[Review] Pelicana ; Korean's favourite gourmet chicken

The launch of a new flavour

So whats up? :D Today i'll be talking about Pelicana, the Korean's favourite gourmet chicken. I was pretty excited the minute i heard about it, cause really, who doesnt love juicy fried chicken? hehe. And i shall take this opportunity to thank Pelicana for having me at the review session together with a few other bloggers as well. Now lets see, where should i start?

The setting of the restaurant.

2000 outlets opened in total.

Well, im pretty sure you would want to know where its located right? So this particular one is at Atria  Mall located in Damansara Jaya. And basically the hype of the day was to introduce Pelicana Chickens new flavour Yangnyeom chicken, and from the first photo in this post, you guessed it, GARLIC! Hehe. But if you would be interested in looking at the other dishes that they have in store, i have the menu attached for your convenience below :

From Korean combo deals, delights, side dishes, drinks and more, i dont think one visit would be enough to indulge the taste of what Pelicana has to offer. But in this post, i'll be talking more about their infamous gourmet chicken. So if you are unaware, there are 5 flavours including the newest flavour addition. Giving you options to pick either Original, Charcoal BBQ, Hot Spice, Spring Onion and Garlic.

Fried chicken without sauce.

The garlic sauce spread.

An employee spreading sauce all over the chicken.

Their gourmet chickens are specially prepared, individually coating each fried chicken with the desired sauce that you pick. And just from looking at how its being prepared, it really got me drooling. Not to forget that the garlic smell was really strong, tempting everyone to look forward to their first bite.

Garlic.

Just look at the sauce covered all over the chicken, even this photo makes me want more of it. Hehe.
I love how this tasted pretty sweet with a tinge of garlic. And the sauce was definitely the highlight of it, as it doesnt give leave a dry texture to the chicken.

Spring Onion

 I was told that this would be the kids favourite as its not spicy, leaving it to be a kids favourite choice at Pelicana.

Charcoal BBQ

 This was rather unique as it did have a charcoal BBQ taste of sweet, bitter and slightly spicy. A great dish to those who are adventurous, but not fan of dishes that are 'too' spicy.

Original

 The original would be one of my personal preference as i enjoy the juicy taste of chicken without having the sauce overpowering the taste of fried chicken. Not sure if you get what im trying to say, but this goes to the food lovers who love the taste of originality.

Hot Spice

And this would be the ultimate that would burn your tongue. So to those who love it HOT, well, this would be the dish for you. On my first bite, it left me almost crying, but do note that im not a fan of RED HOT chilli. So my tolerance level is more to a medium level.

Forest Maracuja Mocktail

I decided to order their Forest Maracuja Mocktail, and to muslim friends out there, do not worry as they do not serve alcohol, so this drink is alcohol free. This has an interesting fusion as it had a berry taste with maybe the Koreans brown tea as the base flavour. Yums.

Korean Ramen.

Pure Chicken Breast Salad.

Here are some other dishes that we managed to try and it was pretty interesting too. The ramen is served with like a cheese based soup, and yes CHEESE. And on the other note, the salad had this famous dressing of yellow sauce from Korea. Not a fan of their salads, as i prefer my salad clean, but its worth the try :)

Student benefits.

Good news to student as they have additional discounts for you! Just show them your student ID and youre good to go with a rebate off your meal. Why not right?

Mandatory photo with food. :P

I had my fill for the day and i will definitely head back again, the prices are definitely affordable to me, serving nothing more than RM20 on individual meals. Such a steal! So what are you waiting for? Be sure to head to Pelicana when you get the chance to, cause their chicken is just mouthwatering.

For more information on Pelicana, do head over to https://www.facebook.com/pelicanamy. For now, they have 2 branches available which is at Atria Mall or e@thecurve. Do not hesitate to leave any comments below to let me know what you think about it :)

Electric Run Malaysia 2015 Presented by Shell FuelSave

Spotted blogger Elana Khong while i was there. hehe

If you missed out on the recent Electric Run which happened last weekend, well, better keep your heads up for the next one. This by far has been one of the most exciting marathons that i've been too, making 5km a breeze to finish. The Electric Run was held at the Selangor Turf Club with thumping music, colourful neon and bright lights everywhere! The run organized by the Livescape group is presented by leading fuel retailers, Shell Malaysia under the Shell Fuel Save brand.

Race Entrance.

Just look at the crowd, imagine 11,000 participants in 1 location.

Packed with first timers and casual runners, the run has over 11,000 participants who were strolling, running, walking, dancing across the electrifying 5km course. Since i was there early, i managed to see the colourful participants getting ready for the run to remember. With everyone looking forward for the stunning colourful lights dominated the electric wonderland, its no wonder that this event has been such a success.

Official Merchandise

And for those who came unprepared, they even had a concert store for them to purchase official merchandises to make the night an even more colourful night! I got myself a wristband, and a UV pen to brighten up the night ;)

Groups of people getting neon paint on.

All i had was a UV marker, works the same.

Thanks to my lovely assistant for getting some UV marks onto me, but i think my sweat wiped everything off during the run. So head up, be sure to get yourself some neon paint for the night if you want the colours to stay all over you throughout the run.

Did you know that the Electric Run Malaysia 2015 presented by Shell FuelSave also entered The Malaysia Book of Records for the title of 'Largest Participation in a Neon Run'? Iqbal Ameer, Group CEO of The Livescape Group and Tuan Haji Azman Ismail, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Snd Bhd and Shell Timur Snd Bhd accepted the certificate fo this record title from Tan Sri Datuk Danny Ooi, Founder and Managing Director  of The Malaysia Book of Records, before the run started. WOOHOO! Way to go to making an impact Livescape Group!

