I have heard much about Millesime at Menara Kencana Petroleum – the kitchen of which was set up by Chef Max Chin and it’s his favourite playground where he cooked whatever he felt like it for the day, a la “Private Kitchen” style.  There was no structured menu and diners just have to sit down [...]

 The romantic & cosy ambience of the trattoria-styled Villa Danieli It seems like only a couple of weeks ago that we welcomed Chef Alessandro Graziosi to Villa Danieli.  I still remember when we were invited to try Chef Alessandro’s new menu sometime in early April last year.  It is now almost a year since he [...]

The Restaurant at The Club Saujana Resort hosted a special Spanish Inspired Wine Dinner recently to introduce some impeccable wines from some of the best wineries in Spain. Sipping some excellent cava at the lounge while waiting for dinner to start, I was once again impressed by the elegant and classy surroundings (read about my [...]

I like the concept of “Bring Me Food” that’s being introduced at Tosca in DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur. I mean, who wouldn’t like that, right? Bringing someone food must surely be one of the best things to do, especially to food lovers! It’s kinda like the Japanese Omakase concept. Basically that means “I’ll leave [...]

On days like this when my muscles ache and stretched to the limit and every bone seems stiff as pole, my thoughts automatically go back the Heavenly Spa at The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa with great longing.  It is the only Heavenly Spa in Malaysia by Westin.

Recently, it has been rebranded as “Bubbalicious”, in line with the concept featured in over 5 different Westins throughtout Asia Pacific.  I was privileged to attend the launching of Bubbalicious recently. Bubbalicious gives [...]

This post has been sitting in my “Draft” folder for a few months already.  I’ve been so caught up with recent events that I had ignored this draft for some time now… shame on me… and it’s one of my favourite steak places, too!  So, here’s how the story goes… “Are you game for Prime this [...]

It was a 1-night affair. For a brief night, I got to taste and experience a delightful affair – a marriage of Italian and Chilean flavours. I had the best of both worlds. I’m talking about the 1-night-only event at Tosca at DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur which featured a 5-course wine dinner, partnering Italian [...]

My first encounter with Rama V – that fine-dining Thai restaurant in Jalan U Thant, Kuala Lumpur, not the famous king of Siam, was when I had the privilege of being invited to their Loy Krathong Festival Charity Dinner, sometime late last year. Prior to that, I had of course, heard and read so much [...]
