Happy New Year!
As 2014 came to an end yesterday, I couldnt help but feel terribly defeated by a difficult year. There was also a sense of relief it is ending and I’m hoping for better year this 2015. Optimists would always look at the cup half full but given how tough things have been, it really is [...] The post...

Fuddruckers, Lot 10
My love for burger started from my father who is an avid fan of this classic American treat – he would take my siblings and I out for burgers at fast food chains without my mother’s knowledge. Dad introduced me to the Mushroom Swiss, a delicious beef burger with mushrooms and melted cheese and since...

2014 Year End Notes by Jien, Blog Manager of Bangsar Babe
A few months ago, it was brought to our attention by several PR practitioners that a few unscrupulous bloggers accused us of buying likes for the Bangsar Babe Facebook Page. According to them, it was “impossible” for a blogger like her to garner that many fans. I take offense to that accusation as...

Hubba Hubba at Ceylon
Hubba Hubba at Ceylon is the latest addition to the Soul Society family – a hip outlet that makes it a perfect hangout joint for those looking for a night out in town. I like Hubba Hubba as it’s not smack in the middle of Changkat’s (sometimes rowdy) crowd, but tucked away on the ground [] The...

Nathan’s Famous, IOI City Mall
I knew about Nathan’s Famous hotdogs from the news, when I read how Kobayashi ate 69 hotdogs in 10 minutes – a crazy feat. Apart from that, there’s nothing much I know about Nathan’s Famous except that it recently came to Malaysia; IOI City Mall in Putrajaya to be exact. We were in Putrajaya over...

Home Updates #2
There seems to be a terribly flu bug going around as I’ve been feeling under the weather since last Saturday. It started with sniffles then a blocked nose and sore throat, before the fever kicked in. Managed to keep it suppressed for the first two days with plenty of Vitamin C, but in the end, []...

Restoran Anuja, Pudu
Ive heard about Restoran Anuja in Pudu for quite some time that it was popular for its banana leaf rice among the office crowd around the area. Almost all my colleagues have tried it save for me, because I cant quite stomach a banana leaf rice meal and focus on work later in the...

Si Chuan Dou Hua at Parkroyal Kuala Lumpur
Sichuan cuisine is often full of surprises there is always an element of heat and it comes at you in many ways. Sometimes, it hits you hard at first bite and sometimes, it starts mild and builds up from there. Then there are occasions when it creeps up on you and that to me, [...]

Toby Mori
Two months ago, rif and I adopted Toby, a malnourished kitten Hanim found outside her apartment. He was only 4 months old then and it took him a few weeks to get used to a house environment – he is now attached to us and would greet us by the door when we come home [...]

Chicken House, Solaris Mont Kiara
In Malaysia, KFC stands for more than just Kentucky Fried Chicken. To me, it could also mean “Klang Fried Chicken” or my comfort food – Korean Fried Chicken. There’s a lot more appeal to twice fried chicken, where the skin is crispier and offers a lot more crunch in each bite. But not all Korean [...]

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the pork chop at Chuup, a cosy restaurant in Damansara Jaya. rif was determined to give this place a try even after three failed attempts on our end, but we finally did so a couple of weeks back. Alas, we arrived to discover they had to close [...]

Shucked, The Gardens Mid Valley
My first encounter with fresh oysters wasnt particularly a memorable one. It was close to a decade ago at a popular hotel buffet of that time. Rows of supposedly fresh oysters, displayed on a bed of ice with an option of lemon wedges, Tabasco sauce or thousand island dressing were hot among buffet...

Chu Yoke Weng, Penang
My first encounter of pipa duck was in a small town called Lunas and I’ve since become a fan of this dish that is both crispy and meaty. Then I discovered the duck from Chu Yoke Weng, sold in a coffeeshop in Air Itam and have been going back ever since. When a friend told [...]
