Kurata Japanese Fine Dining is almost like a hole in the wall, located in Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur. It requires a bit of resilience – to wander a little and make one’s way into Chatz Brasserie, where Kurata is at the end of the hallway. The restaurant is quintessentially Japanese and the selection of...
It took me a while to curate this list of Things To Do in Sydney because I’ve been trying to compile relevant snippets of my travel in 2013 as well as my recent trip. There’s plenty to see, do and eat in this vibrant city so bear with me as I bring you through the [] The post Things To Do in...
I’ve wanted to get seats for Dinner in the Sky Malaysia (DITS) but they were sold out before I could even inquire about price. Fortunately for me, Kronenbourg 1664 extended an invite to me shortly after that. Part of Kronenbourg 1664’s “Taste the French Way of Life” campaign, Dinner in the Sky gives...
By Fashion Writer: Wei Ni Lee Living in Malaysia, there are a few certainties in life. It is either raining and the hem of your long pants shoes are soaked, or it’s so hot you’re wishing you didn’t put on your long pants. A pair of shorts is a classic staple in any man’s [] The post 1...
There’s plenty of potential in Inch at Lebuh Muntri, a Southeast Asian Bar and Restaurant a hidden gem in one of George Town’s famed UNESCO World Heritage shop houses.

Coco Steamboat along Old Klang Road is always packed with people – a sign that the food must be good. Or so I thought. You’re encouraged to make a reservation, or risk waiting for a table to free up. The place is huge and sits easily 1,000 pax at once; maybe more. The place is [] The post Coco...
If I had to pick just one dish at Nana’s Green Tea, it’s the chicken kaarage salad (RM16) – a “naughty” salad of crispy fried chicken, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and egg. There’s nothing quite like the appeal of fried chicken to me and this salad version which I tried at the Pavilion outlet...
By Fashion Writer: Wei Ni Lee In our fast paced technology driven world, we rarely have the time to sit down with a book of photographs to reminisce, to laugh over the good times and to laugh even at the bad ones. A classic charm bracelet will ensure that your memories stay with you wherever [] The...
Fried chicken is something I crave for constantly – it’s almost like an antidote for any shitty moments that life hurls at me and also a form of reward for a job well done. When they are fresh from the fryer like the ones at Lim Fried Chicken in Glenmarie, every wrong becomes right. In [] The...
Kuriya Japanese Restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Centre has plenty to offer, from the freshest sashimi cuts to handmade soba. The ambiance is semi-casual – where lighting is somewhat dim and the mood, zen-like. I was invited to try a specially created 5-course menu by Chef Nakagawa San, comprising sashimi,...
When you go to Tiger Prawn Vietnamese Restaurant in Guangzhou, be prepared to join a queue of people – all eagerly waiting for a table inside this cosy spot along Beijing Road. It requires patience (and perhaps a snack in hand); a virtue that will reward you handsomely once you get into Tiger Prawn.
While searching for the tomyam noodles at Weld Quay, rif and I also chanced upon the stall that sells fried kuih bakul (nian gao) and banana fritters, along with a selection of deep fried treats. I’ve heard about this stall from my friend Ee, who swears by the awesomeness of the kuih bakul. This humble...
By Fashion Writer: Wei Ni Lee I never quite saw the fuss of football or any kind of team sports for that matter. However, when I was in Primary Secondary School I attempted to be interested in football for a period, just to see what the fuss was all about. Truly, I never quite [] The post Top 5...
Ka Bee Café in Weld Quay is said to serve one of the best tom yam noodles in Penang Island, a claim that got me excited and eager to pay them a visit. The shoplot is small and basic, but it is what they offer on the menu that matters – piping hot bowls of [] The post Ka Bee Cafe, Chew Jetty...
When I first started Bangsarbabe.com, I never expected it to grow to the size it is today. It’s been a blessing and I’m eternally grateful to rif, my fans and the people and organisations who believe in the Bangsar Babe brand. Blogging and managing my social media channels while having a full time job...
Let’s Joy Café in Kuchai Lama is a popular spot for dessert which rif and I recently checked out with a few of our eating buddies. The café occupies two shop lots and it gets pretty crowded during night time, especially weekends. I like coming here because there’s a variety to choose from – shaved...
I was never a fan of bittergourd – a vegetable my mother insisted on when I was growing up. It was often blended into my daily dose of juice and stir fried with garlic. Suffice to say, I developed a great dislike for bittergourd and would equate it to horrible things one should eat when they need...
For my birthday, rif booked us a weekend stay at The Villas at Sunway Resort Hotel Spa – a private enclave with plenty of greenery and just a short walk to Sunway Pyramid. Admittedly, I was not aware Sunway Resort Hotel Spa had such a stay option and the villa we stayed at [] The post...
Portofino in Bangsar happens to be one of the Italian restaurants I frequent – clearly because of the location and mostly because I find the ambiance ideal and food, decent. Pricing is fairly reasonable considering the location and service on most of my visits have been consistent. Almost as consistent as...
