Burps Giggles, Ipoh
Ipoh is becoming one of my favourite spots to visit over the long weekend. It is (still) less congested compared to Melaka and Penang, but still bustling with old school charms and cafés. While Penang remains my favourite spot for good hawker food, I prefer the ambiance in Ipoh – less hectic. rif and I...

Centro W Salon, The Gardens Mid Valley
I’ve had my fair share of bad hair as I was growing up – the mangkuk (bowl) cut, the boy cut and once, a maggi mee perm. That perm was one of the worst hair decisions I’ve made and it was a trend 10 years ago. And then I got a really bad bob cut [...]

Yong Tau Fu at Yap Hup Kee, Pudu
I vaguely remember eating the yong tau fu in Pudu – my first time was probably 8 years ago, before I started this blog. And before I developed a passion for food. But I was never lucky with this outlet; rif and I went there three times, only to find it closed on two accounts [...]

KariGuys, Bangsar
Sempalit curry chicken is new to me it was only a few weeks ago that I heard about it from my in-laws and a colleague of rif, who comes from Raub. According to them, the curry chicken from that town is laden with spices and worth the trip. When the owner of this famous [...]

Melanie was 4 months old when my brother brought her back to our family home. That was the middle of 2009 and he found her amidst a construction area almost mulled by a dog. Her brother cat did not survive but my brother managed to save her. He took her back to his campus and [...]

Tiffin Lunch at Casa del Rio Melaka
rif used to tell me what a great cook his mum is when we were dating. He would go on about how his mum makes really good Nyonya laksa, ayam buah keluak and pongteh, and that her popiah parties are legendary. They really are and everything is made from scratch in his household. I was [...]

Toby
For the past 8 years, I’ve had two cats in the family home. We started with Adrianna and then Melanie. When Adrianna passed away, my parents missed her so much that they got Miko, a kitten version of Adrianna. And then we got Teddy in May last year, making the household pet experience an interesting [...]

Thaitanic Boat Noodle, The Scott Garden
I vaguely remember eating boat noodles in Bangkok; a bowl of kuay teow in beefy broth, beef slices and meatballs. But I do remember it being larger than the ones that are now making waves in Klang Valley. rif and I stumbled upon a new boat noodle place called Thaitanic in Scott Garden and decided [...]

China House, Penang
China House in Penang stretches between Beach and Victoria Street – a clever play of heritage chic, with seasoned concrete floors, plastered walls and exposed beams. It is a popular spot in town, serving all-day breakfasts, assorted cakes and pastries, coffee and alcoholic beverages. Basically everything...

Nasi Kandar Raffe, Penang
I used to be impartial towards nasi kandar, a meal of steamed rice with curries and side dishes that originated from Penang. That was more than 10 years ago when my dad did the mixing of curries. I love my old man, but he isn’t the best curry mixer I know, much to his dismay. [...]

Salero Negori, Amcorp Mall
Since my work travels to Jakarta, I’ve been on a lookout for good Nasi Padang in Klang Valley. I like the idea of having many small plates of food lined up in front of you as this gives me a visual feast, before I tuck into the food. Unfortunately, nasi padang isn’t sold this way [...]

32 at the Mansion, Penang
Penang is known for its street food offerings but every now and then, rif and I would choose to dine at restaurants with a nicer ambiance. We recently tried 32 at the Mansion, a swanky new fine-dining restaurant along Jalan Sultan Ahmad Shah in Penang. Reservations would be wise if youre planning to...

Work musings and about being Malaysian…
Ive been doing a fair bit of travel for work. Not every week but often enough to miss home and miss hanging out with my loved ones. Leisurely coffee sessions are hard to come by and my days are spent dealing with corporate egos. Doing what I do allows me to see the kind of [...]

Jamu Bar, Pangkor Laut Resort
During work trips, meals are either a stressful or hurriedly affair. Nothing like those nice long lunches I dream of. You go the restaurant, you order really good food and you get to the crux of things – dollar and cents. At breakfast, I usually don’t have time to finish my coffee let alone head [...]

Kedai Makanan Rasa Lain, Ipoh
There are three restaurants in Ipoh that crack me up – Rasa Lain, Different Taste and Same Taste. Especially the first two names. It’s like finding out someone has a blog called “Perempuan Bangsar” hahaha! But these three restaurants in Bercham are known for their claypot glass noodles; who started...

The Humble Pie Co., Section 17 Petaling Jaya
Some people spend their life climbing the career ladder and when they get there, they realise it’s not what they wanted all along. I’m one of those few with a diversified career portfolio and industry but always within the line of communications, branding, marketing and advertising. It’s what I’m...

Kee’s Creampuff: New Savoury Series
I’ve always been a fan of creampuff – a light pastry casing with creamy custard filling. This has been a personal favourite and I would treat myself to a piece or two whenever possible. Kee’s Creampuff because a regular spot since they opened another outlet in Bangsar Baru; much easier for me to...

Nasi Lemak Royale, Ampang
Over the Merdeka weekend, rif and I went on a food hunt in search of this highly recommended Nasi Lemak Royale which originated from Kedah. Our friend Loo claimed it was sedap gilerrr and that the rice was insanely addictive. The stall is located at the food court in Tiara Duta Condominium in...

Ohla Tapas Cocktails, The Intermark
I don’t believe in pleasing people. It is a trait that is both good and bad about me. Good because I don’t have to change myself to conform to society and bad because, in my line of work, you need to kiss ass almost every day. It doesn’t matter if you’re good at what you [...]
