Katz Delicatessen in New York is an institution on its own a spot where locals go for apparently the best pastrami sandwich that leaves you stuffed, but wanting more. It was one of rif and my must-try places during our (too short) time in the city and were so glad we got to try [] The...
When rif and I travel, we look forward to trying new places and different types of food especially when it comes to Penang both island and mainland. Tokyo Restaurant in Kampung Benggali came highly recommended by a friend of mine, who insisted I should give it a try when I head up north. And...
Fitness isn’t really my kind of thing – I never saw it as part of a lifestyle. I would work out, but only because there was a reason for me to do so. It is usually before a big event or a photoshoot, which would require me to look toned. Once that’s done with, I [] The post Fitness Goals...
Nasi Kandar is one of my favourite things to eat in Penang – a meal I find quite impossible to resist given just how much I love my curries. There’s just something about the combination of curries in nasi kandar that I find extremely addictive and no matter how stuffed I am from dinner, I [] The...
The Pines Melaka is one of the newer hotels in this historical city – an establishment that boast a contemporary exterior and interior in the midst of dreamy, olden day charm the city has to offer.

By fashion writer: Wei Ni Lee Tapered trousers have totally taken over my life! I have been searching high low for the perfect pair for the longest time and finally found this! I wanted one that sat right at the waist to nip it in with a slight carrot leg to create a slimmer [] The post One...
I’ve eaten at Tiong Hokkien Mee numerous times in the past 8 years or so – when they first opened in Champion Duck (they were called Ah Wah) in Damansara Uptown. They have since relocated to the same row of shop lots as Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee, boasting a bigger and brighter space. Ordering and...
With fasting month happening just around the corner, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur showcases an array of masakan kampung on top of its existing repertoire of international favourites. These dishes are prepared by Chef Din, the hotel’s sous chef with more than 10 years of experience in authentic Malay...
In the past, I spent most of my mornings trying to mix and match my clothes so I don’t blend in with the corporate crowd. I wanted to express my personal style without breaking any HR rules, so colours and prints were things I look out for in my daily outfits. With dress code freedom...
Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee in Damansara Utama is said to serve the best Hokkien Mee in PJ where the place packs up come night time, with diners tucking into their signature fried noodles coated in black sauce and pork lard. It’s been more than a year since I last visited them and they have implemented...
Kodawari Menya Udon Tempura in 1 Mont Kiara is a vision of efficiency – a self-service joint that serves udon in a variety of sauces and broth, with an assortment of tempura to go with it. The udon originates from the Sanuki province Kagawa in Japan, a place known for this noodle craft. The...
Travel writer: Melissa Foo When is the best time of the year to visit Melbourne on a moderate budget? You probably guessed right – smack in the middle of winter. The good part about living in Kuala Lumpur and traveling to a place like Melbourne for a holiday is that those who love the cold [] The...
Xiao by Crustz at Happy Mansion feels a little bit like a gallery – a smallish space that caters to a maximum of 15-20 pax at a time. This patisserie focuses on French-inspired creations, all beautifully crafted and extremely photogenic. The set-up is clean and minimalistic which I like, though it can get...
Patty Pie in Aman Suria offers a decent range of burgers and pizzas made from scratch – an outlet both rif and I have been wanting to try since they appeared on our food radar months ago. There is no pie at Patty Pie; the name “patty” stands for burger patties and “pie” [] The...
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...
When a hotel pays attention to little details, I’m more likely to remember them for the effort. Like how Mandarin Oriental Singapore takes the initiative to ensure my electric kettle is filled prior to check-in for convenience. This iconic hotel lies in the heart of Marina Bay, boasting the iconic fan...
Mention pan mee and one will tend to assume it comes in the form of soup (spicy sometimes) or dry style (dark sauce or with chilli paste). Fried pan mee isn’t very common but rif and I recently tried it for ourselves, at this place called Big Tree Fried Pan Mee, just off Old Klang Road. [] The...
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,...
I’ve driven past Thai Camp in Taman Paramount PJ several times over the last two years or more and heard good things about the place, but it was only a couple of weeks back when I tried it for myself. It was rif who convinced me that I would enjoy the food Thai Camp has to offer after going there...
London is a city that feels almost like home – having studied there some years back and most recently, dad invested in a vacation home in Canada Water for the family. I flew into London from Kuala Lumpur via Malaysia Airlines, which offers direct flights to London twice daily. This to me, saves time and...
