Have a Super Prosperous CNY Meal at Restaurant Extra Super Tanker, Damansara Kim
I was told Restaurant Extra Super Tanker is already fully booked on Chinese New Year Eve (18 February 2015) so if you are thinking of having your Reunion Dinner there, you may have to look elsewhere. But, for other days during the Chinese New Year, tables are still available. We had a CNY dinner there last year and looking at their line-up this year, it’s likely we’ll be repeating it this year!

From that humble cafe, SOULed OUT has flourished and is a very popular venue for folks in the Mont Kiara/Sri Hartamas area and of course its popularity has spread much much … [Read more...]

The immediate thought that flew to my mind was “wow, what a clandestine hideout!” The … [Read more...]
