Travelling with a food lover often leads to interesting discoveries, especially when that person happens to drive in a foreign country. Adhi’s mum happens to be that food lover who took rif and I around when we were in Jakarta. Like my mother in-law, she’s the kind that goes all out for the sake of [...]
My in-laws have been patronising Sin Kee Restaurant for more than 30 years, and claims the place serve decent Hainanese chicken chop, sambal prawns and “mun fan”. Not surprising, rif likes coming here occasionally because he practically grew up eating the food at Sin Kee. I was introduced to this place...
As a somewhat frequent traveller, I’d like to think I’ve been to quite a few countries and cities in the world – mostly Europe since I was studying in the UK. In the past two years or so, I started travelling in South East Asia and my most recent trip was to Beijing over the [...]

One of my favourite places in Sydney is the fish market – an oyster and seafood haven. Basically, you can get the freshest catch under one roof. I went gaga when I first stepped in; from oysters to lobsters to salmon, everything looked so good. I visited the Sydney Fish Market twice – once with [...]
Ive been wanting to try the food at Thim Kee, but after more than five failed attempts (it was either closed or they were sold out for the day), I listed this place as a lost cause. rif has been here a few times with his colleagues and said the deep fried tilapia with fermented [...]
Jakartas night scene is a lot more fun compared to the one in KL. rif and I managed to check out a few spots when we were there in June. And the girls I tell yousuper hot and dressed to kill. We went to Skye Bar on the first night (similar to Marinis on 57 [...]
rif has a tendency pf showing me pictures of his meals lately, including a dinner he had at Penang One when I was away in Sydney. His char kuay teow with duck egg cost RM10.90, which I got to enjoy the following week when I returned to KL. There are two Penang One outlets [...]

rif and I enjoyed a short weekend away in Jakarta where he booked a two-night stay at the 5-star InterContinental Jakarta MidPlaza. After a long queue at the airport immigration and braving 1.5 hours of traffic, we were greeted by pleasant smiles of the hotel staff. As we got an upgrade to a Studio Suite,...
L’Oreal Malaysia sent me a set of Biolage Advanced Fiberstrong products by Matrix to try and after one month of usage, I noticed quite a difference in what they did to my hair. My hair has always been fine and weak, and breaks easily during combing. So much that my stylist takes extra precaution when [...]
Sakae Sushi used to be one of my favourite places to go to for reasonable Japanese food. When it was in Bangsar Village (now Senjyu) I dined there at least 3-4 times a month. Even back then, they were ahead of all the other Japanese chain restaurants when it came to technology and new menu [...]
I have this liking for the char kuay teow in Melaka, simply because it comes with a side of sweet sauce. This is an acquired taste for many and even rif, a Peranakan, isn’t a big fan. I’ve only tried it at Medan Selera Tengkera in Melaka and I’ve been getting my fix here whenever [...]
Our hotel in Hong Kong was a walking distance to Avenue of Stars so we checked it out the day we arrived. The Avenue of Stars pays tribute to some of Hong Kongs superstars and offers a panoramic view of Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour. rif was really excited about the life-size statue of [...]

My most recent whisky pairing was courtesy of Asiaeuro Wines Spirits, where I enjoyed The Glenrothes with a 5-course dinner. The Glenrothes is a Single Malt Whisky from Scotland, known for its Class-A...
