The long weekend
rif and I planned a trip to Hat Yai with his parents during the Raya break but we cancelled our plans on the morning of our trip due to the bombing in Betong the evening before. The news made me uneasy and unable to sleep and we left KL for north at 5am. Traffic was [...]

Spa Village at Pangkor Laut Resort
Spa sessions are a luxury which I reserve for special occasions or when I get extra moolah from freelance work. They are also a luxury I enjoy when I do hotel reviews, not all the time but most of the time. I’ve been fortunate to try some really great spa massages, including this recent indulgence at...

Kim Lian Kee Hokkien Mee, Petaling Street
When I started working in the city centre, Petaling Street was a 10-minute walk from the office and Kim Lian Kee was like a canteen for my colleagues and I. We would walk there for lunch at least once a week for a year and a half. Each quarter, there would be a price increase. [...]

Tom’s Dim Sum, Taman Desa
Dan Dan Mian is a Sichuan dish which I enjoyed in Shanghai early this year. It was one of my favourite things to eat in the city because of the mala sensation from the spicy sauce. I didnt indulge in the dan dan noodles from street peddlars as Ive been warned about potential food poisoning,...

Neubodi: Suit Up Contour Collection
I was never a fan of shapewear because the ones I owned were too stiff and uncomfortable to wear. One of my worst memories of a girdle was how it compressed my body, which caused tingling and numbness around my outer thigh region. A good shapewear should minimise bulges on any part of the body [...]

Rocky Restaurant in Bangsar
I’ve lived in Bangsar almost all my life – having moved into the neighbourhood when I was two – hence the name “Bangsar Babe”. The area has changed tremendously ever since; shops come and go, and some relocated to a different street. Like Devi’s Corner. Rocky Restaurant is one of the few shops...

Jalan Imbi Hokkien Mee at Restoran Win Heng Seng
I heard about the Hokkien mee at Imbi Road from several people and have driven past the stall many times when I use that route to head back to Bangsar. The stall doesn’t have a name but it’s located at Win Heng Seng, also known for its (expensive) pork ball noodles during the day. Most [...]

Warung Leko, The Curve
During my work trips to Jakarta, I’ve grown to really enjoy nasi padang as well as ayam penyet. Warung Leko serves a good version of the latter and an even better iga (beef ribs) penyet. The ribs were so good – crispy on the outside, generously seasoned and falling of the bone. Absolutely lip-smacking...

KGB Mid Valley
When I first heard KGB was going to open an outlet in Mid Valley, I was excited. Because that meant they would be open every day and 7 days a week during mall hours. Not that I eat burgers every day but I do crave for one every now and then – often during odd [...]

Homemade lasagne for our potluck lunch
The kitchen is a woman’s territory, so they say. Most men would leave the kitchen area to their wife but my other half takes on a different approach – the kitchen ALSO belongs to him. Bad because I wanted control in the kitchen and he pushes his way around. Good because he cooks for me. [...]

Pudu Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee
Several of my readers recommended this hokkien mee stall in Jalan Pudu when I blogged about Ah Wah in Taman Paramount not too long ago, and I finally did so last week. It wasn’t difficult to find the place – the stall doesn’t have a name but it is located next to Fei Por Chicken [...]

Coffee Stain by Joseph, Solaris Dutamas
When I order a latte or flat white these days, I expect to be handed a cup of coffee with pretty rosetta top, made with black-brown espresso foam and steamed milk froth. Sometimes, I get one shaped like a heart and the more creative baristas would make me their rendition of coffee art. Coffee Stain [...]

“Buka Puasa” at Mosaic, Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur
When eating lemang, a good beef rendang is important as it is what makes the experience worth while. I used to love buying lemang from the stalls along the highway on the east coast, but occasionally, the beef rendang is tough and hardly fragrant. The lemang and beef rendang by Chef Kamarudin of Mandarin...

Bits Bobs, Ipoh
My childhood in Bangsar wasn’t much fun, as I recall. It was filled with ballet classes, music classes, art classes and tuitions, as my parents had big dreams for their four children. Plus, Bangsar was (and still is) a prime neighbourhood so my parents didn’t allow us to wander around without...

Restoran City Star, Aman Suria
Changes in food plans annoy me as they force me out of my comfort zone to make replacement decisions on the spot. While it isn’t a matter of life and death, it’s not something I fancy doing because that’s what I do at the office. But a decision had to be made that night – [...]

When in Jakarta, eat Nasi Padang!
In my recent two work travels to Jakarta, I ate a fair bit of nasi padang; a feast of assorted meats, fish and vegetables, eaten with white rice and fiery sambal. I dined at Sari Indah, Sari Ratu and Garuda, where the nasi padang is served “hidang” style. The dishes are laid out on the table and...

Topshelf, TTDI
There’s plenty of potential in Topshelf TTDI, a neighbourhood French restaurant with quirky industrial-style touches, colourful paintings and an open kitchen. It was my first visit and I didn’t know what to expect. rif and I were invited to dinner at Topshelf, to sample some items from the new menu...

The weekend that was
Went on a mini roadtrip to Ipoh where I celebrated turning a year older with rif. Naza Malaysia was super kind to let me drive the Citroen DS3 which was ideal since it was just the two of us and very little baggage. rif booked us a suite at a boutique hotel which I’ve been [...]

Ramadhan Buffet at Latest Recipe, Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur
Latest Recipe at Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur serves good buffet and remains one of my favourite buffet restaurants in Kuala Lumpur till this day. I’ve always enjoyed the spread here – they offer really tasty Indian food, a live pasta station featuring handmade noodles, local delights, fresh seafood,...

Fashion Updates: Corshacomo #3
The older generation often tells me to be grateful that I have a good career and that I shouldn’t complain too much. I can never agree with how baby boomers like my parents think (and how they view career progression) because that kind of mentality just doesn’t apply to Gen-Y. It’s difficult to demand...
