I have a thing for Hot Pot. It’s the satisfaction of dunking fresh ingredients into boiling hot broth and then just enjoy the ingredients at its plainest state (well, with the help of some condiments), and it’s also a great way to bond. It goes without saying the ingredients need to be very fresh, and…
Grilled Eggplant with Ponzu
Bliss, is when you have found a life partner who is just excited as you are to go on food adventures of different kinds. I’m lucky that Kevin and I seem to agree most of the time on our meal choices, and that has brought us some memorable dining experiences, some are hits and some…
Georgian Wine Tasting with Eurasia Trading
In my lifetime of wine drinking, I have to say I’ve never had the pleasure of tasting Georgian Wines. So it was an eye-opening (palate opening, more accurately) experience when I attended an intimate wine tasting session organised by Eurasia Trading at The Barn, Mont Kiara. Little did I know, that the wine of Georgia…
Feel Hydrated with Cetaphil
[Advertorial] One of my ongoing skin concerns has always been dry skin. If I’m not careful and vigilant enough, rest assured my ezcema will come out and play. To counter and prevent that, I make sure I hydrate myself enough (that also protect my voice) and drink plenty of water per day, and I always…
Memory Makers at Traders Hotel
Traders Hotel carries a lot of fun memories for me, from the time I was still a tourist til now. And it’s fitting that they have recently launched a selection of new flavours called “Memory Makers”, a series of new dishes and drinks created based on guests preferences over time. The Memory Makers are made…
Blue House Steamboat Restaurant
Taking over the locally well-known Damansara Village Steamboat Restaurant (owned by Patrick Teoh), is Blue House Steamboat Restaurant. The change of ownership occurred somewhere around late last year when the lease ended for Damansara Village. Signboard’s swapped to a bright blue one, the interior refreshed (part of it rebuilt), but the attraction is still Seafood, prepared…
Spring Reunion at Tai Zi Heen, Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre
This is the last of Chinese new Year menu review series and it’s none other than the very elegant Tai Zi Heen at the recently rebranded Pullman Kuala Lumpur City Centre (formerly Prince Hotel). I’ve previously dined at Tai Zi Heen before and was suitably impressed with what they had to offer, and this year’s…
Salted Egg Yolk Cookies (CNY)
It’s exactly one week to go until Chinese New Year! Have you bought all the necessary things (by necessary I mean mostly food) yet? Some of you have been baking up a frenzy, no doubt. Since we finally got a decent oven for this household, I’ve been hardworking enough to churn out some Chinese New…

China Treasures @ KLGCC Chinese New Year Menu
Has it really been a year since I stepped into China Treasures at KLGCC? Over the year so many things have changed, but one thing remained that I still work at KLGCC’s Connoisseur’s Lounge from time to time (when I’m not busy doing corporate gigs that is). Chef Eddie Chua also still heads the kitchen…
