When my friend Farrell told me about this awesome tai chow near his place, he made me promise never to reveal the exact location should I choose to blog about it. Only then, he showed me the wayto good Chinese food. It isn’t easy to find this place – a small wooden shop in an [...]
I learnt not to ask for pandan chicken at Erawan Thai during my first visit to this cosy hideaway in Kota Damansara. Grandaunt took my parents and I here for dinner, and my dad’s request for pandan chicken got him the reply, “We don’t do pandan chicken here. It’s so ordinary.” Erawan however,...
The last time my parents took me to Hong Kong, I was 2 and didn’t remember a thing. According to mum, she had to carry me everywhere because back then, they didn’t make foldable strollers and mine didn’t fit in the cabin. Don’t know how she managed to carry a chubby toddler around the city [...]
At The Datai Langkawi, rif and I enjoyed a delicious 5-course dinner at Beach Club Restaurant with a gorgeous view of the Andaman sea. That’s the beauty of dining al-fresco at The Beach Club, where the restaurant is adjacent to the beachfront and pool. Dinner started with the Oxtail Bullion, a stew of...
My current wardrobe mainly stores clothes from Puma, Azorias, Peep Boutique and Mori Pin – key fashion sponsors for Bangsar Babe. I’m been so blessed to get a range of clothes from each brand on a monthly basis, and there’s really no need for me to go shopping. The amount of footwear I get from [...]
I had the opportunity to check out the new menu at Sirocco Italian Restaurant when I stayed in Holiday Inn Melaka in July this year. The new menu includes a selection of Mediterranean fare and I was pretty impressed with what we tried that night. Sirocco boasts a wood fire oven and an open kitchen [...]
Now that I have my own kitchen, I get to cook the things I want without getting in the way of our mothers. But I haven’t been cooking as often as I would like to. Because these days, I only get home from work around 8.30pm. At best, I would make quick meals of grilled [...]
Today marks the second year of us being legally married. It’s been a challenging two years as husband and wife – we’ve gone through a fair bit of ups and downs, and more downs this year. I guess I now know the “four sayings of love” better than I used to. Suan, Ku, La, Tian [...]
These days, I find it difficult to juggle with work, blog and our new home as all requires time and effort. There’s only so much I can stomach without wanting to scream my lungs out. Often, it is work that gets under my skin which then affects the blog because I usually dont have the [...]
I first tried Chef Nicolas Isnard’s food in 2011 and found the dining experience to be insightful and memorable. This one-Michelin-star chef was at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur last week to present some of his signature dishes with highlights of his culinary philosophy – “epicurean approach, respect...
Last week, a guy got smacked by his partner for looking at me. And I got the evil eye from a neighbour for smiling at her other half. rif said it was a female thing. What female thing? We dont have a thing what are you talking about?! Then yesterday, one of our female neighbours [...]
As a Neubodi trendsetter, I get to enjoy their range of products and so far, the results have been great. My breasts are noticeably fuller and firmer, and more lifted too. Problem is, I can’t fit into some my work shirts without having to safety pin the centre. Hahaha! I started wearing Neubodi in March...
rif and I were in JB recently and while searching for places to eat, I came across a recommendation from Johor Kakis blog – Char Kuay Teow at Taman Sri Tebrau Hawker Centre. The food court is huge and houses close to 100 stall. The char kuay teow in mention comes from Stall 61, manned [...]
Breakfast is one meal I don’t have the luxury of doing these days. On workdays, I can’t afford to sit down for one (hence it’s just coffee) so weekend brunch is something I look forward to. The BIG Breakfast (RM29) at Plan B comes with two eggs (any style), beef bacon, hash brown, jumbo bratwurst, [...]
Restaurants like “F” in Bangsar are what keeps me interested and I’d usually know that after the main course or dessert. I like uncomplicated dishes and relaxed dining – where I can reach out to my partner’s plate and sneak a bite or two. F by Buffalo Kitchen in Bangsar offers that freedom, and...
I had a few chats with headhunters regarding potential jobs I could consider and for some weird reason, they are under the impression I should be in a ‘fun’ industry. Despite me telling them the reason I went into corporate was because a ‘fun’ job doesn’t always pay the bills. Yes, agency life was...
At NOSH, one has dessert. And then dessert. And more dessert. This cosy little spot in Bangsar is dedicated to making decadent sweets pretty enough to entice those on a diet. In view of Autumn/Winter (September to November 2013), NOSH has prepared 10 new desserts that features Asian and Western touches in...
I’ve taken a liking to afternoon tea in the past year or so and reckon it started from my experience at Cameron Highlands Resort. Then there’s the amazing afternoon tea at St Regis Bali that I’m still drooling about. Almost each hotel has its special, so it depends on which...
