Another tricky hole to tackle lies on par-4, barricaded by 

giant overhanging trees, preventing what would’ve been a 

relatively easy route to the green for any short tee shots. 

Also, don’t miss out on the opportunity to play the 

signature hole, an extra hole par-3 carry over the 

Andaman Sea. Finally, it’s back to a very good uphill par- 

3 and then the terrific short par-5 closing hole before 

you call it a day. 

Long day at the course? Unwind at the open-air ELS 

Club lounge or better yet, head on down to the Hornbill 

Cafe to grab a bite or two. The cafe, which overlooks the 

sprawling course, promises a casual dining experience 

of both local and international cuisines for your 

gastronomic pleasure.

skills in the game, feel free to check out the golfing 

lessons available on hourly rates and even long termcoaching

JAN/FEB 2021 SAVOUR+ 

LOVE 

IN EVERY BITE 

For your Chinese New Year gatherings, 

head to the restaurants at Tropicana 

Golf and Country Club. Here are hearty 

meals to make you feel at home. 

70 

SALTED EGG FISH FILLET 

A crunchy delight that 

packs in the flavour of the 

ocean with a dose of salted 

egg. Garnishing in the form 

of cut chilies and aromatic 

curry leaves further elevate 

the taste. This perennial 

favourite at Spring Garden 

is a simple dish that is rich 

in flavour.


KOREAN JAPCHAE 

Japchae is a savory and 

slightly sweet dish of 

stir-fried glass noodles and 

vegetables that is popular in 

Korea. At QingHeGu, which 

prides itself on authentic 

traditional Korean cuisine, 

the Japchae is a standout; 

its glass noodles alongside 

colourful assortment of 

fresh greens. 

71 

KIMCHI PANCAKE 

Kimchi buchimgae 

(pancake) is primarily 

made with sliced kimchi, 

flour batter and sometimes 

vegetable or meat. The 

flavour-packed sour kimchi 

does a wonder when it’s 

fried in a simple batter. The 

pancake’s crispy texture 

makes it an ideal appetiser 

or light meal at QingHeGu.

JAN/FEB 2021 SAVOUR+ 

FURIKAKE SALMON 

FOAGURA DAIKON 

(FRIED FOIE GRAS 

WITH WHITE RADISH) 

At Twenty 7, the silkysmooth, 

healthy salmon 

is elevated with delicious 

Furikake seasoning which 

brings a crispy flavour. 

You cannot miss out on 

the expert blend of dried 

nori seaweed, black and 

white sesame seed, salt and 

kelp powder; it is a hearty 

combination of ocean 

crunch. 

The Japanese-styled 

seasoning does not 

overshadow the taste of foie 

gras, giving a nice balance 

to the overall flavour. The 

pairing of daikon doubles 

up as a palate cleanser and 

a refreshing break to soothe 

the oiliness of the foie gras. 

A must-try on your next 

visit to Gin Shui Tei.


SPAGHETTI AI FRUTTI DI 

MARE 

(SEAFOOD SPAGHETTI) 

A key factor about this 

dish is the mussels as it 

is the juice they produce 

while cooking that bring 

the flavour of the sea onto 

your plate. At JOJO, the 

freshness and quality of 

the seafood is evident, 

enhanced by the right 

sprinkling of herbs as 

seasoning. 

73 

MILK CHOCOLATE & 

CREAM PANNA COTTA 

Panna Cotta is literally 

Italian for “cooked cream” 

and though it is relatively 

simple to make, it ranks 

highly in the repertoire of 

desserts for its wow factor. 

At JOJO, the amount of 

chocolate used is subtle, 

which is part of its charm, 

resulting in a soft, silky and 

wobbly delight.

already formidable rep. Actress, singer, TV host, fashion 

designer, VJ, reality star and entrepreneur, she does it 

all, and shows no signs of slowing down even after tying 

the knot with actor Fattah Amin in 2017. The couple 

welcomed their first child - a baby girl - in October 2020. 

