MyTV unveils enhanced Mana-Mana Premium subscriptions with new channels, pricing tiers
by SUFEA SALEHUDDIN MYTV Broadcasting Sdn Bhd has launched its enhanced Premium subscription offerings for the MyTV Mana-Mana streaming platform, reinforcing its presence in Malaysia's digital content market with a broader range of exclusive features and pricing tiers. Although the paid plans were first introduced in May with minimal publicity, the latest announcement marks a formal relaunch, now accompanied by exclusive content and structural upgrades for all user categories. Under the revised model, MyTV Mana-Mana now offers two ad-free subscription tiers — Basic and Premium. The Basic plan is priced at RM6.90 per month, RM19.90 quarterly, or RM74.90 annually. The Premium plan, which includes the full suite of features, is available at RM9.90 per month, RM28.90 quarterly, or RM106.90 annually. Basic subscribers will gain access to all content offered under the free plan, along with four additional channels — Rock Action, Rock Entertainment, KCM and Global Trekker. The number of devices allowed for simultaneous streaming has also increased from three to four. Premium subscribers will enjoy all Basic content, plus access to Premium video-on-demand (VOD) titles, five additional channels — SPOTV Now, Aniplus, One, ZooMoo and Drama Channel — and exclusive MyTV Original productions covering both films and TV series. The Euronews channel, previously part of the Premium offering, is no longer included. MyTV confirmed that the free plan will remain accessible to all users without a subscription. However, the number of live TV channels has been slightly reduced from 23 to 22. The VOD library has now expanded to over 2,000 titles, while access to 22 live radio stations remains unchanged. Free-tier users are limited to single-device access and will continue to encounter advertisements during content playback. The platform's refreshed offerings reflect MyTV's broader strategy to grow its user base through content diversification and improved value propositions, amid increasing competition in Malaysia's streaming landscape. At the launch ceremony on Wednesday, themed 'Unlocked: The Full MYTV Mana-Mana Experience,' MyTV Group CEO Mohamad Helmi Harith said the initiative reaffirmed the company's commitment to delivering high-quality content to all segments of society. 'Today marks a significant milestone for MYTV Mana-Mana. All of this success stems from strong cooperation and exceptional synergy with our industry partners,' he said. Acting COO Syaffandi Shahrom added that the new offering is not just about content, but also about embracing creativity and inclusivity. 'Premium entertainment doesn't have to come with a premium price. We developed MYTV Mana-Mana Premium for families, students, and individuals — whether watching on a phone, tablet, or big screen. Our hope is for people in both urban and rural areas to enjoy the content we deliver,' he said. Beyond live TV and on-demand access, Premium subscribers will also enjoy locally produced exclusives under the MYTV Originals label, featuring blockbuster films, local and international dramas, children's animation, Korean and Indonesian programmes, sports coverage and informative documentaries — all on a single platform. To date, the free version of MYTV Mana-Mana has recorded over 800,000 downloads, reflecting strong demand for accessible, mobile-friendly entertainment. In a move to further expand its digital ecosystem, MyTV also announced strategic partnerships with PRISM+, FoodPanda and MPH Bookstores. Helmi said the collaborations are designed to create a new digital lifestyle experience by integrating content, community and commerce. 'This fusion of cinema and lifestyle will expand our reach and create added value for users. We're excited to share more details about these partnerships soon,' he said.

