As a blogger and food lover, I value recommendations from fellow readers as they help the blog grow with more content. When I reviewed the Ah Wah Hokkien Mee in Taman Paramount, I received many recommendations on which were their personal favourites. Peng Yuan was one of them and I’m glad I tried it when...
A few years back, I thought BBQ ribs are best if they were pork, not beef. But not anymore. I’ve enjoyed some very good beef ribs and found them tastier compared to the swine version. When we were in Sydney last July, I decided to do lunch at Hurricane’s Grill, said to serve the best [...]
Some cafes place tables so close to each other that you cant help but listen to the conversation of your next door diner. At Nutmeg, such was the case. I couldnt help but listen to a family conversation about the right age to start dating, while a fresh graduate at the table...
I love having friends over to our place for a good brunch or dinner session. These days, I prefer to eat in than dine out, because it’s cheaper and more convenient. rif and I are getting more comfortable with hosting small parties as we do this about once a month. Here are some pictures of [...]
I remember the first time I ate gelato It was late summer in Rome, when I joined the insanely long queue to visit the Vatican City. As I waited (impatiently) in line, I spotted Old Bridge, a gelateria that is reputed to serve the best gelato in Italy. I walked across to get some and [...]
Everyone (usually) has a default place they would go to when they crave a particular comfort food. For me, it’s Senjyu in Bangsar Village whenever I crave a hearty bento. I’ve been a regular at the Bangsar outlet for more than 3 years because service has been good. It makes a difference when the staff...
When I travel to a foreign place, I make it a point to do some research and ask around for food and sightseeing recommendations. It’s something I picked up from rif, who insists on proper planning whenever we go on holidays – this saves time and spares us from unpleasant food encounters, I feel. Tsui...
House of Fishball is a well-known fish paste and noodles joint with several branches in Klang Valley. My first experience was at the Damansara Uptown outlet, quite some time ago. Back then, the food was nothing to shout about so I haven’t been back since. rif and I visited the outlet in Plaza Puchong...
Today’s fashion update is a combination of fashion and sports, featuring Puma’s range of clothes, shoes and accessories for Q3. Puma has adopted a new tagline – FOREVER FASTER – evident in the brand’s direction for 2014 and forward. Working out has always been deemed boring so we decided to...
Cupcake to me is a combination of childhood and chic. Chic because it looks good and childhood because it reminds me of the mini cakes I would buy from the bread man when I was a kid. Until today, vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting remain my favourite. It has a nostalgic appeal for me – I love...
It’s been a while since I had lunch at the food stalls in Lucky Garden, where the Chelo Appam, Yusof Tomyam and Anuar Fish Head Curry stall is. I would usually dine there after work seeing how that’s the only free time I have these days. Fortunately, a recent work meeting in Bangsar allowed me [...]
I’ve become increasingly fond of hotel staycations as they can really take your mind off things and help you unwind from a long week. It wasn’t too long ago that I enjoyed a weekend stay at Pullman Putrajaya Lakeside, said to be the first premier ‘Malaysian Icon’ Hotel. The hotel is a 20 minutes...
Casual coffee sessions are becoming a luxury these days. Often, its coffee meetings to discuss work matters or blog related matters with potential clients and sponsors. That still involves some form of work and thought process. Which is why I really treasure the coffee sessions I have with rif...
Three years ago, I would have laughed and snorted at the idea of working in corporate. Back then, my wardrobe comprised jeans, tank tops and miniskirts – all acceptable in my previous line of work. The transition from a casual work environment to a corporate one was a struggle. I didn’t know what was...
When rif and I were in Shanghai, we had coffee and dessert at the lounge in Andaz Shanghai, said to be the first of the Hyatt Andaz brand to be launched in Asia. The Andaz name means “personal style” in Urdu, driven by a philosophy that celebrates, respects and caters to guest’s personal preferences.
rif has been talking about this Japanese restaurant called Zakuro Two as his bosses enjoy throwing company dinners there. According to him, prices are reasonable and food is pretty good. It wasn’t until I had errands to run around the area that we tried this place for lunch. In all honesty, the décor...
I’m often asked by readers, friends and now colleagues – where can they find the best Hokkien mee in Klang Valley? Like street burger and nasi lemak, there is no right or wrong answer. It really depends on individual preference. Some like their Hokkien mee dry, while others want it saucy. But most would...
Spa pedicures are a treat and I was in need of one after my Taiwan vacation. The long hours of walking caused a lot of dead skin build-up around my heels and toes, so the spa pedicure treatment from My Beauty Cottage was timely. I browsed through the list of pedicure treatments available through Reservo.my...
It’s been a while since I hit the pool, let alone the beach. The last time I went to one (the beach) was Bali last year. My new bikini from Beija Beachwear was a good excuse for me to chill by the pool on Sunday. Beija Beachwear imports designer swimwear from Brazil Colombia – [...]
It’s been a while since my last visit to Menglembu Wai Sek Kai and the honey chicken stall has since grown into a full shoplot. Unlike the chaos we went through for some chicken, there was hardly a queue this time around. I reckon it’s because we were there towards their closing time. That didn’t [...]
