In our last trip to Phuket, we chose to stay in the Old Town area. Usually we would have stayed in the popular Patong Beach area but this time we decided to stay in Phuket Town itself for a change and also because there are better dining options there. One of the most popular restaurants in the Old Town is One Chun. It is almost an institution there and it’s always busy! Located in a 19th century building, this vintage restaurant is appealing with its charming old Chinese … [Read more...]
WARTEK – Indonesian Cuisine in Ara Damansara
This place has been making the rounds in social media lately – Facebook, Instagram, Tik-Tok all have featured Wartek.

We were there for lunch on a week day and the place quickly filled up after 12pm. Most of the dishes have been pre-cooked and served in deep glass dishes at the counter while some of the fried stuff were continuously fried from the … [Read more...]
Hock Kee Kopitiam, Bangsar South
Hock Kee Kopitiam is not like your regular kopitiam in a row of shoplots. Instead, it’s a cosy space inside Nexus in Bangsar South serving all the usual kopitiam favourites, some of which are given their own unique Hock Kee twists. Given how the kopitiam trend is a hit with Malaysians, it isn’t surprising to find that Hock Kee was really busy – the place was pretty packed with customers enjoying a leisurely brunch on a weekend! We were quickly ushered in by their smiling helpful … [Read more...]

Kuchai Lama is one place I seldom venture to but I’ve heard some good things about this Papasan Canteen. Located in the Kuchai Lama Business Centre area where parking is quite a challenge, this eatery has been garnering raves in social media for their local-Japanese fusionistic offerings. Their signature Omu Curry Rice with fried chicken is extremely popular as we saw almost every table had this. Diners can opt for 3 or 5 pieces of the huge-sized fried chicken – we opted for 3 pieces … [Read more...]
CAFÉ CHEF WAN @ TTDI
After having dined in Chef Wan’s restaurants several times, we wanted to try out some more casual fares from his cafes. So we hopped over to the outlet in Taman Tun Dr Ismail on a late afternoon. Decked out in the usual Chef Wan’s “tropical paradise” theme, the café is beautifully set up. Browsing through the menu, we could see a wide selection of dishes inspired by Chef Wan’s extensive travels around the world. From local fares like Cucur Udang and Mee Rebus to … [Read more...]
