ONE CHUN PHUKET

In our last trip to Phuket, we chose to stay in the Old Town area.  Usually we would have stayed in the popular Patong Beach area but this time we decided to stay in Phuket Town itself for a change and also because there are better dining options there. One of the most popular restaurants […]

WARTEK – Indonesian Cuisine in Ara Damansara

This place has been making the rounds in social media lately – Facebook, Instagram, Tik-Tok all have featured Wartek.  Opened just a few months ago and located in a rather obscure spot in Ara Damansara, this cosy set-up has been packing in the crowds. We were there for lunch on a week day and the […]

Hock Kee Kopitiam, Bangsar South

Hock Kee Kopitiam is not like your regular kopitiam in a row of shoplots.  Instead, it’s a cosy space inside Nexus in Bangsar South serving all the usual kopitiam favourites, some of which are given their own unique Hock Kee twists.  Given how the kopitiam trend is a hit with Malaysians, it isn’t surprising to […]

ZUKKINI, Oasis Ara Damansara

Opened in August last year, Zukkini is nestled in Oasis Ara Damansara, serving fusionistic Australian and Asian cuisine.  Indeed, diners will get an “oasis” feel when stepping into this cool space with lots of striking tropical greens in its interior.  This calming effect is further contributed by their elegantly simplistic wood-themed furniture and flanked by […]

PAPASAN CANTEEN @ Kuchai Lama

Kuchai Lama is one place I seldom venture to but I’ve heard some good things about this Papasan Canteen.  Located in the Kuchai Lama Business Centre area where parking is quite a challenge, this eatery has been garnering raves in social media for their local-Japanese fusionistic offerings. Their signature Omu Curry Rice with fried chicken […]

CAFÉ CHEF WAN @ TTDI

After having dined in Chef Wan’s restaurants several times, we wanted to try out some more casual fares from his cafes.  So we hopped over to the outlet in Taman Tun Dr Ismail on a late afternoon. Decked out in the usual Chef Wan’s “tropical paradise” theme, the café is beautifully set up.  Browsing through […]

SABAYON @EQKL: In Celebration of Techniques and Seasons

Perched high up on the 51st floor, Sabayon, EQ Kuala Lumpur’s award-winning modern fine dining venue is introducing its new seasonal menus. The distinctive new menus draw from an inspiration of culinary tradition, stemming from the classic methods of the famed Auguste Escoffier’s classique cusine, to more modernist takes on texture, flavour and presentation. The […]
