W opening

Attended the opening of a new pub last night called, W cafe & bistro at The Strand, Kota Damansara. It's located directly opposite the Parking, one of the other pubs around that area. In conjunction with the official opening, finger foods and free flow of Carlsberg were served from 6-8pm. Basically, i would say this area (The Strand) is still very new..unlike Sunway Damansara shops, area where my bro's pub (*wink*), Just Divine is located. However, i foresee this area would turn out to be something like Bangsar at the rate those restaurants, cafes & boutiques are mushrooming. Traffic - massive jam in the area alone.Range of drinks served at W :- liquors (Chivas, Remy Martin, Martell, Glenfiddich etc..), local beer (Carlsberg - draft), Hoegarden - draft & O' Connors - draft..

My personal opinion of W:-

1) Place too small.

2) Crowd - Elderly (particularly males ard 30 & above)

3) To reach the place, you would have to brave through a massive jam towards kota damansara.

Anyways, here are some pictures for your pleasant viewing.

* the bar

* DJ area

* the Band - consisting of a keyboard player, guitarist & as you can see here the lead singer. Michael Buble's songs were sung throughout the night (*yawns*).

* In the goodie bag - Faces mag (July issue), keychain & DJ Marco promo cd (surprisingly good mix of tunes *thumbs up*)

Next, we proceeded to Purple Mango, located among the shops in Sunway Damansara, just minutes away from W. Previously, i was criticizing W for being too small, Purple Mango to my utter most disappointment turned out to be so much smaller compared to W. Btw, to the guys out there who seeks companionship while drinking, Filipino chicos are available here. Crowd range - 30's & above males. Check out the pics of the place :-

* Located at 1st floor - the almighty, dainty Purple Mango.

* Purple Mango's Logo (what's with the name? *hmmmm..*)

* crowd - not very young (*aiks*)

* Vip area (small, rite?)

* The Bar

* One of the few available booths ..not that comfy for my taste.

Personal opinion, more for guys (older ones, who seek companionship while drinking) and certainly not worth braving through the massive jam from the Curve all the way to Kota Damansara, unless you are staying nearby. ANDDDD to all the pretty ladies, do not ever endanger yourself by going there without any male companions. You would be eaten alive (serious!!).
