Iced Cold Beer,What's your type?- Part II

Hello my dear awesome people, today I am back again to share with you guys on choices of beers for those who call themselves casual beer drinkers. Are you one of those people who take beer just for casual purposes, this post is just for you!


One of the beers that you can try is Paulaner Hefe-Weiβbier Naturtrüb (Germany) with the ABV of 5.5%. This is a type of wheat beer, brewed with huge proportion of wheat in adding to malted barley. Also usually known as white beer, naturally lighter than dark beer, and generally goes well with most food. Once you take your first sip, you will be instantly drawn to its faint orange hue that keeps a steady cloudiness just like the rest of wheat beers. Paulaner drinks complimented with spikes of banana, wheat and clove fragrance. It is also very creamy, however not heavy.




Kirin Ichiban (Japan) with the ABV of 5% is another type of beer that you can give it a shot. It’s American Pale Lager, also known as ‘all-malt’, owns a bigger depth of malt flavor and bitterness. It tastes smooth, clean and crisp. Taste a little sweet malt on the beginning, zippy in the middle, and a good balance of hops when you finish.




Grimbergen Double-Ambrée (Belgium) with the ABV of 6.5% is also a very good choice for occasional beer drinkers. The style of this beer is Belgian-style dubbel ale, which went through two fermentations, outdoes the traditional beers originally created by Trappist or monastery breweries in the 1850s. How does it taste you ask? The beer displays a dark reddish brown with a foamy, off-white head. The smooth toasted malt flavor soon replaced with hints of raisins, toffee and dry fruit, which suggest the dominant sweet and fruity flavor of ales. It continues to taste sweet till the end, and then delivers a faint flavor of spice and earthiness.




Last but not least, casual beer drinkers can also try Little Creatures Pale Ale (Australia) with the ABV of 5.2%. Originated from the British, the style has a equal share of malt and hops. The bitterness can vary from floral to pungent. The American Pale Ale is lighter in colour compare to English Pale Ale, as distinguished by the use of American hops. The taste is refreshing and suggestive of grape, a very good alternative for our hot days. But it’s the beer’s unique lychee note that stands out the most– honeyed fruit blends nicely with malt to make this one of our favourite beers. 

Quite a number of choices eh? Have you found what you like yet? Nope? No worries, next week I will be posting on choices of beers for beer purist, who knows? You might find what you like over there. Till then, have a good weekend, bye-bye!

Unusual Moon Cake

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! The best part of being a Malaysian is you get to celebrate every single festival no matter you belong to which ethnicity! Since it’s the mid-autumn festival today, I am going to share some unusual (virtual) moon cakes that you can get in Kuala Lumpur! So, shall we?




In The Westin Kuala Lumpur, you can get Red Tea Coffee Black Raisin, exactly like the beverage version of CHAM, mixed beverage of tea and coffee. A perfect blend of both that delivers a light and fragrant taste. Unique? Yes. Second bite? No thanks.


This is a personal favorite of mine. Mini snowskin chocolate with Dulce de Leche praline, almond and hazelnut. What a long name! This intensely dark chocolate is mixed with espresso. Well, this is the type of moon cake which you either love it or hate it. The caramel overwhelms the bitterness and can be taste slightly. Otherwise, the snowskin is some of the smoothest to slice through, and gives you a soft, tender bite. If you are a fan, head over to Shangri-La hotel Kuala Lumpur now!



Another favorite of mine is from Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur, White chocolate with lychee filling and chocolate caviar. The white chocolate skin is pretty hard and will only break with a hard crack of a spoon, but once the shell is break open, the dark chocolate filling is creamy, and oozed out like a truffle. You can taste a tinge of lychee in the middle of the chocolate; however it’s the chocolate that shines! Complete yummers!


Next moon cake comes with bright yellow color; this one will make the perfect gift! These petite sized moon cakes are called as Mini snowskin with passion fruit cheesecake from Prince hotel. As you sink your teeth into these cute little moon cakes, the passion fruit comes as shocking but once you find the cheese, the blend of sweet and savory gives the moon cake a sweet balance.




One of the prettiest moon cakes that I have seen this year. Moët & Chandon Rosé Imperial Champagne Mini Ping Pei from The Ritz Carlton Hotel. A super sweet filling of lotus is nicely wrapped in soft snowskin. The rose taste is very light but gives a nice sour edge to the moon cake.


Woah, that’s a whole lot of choice! Where would you be buying your moon cake from this year? No matter where you will be buying your moon cake, remember to share it around with your friend, kick back and relax by enjoying the glamorous full moon tonight. After all, that’s the core reason the festival is all about. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival all!
