Element Kuala Lumpur Celebrates Culinary Excellence with “A Culinary Celebration” 3-Course Menu

Hello Everyone,

In conjunction with International Chefs Day, Element by Westin Kuala Lumpur proudly presents “A Culinary Celebration”, a special 3-course menu at its sky-high dining destination, TRACE Restaurant & Bar. This limited-time offering pays tribute to the hotel’s talented culinary team for their remarkable achievements at Culinaire Malaysia 2025, one of the region’s most prestigious culinary competitions.

Available from October 11 to November 9, 2025, every Saturday and Sunday from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM, the menu invites diners to indulge in an exquisite dining experience set against breathtaking city views on Level 40 of Element Kuala Lumpur.

The three main course selections in this special menu are the award-winning creations that impressed the judges at Culinaire Malaysia 2025 — the Bulgogi Glazed Beef Loin with Spinach-Infused Mousse by Chef de Partie Eirfan Mifzhal (Silver Medal), the Pan-Seared Salmon with Layered Saffron Potato by Commis Anisa Samson (Bronze Medal), and the Smoked Glazed Duck à la Pistachio by Commis Danish Aqasha (Certificate of Diploma). Each dish was conceptualized by these young chefs and refined under the mentorship of Element Kuala Lumpur’s senior culinary team.

“A Culinary Celebration” experience begins with a Crustacean Bisque Soup, a velvety blend of lobster, prawn, crab, and fish broth, served with a freshly baked bread roll and butter.

For the main course, diners may choose from three exquisite options:

The Bulgogi Glazed Beef Loin with Spinach-Infused Mousse, is inspired by the classic Beef Wellington, reimagined with a creative twist. Instead of puff pastry, the chef replaces it with a delicate beef mousse wrapped in spinach mousse, creating a rich yet balanced texture. The dish is beautifully complemented by a layered pistachio potato trio, offering both visual artistry and refined flavor.

The Pan-Seared Salmon with Layered Saffron Potato features sustainably sourced salmon topped with to a golden layer of saffron potato. It is served with a homemade black Parmesan tart, naturally colored with squid ink and filled with lobster mousse, creating a striking and flavorful combination.

The Smoked Glazed Duck à la Pistachio highlights locally sourced Bidor duck from Perak, a town known for its quality poultry, presented in a refined modern style. The tender duck breast is paired with freshly glazed berries, adding a touch of natural sweetness that enhances the dish’s smoky and nutty notes.

The meal concludes on a sweet note with the Ferrero Brûlée Entremets, accompanied by fresh berries, vanilla crumble, and salted caramel gelato — a delightful finale to this elevated dining experience.

Element Kuala Lumpur General Manager Mandy Ooi expressed her pride and appreciation for the team’s accomplishments, saying, “Our young chefs have made us immensely proud with their talent and passion. This special menu is our way of letting them shine while also expressing our gratitude to the culinary management team for their invaluable guidance.”

Priced at RM148 nett per person, “A Culinary Celebration” is available exclusively for one month, offering diners a limited opportunity to savor the award-winning creations of Element Kuala Lumpur’s rising culinary talents. Reservation is required at least one day in advance to ensure a seamless dining experience.

the Curve Shines Bright with a “Luminous Deepavali” Celebration

Hello Everyone,

This October, the Curve invites shoppers and families to bask in the radiance of Deepavali with its festive campaign, “Luminous Deepavali: Blessings in Every Bloom, Light in Every Corner.” From 3 to 20 October, the mall’s Centre Court will be transformed into a dazzling space of colour, culture, and celebration, reflecting the true spirit of the Festival of Lights.

“Deepavali is a time of light, joy and renewal that celebrates the triumph of good and evil, as well as unity,” said Ms Elaine Liew, General Manager of the Curve. “At the Curve, we wanted to capture this essence by offering not only vibrant festive experiences, but also by meaningful opportunities for our community to come together, celebrate, and share blessings.”

Bringing the spirit of the season to life, the Curve’s Centre Court will dazzle with radiant orange arches adorned with Indian-inspired designs and lanterns, leading to a magnificent giant diya surrounded by a vibrant kolam, colourful florals, and elegant peacock displays - all glowing under a festive chandelier of paper fans and tassels. Complementing the decor is the lively Saravedi Bazaar, featuring local vendors offering everything from festive sweets to sarees, and accessories, underscoring the Curve’s commitment to supporting SMEs and the community during this season of light.

In the true spirit of Deepavali, the Curve is spreading light beyond its walls through a meaningful corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. In partnership with SKJT Ladang Edinburgh, the Curve will help refurbish the school's reading facilities, by creating a warm and inviting mini library and reading corner. This initiative includes repainting the walls and providing brand-new bookshelves, tables, and chairs to offer students a refreshed, comfortable space that inspires learning and imagination.

Adding to this, shoppers are encouraged to take part in the Curve’s “Kongsi Kindness” initiative happening from 3 to 20 October. A special donation booth will be set up at the Centre Court where visitors can drop off essential items such as biscuits, cooking oil, shower gels, and other daily necessities. All contributions collected during the campaign will be donated to a selected charity home after the celebration, sharing the joy and blessings of Deepavali with those in need.

“the Curve is proud to be more than just a shopping destination. We want to be a place where celebrations are meaningful and heartfelt,” added Ms Elaine Liew, General Manager of the Curve. “Through every activity, initiative, and gesture, we hope our shoppers are able to create lasting memories while they embrace the spirit of Deepavali with us.”

