Pudding reminds us of our childhood – not eating the black sticky cake when we were wee kids; more like reading about it in our then favourite Enid Blyton books. We used to wonder how it tastes like but wouldn’t necessarily go out and buy one of our own (what’s treacle, BTW?). So good thing [...]
Getting celebrities to perform exclusively for you is a party trick reserved for the privileged few. Sure, we’ve heard of sultans hiring the likes of the late Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey to sing at their palaces. Or even someone like Paris Hilton (yes, she sings and has at least one album to her name) [...]
It’s been a tough year. You’ve worked hard. The time has come to party even harder. So if you haven’t started planning a gazillion parties in a row till 2011, here’s one to start you off in our latest Good Things Must Share (GTMS) series of alco-helpful posts. A low cost specially prepared X’mas buffet [...]
Quiz: Which is the 175proofers’ favourite ‘pint of black stuff’ that contains only 198 calories per pint. That is less than most light beer, wine, OJ, or even light milk. Which city in South East Asia has a population of 23 million people, the 4th largest urban area in the world, no less, and will [...]
At $10 a pint, newly opened Molly Roffey’s pub has to be offering the cheapest Guinness draft pints in town. We can’t think of another place that offers this at a lower price, even during happy hour! But it’s a limited time only till October. Where is it? It’s located at 51 Bras Basah Road [...]
True stout lovers have a new dark one to whet tastebuds to. We’ve had to limit ourselves to Guinness, ABC, Royal Danish Stout and whatever’s brewed at Brewerkz. But Wala Wala at Holland Village now serves Connor’s Original Stout on tap. It’s brewed by Carlsberg Malaysia and if response is good, we’ll probably be seeing it at [...]
The World Cup is upon us, so you know you’ll be getting a good dose of soccer (football?) related posts from the good folks at 175proof. And you also know that brands will no doubt capitalise on the tried-n-tested emotional appeal type television commercials that will surely rile up your latent reservoirs of manly (or [...]
So someone pointed me to this article which mentions six of the ‘best’ beer ads. Disappointing to say the least, even if you argue that creative preference is personal and subjective. I guess its the claim that I took issue with: ‘Once again Media has scoured the world for the best ads on a particular [...]
Guinness brings Arthur’s Day to KL In the lead up to Arthur’s Day, Guinness is launching a global consumer promotion in July 2009. Arthur’s Day will feature a series of global events which will take place in September in Kuala Lumpur, Dublin, New York, Lagos, and Yaounde. Where is Yaounde? Anyway, I love my Guinness [...]
I did a whirlwind business trip to Hong Kong this week. It’s a short trip as I was on the ground for about 46 hours, and if you know Hong Kong, this isn’t even enough to get your taste buds going with all the food and clubbing. Be warned, I rate Hong Kong as party [...]
