Sorry guys, I have been postponed the release of this blog. I lost the draft (DAMN SAD). And I have to remember section by section that I wrote before and make a new draft. So, stay on spirit and lets start.
For you guys who don't know about what I'm talking about on the prologue. Just skip that and read from this paragraph. On this blog, I wanna share about my experience the couple weeks ago at AirAsia RedQ (RedQuarter), Kuala Lumpur. I was invited by AirAsia Indonesia to have a big event there called SANTAN FOOD FEST (meal on board). This is my first time to have an event like this and you will know how excited I was. You know what, I met TONY FERNANDES, YAY!!
SANTAN FOOD FEST
We travelled from Soekarno Hatta Airport, Indonesia (Terminal 2F) at 8AM and arrived Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) safely at 11AM. AirAsia RedQ is located about 600 metres from KLIA2 if you take a walk reaching there. Before that, we had lunch first at Nando's and the food was amazing
Here's my previous review for this PERi PERi CHICKEN on Instagram "How come the taste of "PERi-PERi CHICKEN" from @nandosmy is felt like still on my tastebud and make my mine keep thinking about its deliciousness. Origanally, @nandosuk comes from UK and my friend @makansampaikenyang on his vlog that Nando's had ever opened in Indonesia but It's closed. So, in the chance visiting Kuala Lumpur yesterday on @airasia "Santan Food Fest" event, we come to @nandosmy before it. All Nando's A-grade chicken are marinated for 24 hours in secret sauce until the flavour goes right through to the bone. Also being flame-grilled (reduces fat) and basted in your choice of Nando's PERi-PERi sauce (Hot or Extra Hot) which keeps the chicken succulent and tender. Once you visit Malaysia, don't forget to find @nandosmy you will absolutely love it.
Soon after lunch, we prepared ourself to go to AirAsia RedQ by walking. We had to walk about 600 metres from KLIA2 and the weather was so hot. The sun shone so brightly and you guys guess what did happen to my small eye because of the light. Feel exhausted but it was OK when we were closer enough to the AirAsia RedQ. All it took about 15 minutes to reach AirAsia RedQ from the back.

As always, self portrait is a must. It marked you ever been here.

Why White Works
As we entered AirAsia RedQ from the back, I could feel the crowd of the event from the distance. Count down 3, 2, 1...
SANTAN FOOD FEST
A good first impression when we got here. Amazing place, Working Space but looked like Mall (Shopping Center) The hall is so so damn wide. That wood chair and table were suitable for the event. They had us to feel like a picnic while tried their in-flight meal that introduced on that day.
Press Conference
Everybody (blogger, media, and influencer) from about 10 countries gathered around while to listen Opening Speech by Tony Fernandes, CEO of AirAsia (right side), Dun Deramun, AirAsia Tune Qpr Caterham Epsom Kuatagh, and that bald guy. I forgot his name. Will find out his name. Scroll for more.

At the end of press conference, the dancers prepared their self to perform as opening act.
Toxic (Britney Spears) Dance

Dance Crew
Let me guess, all the dance crew are the AirAsia flight attendant (correct me if I'm wrong) But the special one is the man in the middle position of the group. I didn't know what made him special. Everybody yelled at him once he come out to the stage and applaud for him. But I realized then, he appeared on the AirAsia in-flight magazine and his name is ASSRAF NASIR, a cabin crew of AirAsia. Read this!
"When a video clip of AirAsia X cabin crew Assraf Nasir dancing to Britney Spears' iconic Toxic onboard an AirAsia X aircraft was posted on Twitter, little did he know that his performance would be picked up by international media, and shared hundreds of thousands of times on social media. The online sensation talks to us about his instant fame and how he is handling all the attention"
After the dance show, Tony Fernandes gave some cooking demo, but I missed it. We better get going to the Food Section. I just only show some of SANTAN food they have. For the full version, you can have your own flight with AirAsia and check Magazine behind the seat. I think it is just available for flight that related to Malaysia. Will gonna make sure about this and tell you soon.
SANTAN FOOD FLATLAY
Santan, also known as coconut milk, is liquid that comes from grated coconut flesh. Santan is a popular ingredients and cooking base used by many in Southeast Asia because of its rich flavours, undeniable health benefits and the ability to be used in various cooking styles. AirAsia said that they pride themselves in serving the best Asean meals on board using Santan as one of the core ingredients in many of our meals. So the next time you start wondering why their meals meals taste so good.
1. Pak Nasser's Nasi Lemak
Pak Nasser's Nasi Lemak
One that truly unites Malaysians, this coconut rice dish continuously stands the test of time. Served with Pak Nasser's chili sambal and chicken rendang. This all-day meal is complemented with fried anchovies, crunchy groundnuts and julienne egg.
2. Uncle Chin's Chicken Rice
Uncle Chin's Chicken Rice
Crowd favourite and a seasoned champ, Malaysians Hainanese Chicken Rice features seasoned rice served with roast chicken and accompanied with Uncle Chin's secret chili, ginger, and garlic sauce.
3. Nasi Kuning Manado
Nasi Kuning Manado
Actually this meal is not included on the list of SANTAN FOOD FEST. I got this meal on board when I travelled back to Indonesia with AirAsia flight. This meal is well-prepared for Indonesia passenger that also using Santan as base on the rice. As I opened this meal, I scent aroma that strengthen my appetite. They created this meal in Manado style by using Cakalang (just like Tuna). Additional authentic SAMBAL BAJAK to give spicy taste.
Some of you would say there's nothing special on the food because it is just a simple onboard meal. But before you judge further, you gotta to try by your self inside the plane. Their SANTAN is totally different. It gives you another taste that will enhance your eating experience on board.
After everything was done, private interview session began. We would have the queuing interview with TONY FERNANDES country by country. Before it started, I ran into TONY and have a shot with him. Surprisingly, he posed by putting his hand on my shoulder before shot, such as our close friend and so humble. That's why, he became a CEO. Wish I could be a CEO for my own company.

Let's move to the another section that I love. Since I got home from the AirAsia event the couple weeks a go, I'm just not in patient to open my computer and start to write about this. Now, here's the chance to share with you, "AIRASIA REDQUARTER"
First Floor
Working
They were still working even there was an event beside them without felt any disturbance. Just wanna give applause for their concentration and dedication to the company.

Lets move to the 2nd Floor, my favourite floor after all. But lets explore the canteen (behind the stair) first.

Another Bridge
There's also bridge at 3rd Floor. This 3rd's bridge is connected with 2nd's bridge with stairs. I prefer 2nd's bridge than the 3rd's bridge. The 2nd's is just too amazing for OOTD shot.
Whole Floor
I'd rather say a "Shopping Mall" than an Office
Motivation
This is the most iconic wall when you are at 3rd Floor. With big font, the words can make your eyes point on it. I think this word is just like a Corporate Idendity that every workers have to apply it on their job in AirAsia.
