Two Scones One Cup is a cosy corner lot café in Section 17 and as the name suggests, scones are a highlight. I’ve seen photos of the place and its scones on my Instagram feed, prompting a visit over the weekend. The scones (RM9 for two pieces) come with a serving of clotted cream and [] The post...
A burger to me, is a balanced architecture of taste and excellence. The meat patty has to be a mix of fatty and lean, and it should always be cooked medium rare. The burger bun should be soft yet firm enough to hold, brushed with butter and toasted on one side. There are many places [] The post The...
I still remember that moment when I got my first car – a Proton Saga which I purchased 7 years ago, when I started working.

I’ve read reviews of The Barn at 1 Mont Kiara, all rather positive and giving hope that this might just be a spot for good ribs and tapas. I was initially invited to check out what The Barn has to offer but decided I should go there on my own account and dine like everyone [] The post The Barn, 1...
One of the many things rif and I enjoy eating together is Mexican food where the items are appreciably messy and cheesy, washed down with several glasses of margarita slush. Senor Taco in Clarke Quay serves just that in a casual, unpretentious setting. The menu is simple, offering Tex-Mex favourites such...

There was no air of pretense at Ngam in Bangsar when I stepped in for a casual dinner session last week. The setup is basic, almost no frills, and the menu is straightforward and honest.

I love a good beef burger – a simple one, juicy and nicely browned all over, with just a bit of seasoning to allow me to enjoy the essence of the beefiness. But I love more is a jazzed up version, with cheese, egg, bacon and even better, an additional patty. That was exactly what [] The post...
I had a sneak preview of the new Kia Cerato Koup T-GDI slightly over a week ago, where I drove it for an hour around the city. The Cerato Koup comes with a 1.6L Turbo GDi Engine and looks to me, like a hybrid of a sedan and sports car. It’s not often I do [] The post Car Review: Kia Cerato Koup...
