Saint Pierre in Kuala Lumpur was top on my to-try list when I first heard it was coming to W Kuala Lumpur. Founded by Chef Emmanuel Stroobant, the team in Kuala Lumpur is headed by Chef Kim Kevin de Dood — most of them from Saint Pierre in Singapore. Like many fine dining establishments I’ve []...
If there’s one thing that differentiates Jien and I, it would be our sense of adventure when it comes to food. While we tend to go for similar dishes, our choice of restaurants are for from the same. Wizards at Tribeca is one of them — he’s been wanting to try the food there ever [] The post...
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...
I’ve always pegged Pampas Reserve as a happy hour joint – the drinks are reasonable and it’s located right smack in the middle of Kuala Lumpur. Suasana Bukit Ceylon to be exact. What I didn’t realise was they also serve steak, which I pleasantly discovered last week when Jien took me there for our...
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...
I like the look and feel of The Brasserie at The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur, where the high ceilings and plush furnishing oozes modern sophistication. This has been on my list of restaurants to try when my partner in crime is in town, and we did – slightly over a week ago. Though the hotel [] The post...
For the first time in years, rif and I didnt travel over the long weekend so we decided to visit the Ali, Muthu Ah Hock in Kuala Lumpur, the second outlet after the original spot in Oasis Damansara. I find the outlet in KL more old school with its scruffy-looking walls which gives it an...
The new Yut Kee isn’t located too far away from where it used to be; a short walking distance at the back of the old spot and one that’s bigger and brighter, with bits of old school nostalgia here and there. Yut Kee is new, but the interior is fashioned to reflect how it was [] The post Yut Kee,...
Cedar on 15 at Impiana KLCC Hotel has plenty to offer; from its strategic location, great view of the city and a contemporary ambiance that isn’t overly rigid. Located on the 15th floor of the hotel, the restaurant offers a view of the city skyline should you opt to sit by the balcony. I invited []...
Iketeru at Hilton Kuala Lumpur seems to have its regulars – on a weeknight, it was crowded with patrons tucking into platters of assorted sashimi, sushi rolls and specialty dishes. For an upscale establishment, I would expect service to be more punctilious but it was alas, disorganized. Our orders were...
Yashi-no-me is not an easy restaurant to find, tucked in corner of an alley in Wisma Cosway. The name stands for coconut in Japanese but this quaint little café has little or nothing to do with the fruit. The décor is a mishmash of wooden tables, leather sofas, tinted windows, old TV set and gaudy [...]...
Rama V in Jalan U-Thant sports an updated menu with new dishes to complement the old signatures, which I had the privilege of trying. It is a restaurant that holds good memories for me – weddings, events and get together with friends and loved ones were held here. Among the appetizers, Rama V Papaya Salad...
Prasads Chetty Naadu Mess in Lebuh Ampang is one of my more unusual banana leaf rice experiences thus far — a hole in the wall above the goldsmith shop along Lebuh Ampang. Getting there is a little tricky, for the entrance is rather hidden. You need to spot Prasad’s goldsmith shop first, where...
