It's loud! It's happening! It's the MIGF gala launch festival!!!

Managed to snagged an invited thanks to KL Hilton but got lost in Putrajaya (hint: next time follow the map!).

we arrived just in time to mill around for 5 minutes before the guests of honour arrived and listen to Dato Steve Dat drone on in his opening speech. They proceeded swiftly into the hall to be greeted by the chef clanging on their pots and pans. We (ignoring Dato's order to wait for the confetti cannons) just dive straight for the restaurants booths.

One round of food with Calsberg, second round for information and chef gazing with Carlsberg again, third round to work off the alcohol (who am I kidding, I think I down about 3 red wines, 4 cocktails and 4 white wines along the way)

Chef Ricky and Chef Lam were all there, got to meet Chef Michael make some funky Truffle noodles in Game consumme. I will probably visit Iketeru (Nov 4), Chynna (Nov 12) and Sense (3rd week of November) in that order. Do drop me a email if you want to join in.

Some obligatory photos:






PS: Dato Steve Day, next year, either ask your guest to bring earplug or tone down the band. I couldn't even listen to the harpist and violinists.
