I used to travel to Singapore in search of good coffee. But now no longer. Over the last year or so, more than 30 new cafes and coffee bars have emerged, each with its own coffee craft. The difference between a cup of coffee from these coffee places and famous coffee chains is evident. Flavours [...]
One of my latest pet peeves is when people come up to me (while I’m at work) and ask for good food places to explore. I think the basis of my annoyance isn’t because they asked, but because I haven’t had much time to explore given my current work schedule. It’s frustrating really, when the luxury...
Naughty Nuri’s serves some of the best pork ribs I’ve eaten – an incredibly tasty combination of Balinese seasoning and pork, charred and glistening. I went to the Batu Belig outlet with a dear friend for lunch when I visited the island, and was so tempted to order a second slab. The restaurant is...
During my first two days in Shanghai, I often ate alone as rif had to work. I sat by the window at Farine Bakery and ordered with an excellent pain au chocolat and hot latte. And at The Commune Social, I choose to sit by the kitchen bar where I got to watch Head Chef [...]
When my in-laws spoke about this really good tau fu fa stall in Bukit Cina, I made it a point to visit to try it for myself. The stall has been in business for more than 60 years and is known for its tau fu fa with ginger syrup. Over time, the business expanded into [...]
My parents have specific preferences when it comes to food – mum wants it wholesome and organic while dad likes Chinese food, especially roast duck and char siew. Both of which mum disapproves but allows him a “cheat day” once a week. I never understood why dad (and also my in-laws) likes going to...
Massages, manicures and pedicures are things I look forward to after a long week at the office. But I dislike how difficult it is to get a slot for my favourite massage and wax parlour these days – appointments are often full or at an inappropriate time, no one answers the phone or I just [...]

My Taiwan vacation has been funfilled with plenty of sightseeing and good food. Along with that, Wei Ni of Peep Boutique gave me plenty of outfits to bring along for my trip. Am feeling pretty homesick at the moment. I miss my family, friends and Teddy. And Im desperate for a bowl of curry...
In my 5 days in Shanghai, I found the city a melting pot of food culture. Restaurants and hotel kitchens are lead by renowned chefs and entrepreneurs from all over the world eager to serve you all kinds of cuisine in the most authentic way possible. Lets just say I ate very well in [...]
Apgujeong is a Korean restaurant located above Ole Ole Bali in Solaris Dutamas, and it comes recommended by a Korean friend. She took rif and I to dinner recently and we found the food quite commendable. The menu is large, but the servers make it less intimidating, and they are quick, even insistent, in...
Wantan mee isnt something I crave unlike curry mee. But when theres good wantan mee, its a whole different story. Two of my favourite places for this particular noodle dish is Meng Shiang and Uncle Meng both in Cheras. We happened to be in Seapark one night, when rif and I...
If you follow my Facebook and/or Instagram, you would know that Im on a vacation in Taiwan. rif has been wanting to go to Taiwan since 2 years ago and he finally convinced me to go early this year. To be honest, I dont get why he wants to go to Taiwan when he cant [...]
Bak Kut Teh is tastier when the weather is gloomy or when its pouring. Theres nothing like a bubbling hot claypot of herbal soup with tender pork ribs and pork belly, I feel. It was raining heavily when rif and I left Putrajaya, after a weekend excursion and we were in need of a pick [...]
Massages have become an indulgence for me – I go for one at least twice a month. Sometimes more, depending on the stress at work and my timetable. Most of the time, I get a massage when the back of my neck feels extremely strained from the hours facing the computer. I was feeling a [...]
Fried chicken has always been one of my favourite things to eat. Theres just something irresistible about it, that I would crave for it ever so often. In Shanghai, I had a taste of the famous fried chicken at The Public, an American diner that serves authentic southern cuisine. Chicken Waffles...
There’s a lot of hype on Mikey’s New York Pizza, the latest pizza joint in Bangsar Baru. The pizzas are considerably larger than an average pizza, cooked in extremely hot ovens until the crust is gloriously crispy. The amount of people raving about Mikey’s pizzas got me intrigued, that I had to try it...
I learnt of this pretty good wantan mee stall in Buntong (Ipoh) from my brother in-law, who suggested we try it for dinner when rif and I were in Ipoh not too long ago. The stall is located in a residential area and gets quite crowded during peak hours – we waited a good 30 [...]
One of the few places I enjoyed in Shanghai was Tianzifang, also known as Taikang Road. Tianzifang houses bar, artsy cafes, craft shops, design studios, galleries and boutique supported by tourists, expats, designers and yuppies. The architecture itself is something to marvel at; a marriage between...
Hits Mrs has a lot more to offer than just food – it is an experience that combines modern cuisine, classic ambiance and a whole lot of passion. This spot in Bangsar focuses on creative European cuisine, helmed by Chef Keith Choong. The restaurant sits on the ground floor and the bar, upstairs. As...
