We all lead busy lives. We are constantly on the go, with our jobs, travels, deadlines and a hundred-and-one other things that demand our attention. So who has time to go marketing, buy fresh produce and then having to clean them and store them? I don’t know about you but I’m not exactly fond of cleaning fish and peeling prawns, to tell you the truth. We are so busy we constantly have to either eat out, buy takeaways or just contend ourselves with the regular instant noodles and fried egg. … [Read more...]

LIVELLO UNO @ Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur
Taman Tun Dr Ismail, fondly known as “TTDI” has seen quite a number of family restaurants sprouting in this past year. By “family restaurants”, I mean those eateries run by family members and their set-up being very family-friendly, too. One of the latest such eateries is Livello Uno, located on an upper floor of a shoplift along Jalan Aminuddin Baki. Barely 6 months old, this restaurant has been quietly satiating many an Italian food lover in this neighbourhood. As it’s housed in an upper … [Read more...]
RESTORAN SINKI @ DENGKIL – good old home-style cooking!
This place needs no promotion nor much introduction because it’s a well-known and popular eatery. Especially among folks in Dengkil. And even among folks far from Dengkil. This restaurant seems to have been around for a very long time, judging by the yellowed newspaper cuttings hanging proudly on its walls. Part of its old-world charm is the numerous news reports of VIPs who had dined here before and the many glowing reviews of its offerings. These and the ubiquitous chinese art … [Read more...]
Enjoy the festive season at TRADERS HOTEL KUALA LUMPUR!
I can’t believe Christmas is just a month away. Where has the year gone?? And because I got to attend a special preview of Christmas and New Year goodies at the Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur recently, I got this oh-no-time-has-flown kinda nostalgia earlier than most of you. While I look forward to celebrating the festivities, there’s always a tinge of regret over the passing year. Year-end is always a bitter-sweet thing: excitement in the festivities, incoming new year and of course, the … [Read more...]
ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNER for HOLIDAY INN RESORT PENANG STAYCATION CONTEST
THANK YOU all for the overwhelming response to this little contest! I received so many entries from you all that it took me quite some time to determine the winner.

I had a hard time going through and deciding on which reason/s were the most deserving and many of you did, trust me. Some of you were very creative … [Read more...]
THAI CAMP – authentic Thai-style streetfood
Thai Camp has recently revamped its whole menu structure to serve only one-dish hot meals and fast snacks, a la street-food style. It used to serve a la carte dishes eaten with white rice. Which probably is a great idea because there is a demand for such fast meals, priced very reasonably in a decent and comfortable premise. Thai Camp’s offerings meet all those requirements and more – the food is generally delicious! Oh there’s a bonus too – pork is on the menu. How authentic is that? … [Read more...]
FIFTYSIX DEGREES of Whisky Indulgence @ Spring Garden Kota Permai
It’s an annual affair – this whisky pairing dinner organised by the Tai Thong Group. Every year a special whisky is highlighted and this year, it’s the Fiftysix Degrees. This unique name refers to the latitude of the Scottish Highlands where this fine whisky is distilled. Launched in Malaysia earlier this year, Fiftysix Degrees is surprisingly an easy whisky to drink. I should know because I am not a regular whisky drinker and I found it very palatable. Well, it is a blended whisky, a … [Read more...]
