The first time we were at Taste Enclave, we already loved the charming modern food atrium in Avenue K. We sampled food from various outlets as well as their mini restaurants. Food from the 3 mini restaurants was pretty good. In fact, they were enticing enough for us to return there a second time for more of their offerings. Mushroom Omelette This time we checked out Grandeur Teppan Yaki and Xi Qing Seafood Restaurant. Our dinner kicked off with several dishes from Grandeur Teppan … [Read more...]
Bulgogi Brothers stir up a Burger Revolution!
The burger craze had its run last year in the Klang Valley. Burger joints were popping up a dime a dozen; everyone was jumping onto the hot bandwagon and the Klang Valley folks were spoilt for choices. Not only were the outlets competing ferociously with each other, the playing field was littered with enthusiastic food reviewers who were battling each other to see who could win the crown of being the “burger king” or “burger queen”! I stayed away from the battle field. Simply because I’m not … [Read more...]
Epicuro @ Damansara Uptown – delectable porky bites!
“Where would you recommend for a good meal?” I often get asked this perennial question. I usually drill further to find out what particular cuisine the person has in mind before giving any recommendation. These days, if someone asks me where to go for some casual dining, western-style, I find myself saying unreservedly “Epicuro”! Ever since I checked them out a couple of months ago, I have been back there a few times. What draws me back to this simple unassuming little restaurant is … [Read more...]

Mediteca – new a la carte menu!
It has been almost a year since Mediteca launched its porky items in their menu. A year of testing the market and their customers’ preference… it’s time to revamp the menu. And revamp they did… throwing out less popular dishes and adding on new exciting ones. After lots of brainstorming (and kitchen storming too), Chef Riccardo and his team have come up with some winning new dishes. We started off our meal with glasses of chilled prosecco and freshly baked foccacia bread… a nice … [Read more...]

My Marrakech Tea
I love tea. All kinds of tea… Chinese, Japanese, English, bags and tins of them fill my kitchen larder. In the office, I have packets and sachets of green tea to keep the oxidants away. However, all those are going to take a back seat now because I’ve just discovered a whole new tea experience… from the making of it to the delightful savouring. The NESCAFE Dolce Gusto cafe-style beverage system and the newly-launched Marrakech Tea has totally changed my mindset! The NESCAFE … [Read more...]

Buka Puasa “Aroma Semenanjung”-style at Cinnamon, One World Hotel
The Cinnamon Coffee House at One World Hotel is one of the busiest places ever, come Ramadhan.
