SSPCA Charity Dinner featuring stand-up comedy by Kumar

Concurrent Event at AfA2015

The charity dinner was held to raise funds for the SSPCA’s animal shelter at Kota Sentosa and the new Animal Village.

Guests were not quite sure whether to laugh when Kumar began his show by announcing that he was born at the SPCA in Singapore. It turned out the Drag Queen was being serious when she shared her attachment to the SPCA as her father was a staff there and was given a house in the premises so that he could respond to animal rescue efforts 24/7. 

Of course after that rather sentimental trip down memory lane Kumar proceeded to bring the house down with her lazer sharp observation of life in general and life in Singapore in particular, reminding the audience to always be kind to animals in the process.

#afaborneo2015 Organizing Chairperson Rebecca D'Cruz (above) thanked everyone for making the convention a success, including Minister of Local Government and Community Development Dato Sri Wong Soon Koh for his support in making SSPCA the only animal welfare NGO in the country with a formal agreement with their local councils.and Tourism Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg for being one of their staunchest allies in the state government.

SSPCA President Dona Drury Wee shared that after a four year wait, they received good news when the Chief Minister announced that the state government had approved a piece of land to build their new Animal Village.

“They will inform us when the site has been confirmed. We have to up our efforts to raise funds to realize our dream, which is why you are all here at this charity dinner tonight. We will also hold a Christmas charity bazaar on Nov 29 to raise funds” she said.

Poodoo Launches At Fraser Business Park,

Press Release

"Stellar live jams at KL’s newest live music venue"

Kuala Lumpur, 26 June 2013 – If good live music is big on your agenda, then make Poodoo your next pit stop for the best live entertainment in the city. Launched on 18th April, this new addition to KL’s thriving bar culture not only provides the finest live jams for music lovers, but also aims to be the choice venue for musicians to congregate and play music together.

Located at the new Metro Mall in the heart of Fraser Business Park, Poodoo’s split-level location houses its restaurant on the ground floor (opening in mid-July) and its live music bar on the upper floor–with outdoor access via its instantly recognisable colossal black staircase. Looking to be more than just your average friendly neighbourhood pub, Poodoo seamlessly combines a drinking and dining concept with top-notch live entertainment–complete with efficient and affable bar staff that remember you by name.

Poodoo’s 2,100-square-foot live music space holds its own convivial charm with a long bar that serves up some of the best pours–including its specialty: the three-part-pour Guinness, which adds that extra depth to the flavour of this dark brew. The venue also boasts two uniquely coloured British pool tables and holds friendly pool tournaments every Saturday, with champions winning bottles of Johnnie Walker Black Label, and Tiger beer towers and jugs–all under the watchful gaze of pool-player caricatures mounted on Poodoo’s Wall of Fame.

However, there’s no mistaking the main focal point at Poodoo: its expansive, elevated solid-top bar that doubles up as a performance platform–great for the rockstar that loves to engage an audience or some tabletop dancing. With an impeccable sound system in place, the venue enjoys impressive acoustics, with local singers and musicians making regular appearances and sharing the stage with resident band diVerSity–led by the talented Vishnu Shakti. Expect a varied line-up of performers daily with a set list covering genres like rock, funk and blues, while Sundays welcome open jam sessions that beckon any kind of performer–whether bedroom or veteran–to take the stage for the night. So far, Poodoo has hosted bands like Heavy Machine, Freedom, Sharin’s Band, 9 Lives Band, Bongga Bongga and The Alleycats, who are slated to perform at Poodoo again on 6th July.

If anyone understands your average barfly’s predilection for quality drinks at reasonable prices, it’s the people behind Poodoo. And here, you get a good selection of beers at great prices, especially so during Happy Hours. As the night wears on and you’re feeling a little adventurous, the bar recommends Poodoo’s Twin Tower Challenge, a friendly dare that pits you against two towering glasses (one red and one blue) filled with an infusion of various liquors and liqueurs followed by a chilled white wine chaser and a deserving spot on Poodoo’s Wall of Fame. And if you’re thirsting for more, supersize your cocktail to a pitcher by simply doubling up on your drink price! 

