Thai food seems to be all the craze in Klang Valley all the sudden, with a few new additions sprouting up everywhere. Of these, Hwan by Chakri (obviously run by the same Chakri Palace people) stands out with a slightly different concept. The owner created this concept after her visit to Thailand. There she met…

Nook’s MIGF 2014 Menu
It’s always a pleasure receiving invitations from Aloft Kuala Lumpur be it a review session, or music event. You might have notice that I am there quite often (several times a month, in fact) and that is because I always enjoyed their great hospitality. A makan session at Nook, especially, is something I won’t miss….
Sunday Curry Tiffin Lunch, Colonial Cafe @ Hotel Majestic
I’ve long heard about the Colonial Cafe at the beautiful Hotel Majestic but yet to pay a visit until couple of Sundays ago when we were invited to dine and enjoy their Sunday Curry Tiffin Lunch. Sunday Tiffin is basically synonymous with over indulging of curries, vegetables and rice. This tradition is believed to begun…
Cape Mentelle Wine Pairing Degustation Lunch, Tanzini.
I usually have a rule of not drinking before the sunset. But that rule was well and truly broken couple of weeks ago at a very special wine pairing degustation lunch hosted by Cape Mentelle. I’ve always been fond of wines of Margaret River, so this wasn’t something I would want to miss. So despite…
Estilo Spanish Tapas Bar & Charcoal Grill, Publika
Publika in Solaris Dutamas is blessed with a wide variety of eating spots and one of my favourite would have to be Estilo, which specialises in Spanish Tapas and doubles as a great drinking spot with their extensive menu of sangrias and wines. It’s part of The Social group which also runs El Meson. Interestingly…

Mediteca, Fraser Place: New Menu
There are only a few Italian/Mediterranean restaurants that I would happily return to, and Mediteca is one of them. The last time I was there, I only got to sample a small fraction of their menu, so I was elated to receive an invitation to enjoy their new menu items. It’s always heartening to see…
Ramadhan Buffet at Essence, Sheraton Imperial KL
The second Ramadhan Buffet we sampled was none other than Essence, Sheraton Imperial. This wasn’t my first time at Essence and in fact I was pretty happy with my previous visit several months ago. Apart from the usual offerings, Chef Faizal and his team has put together a special buka puasa menu with an exiciting…
Ramadhan Buffet @ Latest Recipe, Le Meridien KL
Where has the time gone? One blink of eye and it’s only 2 days to the start of Ramadhan. I had the pleasure to attend 2 Ramadhan buffet previews this year and coincidentally both belonged to my favourite hotel group: Starwood. The first one was Latest Recipe @ Le Meridien, and that would be our…
Favola, Le Meridien KL
Favola is a beautiful restaurant located on the 8th floor of Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur. Blessed with a rustic Italian setting complete with Venetian face masks, plush red chairs, patterned floor tiles, this restaurant is perfect for a romantic date in the evenings. During the day it’s much more relaxed as the restaurant is blessed…
