Sector 7 @ SetiaWalk, Puchong
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...]

Do you know where the first Bulgogi Brothers restaurant is located in Korea? Why, where else but in Gangnam! Yes, everyone knows where Gangnam is now, thanks to Psy. 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.

Ornate oriental-style carved wood panels, shimmery drapes and bright red lanterns hang from the … [Read more...]
