This summer, Penang is set to dazzle in shades of Dior as the celebrated Dioriviera experience makes its debut on the island, bringing a sun-drenched blend of fashion, art, and refined living. From 13 June to 11 August 2025, Dior transforms the stately colonial setting of Macalister Mansion into a glamorous Mediterranean-inspired escape &mdash; a luxurious homage to the spirit of summer and the timeless allure of wanderlust.
After charming fashion aficionados at Desaru Coast in 2023 and later in Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, this year&rsquo;s Dioriviera journey continues with a new chapter in Penang, inviting Malaysians and travellers alike to bask in Dior&rsquo;s take on the season of sun, style, and sensuality.

A Poetic Summer Reverie at Macalister Mansion
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/7fdc97fbc206b390482d70b600f88415acc2d843539777197cca9e42a2bd99f5" />
Set against the heritage backdrop of the iconic Macalister Mansion, the Penang pop-up is more than a retail event &mdash; it&rsquo;s a carefully curated immersive experience. Visitors will be welcomed into a Dior dreamscape, where colonial elegance meets tropical fantasy. Lush bamboo installations, breezy canopies, and Toile de Jouy-adorned settings evoke the feel of a coastal sanctuary, all under the artistic direction of Dior&rsquo;s evocative mise en sc&egrave;ne.
This latest Dioriviera concept is steeped in the spirit of eternal summer &mdash; an attitude as much as a collection. Drawing inspiration from Monsieur Christian Dior&rsquo;s enduring love for travel and sunlit shores, the Maison brings its Riviera vision to life through a kaleidoscope of breezy silhouettes, nautical stripes, and reinvented icons.
The Collection: Toile de Jouy Reimagined, Tropical Charm Enhanced
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/4a4ace1765a74328052cd7636d092b4dd0afcf82c0e517311436c3c8d90f6db7" />
At the heart of the capsule collection is Dior&rsquo;s signature Toile de Jouy Sauvage, this time rendered in fresh hues of pink, turquoise, and sun-bleached ivory. Joining the lineup is the new Toile de Jouy Palms motif &mdash; a design that celebrates the lush jungles and natural splendour of tropical landscapes. From ready-to-wear garments like sarongs, ponchos, and flowing blouses to accessories such as scarves, caps, and straw hats, the collection captures a carefree yet refined spirit.
The much-loved Lady D-Lite and Dior Book Tote bags also return in updated looks, adorned with the season&rsquo;s pastoral patterns. Footwear options range from minimalist to playful, with the beloved Dway slides available in a variety of colours, materials, and heel heights, while the Dioract mules and D-Sand sandals offer both comfort and style for city strolls or beachside lounging. The latter come playfully embellished with marine-themed charms that add just the right hint of whimsy.
Lifestyle Luxe: From Fashion to Homeware
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/b08b662b286c1ad6bb7b35e0d7fb19eb0c7e005f2347b4f00816bd44d7aa811b" />
In true Dior style, the Dioriviera experience extends beyond wardrobe staples into the realm of luxury home living. Dior Maison unveils a new range of summer essentials &mdash; beach mats, furniture, and tableware crafted from natural materials and decorated with the iconic Cannage pattern. Notable collaborations include ceramic palm trees by Jean Roger and hand-painted enamelware vases and candle jars from the Manufacture des Emaux de Longwy, adding a touch of artisanal French savoir-faire to any home.
Jewellery lovers can also revel in the Dior Cabinet d&rsquo;&Eacute;t&eacute;, a seasonal collection of ocean-inspired accessories &mdash; think seahorses, starfish, pearls, and turret shells, designed to complement any sun-soaked ensemble.
The Dior Caf&eacute;: A Taste of the Riviera in Penang
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/505a52ea3a7367727e56d47fd43aee3b6aae5e3cae32219bb80b8aa41e764972" />
A standout highlight of the experience is the Dior Caf&eacute;, nestled within the mansion itself. This refined culinary retreat is a destination in its own right, serving up an elegant selection of Dior-themed refreshments and treats in a serene, stylish setting. Whether you're there for an Instagram-worthy coffee break or a leisurely afternoon with friends, the caf&eacute; perfectly encapsulates the Dioriviera lifestyle &mdash; luxurious, artistic, and effortlessly chic.
The caf&eacute; opens daily at 10.30am, slightly earlier than the pop-up, which welcomes guests from 11.00am to 9.00pm. Visitors are encouraged to take their time, enjoy the space, and immerse themselves in the full experience &mdash; from sipping curated drinks to shopping the latest capsule pieces.
A Riviera Escape, Malaysian Style
By planting its Dioriviera flag in Penang, Dior has elevated Malaysia&rsquo;s northern jewel into the global fashion spotlight. With its blend of colonial charm, rich cultural history, and lush surroundings, Macalister Mansion offers the perfect canvas for Dior&rsquo;s poetic summer escape.
Whether you&rsquo;re a style enthusiast, a design lover, or someone simply seeking a unique seasonal indulgence, Dioriviera in Penang promises a multisensory journey into the world of Dior &mdash; elegant, inspiring, and undeniably summery.
Don't miss your chance to experience this captivating coastal fantasy, running from 13 June to 11 August 2025. Whether for the fashion, the caf&eacute;, or the artful ambience, the Dioriviera pop-up is poised to be Penang&rsquo;s hottest destination of the summer.

