Having a picnic in a shopping mall!

Photos by AZLINA ABDULLAHIT IS not very often that urbanites get to have a picnic in an urban park – right in the middle of a shopping mall.Guests at the recent launch of self-serve cafe D'lish did just that.Armed with picnic baskets filled with gour-met take-away meals from D’lish and a picnic mat, guests sat themselves comfortably on the floor of the Bangsar Village I concourse. Hands-on lesson: Guests learning how to decorate a cupcake. While some people nibbled on their roast beef sandwich, potato salad and even Peking duck wrap, others wandered around the urban park to get henna tattoos, massages, foot re-flexology, cupcake decorating lessons and even caricatures. Among the local personalities seen lazing around on their picnic mats were Craig Fong, Ida Nerina, Xandria Ooi, Reza Zainal Abidin, Adrian Seet, Putri Aliya Soraya and Putri Zehan Marissa.“I just love this. It’s a fabulous idea. I especially love the cupcakes, which I decorated myself,” said a contented Ida Nerina.Munching on a bag of potato chips, actor Craig Fong declared that the picnic was heavenly and heart-warming. Goodies to set the mood: The picnic baskets offered to guests for the urban picnic at the D’lish launch. Serena C was the emcee for the afternoon while Otam, Paolo Delfino and DJ Boon provided the entertainment on stage. D’lish made full use of the urban park set-up, using it for a charity festival the following two days.The Delicious Group Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Benjamin Yong said the group, including Delicious Cafe, had a strong base in Bangsar Village so it was a good way to give back to the community.All proceeds from the charity event will be channelled to the Kids' For Kids’ Charity Foundation.
