DRx Clinic Skincare
Both my parents have fairly good skin and I’m the lucky one of four of my siblings to inherit their best genes. I rarely suffer breakouts and when I do, it’s often on my back. As such, I never took skincare seriously and only started investing in good ones two or three years ago. Even [...] The post DRx...

Its that time of the year where couples show their love for one another; Valentines Day. The time of year where flower sales around the world sky-rocket and possibly one of the stressful periods for men, as they scurry around town in search for the perfect gift and ideal venue to wine and dine...

“Not winning made me work harder.”
I would occasionally have random train of thoughts on the way to work since I commute via train and theres nothing much to do besides surfing the net or reading a book. And considering how packed the train gets during peak hours, reading a book can be challenging when you have one hand holding onto...

With Chinese New Year just around the corner, restaurants are offering their special festive set menus complete with Yee Sang for good luck. This year, Chef Ricky from Lai Po Heen in Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur showcases some of his best dishes which I was fortunate to sample, starting with the yee sang...

Golden Kim Wah, Damansara Kim
I’ve been huge fan of Robert Char Kuay Teow ever since I first tried it in 2007. That was in Say Huat Coffeeshop, Section 17 and it has become my regular char kuay teow spot ever since. rif and I were around the neighbourhood when we saw another Robert Char Kuay Teow stall at Restoran [...] The post...

PS.Cafe, Ann Siang Hill
Whenever I visit Singapore, I tend to go back to the same few spots where I’ve grown accustomed to the food and place. Creature of habit, I know. My other half however, loves trying new places and insisted we try something out of our norm when we were in the city – PS.Café at Ann [...] The post...

A change in perspective
Was doing my performance evaluation with my immediate supervisor when he made a comment about how things would have been different if I hadn’t joined the corporate field. He was somewhat right – I think I’ve been put through a good amount of stressful situations, office politics and chauvinists, and...

Tong Sheng Restaurant, Melaka
A few people told me to check out the cheese prawn mee hoon at Tong Sheng in Melaka, which I did two weekends ago on my way back to Kuala Lumpur from Johor Baru. There were many things I did not like about Tong Sheng and it started from the ridiculous queue at 6.30pm. To [...] The post Tong Sheng...

Naughty Nuri’s Desa Sri Hartamas
I’m no stranger to Naughty Nuri’s pork ribs, a lip-smacking platter of falling of the bone pork, seasoned with Balinese spices and grilled to perfection. It is still one of the best pork ribs I’ve eaten, I reckon. Especially when you add some sambal for extra kick. When word got out that Naughty...

Fook Lam Moon, Hong Kong
As my Cantonese is fairly limited, I’m often the “pointy tourist” when it comes to ordering food in Hong Kong since I dare not pronounce certain words that would make me a laughing stock. But this pointy tourist loves a good dim sum and when Mei offered to be my food guide, I gladly took [...] The...

Of lost friendships and making new ones
I’ve been doing some self-reflection and evaluation after losing quite a number of friends in the past 5 years – while I reckon it’s pretty common for this to happen, I wasnt prepared to deal with the feeling of loss and desperation. This is also one of the reasons why I’m hesitant to get to...

Fisherman’s Cove, Pangkor Laut Resort
Seafood was never on my to-eat list until the last 8 years or so, before I started this blog. I never saw the appeal of crabs and the idea of peeling prawns puts me off further. When I ate char kuay teow, I asked for the cockles to be omitted and oysters were unpalatable unless [...] The post...

The Ganga Cafe, Bangsar
After several months of missed opportunities, I finally made my way to The Ganga Café in Lorong Kurau, Bangsar. My father in-law has spoken nothing but good things about the food, and I was told they formerly operated from the food court in Lucky Garden before moving over to Lorong Kurau. The...

44 @ APW, Bangsar
An old fashioned made with bourbon tastes completely different than when made rye. Bourbon is a sweet, smooth and rounded character while rye on the other hand is dry, grassy and brash. But it gives more character to cocktail – angular and edgy, and a lot more dynamic. I recently discovered this at 44 @...

Bubbylicious Brunch at El Cerdo
Bubbly brunches have become a popular thing in the Klang Valley dining scene and one my friends and I look forward to when we’re out for a good time. A couple of years back, only hotels offered bubbly brunch buffets and they were often elaborate – gluttony at its finest, I say. When El Cerdo [...] The...

Cooking with Le Cordon Bleu Malaysia
Taking shortcuts make up some of my shortcomings when it comes to cooking. I’m never one to accurately follow recipes and I shy away from recipes that require you to “beat egg whites till stiff peak”. That’s just too much work for me. I’m also one who would rather buy a slice of pie than [...] The...

SOULed OUT, Bangsar South
Ever since I joined the workforce, the words “happy hour” and “public holiday” makes me excited. Since the latter isn’t within my control, I focus more on happy hour – my favourite time of the day where I get off work in time for a tipple. rif and I recently discovered the RM10 promotion in...

Lao Wang Beef Noodles, Taipei
For those with poor command of Mandarin (myself included), travelling to a country that uses Mandarin as their first language is a daunting thought. I had a rather tough time in China and not too long ago, Taiwan. The latter was actually more difficult because not many of the Taiwanese spoke English, and...
