Fans can step foot into the world of Guinness right in the heart of KL with a curated drinking and dining experience. Alongside exclusive merchandise and music, fans can even learn how to pour the perfect Guinness at Arthur’s Storehouse.

Guinness Malaysia has officially launched its first-ever flagship outlet, Arthur’s Storehouse, in Malaysia at Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur. Arthur’s Storehouse is not just any bar - fans can enjoy the true Guinness experience alongside an impressive Guinness-infused food and cocktail menu, as well as exclusive merchandise imported from the Dublin Storehouse.

At the launch, members of the media were treated to an array of curated experiences by the world’s no. 1 stout to tantalise the senses and were some of the firsts to experience the magic of the flagship outlet. They sampled a unique menu curated and enjoyed live performances by local bands. The flagship outlet with its elevated decor is decked out to give lovers of the brand the experience of the Dublin Storehouse with a history wall, photography corner, a Guinness bar and dining area, as well as a lounge all designed in the distinct colours and feel of the brand.

There, fans can check out the Guinness history wall and learn about the precision of the roasting process that gives Guinness its distinctive taste and ruby-red hue at 232 degrees Celsius. As true Guinness lovers know, perfectly pouring Guinness is important to enjoy its smooth and creamy taste.

Special rates are available for fans who want to learn pouring the perfect glass themselves with the guidance of the Guinness Academy, and take home a customized Guinness glass with their name engraved on it. But that’s not all, what makes the flagship outlet so singular is its menu being the first in Malaysia to showcase a variety of exclusive Guinness-infused dishes as the showrunner.

Starters include BBQ Hot Wings Glazed with Homemade Guinness Sauce, Guinness Battered Onion Ring and Guinness Braised Oxtail Pork Crackling. For the main dishes, Arthur’s Storehouse serves familiar favourites as well as BBQ Guinness Pork Ribs and Braised Lamb Shank, which pair best with Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. Whereas the Guinness Aged Ribeye Steak and Guinness Shepherd’s Pie pair best with Guinness Draught. The menu also features Asian classics like Guinness Bak Kut Teh and Bulldog Hokkien Mee. Sweet tooths can also sample the unique Guinness-infused dessert menu.

Stout lovers are also in for a treat with the Guinness-infused cocktail menu. Offering classics like ‘Black Velvet’ which is a mixture of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout and Prosecco, as well as something to provide a different cocktail experience with the ‘St James Gate’ which is a mixture of Guinness Draught, Irish Whiskey and coconut milk with cinnamon, and the ‘Guinnesstini’ made with Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur and ice cream.

“This year has been remarkable for Guinness as we’ve been able to bring numerous sensorial experiences for the lovers of our brews, all while they learn more about the rich history and the magic behind them.

The very first Guinness flagship outlet is designed to give Malaysian fans the Dublin Storehouse experience right in the heart of KL. For that, we are thrilled about this exclusive partnership created between Guinness Malaysia and Storehouse Project,” said Shaun Lim, Marketing Manager of Guinness Malaysia.

“At Arthur’s Storehouse, patrons will be able to indulge in our carefully selected menu of food and cocktails infused with Guinness, all while basking in the atmosphere of Arthur’s Storehouse. A unique experience awaits our patrons when they visit this first-ever Guinness flagship outlet,” said George Ang, Director of Storehouse Project Sdn Bhd.

The sensorial zones – roasted barley, hops, nitrogen, and widget zones - are equipped with various Instagram-worthy experiences highlighting the essence of Guinness in style. Upon finding the QR codes hidden in these zones, fans will get to redeem exclusive Guinness merchandise.

As their journey continues, festival-goers will get to discover the different Guinness products that are available in the Malaysian market – Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, Guinness Draught and the latest entrant, Guinness Draught in a Can. Activities at each station will entitle fans to receive tokens, and all they have to do is complete the experience and collect four tokens to redeem two cans or two glasses of complimentary Guinness at the bar.

Now, what is a festival without some entertainment and food? The atmosphere at Piazza, Pavilion Bukit Jalil will be abuzz throughout the festival period with live band performances and local DJs spinning some electrifying tunes. There will also be a variety of Guinness-infused delicacies for fans to sample at the festival too, featuring iconic dishes by Arthur Storehouse, the Guinness flagship outlet set to officially launch next week at Pavillion, KL.

“This year has been a remarkably special one for Guinness as we introduced Guinness Draught in a Can for Malaysian fans to enjoy a different drinking experience. Following the tremendous support the brand received from the launch of House of Guinness, we wanted to celebrate the world of Guinness in a fun and fresh way with another immersive experience, while still being true to the brand DNA of power, communion, and goodness.

In conjunction with International Stout Day, fans will get to know our products better through this #ItsAMatterOfTaste campaign, all while bringing the celebration of their favourite stout to the next level,” said Shaun Lim, Marketing Manager of Guinness Malaysia.

Earlier this year, the Galaxy S22 series introduced the pro-grade smartphone camera with advanced Nightography features. Now, that camera just got even better. With an updated version of the Expert RAW app and a brand new app called Camera Assistant , you’ll be able to capture professional-looking shots.

Capture the Galaxy With Astrophoto in Expert RAW

The Expert RAW elevates the S22's already robust night photography capabilities with a powerful Astrophoto feature. This brand-new feature lets star gazers and outdoor enthusiasts take clear and beautiful photos of constellations and dark sky activity.

Simply turn on the Sky guide to pinpoint the location of constellations, solar systems, groups of stars and nebula. Your camera will use advanced AI segmentation technology and multi-frame processing based on the movements of a celestial body to snap photos over a set time period. As a result, you’ll capture stunning shots of stars that look like they were taken with top-grade professional equipment.

