With so many burger joints mushrooming in Klang Valley, rif and I gave in to this burger craze at Crayon Burger. The décor was basic, with colourful art on white walls. I was there on a Sunday and was thankful I didn’t have to queue. To place an order, refer to the blackboard near the [...]
Coffee session is a thing rif and I enjoy doing, especially during the weekends. Even when we’re on a vacation, we still try to get a cup of coffee or two, just because. In Kuta Bali, we checked out Dirt Java Coffee at Beachwalk Bali during our free and easy time at Sheraton Kuta Bali [...]
Svago boasts a stunning interior, with one of the best views of the city skyline and a beautiful view of the KLCC lake and park from its balcony. A lot of planning and thought has been put into the design, colours and textures of the place, and I quite liked the eccentric outcome from use [...]

In Bali two weeks ago, I was invited to attend the 2nd anniversary party of W Retreat Spa Bali in Seminyak and had a great time there. I’ve been to many of such events in Kuala Lumpur, but the ambiance in Bali seemed different. More upbeat, I would say. After the party, we headed [...]

Cheras is an area I’ve gotten to know a little bit better over the past few months and I’ve enjoyed the food hunt around the area very much. Of all the places rif and I explored, here are the few I thought left a good impression on us. Tong Sui in Taman Muda A Cheras [...]
Sit, please sit. What would you like to eat? I love when people are friendly and easy to deal with. Such pleasant encounters are rare these days, especially when you’re dining at a hawker stall. These people are often too busy to give a damn so ordering and eating can be a mechanical...
The old Silver Spoon in Kepong was one of the few restaurants rif and I frequented as a couple. That was almost 10 years ago and prices were very reasonable. While many other Italian restaurants cropped up in the recent years, none measured up to Silver Spoon in terms of history and memories. Except maybe...
Met up with Ben and some friends he got to know (when he backpacked to Van Vieng) for dinner last night and I envy them. So carefree and full of energy, and all go with the flow. Literally. I wished I could be like these people – not having to plan my next course in [...]

Of late, I’ve taken a liking to Malay nasi campur, especially when the stall serves ayam kampung. Nasi Ayam Kampung at Medan Selera Veladrome in Cheras is very popular, and while there are a few stalls selling ayam kampung, I like the selection at Gerai No.3 best. This stall closes on Tuesdays, and when...