Signed to Universal Music Malaysia, Fazura debuted 

her English single Can’t Forget Me in early 2019 which 

topped the iTunes Malaysia chart just hours after its 

release. By September 2020, the song has officially hit 

more than seven million streams worldwide. One of its 

main themes is self-empowerment. Fazura, who’s had 

her share of criticism and condemnation on social media, 

can relate: “It’s so easy to lose yourself when you’re faced 

with adversity and challenges. This song was inspired 

by so many amazing women I know who still manage to 

find the strength to celebrate themselves, despite going 

through immense pain and heartbreak.” 

Fazura cites her mother, Fadillah Nasir, as the most 

inspiring figure in her life. “She’s been very strong, a rock, 

my backbone since I was born. I’ve always looked up to 

her. She’s very kind but she doesn’t take any BS. And I 

guess I got that from her. I also look up to many women 

out there – my friends, my management team – every 

woman I meet has a story, and each of them inspires me.” 

Winner of Best Actress at the 2015 Malaysia Film Festival, 

Fazura plans to release new music in the year ahead. 

“Singing was always my favourite thing to do since I was 

a kid,” explains Fazura. “As you progress in your career, 

especially in the Malaysian entertainment industry, you 

don’t want to do just one thing. I wanted to get out of 

my comfort zone and challenge myself, by singing or 

producing. I do enjoy being an entrepreneur as well; so as 

for the many hats I wear, I enjoy them all thoroughly.”


Datuk Zang Toi 

Toi was born in Kuala Krai in Kelantan on 11 June, 1961. 

He left Malaysia at the age of 18 and landed in New York 

City a year later where he attended Parsons School 

of Design. In 1989, with a modest collection of bright 

sarongs, strong suits and regal dresses, he opened his 

own atelier. In 1991, he won the Mouton-Cadet Young 

Designers Award, which recognises the top young US 

designer of the year. 

Thus far, the couturier has dressed famous 

personalities such as Sharon Stone, Pattie LaBelle, 

Kirstie Alley, Ivana Trump and Fergie from the Black 

Eyed Peas. He was the first Malaysian designer to 

make it big overseas. And he continues to make the 

country proud. He hopes to set a good example 

for younger Malaysians. “I want to tell them if they 

work hard, they can succeed in life, regardless of 

where you come from. I myself came from a humble 

background.” 

What was the biggest lesson learnt from 2020? 

“Expect the unexpected and stand strong to forge 

forward,” muses Toi. His wish for 2021 is for the 

Covid-19 and lockdown to be a distant memory. 

According to Toi, his lifestyle has not changed 

much due to the pandemic. “I have always been 

a homebody with the exception of my love of 

travelling around the world, which inspires me in 

my designs.” 

Asked to share his secret of success, Toi 

replies: “I’ve always thought of myself as a 

free thinker who always led his own path. 

My advice to young aspiring designers is to 

always stay true to your dream, and work 

hard and smart to turn the dream into 

reality.”

Ling Tan 

Born Tan Mang Ling and raised in Kuala Lumpur, this 

178cm-tall model was no stranger to fashion growing 

up. “My mother was a seamstress, and I’ve been 

exposed to fashion ever since I was young. I helped 

her with the sewing and measuring.” Tan later enrolled 

herself in a vocational school to study fashion. 

Her big break came when she was spotted by an 

advertising executive while waiting for a friend at 

a hotel’s high tea fashion show. And it wasn’t long 

before European and American designers showing 

their collections in Malaysia were so impressed with 

Tan that they encouraged her to move to New York 

City. 

Acknowledged as the first international supermodel 

from Malaysia, Tan has graced the covers and 

editorial pages of fashion magazines including Vogue, 

Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, Elle and New York 

Times Magazine. She has appeared in commercials 

for Emporio Armani fragrances, Ford car and Pantene 

Hair Colour, as well as George Michael’s music 

video Fast Love and an episode of Sex And The City. 

90 

What is Tan’s advice for wannabe models? “Be alert. 

Just like other professions, modelling has its good and 

bad sides. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you. To 

survive in the modelling business, you have to stay 

healthy and optimistic.” Her wish for 2021 is simple. 

“Enjoy the moment and go with the flow. Whatever 

will be, will be.”

