\n16th June 2014: I was down in Pavilion for the KL Fashion Week 2014. Spot the minister!<\/p>\n


\nNo seriously, I was there to check out TDH Project<\/b> (it was Monday.)<\/p>\n

Got there a bit early, and had myself a pork burger. Also ordered peppermint tea.<\/p>\n

They got back to me, saying peppermint tea was out, so I ordered lime juice instead.<\/p>\n

They got back to me, saying lime juice was out, so I ordered orange juice instead.<\/p>\n


\nThe show started about 10pm.<\/p>\n


\nClinton Liew on keys! Amazingly talented musician.<\/p>\n


\nDean Sim, who has one heck of a killer guitar tone and licks with feel.<\/p>\n


\nI don’t know this bassist.<\/p>\n


\nI don’t know this vocalist, either.<\/p>\n


\nI know this drummer though, Jared Cheow.<\/p>\n

Before the show, a waiter asked if I’d like another drink, to which I said no.<\/p>\n

I was asked again, later. During the show, I was also asked if I’d like a beer, that I’d need to buy a drink to stay for the show.<\/p>\n

Whether this business practice helps with staying afloat, I don’t know, because I felt like leaving and not returning to Tom Dick Harry’s Pavilion, out of principle. Understandably, the restaurant may do this as rental is high – but does rental need to be that high, even if you take into account location? Everything is inflated. We’re in a property bubble. You can earn more than 80% of Malaysian households and yet not afford property (because they either only sell low-cost or high-end.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
