Star Cafe @ Taman Desa


Taman Desa,虽然不是常去的地方,但个人对这里的印象相当不错,其中隐身于这里的特色餐馆功劳不小 ;) 而继上回在这里发现超正点德国猪脚,本次在友人的邀请下再次来到Taman Desa造访一间颇具年资的餐厅—已入驻Taman Desa 5年之久的Star Café虽然名字里带着café字样,但这里可不是一般的咖啡馆,仿佛永远活跃的气氛、现场音乐表演、吧台、各式啤酒红酒西打等饮料、西式及亚洲料理让这里成为了最适合下班后小酌放松聊天喝酒的地方 ;)

Star Café @ Taman Desa
室外半开放式空间,色调是令人放松的绿色系
室内部分则是小酒馆设计,吧台live band一应俱全
这里的live band表演可是每周七日天天上演哦,每日不同类型的音乐表演9 pm准时开show ^^

当然除了小酌放松聊天喝酒听音乐,Star Café多元的西式及亚洲料理menu亦相当可观,各式開胃前菜、湯、海鮮、肉類及家禽類主菜、甜点等一应俱全,其中主厨秘制的霸气炸猪脚份量十足卖相开胃,看了让人不由自主的食指大动,而带有淡淡中药味的海南式炖小羊腿肉据说是主厨独创哦,只此一家别无分号 ^^

Chicken Deminoff
Slow-Cooked Lamb Shank
Beef  Wellington
Spring Chicken
虽然走的是邻家小酒馆概念,但这里的食物从烹调到摆盘却一点也不马虎,主厨的用心在漂亮呈现的一道道食物里随处可见,而其中最吸睛同时也是个人偏好的则要数香喷喷的诱人烤鸡及霸气澎湃的招牌炸猪脚啦。有别于德国猪脚偏厚一咬即喀拉喀拉作响的外皮,Star Café招牌炸猪脚带有的是更多的亚洲风味,较薄的外皮酥酥脆的,配上略带嚼劲的肉及焦黄油亮的卖相,一上桌绝对让人禁不住猛咽唾液啊 ;)

若想要来些本土风味的话这里的快炒类面食及乌达乌达则是不错的选择,其中炒粿条及炒冬粉带有锅气的风味感觉不错,但个人觉得再把味道稍微加强就更完美啦 :)

Otak-otak Snapper Fillet 
Hainanese Lamb Shank
Oyster Fried Kway Teow
Bittergourd Fried Glass Noodles
Curry Mee
Fresh Salmon Ceviche
Giant Prawn Crispy Noodles
Tofu Salad
Sarawak Layer Cake

综合来说作为一间邻家小酒馆Star Café的活跃氛围绝对是不可多得的,造访当天是星期二晚上但这里超嗨的氛围却给人一种已经是星期五夜晚的感觉 ;) 食物价位方面则属中规中矩,用心的摆盘有加分哦,想在放工后聚一聚的人不妨来这试试呗 ;)

Media Prima Berhad Launch #TakNakSeludup Campaign


May 31st, most people would bid farewell then calls an end to the month of May, but what most people don't realize is that there’s actually far more to it for the day as every year on May 31st mark the World No-Tobacco Day (WNTD). A day created by World Health Organization (WHO) in 1987 with the intention to draw attention to the widespread prevalence of tobacco use and its subsequence negative health effects (in case you were wondering, this notorious product currently lead to nearly 6 million deaths each year worldwide, including 600,000 of which are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke).

This year, Media Prima Berhad (‘Media Prima’ or ’The Group’), Malaysia’s leading intergrated media company has launched #TakNakSeludup Campaign in conjunction with the World No-Tobacco Day 2015 themed ‘Stop Illicit Trade of Tobacco Products’, with the intention to send out strong message and a call-for-action to our nation to work together to end the trade of illicit tobacco products, especially cigarettes.   

Media Prima Berhad #TakNakSeludup Campaign launch @ Media Prima Berhad, Balai Berita, Bangsar, KL.
Opening speech by Mdm Shareen Ooi, Group Chief Marketing Officer for Media Prima Berhad 
Presentation by Dato' Akhbar Satar, President of Transparency International Malaysia (TI-M)

Being identified as the third highest among Asian countries in terms of illicit cigarette consumption, the impact of illicit tobacco trade in Malaysia has been devastating as it is the major contributing factor for youth uptake of smoking. It is estimated that approximately one out of every three packs of cigarettes sold in Malaysia are smuggled, which cost a RM 2 billion loses in taxes annually, not to missed the fact that the counterfeit cigarettes has been proven to contain higher dosage of lethal substances in excess of legitimate cigarettes!

lets pledge to STOP illicit trade of tobacco products, stop killing yourself and us too! #TakNakSeludup ‪#‎NoTobacco‬ ‪#‎StopSmokingStartLiving‬ ‪#‎CSR‬ ‪#‎JZWorld‬ ‪#‎MediaPrima‬

The #TakNakSeludup Campaign by Media Prima Berhad will include a series of Public Service Announcements, feature articles and special reports on Media Prima’s integrated media platforms to create awareness on the illicit tobacco trade, thus encouraging Malaysia to live a healthy smoke-free lifestyle. In addition, by actively banishing the relatively cheaper but more harmful illicit cigarettes, the campaign hopes to effectively restrict the underage minors access to tobacco products. Public are encourage to pledge against the illicit tobacco trade if not to stop smoking for the good of self and community health.