THE FINEST 

REFLECTING 

CRAFTSMANSHIP 

We round up 

five mechanical 

timepieces that 

best celebrate 

craftsmanship and 

complications. 

94 

LONGINES, AVIGATION TYPE WATCH 

A-7 1935 

Longines revisits one of its iconic heritage 

pieces with a new version of the Avigation 

Watch Type A-7 1935. It is based on a 

model released in 1935 (hence the name) 

with oversized Arabic numerals and a 

porcelain dial. The newest edition has a 

restrained 41mm diameter and is 14mm 

in height. The 316L stainless steel case 

has round edges and a full-mirror polish, 

and a large crown at 12 o’clock. A domed 

sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective 

coating covers the dial while the caseback 

is solid steel. The silhouette of a plane 

is engraved on the back with the brand 

name stretched across the wings and a 

sunburst pattern radiating towards the 

edge. The case has a sturdy weight to it 

and is water-resistant to 30 metres.


MONTBLANC, 1858 GEOSPHERE LIMITED 

EDITION 

This watch is dedicated to legendary 

climber and explorer Reinhold Messner. 

Limited to 262 pieces, it is a nod to all 

the peaks over 26,200 feet that Messner 

climbed during his career. The timepiece 

is housed in a 42 mm special bronze 

alloy case with slim, curved horns that 

are decorated with both polished and 

satin finishings. It is powered by the 

Manufacture automatic Calibre MB 

29.25, with a world time complication 

that includes two turning domed globes 

representing the northern and southern 

hemispheres that make a full rotation 

every 24 hours. They are surrounded by a 

scale with the 24 time zones, along with a 

day/night indicator. A second time zone is 

located at nine o’clock and a date window 

(linked to the local time) is positioned at 

three o’clock. 

LOUIS VUITTON, TAMBOUR DAMIER 

GRAPHITE RACE 

This timepiece represents the ideal 

combination of sport and style, with 

graphic lines set against a dial featuring 

the iconic, masculine Damier canvas 

check. An energetic hue of green is 

contrasted against the depth of black. 

Inspired by artistic director Virgil Abloh’s 

menswear collections, this lends a bold 

and fresh take to the automatic and 

chronograph watches. Sporty touches 

come through on the fluorescentaccented 

black strap, which can be 

swapped for a bold tonal green version, 

contrasting a sense of athleticism against 

the graphite-hued PVD-coated steel 

case and smoked grey sapphire glass 

caseback. It is available as a 41.5 mm 

diameter automatic and 46 mm diameter 

chronograph. 

95

JAN/FEB 2021 CHRONOMETER 

BELL & ROSS, BR05 SKELETON BLUE 

This new skeleton version - dressed in 

blue – highlights an architectural modern 

design. The rich finishes of the BR05 draw 

the eye. Its 40 mm case is angular. The 

satin-finished surfaces are perfectly flat. 

The blue-tinted transparent dial features 

metal appliqué indices and forms a clear 

window through which the skeleton 

movement can be admired. Skeletonised 

hands and appliqué indices offer perfect 

legibility at both day and night. It is 

equipped with a BR-CAL.322 mechanism, 

wound by a 360° blue coated oscillating 

weight, open-worked to showcase the 

movement. The brand’s logo is metallised 

on the sapphire case-back. This model can 

be worn on a steel bracelet or a ribbed 

blue rubber strap. 

96 

PIAGET, ALTIPLANO TOURBILLON 

LIMITED EDITION 

Not only is Piaget offering this high 

complication for women, it has developed 

a smaller 38mm case size just for them 

in this pure white mother-of-pearl, which 

is accompanied by a 41mm version with 

a blue dial for those who appreciate 

a larger, bolder look. This new model 

highlights the ultra-thin flying tourbillon 

carriage in a round window at 2 o’clock. 

The position of the tourbillon with the 

hour and minutes counter at 8 o’clock 

to form a lucky 8. Featuring a sunray 

engraving, dark grey indexes and rose 

gold-coloured hands, the timepiece is 

adorned with 88 sparkling diamonds 

on the bezel and the folding clasp. It 

comes with a sapphire case back that 

provides a stunning view on this ultra-thin 

movement. It is paired with an elegant 

grey alligator strap and is limited to 88 

pieces each.


