Peter Hoe Beyond

We were invited to the 3rd Annual Boh Cameronian Arts Awards - Cocktail Gathering themed ‘Pink Mischief’ at Peter Hoe’s Beyond Outlet. (Thank you! Thank you! To Kathy of Kakiseni.com and Paddy Schubert for the invitation.. J ) We were wondering where this venue was in the rain from the fuzzy map faxed to us, as the cocktail was not held at some normal hotel or restaurant venue .. well the people in the arts have to do things creatively right? Nevertheless, we managed to find this jewel of a place called Peter Hoe’s neatly tucked in China Town. Why are we telling you all this?? Simply because we believe in sharing. This place is Amazing! Yes yes, we could go on and on about the function and who performed and who was there but we specifically wanted to highlight the venue. They are after all one of the many sponsors for the awards. We felt that this was too good a secret to keep quiet about despite their wishes to grow slowly and by word of mouth. Peter Hoe has two outlets, Beyond (picture) and Evolution. For those of you who love shopping and interior decorating, this is heaven. You have to experience it for yourself. It’s interesting what you can find in KL that you never knew existed. To us, it was a revelation. We came across a note in a frame that said, “This store is the result of 15 years of hard work, so enjoy yourselves.” How fitting it was as it was very apparent from the diversity of products they had on display. He has painstakingly sourced and had items custom made from India, Indonesia, Thailand and other places. From Fashion, Unique Batik Materials, Clothes, Accessories, Jewellery, Home Décor, Cutleries, Stationery, Bags, Gifts in Silver, Leather, Wood, Silk, Wool, Paper in colours of Fuschia Pink, Lime Green and … Let me catch my breath.. Enuff Said! There’s even a café just for you to chill out to. Yes I know we sound like kids discovering candy for the first time. It was!! Like Ikea meets Ombak meets Thai Silk! Yours truly was so busy shopping while the other guests were enjoying their cocktails and conversations. Where was the ATM when you needed one! Whatever it is, this place is wonderful to find those unique items that will be the envy of your friends. Haiya.. don’t tell them that the prices are very reasonable laa! Hush hush.. our little seclet aaa.. Peter Hoe’s is open everyday till late evening including Sundays. You can call them at 03-20269788 or 03-20262788. Look for a very helpful staff by the name of Mutiara and mention that Ascension sent you. It is located at No 145, Jalan Tun H.S Lee, 2nd Floor Lee Rubber Building (above Popular Bookstore). Easiest way to get there is to head to Central Market from Puduraya, turn left at Jalan Tun H.S. Lee and you will see Popular Bookstore on your right. Highly recommended by Smoove & Ascension.
