The Year of the Dragon, according to the Chinese calendar, will be upon us in about 2 weeks from now. This is when the feasting gets really serious. Many popular restaurants around town are already almost booked out for the Chinese New Year festivities. It has become a popular trend here, among urban folks, to just bring the entire family out for a grand feast or two or more, starting with the must-have Reunion Dinner and continue with more meals throughout the 15-day celebration. Of course, … [Read more...]

Villa Danieli @ Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur
Villa Danieli at the Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur takes on a very different mood in the daytime. Unlike the luxe romantic air that envelopes this trattoria-styled Italian restaurant at night, in the daytime it looks more casual yet retaining its old-world charm, thanks to the bright lively ceiling mural done by Mindy Lehrman Cameron. The rough finishing of the walls, pillars and floors lent a rustic warmth, enhancing the ambience of a typical Italian villa. On a cool afternoon, dining al … [Read more...]
BlackBall in Subang Jaya
HAPPY NEW YEAR! What better way to kickstart the New Year than with something sweet? The past year we Malaysians have been spoilt for choices when it comes to Taiwanese teas and desserts. There's the ever-popular Chatime, Gong Cha, Snowflake (and many other lesser-known ones) ... and now we have BlackBall! Similar to Snowflake, (it is Taiwanese desserts, after all!) BlackBall serves the typical concoction of taro balls, sweet potato balls, black pearls, grass jelly, black jelly, red … [Read more...]

Christmas Eve Set Dinner at Uncle Chilli’s, Hilton Petaling Jaya
I haven't been back to Uncle Chilli's since early last year after it was revamped with a cool sleek deco. Just last week I was invited to check out their Christmas Eve Set Dinner so I happily headed there and arrived a wee bit early due to the unpredictably-clear traffic! Once we were shown our table, I was wowed by the pretty table set-up ... and when I took out my camera and switched it on... a message appeared on the screen - a much-dreaded one ... "no memory card"!!! Bummer. Again, I had … [Read more...]
Christmas Light-up & Festive Delights at One World Hotel, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya
To mark the start of the yuletide season, One World Hotel recently hosted children from the House of Joy to their Christmas Light Up ceremony.

The laughter turned to squeals of delight when The Chipmunks made their appearance. This is One World Hotel's collaboration with Fox's release of the movie … [Read more...]

OK, I'm bowing to requests to put up my fruitcake for sale. I know it's a bit late as Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. If at this time you still have not ordered any and are looking for something home-baked, well... perhaps you may want to try mine :-) Besides the usual mixed fruits (raisins, sultanas, glaced cherries, mixed peel), there are prunes, dried cranberries, sugared ginger and walnuts in my fruitcakes. Ohh... and rum and brandy, too! Price: RM120 each (1.7kg; 9" … [Read more...]
