By Fashion Writer: Wei Ni Lee Jumping onboard the Star Wars craze! I personally have always been a fan of the Dark Side, perhaps it’s because I like to think of myself as darker and edgier than I really am. #DarkSideGoals This festive season I was really blessed to go on a 14-day trip to [] The...
Kame Sushi in Desa Sri Hartamas is small yet cosy – a popular dining venue for Japanese expats and a non-menu policy (omakase). Forget the standard Japanese restaurant menu, as what you eat at Kame depends on what the chef (Mizukami Masahiro) feels like serving on that day. Call it a dining adventure, and...
Ipoh has been one of my favourite pitstops to make when Im on the way to Penang, as theres quite a bit to eat and see in this bustling town. My regular spots include Pasir Pinjis yong tau fu, Ipoh white coffee at Sun Yin Loong and claypot glass noodles at Rasa Lain. We recently tried...
My mother in-law is an avid Coca-Cola fan, evident from her mind-boggling collection of collectibles that she started more than 30 years ago. I was first introduced to her growing collection 10 years ago 8 years ago when rif took me home to meet her for the first time. Ever since, her Coca-Cola collection...
Favola at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur hasn’t received the recognition it deserves, despite being around for a good 5 years or more. It is one of the better Italian restaurants by hotel standards and one that I frequented for hearty seafood pasta and fresh bread rolls, which my late mother enjoyed. With Chef...
Good nasi lemak isn’t hard to come by if you’re in Malaysia – there are plenty of options around, from posh versions in shopping malls and hotels, to the simpler ones in the form of packets.

I’ve heard good things (and seen the photos) about Trick Eye Museum, both in Korea and Singapore, so when the opportunity came to visit Trick Eye Museum Singapore, I jumped at it. They recently renewed some of the artworks and introduced new themed zones to keep the experience interesting. The museum...
By fashion writer: Wei Ni Lee After all of Christmas New Year’s hustle and bustle, there ain’t no time to rest for those who celebrate the Lunar New Year. It’s a huge red affair with delicious food and a festive get together of all your family members you haven’t seen in forever! To help...
I had the liberty of having domestic help since I was a toddler, so housekeeping doesn’t come naturally to me. Even until today when I’m no longer living with my parents, I find it very, very hard to keep my home tidy because truth be told, there was always a “kakak” to do the cleaning [] The...
Boran Thai Street Food in Seapark is quite a gem – a fuss free setup that allows one to tuck into hearty Thai food that is just as unpretentious at the ambiance. Street food has always been a favourite of rif and I, and Boran comes highly recommended as he’s been there with his colleagues. [] The...
When I heard the next Haig Club event was to be in Shanghai, I was really excited to see what they have in store for us. Both London and Miami were amazing and different, and I’m certain Shanghai will be an element of its own. With everything booked and sorted by Haig Club, all I [] The post...
Chinese New Year is an occasion I look forward to every year ever since I was a child. That was because I get to collect red packets from my relatives and it was one of that time of the year where I get to be a rascal and not get punished for it too much.

When one is in Penang, the Penang Road Famous TeoChew Chendul is a must-have especially in our super hot weather. It is a business that not only sustained itself over the years, but has grown to become of the most sought after cendol brands in Malaysia. So much so that the queue at the original []...
Pool villas make one of my most memorable hotel stays a luxury that rif and I indulge in every now and then. We would usually book them for birthdays and anniversaries; a form of relaxation and detachment from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. The Westin Siray Bay Resort Spa Phuket...
Sin Chua Kee in Kuchai has been around for quite some time, and is one of the places I’ve been meaning to pay a visit to. Especially since I take Mori (formerly Toby) to the vet nearby. It wasn’t until last week that rif and I managed to try this, when his relatives were in [] The post Sin Chua...

Pearl in the Grove is located in the middle of the kumquat groves in Dade City – a quaint and cosy spot I visited with my dear Uncle Lanney, who lived not too far away. It never crossed my mind that the in the middle of a farm county lies such a gem and possibly [] The post Pearl in the Grove,...
Like char kuay teow, one of my must-have items in Penang is asam laksa, and only the one from Air Itam market. It’s been a regular stop for both rif and myself, and the only asam laksa the fussy boy would ever eat. When we found out our favourite asam laksa spot has opened an [] The post Penang...