Gates were opened.

Welcome to our world!

When the sun sets, the party begins!

As the sun set that evening, the crowd was already building up. We had DJ's from Red Fm to entertain us while waiting for the 1st flag off of the night. As the night comes, the lights were turned on which painted a really pretty colourful picture to excite the participants of the day. We also had local DJ, Shaheed Naz of Dangerdisko entertaining us to keep our heart beats up just before the run. And the race started the minute a canonball of fireworks were exploding in the sky, which officially means that the run has started to complete the illuminating journey.

Light man to keep the pace of the runners up.

Electro Rainforest.

As the race started, upon reaching the 1st KM of the night, we passed by the electro rainforest where the tunes were really based on the rainy storm theme. From colourful lanterns hung up on the tree's, wee had glowing umbrella's hanging along the way, with DJ mixxed tunes from under Rihanna's umbrella.  AND i must say that the best was sick (in a good way) haha. This really kept the energy rising as most of us were already looking forward to our next checkpoint.

Rainbow road + Pillar party

Under The Sea

As we reached the 3KM, we were greeted by rainbow road with colourful glowing pillars which has really nice music to enjoy. I wasnt a fan of this checkpoint because the road was rather small, thus resulting everyone to walk because the road was a little on the tight side. But i managed to squeeze my way through to reach the next check point. Can you guess whats the next theme for the night? Yep, its the Under the Sea theme, where we could see UV Grafitti which were colouful even in the dark. We even had bubbles around the area to make it seem more marine-like. HEHE. Most prolly one of my favourite stops!

Drinking station - petrol station look-alike.

Participants getting insane ideas at the photobooth area.

And if you think the race is all about running, it isnt! With the run presented by Shell Fuel Save, every car needs to pump their petrol after a certain distance right? Just like your body. Hehe. i found it really cute that they had the shell station drinking station as we were finishing the race.

Candy Lane

The Power House

As we reached the last few stops, we had to pass through the candy lane just before reaching the power house which marks the end of the race. And if you think thats the end of the race, well think again! Thank god that it was just a 5km distance, because youre gonna need the rest of your energy to party the night.

The spectacular fireworks to end the night (Photo credits to Elana Khong)

So yes, the night ended with a party which includes some of the biggest names in Malaysian music, like Enterprise, Paperplane Pursuit, Kyoto Protocol, Jin Hackman and Dae Kim, and Nesh And TRuF! The Electric Run really knows how to plan a party, especially to end the night with fireworks. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Shell Malaysia for having me at the run :)

Superdry VIP Day!

Thanks SuperDry for the VIP membership!

If you havent heard of Superdry, well you might need to be up to date with this particular brand. Superdry has been seen Kylie Jenner, Zac Efron, Hillary Duff and more. Its hard not to realise that this brand has made it to the top! Superdry usually uses excerpts of Japanese text, as their trademark of the brand, and surprisingly, its not even from Japan. Superdry fashion is actually a UK based brand which has been loved worldwide! And guess what, i recently went to attend their VIPDay which happened here in Malaysia at Pavillion on the 15th of September 2015, thanks to the Butterfly Project and Superdry for having me.

The Superdry VIPDay.

VIP's lining up, looking forward for their goodie bag.

Closed to the public. How exclusive is that?

So, whats special about the Superdry VIP day is that they had special goodie bags given away to the first 100 in line! As the event starts at 7pm onwards, the store was closed specially for Superdry VIP members. Not only that, but for members, they even had 20% off in store for all full priced items. Sweet! And the fun doesnt even ends there, they also had an in store promotion of RM50 OFF for every RM250 spent and RM100 off for RM450 spent which sounded like more reasons to spend to attendee's. haha

Juanita from Red FM all styled up in Superdry.

She even shared her thoughts on her outfit. (LOOKING SMOKING HOT THERE)

Mandatory group photo. Smile for the camera guys!

To make the occasion even more meaningful, we even had the team from Red FM to enjoy our VIP day. We had a stylist from Superdry to style them up in their trendiest outfits, and everyone of the Red FM team had something good to say about how comfy wearing superdry can be. (With the price tag on, it better be comfy right?!) hehe

Leonard loving their bags. its HUGE! 

Those fine details in their designs.

Superdry' collection of watches.

The merchandises are pretty high end, but for a premium brand i think its meant to be within that price range. HAHA. But i have no doubt that the quality of their products are pretty good, i love the asian Japanese touch to it, even though it came all the way from UK. Its funny that when i travel to Japan, i tend to see english words instead on their T-shirts sold on the streets.

All things pretty.

Decided to give this a try, and dont i look 10 years younger? haha

I checked out their collection, and i never knew that they had too adorable dresses! AHHHH! How kawaii (cute) is this?! I was so tempted to get it, but the price was a little bit too high for me as it was around RM300++, and i already overspent this month. - confession of a shoppaholic. haha. So instead, i got myself their sports bra which i can use for my runs. YES! So, expect seeing me running in style yo.

Me and the gang managed to get something from Superdry and boy we were happy alright. Just look at our faces. Personally i think i spent the most time picking a sporty outfit from Superdry since it was actually my first time laying my eyes on their sports collection. Too bad they dont have it for mens yet though. Theyre are two Superdry outlets in KL, one located in Pavillion KL and the other at Mid Valley Mall.
