It’s quite refreshing that Paramount Garden, predominantly a residential area, now houses a well set-up Italian restaurant. In the few rows of shophouses in this location, most of the eateries are casual types, more of the kopitiam-style than anything. Hence, a’Roma Dinings, with its chic restaurant, wine lounge and coffee bar is a class above the rest. The name a’Roma stems from the city of Roma and the team here strives to showcase authentic Italian cuisine using the … [Read more...]

FARM TO PLATE @ Damansara Kim – let the natural flavours shine!
Farm to plate, farm to table - these are the latest dining trends around town. It’s like a spin-off from the organic food craze, which is not a bad thing. People are now appreciating the value of chemical-free food and the next step is to eat food that’s freshly brought in from the source: the farm. For the ordinary folks, it may not be viable to consume farm-fresh food on a regular basis unless they own the farms. For some restaurants, it is a worthy venture to promote healthier food and … [Read more...]
Let’s have a PRIME moment @ Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur
For the past 10 years, since its opening in 2006, Prime at the Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur has built up its reputation as one of the city’s favourite place for premium steaks. Living up to its “Prime Grill, Prime Wine, Prime Time” adage, Prime is the place to go for serious steak indulgence.

Steaks here are usually … [Read more...]
PUTIEN celebrates its 16th Anniversary with More Good Food!
Back in 2000, Putien’s founder Mr Fong Chi Chung started the restaurant as a coffee shop in Kitchener Road, Singapore. Mr Fong, who migrated from Putian of Fujian Province in China, missed the home-cooked dishes from his homeland and decided to open that restaurant to recreate those dishes. The rest, as they say, is history. From that humble beginning, Putien has since grown into a popular chain with 28 outlets internationally in the last 16 years and will soon expand to 33 outlets by end … [Read more...]
UOVO, Damansara Kim
Located along a quiet road in Damansara Kim, Uovo’s nondescript exterior is somewhat misleading. Once you step through the door, the dimmed ambience spells understated chic comfort. I like how the brocade drapes, dark wallpaper and intricate hanging lights combine to portray a dining space that can be both casually cosy or comfortably formal! Uovo’s menu is focused on teppan grill and desserts. Open only for dinner, the restaurant’s a la carte menu lists only a handful of dishes … [Read more...]
Celebrate Belgian Week with A Modern Twist on Belgian Classics at SOLEIL
Did you know that Belgium has 129 Michelin-starred restaurants? Based on per square km, considering that Belgium is a relatively smaller country compared to others in Europe, that’s like one of the highest in the world! Located practically in the heart of Europe, it’s understandable that Belgian cuisine is influenced by German, French, Austrian and Swiss cuisines. Belgium is also blessed with lots of natural resources to fuel its cuisine - the forests of the Ardennes are rich in game and … [Read more...]
YOUMIQI – SHUNDE CUISINE ROCKS!
In my last review of Youmiqi in May this year, I recommended their Kungfu Steamboat which was the highlight of my meal there. I didn’t really have a chance to check-out their regular menu items as that steamboat was really fulfilling! Read about that memorable meal here. Recently I visited Youmiqi again and this time it was to savour some of their signature Shunde dishes. Shunde is a district in Guangdong province in China. The Shunde style of cooking has often been … [Read more...]
SUNDAY BUBBLY BRUNCH @ SERENA BRASSERIE, INTERCONTINENTAL KUALA LUMPUR
Sundays are lazy days for me. I sleep in a bit and sometimes I go to the wet market and sometimes I head for a massage. Most people would go for a long lazy brunch. It gets even longer when there’s champagne involved. If you fall into this group, then why not head for the Sunday Bubbly Brunch at the InterContinental Kuala Lumpur? After all, it only happens on the last Sunday of the month - so, that’s not too extravagant an indulgence, is it? Happening at Serena … [Read more...]
