From 10 to 100 Sticks: Malaysians share their wildest satay sessions
It all started innocently enough.
A Reddit user asked: 'How many satay sticks can you eat on average?'
The original poster — clearly a seasoned satay warrior — casually mentioned they were on their 35th stick.
'It's almost that time of the month and my belly is basically nonexistent,' they wrote.
'I'm on my 35th cucuk and I'm kinda impressed with myself. Usually, 12 is my limit.'
And just like that, the comments section exploded into a glorious celebration of Malaysian makan pride.
@karlkry captured the national spirit perfectly: 'If I'm paying? 10 sticks at most. If someone else is footing the bill? A whole different story.'
@-ENIX chimed in with veteran stats — still good for 30 sticks now, but in their prime?
'A cool 50,' it said.
@iturtle8 shared a legendary throwback to a 100-stick challenge with friends.
'One of them vomited immediately after. Thank God there was a Petronas nearby.'
Then came a traumatic childhood memory from @Coca_Koala_6717, who once downed 60 to 70 sticks in Penang.
'I thought I had to finish everything on the table. Only at the end did my relatives casually say, 'You only pay for what you eat.''
Not everyone went full beast mode, though.
@ThinChildhood8807 kept it humble: 'Seven if I'm hungry, 10 max. I usually save the rest for breakfast.'
@Brynhild agreed: 'Ten is the sweet spot — anything more feels excessive.'
And @sirloindenial offered a beautifully unhinged Malaysian response: 'How many on the table? Yes.'
Finally, the most culturally accurate answer came from @Acceptable-Snow-5700: 'If someone belanja me, I'll eat 50. If not... I'll pretend to be modest.'

Connor's Just Threw The Wildest 13-Hour Rave In KL
Subscribe to our FREE Forget the typical product launches with boring speeches and ribbon-cutting ceremonies. Connor's Stout Porter just rewrote the rulebook by throwing a 13-hour non-stop techno rave that landed them straight into the Malaysia Book of Records for the Longest Non-Stop Techno Music Event. On Saturday (12 July), Connor's Collective 2025 at Heritage Valley KL wasn't just another corporate event – it was a full-blown musical endurance test. From 11 AM sharp until the stroke of midnight, DJs kept the beats pumping without a single break, officially claiming the title for Malaysia's longest non-stop techno music event. The lineup featured an impressive roster of local and international talent, including Curzon, Mr Yang, AnnTo, Sutty, Gasing, Bebehatesyou, Shelhiel, Smooth Brain Girly, Suhsi, Sherrine, Vanns Ngo, Crinkle Cut, Odelia Tirza, Resort, Arvind Raj, Exclusive Pete, Karo, Novern, DJ Reeve, and Clef. Why Go This Hard for a Beer Launch? The marathon rave wasn't just for show – it perfectly captured Connor's new rebellious 'Made to Be Different' brand identity. The beer company is ditching its old 'Taste the Good Times' messaging for something grittier, targeting young Malaysians who are tired of conforming to expectations. 'We believe every get-together, no matter how big or small, deserves to be memorable,' explained Carlsberg Malaysia's Marketing Director, Olga Pulyaeva. Connor's x YOU: Makers of Good Times is more than just a campaign; it is an invitation for stout lovers to embrace the moment and create unforgettable memories and experiences. And we loved seeing how Malaysian fans made their good times with Connor's. Record-Breaking Vibes The event showcased underground DJs, indie bands, and young entrepreneurs – precisely the kind of rule-breakers Connor's wants to celebrate. Guests didn't just witness history being made; they danced through every single hour of it. Halfway, people were either completely exhausted or completely energised – there was no in-between. But somehow, everyone stayed until midnight to see them officially break the record. Beyond the non-stop beats, attendees honed their mixology skills at an exclusive cocktail workshop led by mixologist Angel Ji, unleashed their creativity through spray can art and graffiti photography sessions led by local street artist Yang, and expressed their bold style with henna tattoos and upcycling stations that transformed old items into cool pieces. More Than Just a Stunt The record-breaking event marks the beginning of Connor's broader campaign to connect with young adults who feel pressured to follow conventional paths. The brand has partnered with streetwear label Doubleback to create limited-edition convertible backpacks, priced at RM900 each, with 1,500 units available nationwide – a total prize pool of RM1.3 million. Connor's isn't stopping at record-breaking raves. The brand is rolling out its signature Whether you're into techno or not, Connor's just proved they're serious about their 'Made to Be Different' promise. In a market full of safe, predictable beer campaigns, throwing a record-breaking rave is definitely one way to stand out. Connor's Stout is available at bars, restaurants, supermarkets, and online platforms. But after this stunt, something tells us their next marketing move won't be your typical TV commercial either. Still hearing those beats? That's just the sound of marketing history being made. *For 21+ non-Muslims only. If you drink, don't drive. #CelebrateResponsibly Share your thoughts with us via TRP's .

