Can you believe another year has passed and another Ramadhan month is just around the corner? That’s right, this is the time where most hotels would be promoting their Ramadhan buffets and I was recently invited to Renaissance to check out what they have to offer. This year, you can choose to tantalize your tastebuds with…

R.AGE Food Fight: Ayam Masak Merah with Cauli “Nasi Tomato”
What’s red in colour, delicious, and also uniquely Malaysian? Ayam Masak Merah, a Kedahan dish commonly seen at Hari Raya Celebration and Malay Weddings, of course. Do you know what else is red and Malaysian? Red Palm oil, which is the star of the day in this blog post. Needless to say, I decided to…
Bella Unwind NTV7 Appearance and Spaghetti with Prawns in Laksa Sauce
Just a year ago, I was invited to be on Bella Unwind NTV7 (read about it here), and it was a nerve wrecking, yet memorable experience as it was my first live TV filming experience. Fast forward a year, I’ve had a few more TV appearances, but still pretty much a newbie when it comes…
Cafe K, Kiaraville Condominium
Mont Kiara is definitely not short of Korean restaurants due to the large population of Korean expats in the area, but one of the newest addition is Cafe K, located in Kiaraville Condominium which is walking distance from Solaris Mont Kiara. Cafe K is only over a month old, opened by a very dear friend…
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….

Set in a beautiful colonial bungalow at the crossroad of Jalan Kia Peng and Jalan Stonor, it’s prime location attracts loyal local fans as well as tourists and local embassy staff….
Nook’s MIGF 2013 Menu
Malaysia International Gourmet Festival (MIGF) is back with an interesting theme “Cool Chefs – Cooking with attitude”. Having missed out on the Taste MIGF due to work commitment, naturally I was excited to receive an invitation to try the MIGF menu at Nook, joining the festival for the very first time. This menu is extra…
Bijan Bar & Restaurant, Jalan Ceylon
I have heard about Bijan so many times and I remember it being nominated multiple times for Best Malay food in Timeout KL (voted Best Malay Food in the Time Out KL Food Awards 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012) but I’ve never had a chance to check it out until last week when a couple…
Perak MFF: Kampar Beef Brisket Noodles
I have a thing for beef noodles soup. I think it’s great that every culture (and in Malaysia’s case, almost every region) have their own take on a beef soup recipe. Needless to say, I have a soft spot for a really good bowl of pho, but since we live in a country with so…
Beef Rendang Penne
Couple of months ago I was the finalist for the Asian Food Channel’s Foodie Cook-Off, and the theme was “Raya Celebration”. Knowing I’m up against some contestants who would have been cooking Raya food all their lives, I didn’t want to go in with traditional Malay dish. Hence I was trying to go for the…
