Trying out OpenSnap
I used to be a fan of the Foursquare app because that was one of my source for tips when it came to ordering food at new places. But there were little or no pictures, which got a bit boring towards the end. So my interest died. When I was introduced to OpenSnap, I found [...]

Nam Chun, Lucky Garden Bangsar
I had my first taste of Sarawak Laksa when I was 16, from Nam Chun in Lucky Garden Bangsar. It was around the time I discovered the wonders of curry laksa and my classmate recommended the Sarawak Laksa from Aunty Christina. Sadly, I didn’t enjoy it as much as curry laksa so I never ordered [...]

Sae Ma Eul BBQ, Solaris Mont Kiara
Most people, when asked about foods they crave can tell you a couple of items without hesitation. I’m like that. My list of comfort food include fried chicken, curry laksa, pasta carbonara and kimchi jjigae, and the cravings kick in when I’m anxious or highly stressed. I had incessant cravings for...

Kitchen Tales #2
Of late, rif and I try to cook at home because it’s cheaper and supposedly healthier. At least that’s how I feel because we shop for the ingredients and we usually go for quality. Also, I’ve been buying more kitchen items, like a Korean stone bowl, casserole bowl, blow torch and large white plates.

SIX, Bangsar
A well-made Negroni demands respect and contemplation. Each sip is terse to the tongue with a tinge of bitterness; a smoky-sweet finish that makes it a grown-up drink. Perfect to mark the end of the day or the beginning of a good night. But not all places serve this well – the Negroni at SIX [...]

Car Review: Citroen DS3
Over the weekend in June, I was given a Citroen DS3 to drive around and enjoy all the benefits it has to offer. While I’m no expert in cars, I do look out for certain things as a consumer when I’m in the market for one. My dad is big on SUVs and European cars, [...]

Fifty 8 Grill, Mandarin Oriental Pudong Shanghai
Imagine being told by Chef Richard Ekkebus, that you’re about to eat the best steak of your life. The (limited supply) wagyu beef from David Blackmore, the only Australian raising 100% purebred Japanese wagyu cow – the crème de la crème of wagyu beef. And Fifty 8° Grill at Mandarin Oriental Pudong...

At Ee Chinese Cuisine, mooncakes are a feature from August 4 till September 8, 2014. During the recent preview, I tucked into a sumptuous...

Fashion Updates: Peep Boutique #3
Many tend to think that I have a lot of free time because it seems so through my Facebook and Instagram updates. Truth is, I’m constantly working (this blog is also full time job for me). Managing bangsarbabe.com can be a handful because I have to edit pictures, write articles and work on social media...

Uncle Lim’s Kitchen at Pangkor Laut Resort
Hock Chew cuisine is becoming a rarity, even in Sitiawan. It’s been a while since I had good Hock Chew food at a restaurant – the best cooks are still my grandmother and mother. But I was pleasantly surprised with the food at Uncle Lim’s Kitchen when we stayed at Pangkor Laut Resort recently. The...

Sin Yoon Loong, Ipoh
I’ve always gotten my coffee fix at Nam Heong White Coffee in Ipoh until some of my readers mentioned the coffeeshop opposite – Sin Yoon Loong – serves better white coffee. During my last trip to Ipoh, I made it a point to skip my regular flat white for a cuppa joe at this famous [...]

JENERIS By Ahren, Nu Sentral Kuala Lumpur
As a regular LRT commuter, I love stopping at KL Sentral and KLCC because they are well connected and offers access to FB outlets, shops and hotels. Occasionally, I would make a pit stop at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur for a quick drink, just adjacent to the KL Sentral station. Also within walking distance...

Wai Kei Restaurant, Old Klang Road
I’ve heard good things about Wai Kei Restaurant, located along Old Klang Road. My mum’s good friends go there for lunch on a regular basis and rif who has tried it with his colleagues said the food is pretty decent. I went there on two occasions soon after – both during dinner on a weekend [...]

Fashion Updates: Corshacomo #4
Being recognised in public is something I’ve been experiencing quite often these days and it is very flattering to have people come up to me to say Hi. I value such readers and fans because these are the people who lift my blogging spirits when I’m down. This also makes me pay a bit more...

Heng Kee Bak Kut Teh at PJ Old Town
Bak Kut Teh is comfort food for many – a medicinal, aromatic broth that is laden with tender chunks of pork belly and ribs, and is best eaten with fried crullers (yau char kwai). I was never a fan of bak kut teh growing up because my parents hardly ate this and vegetable broth was [...]

Ken Rimba Shah Alam
rif and I bought our first property together – a Soho apartment – slightly over four years ago after taking a look at the floor plan and concept, and liking what we saw. At that time, we thought it was a good buy but little did we know, we missed out many important details when [...]

VCR Coffee, Kuala Lumpur
As the blog turns 7 in a few months, I recall the wonderful times I’ve had, life experiences I’ve gained along the way, friends Ive made and wonderful opportunities I’ve been presented with. Alas, it hasn’t been smooth sailing throughout. With success comes great responsibility, and not to...

Betjeman Barton, 1 Utama
I’m going to go right ahead and say it – tea has never been my kind of thing. Coffee iswhich explains why I drink the latter so often and hardly ever tea. But tea can be quite a treat especially those that are fruit or floral infused. Betjeman Barton carries more than a hundred [...]

Cava Bubbly Hi-Tea at La Bodega Lounge, Bangsar
Brunches and Hi-Teas have become a favourite of mine, given how weekends are now (very) precious to me and I want to enjoy them as best possible. On days we don’t host friends over for brunches, rif and I try to go out for leisurely brunches – often with good coffee and sometimes, with bubbly. [...]
