For this festive season, if you don’t fancy pigging out on some lavish buffets, why not have a simple 4-course Christmas Set Menu? You can do this in an American diner-like restaurant – Chicago Rib House. There are 3 drinks offered in the set, so take your pick from the alcoholic Peach Bellini (fresh peach blended with peach juice and sparkling wine) or the Christmas Berry Delight (refreshing berry fiz) or the Mint Lemonade (cool light mint-flavoured lemonade). Whet your appetite … [Read more...]

Eyuzu serves its popular Shumatsu Buffet Dinner on … [Read more...]
MyKuali Penang White Curry Noodles
Lately, these instant noodles have been the talk of the town. I’ve seen people raving about it on social media too. Thanks to a fellow blogger friend who passed me some to try not too long ago, I was able to taste them and find out what the fuss is all about. First of all, there’s nothing white about these noodles. In fact, the curry is much darker and brighter than most other brands of instant curry noodles. I guess the “white” refers to that particular type of curry noodles that’s … [Read more...]

Stillwater @ Crittenden, The Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne
We visited a few vineyard restaurants in The Mornington and one of the loveliest is Stillwater. It is located in the acclaimed Crittenden Estate at the foot of Red Hill. Since it opened in 2004, this modern vineyard restaurant is well known for its relaxed fine dining. Developed by owners Zac and Jacqui Poulier from a small self-service café, Stillwater today showcases the very best of the Mornington. In 2012, after an internal refit, fine dining has been lifted to the next level with … [Read more...]
Cape Schanck Lighthouse, The Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne
A visit to The Mornington Peninsula won’t be complete if you don’t visit the famous Cape Schanck Lighthouse.

The Cape Schanck Lightstation has a fully functional beacon and it offers visitors a unique glimpse of the past as the historic buildings around it are still kept true to their original condition.

All-You-Can-Eat Dim Sum Feast at Celestial Court, Sheraton Imperial Kuala Lumpur
Coming from Ipoh, a town famed for its delicious dim sum, it isn’t any wonder that I am a dim sum fan. I practically grew up on yum-cha sessions in the many old-world dim sum shops that are a common sight in Ipoh. The odd thing is that we “Ipoh Mali” folks have so much love for yum-cha and dim sum that we make a beeline to the kopitiams and restaurants at the crack of dawn. Yes, we have our favourite char siu pows, har kaus, siew mais with endless cups of tikuanyin at 6am or thereabouts. If … [Read more...]
Somerset View, The Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne
The Mornington Peninsula is about an hour’s drive from Melbourne city. In our last trip to Melbourne, we decided to explore this peninsula. We started our trip from the city heading to the Yarra Valley where we stayed a night in Balgownie Estate Vineyard Resort & Spa. The following morning we checked out and drove on to visit Rayner Stone Fruit Orchard. After lunch at Rayner Stone Fruit Orchard, we piled back into our nifty A3 and with the help of our trusty iPhones’ Maps, we headed to … [Read more...]
Frangipani @ Changkat Bukit Bintang
The name Frangipani is not unfamiliar to many diners, especially those who love frequenting restaurants in the Changkat Bukit Bintang area in Kuala Lumpur. Frangipani has stood its ground there for more than 11 years and has always prided itself for its French-inspired offerings. That was the direction in Frangipani’s first decade. Moving into its second decade in business, the owners decided that a change is needed to steer Frangipani into its next exciting phase. Looking at food … [Read more...]
