As we bid farewell to the Year of the Dragon, festivities of the Lunar New Year herald the way for the Year of the Snake. Honouring the traditions of Chinese New Year, Oversea Restaurant’s festive feast — a celebration of the rich heritage of Cantonese …
Tiger Beer welcomed the Year of the Snake in bold style with the launch of its ‘Together We Roar’ campaign at Pavilion Bukit Jalil recently. The event set the tone for a festive season and celebration with a vibrant lineup of experiences.
The atmosphere at Piazza, Pavilion Bukit Jalil was of pure excitement as consumers brought their pack to ‘Tiger Town’. Visitors enjoyed live performances, curated in partnership with Tǎng Píng, the popular Live Cafe Bar, along with immersive experiences that included music performances by popular artists 3P and Jeryl Lee, craft booths and interactive activities.
Attendees were put to the test with a series of activities in order to win exclusive Tiger merchandise.
“Each year, Tiger celebrates the courageous journey of progress and connection, recognising that the support of fellow tigers makes every milestone significant,” said Willemijn Sneep, Marketing Director of Heineken Malaysia Berhad. “This year, we are proud to offer experiences that honour these connections and inspire our consumers to celebrate those who uplift them along the way. We cannot wait to see how everyone roars together in the Year of the Snake.”
Adding to the excitement was the unveiling of the exclusive Tiger x atmos x ButNotReally collection. Members of the media were treated to an exclusive preview of what was in store for consumers.
The streetwear collaboration celebrates the shared journey of brands that defied the odds. Born on the streets of Asia in 1932, Tiger Beer built its reputation for bold refreshing lagers by breaking boundaries, while atmos, with its roots in Tokyo’s Ura-Harajuku backstreets, emerged as a global streetwear champion. ButNotReally is a homegrown brand that embodies the spirit of creativity, freedom and innovation. This partnership has resulted in a collection that honours their bold roots while pushing the future of fashion forward. The limited-edition pieces are available for purchase at participating atmos stores (Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley Megamall, and Genting Sky Avenue).
Tiger invites consumers to join in on the digital activation by using Tiger’s ‘Add Yours’ template on Instagram Stories to post pictures of themselves and their crew over the years, reflecting on their shared progress and journey. By tagging @tigerbeermy on Instagram, participants stand to win an exclusive NFC pendant from Zero Degrees, which contains these photos, allowing them to carry these special moments with their pack wherever they go.

I love kway chap and that’s the one thing I will look for when I’m in Singapore or Penang as KL doesn’t really have a good one. There have been more shops offering this homey dish in the last few years, some of Thai origin …
Hidden upstairs on the 2nd floor in a corner shoplot in Solaris, KL, blink and you might miss it as there’s no prominent signage if you’re not looking up. I was surprised that the small Korean resto Sigol Madang was mostly full. I’ve tried to walk-in before this and couldn’t get a place. Reservations are recommended if you wanna get a small cosy booth. The menu is very limited with Gukbap being the main highlight here. The rest are sides like egg, rice ball, jeon, etc and accompaniments like chicken feet, squid, whelks. That being said, food was really good here.
Never heard of Gukbap? There’s even a set of instructions teaching you how to eat this. They give you a sheet of paper specially to rest your cutlery. Gukbap (RM32), or sliced pork soup, comes with rice, and in a claypot, boasting authentic flavours straight out like from Busan. Soup tasted clean and flavour subtle, almost bland so you need to add shrimp sauce (similar to our cincalok), salt and chilli powder, if you like spicy, for seasoning. The result was a heart-warming, soul comforting soupy rice with tender pieces of meat without any funky, porky smell. We were there on a rainy evening so it was the perfect foil to an otherwise wet event. Makes sense why they also call this hangover soup.
The huge pot of chicken feet (RM68) was heated up over a hot stove so it was spicy (for my friends) and temperature hot, and had us licking the delicious gravy off our fingers. I felt it was quite a lot to pay for chicken feet compared to our chicken rice and chap fan places but I guess being a Korean restaurant, it reserves the right to charge? The other dishes like squid and whelk (snails) average around RM98. We also had the best seafood jeon (RM30) ever – crispy, fragrant, flavourful. Even the steamed egg (RM18) seemed extra fluffy and the radish kimchi fresh and nicely tart.
Aiming to go back again and try the bossam (boiled pork belly/RM120 for 2 to 3 pax)) which I’ve heard only good things about. I’ve also come to appreciate that sometimes you don’t really need an extensive menu, just excel in a couple of dishes and you’ve got it made.

Tagged as ‘a new concept store by Broom’, their interior decorators deserve top marks for nailing the ambience of the space convincingly, including a patio dining area. Very different from sister cafe Broom Artistry but just as warm and welcoming with its gorgeous kampung-inspired decor. …