Visitors can look forward to a vibrant line-up of cultural performances - from classical Bharathanatyam, Kathakali, Odissi, and Vilakku dances to lively Bollywood and fusion showcases. Beyond the stage, shoppers can take part in interactive workshops such as rangoli making, saree draping, henna art, laddu making, flower tying, and masala tea preparation, offering hands-on ways to experience the richness of Indian heritage. Shoppers can join the fun at the Deepavali Word Search Wall, just find a word, snap a photo, and tag @thecurve_official on social media for a chance to win exciting shopping vouchers.

To make this festive shopping more exciting, the Curve is offering special Gift-with-Purchase (GWP) programmes:

● Spend RM100 and redeem an exclusive set of Luminous packets.

Zepp Kuala Lumpur ‘Dilanggar’ Dua Pemuzik Gergasi 1 Februari Ini

Hi Semua,

Republic Mokhmah Records membuka pentas penganjuran daripada syarikatnya di tahun 2026 dengan sebuah kolaborasi pemuzik terbaik yang pernah dan masih relevan dalam belantika muzik tempatan.

Kristal X and Azlan & The Typewriter. Zepp Kuala Lumpur pada 1 Februari 2026 dengan judul Rockolusi Kuasa Dua.

Inilah informasi paling penting yang patut masuk dalam kalender anda jika lagu-lagu seperti Memburu Impian, Luahan Hati, Suatu Kenangan dan Seragam Hitam daripada Kristal X yang sudah cukup lama tidak dipersembahkan secara langsung.

Begitu juga buat penggemar Azlan & The Typewriter yang lagunya, Jangan khianati Aku menjadi fenomena sampai ke Indonesia, datang serta nikmati sendiri karya ini daripada vokalis dengan kemampuan menyanyi dalam nada tinggi ini secara langsung.

Dengan reputasi dan kumpulan peminat yang telah lama serta tidak pernah meninggalkan Kristal X juga Azlan & The Typewriter, Republic Mokhmah Records berasa konsert yang dianjurkan di Zepp Kuala Lumpur pada 1 Februari 2026 ini adalah inisiatif terbaik mengembalikan semarak karya kedua-dua pemuzik yang cukup berprolifik ini.

“Kristal X adalah sebuah kugiran legenda yang pernah lahir dalam belantika muzik tanah air. Bayangkan sewaktu penubuhannya, Kristal X masih remaja dan telah mendapat khidmat karyawan belakang tabir yang hebat. Mereka menghasilkan lagu-lagu yang malar segar seperti Seragam Hitam dan ‘menghidupkan semula’ Memburu Impian melalui penampilan serta persembahan yang energetik. Maka Republic Mokhmah Records mahu mengembalikan nostalgia itu serta mempersembahkan betapa Kristal sudah menjadi ‘semakin ganas’ seiring mereka dewasa dalam industri. Dan adalah lebih mengujakan apabila vokalis yang sangat disegani Azlan, bersetuju untuk tampil dalam Rockolusi Kuasa Dua: Kristal X and Azlan The Typewriter. Untuk generasi milenial, Azlan adalah salah seorang vokalis terbaik yang pernah dilahirkan di Malaysia dan buat generasi masa kini, selain Jangan Khianati Aku, saya akan pastikan anda lebih jatuh cinta dengan beliau menerusi karya-karya berkualiti yang pernah dimiliki sepanjang karieri,” ujar Encik Musa dari Republic Mokhmah Records.

Kolaborasi Kristal X and Azlan The Typewriter juga kata Musa adalah bukti dua pemuzik legenda ini tidak pernah dilupakan dengan lambakan konsert yang diadakan sepanjang tahun.

“Saya amat berbesar hati menerima lamaran Republic Mokhmah Records berkongsi pentas dengan Kristal X kerana reputasi dan ikut membesar bersama karya mereka. Kristal X and Azlan & The Typewriter juga akan menjadi saksi kami ada dan kami ‘hidup’. Inilah waktu untuk anda keluar dana menikmati Kristal X and Azlan & The Typewriter secara langsung secara eksklusif setelah sekian lama menanti konsert daripada kami,” ujar Alan.

Kelainan yang bakal dibawakan dalam konsert kali ini bilamana akan melibatkan kumpulan koir NOGHORI ARTS SCHOOL VOICE ENSEMBLE atau NASVE.

Apa yang menarik, kumpulan koir ini adalah juara peringkat negeri dan pemenang ke-empat peringkat kebangsaan.

Selain itu, dalam kumpulan koir ini ianya dianggotai oleh anak kedua-dua vokalis Kristal X Azlan and The Typewriter iaitu anak kepada Lan Solo dan Azlan menjadikan konsert tersebut akan lebih menarik.

Mereka juga akan sama-sama membuat persembahan dalam konsert berskala besar ini dengan kerjasama daripada Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri Sembilan.

Malah lagu ini turut disajikan buat pertama kalinya lagu Rockolusi di sidang media yang diadakan di Ideas Hotel Kuala Lumpur. Lagu baru ini nyanyian kedua kumpulan ini yang bertajuk Rockolusi terinspirasi dari tema Konsert Rockolusi Kuasa Dua.

Oleh yang demikian, peminat boleh membeli tiket mengikut kategori bermula RM168, RM188, RM248, RM348 dan seterusnya Royal Box, RM8000 untuk 10 orang di https://www.ilassotickets.com . Tiket telah dijual sejak Selasa, 23 September jam 3 petang.

Rockolusi Kuasa Dua Kristal X and Azlan & The Typewriter bukan sekadar konsert tapi saksi nyata betapa industri muzik tempatan memiliki banyak pemuzik yang masih relevan, perlu diberi peluang dan terus disokong.

Selamat melakar sejarah bersama Kristal X and Azlan & The Typewriter di ZEPP Kuala Lumpur pada 1 Februari 2026 ini.
