Travellers to Malaysia can experience the excitement of the Monsoon Cup sailing event in Terengganu next month.
The prestigious international regatta will take place in Pulau Duyong between November 22nd and 27th 2011 and will see top sailors from around the world competing for titles.
Since its introduction in 2005, the cup has had a transformative effect on the local area, turning the previously quiet Pulau Duyong into a thriving hub for water sports, dining, tourism and souvenirs.
As the second-biggest sporting event in the country, it regularly attracts celebrity and VIP guests, with the likes of Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh and George Benson attending in previous years.
Accompanying the racing itself is Karnival Monsoon, a programme of activities for all the family that commenced on September 30th and will run all the way through to the end of the tournament.
Events include sailing and kayaking activities, beach football and netball tournaments, quizzes, colouring contests for kids and karaoke competitions.
Sailing enthusiasts can choose from a generous selection of Malaysia hotels at AsiaRooms.com, such as the Ri-Yaz Heritage Marina Resort & Spa, the venue for the Monsoon Cup.
Full details about the competition and its history can be located at monsooncup.com.my.
Originally i started to review the hotels in Penang. But finally it ended as my personal travel blog of places, event, food review blog. Enjoy reading and come back. This is for my family, friends and my daughter, may Allah bless you with good life in this world and hereafter.

The Raja Muda Selangor International Regatta (19 - 27 November 2010)
Established in 1990, it is Malaysia’s oldest keelboat sailing regatta and one of the region’s premier sailing events, ranking alongside Thailand’s Phuket King’s Cup and Hong Kong’s China Coast Regatta and China Sea Race.
The only other sailing event in Malaysia of any stature is the 5 year old Royal Langkawi International Regatta. The "Raja Muda" is also one of the very few true offshore passage racing regattas in the region, the others being Australia’s Sydney to Hobart and various coastal races, and Hong Kong’s China Sea/San Fernando and Vietnam/ Hainan races.
The Regatta takes place each November over the course of 9 days, and is timed to finish a week prior to the Phuket King’s Cup, as many yachts compete in both events. The RMSIR opens in Port Klang on Friday with a welcome party where the Regatta Patron, HRH Sultan of Selangor and/or another VIP such as the Minister of Tourism presents plaques and welcomes the participants. On Saturday morning the yachts, watched by the media, race 80+ miles overnight to Pangkor to arrive by Sunday morning. That evening there is a beachside prizegiving party attended by local Perak officials.
On Monday at midday the yachts race overnight to Penang to arrive there on the Tuesday morning. In the afternoon there is a friendly Trishaw race followed by a hawker foods street party at the Tanjong City Marina in George Town. All day Wednesday there are races in the waters north of Tanjong Bungah, followed by a prizegiving party at Khoo Kongsi, graced by a Penang VIP.
Thursday sees the yachts race overnight to Langkawi to arrive early the next morning. Friday is a spare day for some yachtsmen to relax, shop, play golf, etc., while others head for the harbour for extra races for their classes, or catch up on any postponed races from previous days. On Saturday there are more races within Bass Harbour, with local TV and other media in attendance, followed by the final gala prize giving dinner, customarily graced by HRH Sultan of Selangor and other notables, at the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club.

