Haunted Hotel 怨灵 @ MBO,The Starling Mall

As a horror fans, I'm always fascinated with the movie excitement and shock moments even if most of the times they scared me like hell.
That's why I often can't keep my gaze whenever I go for the horror movies.
#lol Can't really explain why I still love it though sometimes the stories can be quite torturing.:)
Maybe because I love to be surprised by the unexpected scripts? #maybe
Just a week ago, I was invited to a premiere movie show at the new HBO cinema in The Starling Mall, Damansara Uptown.
If you are also a horror movie fans, then I've got a new horror movie for you today!



Haunted Hotel 怨灵 is directed by the award-winning scriptwriter-turned-director, Ryon Lee 李勇昌.
It is filmed at the Amber Court, one of the haunted hotels in Malaysia, and Karak Highway in Genting Highlands.
The movie showcase talents from 3 different counties; Sushar Manaying 李海娜 fromThailand, Teddy Chin 陈立谦 and Alvin Chong 钟瑾桦 from Malaysia and Li Chuan 李川 from China.



It's my first time watching a movie at the latest MBO cinemas in The Starling Mall, with high improved image quality and biggest cinema screen in Malaysia.
It is surely super awesome to have such excellent movie experience!



The MBO premier provides a super comfortable and luxury setting with recliner leather sofa.
The sofa seat and armrest are wider, and my legs feel comfortable with the rest leg seat too!



Also, a removable side table for a chilled-out time during the movies.
Though it's a premier cinema, but the beverages and snacks charges are at non-premium prices.
For example, a hot Cappuccino is just RM9!



Well, coming back to the movie synopsis.
The Haunted Hotel is about a young couple from China traveling to Genting Highlands, and due to some unforeseen circumstances, they end up staying at one of the Asia's most haunted hotel, Amber Court's famous 1174 room.
They wanted to leave the place soon after they realize the eerie situation that they are in, but it's not easy to escape the place at all.



During the press conference, both director, Ryon Lee and producer, Aron Koh said that the reason they filmed the movie at Amber Court is because they wanted to promote Malaysia.
Malaysia has many beautiful island attractions, and they hope to bring something different of Malaysia, such as the haunted attractions. #thatsinteresting
After knowing that Amber Court is the top haunted hotel in Asia, they both decided to make a movie of it.
There are many people talking about Malaysia on social medias, especially Genting Highlands, ever since the movie released,
They even heard that there are 2 tourists coming over from China and heading to amber Court for a stay.



The movie was filmed at it original location based on the story.
Aside from that, the production team successfully recruited actors and actress from 3 different countries in the filming process.
This is a fortunate opportunity toward the production team in making the movie more interesting.
Well, I think it is also a great opportunity for a movie that is under Malaysia production to be shown around 8000 cinemas all over in China. #Malaysiago



The whole movie had a unique story line which make it interesting to watch.
Sometimes, horror movies might be lengthy at the beginning but this movie started with a quick intro and it contains certain horrors and suspects.
I think this movie is worth a watch, not to mention it is filmed at the original place at Amber Court, there are also plenty of terrifying moments which are very lifting too.



Haunted Hotel will be released at all cinemas on 19th October 2017 (Thursday).
So, horror movie date, anyone?



It's a great pleasure to have the chance of watching the premier movie and also seeing Sushar Manaying in person.
She is very beautiful! :)


Last but not least, here's the preview of the Haunted Hotel.
If you enjoy horror movies, do give Haunted Hotel a go to show your love and support for a truly Malaysian film!

18g Private Kitchen & Wine @ Taman Danau Desa

Wine used to reserve for special occasions, but these days, wine is sort of like beer.
It becomes very common and that is something you can have everyday now.
However, I think the juncture of authentic Chinese food and good wine is a rare to find in the market, since most of the wine bars and restaurants serve only Western food.
If you need a break from Western food, but still want to enjoy good wines, 18g Private Kitchen & Wine is the place to go!
This new place has more than just a wine bar which combines excellent Chinese food in a cozy neighbourhood setting.





18g Private Kitchen & Wine is a new, charming wine bar restaurant that located at Taman Danau Desa.
It is operated by a couple, Terese and Ken in about 3 months ago.
Though the street parking can be extremely difficult to find in that area, but it's worth a visit for a tasty authentic Chinese food from Terese and best-picks wines from Ken. :)





You can't miss out the sharp red coat entrance that is so unique and eye-catching. :)







The restaurant bar is not too big but the overall ambiance is very relaxing.
The decor has an old meets new interior design, which mixing modern and vintage decor styles all together.
I find it is a cozy little restaurant to sip some good vibes and chat with friends.
Though the seating is quite limited, but there have enough tables for two, and big tables with couches for a big groups of guests.



You are welcome to host any private events or parties at 18g Private Kitchen & Wine.
 



The selection of wines at 18g Private Kitchen & Wine are broad and selective.
You can make your choice based on whatever kind of mood you're in tonight, your tastes, budgets, and also the food menu.



Salad of The Day @ RM18 includes several ingredients such as lettuce, cucumber, avocado, and grape tomatoes.
This salad has a strong vinegar flavour which can definitely stimulate your appetite before any other dishes.



These Mama's Meat Rolls @ RM18 are scrumptious!
The process of making the meat rolls is not easy, so people usually made these rolls for special festivals such as Chinese New Year Eve reunion dinner; but now you can have it anytime at 18g Private Kitchen & Wine.
Besides, this is also a great companion while you have a glass of wine with you!



Five of us shared the Chicken Wings @ RM18, with the fermented bean curd cubes for an appetizer.
The chicken wings came out super crispy on the outside, and still juicy on the inside.
My god! I was totally amazed by this finger food!





Pontian Prawn Panfried with Garlic @ RM42 serve with pan-fried fresh prawns, and toasted bread.
I was hoping for more sauces so that I can soak the bread with the amazing garlic sauce.



Cheese Platter @ RM38 that consists of 4 different type of cheeses such as chedder, smoke, bree and blue
My most favourite cheese is the soft and creamy bree and blue cheese!



Awww! Wine and cheese make the perfect pair!





Braised Meat with Mantou @ RM28, with very tasty tender braised pork belly in a hot bun, and the sauce that came with it was also very good.
The braised pork belly with the layers of fats might make you feel hesitate, but trust me the aroma of the dish will win you over!



Dry Fried Mee Siam @ RM20 has a combined taste of sweet, spicy and sour, and all flavours go really well together.
However, the noodle is too dry for me; I know Mee Siam supposed to be dry, but I think this is way too dry and I prefer to keep some moisture inside. :)



Stewed Pork Bee Hoon @ RM32, with a rich and flavourful gravy of stewed pork.
I like the moist of the bee hoon with it's savoury tasty gravy from the stewed pork.



Let's cheers to our friendship with a glass of wine. :)



I would say 18g Private Kitchen & Wine is an easy-going wine bar to relax and enjoy a glass of wine with friends or your partner for an evening.
The amazing wine choices and food pairing will surely keep you interested well into the whole night.
I like the different choices of cheese, chicken wings, and braised meat with mantou.
Though the menu is quite limited and some are slightly pricey, but they all are very good.
Nevertheless, we all had a wonderful evening and enjoyed the dining experience at here.
We hope to return again soon!
