LOL...You didn't know meh? I used to operate a bar called Radio City in the then newly opened and happening place called 1Utama. Had it for a couple of years before the highway construction and police and religious department raids with TV 3 cameras in tow finally dealt the death knell to the entire area which those days used to have bars, discos, KOK's. Before that I used to own a place in the Central Market Annexe called Alibi. And before that I operated a bar/disco in Kota Kinabalu called The Bistro, the first disco in KK. 3 bars. Never made any money. But had lots of fun. Wrong formula I guess. One of the deejays during The Music Machine/Tin Mine/Federal Club days is Ronnie Choong who is now the multi-millionaire tycoon of nightlife in KL. He and his partners own all the coolest hottest places in town - Beach Club, Nuovo, Rum Jungle etc. He got the formula right. Reinforces my belief that we are put here for different reasons.

Can't remember it though. I personally do not like the sweeter stuff. And the only time I will drink Jameson is when it is made into Irish coffee. And that is something I rarely order. Like you I have been bombarded with single malts and all the other malts. Most of the time by people who have more money than taste for whiskey really. Not that I mind of course:-) But when it comes down to serious drinking I just like to stick with the basic stuff. Dewar's White Label is fine with me. Recently, I've been told about how good Famous Grouse is. Today somebody said that there's nothing better than Old Parr. So where will this end anyway.<BR/><BR/>Do the bars really water down their drinks? I don't really know. But when I was running bars I never thought that the effort was worth whatever ill-gotten profits that it could have brought. I guess what some bars do is give you less than a shot every time you order a drink. Then when water, soda, coke or whatever else is added all you're tasting is the mix.<BR/><BR/>I have not had a drink in Bangsar for a long time. Just cost too much to drink there or anywhere else these days. Better to get some friends together, sit by the pool, fire up the grill.........and drink.patrickteohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590595033242017959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690506.post-1127797719077926002005-09-27T13:08:00.000+08:002005-09-27T13:08:00.000+08:00I don't claim to know much about whiskey, but I do...I don't claim to know much about whiskey, but I do love my whiskey. :) Thought I might just mention one of favorites..<BR/><BR/>Jameson Gold Irish Whiskey is suprisingly smooth and sweet. "Tripple Distilled" is what it says on the label. It's affordable and I personally love it even though I've been bombarded by all kinds of fine single malt and double malt by my extravagent uncles during family gatherings.<BR/><BR/>If you like sweet flavours in whiskey, give this a try, it's got a honey taste in it. Oh, and don't bother getting this in bars, bistro's, or clubs. For some strange reason they either water the stuff down or serve the regular Jameson stuff (which ain't too bad... mixes better with coke compared to that JD or BL crap).<BR/><BR/>BTW, is it just my imagination (or plain drunkard ass) but do most bars in places in Bangsar serve watered down alchohol??<BR/><BR/>-WongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690506.post-1126723144691731992005-09-15T02:39:00.000+08:002005-09-15T02:39:00.000+08:00The evenings are cooling fast here so it's time to...The evenings are cooling fast here so it's time to swap the "vodka collins" for the wisky ais. <BR/><BR/>I've tasted a few in my time. Do like the amber roast of a single malt... though a good belt of White Label will do in a pinch. <BR/><BR/>There are of course the econo brands that come in gallon plastic bottles are ok but better with soda.<BR/><BR/>BTW my uncles use to drink wisky tanni and I use to get a kick watching the mosquitos land and oof them on those balmy Malaysian nights.lecram sinunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660546282834465597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690506.post-1126679325015535692005-09-14T14:28:00.000+08:002005-09-14T14:28:00.000+08:00Aiyaya, Patrick.Donch know whish is the besh, lah ...Aiyaya, Patrick.<BR/><BR/>Donch know whish is the besh, lah but you can find Mahaguru at Alexis ....

Sentul sure ada one but I donch know where in Ampang.<BR/><BR/>I think maybe cheaper to get mabok with tequila shots than wisky but maybe cheapest to buy your own vat in Scotland. Kongsi lah.<BR/><BR/>I remember many years ago, you told me about the "power of alcohol" to explain unusual character modification.