AUDEMARS PIGUET, CODE 11.59 

Composed of an octagonal middle case, 

a round extra-thin bezel and stylised lugs, 

the unconventional case design pushed 

ancestral hand finishing techniques to 

new heights with more details than 

meet the eye. Designed for both men 

and women, this collection features an 

optimum curved ergonomics, making it 

comfortable for all to wear despite its 

41mm in diameter. Audemars Piguet has 

also enriched its self-winding date, hour, 

minute and second models as well as its 

Chronograph models with a two-tone 

case aesthetics juxtaposing 18-carat 

white and pink gold. This exclusive 

combination highlights the case’s multiple 

geometries, hand-finished to the nine, as 

well as the collection’s blend of age-old 

craftsmanship and innovative design. Each 

watch comes with a hand-stitched “largesquare 

scale” alligator strap matching the 

dial’s colour.

JAN/FEB 2021 WHEEL


ASTON 

MARTIN'S 

FIRST EVER FULL-SIZE 

5-SEAT MODEL 

The all new DBX from 

Aston Martin boasts the dynamic 

performance of a sports car. 

The DBX marks a new era in Aston Martin’s performance 

and usability in a segment previously unexplored by the 

manufacturer. Combining the versatility and indulgence 

of a luxury SUV with the dynamic performance of a 

sports car, this new model aims to stamp the marque’s 

market presence in the SUV segment. 

Touted as a luxury SUV with “the soul of a sports car”, 

the car is built from bottom up on a new platform 

that harks back to its virtual development in 2015. The 

culmination of an extensive development programme 

beginning with physical testing done in Wales in 2018, 

the dedicated SUV platform pushes the boundaries 

of British design and engineering, resulting in a body 

structure that is both very light and incredibly stiff, with 

an overall kerb weight of 2,245kg. This translates into 

class-leading headroom and legroom for both front 

and rear passengers, and exceptional on and off-road 

dynamics. 

99 

Aston Martin’s unmistakable identity is apparent from 

the get-go, from the signature ‘DB’ grille at the front, 

through the sculptured sides and design feature line,

JAN/FEB 2021 WHEEL 

BOTTOM RIGHT: 

Aston Martin’s DBX 

offers 40:20:40 split 

folding rear seats. 

TOP LEFT: 

The luxuriously 

handcrafted interior of 

the DBX speaks of 

class and refinement 

to the tailgate with a flip that draws inspiration from 

Vantage. Hidden side glass seals on the frameless doors 

and glass B-pillar finishers add an elegant sleekness to 

the stance. Cutaway sills also assist in narrowing the 

stepover required to enter the SUV, ensuring designer 

gowns or suits stay pristine without picking up stains. 

Much thought has been given to aerodynamics in the 

design process, and this includes daytime running lights 

with integrated aerodynamic duct, which channels air 

through the front wheel arches and along the side, 

helping to reduce both drag and lift while also cooling 

the brakes. Air flows cleanly over the roof, through the 

rear wing, over the rear window and on to the rear flip. 

This unique approach and design detail allow the rear 

screen to self-clear on the move. 

Upon entering, the full-length glass panoramic roof and 

frameless door glass grab your attention. Front sports 

car seats provide the driver with exceptional support 

and long-distance driving comfort, and back passengers 

have ample knee and footwell clearance as well. 

Cabin noise is kept to a minimum at speed while the 

vehicle maintains a highly responsive and engaging 

dynamic capability. 

100


Powered by a 4-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 engine 

found in the DB11 and Vantage, DBX features an 

impressive output of 550PS and 700NM of torque, 

replete with sound character that is unquestionably 

Aston Martin. 

The turbocharged V8 has cylinder deactivation to 

enhance fuel economy, which enables the DBX to 

accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in merely 4.5 seconds and 

on to a top speed of 291km/h. 

Transmitting this power and torque to the ground is a 

nine-speed torque convertor automatic gearbox, allied 

to an all-wheel drive system with active differentials 

featuring an active central differential and an electronic 

rear limited slip differential. This allows the torque to be 

moved precisely both fore and aft in the vehicle and also 

across the rear axle. 

