ANIMENIA 2024 Press Conference
Even if you’ve never watched an episode of popular anime series, or aren’t even a fan of the genre, you must’ve at least heard some of their theme songs. The opening and closing tracks are part of what make an anime so memorable – and what better way to appreciate the soundtrack than to hear it being performed live in concert?
We recently attended the ANIMENIA 2024 press conference, which took place at Sungei Wang Plaza. With significant funding from My Creative Ventures, and the complete support of the Ministry of Communications & Digital, ANIMENIA 2024 is set to be staged at Jio Space in Petaling Jaya on 3rd and 4th February, 2024. The anime-themed orchestral concert and cosplay gathering event is expected to be one of the most notable events of 2024! Here’s what took place at the exciting press conference:

First Taste Of Icon Brewings’ New Dessert
Best known for their tasty strudels, Icon Brewings – a local cafe located near Cheras Leisure Mall – was our top gastronomic stop of the week. Aside from tasting their seasonal strudels (priced at RM24 each), we were introduced to a brand new dessert – the Sweet Corn pastry, which isn’t even out on the menu yet! Similar to their other strudels, the Sweet Corn pastry has a pleasant, creamy taste. The flakes were a little hard, but they added some crunchiness to the overall experience.
Of course, Icon Brewings has more than just strudels on their menu. Stay tuned to our upcoming review on our favourite recommendations! In the meantime, visit their website for more.