MALAYSIA INTERNATIONAL GOURMET FESTIVAL 2010 (MIGF2010)
Kuala Lumpur, Tuesday 21 September :-- More than two thousand of the country’s ‘who’s who’ gathered in the Grand Ballroom, Pyramid One, of the Sunway Convention Centre last night for one of Malaysia’s most spectacular, world class events – the Gala Launch of the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival 2010 (MIGF2010).
An annual event, now into its 10th year, the Gala Launch showcases the fabulous food that will be served up by the 30 top fine dining restaurants taking part in the month long MIGF2010 that runs from 1st to 30th October 2010.
For this glittering Gala Launch occasion, each of the Festival Restaurants created beautifully designed stations to present samples from their Festival Menus for the two thousand VIP guests to savour. The stellar guest list included royalty, over fifty foreign ambassadors, captains of industry, leading corporate personalities and a host of local and international food and tourism writers. Add to the mix showbiz entities, social movers and shakers, fashion and lifestyle pace setters, top hoteliers and restaurant owners – and it is no wonder that the Gala Launch is considered by many to be the main event of the year!
Among the VIPs, celebrity guests and food journalists gathered in their finest was the guest of honour, Deputy Minister for Tourism YB Datuk Dr James Dawos Mamit, who took his place by the launching stage in anticipation of the grand opening. As the emcee called the gathered throng to the stage, a hush fell and all eyes were on the stage where a solitary sentry box stood. This year the theme is “Magical Chefs” and as if on cue a ‘magical chef’ appeared. Opening the door of the sentry box, he showed the empty interior. In a display of wizardry, he rotated the box a few times before reopening the door to reveal Festival Organising Chairman YBhg Dato’ Steve Day!
After a short speech, Dato’ Steve accompanied Datuk Dr James to cut through a giant Chef’s Hat which marked the main entrance to the ballroom. With the crowd following and flashlights going off, the pair were greeted by a wall of sound as a Latin band exploded into life, the drum beats resounding around the ballroom as dancers swayed to the infectious rhythms. On the stage, the Festival Chefs joined in the rhythm ‘playing’ pots and pans in unison with the samba beat. Thousands of candles lit up the ballroom which was filled from wall to wall with colourful restaurant stations offering exotic Festival fare – all succulent items from the special Festival Menus that will be served at special Festival Prices by Festival Restaurants throughout the month of October. What a way to start MIGF 2010!
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Now an integral part of Tourism Malaysia’s “Fabulous Food 1 Malaysia” strategy, the Malaysia International Gourmet Festival will be held from 1st – 31st October with 30 of the country’s very best restaurants taking part.
Each Festival restaurant will be serving up special Festival menus at extra special Festival prices throughout the month of October. Foodies everywhere can make a date with Festival restaurants to enjoy these once-in-a-year signature menus at competitive prices and at the same time enjoy bulk booking discounts and room night offers amongst other exciting promotions and offers.
The main sponsor for MIGF2010 is Tourism Malaysia supported by Maxis, Canon and Naza Italia. Media Partners are Astro, Lite FM, Asian Food Channel, Vision Four, Vision KL and Seni Jaya. The venue sponsor for the Gala Kaunch is Banjaran HotSprings retreat and for the Garand Finale, Sunway Lagoon.
All details can be found on the Festival website, www.migf.com.
Starting in 2001 to revitalize a sleepy fine dining sector, and past winner of the Pacific Air Travel Association Gold Award for Marketing, MIGF has made hundreds of thousands people in countries throughout the world aware of Malaysia’s fine dining capabilities.
“It's good when the world knows that Malaysia can offer world class international cuisine and fine dining in addition to our relaxed and fabulous hawker fare,“ says Dato’ Steve Day. “The country needs to offer both, especially if we are to attract premium, high yield tourists and delegates for our MICE business.”
THE MIGF 2010
For the uninitiated, MIGF is a month-long food festival that draws visitors from all over the globe to taste and appreciate the international-standard of fine dining that is available in Malaysia. A whole host of top-class restaurants and hotels are involved, and their Master Chefs each create a special menu for the occasion, showcasing their signature dishes and greatest masterpieces to the palates of the world’s gourmands. These one-off menus can be enjoyed with or without specially-paired wines, and all come at special prices to encourage visitors to taste as many of these fantastic foods as they can.
Alongside the Festival Menus, each restaurant and hotel boasts deals on everything from
cigars to bed and breakfast packages, with most offering a special gift on arrival and even a
birthday cake if you celebrate your special day during the Festival!
For those who are truly looking to embrace this month of gastronomy, there are
5day/4night packages including limousine services to and from your Festival meals. These mini breaks can be supplemented with luxury days at the country’s top spas or even a relaxing round of golf.
The Festival offers diners the opportunity to get close and personal with their favourite Festival Master Chefs, and learn their famous kitchen tricks when diners sign up for the Master Chef Cooking Classes. Be on the lookout also for the chance to win fascinating prizes at these restaurants for the duration of the Festival. October is certainly a month to indulge and enjoy!

MALAYSIA HOSTS 1st ASIA DUCATI WEEK
It's a proud moment for Malaysia to be host country of the first and largest gathering of Ducati riders in Asia, the 1st Asia Ducati Week (ADW).
Held from 8 to 12 October , 2010, the event coincides with the much-anticipated Malaysian MotoGP at the Sepang International Circuit (SIC) as well.
The hosting of the ADW in Malaysia is a chance for Malaysia to showcase itself as an exciting holiday destination and especially as an ideal location for international racing events and big bike tours.
It brings together some 500 loyal fans of the Italian marque in Kuala Lumpur from 22 countries including Australia, Canada, China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, New Caledonia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Europe. It will also see the largest assembly of Ducati bikes - more than 500 machines of beauty and raw power valued at approximately RM60 million will be on show at SIC.
Participants of ADW are in for an exciting time in Kuala Lumpur with dinners; city tours; street parties in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's entertainment zone, Golden Triangle; and passes to the SIC Paddock Village during the MotoGP. The highlight of the ADW is the Ducati Riding Experience (DRE) - a motorcycle riding clinic conducted by Italian riding experts where participants can learn basic, intermediate or advanced levels of riding the Ducati right on the SIC track. Several Ducati demo bikes will be made available for loan during the DRE, however places for the riding clinic are limited.
Organised by Ducati APAC, the official importer of the Ducati brand in Malaysia, the event is co-hosted by Tourism Malaysia.
To help promote Malaysia during this time, some 16 Mega Fam participants from 7 countries are also being hosted by Tourism Malaysia. Their participation in the Mega Fam tour is expected to generate returns in the form of publicity write-ups on Malaysia in their respective publications.
