The thing with us Malaysians is that many of us love our desserts and we often want to stuff as many varieties as possible. It is not uncommon then to see diners often ordering several types and sharing them among themselves. Ann Lee of Nosh understands this penchant perfectly. That is why she has come up with the latest TEN desserts in Nosh and best of all, offering diners combinations of all the desserts at insanely decent prices. Tell me if these offerings aren’t decently attractive … [Read more...]

Xiao Lao Wang Hotpot, Sg Buloh New Village
I love steamboats. Or rather, now the fashionable new term is “hotpot” – that sounds more appropriate? Anyway, whether it’s good old-fashioned “steamboat” or funky “hotpot”, I always enjoy it because it’s simple and nutritious and I love soups. So, when I was invited to check out Xiao Lao Wang Hotpot, even though it’s all the way in Sungei Buloh New Village, the journey there was worth it. Xiao Lao Wang Hotpot is opened by the same people who opened Kissaten in Jaya One and the … [Read more...]
Dining at The Andaman, Langkawi

Golden Orchid Oriental Thai Cuisine @ Damansara Jaya, Petaling Jaya
There’s been quite a buzz in the quieter side of Damansara Jaya recently with the opening of Golden Orchid Restaurant. Barely a month old, the restaurant serves Thai cuisine with some Chinese and Malay twists.

Priced at RM25 for a small portion, the tomyum had all the right flavours balanced out very well. Yes, I’d say there’s a shiok factor to the soup and it didn’t … [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...]
Nasi Kandar Feast at Cinnamon Coffee House @ One World Hotel, Petaling Jaya
There are days when I get cravings for things spicy and hot and this is usually after a spell of travelling overseas or after a long absence of indulging in curries. I’ve been having a spell of rich creamy stuff the past few weeks and the invitation to check out some Nasi Kandar specials in Cinnamon Coffee House at One World Hotel came very timely last week. Now we all know that Penang is the mecca of Nasi Kandar as that’s where it all started. Back in the old days, peddlars of Nasi … [Read more...]
