Meng Kee Char Siew, Happy Garden
The name Meng Kee carries a lot of weightage when it comes to char siew – I would expect the char siew to be one of the best in town. When I tried Meng Kee Char Siew in Happy Garden, I was disappointed. While the char siew wasn’t terrible, it wasn’t the usual standard I [] The post Meng Kee...

That leap of faith
About this time a year ago, I tendered my resignation after sitting on the idea of setting up my own agency for many months too long. Part of me wanted to stay in a job I no longer enjoyed because of the pay. But a larger part of me ached to leave because I wanted [] The post That leap of faith...

The Brasserie, The St. Regis Kuala Lumpur
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...

Jeff Lee Kitchen, Sungai Buloh
When a restaurant requires prior booking in order for customers to secure a table, one would expect the food to be top notch. My in-laws have been raving about Jeff Lee Kitchen in Sungai Buloh, especially their “standing chicken” and minced pork wantan noodles. There were no tables available when we...

Random Musings
A friend of mine once told me “only bitchy people have musings” and while I wanted to retaliate in disagreement, he’s right. Those with strong opinions tend to muse more often and I fall into that category. Not that I’m bitchy (angelic smile), though some people might feel so if they rub me the...

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;...

Fuji Pacific Malaysia
I’ve recently grown to appreciate sake – Japanese rice wine that is delicate in taste and clear in colour. It tastes amazing with simple Japanese dishes such as grilled skewered items and sashimi. That way, one gets to truly appreciate the beauty of a particular sake and how smooth it is when swirled...

E Soo Yong Tau Foo, Kepong
Kepong is a place that rif and I enjoy exploring for good food – despite the language barrier, the gems discovered are worth the hassle and sometimes, miscommunication. E Soo Yong Tau Foo in Bandar Menjalara is popular for its yong tau foo as well as cooked dishes such as pork ribs curry, house special...

The St. Regis Langkawi opened in April this year – positioned as the trendsetter of sophisticated island living where the resort is set amidst nature and the Andaman Sea. rif and I were one of the lucky few to be given a preview of this 5-star luxury resort by Starwood Hotels and the St. Regis []...

Nyuk Min, SS2
While most of my blogging peers look for new and trendy restaurants and cafes that seem to be mushrooming in town, I prefer to stick to my favourite local spots. My readers’ recommendations are what I take quite seriously and one of them suggested Nyuk Min in SS2 after I blogged about the wantan mee...

Sunrise Roast Duck, Petaling Jaya
Sunrise Roast Duck in Seapark PJ used to be my family cheat meal on weekends – dad had a roast duck phase and he would take the family out for a hearty lunch after Sunday service. This would usually happen once a month and I remembered always fighting for the drumstick with my siblings. We [] The...

Pampering Session at Apronbay, Bangsar
Apronbay in Bangsar is my one-stop beauty parlour when it comes to waxing, threading, manicure and pedicure. I love how detailed they are with caring for my beauty needs and the level of care they extend to all their customers is unlike other beauty parlours I’ve visited in the past. I recently hosted an...

Lucy Stall Pan Mee, Kuchai Lama
Hidden gems are what rif and I would hunt for during the weekends, and we struck gold with the pan mee at Lucy Stall in Jalan Selesa, Taman Gembira. Lucy Stall is actually located in a house, at the corner of Jalan Selesa 1 so all you need to do is waze for that street [] The post Lucy Stall Pan Mee,...

Silverspoon, Dataran Emerald
I first visited Silverspoon (Ken’s Café back then) in Kepong back in 2005 when it was just a fuss-free Italian restaurant. rif took me there for one of our date nights and back then, the setup was basic but food was really hearty and made with love. When Chef Ken sold the place and migrated [] The...

#MyHaigClub
I’ve always fancied the idea of a personalised gift – it’s way more memorable that way especially if you’re the recipient. Shows that the person gifting it to me cares enough to put that much thought into things. With that said, Im happy to announce that starting this Friday, 22nd July 2016,...

Key Hiong Dim Sum, Taman Megah
Dim Sum is something I can hardly refuse though I can’t say the same about my recent experience at Key Hiong in Taman Megah. I’ve heard mix reviews about the place – some claim it’s “the best dim sum in PJ” while others say it’s overrated. We were there with two of our friends who []...

Qba at The Westin Kuala Lumpur
Mention Qba and I would automatically think “grill” and “Latin America”, which isn’t too far off since this open concept restaurant in The Westin Kuala Lumpur echoes what Cuban cuisine is about – vibrant flavours and vivid seasoning. It’s been more than two years since my last visit and while...

Lim Sisters, Kepong
Penang prawn mee is something I’ve grown to enjoy but finding a good version in Klang Valley has been quite a challenge. My regular haunt is a tad pricey considering the portion so when a friend recommended the prawn mee at Lim Sisters in Kepong, rif and I scheduled a visit that weekend itself. Alas,...
