Kluang StationLG-337 New Wing1 Utama Shopping MallBandar UtamaPetaling JayaThere are only a few "upmarket" kopitiams that I really like, around the Klang Valley. The Kluang Station kopitiams, which sprouted from the original dilapidated kopitiam in Kluang are a far cry from the parent. The Kluang Stations around here are housed mainly in shopping malls.I like Kluang Station mainly for their Iced Kopi. The local brew is really "khau" enough, not too sweet and tastes absolutely refreshingly … [Read more...]

Since the first post I did on Bumbu Bali, we have been back there again. Besides the Nasi Campur which LL absolutely loved & had to order again, we tried their Grilled Lamb Chop (RM23.50). 2 huge pieces of shoulder chops were served with fries, a separate bowl of salad, a huge piece of watermelon and a bowl of their special Bumbu gravy. The lamb has been marinated with some spices, black pepper and grilled to perfection with a hint of lemongrass. The fragrant gravy had mixed flavours of … [Read more...]

Restoran Peranakan Place Lot F221, 1st Floor 1 Utama Shopping Mall Bandar Utama Petaling Jaya Tel: 03-7728 8728A last-minute lunch invitation a couple of days ago had me ending up in this Peranakan Place - a nyonya restaurant in 1U. The pictures may not be very good as the lighting there was dim & yellow, with no open windows (it's a centre lot) for natural light. I hate taking pictures in such conditions because if I use the flash, the pictures turn out very "white & bright" (you … [Read more...]

I engaged this particular caterer as I had tasted their food in a Chinese New Year house party earlier this year … [Read more...]