From Penrose KL To Reka:Bar: The 4 Malaysian Bars Listed In Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025!
Another year rolls around, and bars across Asia hold their breath as Asia's 50 Best Bars reveals its winners. This prestigious list doesn't just spotlight great drinks—it celebrates creativity, consistency, and the culture behind the bar. For bartenders and cocktail lovers alike, it's the region's ultimate benchmark of excellence and a moment of recognition that can transform a bar's future. This year, Malaysia proves once again that its cocktail scene is bold, ambitious, and world-class. From sleek hotel lounges to boundary-pushing speakeasies, these standout bars have earned their place among Asia's best. They don't just serve drinks—they tell stories, push techniques, and champion local flavours. Here are the 4 Malaysian bars that have earned their place on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 list: Penrose KL (No.10) Holding its title in the top ten, Penrose KL has quickly proven itself as a standout in the regional bar scene. Only two years since its debut, the bar has already become a serious competitor in the beverage industry. What was once a hidden gem on Jalan Petaling is now a bustling go-to for bar hoppers. Its bold, diverse menu and sharp attention to detail offer an experience unlike any other in Malaysia. Beyond the drinks, Penrose KL shines through with its atmosphere and hospitality. The space blends sleek, modern design with a warm, welcoming energy. Each visit feels intentional, whether you're seated at the bar or tucked into a booth. It's this thoughtful balance of craft and comfort that keeps guests coming back and industry eyes firmly on Penrose KL. THREE X CO (No.15) Making its way up the list every year is the famed THREE X CO. Rocketing up from its previous spot of No. 56, the bar has proven that it's more than just a one-time experience. Tailored to be a relaxing and intimate place for you to have a fun time and unwind after a long day, it maintains the traditions for cocktail making while not being afraid to push the boundaries and create completely new and playful ones. The bar emphasises using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and innovative techniques. This approach creates flavours that feel both familiar and surprising. The intimate setting encourages connection, making it a favourite for relaxed evenings and special occasions alike. As it rises through the ranks, THREE X CO continues to redefine what a modern Malaysian bar can be. Bar Trigona (No.39) It's no surprise that the first Malaysian bar to enter the World's 50 Best Bars keeps shining. Bar Trigona has held its place on Asia's 50 Best Bars for four years straight, thanks to its unique use of honey in both its cocktails and its ethos. With expertly crafted drinks and one of the most intricately designed interiors around, it's the perfect spot for anyone seeking a standout cocktail experience. More than just great drinks, Bar Trigona champions sustainability and local pride by partnering with native honey producers. This connection not only supports Malaysia's ecosystem but also turns each visit into a chance to appreciate the vital role bees play, making every sip both delicious and meaningful. Reka:Bar (No.47) The only bar in Malaysia that makes you feel like you've travelled to the future makes an appearance on this list once again. Reka:Bar is widely known for its 'Domino Effect' chain, where each cocktail in a series of 12 cleverly shares and reuses ingredients from the drink before it, creating a continuous, evolving tasting experience. This inventive approach not only showcases the bar's creativity, but also highlights a commitment to sustainability in every pour. The bar's cutting-edge design complements its innovative drinks, creating a space that feels more like an art exhibit than a traditional lounge. Whether you're exploring new flavours or soaking in the vibe, Reka:Bar delivers an unforgettable journey for those looking to push the boundaries of cocktail culture. Rounding out Malaysia's impressive presence on this year's list, Coley KL and Backdoor Bodega have earned spots on the extended list of Asia's 100 Best Bars 2025—bringing the national total to six. It's a clear sign of the country's rising influence in the region, driven by creativity, craftsmanship, and a strong sense of identity. As Asia's cocktail scene continues to evolve, Malaysia is no longer just part of the conversation—it's helping shape it. Zaima Humaria contributed to this article.

M'sian Comic Artist Akmal 'Kucha' Aziz Shares About The Time He Met MCR's Gerard Way
Not anyone can say that they met a global superstar by chance – but this Malaysian can! Local comic artist and animator Akmal 'Kucha' Aziz recently dropped a 'lore' about himself involving My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way! Earlier this week, Twitter users have been sharing interesting anecdotes about themselves as part of a Twitter trend. Akmal jumped on the bandwagon, sharing an interesting anecdote about himself from San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2012. According to the director of 'Didi And Friends The Movie', the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) has sponsored him and a few other Malaysian comic artists to attend the event. While at SDCC, the group set up a booth, sold comics, attended panels and networked. However, on one of the days they were there, the group saw a familiar face sitting alone in the lounge area. After Googling the individual on the search engine, the group confirmed that the familiar face was none other than My Chemical Romance co-founder and frontman Gerard Way. As the group greeted him, the singer invited them to sit and chat. Akmal also shared a photo he took with Gerard at the event. Responding to comments, the Malaysian revealed what the group chatted about with the singer. The comic artist explained that Gerard was at SDCC to promote his two comic book series, 'The Umbrella Academy' and 'The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys'. During the same event, the musician also held a signing for 'Killjoys', which he recently released. Gerard also had an excited response when the group revealed that they were from Malaysia, saying that MCR once performed in Kuala Lumpur. Many local netizens have since reacted to Akmal's anecdote, mostly expressing shock at the casual meeting. Some also expressed envy towards Akmal and the group of Malaysians, noting that the moment was a rare chance. Others also took the opportunity to share some MCR-themed puns. We also agree with the rest that Akmal's meeting with Gerard Way was enviable, to say the least. Perhaps the group of local comic artists can have a reunion with the star when he returns to Malaysia next April for MCR's concert in KL. Source: Twitter
