To celebrate the spirit of togetherness and tradition this Hari Raya, let’s dive into "Hikayat Ayam Zamrud" by The Chicken Rice Shop (TCRS). Available for a limited time, this special creation is set to enhance the joy of festive gatherings with its bold flavours and vibrant presentation.

Hikayat Ayam Zamrud is a dish that captures the boldness, vibrancy, and flavour of a Raya that truly comes to life. Inspired by tradition, this dish pairs tender, juicy chicken with bold sambal hijau — a perfect blend of spicy green chillies, fragrant herbs, and zesty lime. Every bite is a tale of transformation, bursting with flavour and colour, made to be shared in the true spirit of Malaysian cuisine.

Finish off with a refreshing sip of Lagenda Kurma, it‘s truly a satisfying meal!

Sharing the significance behind this exclusive dish, Ms Jane Wong of The Chicken Rice Shop Restaurants Sdn Bhd said, “Hikayat Ayam Zamrud represents our commitment to creating meaningful culinary experiences that bring families together.

“This dish doesn't just nourish the body - it celebrates our rich cultural heritage and the profound connections we forge over shared meals. During this sacred time of Ramadan and Aidilfitri, we wanted to offer something truly special that honours tradition while creating new memories around the dining table.”

Make it a Guinness This St. Patrick’s Day

Drums pounding, feet stomping, and bagpipes soaring— Guinness, the world’s most loved Irish stout, is bringing the unmistakable spirit of Ireland across bars and pubs nationwide in its biggest St. Patrick’s celebration yet! In honour of Ireland’s patron saint, there’s no better way to celebrate than by raising a perfectly poured Guinness—the Irish Stout for St. Patrick's.

Kicking off the nationwide rollout, Guinness pulled out all the stops with an Irish takeover at The Square, Jaya One, and a grand parade led by a spectacular 30-piece ensemble of drummers, bagpipers, and Irish step dancers. This set the stage for an electrifying, high-energy celebration of its rich Irish heritage.

Fans are invited to experience the true magic of St. Patrick’s at participating outlets where camaraderie, music, and the smooth taste of Guinness come together. With every sip and every Sláinte (Irish for ‘cheers’), fans will be transported to the heart of Irish culture. When it comes to St. Patrick’s, there’s only one way to do it right—so make it a smooth, creamy Guinness for this celebration.

Guinness is spreading Irish charm across Malaysia, turning 40 pubs and bars nationwide into vibrant hubs of celebration from now until the end of the month. Fans can look forward to exciting games and fun activities amid the spirit of togetherness.
