Now if that name – Sector 7 – brings up visions of some super burning monster in an oil rig 8,000 feet under the sea, as depicted in that 2011 Korean horror flick, I can’t blame you. In fact, there is a statue, or should I call it a “structure” of this alien monster right in front of this gastropub, located in SetiaWalk, Puchong. Unfortunately, my photographer for the night forgot to snap a picture of this awesome creature. Apart from this “out of this world” alien structure, the other stuff … [Read more...]

The Kouign Amann has hit our shores at The Bread Shop!
What is made up of numerous layers of paper-thin flaky super-buttery dough, yet is not a croissant or a puff pastry? Why, it’s the Kouign Amann, of course! The…what? - you may ask. I can’t blame you if you are a bit puzzled about this unpronounceable name. Pronounced as “ku-ween a-mon”, its roots date back to the 1860’s where it originated in Brittany, France. The traditional kouign amann is known as a “butter cake” in Bretagne, which again, is quite confusing to me, because it really … [Read more...]

The 1st Bulgogi Brothers restaurant was opened in 2006 in Gangnam, south of Seoul. From there, it mushroomed to 46 outlets all over South Korea including 1 in Canada and 4 in the Philippines.

Ti Chen @ The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur
If you, like me, have never been to Ti Chen – the Chinese restaurant of The Saujana Hotel Kuala Lumpur, you may find it a bit confusing to locate it. It’s actually located in the Saujana Golf & Country Club. Walk up a flight of stairs and you will see the entrance of the restaurant on your right. Newly refurbished, Ti Chen now spots lots of rich red and black tones in the furniture and walls. Ornate oriental-style carved wood panels, shimmery drapes and bright red lanterns hang from the … [Read more...]

Spanish Inspired Wine Dinner at The Restaurant @ The Club Saujana Resort
The Restaurant at The Club Saujana Resort hosted a special Spanish Inspired Wine Dinner recently to introduce some impeccable wines from some of the best wineries in Spain. Sipping some excellent cava at the lounge while waiting for dinner to start, I was once again impressed by the elegant and classy surroundings (read about my first visit here). Through the intermittent closing and opening of the glass doors as guests walked out onto the terrace, I was lulled by the soothing sounds of … [Read more...]
