INDULGE, the first luxury cinema in TGV 1 Utama

When the word 'cinema' comes to mind, you will think of long queues for tickets, occasionally uncomfortable seatings, and rushing to get the best seats so you don't have to suffer the consequences of seating in the front row which will result in neck ache.

TGV Cinemas recently launched two exclusive cinema halls that comes with its own private ticketing counter, lounge and dining area! Indulge is TGV Cinemas' latest unique cinema concept that represents the essence of style coupled together with the concept of cinema.

Thank to Butterfly Project for organizing the Butterfly Girls Night Out where we get to indulge in a fun night of luxury with food, chatter and movie. It was great catching up with the bloggers as I have not been to a number of Butterfly Project event for a while now due to work and I am glad to have joined the event! Everyone was dressed very glamorous and sexy as the theme was dress to kill!

Indulge is located inside TGV One Utama itself, where at a moment you will forget that you are actually in a cinema due to the lounge setting that welcomes you with the soft jazzy tones.

The rich purple and silver facade makes the entire area look classy

Check out the cool bar!

I love the fact that Indulge serves food so that you don't have to walk around thinking what to eat and then rushing back to the cinema when the movie is starting. You can just chill and eat comfortably while waiting for the movie to start.

While waiting for the food to be served, we took some pictures at the 123 Cheese photo booth where we had a fun choosing props and doing silly poses!

Besides the photo booth, Muse by Watsons was there to showcase the skincare brand 'Indeed Laboratories' where we got to take back one of the product with us. There products that was introduced were:

1. Nanoblur - skin perfecting cream that minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and pores

2. Pepta-Bright - a moisture rich cream that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots while promoting overall skin radiance.

3. Retinol Reface - A deritative of vitamin A that is considered to be one of the most effective ingredients to help reduce visible signs of aging.

Let the feast begin!

Smoked Duck Salad

Smoked duck breast served with mesclun greens, capsicum, and skewed kiwi with balsamic dressing

Pumpkin Salad
Rocket leaves with honey roasted pumpkin, cherry tomatoes, and capsicum with balsamic dressing

Stuffed Potato Skins

Nutty Tortilla Banana

After our delicious meal, the winners for the best dressed were announced! They get to bring back products from Muse by Watsons.

We then moved on to the cinema hall to watch the movie.


The cinema hall is really impressive with spacious seats that is fitted with reclining chairs!

They even have a mini table at the side which enables you bring food in via the personalized call-waiter-service.

Another amazing thing is these lovely blankets at Indulge that keep you warm when enjoy a movie. Most of the time, cinema halls are freezing which is not helpful to people like me who are afraid of the cold where even one layer of jacket does not help which sometimes spoil my mood as I am feeling cold most of the time and not able to enjoy my movie. With this blanket, it keeps me warm and I am able to snuggle up comfortably and enjoy my movie without worrying about getting frozen!

Happy me being tucked in comfortable before the movie starts

Movie buddy of the night - Cindy! We have both watched Lucy before so we were sat comfortably while discussing certain parts that we don't understand. It's a nice movie but some parts were quite confusing to me. Overall, it was a great night out with everyone from the Butterfly Project and of course being in Indulge itself was a whole new cinematic experience :)

Indulge is opened from 11am with tickets priced at RM45 (not including meals). For more information about Indulge and to book tickets, please log on to www.tgv.com.my or via TGV Cinemas' Movie Buddy app which is available on both Apple App and Google Play Store.

Miam Miam Cafe @ One Utama

When Miam Miam first opened in One Utama, I saw a lot of my friends posting about it on Instagram. I did not try it until a couple of months ago as there is always a long line at the cafe and I don't frequent malls as much anymore. Usually, I would opt to go during non peak hours so that you get the seats faster. It is always filled with customers all day long... service wise, it is ok as I have encountered both staff that is good and bad.