If you love to explore your artistic side, you can take advantage of the Multiple exposures feature to shoot several images at once and then use Overlay modes to combine them into one standout shot. You can also unleash your creativity and experiment with superimposing several images on top of each other to create incredible abstract shots.

To access the beta version of Astrophoto and Multiple exposures, go to the Special Photo options in the Settings menu of Expert RAW.

Camera Assistant App Lets You Take Photos on Your Own Terms

Every avid photographer has their own shooting style, so it’s vital to have a camera that gives you the creative reins. With the new Camera Assistant app, you can pick and choose which automated features you want to use for a fully customized shooting experience. You can download the app from either Galaxy Store or the Good Lock app.

Once the app is installed, you can launch the feature by clicking the app icon, navigating to the Good Lock app or accessing the Camera Assistant menu under Camera Settings in your native camera app. The Camera Assistant app gives you the option to turn certain features on or off, including Auto lens switching, Auto HDR and Faster shutter.

You also have more options when, for example, selecting the number of pictures you want to take after the timer goes off. The Camera Assistant app allows you to enjoy the following key features:

Auto HDR: If you want to get atmospheric pictures without HDR effect, you can now simply turn it off.

Soften pictures: You can turn on this feature to smooth out the sharp edges and textures of your photos.
Auto lens switching: Now you can turn off the Auto lens switching feature, which automatically switches camera lenses in dark environments or as you move closer to the object you are shooting. For instance, if you want to keep using the telephoto lens instead of the wide lens to take a picture of the object closer to you, you can simply turn it off in the menu.
Video recording in Photo mode: You can now turn off this feature, which allows you to take a video clip by long-pressing the button in Photo mode, preventing you from accidentally recording a video.
Number of pictures after timer: You could already automatically snap several photos in quick succession after the timer count. Now, you can also choose how many photos are taken (1, 3, 5 or 7 photos).

Faster shutter: This mode allows you to take up to seven pictures in a second. This is very useful when taking pictures of moving objects.
Camera Timeout: You can select how long the Camera app (preview screen) is turned on continuously for 1, 2, 5 or 10 minutes.
Clean preview on HDMI displays: Show the camera preview without any menus and buttons on HDMI-connected displays.

Celebration of bold street food flavours is happening at the two-weekend-long festival with all things street food, hidden rooms, entertainment, and ice-cold Tiger Crystal.

After two years, the Tiger Street Food Festival is back on-ground and this time with maze-like alleyways and curated experiences for fans to enjoy an elevated street food experience. Tiger has gone all out to provide an authentic but innovative experience leading up to the festival beginning with the launch of the Hottest Hunt microsite in September. Fans came together to recommend the hottest street food spots and contributed to creating a directory of bold street food dishes to try with approximately 1,000 pins dropped to date.

Some of the local favourites from the directory will be featured at this year’s Tiger Street Food Festival kicking off today for two weekends – 28th to 30th October and 4th to 6th November, from 4pm to 12am at Factory 19, Seksyen 19 in Petaling Jaya. Guests will be able to check out four different areas - Wai Sek Kai, Lucky Lok Lane, Spicy Alley, and The Basement - each with its own set of unique street food vibe personalities and activities.

Wai Sek Kai will have a variety of classic street food dishes with an innovative twist. Fans hanging out at the Wai Sek Kai area can also take up dance challenges and stand to win ice-cold Tiger Crystal. The Lucky Lok Lane is where the iconic Tiger Crystal Fire Truck will be parked alongside various other vendors. Fans will not only get to enjoy lok lok, but also redeem vouchers to sing their hearts out in a private karaoke room.

The Spicy Alley within the venue will feature the hottest street food for fans to sample, and even set their tastebuds on fire by taking up the Spicy Wheel Challenge. Fans will also get to enjoy Tiger with a vintage pouring ritual, served in bowls at the Spicy Alley. Finally, the Basement will feature a unique vibe with open mic karaoke as well as stand-up comedy, all while fans enjoy Tiger Crystal Somaek.

To commemorate their street food experience in style, fans can also elevate their social media game with the various Instaworthy spots at the festival. They will also be able to purchase exclusive street food-inspired merchandise from local designers, available at the Tiger Merchandise Store located at Wai Sek Kai.

“After all our fans’ hard work of dropping pins to the hottest street food spots, we are excited to kickstart the long-awaited Street Food Festival with even more culinary adventures and curated experiences. Tiger has continually elevated the street food experience, and this year is particularly special because fans had a big role to play in recommending and trying dishes suggested by fellow foodies,” said Joyce Lim, Marketing Manager of Tiger Beer Malaysia.

At the launch of the festival, the brand unveiled Tiger Stripes, a long-term project to award deserving street food vendors for their bold street food flavours. The brand is encouraging fans to continue to drop pins on the microsite throughout the Tiger Stripes project. Then, a judging panel of restaurateurs, chefs and food personalities will sample and evaluate the top 100 pins that fans have recommended from the Hottest Hunt directory.

“We are excited to take the local street food scene to the next level with the launch of Tiger Stripes. This platform aims to be the hallmark of street food excellence by recognising the best local street food. This could not have been done without the help of our fans and the directory created by them. This process and the judges' announcement will begin in January 2023, so fans can stay tuned for more exciting updates,” Lim said.

Fans can continue to drop pins to recommend their favourite street food spots and bring their favourite street food vendor a step closer to being awarded with Tiger Stripes. Fans who want to be part of the festival can register at hottesthunt.tigerstreetfood.my to join in on the fun. The full list of vendors participating at the festival can be found on the website too. Tiger Beer, Tiger Crystal, the Tiger Street Food Festival, and all of the brand’s activities and promotions are open to non-Muslims aged 21 and above only.
