If there’s one thing that differentiates Jien and I, it would be our sense of adventure when it comes to food. While we tend to go for similar dishes, our choice of restaurants are for from the same. Wizards at Tribeca is one of them — he’s been wanting to try the food there ever [] The post...
If you’re visiting Malaysia, a meal of banana leaf rice is a must if you want to experience as much Malaysian cuisine as possible. This is one of my favourite things to eat, evident from the numerous IG stories I’ve posted of it. BananaBro in Berjaya Times Square claims to serve authentic banana leaf...
I’m not one to order salads at a restaurant because I often picture a big pile of green with hardly anything on top. But ever since I started yoga, I’m more inclined to hearty salad bowls with fiber, protein and fillings – Power Salad. A proper power salad is packed with nutrients, healthy fats,...
These days, writing consistently is a challenge for me as I juggle between my new role as a mother, the creative head of my marketing agency and the author of this blog. There’s plenty I want to write about but finding a couple of hours to spare isn’t easy. But here I am today – [] The post...
I’ve always pegged the Sheraton brand as a business hotel – based on the city hotels I’ve stayed at for work and leisure in the past. But my stay at Sheraton Petaling Jaya Hotel changed the way I perceive the Sheraton brand; personalised, fuss-free and family oriented. Jien and I spent the long...
Burger Lobster started out as a pub in Mayfair, London, where only three items were available – lobster, lobster roll and burger. I first tried Burger Lobster at their Leicester Square outlet in 2015, when they were at their peak and queues were insanely long. Three years later, I was told the...
I’ve been thinking long and hard about writing this but a few of my close friends have asked for me to speak up about this matter. Our experience with our daughter’s paediatrician has been far from pleasant – painful even. Because Jien and I didn’t have much guidance on this matter (pregnancy,...
My sisters have this theory when eating dim sum – you eat in a group of threes (six, nine, twelve, fifteen and so on). That’s because each basket comes with three morsels, so if you’re dining in a group of four, the equation won’t make sense. In their eyes at least. For me, the number [] The...
If I’m ever forced to choose one makeup product for the rest of my life, it would definitely be something brow related. I’m not blessed with nice thick eyebrows so it’s important that I know how to draw them on nicely. And whether or not you’re blessed (with nice brows), knowing how to draw a...
We live in a world that places great emphasis on coffee; from social appeal right down to its craftsmanship. Many of us seek out the best places for a satisfying cup of coffee and some seek the means to making a satisfactory cuppa at the comfort of their own home. In the past, the art [] The post...
Mid-Autumn Festival is a big occasion in Malaysia, Singapore and China where hotels and brands compete to showcase their mooncake packaging design and interesting flavours. It is that time of the year where people flock promotion booths placing mooncake orders for gifts and personal consumption. I’ve had...
Tokyo is one of my favourite cities to visit – from the abundance of good food, shopping options and local attractions. If you ask me about my must-eats in Tokyo, I’d definitely say monjayaki! Monjayaki is known as another version of okonomiyaki, but with different fillings. “Monja Street” in...
Fried chicken takes me to a happy place — a childhood favourite that I often indulged in at my grandma’s. The aroma of batter as it dips into bubbling hot oil, the juicy texture of the chicken and the seasoning, all coming together as one. I like it so much, friends joke that I “will [] The...
Weekend brunching is a pretty big deal for us KL-ites; a time to get together with family and friends, or to nurse a hangover from the night before. And brunch is usually divided into two categories – Western brunching of eggs, bacon and coffee, or Chinese brunching of dim sum and tea. I was pretty...
As part of the Gastronomic Journey 2.0 campaign, I’ve been exploring the FB offerings at Avenue K Shopping Mall to find ten food outlets you should explore when you’re in this shopping mall. It’s been a fun experience going around the mall and trying highlight dishes from respective outlets. I...
As a foodie, I find it challenging to eat cleaner after a yoga session – all the more when the yoga centre is right smack in the middle of Desa Sri Hartamas’ food haven. Sometimes in my savasana, I can literally hear meat sizzles from the Yakiniku place next door. And as I walk towards [] The...
Nothing unites us Malaysians more than food – we’re constantly talking about what to eat, where to eat and whom to eat with. From local delights to global cuisine, KL is an attraction for foodies wanting to satisfy their cravings. With over 40 food establishments under one roof, Avenue K celebrates the...
Korean fried chicken is one of the most indulgent things to eat in my opinion – crisp, juicy and (sometimes) saucy, you’ll want more. The best part about Korean fried chicken is that they are fried twice, sometimes thrice so it’s takes the fried bird to a whole new level. When I heard about Chicken...
I’ve been catching up on a lot of Netflix during my confinement month – mostly watching Korean dramas and drooling over the amount of soju and grilled meats involved. Jien probably sensed a Korean food craving in me, hence his choice of dinner venue; Apple Samgyupsal in Taman Desa. As the same suggests,...
My in-laws are adventurous when it comes to food – they are constantly exploring new places to eat, much more than Jien and I do these days. In a way, they have become the food radar for this blog; updating me on their new discovery weekly. Lubuk Bangku in Bangsar is one of those places [] The post...
