Let's Go Philippines (2026)

14/10/2025

Something deliciously theatrical is happening at Arthur's Bar & Grill, and it smells like truffle, oak, and perfectly aged Angus beef.

This October, the steakhouse at Shangri-La Kuala Lumpur is giving gourmands a taste of luxury with its "Farm-to-Fork Indulgence", a two-night-only dining event that celebrates both craftsmanship and conscious sourcing.

Happening on 16th & 17th October 2025, this culinary showcase highlights the artistry behind Stanbroke's Diamantina Premium Australian Beef—famed for its rich marbling and sustainable farming heritage. But the real star of the evening? The unveiling of Arthur's brand-new Dry-Ageing Chiller, where time, temperature, and technique come together to create the kind of steak that melts at first bite.

Diners will enjoy a curated five-course tasting menu paired with wines from Australia, Argentina, and Spain, designed to showcase the depth of flavour found in each carefully aged cut. Think Tangy Citrus Mesclun Salad with maple cold-smoked flank steak, 28-day dry-aged Angus ribeye tartare, and a Bone-in Striploin that's dry-aged to perfection and served with wagyu fat-fried chips and smoked Maldon sea salt.

Each course is crafted to tell a story—one that begins on Queensland pastures and ends in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. Throughout the evening, James Goodenough of Stanbroke will share insights into the sustainable practices behind Diamantina beef, giving diners a rare behind-the-scenes look at how premium quality and environmental responsibility can coexist beautifully on a plate.

And of course, every great meal deserves a grand finale. The night ends with a 70% Cacao Tallow Chocolate Sea Salt Slice, a decadent dessert balanced by wild berry compote and platinum caramel ice cream—proof that indulgence can be both rich and refined.

The "Farm-to-Fork" Indulgence is priced at RM300 nett per person for the tasting menu, or RM380 nett with wine pairing. Seats are limited for this exclusive showcase, so if you're craving a night of fine beef, fine wine, and even finer conversation—this is your cue.

The 1970s may be long gone, but MIDO is giving one of its most iconic designs a new chapter. The Multifort TV Chronograph revives the brand's distinctive TV-shaped silhouette with a bold new attitude.

This modern reissue combines vintage aesthetics with high-performance watchmaking, making it a standout piece for collectors and style enthusiasts alike.

A Classic Shape with a Modern Twist

Originally introduced in the 1970s, MIDO's TV case became a cult favourite for its bold, geometric design. The latest Multifort TV carries that same retro charm but transforms it into something entirely new with the addition of a chronograph function. The 42-millimetre stainless steel case features both satin-brushed and polished finishes, giving it a subtle balance of toughness and sophistication.

The dial is where this timepiece truly shines. Its gradient finish moves from vibrant blue to a deep midnight tone, creating an effect that feels alive as it catches the light. The horizontal brushed texture adds depth, while the white Super-LumiNova® on the indexes and hands ensures easy readability even in the dark. This is a watch designed to perform just as beautifully as it looks.

Built for Performance & Precision

Under the surface, the Multifort TV Chronograph runs on the MIDO Caliber 60 automatic movement, a reliable Swiss-made engine offering a 60-hour power reserve. It features a Nivachron™ balance spring, a high-tech material known for its resistance to shocks, temperature changes and magnetic fields. These details ensure accuracy and durability in everyday conditions.

On the dial, three counters track seconds, minutes and hours, complemented by a tachymeter scale along the fl**ge. A discreet date window at 4:30 completes the design without interrupting its symmetry. The sapphire crystal caseback reveals the beautifully decorated movement, with blued screws and an openworked rotor engraved with the MIDO logo—a reminder that true craftsmanship is as much about what's inside as what's seen.

Style That Adapts to You

MIDO offers two interchangeable straps with the watch. The stainless steel bracelet gives it an urban and refined appeal, while the blue synthetic fabric strap with white stitching offers a sportier, casual look. The quick-change system allows easy switching, making it adaptable for different occasions.

A Legacy That Keeps Moving Forward

The Multifort TV Chronograph captures the best of both worlds—the charm of a vintage design and the precision of modern technology. It represents MIDO's commitment to making watches that are as enduring as they are stylish. For those who appreciate timeless design with a hint of attitude, this is a watch built to keep up with every moment.

