Kuriya, Bangsar Shopping Centre
I remember my first sea urchin experience – at the now defunct Hajime in Jalan Damai – and it wasn’t a pleasant one. But the sea urchin prepared by Chef Nakagawa Takahiro at Kuriya in Bangsar Shopping Centre was so intense, subtle yet complex, it was almost ethereal. Kuriya, which stands for...

Chelo Appam, Bangsar
As I write my last post for 2013, I did a bit of thinking and reflection for the year that it was. 2013 was a successful year for the Bangsar Babe brand (read Jien’s year-end notes here) but it was a rather challenging year for me, career and relationships wise. But there are constants in [...]

2013 Year End Notes by Jien, Blog Manager of Bangsar Babe
I always wondered what it would be like if I hadn’t been in my line of work today and worked in the “creative” industry instead. I have always believed that I am somewhat creative. Being the blog manager for bangsarbabe.com has given me the avenue to explore that “road not taken”. Who knows one...

Hello December!
As things start to slow down at work, I’m finding a bit of time to reflect and plan some goals for 2014. I also managed to find time over the weekend for a photoshoot and got some pretty good shots taken. Leading up to Christmas, I picked up some really pretty dresses from Mori Pin [...]

Opera Bombana, Beijing
In Beijing, I ate very well. I had a good friend who took me around during my stay and he made sure I had plenty to eat and drink. He even brought me to Opera Bombana, a new restaurant concept by the renowned Chef Umberto Bombana in Parkview Green Mall. Unlike 8 ½ Otto e [...]

La Cucina, Pullman Bangsar
La Cucina at Pullman Bangsar serves one of the best Italian meals I’ve tried in Klang Valley. I say that because the chef managed to incorporate the “flavours of Italy” into his dishes, without even using pork. Now that’s something. The menu has a good selection per category and I got to try a few...

Kee’s Creampuff, Bangsar
I was pretty excited to learn that Kee’s Creampuff has come to Bangsar and around the area I love hanging out at – Bangsar Baru. Located just above House of Frankfurt (same row at McDonald’s and Pelita Nasi Kandar), Kee’s Creampuff shares a space with Mahogany, a music school were I learnt the...

Tien Yin Seafood Restaurant, Sungai Burong
Did another weekend excursion to Sungai Burong recently and instead of our usual seafood place, we tried another one called Restaurant Tien Yin, the first restaurant on your right once you drive into Sungai Burong. There isn’t much of a crowd but most people who come here will order food like there’s no...

Festive Menu at Mezze Bar Bistro
The fettuccine carbonara at Mezze is one of the best I’ve eaten and I would order it every time I’m there. That said, this bistro also serves dishes inspired by the flavours of France, Spain and Italy, evident in this year’s festive menus, based on Chef Yves’ fun and festive interpretation of choice...

Christmas Menu at The Press Room
Not everybody appreciates steak tartare but I for one, enjoy it. Apart from pate, steak tartare is another item I cannot resist ordering whenever I spot one on the menu. One of my favourite places for steak tartare is The Press Room in Bangsar Shopping Centre and I would have it with a glass of [...]

Top 10 Food to Eat in Pudu
I’ve been meaning to complete my Top 10 Food List in Pudu by October this year but work and our new home came into picture, so it was put on hold. Nonetheless, I’m glad I got to complete this before year end. Pudu is considered a food haven by many locals in Kuala Lumpur. You [...]

Keratin Steam Care Treatment by L’Oreal Professionnel
I recently tried the Keratin Steam Care Treatment by L’Oreal Professionnel, said to help give my hair a natural shine, prevent breakage and control frizz. Steampod is the world’s first hair smoothing iron that uses steam rather than heat, so it doesn’t damage the hair cuticle. Also, the steam opens up...

Festive Menus for 2013
Ive been receiving a number of invites for Christmas dinner reviews but was only able to attend these four due to time constraint. This year, I noticed pricing has become more affordable and restaurants are offering more than just turkey. Many outlets offer set meals which is ideal if youre...

Nasi Lemak Warong Sinarnor
*reposting this 2009 article since it got lost during blog migration. During my recent stint in the Miss World Malaysia 2009 pageant, I was asked this odd question by the panel of judges – “Name us one dish that is truly Malaysian.” It was after all a beauty pageant, so I was not prepared to [...]

Hotel Review: Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel
rif and I enjoyed a 2-night stay at the Renaissance Hong Kong Harbour View Hotel recently, where we were given a room with a breath-taking view of the Victoria Harbour. This 5-star hotel is situated on the waterfront just five minutes from the CBD and Wan Chai MTR station. Star Ferry is just a few [...]

Seng Lee, Jalan Batai
I’ve never been a fan of Seng Lee at Jalan Batai although my parents enjoy going there. The food here is overpriced and not particularly tasty, at least to me. But we’ve been eating here since I was a little girl and seeing how the coffeeshop isn’t going to be around in 2014, I might [...]