June Babies, Rejoice! FamilyMart’s Giving Away Free Ice Cream For Your Birthday

We all know that in Malaysia, the F&amp;B market is notoriously hard to crack &ndash; but with a bit of grit, clever marketing, and maybe a sprinkle of boycott momentum (*cough* Starbucks and the Palestine conflict *cough*), the doors have slowly opened for homegrown names to rise to prominence.

One of the most successful among them is ZUS Coffee &ndash; a proudly Malaysian franchise that has rapidly captured public attention. Known for its bold branding and aggressive expansion, ZUS has steadily built a loyal following. Originally famed for its coffee, the company is now setting its sights on a new frontier: tea.
ZUS Coffee Eyes Out Their Competition With New Tea Series Drinks
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
My honest opinion: It's not that good. It tastes like 'artificial flavour' especially with the extra fragrance. 2/5🌟 This is not it Zus, especially at that price point. 🙂&zwj;&harr;️ Chagee has put the bar so high when it comes to tea.

Recently, ZUS Coffee officially launched its brand-new &ldquo;ZUS Tea Series&rdquo;, diversifying its previously coffee-dominated menu to tap into Malaysia&rsquo;s booming milk tea craze. The new range features three flavours &ndash; Dark Oolong Milk Tea, Jasmine Milk Tea, and White Peach Oolong Milk Tea &ndash; each available hot or iced.
It didn&rsquo;t take long for netizens to notice the strategic similarities to CHAGEE, a leading premium tea franchise in Malaysia. X (formally known as Twitter) user @fdajesfry remarked, &ldquo;ZUS now has a Tea Series and they&rsquo;re clearly going for CHAGEE&rsquo;s target market, they put White Peach Oolong Milk Tea at the top of the list.&rdquo; The user rated the new drinks 2 out of 5 stars, citing artificial taste and overpowering fragrance.
Still, some online users applauded ZUS for its daring move, recognising it as a calculated expansion that responds to growing demand for milk teas &ndash; especially among a younger crowd shifting their loyalties from international brands to local players.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments from netizens online:

CHAGEE&rsquo;s Market Dominance&mdash;and Its Recent Setbacks

CHAGEE has become a go-to name for premium milk teas in Malaysia, known for its sleek stores and Chinese-inspired flavours. However, the brand hasn&rsquo;t been free of controversy.

In March 2025, CHAGEE drew sharp criticism after its mobile app featured a &ldquo;nine-dash line&rdquo; map &ndash; a controversial symbol tied to China&rsquo;s maritime claims in the South China Sea. The inclusion sparked outrage among Malaysians who saw it as politically insensitive. Following public backlash, the brand removed the graphic and issued a public apology.
This wasn&rsquo;t the first time CHAGEE found itself under fire. Back in November 2024, the company faced public anger over a lucky draw campaign that triggered complaints of employee misconduct and alleged rigging. Again, the brand responded with a formal apology, but the episode damaged consumer trust.
These back-to-back PR setbacks may have opened the door for competitors like ZUS to step in and appeal to Malaysians seeking ethically and locally grounded alternatives.
RM9.90 Launch Promo: Will ZUS&rsquo;s Tea Steal the Spotlight?
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/720109275e8f5f0f0f875c479a00835a977987e2a6207e3c8ea31acdd2f78a6e" />
ZUS Coffee is currently offering its new Tea Series at an introductory price of RM9.90 &ndash; a tempting invitation for customers to try the drinks and decide for themselves whether ZUS can stand up to the established tea giants.
Love it or hate it, one thing&rsquo;s for sure: ZUS isn&rsquo;t just watching the market &ndash; it&rsquo;s actively disrupting it. With clever timing, local roots, and an eye on its competitors&rsquo; stumbles, ZUS Coffee is carving out more than just a niche &ndash; it&rsquo;s building a brand that&rsquo;s here to stay.

