Yours truly was over at the ICE Gallery in Pantai Sentral
Park with my daughter to celebrate and check out IJM Land’s Good Coffee Day 2.0 there…
In case you are wondering, Pantai Sentral Park, which is believed
to be Kuala Lumpur’s One and Only Urban Forest City is a 58-acre integrated
city development with a gross development value of RM2.5 billion. This
township, set against the beautiful 200 acre forest in Bukit Kerinchi is believed
to consist of 7 residential phases and 6 commercial phases should be completed
in about 10-15 years time and should accommodate some 15,000 residents…
This magnificent township will integrate residential,
commercial and recreational together offering up the best in living, business
and entertainment…
The first two residential phases, which is the 38-storey
Inwood Residences and the 41-storey Secoya Residences have so far been launched…

Coffee is what most people
drink… , but did you know that coffee actually comes from the seeds of
the coffea berries plants… and coffee is a very healthy drink, loaded in with antioxidants
and beneficial nutrients that can improve our health… and many people cannot
live without their daily cup of this dark delicacy…
IJM Land decided to treat all coffee lovers to an amazing
day immersed in all things coffee related while allowing visitors to soak in
the Yuletide spirit…
We got to meet Daniel Liew, the founder of the Barista Guild
of Asia, one of just a handful of people who is a globally certified trainer
and certifier with the prestigious Authorized Speciality Coffee and learn more
about how coffee is grown, cultivated,
harvested, processed , roasted and brewed…. As well as how to French Press
brew, V60, Aeropress and Clever Dripper…
We also learned how to differentiate from fresh coffee and
stale coffee… and how the best coffee can be found in the mountains…or places with higher altitude..
Pantai Sentral Park’s tagline is People. Planet. Priority,
which is why they decided to organize this event, knowing full well that a cup
of coffee having the ability to create a light hearted and comfortable
environment of shared pleasure and conversations…
However, the non –coffee fans like my daughter who attended
the Coffee Day 2.0 also enjoyed the
festivities beginning with Santa and Santarina welcoming guests and handing out
peppermint candy canes, home made nougat tasting by Eva’s Homemade Nougat…
Then there was some super yummy Japanese inspired waffles by
Grid and Go, which came in a variant of mouthwatering flavours, crispy yet so
chewy..…
Kids were fascinated by actress Tania Zara, the glamourous
founder of Coffee Jeans and Co, who gave guests a chance to decorate their own
cupcakes
Harold’s Academy impressed our palates with adorable
gingerbread men, icing cookies and delicious chocolate lava tarts…
Sketcher Fruit Ice lollies /ice cream potong served up
delicious ice lollies… I personally could not get enough of the durian ones…
Then there is the amazing Vivian Lees who creates amazing
artwork using coffee… my daughter had a caricature done of her in Coffee..
Coffee is so amazing as not only can you drink it, you can
also paint with it… and what do you know… bathe in it… FAWN Beauty Co
fascinated us further with their all natural , hand crafted Cacao and Coffee
Organic Body Scrub, just perfect for a wake me up pampering in the morning….
My daughter who is not quite a coffee drinker loved the
Matcha Green Tea drink coffee2GO served up along with other cold brewed coffee…
And yes, there were also delicious nasi lemak and fried beehoon served...
….while I indulged with a relaxing cup of latte… but with none
other then Coffex Coffee….
I had an amazing time trying my hand out for the first time,
even though I failed to successfully create my own mug or vase at the pottery
wheel throwing by Kaleidos Art Tune… my creation decided to break under my
inexperienced hands…. But it was nevertheless a good try…
We left the venue a few hours later after admiring the
gorgeous Secoya Residences show rooms and getting a back rub at the massage arm
chairs available for free, happy and sated, all thanks to IJM Land…

ReplyDeleteI like this place. I was here the other night, I've been there for about four or five hours and found the prices reasonable on all fronts and the staff to be so friendly. I would be the perfect person to have on an infomercial for Los Angeles event venues if they ever had one.
