Starhill Gallery presents Midsummer Nights Feast 2010 (2 July – 9 July 2010)

Decadence.. Luxurious.. Opulence and Lavish.

I have always said to NOT expect anything less than the above from any projects from the YTL Group. And that’s exactly what one can anticipate from YTL Corporation’s annual Starhill Gallery’s Midsummer Nights Feast.

A week of fabulous food & wine, paired with music & entertainment to create a convivial, festive experience that CELEBRATES life (Ok, I’m not going to argue with that!) by engaging all the senses & the intellect.

    Just had a food crawl in Starhill. Includes Shook. Each dish albeit limited menu and shrunken in size at RM3.60++. Comparing with these prices…but then the menu looks excellent.

  9. Cool post! This seems to be a very informative blog. I will visit your site more often. This is really great! Well done. Thanks for sharing.,:)

  10. Ariel Vitera

    Hey….your site layout is very great…i just got started in blogging and am still learning the ropes…but when i see web sites like this…i know what to aim for….

  11. Allyn Crighton

    Thank you, very useful. I wasnt actually a big fan of Spinach for many years ( lie, I hated the stuff), but after shacking up with a vegetarian I kind of had to get used to it, and have slowly come to absolutely love the stuff. Spinach curry is now my absolute favouritest! I recently found adedicated spinach recipes website which is my new favourite site now, you should have a look!
