When our regular coffee place started serving less than mediocre coffee, I had to find a few back-ups that open till late. Rekindle in SS2 was one of them – they open till midnight. The place itself is quaint and cosy; tables come in the form of the old-school sewing machine (that paddles back and [...]
I love simple lunches during weekends – especially if it involves curry noodles of mixed rice. Growing up, my parents would take us to Lucky Garden after church service on Sunday. When I got married, rif and I continued that ritual; but instead of the same coffeeshop, we explored a few other coffeeshops...
Imagine an experience that gives you relieve from urban pressures and the force of gravity. To allow to you do absolutely nothing but meditate. That experience comes in the form of a floatation tank – something I tried at BE Urban Wellness recently. The tank isolates you from the outside world. It is...
Dim sum meals are fun, adventurous and can be economical, depending on who does the ordering. You get to order as much or as little as you want, and pay for the food accordingly. I love the idea of dim sum weekends, where loved ones gather around the round table and tuck into baskets of [...]
I’ve always been more drawn to Korean fashion – the clothes are more feminine and the cutting seems to fit me better. As such, I’m happy to announce this collaboration between Bangsar Babe and online fashion store, Corshacomo. Corshacomo started in 2013 and sells clothing and accessories imported from...
There’s nothing I love more than a good Sunday brunch. Throw in bubbly into the equation and that’s even better. Most brunches in KL are priced from RM200 onwards, and that excludes tax and service charge. F Buffalo’s Sunday Brunch Buffet cost RM99++ per person inclusive of free flow mimosa. Depending...
One of the many things I love to eat in Ipoh is Nasi Kandar Yong Suan, also known as Nasi Ganja. The term ganja came about because die hard fans claim that the rice is incredibly addictive. Housed in Yong Suan Restoran, the queue can be very long depending on what time you get there. [...]
One of the highlights of my Shanghai trip was my visit to Farine Boulangerie, located in Wukang Lu, former French Concession. I liked the area – the buildings showcased a range of architecture, from French Renaissance, Art Deco, English and Mediterranean, surrounded by large trees. Farine is said to serve...
Sang Kee Restaurant serves really tasty wat tan hor; possibly the best I’ve tried thus far in Kuala Lumpur. I’m talking back to basics – Cantonese fried kuay teow topped with seafood, pork slivers, liver and redolent of wok hei. One bite and I knew I struck gold. But let me give you a heads [...]
In November 2010, I started a small collaboration with Wei Ni of Peep Boutique, where she would sponsor outfits for my monthly food video blogs. Back then, I only had 500 Facebook fans and 30% of my blog traffic today. Still, she chose to give it a shot. We’ve become friends ever since and she [...]
Way Modern Chinois isn’t your typical Chinese restaurant. The name Way in Mandarin means “unique” or “one and only” – serving contemporary fine Chinese cuisine in a chic setting. The entrance itself makes a good conversation starter; designed to resemble a lift door. Way’s interior features...
The burger scene is Klang Valley is growing – every week or so, a new joint opens. It’s definitely more exciting to observe the growth of burger outlets compared to foreign currencies, although the latter would be highly beneficial to my bank account should I make wise investments. Sometimes, it’s the...
Neubodi officially opened a flagship store in Mid Valley on 29th March 2014 and I managed to pop by for a quick tour. Even managed to pick up the Active Flexi Bra for my mum and two sisters there was a 50% discount for the 2nd item, storewide. Neubodi F063, Mid Valley Megamall Facebook [...]
I used to think that a spa is just a spa. You make an appointment, go in, get your massage and then leave. But The Spa at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai is a holistic journey. The signature therapies and beauty treatments are a rejuvenation for the body and mind. The Spa’s interior design boasts...
Ever since I tried the Kelantan style ayam percik at Yati and Restoran Jaring, Id be on a lookout for it whenever I dine at a nasi campur stall. Theres just something about the sticky sweet yet spicy sauce so addictive, I tell you. At Hayaki Cafe in Damansara Uptown, they serve...
A colleague recommended the claypot crabs with glass noodles at Rasa Lain, when rif and I stopped for two nights in Ipoh during our little roadtrip in January this year. Alas, Rasa Lain was not open that day so we tried Different Taste instead. Apparently, there are three restaurants serving claypot crabs...
There a lot to like about Ratha Raub, the latest chain of Raub’s famous fish head curry and chicken curry in Damansara Uptown. The bold use of red and attractive food photography gives the restaurant a modern look and feel, and service is helpful. But what I like best about Ratha Raub is their curry. [...]
Juice detox isnt new to me Ive been doing it regularly for the past 10 years or so. Ever since my mum started her juice habit. Growing up with her juices has helped with my complexion and weight control. We drink juice three times a day. Sometimes more. La Juiceria offers something...
As I grow older, I reminisce about the things my parents did for me as a child. Like my daddy coming to school to give me my recess time treat – fried egg sandwich with a slather of marmite. It was actually a secret swap with my mother’s alfalfa sprouts sandwich; one that I was [...]
As the coffee culture grows in Malaysia, more cafes (and coffee drinkers) become part of the artisanal coffee movement where each detail of the coffee journey – crème, art, froth and aroma – matters. In Solaris Mont Kiara, LewisGene is said to serve good coffee and café food in a laid-back setting.
