After CFE's showcase gig tonite, Naz took me to check out this new place Bubble Lounge that's directly across the street (& upstairs Le Bouchon) from Little Havana, Changkat Bukit Bintang. It was kind of a recce for a last minute birthday plan, and I wondered what a place with the name Bubble Lounge would be like. When I stepped in, I was awed!

It felt a bit classy, but at the same time cozy. I thought that this was quite a suitable place to just chill out in a quiet and intimate environment with friends. Except that I wasn't sure if the group I'll be bringing in Saturday (technically, later tonite) would appreciate it. It was 1am, and there was no one around!

I met the owner, Linda, and she showed me about the place & also the menu which contained mostly bubblies, affordable champagne! When I say affordable, I mean, she had a bottle of Mumm Cordon Rouge going for RM268! That's the one the Formula 1 drivers sinfully spray themselves with on the podium! =P They also serve other cocktails, and light food like tapas and pizzas that you can choose your own toppings.

So Linda got to talking about how they're set to customize a setting for any crowd - whether it was lounge music, jazz or house, setting a dinner table for 10 or just a private area for people to sit together. I felt almost obligated to come over because she was so accomodating!

Sitting at the section with a huge plasma TV while chatting with Linda made me feel like I was in her home instead of a Lounge, brought us to talking more and I discovered that we both enjoyed watching festival & independant films; she's a Cambodian educated in America & had actually moved here with her French husband because she fell in love with Malaysia after a few holidays here. And now with her barely half-a-year-old Bubble Lounge, she's already nestled here.

This is definitely a place I'd love to come back to. ^_^
