1 Utama ; Brown Bag Series


The Brown Series featuring Chef Federico and Amber Chia
1 Utama has stepped it up and has decided to provide more activities for shoppers to enjoy! Presenting the inaugural Brown Bag Series which will be happening every month starting from November 2015. Managed to get a seat myself to be a part of this exciting event featuring Gastronomical Italian Kitchen Workshop as the highlight of the day.

You might wonder, what is this "Brown Bag Series" ? Well thats why im writing all about it! You're welcome *wink* haha. So here's the thing, the "Brown Bag Series" is a workshop which focuses on energising, feel-good health & wellness, organized by 1 Utama with their event partner Cold Storage. To attend this workshop is absolutely free for shoppers, providing the objective to encourage shoppers to walk away with healthy tips. YAY to spreading the awareness of being healthy!

Whats inside my brown bag
Whats inside? Well, its filled with healthy food, fruits and other healthy products which are sponsored by Cold Storage. But this time around, i got myself organic juices, fruits, and organic snacks. YUM! Im loving this healthy nutritious campaign already!

How to participate?


You will need to be a ONECARD member, but if you pre-register yourself to attend, they will be giving out free membership on the spot. How cool is that?! So basically to participate, you can either sign up at the customer service centres in 1 Utama, or you can register yourself online via 1 Utama's Official Facebook page or through email.

At the very first Inaugural workshop which was held on the 3rd of November, 1 Utama has invited the award wining Chef Federico Michieletto who is the Head of Culinary for Marini's on 57. He is also recognized as Best Italian Chef of the Year 2012, Winner of the Gourmand award for Best Italian Book 2008 and is also the ex-president of the Chef Association of Malaysia.

Amber Chia and Chef Federico
We even had Amber Chia as their celebrity guest of the day to spice things up a little. She was ever so cheerful and ready to start to cook better than the dishes from Marini's on 57. hehe. Shoppers at the event managed to learn how to cook healthy dishes freshly prepared live by Chef Federico at the event.

A great way to spend your day if you have nothing to do at home. hehe. Be sure to lookout for their next Brown Bag Series Workshop coming soon in December! I heard that its going to be on the 18th of December, so be sure to clear out your schedule.
