I heard a great deal about Shake Shack in the U.S. – a burger chain that started from a pushcart in Madison Square Park about 10 years ago. It has since grown leaps and bounds, with several branches overseas. Unfortunately for us, Shake Shack isn’t in Malaysian shores. Jien and I went to the one...
Yakitori Dining Fukuda in Desa Sri Hartamas has plenty of potential – from the amiable floor staff to skilled chefs churning out sticks and sticks of grilled meats, seafood and vegetables. Yaki means broil, and tori means bird, but the general term of yakitori covers anything skewered and grilled. And...
Kuala Lumpur has plenty to offer, from places to eat, sights to see and cultures to experience. I recently participated in Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur’s #1HourGem, which allows guest to document their vacation and share their experiences on social media – while tagging the hotel with #1HourGem. Our...
Shah Alam isn’t a place I tend to venture into, unless I happen to have a meeting in the area. It was a friend who suggested Boss Curry House for lunch last weekend, as I had an engagement to attend to in the vicinity. Boss Curry House specialises in biryani and banana leaf rice – both [] The...
Yesterday, I found myself in a situation I didn’t like – a crossroad between what I wanted to achieve vs how I was conditioned throughout my career. I have forgotten what it was like to be carefree and how to live the moment. Certain life situations (including work) have made me uptight, in ways I...
I ate the best burger of my life in New York City last February – when Jien and I were in the Big Apple. We’re both huge burger fans (he more than I) and would do almost anything for a good burger. Five Napkin Burger came highly recommended by a friend who painted to us [] The post Five Napkin...
Sang Nyuk Mee (生肉面 in Chinese) is a Sabah specialty – essentially pork noodles but prepared the Sabahan way. While there are several outlets in Klang Valley that offers Sang Nyuk Mee, I only tried it when I visited Tawau in October last year. We went to Kedai Kopi Hing Lee, which is reputed to...
Sichuan cuisine happens to be one of my favourite cuisines when it comes to Chinese food – there’s something about the kick from peppercorn and dried chilli that keeps me excited and longing more. Several Sichuan restaurants have open in Kuchai Lama over the past few weeks and Restoran Sichuan Cuisine...
My siblings and I spent a lot of my childhood along Jalan Bangkung – where my parents would take us to the park nearby to cycle and rollerblade. The Bangkung Row used to be office lots before it became an FB hub, and has become one of my go-to places for a good night out. [] The post Lucky Bo,...
There are times when simple food makes a big difference – like a plate of fried rice with sunny side up. Fuss-free but hits the spot. Uncle Soon Fried Rice in SS15 Subang Jaya serves a pretty decent version and is said to command a long queue during lunch hour on weekdays. I went there [] The post...
For my last travel of 2016, I had the pleasure of visiting Ehime Prefecture – located in the northwestern part of Shikoku. Unlike larger cities like Tokyo, Ehime has its own charm and one I’ve got to experience during my short stint there. I tried specialty dishes from this prefecture, harvested fruits...
As 2016 comes to an end, Jien and I reflected on the past 12 months – the accomplishments and “growing pains” we’ve had to endure. He’s always been the more positive one, choosing to look at the glass half full whenever the going gets tough. I guess that’s how we complement one another in many...
Restoran 88 in Kuchai Lama has a decent range of tai chow dishes – a reliable spot when I’m craving Chinese cooking. The restaurant is spacious and décor, fuss-free. Go there for the food, not quite the ambiance and you’ll be fine. I’ve dined there a few times and found the food to be quite...
The salted egg yolk cronut is probably the most ordered item at Dotty’s in Taman Tun Dr Ismail – a sinful treat created by the recent salted egg yolk hype. To get a place at Dotty’s, you either have to go in early or queue for the next available table to be vacant. On both [] The post...
I’ve always had this impression that stylish winter apparel won’t keep you warm – and often, I was right. The previous winter jackets I own were from fashion labels, rather than a winter wear label. Needless to say, I was constantly freezing and running into cafés and department stores to keep warm.
I heard about Rak Somtam from some friends, who claim their stewed pork leg is worth checking out. This Thai restaurant in Kota Damansara is seemingly popular, judging from the full house when we visited on a Saturday evening. If you’re planning to go, I suggest calling ahead to reserve a table. As we...
Accessorizing is a lot of fun and a great way to change up an outfit; an expression of your personal style. 😉 For this fashion feature, I played around with watches, bangles and bracelets to add a pop of colour to my outfits. With accessories, you can allow yourself to get creative and express...
Sichuan food is something I crave every once in a while; often when I’ve had a rough day. For some reason, eating tongue-numbing dishes shifts my focus from the problems at hand. Cu Cha Dan Fan in Section 14 PJ serves Sichuan cuisine and since my usual spot in Jalan Alor has hiked up their [] The...
rif and I have been working on this little project for more than a year now, going around Klang Valley is search of the best Hokkien Mee. To date, we’ve checked out close to 40 places to come up with this Top 10 list. We also went to the extent of revisiting several outlets to [] The post Top 10...
Basil Pasta House in Kuchai Lama isn’t difficult to miss – with green fluorescent signage and large font, and décor that doesn’t quite scream Italian. But it’s always a full house, day and night. Friends have said good things about the place, citing “good value” and “hearty portions” as to...
