Kafe Lin’s, Melaka
Nyonya food is a common thing at my in-laws, where mum in-law would dish out delicious Peranakan dishes she learnt from her mother and mother in-law. I’ve eaten at several Nyonya restaurants and feel she makes most of the dishes better. That said, my father in-law told me about Kafe Lin’s in Melaka,...

500,000 Facebook Fans

Mandarin Grill, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur
What do you enjoy eating when you’re feeling blue? There are many items I crave when things don’t go my way, including a nice big slab of ribeye – wagyu preferably. That was exactly what I got when I checked out the new Mandarin Grill menu at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur. Mandarin Grill has...

Hiong Kong Restaurant, Pudu Plaza
When a restaurant doesn’t have a fixed menu and requires three days of advance order so that the chef can prepare the dishes accordingly, one would expect the meal to be a good. At least that was what expected when I went to Hiong Kong Restaurant in Pudu Plaza, a restaurant located at the lower []...

Bangsar Babe x Hermès Faubourg Manchette
I recently collaborated with Hermès Watch Boutique in Starhill Gallery, featuring one of their latest timepieces Faubourg Manchette. This timepiece was launched at the end of 2015, an all leatherclad cuff watch (Manchette) that fits like a second skin, boasting the iconic Hermès saddle stitching...

Sentul Ah Yap Hokkien Mee, Jalan Sentul
With several branches around Klang Valley, Sentul Ah Yap Hokkien Mee is certainly more accessible but not without the compromise of quality – I’ve had not so stellar experiences in some of the KL and PJ outlets. So rif and I decided to head to the original setup in Jalan Sentul to see if the []...

Madame Waffle
I’ve loved eating waffles for as long as I can remember; my first being waffles with ice cream at a popular fast food joint that serves root beer. I thought all waffles taste like that until I tried Belgian waffles during my student days in the UK. The latter was thinner and slightly denser with []...

It wasn’t easy getting a table at the esteemed Dinner by Heston Blumenthal in Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park London, one of the world’s most celebrated restaurants. The menu is modern, inspired by the history of The Royal Courts of Britain dated back to the 13th century, and the essence captured in an...

EaThai Food, Old Klang Road
I stumbled upon EaThai Food when I was waiting for my pan mee dinner not too long ago – a simple setup that occupies half a shop lot next to Wai Kei Restaurant. The menu is relatively extensive but note that not all items are available. On one night, we were told they had no mangoes [] The post...

Top Catch Fisheries, Taman OUG
You know it’s time to indulge in sashimi when you start dreaming of it twice in a week. For some bizarre reason I’ve been having this insatiable craving that no amount of sashimi moriawase at Japanese restaurants would suffice without burning a hole in my wallet. So I turned to Top Catch Fisheries in...

Restoran Bisik Bisik, Melaka
Over the weekend in Melaka, rif and I checked out this gem of a place called Restoran Bisik Bisik, said to serve a mean mee bandung with udang galah (fresh water prawn). The sheer mention of udang galah alone makes me excited so it was a food stop I could not miss. Restoran Bisik Bisik [] The post...

Kavitha’s Curry House, Petaling Jaya
I was aching for banana leaf rice and when both my choices (Sri Ganapathi Mess and Acha Curry House) weren’t open, I tried Kavitha’s Curry House in Petaling Garden instead. Like any other banana leaf rice establishment, Kavitha’s offer a selection of fried items to go with your rice – chicken, fish,...

Harbour Steamboat, Sri Petaling
Harbour Steamboat in Sri Petaling was recommended to me by a good friend whom I also label as a steamboat snob – one who would only go for handmade meatballs and soup base that is MSG free. He told me about Harbour Steamboat over dinner at his crib, where the handmade seafood and meat balls [] The...

Edo Ichi, Bangsar South
Edo Ichi in Bangsar South looks just like any other chain Japanese restaurants in town – I believe they have an outlet in Publika but the one at Nexus Bangsar South is easier for me to access for obvious reasons. The menu is extensive, with set meals and bento boxes that are pretty good value []...

Of tapered pants and the colour blue
It’s been almost half a year since I left the corporate world and for the longest time, I was unable to adapt back to agency life where outfits are more casual and colours are welcomed. That said, some things are no longer the same as I’ve gotten accustomed to loose silhouettes, flowy skirts and tapered...

B Best Restaurant, SS4 Petaling Jaya
I’ve always had a preference for bolder flavours so anything spicy, tangy and creamy rocks my boat. My mother however, enjoyed cleaner flavours so steamed items and “ching” soups were her thing. If she were still alive, I would surely take her to B Best Restaurant in SS4; a noodle spot I visited...

SRK Noodle House, Section 14 Petaling Jaya
I’ve been craving red rice wine chicken soup of late; the one that is typically available in many Hock Chew households. When rif told me he spotted Foochow red wine mee suah chicken soup at SRK Noodle House in Section 14, I went there immediately that weekend. A good red rice wine soup must be []...
