Creativity in Motion by Limkokwing University 2015

_SAM6558
The 'Creativity in Motion' fashion show by Limkokwing University happened on the 2nd of July @ Starhill Gallery. Such an extravagant event is held annually to allow their graduating students from the Faculty of Fashion and Lifestyle Creativity showcase their best work to the public, potential recruiters, family and friends.

The glamorous atmosphere was filled with many talented and beautiful people. We were definitely in it for a fabulous night of Fashion, Music and Art!

Lights, Camera, ACTION!

My personal favorite of the night! Elaborate and sensuous. 

In all honesty, if I was there without knowing all these beautiful designs were by the students of Limkokwing, I'd probably think they were all designed by renowned fashion designers. Every piece had its own unique recipe, very well-thought-out designs with meticulous details. By Limkokwing giving these aspiring fashion designers the chance to stage their work has immediately help them open up the passage to many great opportunities.

I feel immensely proud of everyone who was involved in this production as they've truly outdone themselves with leaving the audience in awe by putting such a fantastic show! *many many applause*

Unfortunately I didn't capture all of the collections so do check out their official website for more details and pictures! CLICK ME :)

Novotel Kuala Lumpur: Bazaar Desa

Ramadan is here and this year Novotel KL City Centre has put together an amazing buffet spread called "Bazaar Desa" from 20th June to 15th July. Bringing together all the different local  food that is often found during this holy month under one roof. Their Executive Chef Huzaidy and team has came up with 3 different menu on rotation with over 100 traditional Malay dishes! There is no better way to break your fast with a wide selection of flavorful local delights!

The specials would be Banana with Cheese, Mee Rebus Tulang, Kacang Pool & condiments, their signature Oven Roasted Lamb, chicken/beef satay, 3 selections of Laksa and Khatirah Juice!

I didn't get to take picture of every dish but these are probably enough for you to salivate!

Khatirah, peach tea, bandung coconut, sugar cane, sweet corn juice
Thirst quenchers!
They also have hot drinks and to my surprise they had my favorite soya bean with the correct amount of sweetness!

Beef Satay
Satay has gotta be one of my all time favorite local food, BEEF satay to be exact! Can't live without my beef! From experience, buffets normally serve scrawny looking satay unlike the ones here that are chunky and much tender! Definitely up to standard! *2 thumbs up*
