Chocolates and desserts have always been Jien’s thing – he has a weaker spot for sweet treats compared to me. That’s also why our fridge at home is stocked with chocolates from our trips abroad. When we did BB10 last November, it was apt to have a dessert table with chocolates as a feature and...
Bangsar is a popular spot when it comes to café-hopping because most cafes are located along the same street or at the very most, a short drive from each other. From hipster cafes to pretty- looking ones, here are five Instagram-worthy cafes I recently checked out in my hood. Tiny Temptress Tiny Temptress...
Thong Kee Coffee Shop in Seapark PJ has plenty to offer in terms of variety – this kopitiam that originated from Bentong serves good toasts and coffee/tea, which complements the other offerings from the stalls available. They are quite busy in the morning so it’s best to get there before 9am if you want...
Sourdough pizza is my favourite kind of pizza – the tangy allure of sourdough bread and rustic touch of thick-rimmed pizza base with crispy air-pockets and slightly charred edges. It’s also a favourite of Jien as we both enjoy the chew and flavour the sourdough bread yields, just like the ones at Kenny...
RM12.90 can buy you a meal at many fast food restaurants and most hawker spots, but at OMB Noodle Bar in Cheras, RM12.90 can buy you two bowls of noodles in your choice of flavour. OMB stands for One More Bowl, and offers the concept of two bowls of noodles for the price of one. [] The post OMB...
The café scene in JB is more developed that I expected it to be with a lot of the customer base coming from our neighbouring country. When Jien and I were in the city a couple of months back, we checked out JWC (short for Just Want Coffee), The Factory 30 – said to be [] The post JWC The Factory...
I was asked to expect the uncommon at Common Man Coffee Roasters in TTDI, when I accepted their invitation to sample their High Tea Set for two recently. I’ve been a fan of their place in Singapore and when CMCR opened in KL almost a year ago, I was excited. They are known for their [] The post...
IT Roo Café in Johor Bahru claims to serve the best chicken chop in town – and judging from the crowd and queue when I paid them a visit, that claim must have been true. Either that, or it’s the hype. Jien and I got ourselves a table inside IT Roo, where space is a [] The post IT Roo Cafe, Johor...
The interior of Fancy Breakfast Club reminds me of what youd find on a kinfolk magazine – minimal yet put together, with an etched feature wall to add to the dining ambiance. Jien and I popped by for brunch after my yoga class, after hearing about the breakfast club’s version 3.0 from friends.
Ipoh is one of my favourite towns to visit whenever I head up north – the white coffee is good and you get plenty of food if you know your way around. Chang Jiang White Coffee was a recommendation from one of my readers when I did an Instagram story about my regular white coffee [] The post Chang...

It’s rare to find a baker who’s so passionate and confident about his daily bakes, yet humble enough to welcome constructive feedback so he can do better the next time. That was my impression of Juwanda Hashim when I visited The Fabulous Baker Boy in Singapore two weeks back. I met with my friends over...
I’ve heard a lot about Merchant’s Lane in Petaling Street – a café that occupies a spot along the row of shops/hostels in Jalan Petaling. Parking can be quite difficult to find unless you don’t mind paying RM15 for an open-air parking lot with pebbled surface; most people do that. Merchant’s Lane...
As someone who takes food seriously, I tend to approach “Instagram-worthy” places with caution. That’s because not all that looks amazing on an Instagram feed translates the same way on the palate. More often than not, I’m right. Depending on your purpose of dining, you’ll either enjoy Jibby ...
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...
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...
Chocha Foodstore in Petaling Street may look like any other shoplot along the row – but walk past the unassuming door and you’ll find yourself in a place that evokes plenty of nostalgia and old school charm. The word “chocha” means sit and drink tea in Hakka, and that was what everyone did when I...
If I could pick just one item to eat at Botanica + Co, it would be Sam’s Crab Crayfish Laksa. This new spot in Bangsar South is all the rage at the moment, commanding a rather impressive lunch crowd when I went, twice. The laksa has a thick and aromatic broth, with laksa pesto [] The post...
Last Sunday, I was invited to P.S Tokyo First Anniversary Blogger Party. It has been ages since I went to P.S Tokyo and now it is already one year since their opening! Their official anniversary date is on 4th October and bloggers were invited to a special preview of their upcoming dessert - Japanese Hot...
TOKB Café in Petaling Jaya isn’t just any café – it is military themed, meant to pay tribute to war heroes of the past. It was rif who took me there for lunch recently, when our hunt for Pokemon took us nearby. The café offers Kelantanese cuisine such as Nasi Kerabu, Nasi Tumpang and laksam;...
