I can’t remember the first time I’ve ever had Butter Chicken nor the person who introduced me to this dish, but I can tell you it was love at first sight. The name Butter Chicken doesn’t sound like much, but the tender pieces of chicken doused in tangy and creamy tomato gravy, it’s just heavenly…
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…
AFF Indian Subcontinent: Bhindi Masala
It’s nearly halfway through May and here is my first post for the month. What have I been up to? Well, to paint you a picture, I have average of 3-4 shows per week, along with about 4-5 rehearsals with the 2 different bands I have. Which means most nights I’m not at home and…
AFF Korea: Gyeran JJim (Steamed Egg Custard)
It’s common knowledge that there are a lot of crossovers in Asian cuisines. Take dumplings for example: Chinese makes Jiaozi, Japanese makes Gyoza, Korean makes Mandu and even Nepalese has Momos. Not surprisingly, it’s easy to adapt and enjoy these cuisines as if they are our own. Similarly, the humble steamed egg can be seen…
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…
Shangri-la’s Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa, Penang
I’ve never been much of a winner when it comes to contests and lucky draws. But a few months ago, I submitted a few photos for Shangri-La’s My Eat, Play, Shop instagram contest just for fun and imagine my surprise when I found out my photo of special edition Coca Cola can won us a…
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…
Massaged Kale Salad
Everytime I come across a Kale recipe on Youtube or blog, I feel a pang of envy because I have never been able to find that in KL. And to be honest this nature’s superfood was not on my radar when I was still living in Oz, as it hasn’t gained such a huge popularity…
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…
