Besides beers from the tap, I have not observed any fresh bottled beers selling in supermarkets or restaurants before until I discovered this Taiwan Beer ‘Only 18 Days’ in Taipei.

The beer taste good and refreshing because this beer is fresh from the brewery without sterilization. As a result, this bottled beer only good for 18 days as printed on the bottles.

The beer is distributed from brewery to outlets entirely below 8 degrees Celsius. More importantly, it is the freshest bottled beer in Taiwan or maybe in South East Asia.

This beer is certainly a great companion when tasting the delicious 台灣熱炒美食. Amazingly, each 600ml bottle Taipei Beer ‘Only 18 Days’ only selling less than NT$65. Man, this is heaven!

Stop looking at your phone and start looking at the moon now!

According to researchers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), a giant rabbit-shaped impression with 3,000 kilometres wide on the moon was created by a collision with a giant meteorite over 3.9 billion years ago.

The length of the low-calcium pyroxene distribution was around 3,000 kilometres, nearly the length of the moon’s diameter. The meteorite that created the basin is thought to have been around 300 kilometers in diameter.

The rabbit-shape is said to have been made when lava erupted after the meteorite and other meteorites hit, collecting and blackening on the surface. The side of the moon that cannot be seen from the Earth is different, nearly completely white and having a thick crust.

Have you ever taste any beer with mango flavour? And yes, I found this in Taipei.

Taiwan Beer now come with Pineapple and Mango flavour. Basically, it tastes like combination of mango juice plus beer. Most importantly, alcohol beverages in Taiwan are affordable, so is heaven here to me!

Recently, I am appealed by many sport bike especially the new Honda CBR1000RR and follow by the Ducati 1199 Panigale. At least to me, the Ducati 1199 Panigale is basically a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera for a sport bike.

A quick introduction, the Ducati 1199 Panigale is introduced at the 2011 EICMA. It is named after the small manufacturing town of Borgo Panigale.

At the time of its release, the Ducati 1199 Panigale was the world’s most powerful production twin-cylinder engine with maximum 195hp @ 10,750 rpm and a max torque of 132Nm @ 9,000 rpm from a liquid cooled 90° 1,198 cc V-twin engine.  This bike is recommended to be running with high-octane fuel (RON97 or above) since the compression ratio is running @ 12.5:1. The engine is mated with 6-speed transmission with wet multi-plate slipper clutch and chain drive.

Imagine, 195hp powering the 1x rear wheel. This bike is proven a lot faster than Porsche 911 GT2 RS on a drag race. Watch the video below!

The 1199 Panigale only come with a dry weight of 164 kg, the 1199 has the highest power-to-weight and torque-to-weight ratios among production motorcycles.

The 1199 is also one of the first production sports motorcycles to feature electronically-adjustable suspension. Rebound and compression damping is adjusted electronically while pre-load is still adjusted manually.

If you realised, the 1199’s exhaust system and mufflers are underneath the engine. What other sport bike can be cooler than the Ducati 1199 Panigale, please share with us more here.

Honda Malaysia Sdn Bhd today introduced the Honda Jazz S variant. The practical and stylish Jazz S maintains the essential features of the popular 5-door compact hatchback.

The Jazz S is a Completely Build-Up (CBU) unit from Thailand. With the original concept of “Man Maximum, Machine Minimum”, the Jazz S continues the legacy of maximizing the space available for humans and minimizing the space occupied by mechanical components. This is aimed at creating an ideal compact car that combines spaciousness, utility, fuel efficiency, refinement, comfort and safety all into one attractive package.

Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Yoichiro Ueno said, “We are pleased to offer the S variant of the Honda Jazz to Malaysians. The Jazz has always been well received in Malaysia and we are delighted to introduce another version of the stylish compact car to Malaysians. We believe the Jazz S will appeal to young professionals who are interested in a compact yet practical vehicle that caters to their fun driving and active lifestyle. It is also targeted at young urban families who demand a spacious interior for their daily lifestyle needs.”

Exterior wise, the Jazz S comes with a 15” alloy wheel and a new dynamic front and rear bumper with 3-tier tail lights. The black mesh grille maintains the stylishness while the fog lights ensure better visibility during misty conditions. The Jazz S is also equipped with front and rear mudguards for additional protection.

The Jazz S is powered by the 1.5L i-VTEC engine, Honda’s signature technology. The 5-speed Auto Transmission combines with the signature i-VTEC engine to offer excellent drivability, performance and fuel efficiency. The Drive-By-Wire (DBW) technology controls the engine with the 5-speed automatic transmission to give smoother shifting and reliable acceleration and linear driving performance at regular speed range.

The Jazz S retains the key features of the Jazz such as the Ultra Seat and a large boot space that emphasizes great practicality and space. The ever-dynamic Ultra Seats, which is now in blue-black, can be folded in one swift action. It can be transformed, flipped and adjusted easily to different modes for different purposes. Additionally, the unique central fuel tank layout, which is located underneath the rear seats, creates a larger legroom for both front and rear seat passengers.

The Jazz S is not only geared to deliver exciting performance, but also capable of keeping its driver and passengers safe while minimising harm to pedestrians outside. The G-force Control Technology (G-CON) helps to disperse crash impact. Its Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) controls unexpected situation and stabilises the vehicle. Additionally, the Dual SRS Airbags, 3-point Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) safety belts, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electrical Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA) are featured in the Jazz S.

The Jazz S is available in Brilliant White Pearl, Polished Metal Metallic and Crystal Black Pearl. It is now available in all Honda Malaysia showrooms. Honda Malaysia targets to sell 210 units by the end of this year. The practical, stylish and compact Jazz S comes with an affordable on-the-road price tag of RM 99,800.00.
