1 Utama Oktoberfest

I was walking around in 1 utama when i saw this:


exchange 2 50 cents for a bottle of german beer? i am all for it!!!

so, here we are. at the oktoberfest. a German beer festival, held in Malaysia, for the third year in a row @,@ (how come I only found out about it now?) for more oktoberfest, go to wikipedia ^^ read and nurture your mind ;p


bright day for queuing up for beer ;p

only 1 beer per person per queue. hence, the ticket :) the event starts at 5pm. but the queue? starts at 4.30 pm. my goodness. the event took place near the rainforest of 1 utama. so what happens here? first and foremost of all, the cheap german beer :) you have to wait in line for it. get your tix from the queue-guy and prepare your 1RM in 50 cents.


get your tix n dont lose it :)


look at that giant bucket to chill the beers @,@


cheap beer is a really good advert ;p


look at the crowd!!!


i queue 30 minutes for these baby :)

after a small task of queuing, we went to look for tables. sit and prepare for our meal. Supposedly some german style cooking. And what heaven it is!! There is no drink but beer here, and there is no meat but pork here. Double dosage of non-halalness @,@ i call this the double haram. pork and beer. this is truly 9th layer of heaven.


good food, good beer and... good music :p

we were entertained by these musicians. who in the spirit of keeping oktoberfest real, play some german folklore too ^^ and after a few songs, they have this drinking song that they will repeat. maybe to test, whether u r sober enough to continue drinking ^^ the song ask u to stand up and lift up your glass 3 times @,@ really, i'm sure the song acts like a sobriety test ^^


the long lines of tables

All the food sold here was provided by Dave's. you can find them near TGIF in 1U :)


the bacon


i cant remember the name


the sausage

all meat dishes come with a serving of mashed potato, 2 soft bread (some turns harder than they should) and a small box of butter (mine was melted butter) @,@

to me, the pinnacle of the event was when the musicians bring out the big gun ^^


they r lugging it around for people to try it

trust me, you dont wanna try to blow that thing. it takes a certain skill and a big lung too. btw, it's called..... i cant remember its name ;p


the only guy in the band with the leet skill to blow it, the bassist too ^^




this must be the dom-perignon of beer. its taste is close to wine, but with the amount of bubble of a beer. it smells nothing like beer. in fact, it smells wonderful. like flowers and fruits ^^ each bottle is sold for 15RM.


belle-vue, framboise

anutha entertainment for the night is, the drinking game ^^
