KGB in TTDI has been in operation since March this year but I only popped by recently to see what they had to offer. Thing is, when theres an outlet in Bangsar, I dont feel the need to go that far for a burger fix. Surely you agree with me. 😉 But rif insisted on [] The post KGB, TTDI...
Banana leaf rice meals have become a ritual for me, ever since I’ve learnt to appreciate South Indian cuisine. There’s nothing quite like a hearty meal of parboiled rice, assorted curries, vegetables and side dishes, washed down with warm rasam. When rif suggested Curry Leaf in Damansara Uptown shortly...
Magnum Café in Mid Valley has been around since late last year; I remembered seeing massive queues whenever I went to that mall. Everyone wanted their share of Magnum treats especially since the brand introduced the concept, “Make My Magnum”, where customers can custom-make their ice cream using the...
Curry noodles are a must have for me; a staple I cant go without for more than a week. To a point I would pack a cup or two of curry instant noodles just to curb the craving when I travel. Foo Kwai Curry Mee in Ipoh is a new discovery for rif and I [] The post Foo Kwai Curry Mee, Ipoh appeared...
Indulgence Restaurant is one of the few fine dining options available in Ipoh (if not the only), housed in a colonial mansion in Ipoh. The menu features Modern European fare and seasonal offerings displayed on a chalkboard across the room. Décor is minimal and the ambiance felt like a casual café rather...
“Breakfast, brunch and everything in between” – how aptly this describes Plates at Lebuh Muntri in Penang. Plates occupy the front portion of the space that also houses Inch; due to the space and large windows, lighting during the day is terrific. Especially if you’re big on photography and...
There are plenty of things I like about The Hound Café in OUG – Cookie the friendly beagle who greets you as you enter, its understated yet cosy décor, and the coffee and cakes available. The café is dog friendly so people bring their own to interact with Cookie. The coffee is pretty decent, though...
Finding a stall that serves good Penang char kuay teow in KL is more feasible than one that serves good Penang tua pan. As a matter of fact, I wasn’t aware of a place that serves Penang tua pan until recently, when Ken took me to try Danny Penang Tua Pan in Bandar Sri Menjalara. [] The post Danny...
When we visited Taipei earlier this year, rif suggested we dine at Shin Yeh at Taipei 101, said to serve fine Taiwanese cuisine with a panoramic view of the city. Reservation is a must, especially if you want to secure the window seat. The minimum spend per person is NT1800, if you want to secure []...
Purradise Cat Cafe in TTDI is a cat friendly outlet that aims to support and improve animal welfare and their holistic wellbeing. The cats are rescued and encouraged to interact with visitors at the cafe, in hopes of finding them a good home. This cafe runs on the idea where you can come in for []...
Kurata Japanese Fine Dining is almost like a hole in the wall, located in Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur. It requires a bit of resilience – to wander a little and make one’s way into Chatz Brasserie, where Kurata is at the end of the hallway. The restaurant is quintessentially Japanese and the selection of...
I’ve wanted to get seats for Dinner in the Sky Malaysia (DITS) but they were sold out before I could even inquire about price. Fortunately for me, Kronenbourg 1664 extended an invite to me shortly after that. Part of Kronenbourg 1664’s “Taste the French Way of Life” campaign, Dinner in the Sky gives...
There’s plenty of potential in Inch at Lebuh Muntri, a Southeast Asian Bar and Restaurant a hidden gem in one of George Town’s famed UNESCO World Heritage shop houses. This expansive space begins with Plates, a lunch/brunch spot followed by the Bar and finally, Inch which is located at the back of the...
Coco Steamboat along Old Klang Road is always packed with people – a sign that the food must be good. Or so I thought. You’re encouraged to make a reservation, or risk waiting for a table to free up. The place is huge and sits easily 1,000 pax at once; maybe more. The place is [] The post Coco...
If I had to pick just one dish at Nana’s Green Tea, it’s the chicken kaarage salad (RM16) – a “naughty” salad of crispy fried chicken, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and egg. There’s nothing quite like the appeal of fried chicken to me and this salad version which I tried at the Pavilion outlet...
Fried chicken is something I crave for constantly – it’s almost like an antidote for any shitty moments that life hurls at me and also a form of reward for a job well done. When they are fresh from the fryer like the ones at Lim Fried Chicken in Glenmarie, every wrong becomes right. In [] The...
Kuriya Japanese Restaurant in Bangsar Shopping Centre has plenty to offer, from the freshest sashimi cuts to handmade soba. The ambiance is semi-casual – where lighting is somewhat dim and the mood, zen-like. I was invited to try a specially created 5-course menu by Chef Nakagawa San, comprising sashimi,...
When you go to Tiger Prawn Vietnamese Restaurant in Guangzhou, be prepared to join a queue of people – all eagerly waiting for a table inside this cosy spot along Beijing Road. It requires patience (and perhaps a snack in hand); a virtue that will reward you handsomely once you get into Tiger Prawn.
While searching for the tomyam noodles at Weld Quay, rif and I also chanced upon the stall that sells fried kuih bakul (nian gao) and banana fritters, along with a selection of deep fried treats. I’ve heard about this stall from my friend Ee, who swears by the awesomeness of the kuih bakul. This humble...
Ka Bee Café in Weld Quay is said to serve one of the best tom yam noodles in Penang Island, a claim that got me excited and eager to pay them a visit. The shoplot is small and basic, but it is what they offer on the menu that matters – piping hot bowls of [] The post Ka Bee Cafe, Chew Jetty...