The Multifort TV Chronograph is now available at MIDO boutiques and authorised retailers in Malaysia.

12th December may be the day before Taylor Swift's birthday, but her fans are the ones getting gifted! The "Love Story" singer has recently announced two new projects for later this year, which follow her highly successful "The Eras Tour".

On Monday (13th October 2025), Taylor Swift announced via "Good Morning America" that she's releasing a six-episode docuseries and a concert film on 12th December 2025 (Friday). The docuseries, "The Eras Tour | The End Of An Era", and the concert film, "The Eras Tour | The Final Show", will be released on Disney+. Both releases focus on the last show of "The Eras Tour", which took place last December at BC Place in Vancouver, Canada.

SOURCES: INSTAGRAM ()

"The Eras Tour | The End Of An Era" is described as "an intimate look at Taylor's life as her tour made headlines and thrilled fans around the world." A trailer for the docuseries and concert film was released shortly after the announcement, giving the public a glimpse at what's to come. As shown in the trailer, singers Sabrina Carpenter and Ed Sheeran will make appearances, as well as Taylor's fiancé, Travis Kelce.

Dropping on the same day as the first two episodes of the docuseries is the "The Eras Tour | The Final Show" concert film. Unlike the previous "The Eras Tour" concert film, which was screened in cinemas globally, the new concert film will feature the tour's revamped setlist with the "The Tortured Poets Department" segment. The album dropped mid-tour and, as such, wasn't part of the setlist yet during the first film.

SOURCE: INSTAGRAM ()

Fans are undeniably excited about the two new projects. In fact, many Swifties have long predicted that a concert film or documentary was on the way, after noticing a significant number of the camera crew present at the final show. The announcement comes after Taylor's 12th studio album, "The Life Of A Showgirl", earned a whopping 4 million album-equivalent units in the first week.

For those wondering, Disney+ Malaysia has confirmed that both the docuseries and the concert film will be available locally. While we wait for the release, here's a look at the official trailer:

The daughter of prominent cosmetics entrepreneur Dato' Seri Vida, Cik B, has once again caught the public's eye, this time for a proud academic milestone. The 20-year-old was recently seen donning a graduation gown and mortarboard at the 2025 Convocation and Awards Ceremony organised by the "Academy in Industry" and UTMSPACE Services.

In a prestigious ceremony attended by peers and family, the young entrepreneur was honoured with the USS Voyager Award 2025, recognising her outstanding achievements and dedication to her chosen field. The achievement marks another significant step in her journey towards personal and professional growth.

Taking to Instagram, Cik B shared snippets of the memorable day, capturing the moment she received the award on stage while her mother, Dato' Seri Vida, looked on with pride. Keeping her caption simple yet heartfelt, she wrote "Alhamdulillah" accompanied by a graduation cap and white heart emoji.

She also delighted fans by sharing a light-hearted TikTok video featuring a playful red lipstick mark on her cheek, an obvious tell-tale sign of her mother's affection. The sweet moment perfectly captured the close bond between the mother-daughter duo, offering a glimpse into their loving relationship beyond the spotlight.

It was previously mentioned that the young business owner had been pursuing her studies in Business abroad in Barcelona, Spain, where she impressed many with her discipline and determination. In video clips shared online, most of her classmates appeared to be around the same age as her mother, suggesting that she was likely the youngest student in her class.

As expected, her posts quickly drew waves of attention from fans and followers alike, with many flooding the comments section to shower her with praise and heartfelt congratulations. We join her supporters in wishing Cik B continued success and the very best in her future endeavours, both academically and personally.

The entertainment industry can be gruelling, as entertainers' schedules rarely follow the usual nine-to-five routine. Nevertheless, many don't mind the long hours, as they're pursuing their passion. Beyond the demanding schedules, these stars, especially newcomers, must constantly prove that this is the path they truly want to take.

Those who have been in the business for decades are often open to offering guidance but will not tolerate a lack of discipline. Actress-singer Liyana Jasmay recently revealed just how strict she can be when working with up-and-coming talents in the industry. Here's her story:

Source: YouTube/SembangSeram

Over the weekend, Liyana Jasmay appeared as a guest on the final episode of the "Sembang Seram" podcast, where she shared some of her experiences with the paranormal. However, one moment from the episode stood out — when she revealed that the scariest thing on set is actually her when she's directing. "I can be quite terrifying on set. I've had actors who were afraid to approach me while working," she admitted.

She went on to clarify that she only becomes a "scary" director when actors fail to perform well; otherwise, she's fairly easy-going. "If you don't do well, I'll confront you like, 'What is your problem?' I'll speak through the walkie-talkie, questioning you, 'Have you got amnesia or something? Cut! Again! Cut!' — if you keep messing up," she added with a smile.

When the host mentioned his friend, actor Nik Rifaie's experience of working with Liyana, the actress remarked that Nik is a great actor, but he and the rest of the cast would still get an earful if anyone underperformed. The 37-year-old then shared a terrible experience she once had working with an unnamed actor who had an attitude problem. "He was the worst. He had no respect for anyone on set, so I removed all his scenes from the final cut," she said.

Liyana also recalled how the same actor once threatened to punch her during an argument after refusing to film a scene. "The production manager had to intervene. He apologised, but I don't think I'll ever forgive him for what happened. We don't need someone like that in the industry," she added.

Here's a snippet of the episode:

After six years and over 100 shows, Mandopop icon Jay Chou (周杰倫) finally concluded his highly successful "Carnival" world tour. Given how long the tour has run for, it's not surprising that there are things about it that the singer has never mentioned before.

On 11th October 2025 (Saturday), Jay Chou performed at the Shanghai Stadium for the final show of his "Carnival" world tour. The iconic tour began in 2019 and spans 110 dates across Asia, Oceania and Europe. During its six-year run, the tour was halted for two years from January 2020 to December 2022 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Many regard the tour as Jay Chou's biggest tour to date.

SOURCE: INSTAGRAM ()

After completing the final three shows in Shanghai, effectively concluding the tour, Jay Chou took to social media to reflect on its success. In his post, the singer thanked his fans for their overwhelming support in the past few years, saying, "Thank you for singing with me for hundreds of shows over the past few years. There may be some reluctance and disappointment, but more of it is anticipation for our next reunion."

At the same time, Jay also revealed some secrets about the tour, namely the hardships he faced. He said, "During the tour, there were actually some things I couldn't control, like panic attacks that prevented me from going on stage, when my voice wasn't in good condition, and when I was under a lot of pressure." However, the 46-year-old said he persevered through his shows because he didn't want to let down his fans who had waited patiently to see him perform.

The singer also mentioned returning to the stage soon, saying, "I don't know if I can sing in the original key for every show on the next tour, but I know that, regardless of whether I sing in the original key or not, I will still be back on stage to continue making memories with you." In the meantime, Jay's agency, JVR Music, hints that the Mandopop icon will launch a new tour in 2026 to celebrate his 25th anniversary.

110 shows is definitely a feat worth celebrating, especially knowing that Malaysia is part of that figure. While Jay Chou still hasn't officially announced a new tour, we know that fans will support it. Check out some clips from the last stop of the "Carnival World Tour":

If there's one thing we Malaysians can be proud of, it's that K-pop idols are rarely mobbed when they arrive at our airports. Yes, there have been occasions where overexcited fans got a little carried away, but for the most part, when these celebrities make their way through our airports, fans, as enthusiastic as they may be, tend to keep their distance. Also, thanks to the airport layout, the stars can usually walk through the terminal safely without being surrounded by large crowds.

Whenever a K-pop idol is scheduled to perform or make an appearance in Kuala Lumpur, fans usually gather at KLIA to catch a glimpse of their favourite stars and, if possible, greet them up close. Some may argue that overcrowding at the airport can be dangerous, and while that is a valid concern, the establishment itself is not entirely against fans turning up to welcome their idols.

Source: Twitter/kittoozuttoo/KLIA_my

For context, after TOMORROW X TOGETHER announced their upcoming concert in Kuala Lumpur, one netizen, believed to be a foreigner, expressed concern about the group's arrival at KLIA next year, urging others not to gather at the airport to greet the idols. This sparked a wave of reactions and discussions among local MOAs (TXT fans), many of whom argued that K-pop stars are rarely mobbed at Malaysian airports.

Even the official KLIA Twitter account appeared to respond to the post, writing: "The K-pop party is still going strong at KLIA! 🎉✨ Viviz, Twice, Zerobaseone and more are heading to KLIA Terminal 1, so get ready for hugeeeee vibes! ✨ Whether you're here for Eunha, Sana, Nayeon, Hanbin, Zhang Hao or all of these talented idols, let's keep the energy positive and respectful. Please be mindful of your surroundings and show love to fellow fans. Let's K-pop-ise KLIA with good vibes, amazing support and unforgettable moments! 🎶💫"

Fans have since praised KLIA for supporting the idol-greeting culture at airports, so long as everyone keeps a safe distance and appropriate measures are in place to ensure everyone's safety. Many also pointed out that KLIA's layout is ideal, as fans can welcome the idols from the upper floor while the singers wave to them upon arrival, as we've seen many times before.

Source: Twitter/KLIA_my

Others responded to the netizen's original (now-deleted) post, saying that while their concern was valid, they shouldn't have commented on Malaysia's idol-greeting airport culture without understanding how things are handled locally. Some even pointed out that those who have mobbed idols at airports were not locals, adding that Malaysian fans are generally known to be more respectful towards the artists.

It's honestly great to see fans coming together to give idols a warm welcome. Just like KLIA said, let's continue the positive energy while also being respectful. Will you be there at the airport when TXT arrives?

After nearly three years of silence, Joji has finally re-emerged online, and fans are losing their minds. The enigmatic singer-songwriter, best known for his melancholic hits and elusive persona, has broken his long hiatus with a series of subtle but telling updates across his social media platforms.

The unexpected move, which happened on 11th October (Saturday), marked the first visible activity from the artist since 2023. The Japanese-Australian artist, whose real name is George Kusunoki Miller, deepened the excitement two days later when he posted two teaser images with the caption "see u soon" on 13th October (Monday). The post marked the end of a 762-day silence since the release of his last album, "Smithereens", in 2022.

Source: Twitter/sush*trash

The teaser images show billboards featuring Joji's new visuals. One projected on a building known as The Reef in Downtown Los Angeles. The second displayed prominently on the Times Square digital billboard in New York City, an iconic landmark that has previously featured Malaysian stars such as Misha Omar and many others. If you happened to spot these mysterious visuals while passing by and wondered what they meant, now you know.

Fans were quick to dissect the teaser, analysing every frame for clues. Some claimed the visuals suggested a darker, more experimental tone, while others believe the post signifies a brand-new musical era. True to his mysterious nature, the artist provided no explanation or context. No captions, no release dates, just an invitation to wonder.

Source: Twitter/sush*trash

Joji first rose to fame as an internet personality under the comedic alias Filthy Frank before transitioning to music, where he gained critical acclaim for his genre-blending style that fuses R&B, lo-fi, and electronic influences. His emotionally charged tracks like "Slow Dancing in the Dark" and "Glimpse of Us" established him as a leading voice in the alternative pop scene, praised for his raw vulnerability and cinematic soundscapes.

Since completing his world tour in 2023, the singer has remained largely out of the spotlight, reportedly stepping back for health reasons. His sudden return has reignited excitement across the music community, with fans and industry watchers alike eager to see what direction he'll take next.

Source: Twitter/sush*trash

As of now, neither the "Glimpse of Us" singer nor his label, Warner Music, has released any official statements regarding new music or projects. Still, whether it's the start of a new era or just a taste of what's to come, fans are ready to listen for what's to come.

For now, all we can do is wait and hope that more good news or surprises are on the way. Are you excited for Joji's long-awaited comeback?

It's no surprise that Jackson Wang (王嘉爾/잭슨) has a lot of female fans, but who knew that a popular Hong Kong actress is part of that crowd? Recently, Grace Chan (陳凱琳) was spotted at the singer's Macau concert, living her best fangirl life!

The "GBAD" star is currently embarking on his world tour for his new album "MAGICMAN 2". Jackson recently performed three back-to-back shows in Macau, selling out the Galaxy Arena. Given his popularity in Asia, many celebrities attended the concerts. However, the star who caught the most attention was Grace Chan, who was at the third and final night. The actress even got a special shout-out from Jackson himself.

SOURCES: TIKTOK () & INSTAGRAM ()

At one point during the concert, Jackson mentioned seeing many of his celebrity friends in the audience. The camera then focused on Grace, showing her in her concert outfit. The actress had a bright smile on her face, waving to greet the cheering crowd. During the interaction, Jackson said, "Our princess is finally here with us today", which elicited more screams from the fans. Grace also appeared to get flustered at the sudden nickname.

However, the highlight was when Grace got to join Jackson and a group of other concert attendees to dance on stage. The 34-year-old seemed nervous at first, but quickly warmed up and started showing off her moves. Grace and Jackson even danced together, with the latter grabbing the actress's hand to give her a twirl before hyping her up for a solo shot. The two stars even shared a quick hug afterwards.

SOURCES: INSTAGRAM ()

After the memorable evening, Grace took to Instagram to talk about her experience. In her post, the star mentioned being surprised at the shout-out during the concert and being called a princess. However, she voiced gratitude towards Jackson for his kindness, saying she left the show as a bigger fan than before. Grace also shared photos from the night, including ones taken backstage with Jackson, rapper MC Jin and basketball player Jeremy Lin.

Online, fans were happy to see the two stars interact and have fun on stage. Perhaps we'll see Jackson interact with some local celebrities when he brings his "MAGICMAN 2" tour to Malaysia later this month. In the meantime, check out videos of Grace and Jackson during the concert and the actress's Instagram post:

Before the era of TikTokers and social media influencers, there was a time when content creators were known primarily as YouTubers, as YouTube was the biggest video-sharing platform of the 2010s. PewDiePie, iJustine, Tyler Oakley, and many other internet personalities built their careers on the platform and went on to break numerous records.

Dan Howell and Phil Lester are also among the original YouTubers from back in the day, having made headlines in 2019 when they came out as gay. Throughout their careers, there have been countless rumours about their relationship status, particularly whether they were romantically involved. The duo have now addressed the long-standing speculation and confirmed that they are indeed a couple. Here's the full story:

Source: YouTube/DanandPhil

On Tuesday (14th October), Dan Howell and Phil Lester posted a 46-minute video on their joint YouTube channel to confirm that they have been in a relationship for nearly 16 years. The pair were online friends for some time, posting videos on their respective channels, before finally meeting in 2009, after which they began making YouTube videos together and eventually moved in with one another.

In their latest video, the duo began by explaining the context behind "Phan", the ship name fans created by combining their names. While they expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support for their content, they admitted that some individuals had become extremely invasive about their private lives. This was one of the reasons they chose to keep their sexuality and relationship a secret.

Another reason they hadn't addressed the rumours earlier was that they didn't want their entire brand to be defined by their relationship. "If anything happened in our private life, not only would that be potentially personally distressing, but we would destroy our own careers. The audience would be torn apart, and people would choose sides," Dan explained, adding that he wouldn't have been able to cope with the public's reaction.

Source: YouTube/DanandPhil

The 34-year-old also revealed that another major reason for keeping their relationship private was that he was still in the closet before coming out in 2019. He described Phil as his safe space, as he was his first boyfriend. Phil, who had already come out to some close friends and family, wanted to give Dan the space to figure things out — even if it meant going back into the closet himself. "You were like a ray of sunlight. What we had was the most important thing to me, so I wanted to protect it," Dan told Phil.

As for why the UK content creators finally chose to come clean, much of it came down to the fact that the secrecy was holding them back, both professionally and personally, as it prevented them from growing as entertainers and forming close friendships. While there are still boundaries in place, Dan and Phil are determined to live authentically while continuing to create fun and engaging content for their audience. It's been a long time coming, so congratulations to the pair for finally embracing the future.