ZUS Coffee Enters The Tea Game – And CHAGEE Might Just Be In Their Crosshairs

In a marketplace saturated with conventional promotions and loyalty schemes, global ice cream brand Mixue has taken a refreshingly different approach to customer engagement in Malaysia. Eschewing the usual discounts and digital vouchers, the brand launched a creative and interactive promotion that offered customers free ice cream in exchange for a lively public performance of the company&rsquo;s catchy theme song.
This unusual campaign has not only drawn crowds and applause in-store, but also taken social media by storm&mdash;proving once again that when brands let their customers do the talking (or in this case, the singing), the results can be pure marketing gold.
Heartfelt Performance by Five Friends Captivates Netizens Online

</blockquote>

<script async="" src="https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js"></script>

One particular video that has gone viral exemplifies the spirit of the campaign perfectly. Uploaded by TikTok user @casa.markaz, the clip features a man and four of his friends standing confidently at a Mixue counter, preparing to belt out the company&rsquo;s theme tune in exchange for free ice cream.
Before diving into their impromptu concert, the group&rsquo;s spokesman cheekily asked the cashier, &ldquo;Kak, if we sing, we get it for free, right?&rdquo; After receiving confirmation, he turned the camera to his friends, gave a quick &ldquo;1&hellip;2&hellip;3,&rdquo; and the group launched into a spirited rendition of the brand&rsquo;s familiar jingle.
What made the moment even more memorable was the visible contrast in personalities&mdash;while most of the group sang with pride and joy, one of them bowed his head in bashful embarrassment halfway through, clearly not as outgoing as the rest. Still, the group completed the song, drawing smiles and applause, and were soon seen happily enjoying their well-earned reward.
The heart-warming and hilarious video has since garnered over 1.2 million views, rapidly spreading across social media platforms and igniting conversations about the cleverness of the campaign.
Laughter, Applause and a Lesson in Low-Cost Virality
Online reactions to the campaign have been overwhelmingly positive. In the comments section of the now-viral video, users praised the group&rsquo;s courage and sense of humour, noting that such spontaneity is rarely seen in public settings these days.
Many also empathised with the introverted member of the group, while others joked about the experience of Mixue staff, who were likely inundated with countless renditions of the jingle throughout the day.
&ldquo;This is pure marketing genius&mdash;get people singing, laughing, and posting your brand for free!&rdquo; &ldquo;The shy guy is all of us deep inside.&rdquo; &ldquo;Imagine being the cashier&mdash;20 versions of the same song, every day!&rdquo;
Beyond the humour, many marketing observers have pointed out the sheer effectiveness of Mixue&rsquo;s approach. It cost them little in terms of overhead, yet the exposure gained through user-generated content and social shares has far exceeded the return of traditional media campaigns.
Here&rsquo;s some of the comments:
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ac05617732ef15f3da330775718d75e6b0ba0cf33457b1412308e2062a8d367f" />

From 1st to 12th May, any customer willing to sing the &ldquo;Mixue Melon Time&rdquo; song at a participating branch will be rewarded with a free Melon Ice Cream, turning everyday visits into mini musical performances.
But the campaign doesn&rsquo;t end at the store counter. From 1st to 14th May, Mixue is also inviting fans to get creative online. Participants can record themselves singing or dancing to the &ldquo;Melon Time&rdquo; jingle and post their videos on social media with the hashtag #MIXUEMelonTime. Those with the most entertaining or original entries stand a chance to win a variety of prizes, including:
<ul>
<li>🎁 Xiaomi Smart Band 9</li>
<li>💡 Mixue Snow King Tap Lamp</li>

