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...
A couple of weeks back, I joined Olay for a one-day trip to Singapore where the brand launched Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Pre-Essence. With the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, this essence completes the Olay Regenerist Miracle Duo set. Stayed at The St. Regis Singapore where the butler service was...
Langkawi Fish Farm is one of the restaurants in our list of places to check out something rif planned for us when we decided to visit the island. The restaurant isnt too far away from our hotel and since we rented a car, getting around the island was easy. It is best to get [] The post...
Epicurean Market offers you an opportunity to dine at the famed restaurants at Marina Bay Sands, at a fraction of the price. I was invited to attend the market’s fourth edition in Singapore, where a 3-day event ticket is priced at $35 and you get access to sample the offerings from the top restaurants in...
Happy Garden is an area filled with hidden gems, like this unassuming “big fry” (tai chow) stall in San Kee Restaurant. I chanced upon this when I checked out the not so impressive char siew place a few doors away – quite a number of patrons were tucking into plates of Cantonese fried kuay teow...
Bak Kut Teh isn’t something I regularly indulge in – a ritual that is only possible if you happen to live in Klang, or near enough. So when I do make time for bak kut teh in Klang, I try and make sure I only get the best ones possible. Alas, we weren’t as lucky [] The post Weng Heong Bak Kut...
My friends have been telling me about the kai si hor fun (chicken kuay teow soup) at Pau Kee in Jalan Imbi – apparently, it’s better than the one at Mei Sin, which isn’t too far away. They serve Ipoh style hor fun, steamed chicken, curry mee and also wantan mee, though waiting time can be []...
I started appreciating tea about 3 years ago – right about the time I discovered Peppermint Tea and how refreshing it tasted. Since then, I’ve opened up to an assortment of flavours like the popular English Breakfast, Darjeeling and Earl Grey. Twinings recently launched 8 new additions to their...
Travel writer: Melissa Foo Perhentian Island is a great destination for those looking for an island getaway in Peninsular Malaysia – with (still) clear blue waters and sandy beaches. During my last visit, I stayed in Perhentian Besar which I felt was more suited for families traveling with kids. I...
After a family tussle over the ownership of Line Clear Nasi Kandar in Penang, one of the proprietors opened LC Restaurant in Kampung Baru. It is said that the outlet in Penang is now run by the cousin, and the original recipe for Line Clear’s famous nasi kandar is only available at the Kampung Baru...
I’ve been using the Dyson Pure Cool Link for close to 4 months now – a state-of-the-art air purifier that claims to clean the air within minutes. As we do quite a bit of cooking and entertaining in our home, I find the Pure Cool Link extremely helpful in purifying the air quickly. I’ve used []...
It’s been quite a while since I did a fashion post – workload is piling and there has been a couple of changes at the office. Those aside, here is one of my favourite “day to date” look, in classic black. I’m so in love with this pantsuit from Mori Pin, where the bottom has [] The post...
Nasi kukus isn’t something I eat often but when my friend raved about how good Nasi Kukus Ilham is, I knew I had to give it a shot. Nasi Kukus Ilham is said to be one of the best around and if you get there slightly past 7pm, expect a crowd. Only nasi kukus (RM6.70) [] The post Nasi Kukus Ilham,...
After a rather disappointing char siew experience at Meng Kee Char Siew in Happy Garden, I decided to give the branch in Kuchai Lama a shot. Which was a let-down as well. Service was prompt and our food didn’t take long to arrive. We ordered the usual – char siew wantan mee (RM5.50 – small, []...
Sushi Mentai was established five years ago with the aim to bring affordable Japanese food that is accessible to everyone without compromising on quality. Each plate on the conveyor belt is priced at RM1.80 or RM2.80, with more than 50 types of sushi to choose from. To keep things exciting for customers,...
Marina Bay Sands has plenty to offer – from hotel rooms and luxury suites to one of the best luxury shopping experiences in South East Asia. The property is one of Singapore’s most notable skyline and home to the many celebrity chef restaurants in the city. I had the pleasure of revisiting Marina Bay...
Banana leaf rice has become a weekly ritual for me; its difficult to resist freshly cooked parboiled rice drenched in assorted curries, with side vegetables, meat and rasam to cap off the meal. I have my favourites like this gem and this, but recently found out about the banana leaf rice at UMAC...
Mid-Autumn Festival is an occasion where families and loved ones get together to celebrate love, health, longevity and great fortune. It is also an occasion to indulge in beautifully crafted mooncakes and admire the packaging design of various hotels and restaurants. BLOOM Mooncakes at The Westin Kuala...
My mother would have turned 59 today if she were still alive. When we celebrated her birthday in 2015, I remember questioning why she wanted a big celebration since it wasn’t her 60th. And I told her she should wait till she turned 60 so we can do it in a grand scale. See, my [] The post Happy...
I first visited Kim Lian Kee five years ago when I started working in KL – my then colleagues took me out to lunch and highly recommended the Hokkien Mee. It soon became one of my regular lunch spots, especially when I discovered “Moonlight Kuay Teow”. That’s essentially fried kuay teow with a raw...
