I watched Bites of Delight tonight with a group of friends and my daughter at The Temple of Fine Arts in Brickfileds, Kuala Lumpur. It is a musical extravaganza told through acting, dance and gamelan. Their interpretations of Asian folklores and contemporary take of gamelan, performed by 26 children had a very fresh appeal.
I found it thoroughly entertaining and was impressed by the professionalism and excellent timing of the children. They worked very hard for this production and are a talented lot. My daughter was wonderfully delighted throughout the show. It was a great ending to a wonderful day because she obtained good results in her public examination and exceeded my expectations. It was a musical treat for us. It was unanimous. We loved it.
If you are in Kuala Lumpur, don't miss it! Visit the twirly whirly world of bopoluchi, jackals, crows, goose, camels and busy bazaars amidst exotic music and singing choruses all in little ‘bites’ featuring original music compositions. Whether you are young or young at heart, you will be enchanted as these magical stories from the Spice Route takes shape through the eyes, passion and talent of our young performers. You will be charmed.
Hi CF,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the mother and daughter.
Temple of Fine Arts produces dance performances of very high quality. Long long time ago I lived next to the present building on the left, Tong Weng Mansion. At that time TOFA was not there yet. Its present building was "newly" constructed. Also a long long time ago I watched a Shakespeare's play (was it '"Romeo & Juliet"?) beautifully presented by TOFA Indian style!
In Penang, you can have vege lunch at their premises. No charge, you just give a donation. I don't know whether KL has this offer.
Dear Justin,
DeleteThank you. Annalakshmi is the Indian restaurant there. It used to accept donations but not anymore.

Hi CF
ReplyDeleteWow! You have certainly done it right. Most of the kids of today, especially the teenagers, would prefer to glue themselves to the computer watching the K-Pop performances over and over again. Such is the influence of K-Pop.
Your daughter must have obtained straight As for her UPSR? Congratulations!
Cheers
CP
Dear CP,
DeleteThank you. I know what you mean. The computer can certainly be a problem. It is a worrying trend indeed.
