Having visited Hong Kong twice last year, I love the variety of food, the city vibe and the shopping. Theres just so much to take in that one cannot possibly experience everything in less than 5 days. rif and I covered pretty much most of the things we wanted to try last October, and even [...]
I love a good bowl of noodles especially on a rainy day. It can be kuay teow, ramen or udon; I dont really care. What I do care about is how the noodles are prepared, because that determines the outcome of the dish. Manmaru Udon operates as a self-service udon restaurant using Japan imported...
One of the highlights of my stay in Bali last October was a visit to a hidden gem in Seminyak called Slippery Stone, an art gallery, restaurant and lounge with a view of the rice field. It was my last day on the island and I was just looking forward to a relaxing afternoon before [...]
When rif and I were in Penang a week ago, we went on an oh chien frenzy, eating as much oyster omelette as we could possibly stomach. Stumbled across the oh chien stall at the junction of Chulia Street on our last day, and I remembered Ken telling me the stall is pretty popular. Ordered [...]
rif and I went for a harbour cruise when we visited Sydney and it was one of the best experiences we had in the city. Weather was great, which allowed for good photo-taking and I got to really see Sydney for all her beauty. We were also lucky because we went for the cruise on [...]
Second chances are hard to come by these days; we’re often quick to dismiss a friend over something petty or write someone off after a bad first impression. I had an encounter with a snooty manager at Yeast last year, that I refused to try the food despite recommendations from friends. But I finally did...
rif and I spent the entire of last week travelling, starting with a Melaka day trip on Saturday to show our good friend and his fiancée around. And also stuffed them with as much food as they could possibly stomach in a day. I’ve come to accept that unless you’re an adventurous person, it’s not [...]
With Chinese New Year just around the corner, Chinese restaurants are offering their version of festive set menus to usher in the Year of The Horse. Pak Loh Chiu Chow, located in Feast Village at Starhill Gallery, boasts several set menus created by Chef Alex Au using fresh produce and ingredients imported...
Bali is an island that is both stressful and relaxing, depending on how you choose to see it. The chaos from traffic is incredibly nerve wrecking, not to mention the waiting time one spends in the taxi or car to get to a destination. And unless you’re a pro-biker, it would be wise to skip [...]
People always ask me where they can find the best steak in KL and Prime usually tops my list. It has become the only steakhouse I would recommend these days simply because I love the food and service. To be fair, rif and I dine there quite often (during anniversaries, birthdays and other special occasions)...
To those who sent in your entries for the OOTD contest, thank you for participating! Were narrowed down the entries to two, and will be contacting you in the next week to confirm things. Winners will be expected to collect their prizes at a Puma or Mori Pin store (location to be confirmed by me), [...]
Originally from Johor, Yun Lai specializes in making pau before venturing into the dim sum business. They opened their first outlet in SS15 Subang Jaya a few months ago, selling dim sum, noodles, specialty dishes and of course, pau. I got to sample a few of their bestselling pau – red bean, lotus, salted...
I love flooding my rice with curry or anything with (tasty) gravy and it’s been a habit of mine since I was a kid. Whenever I go to a nasi campur or nasi kandar stall, I’ll ask for “kuah banjir”. Over the years, I’ve become pretty good at mixing my kuah, often combining fish, mutton [...]
I often wish I had a photographer following me around to help me take pictures for my OOTDs and fashion posts. It’s been a challenge to pictures on my own and I feel a bit shy asking my colleagues to help me out. Thankfully, they have been quite accommodating hence the fairly frequent OOTD updates. [...]
Nepalese cuisine is foreign to me so when a dinner invitation from Restaurant Nepal Himalayan Cuisine in Plaza Damas came along, I accepted, without knowing what to expect. The restaurant décor is simple, with indoor dining and an al-fresco section outside. I was served a series of dishes, all new to me.
From its humble beginning of a chicken rice and porridge stall along Old Klang Road in the 1960s, Nasi Ayam Chee Meng now has a chain of chicken rice shops in Klang Valley. rif and I went to the outlet in Old Klang Road. Certified halal, this fuss-free restaurant serves chicken rice (both steamed and [...]
With so much hype on The Roof at 1 First Avenue, I knew I had to check out the restaurant – Signature – when the kitchen was more ready. I’m not sure if the kitchen is ready to take on the growing crowd at the moment but the food was really quite impressive. Probably because [...]
rif and I checked out this new ice cream parlour in Bangsar called Inside Scoop, said to serve premium ice cream with no artificial flavourings, colourings or preservatives. It was their first day of business as they were still in the midst of getting things up and running smoothly. Most of the ice cream...
For New Year’s Eve, rif and I decided to stay in and have a few close friends over. Last year, we had no mood to celebrate because we were robbed just a day before and I was super paranoid about leaving the house. It was a potluck party so I made devil curry chicken from [...]
I was told to check out The Rocks Markets in Sydney when I was there last July and I managed to do so the day before I flew back to KL. The Rocks Markets is home to more than 200 stalls along the quaint cobblestone laneways and you can find a variety of things from [...]
