rif and I got hitched. Its been an exciting (and challenging) journey thus far good times, bad times. There are moments when I feel like strangling him and Im pretty darn sure he wants to strangle me too. But we managed to work things out most of the time. And in other times, he...
By Fashion Writer: Wei Ni Lee This will be the first time I am trying out cream colours, having never wanted to before because it just didn’t appeal to me and I was worried the colours wouldn’t stay or wouldn’t blend properly. Provided with helpful make-up patterns created by the renowned British...
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single scoop.” At least that’s what I tell myself when I reach for an ice cream treat – a habit I’ve grown accustomed to over the years. There’s never a bad time for an ice cold treat, I reckon. And our humid weather fuels my desires [] The...
I was exposed to the world of Peranakan food since I got to know rif, whose father comes from Malacca and grew up the “Baba Nyonya” way. Meals at home comprise chicken pongteh, jiu hu char, ayam buah keluak, popiah, asam prawns and a whole lot more. Which is why I never felt the need [] The post...
KGB in TTDI has been in operation since March this year but I only popped by recently to see what they had to offer. Thing is, when theres an outlet in Bangsar, I dont feel the need to go that far for a burger fix. Surely you agree with me. 😉 But rif insisted on [] The post KGB, TTDI...
As most of you already know, I have a fashion writer on board – Wei Ni, founder of Peep Boutique and a good friend of mine. She’s been a lifesaver when it comes to blogging about fashion and beauty, as my schedule doesn’t permit me to attend all these cool events. While she helps me [] The post...
I like to think Malaysians are generally a patriotic bunch; at least the ones I know are. We always talk about the beauty of our country – the abundance of good food, the beautiful sights, picturesque islands and of course, our hospitality. Not everyone agrees with me though. At least not the cab driver...
Banana leaf rice meals have become a ritual for me, ever since I’ve learnt to appreciate South Indian cuisine. There’s nothing quite like a hearty meal of parboiled rice, assorted curries, vegetables and side dishes, washed down with warm rasam. When rif suggested Curry Leaf in Damansara Uptown shortly...
Magnum Café in Mid Valley has been around since late last year; I remembered seeing massive queues whenever I went to that mall. Everyone wanted their share of Magnum treats especially since the brand introduced the concept, “Make My Magnum”, where customers can custom-make their ice cream using the...
By Fashion Writer: Wei Ni Lee Because women can’t have all the fun! Plaid is an incredibly versatile print and works well with both men women. While this look can so very easily turn cowboy with bellbottoms, boots a cowboy hat, I wanted to create looks that are wearable outside of the rodeo.
Curry noodles are a must have for me; a staple I cant go without for more than a week. To a point I would pack a cup or two of curry instant noodles just to curb the craving when I travel. Foo Kwai Curry Mee in Ipoh is a new discovery for rif and I [] The post Foo Kwai Curry Mee, Ipoh appeared...
Like Haig Club London, Haig Club Miami was celebrated in style and full of flair. Everything was impeccably done – from the setup and décor, right down to the food and cocktails. I’m honoured to be invited by David, to join him for dinner to celebrate the brand and in a city he calls his [] The...
Close to two years ago, Kiefer from Longwood Assets suggested that I consider trademarking the Bangsar Babe brand. And he had a good point. The brand is constantly growing and it would be good to take it to the next level – to get the ® for Bangsarbabe.com. For people like me, it sounded like []...
Its been a long flight (close to 30 hours) and Ive been sleeping quite a bit, especially en route London. Had two glasses of champagne and a light meal before falling asleep only to wake up an hour before landing. The transit in Heathrow took 4 hours of which I managed to grab a bite []...
Indulgence Restaurant is one of the few fine dining options available in Ipoh (if not the only), housed in a colonial mansion in Ipoh. The menu features Modern European fare and seasonal offerings displayed on a chalkboard across the room. Décor is minimal and the ambiance felt like a casual café rather...
“Breakfast, brunch and everything in between” – how aptly this describes Plates at Lebuh Muntri in Penang. Plates occupy the front portion of the space that also houses Inch; due to the space and large windows, lighting during the day is terrific. Especially if you’re big on photography and...
There are plenty of things I like about The Hound Café in OUG – Cookie the friendly beagle who greets you as you enter, its understated yet cosy décor, and the coffee and cakes available. The café is dog friendly so people bring their own to interact with Cookie. The coffee is pretty decent, though...
By Fashion Writer: Wei Ni Lee I’m the kind of person that whenever I see a plaid print I kinda go, Oooooooo! Lookit at that gorgeous plaid! And I cant resist but walk over to check it out, and more often than not, end up walking away with a piece! #shopaholic Because of the variety...
Finding a stall that serves good Penang char kuay teow in KL is more feasible than one that serves good Penang tua pan. As a matter of fact, I wasn’t aware of a place that serves Penang tua pan until recently, when Ken took me to try Danny Penang Tua Pan in Bandar Sri Menjalara. [] The post Danny...
When we visited Taipei earlier this year, rif suggested we dine at Shin Yeh at Taipei 101, said to serve fine Taiwanese cuisine with a panoramic view of the city. Reservation is a must, especially if you want to secure the window seat. The minimum spend per person is NT1800, if you want to secure []...
