Time Out Kuala Lumpur (http://www.timeoutkl.com/) has finally made its debut across major newsstands across the city. If you are not familiar with the Time Out magazines across the world (how could you not know it?), it was first published in London (http://www.timeout.com/) and now boost 23 international editions. And yes, Singapore has its own edition of the city magazine much earlier than us!
It's a magazine that will clue (read: KLue) you in on the latest happenings across town. Be it food, nightlife, culture, literary events, spas, fashion, and etc.
Finally a magazine that will compete with KLue and Vision KL (amongst many others). But in terms of contents, KLue is more features-based while Time Out is more listings-based. In other words, there are more articles in KLue magazine and there is more listings/reviews in Time Out magazine.
I like the Books section of the magazine because it included an interview with a local author. The reviews in the magazine are fair, which is good, because certain magazine will give a good review just because they advertised in the magazine. So it is definitely good that the editorial is truly independent. The layout and design truly is neat and organized and it reflects an international brand.
Priced at RM 4.90 per copy, I am sure Time Out will definitely be a hit among KL-ites. Afterall, don't we all love to consume international brands? What's for sure, TIME OUT KUALA LUMPUR (or simply known as TOKL according to the mag!) is for KL-ites, by KL-ites.
Happy Reading.