No great venue is complete without its eats, and Poodoo’s got a slammin’ menu of palatable non-halal bites for when hunger pangs strike. Star picks include the Crispy Cheesy Bacon Onion Bombs, Minced Lamb Spring Rolls and BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders. In fact, the people behind Poodoo are so passionate about their food that the venue launches its dining arm next month. Finally, KL gets its first-ever western-style, DIY-BBQ concept restaurant where diners can choose from a succulent range of chilled meats that they can cook themselves on professional-grade gas grills. On top of menu selections of the barbecued variety, Poodoo will also feature juicy beef burgers (bacon optional, but highly recommended) and tasty pasta favourites like the Tom Yum Bolognaise, plus a selection of local favourites like the Singapore-style Fried Hokkien Mee, Nyonya Curry Chicken and Braised Pork Trotters. 

Poodoo also prides itself in serving great-tasting premium steaks. Size does matter at Poodoo, and noticing the dearth of good, quality steaks that are not only big but thick has led to owner and founder Tony Heng introducing “tall” steaks on Poodoo’s menu. As a food aficionado, Tony insists on the highest standards for his food, which means diners can be assured of thick, juicy and tender steaks every time–and with prices that won’t hurt your wallet. This passion for food is evident as he shares one of his most held beliefs, “Good food brings out the best in life.” Best of all, you can be sure what’s on the menu will come with its own inimitable Poodoo twist.

When it comes to perfecting the trifecta of excellent food, drinks and live music, Poodoo scores high on all counts. So the next time you’re looking to escape that nasty gridlock, make a detour to Poodoo for an impressionable experience that will have you returning in no time.

Poodoo is located at 1 Jalan Metro Pudu 2, Metro Mall, Fraser Business Park, 55200 KL.
Opening hours: Restaurant: (coming soon!) 11am-11pm; Bar: 5pm-2am (Sun-Thu), 6pm-3am (Fri & Sat). Happy Hours are from 5pm-9pm daily with Guinness and Kilkenny at RM50/three pints, Tiger tower at RM80, Foster’s at RM50/five-can bucket, Johnnie Walker Black Label at RM500/two bottles. (All prices are ++.)

The Sex And The City 2 Appeal

Following the announcement of the exciting deal at Milan and San Francisco in mid-Feb, the partnership between SKYY Vodka and the second edition of the Sex and the City film reached another city.

The fans of the much anticipated movie in Malaysia also joined in celebration during the launch of the limited edition of SKYY Vodka at the swanky Sultan Lounge in Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on May 26.

The celebrated fashion icon and Sex and the City 2 costume designer Patricia Field is the key figure in heightening the appeal for the brand’s international campaigns.

Besides serving as the spokesperson, she has been offering her designing talents to elevate the elements linked with the film directed by Michael Patrick King with the familiar foursome cast of Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.

In the first ever cobalt blue SKYY bottle’s iconic change, Field added the movie theme design on the limited-edition of SKYY Vodka Sex and the City 2 bottle.

The new illustrated bottle will be available at retailers around the world in May.

Field said: “Most stylish moments of Sex and the City were about the ladies dressed up bonding over fun cocktails out in Manhattan. SKYY Vodka has always been a brand with style. So, I was thrilled to create something special that celebrates those special ‘cocktail couture’ moments that truly are the essence of SKYY and Sex and the City.”

Movie buffs in the United States are looking forward to the release of the new Sex and the City 2 film making the debut at their theatres on May 28. 

Although the movie will only appear in the local cinemas in Malaysia on June 17, Albert Wines assistant brand manager Winnie Tan said they are hosting a special preview for their consumers purchasing the new limited edition bottle at the GSC Pavilion Kuala Lumpur on June 15.

“We are not only inviting them to join us for a special occasion and be among the early viewers to watch the movie here. A lucky winner will also be going home with the grand prize of a trip for two including air tickets and accommodation to New York,” she added.

Encouraged by the success of the partnership in the first film, SKYY Vodka has extended the alliance with Warner Bros. Entertainment to continue their effort in defining the sophisticated cocktail culture around the globe including the promotional initiatives to showcase the cocktail couture.

The four new seductive concoctions inspired by the movie for the fairer sex are Glamour Girl, Blonde Ambition, Park Avenue Princess and Red Over Heels while Mr. Manhattan is the single masculine mixture.

Skyy Spirits was founded and is headquartered in San Francisco, California.  More information on the company can be found at www.skyyspirits.com and www.camparigroup.com.
