KL 天后宮彩燈組合迎春Posted by j0hn____ in Untagged |

農曆新年跫音漸近，天后宮今年推陳出新，以“虎躍龍騰萬民歡”的主題，打造創意彩燈系列，其中“老虎家族”及“吉祥巨龍”兩大彩燈組合互相輝映，更極具立體感，寓意“虎虎生威，祥龍獻瑞”。
5座彩燈組合，分別為“老虎家族”、“吉祥巨龍”、“十八羅漢”、“迎賓拱門”及“青花瓷碗”，每款寓意深遠，而且氣勢磅礡，色彩斑斕，乃屬新年最具創意造景，非常吸引人。
其中，“老虎家族”彩燈組合高19.5尺，長46尺，每隻老虎神態及造型各異，盡顯“虎虎生威”的架勢，也生動刻畫出老虎“剛直不屈、生機勃勃、機靈溫馴、和諧共榮”的面貌。
至于寓意“祥龍獻瑞”的“吉祥巨龍”彩燈組合，也是天后宮另一獻禮，“吉祥巨龍”龍身全長191尺，龍頭昂起高達15尺，氣勢凌人。
配上以雜技方式呈獻的“老虎家族”，可謂相輔相成，切題反映出“虎躍龍騰萬民歡”的佳節美景。
天后宮也不忘為彩燈系列注入宗教元素，結合綢布及泥打造“十八羅漢”彩燈組合。

一如往年，從樂聖嶺通往天后宮途中，打造一座高達16尺，宏偉壯觀且富有中華建築特色的迎賓拱門，只要公眾到天后宮一遊，首先映入眼簾的是一座氣勢宏偉的彩燈拱門。
天后宮四周圍也懸掛總共4208粒紅燈籠，包括6根燈柱上方共所懸掛的408粒紅燈籠、天后宮屋簷上1360粒、從樂聖嶺通往天后宮沿路燈柱懸掛240粒紅燈籠及大殿（佛海）的2200粒。

打造成東方迪斯尼

“天后宮也想藉助‘老虎家族’，將天后宮打造成‘東方迪斯尼樂園’。”
他昨晚連同執行秘書康植評為5座彩燈組合主持亮燈儀式后，如是指出。
他說，天后宮也希望借助“老虎家族”營造春節氣氛之余，也寄望威虎能為帶來勃勃生機，以“虎虎生威”之勢為低迷市場注入好元素，引領國家發展。
他也指出，天后宮計劃將“吉祥巨龍”申請為大馬健力士紀錄大全，因為此燈座主要使用綢布制作，並使用了逾千粒燈泡“點燃”整只龍。|

PappaRich goes upmarket!Posted by szehoong in Untagged |

By Lee Wei LianKUALA LUMPUR, Jan 27 — PappaRich, the latest of the modern upmarket kopitiam chains that are popping up all over the country, is now setting its sights on Singapore after making waves in the Kuala Lumpur cafe scene.
The modern kopitiam is an updated version of the coffeeshops that were ubiquitous around Malaysia and known for strong locally roasted coffee, toast with kaya and butter as well as local fare such as koay teow soup.
The first modern kaya and toast outlets such as Uncle Lim’s and Kluang Station started years ago but newer chains such as OldTown White Coffee, Hailam Kopitiam and PappaRich have taken it to a higher level in terms of decor and range of offerings.
Now PappaRich even has premium outlets, the first of which featuring a “new design language” had its soft launch yesterday at the upscale Gardens Mall here. This is what the outlets in Singapore will probably be modelled after.
For this outlet, the interior design has been kicked up a notch in order to produce a classier ambience. Even the wispy steam from fresh bread that billows over the marble countertops was deliberately worked into the design of the store, evoking the nostalgia of old kopitiams.
Founder Rich Tan says that he intends to open the first PappaRich outlet in Singapore around March and is targeting to have 20 outlets eventually in the island republic. He also intends to list the company some time in the next two years.
He attributes PappaRich’s success to branding, good food and a classy ambience.
“Branding is very important,” he told The Malaysian Insider in a brief interview at the opening of the premium outlet. “We also try to keep the quality very consistent across all our outlets.”
He also noted the importance of cultivating the human side of the business.
“We depend on the franchise system and therefore appreciate our franchisees who helped build us up,” said Tan.
Zac Cheong, the owner of the Gardens franchise outlet, says that much effort went into working out the finer details of the store.
“The wooden folding doors must look good even when folded shut,” he said.
Even the kitchen uses more expensive fluorescent bulbs in order to have “better colour rendering” and be less stressful on the eyes of the staff.
When it expands into Singapore, PappaRich will be facing some stiff competition from Singapore’s own kopitiam-type chains such as Yakun and Toastbox.
But it has on its side relatively extensive overseas experience, for example in China and Korea, where it has interests in the PappaRoti chain of pastry shops.