Aston Martin’s first ever full-size 5-seat model caters 

to a wide variety of lifestyle needs. With 632 litres of 

boot space and 40:20:40 split folding rear seats, it has 

the flexibility expected of an SUV. The practical narrow 

load sill and broad aperture allows you to ferry anything 

from suitcases, golf bags and ski equipment to even twin 

prams. 

A range of optional accessory packages are available, 

meant to help tailor the car to customers’ needs, sports 

or pastimes. There’s even a Pet package that includes a 

portable washer to help attend to the needs of a muddy 

dog after a walk! 

A 10.25” TFT screen sits in the centre console, while a 

huge 12.3” TFT screen provides information to the driver. 

Apple CarPlay comes as standard, as does a 360-degree 

camera system and ambient lighting that offers 64 

different colours in two zones. 

The DBX comes with adaptive triple volume air 

suspension combined with the latest 48v electric antiroll 

control system (eARC) and electronic adaptive 

dampers. With its capacity to raise the ride height by 

45mm or lower it by 50mm, the air suspension makes it 

possible for the driver to tackle a wide range of terrain.

FEAST 

WITH THE FAMILY 

AT TROPICANA GARDENS MALL 

Great news for fans of mala hotpot! Yuan Laosi Hotpot’s 

very first restaurant in Malaysia has opened in Tropicana 

Gardens Mall. Beautifully decorated, it is spacious and 

grand, with ample tables to accommodate its growing 

fan base. 

Offering both open dining and private booths, Yuan 

Laosi also has four private VIP rooms complete with 

karaoke. Its unique selling point comes in the form of an 

in-house bar where you can order a variety of beer and 

spirits to complete your meal. 

This is in line with the restaurant’s business 

philosophy; not only is hotpot comfort food, it offers 

a traditional party culture. By providing customers a 

relaxing environment, Yuan Laosi – which originated 

from Chongqing – is the ideal setting for family and 

friends to gather. 

Yuan Laosi gives diners the option to go for single, 

double or triple soup base. The restaurant’s must-try is 

naturally the mala soup base. During our visit, we opted 

for the triple soup base comprising their signature mala 

soup, tomato soup and mushroom soup. All three soup 

bases were hearty and well-flavoured. 

In terms of meat, their recommended signatures 

are duck intestine, fresh frog leg, pork shoulder and 

meatballs. The meat slices here are generous and thick, 

while the ingredients are fresh, complemented by an 

assortment of dumplings and vegetable. 

Yuan Laosi also has a variety of starters and side dishes to 

choose from. Highly recommended are Sichuan style sugar 

ice jelly, glutinous rice cake and crispy fried meat. Overall, it 

was a satisfying dining experience that makes one eager to 

make a return visit. For more details, call 012-991 8830.

GLENMORANGIE 

GRAND VINTAGE 

MALT 199 

The limited-edition 

Glenmorangie Grand 

Vintage Malt 1996 

is the oldest ever 

matured whisky to 

produce a new level 

of creaminess. Fresh, 

floral and perfumed, 

with hints of roses, 

carnations, jasmine 

and coriander. 

Luscious mandarin 

orange and pear 

follow, with a beautiful 

candy sweetness, 

reminiscent of mixed 

fruit jellies. A splash 

of water releases even 

more floral notes 

of carnation and 

geranium, along with 

some soft, buttery 

vanilla. This single malt 

owes its rich, velvety 

texture to it being aged 

for 23 years. 

ARDBEG WEE 

BEASTIE 

The latest permanent 

expression to join the 

Ardbeg core range is 

Ardbeg Wee Beastie. 

And at just five years 

old, this feisty and 

intensely powerful 

smoky whisky is 

untamed by age. 

Matured in ex-bourbon 

and Oloroso sherry 

casks, Wee Beastie 

bristles with intense 

aromas of cracked 

black pepper, sappy 

pine resin and sharp 

tangs of smoke. An 

explosive mouthfeel 

bursts forth with 

tar, chocolate and 

creosote.
