Enjoy the festive season at TRADERS HOTEL KUALA LUMPUR!
I can’t believe Christmas is just a month away. Where has the year gone?? And because I got to attend a special preview of Christmas and New Year goodies at the Traders Hotel Kuala Lumpur recently, I got this oh-no-time-has-flown kinda nostalgia earlier than most of you. While I look forward to celebrating the festivities, there’s always a tinge of regret over the passing year. Year-end is always a bitter-sweet thing: excitement in the festivities, incoming new year and of course, the … [Read more...]

MAGNUM KUALA LUMPUR’s new desserts – time to party!
Have you been to the one and only pleasure store in Mid Valley Megamall? Now before you get some funky ideas about that, this pleasure store is none other than Magnum Kuala Lumpur.

Jewels in the Lotus at Zuan Yuan, One World Hotel
This year the Mid Autumn Festival falls on 27 September which is in sync with the 15th day of the 8th month in the Chinese calendar. With less than a month away, restaurants and hotels have been promoting their mooncakes, some as early as two months ago! The familiar sight of mooncakes in restaurants is now a common thing to entice customers to buy or place orders for their favourite flavours. In Zuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant, Chef Jordan Chin has been busy in his kitchen producing the … [Read more...]
Mid Autumn Treasures from Toh Yuen @ Hilton Petaling Jaya
Besides the Lunar New Year, another major festival when the Chinese celebrate a reunion of sorts is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although very much now a commercial affair (which festival here is not?), the Mid-Autumn Festival remains a celebration steeped in tradition for many. As a kid growing up in Ipoh all those years ago, I remember I’ve always looked forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival, aka Mooncake Festival as that’s one occasion when we would have so much food placed on an outdoor table, as … [Read more...]
Ecole P – a stroll down nostalgia lane
Stepping into Ecole P is like taking a nostalgic journey down memory lane. Yes, specifically the lane to your childhood school. It’s like stepping back into my primary school classroom. After all, “ecole” is school in French, so it’s no wonder the owners drew their inspiration from there. The tables, complete with scratchings, are fashioned from old school desks, menus are written on exercise books and cutlery is kept in pencil cases stuffed inside school bags. Charming vintage vibes … [Read more...]
Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert
I’m so glad that Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert has opened an outlet here in 1-Utama. Working next to this mall, any new food establishment is a fresh breath of air to the sometimes-jaded dining scene here. Hong Kong Sheng Kee Dessert originates from Singapore where it has firmly established itself with 17 branches in that island nation. Now that’s a pretty impressive record – after all, Singapore is Singapore where competition reigns in everything. Spotting a casual contemporary dining … [Read more...]
Best Durian Desserts in KL & PJ
How do you like your durians? Fresh? Or cooked and made into desserts? Some people are averse to eating cooked durians but the King of Fruits can be made into so many different types of sweets and injecting them with its unique flavor. CAKES Durians are widely added to cakes as these are extremely popular. Due to the mushy texture of mashed durians, it’s rather tricky to balance it in the cake recipe. Two of the most outstanding cakes featuring durians that are my favourite … [Read more...]
