2. Catch the latest in entertainment on Disney+ Hotstar

There’s plenty of new films and even cinematic concert experiences to keep you entertained this weekend on Disney+ Hotstar, including the premiere of the highly-anticipated Cruella movie (read BURO’s interview with actress Emma Stone here) and Billie Eilish’s debut with “Happier than Ever: A Love Letter to Los Angeles”.

The latter features seven time Grammy award-winning artist Billie Eilish’s brand-new album “Happier Than Ever”, which was written by her and her brother Finneas, who also produced the album. Directed by Robert Rodriguez and Oscar-winner Patrick Osborne, the special concert film will also include animated elements, taking viewers on a dreamlike journey through Billie’s hometown of Los Angeles and its most iconic backdrops.

We know your old suitcase has been gathering dust at a forsaken corner of your home, but with news of Langkawi opening up for the ‘travel bubble’ pilot project, it’s a good time to invest in a new suitcase. Even if you prefer to stay home for the time being, the latest additions to the Rimowa Essentials collection are too cute to resist.

Inspired by Thailand’s famed floating markets, the new suitcases arrive in two fresh seasonal shades, Mango and Bamboo. The Mango Orange version pays homage to the country’s ubiquitous fruit that’s a staple in many Thai dishes, while the Bamboo Green suitcase is a pastel-hued take on the locally grown tree that’s used in everything from construction to cuisine.

Both colourways come in three sizes, Cabin, Check-In L and Trunk Plus, and are available in RImowa stores worldwide from September 2, 2021.

4. Indulge in Nobu Kuala Lumpur’s Signature Creations for Two

When: 1 to 30 September

Where: Nobu Kuala Lumpur

Price: RM428++ for two / RM798++ with sake and wine pairing

Nobu Kuala Lumpur has reopened for dine-ins and to celebrate, the restaurant is reintroducing its Signature Creations for Two menu in conjunction with Malaysia Day. The menu features six courses, including signature dishes like the Black Cod Miso and Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno. There’s also optional drinks pairing menu from a specially curated Sake and Wine selection.

Diners can rest assured that the Nobu team is fully compliant with the Malaysian Ministry of Health’s (MOH) guidelines in relation to the vaccination status of all its staff.
