So this year I chose to visit Hotel Armada again for a preview of their festive promotions. Once again, Executive Chef Chew Teik Chye and team have come up with some … [Read more...]
AFTERMEAL DESSERTS, Damansara Uptown
This dessert shop is making waves in the Damansara Uptown area. And I can totally understand why. I have also become a fan of this place!

The menu is simple - just a combination of hot and cold desserts, served with sprinkling of Taiwanese, Korean, Chinese and also local styles and flavours. Think shaved ice, boba, jelly, popping pearls, sweet potato and taro balls … sound familiar? This casual sweet eatery is run by Pei … [Read more...]
BRASSERIE LÉON, TTDI: Simple Classic French Fares

There’s an easy contemporary feel in the chic shades of blue and grey echoing throughout the restaurant. In the day time, lots of natural light streams into the premise through the huge expanse of glass occupying most of the walls. But we were there for dinner and the whole place took on a cosy romantic ambience, thanks to the enchanting fairy lights and muted rays … [Read more...]

YAKITORI DINING FUKUDA, Desa Sri Hartamas
Whenever we visit Japan, we never fail to eat and drink at izakayas there, simply because we are quite big fans of the casual food served there. Grilled skewers of chicken and other meats, done the Japanese way have a way of growing your appetite. I mean, we can sit forever in these izakayas and order countless sticks of those goodies and won’t even notice the time passing by! The relaxed (and sometimes boisterous) vibes in an izakaya - chatter, laughter mixed with clinking of drinking glasses … [Read more...]
MYEONGDONG TOPOKKI – a quick fix for affordable Korean meals!
I love Korean food. And I usually satisfy the hansik cravings in restaurants where I can have everything and anything between bulgogi and bossam!

When it comes to street food, well, you find them all over the place, from street to station. Train and subway stations are popular places for street … [Read more...]
