Launch of Bintang Walk's Stairway to Debenhams KL, Debenhams Cafe and Debenhams 2012 Autumn/Winter Collection fashion showcase

Last year, Debenhams moved from Lot 10 to Starhill and personally I prefer their location in Starhill for few reasons. It is much more happening area and a bigger floor than their previous location! Yes I always love UK fashion but there is one thing that always stop me from going which is the accessibility and I will tell you why.

Debenhams KL is now currently located at the Starhill Gallery's Explore floor (2nd floor) and previously the only way to go to the store is that we got to walk through the mall (floor by floor) either by going up through escalator/lift to get to Debenhams. And for someone who has 1 hour lunch break and decided to go to skip lunch and go shopping in Debenhams will actually end up having 30mins to shop after walking 5-10 mins (considering that we are wearing heels and address arrive) through escalator to go to the store. Evem taking lift also need to wait right?.

 -Eric Eoon, Executive Director for YTL Land and Andy Jackson, Managing Director  for Debenhams Malaysia cutting the ribbon to officiate the opening of Stairway to Debenhams

So with that in mind YTL decided to enchance Bintang Walk by launching the new escalator which now allows convenient access to visitors straight to Debenhams directly from the street.

 

-Joseph Yeoh Vice president for YTL Land and Development; YTL Hotels and Properties Eric Eoon Executive and Andy Jackson Managing Director for Debenhams Malaysia

The new air-conditioned escalator is named "Stairway to Debenhams" is encapsulated  by a sleek frame which complements the contemporary design of Starhill Gallery. And it is located exactly on the right side of the building (just behind Sephora), which will takes you straight up to the store.

 

Entrance to the shopping heaven

Besides launching the Stairway to Debenhams,  Starhill Gallery also launched the Debenhams Cafe where we can relax with a cup of traditional British tea in the open air ambience of Bintang Walk at the foot of the escalator or another Debenhams Caffe on Starhill Gallery’s Explore floor right outside Debenhams. 

And this is perfect for tired shoppers to take a break before continuing shopping! And I think my boyfriend would be more than happy to sit and enjoy his cup of hot coffee while waiting for me to do my shopping!

The menu

At the launched we are served with traditional British delicacies daily, including a range of healthy salads, scrumptious Prawn Cocktail Sandwiches, traditional Ham and Cheese Toasties and delicious Steak and Chicken Pies which are served with a helping of Mash Potato. And all this is in their menu!

Besides that, Debenhams also launched their Autumn/Winter collection 2012, which comes from my favourite top British designer Julien Mcdonald alongside with Jasper Conran and Henry Holland.

 Debenhams A/W 2012 fashion showcase the latest collections for men and women with models with the first winter collection Army Theme with a military insipired look 

We have a showcase of checks and plaids Town & Country theme which is based on the strong British heritage of neat ‘hacking’ jackets, pencil skirts, trousers, shift dresses and coats that have been designed with colours of winter greens, dark chocolate and burnt orange.

 

Traditional winter dark colours along with stylish metal buttons and neat shoulder epaulettes has combined to create some of the most stunning designs of the season. Elaborate rich fabrics are a must have for the season with the Rich & Opulent theme which works well on shirts and dresses.

Leopard prints never go out of season!

Beautiful yellow print which is easy to match whether it is blouse, dress or tops!

For the men, this Autumn/Winter season they can go choose from nautical themed Cruel Sea which carries a range of stylish garments such as hooded smock jackets.

 

The English countryside can integrate with Malaysia as men can don clothes from the Heritage theme which includes brushed cotton shirts and cord trousers in earthy browns, tan and forest green colours.

 

Here comes my favourite designer, Julien Macdonalds which made sheer panels, lace details, exposed zips and peephole details on his Autumn/Winter collection is Star’ and ‘Diamond’ collections, all to give a sexy feel.

And this is my favourite dress!

Oh that's me before I cut my hair away!

NEW: Bubbles & Bites in Highlands Hotel, Genting

Remembered last week I posted that I was in Genting and I tried a total of 16 mooncakes flavours (click here to read), so after that we were brought to this new place names Bubbles & Bites. I heard of this place prior to this from JQ as she wanted to suggest this place for lunch when I met her up in Genting but end up we are at another place because I was too lazy to walk over. Ah so finally managed to try this new place! 

We were told that Bubbles & Bites was opened a while back in July 2012 and it is a casual continental cottage cuisine with a rustic concept that specialize in pizza and pastas.

Fresh salad bar at the counter! 

The fridge! Everyone surrounding it because it has really cool selection of miniature bottles of sparkling wines, alcoholic sodas, juices, soft drinks, beers and wines from all around the world & yay we get to pick what we want to drink! 

Bottled fruit juices, these are imported from New Zealand. Very healthy and delicious!

I picked up this cute bottle of Australian Bundaberg Root Beer to try, it is not as gassy as I thought it would be. 

Can't help but to pose with Darren from Nuffnang with this Root beer bottle that looked like hospital's medicine bottle to me

 And if you are not a big fan of juice & root beer there is alcoholic beverages served here. Some of them took the opportunity to try some of these.

And these!

Lemon & Orange cocktails

And that is Charmaine happily enjoying her drink before we all start to attack the food!

Here is what we have ...

 Caesar Salad - RM15

Our starter! It have garden fresh baby romaine lettuce, garlic croutons, egg, beef bacon with creamy house caesar dressing and topped with smoked salmon. 

Al Dente Spaghetti -RM19.00

Cooked with a wine, garlic, tomato & seafood. I love how the seafood was generously spread here & it tasted good.

 8 hour slow braised lamb shank - RM23

Honestly I'm not a lamb person so I didn't try but I was told that this was really good as only the bones left after picture was taken! For a 8 hour slow braised lamb shank , this is only RM23! 

Pizza Carbonara - RM21

This has creamy base with button mushrooms, chicken ham, spring onions, garlic and parmesan cheese.

 Home-style Macaroni & Cheese -RM15

This is one of our favourite because the cheese is literally flooding each & every macaroni! Very sinful I know but very smooth & rich in taste!  

 Isle of Capri - RM21

Has rich tomato base with sliced turkey ham, mushrooms, spanish red onion, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, grilled red capsicum and plump anchovies.

 Thai Red Curry Seafood -RM21.00

Thai red curry sauce base, tiger prawns, marinated calamari, mussels, mushrooms & lychees with mozzarella cheese. There is no secret that I love Thai food but I think this red curry flavour does not give enough kick!

Lam Lee Burger - RM20

Lam Lee and Ramlee sounds familiar? This is the signature classic Malaysian street burger that we all loved! 

This burger can feed 2 persons I think!  

 Peri Peri Chicken Wings - RM16 for 2 pairs of chicken wings

Of all things I tried, this is my favourite I must said! Must try , very appetizing.. can't go wrong with Peri Peri sauce! We actually re-ordered this because it's so delicious!

We also have some Desserts after that!

 Bread & Butter Pudding

 Cheese cake

 Tiramisu with purple cotton candy. 

Me & JQ 

After so much food must take picture with my sweet JQ. Finally she is back from Genting! Miss seeing her around in events when she was in Genting Highlands doing her internship! 

Last but not least a group picture of us saying Cheer! I like how this Bubbles & Bites has a private lounge area upstairs where we can chill & chat with our drinks after our heavy lunch!
