Foodtique, Bangsar
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always preferred chicken thigh to breast. Same goes to duck, goose and turkey. Mainly because the meat is smoother and there is a bit of fat around the area that adds flavour. Which was why I was rather annoyed when the waiter at Foodtique told me they [...]

Foong Lian Claypot Chicken Rice, Pudu
I spotted another claypot chicken rice restaurant in Pudu called Foong Lian when we dined at Heun Kee not too long ago. Foong Lian claims to serve claypot rice cooked over charcoal fire, a method that produces a smoky aroma and flavour. On a recent weekend, we tried the claypot chicken rice (RM15.50 –...

L’Oreal Professionnel La Maison at Shawn Cutler Bangsar
I recently attended a launch at Shawn Cutler Salon, the first L’Oreal Professionnel salon to adapt the La Maison concept: The Parisian House of Hairdressing. This concept takes on five unique values that encapsulates L’Oreal’s beliefs and dedication as the pioneer of the hairdressing industry. From...

ROYCE’ Chocolate
My first ROYCE Chocolate experience happened to be from its signature range – Nama. Bitter Nama Chocolate to be exact. It was alluringly creamy with a velvety texture and subtle aroma. For someone who tends to chew her chocolate, I didn’t with this one. Instead, I let it slowly melt in my mouth.

Satkara Spa, Casa del Rio Melaka
Satkara Spa at Casa del Rio offers body massages and facials that aim to invigorate your mind and body. And that was exactly what it did to rif and I, when we each enjoyed a 60-minute signature massage using essential oils from Tanamera. Upon arriving, we were given a form to fill out; standard spa [...]

Cheras Fish Head Noodle, Old Klang Road
My parents and I have very different taste when it comes to fish head noodle. They like theirs sans milk while I love mine as milky as possible, with extra tomatoes and salted vegetables. I like my fish fried while they want it poached. Good thing the noodles come in individual servings – because I [...]

Strato at Troika Sky Dining, Kuala Lumpur
I’ve been searching for a good place to take rif for his birthday dinner last month and it wasn’t an easy thought process. For starters, he’s not big on fine dining so quite a few restaurants were out of the list. I was pretty set on taking him to a restaurant in Changkat, but an [...]

You can’t have a rainbow without a little rain…
This past two weeks has been quite productive (and hectic) for me. I think I’m pretty much on track with regards to the blog and things are starting to pick up at work. Of course there’s still the occasional work stress but that’s expected. Haven’t had time to catch up with friends the way I [...]

Pudu Hakka Mee
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Pudu hakka mee and even rif insists it’s the best version he’s had so far. This stall has been around for more than eight decades, serving handmade hakka noodles to regulars. The place gets crowded during lunch time so expect to share a table with strangers. The...

Chambers Bar and Grill, Hilton Kuala Lumpur
Chambers Bar and Grill at Hilton Kuala Lumpur serves mainly beef, aged in a special Himalayan salt-tile dry-ageing cabinet and prepared “a la minute” over lava stone, charcoal or “robatayaki” style. I’ve heard quite a bit about this new restaurant; a venue meat lovers call paradise. I was there to...

Macau Pork Chop Bun
Like the Portuguese egg tart, another item to try in Macau is the pork chop bun from Tai Lei Loi Kee (although you can now get one in KL). Walking along the busy streets of Macau, I spotted throngs of people with a pork chop bun in their hand. So I gave it a try. [...]

Rock Bar Bali
I’ve been itching to check out Rock Bar for a while, and managed to squeeze time to do so when I was in Bali last month. The bar sits on natural rocks above the Indian Ocean and boasts a stunning view of the sunset and horizon. It’s best to call ahead and make a reservation. [...]

Top Brew Coffee Bar, Plaza Damas
Ever since I discovered my favourite coffee places, I’ve been quite disconnected with the growing coffee scene in Kuala Lumpur. Only recently did I realise, it has grown significantly. The last year or so saw the rise of new cafes and coffee bars where coffee making is regarded as a high form of craft.

River Grill, Casa del Rio Melaka
The River Grill is one of the four FB outlets at Casa del Rio Melaka, and offers guests a cosy dining experience with grilled seafood, meats and classic favourites on the menu. Service was friendly and attentive, but some need more training to converse with international guests better. We started with...

Watermelon Seeds
During one of our grocery shopping stints, rif insisted on buying this packet of watermelon seeds so he can start a watermelon patch on our apartment balcony. Whatever la, since he’s super into gardens and green stufflike his mum. Every morning before heading to work, he would water all the plants...

Portuguese Egg Tart from Lord Stow’s Koi Kee, Macau
I went on an egg tart frenzy when we were in Macau last month. My parents were on a biscuit hunt at Koi Kee, but I was instead drawn to the glass display of piping hot egg tarts at the shop’s front. Plus, you wouldn’t want to step into Koi Kee for biscuits on a [...]

November Updates
November has been a pretty crazy month so far. I’m hoping things will slow down (at work) so I have more time to focus on the blog and my other priorities. There are some personal goals I have yet to accomplish this year and am hoping to do so by year end. Fingers crossed. rif [...]

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ Restaurant, Publika
I always notice the smoke first when I step into a Korean barbeque restaurant. Despite the rows of exhaust fans on top, you always end up smelling like barbequed meat when you leave. When I heard Gyu-Kaku – a popular Japanese BBQ chain – in Publika offers diners a sizzling good experience minus the...

Sichuan Food at Kedai Makanan Minuman TKS
My first experience Sichuan food experience (ironically in Beijing) was a tongue-numbing one especially since I had it during summer. Not a wise move, that one. Sichuan cuisine is distinguished by spicy, oil-based sauces and predominately, Sichuan peppercorn. The peppercorns are bitter, spicy and shockingly...

Happier than I ever dreamed I could be!
Sometimes when we talk about our wedding, rif would mention about the time I hid in the walk-in wardrobe of our bridal suite in between rehearsal because I havent finished writing my wedding vows. While he spent a lot of time working on his. But I generally work better under pressure and I like...
