Don’t expect pretty table linen or cutlery when you eat at Crab Factory, simply because there’s none. The whole setup in this restaurant is focused on being simple and rustic. The exposed brick wall, the utilitarian wooden tables and metal chairs, the exposed ceiling beams give it a functional and practical theme, much like a factory. The whole idea of this setup is from the owner’s experience of communal dining in Louisiana where the backyard Crab Boil is somewhat like our steamboat or … [Read more...]
Seenak Sajian Tradisi Desa for Ramadhan @ Kitchen Art Brasserie, Empire Hotel Subang
The thing I enjoy most about Ramadhan buffets is that I get to enjoy authentic traditional Malay dishes. Most establishments offering Berbuka Puasa feasts usually go out of their way to ensure that well-loved local Malay cuisine is featured. That’s exactly what Kitchen Art Brasserie at the Empire Hotel Subang is doing for this Ramadhan. Diners get to feast on an array of wholesome dishes – the selection numbers more than 50 delicious items. It may not sound like a lot, as compared to … [Read more...]
Maliqa Mediterranean Cuisine @ Plaza Damansara
The first thing you that will strike you, when you step into Maliqa, is its “big” eclectic presence. Everything, from the tables, chairs, wall colors, knick-knacks, pictures, wall hangings, carpets… they all scream “diversity at its best” because nothing matches anything. Every piece of item is ornate and unique in its own identity and therein lies the charm of the place. “Think of it as the assorted treasures salvaged by an exiled queen”, explained Syed Wafa, co-owner of Maliqa. … [Read more...]
Songkran celebration @ Erawan, Kota Damansara
If there’s one thing that Chef KoRN loves very much, besides preparing awesome Thai food, it’s orchids. Preferably Thai ones, of course.

We were there recently and it was amidst this beautiful setting that we participated in a special Songkran celebration with Chef KoRN, … [Read more...]
Jala @ The Andaman, Langkawi
The first time I set eyes on Jala Restaurant, it took my breath away. I have never seen a restaurant like it before. Picture this: tables and chairs all laid out and set with elegant cutlery, complete with sparkling wine glasses and all around it is open… there are no walls (walls are kept to a bare minimum!) that my eyes could discern. Instead, all I could see surrounding the restaurant were the forest, sea, sky and sand! Yes, plenty of sand around… the floor of Jala is entirely covered with … [Read more...]
Fish Farm Thai Restaurant, Ampang
The official name of this place is Fish Farm Thai Restaurant but many reviews and posts have added an extra “Vegetables“ in front of it, hence your Google search on this place will pop it up as “Vegetables Fish Farm Thai Restaurant”. That’s really a more apt name because there are sprawling vegetables plots in this place, besides the fish pond. In fact, once you enter the property off the Hulu Langat Road, you will be greeted by the vegetable beds on your right even before you see the fish … [Read more...]
Crocodile cuisine at Krocies Seafood Restaurant
Eating “exotic meats” of any kind may seem squeamish to many. I happen to fall into this category too. When I got the invitation to try some crocodile cuisine, to be honest, I was hesitant to go. But then curiosity got the better of me and I decided to join a group of foodies to check out Krocies Seafood Restaurant located in the quieter part of SS2, Petaling Jaya. 3-Variety BBQ There we met Aires Lim, owner and director of Krocies Seafood Restaurant who explained to us that consuming … [Read more...]
