THE SCENE<br />
A Tea-riffic Time<br />
Whittard of Chelsea Malaysia launched its very<br />
first Malaysian outlet recently. Located in 1Utama<br />
Shopping Centre, the event was officiated by His<br />
Excellency Charles Hay MVO, the British High<br />
Commissioner to Malaysia. <strong>The</strong> opening ceremony<br />
started off with speeches by both His Excellency<br />
and Antoine Bakhache, Managing Director of<br />
Bakhache Foods and was immediately followed<br />
by the ‘Pouring of Tea’ ceremony carried out by<br />
the British High Commissioner together with<br />
the International Sales Manager of Whittard of<br />
Chelsea, Katherine Onn and Antoine. <strong>The</strong> launch<br />
also included a lucky draw and a ‘Guess the Tea!<br />
Quiz’ where guests and members of the media were<br />
invited to taste the tea and guess its flavour. <strong>The</strong><br />
new store offers over 60 loose leaf teas, creative<br />
hot chocolates and gift sets, as well as unique<br />
tasting experiences, with the opportunity to try<br />
classics such as English Breakfast tea and cuttingedge<br />
innovations like seasonal limited-edition hot<br />
chocolates.<br />
A New Icon<br />
ConceptD, a new brand of high-end desktops,<br />
laptops, and monitors that are designed with graphic<br />
designers, filmmakers, animators, illustrators,<br />
architects, developers and other creatives in mind<br />
was launched by Acer. According to Chan Weng<br />
Hong, General Manager of Products, Sales and<br />
Marketing at Acer Sales & Services Sdn Bhd,<br />
ConceptD devices are designed for creative needs<br />
as the high-performance processors and graphics<br />
cards can handle extreme workloads yet stay quiet.<br />
<strong>The</strong> power-packed performance is presented in<br />
a minimalist design to inspire creators to let their<br />
creative juices flow freely.<br />
