Little did some lucky fans in the Klang Valley and Penang know that they’d be able to make up for their missed occasions with the exclusive Guinness Celebration Kits!

MASALA WHEELS in PJ: Banana Leaf Rice under the trees
We were introduced to Masala Wheels by a dear friend recently. Located in a corner lot in a quiet spot of Petaling Jaya Old Town, Masala Wheels’ al fresco dining area under huge old trees right across the restaurant fills up pretty fast. Having arrived there before noon, it was easy for us to score a good table under those shady leafy trees. The weather was perfect that day - gentle little streaks of sunlight filtered through the leaves (so good for food photography!) and we had the … [Read more...]

Staying at Ren I Tang Heritage Inn brings back many childhood memories. Not that I grew up in Penang but this old-world charming building reminds me so much of the old shops and places of my childhood.

Isn’t that grand? “Hall of Benevolence” sounds very much like something from a Qing Imperial Palace! Here’s … [Read more...]
AUNTIE SIM KITCHEN, Damansara Uptown
Eateries come and go and in the bustling thoroughfares of Damansara Uptown, restaurants jostle with each other competing to see who can attract the most number of double-parked cars at their premise-front: a sure sign of the restaurant’s popularity. Along the road where Auntie Sim Kitchen is located, you will never find an available parking lot easily and more often than not, cars are always double-parked there. Such was our dilemma when we were there recently to dine at Auntie Sim … [Read more...]
