Yashi-no-me is not an easy restaurant to find, tucked in corner of an alley in Wisma Cosway. The name stands for coconut in Japanese but this quaint little café has little or nothing to do with the fruit. The décor is a mishmash of wooden tables, leather sofas, tinted windows, old TV set and gaudy [...]...
It’s been a crazy last few weeks for me, having travelled to London for Haig Club London, then Singapore and Taipei for work and blog purposes respectively, and then Singapore again. While I feel fortunate to be blessed with these opportunities, the change in environment and lifestyle sometimes affects...
During our first day out of Taipei, our guide Jericho took us to see the Nanya Rock Formation located at the south of Jinguashi. The view was amazing, like how you would see it in National Geographic where the eroded coastline comprises rocks of different shapes and sizes, formed by hydraulic action.
When there’s mention about coffee, I often hear the words “Three Little Birds”, a café that is reputed to serve one of the best coffees in town. Run by the folks behind Artisan Roast, this cosy spot in Sentul D7 has won the hearts of many – come on a weekend and you’ll find many [...] The post...
2015 has been filled with plenty of travels thus far, both for work and the blog. I’ve travelled a fair bit during the first quarter of the year, including Guangzhou where I had an amazing time during my stay at the Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou. The hotel is located above TaiKoo Hui, a luxury shopping mall...
I was recommended to Restoran 52 in Semenyih by a good friend who claimed this place one of the best tai chow spots around the area. She was right – our lunch was good! The restaurant is known for their curry fish head and Guinness pork ribs, which we ordered along with other dishes. Parking [...] The...
When it comes to food blogging, I take recommendations quite seriously as they help shape the content for my blog. One of my readers suggested that I try Go Thai in SS2 after I blogged about Frame Thai last month, so I did. Go Thai serves Thai street food, similar to Frame Thai but in [...] The post Go...
When I started my skincare treatment with DRx Clinic, Dr. Chiam highlighted some of my skin problems and assured me she would address them accordingly. A few months later, I was at the clinic ready to try the Dual Yellow Combi Laser, which is aimed to reduce the appearance of spots and restore glow to [...]...
When rif and I run errands in PJ State, we often eat at Kam Heong as the wantan mee is pretty good. He recently spotted a newly opened bak kut teh shop around the corner called Ho Say Klang Bak Kut Teh, which we managed to try last week. This isn’t your typical bak kut [...] The post Ho Say Klang Bak Kut...
Rama V in Jalan U-Thant sports an updated menu with new dishes to complement the old signatures, which I had the privilege of trying. It is a restaurant that holds good memories for me – weddings, events and get together with friends and loved ones were held here. Among the appetizers, Rama V Papaya Salad...
When it comes to marriage, I consider myself rather fortunate that my other half takes my wants and needs into great consideration. It dawned upon me just how much rif understands my love language (time and words) and he always tries his best to fulfill them. I remember the time he received a good job [...]...
Rendez-Vous in Bangsar Park offers traditional French cuisine without putting a hole in the wallet, an attempt to change the perception of French food being pricey. While we drive past Bangsar Park fairly often, rif and I only tried it early this year when we were out on a date night. True to their claim,...
Baked eggs can be enjoyed in various ways; some eat it with prosciutto, some with cream and cheesewhile I like mine with a little bit of spinach (and everything else). While I like to think I’ve mastered the art of making baked eggs, it’s good to explore the options available outside of home –...
A friend once told me that facial turns back the clock, similar to what face-lift does. It was never something I saw importance in despite many of my girl friends advocating the necessity. But I was soon a believer after I tried the Essential Facial Plus at DRx Clinic Medispa in Plaza Damas. While...
For someone whos born and bred in Bangsar, I thought doing a Top 10 Food to Eat in Bangsar would be easy. After all, I know most of the neighborhood like the back of my hand. Or so I thought. But what I soon realised was how much more difficult it is to come up [...] The post Top 10 Food to Eat in...
When I visited Taiwan last May, a good friend recommended that I try Charmonix should I get tired of street food. I shrugged his suggestion off initially, thinking that wasnt going to happen. He was right as I got really homesick by the 5th day and the thought of XXL fried chicken and minced...
As one of the two influencers for Haig Club Malaysia, I celebrated Haig Club London in one of the most stylish cities in the world and dined with the legend himself, David Beckham. The three days I spent in London were definitely one of the most luxurious from flight to suite, photoshoot and b-roll,...
If I could name a star dish at Interlude in TTDI, it would be the 17-hour slow cooked pork belly. Not that the other dishes weren’t good – they were in their own right but imagine this amazingly tender chunk of pork belly with buttery fat and crackly skin on a base of Rabin’s (chef [...] The post...
I love cafes that are bright and airy with plenty of window space to allow the sunlight to come through. It works well in Australia but considering how unforgivably humid our Malaysian weather can be, large windows becomes not quite a good idea. Podgy The Banker in Sri Hartamas easily makes one of my...
Banana leaf rice has become one of my favourite things to eat especially on days when I need some carbo-loving. There’s nothing quite like it – parboiled rice on fresh sheets of banana leaf, accompanied by vegetarian side dishes and drenched in assorted curries. It is spicy, packed with flavour with a...
