Gosh! Let me share what I saw this morning, and why KL people should make a fuss bout this. I just darted to the new Casuarina Penang, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. Ms Cawen was kind to show me around, and she could easily sense my jealousy indeed. The place - now known as Hard Rock Cafe Penang - looked fab and zippy, blings and zazz, and personally it was just awesome! - the same feeling I got for my first time inside London's HRC dungeon! The place, offers 200 plus rooms [Promo Rate RM366+ single or double RIB*] has the longest pool in Penang, the chic lobby that filled with memorabilia of Bon Jovi’s, Aerosmith’s, Madonna’s etc - but my personal best is the Lounge Rooms that connect to the pool itself. You can watch Astro in bed, suddenly to take a dip in seconds just outside your balcony!
The HRC shop is just next to the parking area, and I’d be coming back to the Café for my evening snack to tell you more about the service - or the life band. But the foremost point is, this is a doomed conspiracy at the highest level! How come KL - with the existing HRC - couldn’t have all this? We must fight to have a big-plus outlet like this one, and reclaim our reputation as the ORIGINAL Batu Keras in Malaysia. But who cares about sizes, when it boils down to good music and good times, right?
The urban rumour has it that it will be one single HRC outlet in each country - PR of China and Japan knew this alright - but hopefully I don’t have to drive 400km just to buy collectible glass next year. Well no matter how big or how long the pool in HRC Penang is, I still prefer the good-old KL outlet. Ok, Penang’s is furnished with a life-size white statue of MJ [yeah, Abraham Lincon’s look-alike] but NO they don’t have the trademarked Harvey. And it doesn’t rotate as well! KL still Rules!
