Valentine's Dinner 2017 in the Great Hall of Hogwarts

Have you ever imagine that you are dinning at the Great Hall of Hogwarts with your love one? The Warner Bros Studio: The Making of Harry Potter is offering a special Valentine's dinner on the 11th and 12th February 2017 with an hour of the studio tour.

How much does it cost for such a special romantic witch-terious dinner in The Hogwarts?

£495 per table for two. This is equivalent to around MYR 2,700+ 

Is it worth it?

I paid for only £30 for the studio entrance ticket (in 2014). I had a great studio tour at The Making of Harry Potter but having Valentine's dinner at the Great Hall might be something that we can only imagine of all these while. Should be a good experience if you can afford it.

Shoya Sushi Bar at ISETAN The Japan Store

Since the opening of ISETAN The Japan Store, it was always crowded and long queue to try out The Market food and beverage bar. Yesterday, I decided to go for it, doesn't matter how long I need to wait, I must try the Shoya sushi bar; and I made it!

For the first attempt, I had the premium Omakase Shoya Kaisen Don (RM80). Super delicious and fresh seafood, served with rice. A must try.

The meat section offers a variety of steak and sirloin too. It was too tempting that I tried their Australian beef (grain fed), with the promise of consistently tender beef; how can I not try it.

When you made a purchase of the beer, you can send it to the bar to cook it for free.

So delicious and as what they have promised, tender Australian beef ribs steak for just RM30.96
