Also known as Markets 16, this quarterly bazaar is set to bring in more unique brands each time to excite the shoppers. As I’ve been supporting them since Markets 14, I can say that the list of vendors participating is getting longer and longer!

Peranakan Hi-Tea Buffet @ Estadia Hotel

Life has been great lately! Managed to visit Malacca again after 2 months and this time, I had more time discovering the historical city. 🙂

One of the best discoveries was the first Peranakan Hi-Tea buffet at Makan Nyonya Resturant in my favorite Peranakan themed boutique hotel, Estadia Hotel. Makan Nyonya Restaurant is an all-day dining restaurant that offers an endless array of Peranakan cuisine and local specialities.

This Peranakan Hi-Tea Buffet has certainly exceeded my expectation as they serve a wide variety of Baba Nyonya cuisine. From mouth-watering Peranakan appetizers to the delectable main course and desserts, expect to get a taste of Melaka through a colourful culinary journey with family and friends.

Posted on

Anyeonghaseyo! I’m still feeling the hype from Korean Apps Wave 2015 that was held at Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside Hotel although it has passed for 2 days already. I keep hearing Korean words in my mind and in fact, I’m listening to some K-Pop songs while writing this post. Oh wait, I’ve been listening to them everyday!

Korean App Economy Outlook by Mr. Paul Noh, CEO of UbiNuri

  • Quarterly app downloads on Google Play has increased 30% from Q1 2014 to Q1 2015 largely due to growth in emerging markets such as Brazil and India
  • Japan, US and South Korea remain as the top 3 countries by revenue
  • Continuous high growth in global app market is predicted
  • There is an imbalance observed in content consumption (80% of sales revenue comes from game app)
  • Income bipolarization of developer whereby the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer
