Have you guys heard of the upcoming Lelong.my e-Commerce Fair (ECFair)? It is all about highlighting the E-Commerce community in Malaysia and at the same time to educate the consumers on the convenience, the available platforms / tools and the opportunities available on the Internet. E-Commerce has been around for quite some time but local consumers have generally been skeptical due to security and payment issues. Lelong.my aims to change this perception through this exciting event by bringing E-Commerce businesses from all over the country to right where the consumers are at a strategic location – the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre.

This first of its kind and the largest E-Commerce Fair in Malaysia will be held:

Lelong.My E-Commerce Fair (ECFair)
12 – 14th August 2011

If you’re a business owner, your business will be strategically placed and recognized among the 80,000 visitors we’re expecting! You’ll get to network with fellow industry leaders, expose your brand, educate the consumers and to even close deals with both consumers and businesses!

If you’re thinking of starting an online business, then this event will have all the resources you need! Whether it is web developers, E-Commerce Solution providers, E-Payment gateways or E-Marketing tools – they’ll all be there to assist you in your startup endeavors!

With over 240 booths at the exhibition, various exciting activities such as workshops, lucky draws, contest, free goodie bags and so on… Added on with the “Superbid of the Day” where you’ll get to live bid your favourite items auctioned on that day starting from RM1… I’m pretty sure the event would be worthwhile going, so do join the fair if you have nothing to do during that weekend!

Have you ever tried participating in a marathon? If yes, good for you! But no, I ain’t talking about the usual running marathon; how about a 12-hour food buffet marathon?

Just last weekend, Atrium Cafe of Pyramid Tower Hotel had invited some bloggers to participate in a day out within Sunway in conjunction with their 12-hour marathon buffet promotion. Now let me explain more about the marathon buffet promotion before I get on with whatever happened that day.

So if you’re thinking 12-hour buffet is insane and no one would spend the whole 12-hour in the buffet place, well Sunway Pyramid Tower Hotel‘s Atrium Cafe will explain to you how. Their 12-hour marathon buffet takes place from 11am – 11pm every Sunday and public holidays. No wait, that’s not all. Diners are allowed to go in and out of the place as many times as they wish! Means you may come for breakfast buffet, go for shopping at Sunway Pyramid, come back for lunch, splash around Sunway Lagoon, go have a shower and take a nap at Sunway Hotel, wake up and get ready for dinner, watch a movie and then come back for supper before 11pm! ALL THAT FOR RM68++ ONLY!! Children below the age of 12 are entitled to 50% discount! Now you know where to spend your weekend for a getaway.

So yeah, that’s basically the whole idea of this 12-hour marathon buffet. I was one of the lucky bloggers to experience it and damnnnn, I was pretty satisfied with the food variety offered @ Atrium Cafe. Bang for bucks!

The food was pretty good, love the cakes and dessert! Oh did I mention that I also tried out for the wan tan eating challenge? We were served with 200 wantans for those participating in the challenge that day (7 bloggers)! Well, obviously we didn’t finish all 200 lah lol.

Watch the video below:

Nahhh, I didn’t win the challenge. But at least I managed to gobble up 20 prawn wantan in 3 minutes! Not the fastest, i know

So after our breakfast+lunch, we had a mini pampering massage session for all the bloggers and some of us went on a ‘retail therapy’ shopping walk with the Sunway Pyramid vouchers given to us on that day. We came back for another round of makan later on and headed straight to Sunway Lagoon Extreme Park for Go-Kart session!

Those who have not tried out Go-Kart, you should go to Sunway Lagoon Extreme Park to try it out. Why? Because the kart cannot speed wan!! It’s a ‘joy-ride go kart’ instead of a ‘racing g0 kart’. If you’re a first-timer, then suitable for you la. For those looking for adrenaline rush, please look elsewhere… try the bungy jump instead or other exciting stuff offered at the Sunway Lagoon Extreme Park.

After our day out at Sunway Lagoon, we went back to Atrium Cafe and had our dinner there as well. Some of us did not stay until supper (like me) so we kinda missed out on some new dishes offered at night. Oh forgot to mention, they replenish the dishes for lunch and dinner. Thus, don’t worry if you think that you’re gonna be eating the same thing for breakfast, brunch, lunch, hi-tea, dinner, supper.

Hereby, I’ll mention again…

Marathon buffet starts from 11am – 11pm
Every Sunday / Public Holidays
RM68++ for adults / 50% discount for children aged 12 and below
