A New World Calls For A New Style - GUINNESS® New Packaging Launch Party

Hey there beer lovers, if you don’t already know the world’s most iconic black brew GUINNESS® has recently revealed its signature new look for the brand’s Foreign Extra Stout (GFES) variant just last Thursday at an exclusive launch held at The Intermark Kuala Lumpur. Technically I wasn’t at the party but the new packaging is so cool & that’s why I decided to shared it with you guys anyway. :)

Being the first major package redesign for the brand in decades to reveal a contemporary look for the brand, reflective of its modern and young base of drinkers today, the excitement were all over the Guinness® New Packaging Launch Party so without further ado may I present to you- The new contemporary GUINNESS® Foreign Extra Stout (GFES)!  *clapclap*

Discover A World Of More! ^^

Words from the director: “From the beauty of the metallic gold finishes, the standout yellow racetracks of colour and the layering of contemporary typography, the new GFES invites the eye and draws the drinker in. The iconic “bull dog” remains on the neck label as the classic icon of Guinness in Malaysia complete with a sweep of Arthur Guinness’ signature which adds to its premium contemporary aestheti.”

"And, while the Guinness packaging may have an updated look, what's inside the bottles and cans is still the same authentic taste that comes from St. James's Gate in Dublin."

GUINNESS® Guests & Lovers with the whole new GFES. ^^

The new look of GFES will include both pint and quart bottles, as well as the 500ml and 320ml cans, which will be available in the Klang Valley and nationwide from 7th November 2013 onwards. So swing by to any of your favourite chill-out spot to check out the brand new contemporary GUINNESS Foreign Extra Stout today.

传承80余载古早南洋风味：镒记茶餐馆 l Yut Kee @ Jln Dang Wangi KL

对于新世代来说咖啡店文化的联想大抵逃不过starbucks、coffee bean & tea leaf、old town等随处可见的西式连锁加盟店，咖啡时光总与舒适的沙发、优雅的空间、空调、蛋糕、西饼等划上等号..

作为许久才在我的部落格现身一次的中文食评，如果介绍的是以上那么普通的东西那就真的是逊毙了！但是’逊’ is not my style，所以吃货们请放一百二十个心，且听我娓娓道来..今天为大家介绍咖啡店来头还真不小，若以年份为衡量标准的话starbucks和它一比简直有如刚出生的婴儿般稚嫩，皆因截至今年为止此店已有85的历史了。

镒记茶餐室 l Kedai Makan Yut Kee（1928）

时光倒流85年回到1928年的马来亚，在还处于英殖民时代的吉隆坡，镒记茶餐室 （Kedai Makan Yut Kee）在Jalan Dang Wangi正式营业.. 秉持着海南人刻苦耐劳的精神以及对美食的坚持，历经岁月的洗礼，镒记在时代变迁下始终屹立不倒，成功的撰写出其独树一帜的老店传说..这里没有富丽堂皇的装潢，没有舒适清幽的环境，却始终人潮汹涌，慕名而来的游客、老主顾与吃货们让店内无论任何时候皆高朋满座。客源虽自四面八方，但大家的目的却绝对一致，为的不过是一尝镒记那传承了一甲子有余的古早味南洋美食与Kopitiam文化。b^^d

话不多说，接下来看图说故事时间请了~ :)

踏入镒记，泛黄的老照片，陈旧的电风扇与木椅，褪去光泽的云石桌，瞬间有种时光倒流的错觉 :)

虽然总是人潮汹涌，但熟练的员工点菜上菜速度蛮快的，
只要坐下了美食不久便会来到面前。

Kopitiam style，桌上没有menu，想点什么抬头往墙上一望，餐点&价格一目了然。

海南咖啡冰（RM 2），纯纯的Kopi peng，就是小时候那熟悉的味道，

甜味稍淡，可能与最近糖价飙高有关呗~ XD

猪扒（Pork Chop，RM 10），粘粉及蛋清后下锅油炸的猪扒，呈盘后淋上自制番茄酱汁，甫上桌便香气四溢，
香酥的口感配上略微湿润的酱汁，绝对让人食指大动，超大的分量更是满足感的最佳保证。 b^^d

猪肉包（Roti Babi，RM 8），作为一间85年老店的镇店之宝，这绝对是必点美食，厚切海南面包加上蛋液微烤，
再塞入满满的猪肉末与洋葱，就是一道口感特别且美味的海南小吃啦。 ^^

就算是weekdays 下午3：30，人潮依然不减，若是想在假日到镒记饮早茶，
请做好排队的心理准备吧:P

据第二代少东Uncle Lee表示，镒记预计将于明年离开这坚守了80余年的老店址，搬迁到一街之隔的全新店面，想在这充满浓浓古早南洋风味茶餐馆享受美食的朋友们可要好好珍惜这仅剩的时间了。 :)
