Taking over the spot which used to be another Japanese restaurant, Yuzen has expanded into the adjoining lot, thus space is never an issue here. In fact, there are several private rooms set up here for some cosy dining. It’s always nice to start off a Japanese meal with some salad and sashimi. Depending on what’s freshest and available for the day, the chef can assemble a good assortment of sashimi, omakase-style. The tub of sweet succulent fish and shell food I had was made up … [Read more...]
Good Friends Cafe, Subang Jaya
With such a simplistic name, the vision behind this place is crystal clear. Obviously the owners want it to be a place where good friends (and family) can gather to enjoy simple honest meals that won’t bust your wallet. Food served here has a “homey” feel and the chefs are geared and passionate about cooking healthy food, real food made from scratch in their kitchen. Everything, from the soups to sauces to cakes, are all made in the kitchen of Good Friends. I’m not much of a pumpkin soup … [Read more...]
BibiWok Nyonya Thai Cuisines – the best of both worlds
Bandar Puteri Puchong houses hundreds of eateries in its maze-like neighbourhood but none is as unique as BibiWok. Opened some 8 years ago, BibiWok is considered one of the “pioneer” pork-free restaurants in this thriving sprawling township. One of the main reasons for BibiWok’s staying power in the challenging F&B scene is due to the passion of its owner-cum-chef, Richie Yeo. The gregarious yet humble Richie always maintains “I’m just a cook” and it is precisely this warm humility and love … [Read more...]
IPPUDO – have you tried their Grand Menu 2015?

Kawahara-san is always reinventing and redefining recipes of his ramen - something that emerged more than 300 years ago!

Epicuro – what to eat besides the famous pork chops
Epicuro remains one of the best dining treasures I discovered last year and it still remains firmly on my list of favourites. Its famed Pork Chops, created by Yugin has been raved over and over (and not only by me)… truth be told, I never fail to order that at Epicuro. However, Epicuro is not all about its delectable pork chops, as I discovered in an invited meal there a couple of months ago. Yes, this post is two months overdue and I’m guilty as charged but I shall not delve into the reasons … [Read more...]
Celebrity Chef Edward Kwon heats up InterContinental Kuala Lumpur
The InterContinental Kuala Lumpur has just kicked off their World Celebrity Chef Series 2015 with the appearance of Celebrity Chef Edward Kwon, a top chef from South Korea. For weeks, photos of the incredibly hot-looking Edward Kwon have been flooding my Facebook timeline. It’s not surprising his legion of fans go ga-ga over him with many of them expressing their adoration and support in social media. So when I received an invitation from the InterContinental Kuala Lumpur to meet him … [Read more...]
3 Bags Full… of goodies to dig in!
It’s safe to say that the café scene has almost reached saturation point now in the Klang Valley. Cafes now are a dime a dozen and a new one pops open every other week. I sometimes wonder how the café owners survive, given the keen competition everywhere. It must be pretty tough, especially in thriving neighbourhoods like Kota Damansara. And this is exactly where 3 Bags Full is located since it’s opened last December. To stay relevant and ahead of the competition, this cosy … [Read more...]
Thematic Buffets at Charcoal @ The Saujana Hotel
Buffets are never quite the same at Charcoal these days. Not when there are thematic feasts there every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Sample some good old authentic nyonya food on Thursday evenings when “Nyonya Peranakan” is the theme. Auntie Belle cooks up a real spicy storm there on Thursdays. Seafood lovers, please congregate at Charcoal on Fridays because that’s Seafood Night then. That’s when a wide array of the freshest marine bounty is laid out for the … [Read more...]
Master Chef Kitchen – HK roasts, polo buns & kai tan chai!
Located in an outer building that’s part of the OneCity complex in Subang Jaya, Master Chef Kitchen is pretty visible with its big red-and-white signboard with the chef hat logo. It’s quite hard to miss, if you know which building to look for, within the sprawling OneCity development. Master Chef Kitchen is fashioned like a casual cafe serving Hong Kong-style roast meats served with rice and noodles. It also does a host of other simple Chinese dishes that go with rice. Most of the dishes … [Read more...]