</ul>

Mixue’s Sing-For-Ice Cream Campaign Has Malaysians Singing (And Crying) For Joy

Fans of NCT Dream in Malaysia have every reason to celebrate this April as Chenle (천러), one of the group&rsquo;s most beloved members, is making a highly anticipated return to Kuala Lumpur. This time, it&rsquo;s not just for music or fan signings&mdash;but for tea. Yes, tea. More specifically, CHAGEE tea.
From Casual Fan Moment to Tea Brand Phenomenon
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/2e4a667677bf2142d42c664e2272561ee2618cc0cc7f504f475f14029e06f884" />
Back in May 2024, during a fan signing event in Malaysia, Chenle inadvertently became a key marketing force for CHAGEE, a premium tea brand that has rapidly grown in popularity across Southeast Asia. When a fan casually asked him about his favourite beverage, Chenle enthusiastically replied, &ldquo;Jasmine green milk tea!&rdquo;
That seemingly innocent remark created a ripple effect among fans, with many rushing to CHAGEE outlets to try the drink themselves. In the days and weeks that followed, CHAGEE reported a noticeable uptick in footfall and sales, all thanks to the unintentional but powerful endorsement from the K-pop idol.
Recognising the extraordinary impact of this viral moment, CHAGEE has now made things official by naming Chenle as a &ldquo;Friend of CHAGEE&rdquo;. This honorary title is not just symbolic&mdash;it comes with a dedicated signature drink and a nationwide promotional campaign.
Introducing the Hojicha Genmai Milk Tea
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/ed392f6a77815bb2c1d7b8bf6bc67846a2a4724d80635515db6dbced725cf8ff" />
To celebrate this partnership, CHAGEE has released a brand-new beverage in Chenle&rsquo;s honour: the Hojicha Genmai Milk Tea. A rich, roasted blend of Japanese hojicha tea and genmai (toasted brown rice), the drink brings together comforting warmth and nutty undertones&mdash;perfect for fans looking for something new while enjoying a flavour that pays tribute to Chenle&rsquo;s taste.
The launch of this signature drink marks a milestone not just for CHAGEE, but also for K-pop collaborations in Malaysia, reflecting how celebrity influence can transcend music and blend seamlessly into lifestyle brands.
CHAGEE Teases Special Guest&mdash;Fans Guess Correctly
Last week, CHAGEE sparked excitement online with cryptic social media posts hinting at a &ldquo;special guest&rdquo; making an appearance in Malaysia. It didn&rsquo;t take long for fans to piece together the clues and suspect that Chenle was the mystery figure in question.
Their instincts proved spot on. CHAGEE has now confirmed that Chenle will indeed be coming to Malaysia for an exclusive meet and greet event later this month. This announcement has since sent fans into a frenzy, eager for a chance to meet the idol face-to-face.
Scratch and Win: Your Chance to Meet Chenle
&nbsp;<img src="https://r2.myc.my/fac7d65f67ae6ffd8dc63e25dea9aff758a5aef25bd7cee76a13df39731e25a3" />
In conjunction with this upcoming event, CHAGEE has launched a &ldquo;Scratch and Win&rdquo; campaign to give fans the opportunity of a lifetime&mdash;a personal meeting with Chenle himself. The mechanics are simple yet exciting.
From 11th April 2025, customers who spend RM30 or more at selected CHAGEE outlets&mdash;either by walking in or using the CHAGEE mobile app&mdash;will receive a scratch card from the tearista at the counter. These cards offer various prizes, including vouchers for the Hojicha Genmai Milk Tea, merchandise, and the grand prize: an exclusive meet and greet ticket with Chenle.
The campaign is available at selected participating outlets nationwide, with full terms and conditions available via CHAGEE&rsquo;s social media platforms.

📅 Date: Saturday, 26th April 2025 📍 Venue: Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Main Entrance 🕒 Time: To be announced on CHAGEE&rsquo;s social media channels
Fans lucky enough to win the exclusive passes will get to experience an intimate session with the NCT Dream star, who continues to be a fan favourite not just for his vocals, but also for his bright personality and loveable charm.
Stay Tuned and Sip On
With the countdown officially on, excitement continues to build among NCTzens and tea enthusiasts alike. CHAGEE is expected to reveal more surprises in the coming days leading up to the big event, so fans are strongly encouraged to follow their Instagram and Facebook pages closely.
Whether you&rsquo;re in it for the tea, the idol, or both&mdash;CHAGEE&rsquo;s latest campaign is a unique blend of celebrity culture and lifestyle marketing done right. Will you be one of the lucky few to meet Chenle up close? Better grab your drink and scratch away.
