Artisan Roast HQ
I’ve lamented about the lack of good coffee around the office so much that these days, I have a new found tolerance for mediocre coffee from the coffee chain downstairs. Call it desperation, haha! Also, this makes me appreciate good coffee whenever I get to have some. Artisan Roast HQ is currently one of...

Tosca, The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong
Just before flying back to Kuala Lumpur, I managed a sumptuous 6-course lunch at Tosca, The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong where spectacular views and décor come together. The restaurant itself was a grand statement – high ceilings, stately fountains and majestic chandeliers, topped with excellent service.

Urbano e Fresco, Solaris Dutamas
“As long as there’s pasta, cream and cheese, my world is bright again,” I said to the waiter at Urbano e Fresco. I had such a horrible day and could use a big plate of pasta to wallow in self-pity. So that was what I got – a generous portion of Marinara Pasta (RM28.90) with [...]

Rayong Thai, Taman Danau Desa
rif and I stumbled upon Rayong Thai by chance when our initial plan for Korean didn’t follow through as the restaurant was closed for renovation. Rather than drive out in search for food (we got a good parking spot that’s why), we decided to explore other options around the area – hence, Rayong Thai.

Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles, Taman Danau Desa
I don’t remember when I started liking fish head noodles my mum being a big fan, would buy a packet home for me whenever she eats it. I think the word ‘fish’ put me off as a kid so this wasn’t something I would go for, growing up. Now that I’m older, I’ve become quite [...]

Bangsarbabe.com turns 6!
6 years ago, I published my very first post on www.bangsarbabe.com. I had mixed feelings about it as I wasn’t sure if I wanted to own a blog, an online diary. Today, Bangsar Babe is my proudest achievement to date. It’s been 6 amazing years and I’m glad to be able to share this with [...]

Lim Fried Chicken, SS14 Subang Jaya
There’s something about fried chicken that I find very difficult to resist; it’s my all-time must have. When I’m feeling shitty, KFC and KFC is the place to be. By the way, the latter KFC stands for Klang Fried Chicken, which is more awesome than KFC itself. I’ve been wanting to try Lim Fried...

El Cerdo, Kuala Lumpur
El Cerdo in Kuala Lumpur is a pork lover’s dream, boasting a “nose to tail” porcine experience. It’s been on rif’s to-eat-list for quite a while and we only managed to pop by for dinner not too long ago. The Roasted Suckling Pig (RM188++ per half piglet) is a popular order here – almost every...

Lim Kee, Old Klang Road
I remember going to Lim Kee as a kid – my uncle would take my cousins and I there after church service at Full Gospel Assembly. Back then, it was a shack with zinc roof and cracked cement floor, and I wasn’t that fussy an eater. Lim Kee has sinced moved to a bigger and [...]

October Fashion Updates: Mori Pin
When I started doing more fashion updates, little did I know I was going to learn so much about style from my (amazing) sponsors. Mori Pin has been stocking up on clothes – mostly from Korea and Bangkok – and I love what I’ve been wearing so far. I went to F Buffalo’s 3rd Anniversary lunch [...]

Sparkalite ‘4Cs’ Sunday Brunch at InterContinental Kuala Lumpur
Bubbly and oysters make one of my favourite indulgences and Sunday brunches are when I look forward to a crack at oysters on the half shell and several glasses of sparkling. The Pacific oysters (also known as Coffin Bay oysters) I tucked into at the Sparkalite Sunday Brunch left me wanting more – they...

Janes and Hooch, Beijing
Janes and Hooch in Beijing is possibly one of the best bars in Beijing, oozing Chicago-style appeal beyond its unassuming entrance. The décor is tastefully glamorous – exposed brick and wood panelled walls, polished cement floors and lighting so dim, it feels like I’ve stepped into a different era. The...

Neubodi: Cash Your Bras for A Cause
Last year, I lost a relative to breast cancer while another two are survivors. As such, I’m very particular about regular check-ups – I do one once a year. I believe the best way to fight breast cancer is through early detection. This includes breast self-examinations, clinical breast examinations and...

Kronenbourg 1664 was launched slightly more than 2 years ago and has become one of my favourite beers to drink. As the only beer that uses Strisselspalt hops – a French aroma hop from Alsace – Kronenbourg 1664 boasts citrusy and floral notes, on top of a delicate yet well-balanced aroma. The brand’s...

During my last visit to Melaka, I was quite peeved about having to wait one hour for my Nyonya laksa fix at my regular spot – Baba Low. I was craving laksa again when I was in Melaka so rif took me to a different stall recommended by his friend. According to him, Yung Lai [...]
