It's been a crazy crazy couple of weeks! I've been meaning to share this much earlier but somehow had to put this off due to work backlog and stuff.Since my first visit to Elegant Inn, I've been back there a couple of times... mainly to bring family and friends who've been rather impressed with my 1st review of this place. In my first visit here, we had the opportunity to try out their Hairy Crab Set, minus the crab at that time because Hairy wasn't available then - he was probably … [Read more...]

Tanzini @ GTower
With a tagline of "From Farm to Table" and a promise of a unique dining experience "right under the stars", Tanzini believes in using the freshest ingredients for their natural flavours, cooking them with soul and passion and serving the feel-good cuisine in a modern elegant setting 28 storeys above ground. Actually it's 29 storeys above ground if you want to experience that "right under the stars" ambience... the "starry" effects from the majestic clusters of lights as seen … [Read more...]
GTower Hotel
The Kuala Lumpur skyline is ever changing. The concrete jungle in the city centre grows denser by the day. Whenever I drive into the city after a short lapse of time, I'm always in awe of the increasing amount of construction activities there and new buildings keep sprouting like mushrooms after a rainfall. I can never keep up with, or rather, keep count of the number of new skyscrapers fighting for a tight spot in the almost-overcrowded KL skyline.When I was invited to … [Read more...]
Elegant Inn HK Cuisine
If you ask me which one restaurant that had made an impact on me so far this year, in terms of food, service and atmosphere... hmmm... among the many that would qualify in my shortlist, I would say that Elegant Inn will definitely be among the top few. Call me "biased" if you like... but hey, I don't deny that I've always been more partial towards Oriental cuisine... because, well, besides being of Oriental descent, I personally like the varied flavours, textures … [Read more...]
Culinary Challenge 2 @ Bayan Indah
Why is it that when we are heading towards the year end, the days seem to flash by extra-quickly? I don't feel that way during the first half of the year but somehow things just catapult like crazy after July. I'm saying this because I just realised that almost a whole month had gone by since 25 September. Why 25 September?That was the day we had our Culinary Challenge 2 in Bayan Indah! We're almost going for the 3rd session and I guess it's high time I blog about CC-2 … [Read more...]
Da Sa Rang
This is a first. Yes, this is my very first post on Korean food. It's not that I don't like Korean food. I was not really passionate about it but LL has done his best to try and change that. Yes, he's very much into Korean stuff (like most youngsters his age!) ~ like K-Pop and of course Korean food. The Korean pop culture has totally swamped the scene - so many of LL's friends are absolutely crazy about the various Korean boy & girl groups. I think they no longer listen to … [Read more...]
El Cerdo – a Porky Celebration!
How do people celebrate? Go dancing? Go singing, bursting out in songs of joy? Bring out the champagne? Set off the fireworks? Hmmm... yeah, I guess all those are ways for people to celebrate... not very common ways, unless it's a major event (referring to the last 2 methods!). Generally, when we Malaysians have something to celebrate, we usually do something simpler, more satisfying, more binding, more enjoyable... we eat. Yeah, we love our food. We find all sorts of reasons to go out and … [Read more...]
Grand Palace @ Pavilion – not so grand after all
It's true that not every one of our dining experiences always turned out good. That's life, isn't it? You get some good and definitely some bad as well. Most times when I encountered a bad dining experience, be it at a roadside stall or in a 5-star establishment, I seldom blog about it. Like what I've always been taught: if you have nothing good to say, then don't say anything. The not-so-pleasant factors could be bad food, been made to wait too long for service, … [Read more...]
Marbled Angkoos
I know the past few posts here had been focusing on stuff that I made/baked. When the cooking/baking bug bites me, it's always like this! Sometimes when I don't have the inclination or too lazy, I can stay off baking/cooking/making stuff for weeks and weeks... but when the mood hits, this is what happens!So, for the sake of my good friend, Xara, I'm putting this up for her :-)) I made these a few weeks ago when I was playing around with all the lovely colours I got from natural … [Read more...]
Happy Mid Autumn Festival! Moonies Galore!
Tomorrow is the 15th day of the 8th month, according to the Chinese lunar calendar and that's when the Chinese (and probably also all other races here in Malaysia - we are 1Malaysia, right!) celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival. It originated from farmers, back more than 3,000 years ago, celebrating the end of their summer harvest and it seems on this date, the summer moon is at its roundest, fullest and brightest. Traditional foods for this celebration are of course, the … [Read more...]
