Let’s Joy Café in Kuchai Lama is a popular spot for dessert which rif and I recently checked out with a few of our eating buddies. The café occupies two shop lots and it gets pretty crowded during night time, especially weekends. I like coming here because there’s a variety to choose from – shaved...
I was never a fan of bittergourd – a vegetable my mother insisted on when I was growing up. It was often blended into my daily dose of juice and stir fried with garlic. Suffice to say, I developed a great dislike for bittergourd and would equate it to horrible things one should eat when they need...
Portofino in Bangsar happens to be one of the Italian restaurants I frequent – clearly because of the location and mostly because I find the ambiance ideal and food, decent. Pricing is fairly reasonable considering the location and service on most of my visits have been consistent. Almost as consistent as...
There’s plenty to like about Coffee Good Golly Miss Molly in Petaling Jaya; the décor being one of them. I was told about this place by my father in-law, who happens to be quite the coffee drinker of late. In his words, “I quite like the coffee at the Golly Molly place. It’s not too [] The...
Chuan Lee Restaurant in Petaling Jaya has a good variety of hawker stalls that operate during the day. Come night time, the place serves “tai chow” dishes, which I have yet to try. rif and I have always been a fan of hawker food and to us, discovering a new hawker spot proves more pleasurable []...
Dining at Aziamendi88 in Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur is a journey of senses; an experience that allows you to take in a multitude of flavours, textures and visual cues. A flair of Asian elements in Basque philosophy. I’ve been waiting to see what Chef Eneko Atxa, acclaimed Three Michelin Star Chef in...
Feeka at Jalan Mesui has the makings of a good café – cosy, unpretentious and spacious, perfect for lazy brunches and casual coffee sessions. The alfresco area is potentially a good place to catch up on some reading when the weather is kinder. What I find lacking at Feeka however, is the service. Which...
Southern Thai cuisine has an appeal of its own – an unparalleled simplicity that unfolds into a multitude of flavours in every bite. I’m not talking about Pad Thai or mango salad; but “real” Southern Thai food that is delicious by even local standards. We found this at Anchalee Restaurant in Krabi.
If you’re a regular blog reader, you would know that curry laksa is one of my all-time favourite – I can eat it five days in a row and not get sick of the taste. Of late, I’ve been getting my fix at this place called Restoran Ah Loy in OUG, which rif and I [] The post Restoran Ah Loy, OUG...
I never knew what a Mookata was, until I tried it at Soi 19 in Kuchai Lama. rif and I stumbled upon this cosy little spot when we were randomly picking places to eat for dinner. We walked in thinking that it was a Thai restaurant that served dishes only to learn they offer this [] The post Soi 19,...
The Bee has always appealed to both families and youngsters – known for its spacious, cosy setup and food and drinks that are both hearty and unpretentious. I like the Publika outlet because it is bigger and more conducive for conversations, so I tend to pick this venue when I have work meetings around...
One of the perks about living in Malaysia is the exposure to different types of cuisines. Punjabi food is something I rarely get to enjoy, ever since I left high school and lost touch with a few of my Punjabi peers. I was recently re-introduced to this cuisine when my colleagues and I visited Tiger...
Yellow Brick Road in Jalan Batai is crowded on a Sunday – a casual spot that has become quite a hit since they opened early this year. I’ve heard good things about this café and even more positive things about the pancakes at Wicked Pancake Parlour, run by the same folks behind Yellow Brick Road.
Panchos Mexican Taqueria is not Tex Mex, but Mexican, located on the third floor of Mid Valley Megamall and is determined to excite your palate with exciting flavours and heat levels. Most places in Klang Valley serves Tex-Mex food and often, they come with a higher price tag. The folks at Panchos keep...
Obahnmi in 1 Utama is the offshoot of the original outlet in Damansara Uptown, serving the same signature items and business was brisk when rif and I paid them a visit. The concept is the same – place an order at the counter, settle the bill and wait for your food to be served. A [] The post...
A burger to me, is a balanced architecture of taste and excellence. The meat patty has to be a mix of fatty and lean, and it should always be cooked medium rare. The burger bun should be soft yet firm enough to hold, brushed with butter and toasted on one side. There are many places [] The post The...
Hai Peng Kopitiam has always been our default pitstop whenever rif and I head to the east coast en route our beach vacation. They have also opened Sukiyang Coffee by Hai Peng in Kemaman, which we tried two weeks ago with a group of friends. Sukiyang occupies a spacious corner lot and the interior is...
In anticipation of fasting month, I had a preview of what it would be like to Buka Puasa at Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside where a sumptuous “Jom Balik Kampung” spread awaited. I reckon this hotel is one of the more popular venues for corporate functions around the vicinity and the spread had a good variety...
I’ve read reviews of The Barn at 1 Mont Kiara, all rather positive and giving hope that this might just be a spot for good ribs and tapas. I was initially invited to check out what The Barn has to offer but decided I should go there on my own account and dine like everyone [] The post The Barn, 1...
One of the many things rif and I enjoy eating together is Mexican food where the items are appreciably messy and cheesy, washed down with several glasses of margarita slush. Senor Taco in Clarke Quay serves just that in a casual, unpretentious setting. The menu is simple, offering Tex-Mex favourites such...
