DELICIOUS @ St Mary Place, Kuala Lumpur
The last time I dined at Delicious was many years ago. Over time there has been many changes made at their cafes, in terms of management and menu. A recent visit to the Delicious at St Mary Place revealed a menu that’s varied with western choices and local favourites. This particular outlet serves a breakfast buffet and guests staying at the nearby E&O Residences mostly get their breakfast here. For a more interesting dining experience, we checked out a few of their popular orders from the … [Read more...]
E&O RESIDENCES, Kuala Lumpur
Staying in the suburbs, out of the glare of city lights, I’ve sometimes wondered what it’s like to live right in the centre of a metropolis like Kuala Lumpur. Well, recently I had an opportunity to experience a 2-night stay in the heart of Kuala Lumpur – in the luxurious urban haven of E&O Residences managed by Eastern & Oriental Berhad (E&O). Located along a quiet stretch known as Jalan Tengah, which is just a stonethrow from uber-busy Jalan Sultan Ismail, the E&O … [Read more...]
MANJA Kuala Lumpur – get ready to be pampered!

EQ – the iconic Equatorial Hotel is back in Kuala Lumpur!
I can’t believe 7 years can just zip past so fast. That’s the time taken for the new EQ to reappear on the Kuala Lumpur skyline.

The hotel is now back and rebranded as EQ, as part of the spectacular soaring 52-storey Equatorial Plaza occupying the same prime location along Jalan Sultan Ismail. Its sleek sparkling facade is impressive - an … [Read more...]

POISON APPLE, Bandar Sunway
The small round red Hobbit door at the small round entrance of Poison Apple is misleading. Once you step through the dwarf entrance into Poison Apple, the interior is pretty big. A wishing well adorned with bright red apples and swirling “mists” greets me, very Insta-worthy and a favourite spot for photos. The mystical wishing well also doubles up as a beer dispenser! Located inside EGG (Eight Gourmet Gala) in Sunway, Poison Apple (from Snow White of course) is inspired from fantasy … [Read more...]
Sunday Japanese Buffet Lunch – KAMPACHI @ EQKL
When I first moved to Kuala Lumpur back in the early 1980’s, there weren’t that many Japanese restaurants in the city. But one name stood out whenever good Japanese food was sought: KAMPACHI. Back then, this well-established was housed at the Equatorial Hotel Kuala Lumpur and it’s always a special treat for me whenever I got to dine there. I remember their Weekend Buffet was immensely popular and one had to book many weeks in advance for a table. This flagship restaurant ceased operation when … [Read more...]
