The dining scene in KL has changed so much over the 3 years I’ve been here. I remember when I first arrived I was complaining about the lack of decent brunch spots, but over the past year or so the concept of “all-day-breakfast” has been lovingly embraced by the F&B industry and consumers. Truly, there’s…

AFF Taiwan: Lu Rou Fan 滷肉飯
I have a confession: I’m obsessed with Taiwan as a country. The entertainment industry (I’m guilty of following all the current talk shows and my favourite is Kang Xi Lai Le 康熙來了), the food, the culture in general; but I have never been to this country! I think that one day when I finally set…
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…
AFF Indochina: Banh Xeo (Vietnamese Sizzling Crepes)
My final recipe for AFF Indochina happens to be a popular one as we have already seen a few submissions of this delectable treat: Banh Xeo. This is another dish I’ve never actually tried in a Vietnamese restaurant but now I think I have fallen in love with it! Banh Xeo literally means “sizzling cake”…
AFF Korea: Bo Ssam
When I first moved to KL, there was a period of time I kept visiting different Korean restaurants thanks to my Korean friend (yeah singular). Of these, Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant is probably the most convenient since it’s nice and close to us, right next to our neighbourhood. I won’t ever get tired of the…
Midi 57, Jalan Bangkung
After a great review session at Le Midi, I didn’t hesitate to accept the invitation for another session at the more casual Midi 57 at Jalan Bangkung. Also headed by very talented Chef Alimenti, the menu here is completely different as to cater for the drinking crowd. The ambience here is very relaxed with warm…
AFF HK/Macau – Macanese Minchee
Hong Kong and Macau double month for Asian Food Fest has been going on since January, so I’m super late with my entry. It’s mainly because I couldn’t find an appropriate recipe suitable for my current diet. My favourite food in Hong Kong has to be Wanton noodles, followed by Dim Sum. Naturally, all grain…
Bacon Bakkwa
It’s the first day of the Chinese (Lunar) New Year and here I would like to wish everyone Happy Year of the Horse! May this year be a successful one filled with joy, good health and prosperity! How are you celebrating your first day? I’ve been drooling at all the CNY feasts and checking out…
Porky Chinese New Year Delights at Chicago Rib House
Only 2 weeks to go until we celebrate Lunar New Year. If you fancy a different kind of Chinese New Year meal, Chicago Rib House might be your option. A word of warning: this meal is not for the faint-hearted, as it’s a carnivore’s dream come true. That’s right, Chicago Rib House has specially prepared…
Jarrod & Rawlins, The AmpWalk
Jarrod & Rawlins, or J&R, has come a long way since they opened their first deli bistro (now defunct) in Desa Sri Hartamas, selling British style grub: sausages, English breakfasts, bacon sandwiches, steaks etc to hungry (and thirsty) Malaysian public. Their menu has evolved to be more sophisticated, and now you can find their outlets…
