It’s always exciting to discover a new restaurant that strives to serve the best food to its patrons. Never judge a restaurant by its location though. I say that because when I first saw Mezza9 opening its door in a rather quiet and ’empty’ looking building Glomac Galleria, I was wondering if people would actually…
Mentaiko (明太子) Pasta with Mushrooms
I first learned about Mentaiko from Cheesie’s blog. Her obsession with Mentaiko is rather endearing and this entry made me chuckle and envious at the same time. Since then I’ve been seeing Mentaiko everywhere on blogs and restaurant menus. Lately though, Mentaiko Pasta seems to be all the craze around here and after seeing yet…
Pierre Ledent Maître Chocolatier
Dark chocolate has been quite topical on the health platform front due to this group of chemical called flavanols. If you are interested, you could look for some clinical trials on flavanol-rich chocolate. Basically some studies* have shown that these chemicals, naturally present in wide variety of fruits and vegetables, could boost your health (with…

Breakfast is so much better with homemade bread
It’s yet another Saturday! There are so many events on today in the Klang Valley. MTV World Stage (not going because I’m not a fan of Justin Bieber, enough said), Bon Odori, Clinique Beach Party and TEDxKL. Yet I’m staying at home with a mild food poisoning from unknown source. I suspect it’s from the…
Got a hangover? Try the Baked Eggs
Whoa! Last night’s Heineken New Bottle Launch party was one hell of a night. Personally I’m more of a wine addict drinker (lower calories, better taste) but I got carried away with the beer. A new bottle kept being handed to me before I finish the one before. And to think I’m supposed to be on…
Of Weekends and Cauliflower and Mushroom Mac N Cheese
Did you have a good weekend? I sure did! Weekends are always eventful for me as I gig almost every Friday and Saturday. Best thing about performing in a bar/restaurant setting is that I often catch up with my friends at the same time. It’s great doing what you love as a ‘job’. And Sundays?…
Cha Soba
There are times I fire up the laptop and open up WordPress but stares at it for hours without knowing what to write. Similarly, there are days, though not often, I’d stare at my pantry not knowing what to cook. I’m blaming the weather (the weather gets a lot of blaming from me I must…
Vanilla Quinoa “Rice” Pudding
So it’s a rainy and somewhat cold morning and I woke up way too early. I suspect it’s to do with the pain in my hip. That’s right, I had yet another fall. Somebody please childproof this apartment! Sleep deprived, and wanting something soft and creamy, I’ve come up with a “Rice Pudding” except with…
Blog awards and random facts about myself
Here’s a non-food post for the start of the month. Can you believe it’s already the second half of the year?! I just hope that I’ll be able to achieve my goals by the time 2012 slips through my fingers. Ames @ A Melbourne Girl at Heart has kindly nominated me for a lovely blog award….