Granny's Mansion serves bold bowls of spicy and sour pork noodles and comforting porridge with awesome deep-fried pork intestines in PJ SS2
PETALING JAYA, Apr 25 — Whether you believe it or think it's a cliché, the idea that 'grandma's cooking is best' is a widely held truth for many. It's a powerful notion, tied to strong sentimental attachments to certain scents, flavours, even entire meals. That emotional pull doesn't go unnoticed. It's often targeted by brands, and sometimes restaurants, usually to great effect. Or at least, that's what a cynic might think when walking into Granny's Mansion. Though the restaurant only opened in SS2 in mid-2022, it already has branches in Kuchai Lama and Kepong, and it gets so busy at lunchtime that they've had to impose a time limit on dining in. And sure, the fact that it's air-conditioned and features a gorgeous mural alluding to a heritage of making porridge and noodles since the 1960s doesn't hurt. Granny's Mansion's branding is meant to evoke the warmth of nostalgia and… grandparents. — Picture by Ethan Lau Neither does the cutesy logo of two old grandparents, so clearly, so deliberately designed to evoke a manufactured sense of nostalgia that it's almost transparent in its artificiality. But none of that really matters, because people keep coming back for the noodles and porridge. Forget the mural, the grandparent kitsch, the branded nostalgia trip. What actually keeps me coming back is the noodles, particularly in their signature spicy and sour soup. It's a tangy, spicy, bright orange broth that punches well above its weight, thanks to ham choy (pickled mustard greens), tomatoes, and a few sizable chillies. This is not soothing, calming stuff. It is sinus-clearing, eyebrow-raising, stern business. The soup gets its trademark tang from lots and lots of pickled mustard greens and tomatoes. — Picture by Ethan Lau A real kick up the behind, if you will. My only gripe is that it's served way too hot. Five minutes later, and it's still at face-melting level. Each spoonful threatens to scald the roof of my mouth, but satisfies my tongue. It's pain and pleasure that I enjoy more than I probably should. There's a choice of proteins: pork, chicken, or fish. While deep-fried grouper might seem the obvious choice, I prefer the signature mixed pork noodle (RM14.90). With razor-thin slices of heart, tongue, and crispy bits of deep-fried intestine, Granny's expertise with zhu zhap (pork offal) is on full display, and it translates surprisingly well to this medium. There are also sizable chillies thrown in for good measure (left). Crispy intestines and thin slices of heart and tongue in porridge (right). — Picture by Ethan Lau The intestines, in particular, deserve singled-out praise for being shatteringly crisp, well-salted, and without any hint of off odours. Add-ons like sliced pork belly (RM9.90) are available, but fair warning, what's in the bowl is already more than generous. Feeling like something mild and mellowed out? Granny's got you. After all, porridge is their calling card. Once again, there's a choice between the same three proteins, and once again, I can only recommend the signature mixed pork porridge (RM9.90). If hot and sour isn't your thing, the smooth, silky porridge will soothe you right down. — Picture by Ethan Lau When a place handles offal this well, why waste time with anything else? The firm, meaty slices of heart and tongue provide much-needed substance among the smooth and silky porridge. The other options include deep-fried pork meat paste, a patty, or both together, but I found their halfway springy, halfway rubbery texture rather unnerving. Granny's Mansion might lean hard on nostalgia, but it's hard to stay cynical when the food's this solid. The kickass broth, the homemade pickled mustard greens, the experienced handling of offal — these aren't things you can fake with branding. There's no granny in sight, but they've got this down to a science. Granny's Mansion @SS2 粥公面婆 88, Jalan SS2/60, SS 2, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Open daily, 10am-10pm.

Biang Biang Noodle Bar to shut down final outlet — owners reveal costly mistakes behind closure
After shutting down their first outlet in SS2, it seemed like Biang Biang Noodle Bar was already on shaky ground. Now, with their last remaining branch at REXKL set to close on 31 Mar 2025, it's officially the end of the road. If you've never heard of them, Biang Biang Noodle Bar is all about hand-pulled noodles, where you can build your own bowl — starting at just RM9.90 if you caught their Biang of the Day promo. One of their all-time favourites? The Cumin Lamb Noodles (RM19.90). On 12 Mar 2025, they took to Instagram to break the news, admitting that 'lack of experience' and 'choosing the wrong partner' led to their downfall. They also didn't shy away from listing other missteps — poor waste control, no proper SOPs, inconsistent taste, and, well… not-so-great customer service. Back in 2023, they were a rising star, thanks to some pretty clever marketing that got them trending. But things started going downhill after a management change, which is evident from their rebranding (pictured left is old logo, right is the new one). Some netizens speculated that their shift toward a Muslim-friendly concept — without lowering prices despite removing premium ingredients — might have cost them some fans. A user pointed out that quality took a hit after a 'soft renovation,' which might have lined up with the management switch. Another believed that opening a mee tarik spot in REXKL — a hub for trendy eats like pizza and burgers — might not have been the best move. At the end of the day, it was just an unlucky game of chess. As the owner put it, they were 'wild and free,' but maybe this time, they flew a little too close to the sun. That said, there's still time to grab one last bowl of pulled noodles at Biang Biang Noodle Bar before they close. And who knows? Maybe this isn't goodbye forever — just a break before a stronger comeback. Buffet or school canteen?
