LG Redefines Smart Homes with "Affectionate Intelligence" – Here's What You Need to Know

It’s 2025, and our homes are getting smarter. But are they getting kinder? LG Malaysia says yes. At its recent annual convention, the tech giant unveiled a concept that could change how we interact with our devices forever: Affectionate Intelligence.

This isn't just another buzzword. It's a fundamental shift from technology that simply follows commands to technology that understands, anticipates, and cares for your needs. Unveiled at the LG Convention 2025 in Kuala Lumpur, this new era of AI-powered home appliances promises to make life not just easier, but better.

Let's break down what LG's Affectionate Intelligence is and which new products are leading the charge.

The Dawn of Diversification: Exploring Catering and Virtual Kitchens as Powerful Solutions

The solution lies in strategic diversification, and two of the most potent avenues for restaurants are catering and virtual kitchens (also known as ghost kitchens or cloud kitchens).

Catering: This involves preparing and providing food for events, businesses, or private functions outside your restaurant premises. It allows you to serve large groups, tap into the corporate market, and build your brand presence at various occasions. You leverage your existing culinary skills and kitchen infrastructure to fulfill larger, often more profitable, orders.

Virtual Kitchens: This model involves creating one or more delivery-only brands operating out of your existing kitchen. Each brand can have a distinct cuisine, concept, and target audience, all marketed and ordered online through delivery platforms or your own system. This allows you to maximize kitchen utilization without the overheads of a separate brick-and-mortar storefront for each concept.

These aren't just add-ons; they are transformative business models that leverage your core assets – your kitchen, your staff, your recipes, and your reputation – to generate new, robust revenue streams.

Hikayat Ayam Zamrud – The Chicken Rice Shop’s Must-Try Ramadan & Raya Special!

A Ramadan & Raya Feast Like No Other

Once upon a time, Raya was a simple affair. Families gathered in modest settings, enjoying home-cooked meals under the soft glow of oil lamps. The excitement of the festive season was there, but something was missing—the vibrancy, the boldness, the flavors that truly brought the celebration to life.

Then, one year, everything changed. A humble discovery—a bag of green chilies, shimmering like emeralds—introduced a fiery new flavor into the traditional Raya spread. That one dish, infused with the boldness of sambal hijau, transformed the way people experienced the celebration. Raya was no longer just about reunion; it became a feast of colors, tastes, and shared joy.
