Now that most of my Chinese New Year reviews have been tackled, it’s time to talk about some non-Chinese food. If you are tired of gorging on braised sea cucumbers, roast pork, steamed chicken and such… well, some simple western-style dishes could be just the answer to your jaded tongue. Bondi Junction @ Setia Walk, just over 2 months old, could be a bit difficult to spot as it’s located on the 1st floor of Block F. A good location tip is to look out for the Ding Tea outlet as Bondi … [Read more...]
Scrumptious Bites at The Bread Shop, Damansara Heights
The Bread Shop in Damansara Heights has been serving and delighting their customers with their gorgeous breads and pastries for a number of years now. Recently, they introduced their latest French-style pastry: the Kouign Amann (read my post here) and they are proud to be the first bakery in Malaysia to offer that. Well, the kouign amann is not the only item that I love in The Bread Shop. There are quite a few others that I crave and these are their staple items, really. Banana … [Read more...]
A Delicious Christmas
The latest outlet in the Delicious stable – Delicious @ St Mary Place may not be easy to locate, for some, as it’s inside a block of residential condominium.

The cluster of buildings there comprises the St Mary Residences, the E&O Residences and St Mary Place with a collection of … [Read more...]
Spanish Inspired Wine Dinner at The Restaurant @ The Club Saujana Resort

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...]
Renoma Cafe Gallery @ Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur
Is it a gallery? Is it a café? Is it a fashion lifestyle store? Those are usually the questions people ask when they step into Renoma Café Gallery – that spanking new establishment with the bright red Renoma sign along Jalan Bukit Bintang, diagonally across the Prince Court Medical Centre. Actually, the answer is: All of the above! Many years ago, I got acquainted with the brand “Renoma” through its popularity in ready-to-wear fashion clothings, accessories and of course, the famed … [Read more...]
“Bring Me Food” @ Tosca in DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur
I like the concept of “Bring Me Food” that’s being introduced at Tosca in DoubleTree by Hilton Kuala Lumpur. I mean, who wouldn’t like that, right? Bringing someone food must surely be one of the best things to do, especially to food lovers! It’s kinda like the Japanese Omakase concept. Basically that means “I’ll leave it up to you” and in this case, it means leaving it to the chef to cook whatever he fancies for that meal. To some, it may be a bit risky for who knows what the chef could be up … [Read more...]

Amadeus Bistro & Wine Bar @ Life Centre Kuala Lumpur
It’s pretty easy to locate Amadeus Bistro & Wine Bar in the newly refurbished Life Centre along Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur. In fact, it was so easy that I arrived much earlier than the rest of my dining companions that evening and I had ample time to check out the place. At Amadeus Bistro & Wine Bar, the low-ceilinged room acts as a cosy, quiet refuge for patrons eager to have lunch, dinner, coffee, or just to chill out and have a chat with friends. This casually chic European … [Read more...]
