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…
US Potato Culinary Challenge
You say Po-tay-to… I say Po-tah-to? Well last week we definitely went all potatoed-out for the US Potato Culinary Challenge and I feel very honoured to be invited as a blogger judge for this very special event. The US Potato Board (USPB) has partnered with the Culinary Association of Malaysia (CAM) to launch the challenge…
Sony Alpha 5000 Review (ADV)
After the blogger preview tea party at the Carcosa Seri Negara, we each get to keep the Sony Alpha 5000 temporarily to test out in our daily life. And in the past couple of weeks, I’ve brought the camera with me everywhere I go. It happened to be a rather hectic period so I guess…
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…
Sony Alpha 5000 Bloggers Preview, Carcosa Seri Negara (ADV)
When it comes to photography, I still have a lot to learn. Nowadays, blogging is not just about the writing anymore. To gain readership, it’s important to know how to take a decent photograph. And I’ll admit that while I have never had the time to really practice my skills, a lesson or two is…
Topshelf, TTDI
Taman Tun Dr Ismail is well known for its many watering holes (including the infamous Sid’s, of course) and hipster coffee joints. But behind the busy Lorong Rahim Kajai 14, there is a lovely French restaurant called Topshelf, run by Chef Christopher and Hairenna, a friendly duo who is passionate about food and hospitality. I have…
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…
New Zealand Natural, Sunway Pyramid
I used to live right next to my uni in Melbourne. And those who are studying or have studied in Melbourne Uni would have taken the advantage of the “Italian street” just a few minutes walk away. Lygon street holds many fantastic memories for me and that’s where I discover the joy of devouring gelato…
Paradise Inn, Sunway Pyramid
Sunway Pyramid isn’t somewhere I frequent due to the distance (and laziness, mostly to sit through the traffic), but the month of April is extra tempting with their World of Cravings campaign. During this month, there is a special promotion for different restaurant each day and diners get to join contests to win attractive prizes….
