We live in a world that places great emphasis on coffee; from social appeal right down to its craftsmanship. Many of us seek out the best places for a satisfying cup of coffee and some seek the means to making a satisfactory cuppa at the comfort of their own home. In the past, the art [] The post...
Mid-Autumn Festival is a big occasion in Malaysia, Singapore and China where hotels and brands compete to showcase their mooncake packaging design and interesting flavours. It is that time of the year where people flock promotion booths placing mooncake orders for gifts and personal consumption. I’ve had...
Tokyo is one of my favourite cities to visit – from the abundance of good food, shopping options and local attractions. If you ask me about my must-eats in Tokyo, I’d definitely say monjayaki! Monjayaki is known as another version of okonomiyaki, but with different fillings. “Monja Street” in...
Fried chicken takes me to a happy place — a childhood favourite that I often indulged in at my grandma’s. The aroma of batter as it dips into bubbling hot oil, the juicy texture of the chicken and the seasoning, all coming together as one. I like it so much, friends joke that I “will [] The...
Weekend brunching is a pretty big deal for us KL-ites; a time to get together with family and friends, or to nurse a hangover from the night before. And brunch is usually divided into two categories – Western brunching of eggs, bacon and coffee, or Chinese brunching of dim sum and tea. I was pretty...
As part of the Gastronomic Journey 2.0 campaign, I’ve been exploring the FB offerings at Avenue K Shopping Mall to find ten food outlets you should explore when you’re in this shopping mall. It’s been a fun experience going around the mall and trying highlight dishes from respective outlets. I...
As a foodie, I find it challenging to eat cleaner after a yoga session – all the more when the yoga centre is right smack in the middle of Desa Sri Hartamas’ food haven. Sometimes in my savasana, I can literally hear meat sizzles from the Yakiniku place next door. And as I walk towards [] The...
Nothing unites us Malaysians more than food – we’re constantly talking about what to eat, where to eat and whom to eat with. From local delights to global cuisine, KL is an attraction for foodies wanting to satisfy their cravings. With over 40 food establishments under one roof, Avenue K celebrates the...
Korean fried chicken is one of the most indulgent things to eat in my opinion – crisp, juicy and (sometimes) saucy, you’ll want more. The best part about Korean fried chicken is that they are fried twice, sometimes thrice so it’s takes the fried bird to a whole new level. When I heard about Chicken...
I’ve been catching up on a lot of Netflix during my confinement month – mostly watching Korean dramas and drooling over the amount of soju and grilled meats involved. Jien probably sensed a Korean food craving in me, hence his choice of dinner venue; Apple Samgyupsal in Taman Desa. As the same suggests,...
My in-laws are adventurous when it comes to food – they are constantly exploring new places to eat, much more than Jien and I do these days. In a way, they have become the food radar for this blog; updating me on their new discovery weekly. Lubuk Bangku in Bangsar is one of those places [] The post...
Thai food is something Jien and I have most in common with, among the rest of our favourite cuisines. Flavours are exciting and textures are amazing, which leaves us satisfied more often than not. We’ve heard good things about Baan Rao in Petaling Jaya, said to serve hearty Thai food that’s not a pain...
My reader Roland recommended Kin San Kichi in Desa Sri Hartamas to me, citing it as his go-to place for affordable Japanese food for many years. I’ve walked past this place many times on my way to yoga class, but never once thought of stepping in to explore until the recommendation came about. Kin San...
To our daughter, We have finally made it to the 40-week mark and it has been an incredible yet challenging journey thus far. I never knew my heart could accommodate so much love until you came along and showed me it’s possible. While I tried my best to keep you safe and nurtured all these [] The...
“We don’t fusion the dish. We adopt the techniques”. That was what Chef Kim shared when Jien and I popped by Sitka Restaurant in Damansara Heights for a casual Sunday dinner. This cosy space is where one can find dishes of traditional ingredients and fresh produce, prepared using modern techniques. On...
Thai cuisine is one of the best things to eat in my opinion; the myriad of flavours and textures one enjoys in a bite and the many colours one finds on a plate. Suffice to say, Thai cuisine remains one of my favourites to eat and you’ll find me agreeing to a Thai meal quite [] The post Mekong Thai...
As a kid, I thought Sunrise serve “the best duck in the whole wide world” because it was the only roast duck my dad would eat but the minute I sank my teeth into the roast duck from Four Season in Bayswater, my world changed. Since then, I’ve been on a lookout for good roast [] The post BBQ...
Beauty writer: Angeline Tan I believe nothing empowers a woman more than putting on lipstick. It is your ammunition, and whenever you need, a quick wipe of it on the lips will have you looking ready to conquer the world. Any beginner to makeup always starts with lipstick, because it’s easy and effortless!
A bowl of well-made pork noodles is forthright comforting, especially when the broth is done well. When it comes to noodle preference, I always opt for hor fun (kuay teow) for that slippery texture and mild-tasting nature – which doesn’t alter the flavour of the soup. Ah Or Pork Noodles in Sunway...
There are many versions of char kuay teow around – some wet-ish, some spicier and some drier, depending on who’s behind the wok. In Klang Valley, I tend to favour the stall in Section 17 but a good friend of mine insisted I give Lorong Selamat Char Kuay Teow in USJ 14 a try. The [] The post...