Crowd during dinner time. Waited outside for about 15 minutes  :)

Berries Soda, RM13.80

Iced Matcha Latte with Softee, RM13.80

Matcha Smoothie with Red Bean, RM13.80

Matcha Souffle, RM16.80

Miam Miam Spaghetti, RM26.80

French Toast, RM16.80

I have been here for about 3 times now but usually it is to order their famous French Toast. The wait for the french toast is minimum 45 minutes and it is really antagonizing while watching everyone eat around you. But to me it is worth the wait as the french toast is so soft and fluffy! The only thing is missing is that they use cream as a topping instead of ice cream! It would be heavenly if they had ice cream to top it off....

This caramelised banana pancake taste amazing as well! The ice cream is really smooth and tasty which I wish they put this on the french toast instead :P

Petite Millie @ One Utama

If you want to try something different after shopping in 1 Utama, head over to Petite Millie for dinner :)

Tried out this place during Father's Day and I was really happy with it. It's a place that serves French cuisine :)

The bright interior. I ordered this drink because of it's funky name "Leprechaun's Brew". Not fantastic because it tasted more like ice cocoa :P

Tea

Portobello Salad

Comes with Comte Cheese, bell pepper relish and more :)

Avocado and Crab Tarte Flambee

If you're expecting your normal cheesy pizza then no..this if different. A thin dough is baked and topped with crab meat and avocado. It's really tasty :)

Emilla's Tagliatelle al Duck Ragu

Apart from the Duck Confit at Delicious, this is another duck spaghetti that I found to like. The sauce is really good!

Country Side Mill's Lamb Cutlets

The waiter recommended this and they didn't disappoint! 

It was my birthday as well so they gave me a complimentary dessert.

Overall, this place is worth going to. The price is reasonable and their staff are friendly too :)

Petite Millie is located at:

Lot G 146, Ground Floor,

1 Utama Shopping Centre.

Food of The Day #3

 Walked around One Utama after dinner and found this new place called Hokkaido Ichiba in the Old Wing. There's a lot of construction going on at the Old Wing of One Utama and therefore this place is quite hard to locate at the moment.

Decided to try out their desserts after looking at the menu :P

Strawberry Waffle, RM9.80

The portion is quite small but the waffle and ice cream taste good nonetheless :)

 Double Scoop Ice Cream + Waffle Basket, RM7.80

The ice cream was lovely but the waffle basket wasn't great. Preferred the waffle from the Strawberry Waffle above.

Hokkaido Ice Cream @ Hokkaido Ichiba is located at:

One Utama,
Lower Ground Floor, LG101BB

Contact no: 03- 77270020

(If you know where the huge chinese herb store is, then you just have to walk all the way straight till the end. You'll pass by McD's and Sakae Sushi)

Wacoal 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign @ 1 Utama

Was invited to the launch of Wacoal 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign on 1st October.

The Pink Ribbon Campaign is to help spread awareness on early detection of breast cancer as breast cancer is one of the major killer of women in Malaysia! Wacoal invited two celebrities, Elaine Daly and Debbie Goh to launch the campaign.

Besides the launch, the two day event is also filled with fun activities and also complimentary breast checkup from Assunta Hospital.

Finish the activity from the card and you'll get some gifts! I must say that the event was really helpful for those who wants to know more about breast cancer.

Remamma is a brand under Wacoal specially designed for breast cancer patients who have gone through breast removal surgery. Wacoal will provide unique services on prosthesis and special brassieres.

Educational information for the ladies to know more about their breast.


How to wear your bra correctly.



They also had people to help you get your correct measurements for your bra size because most of the time, women buy the wrong sizes. If you're not sure, always ask the staff to get your measurements and the correct bra size for you :)

The event was then kick started with the launch by Executive Director of Wacoal Malaysia, Mr Hisau Sugiyama and its Director/General Manager, Mr Vincent Leong, along with Elaine Daly and Debby Goh.


Debbie Goh and Elaine Daly sharing their tips on how to lead a healthy lifestyle and on breast cancer prevention.
