7 Things to do in the Klang Valley this weekend: 19 & 20 March 2022

1. Go on a bar hop for International Women’s Day Cocktail Week

When: 15 to 21 March 2022

Where: View all participating bars here

In conjunction with International Women’s Day, some of KL’s hottest bars have crafted a cocktail to celebrate women who have contributed to the development of Malaysia. A total of 18 outlets are participating in this week-long event, each presenting a special concoction in tribute to at least one female icon who they believe have contributed to the development of the nation, whether in the past or present. What better way to cheer on an inspiring woman than to say cheers than with a cocktail she inspired?

Among the partner outlets include Pahit, Three X Co, and Junglebird KL, just to name a few. At Pahit, guests can expect an exclusive menu consisting of one food item and four cocktails made with Von Hallers Gin—a German brand of gin inspired by the work of 18th century botanist and scientist Albrecht von Haller. (P.S: Out of the four, we’d recommend the Von Helsing for its refreshingly sweet, citrusy flavours and interesting strawberry leather garnish.)

2. Try the new food and drinks menu at Happy Stan

When: Bar – 12pm to 12am (closed at 10pm on Sundays & Mondays) | Bistro –

Where: Happy Stan, Lot M.01 & M.06, Republik Damansara Heights, No. 1, Jalan Medan Setia 1, Bukit Damansara, 50490 Kuala Lumpur

Local bar and bistro Happy Stan is happy to welcome loyal and new patrons alike for a taste of its new menu. For drinks, there’s a selection of aperitivo for day drinking; original craft cocktails under the Common & Nostalgia section for Happy Hour consumption; coffee creations for the best of both worlds (read: coffee and booze), and The Negroni Trilogy for those who prefer punchier libations. The Laksa Elderflower Fizz and Ada Curry are a few Malaysian-inspired concoctions to try, whereas the Mezcal Negroni serves strong, smoky flavours for bold palates.

On the other hand, the food menu sees a few classic additions including Hangover Fries, Double Cheese Smashed Burger, and Classic Fish and Chips. Think all-day comfort food (not just bar bites) that you can dig into on its own or with a cocktail or three.

Coffee lovers, let Nespresso take your palate to Miami with its new Nespresso World Explorations Miami Espresso, inspired by the local coffee culture in Miami.

It is a full-bodied, intensely roasted blend of Arabica and Robusta coffees using the split roast technique, resulting in a thick dark crema as well as cereal and peppery aromas.

The coffee is now available for purchase via Nespresso Boutiques, the Nespresso mobile app, and Nespresso official site.
