Samet Thai in Kuchai Lama has a no-frills setup – a Thai kopitiam that rif and I wondered into one weekend when we were looking for a place to eat. Our initial plan was to go for beef noodles but since we found a parking spot in front of Samet Thai, rif decided to try [] The post Samet Thai, Kuchai...
Brooklyn Diner in New York was my first stop for food when rif and I landed, after being stranded for more than 20 hours in Syracuse due to a snow storm. I was tired and famished, and the diner on 57th Street was just a few blocks away from our hotel. The waiters were friendly [] The post Brooklyn...
Chan Meng Kee in SS2 has been around for a number of years but I only managed a visit a couple of days back when rif wanted to eat around the area. He has eaten there before and said good things about the food so I had to try it for myself. Service is prompt [] The post Chan Meng Kee, SS2 appeared...
Travel writer: Melissa Foo Bangkok is often considered as a short getaway destination option as it’s only a 2-hour flight away from Kuala Lumpur. A typical Bangkok holiday consists of mainly eating, shopping, eating, and shopping; not necessarily in that order. Platinum Mall, Chatuchak Weekend Market,...
Hong Kong Hot Pot in Telawi Square Bangsar is relatively new but it’s often packed when it opens for business at night. It was my second visit to this small establishment – without a booking, you might have to wait for a table. I’ve been wanting to return since my first visit slightly over a []...
Birthdays arent supposed to be morbid but I couldnt help but reminisce about how my mother would greet me each year without fail. Her last birthday text read, Happy and blessed birthday my first born. Will you be coming home for dinner tonight? As the clock struck 12, I was...
When it comes to Thai cuisine, I’m always game. I think I had a Thai food face (I’m sure some of you noticed) a few months back where almost every alternate review or social media posting I did was about Thai food. Jing Thai in Seri Kembangan is one of the Thai restaurants I had [] The post Jing...
“Opportunities are never lost. Someone else will take the ones that you missed.” I think that’s pretty much how it is when it comes to investing in a good property. There are many things to consider when you’re buying or investing in a property – tenure (freehold or leasehold), location,...
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fixated on steamboat or any sort of hotpot where food is cooked in a pot of broth. The only “hotpot” I don’t fancy as much is lok-lok, because I don’t get to drink the soup. BeBeHo Steamboat in Old Klang Road is relatively new and uses [] The post...
Haircare is something I recently took seriously, when I realised my hair condition isn’t as good as it was before. There are more breakages and my hair has gotten thinner and limper over the years. When I started using Adenovital Scalp Essence V by Shiseido Professional, I noticed an improvement in my...
My current work station is possibly the messiest I’ve seen it to be, which isn’t much of a surprise since my desk is always messy regardless of where I work. There’s always loose pieces of paper (mostly receipts) lying around, my laptop and coffee cup, because I’m a sucker for that RM2 tumbler...
Writing about food is something that comes pretty naturally for me, especially since I’ve been doing so since 2007. While many FB establishments are popping up in Klang Valley, I’m more keen on hidden gems or food spots that are tried and tested over the years. Like Kum Kee Chicken Rice in Kuchai...
Kajang is an area I rarely venture into though it’s about time I should – there are plenty of hidden gems to discover, according to my dad’s cousin who lives in Country Heights. He took me to dinner at a restaurant named Xi Young Xuan where we had simple dishes that didn’t cost an arm [] The...
Throughout my blogging journey, I’ve been blessed to have helpful friends who are more than happy to guide me when it comes to wine, fine dining and also coffee. I had a coffee phase back in 2010 where I wanted to learn as much as I could about coffee so I read plenty of books from [] The post...
Hotel breakfasts was something I couldn’t afford in terms of time when I used to travel for business. It was a novelty I didnt have because I was always rushing off to a conference or to the regional office, where official work hours begin at half past 8. Sussing out the breakfast buffet spread is...
rif and I try to make sure we go for date nights at least once a fortnight despite our busy schedules, though we sometimes miss out because of work/blog commitments. We both decided on Maria’s Steak Café in Bangsar on our recent date night because it was one of the places in Bangsar we haven’t...
Buffets offer value and variety, two keywords that often comes into consideration when dining out. Aoki Tei in Sunway Nexis is one of the newer Japanese restaurants in town (by Umai-Ya) that offers the buffet concept where customers pick the items they like from the two-page menu available. Seating is...
Passions of Kerala in New World Park Penang is a little gem that serves South Indian cuisine. I was introduced to this by one of my readers, Rowen, and I’m glad I got to squeeze in time to indulge in a banana leaf rice meal during my short trip up north. A standard banana leaf [] The post Passions...
As someone whos been blogging for more than 8 years, I consider myself one of the pioneers when it comes to the blogging industry. Jien and I receive emails on a daily basis, mostly for reviews and advertorials. And while we try to accommodate those requests as best as we can, it is hard to []...
