Lunar New Year Feast at the newly renovated Toh Yuen at Hilton Petaling Jaya
Have you stepped into Toh Yuen, the Chinese restaurant in Hilton Petaling Jaya recently? If you have, then you would appreciate how much better it looks now.

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...]
